What is the download size for this patch 12gb? Anyways even though I hate Shoot House with a passion it's the only good map to get kills toward the mount camos.
Well I know for a fact that the first thing listed didn't get fixed lol
Truthfully looking at the video game release schedule for the next few months, there is nothing I'm ever remotely interested in until March at the earliest. And event that's a maybe.
I've already put 150+ hours into this game and it's the only game I will be playing for the forseeable future. I enjoy playing it. I enjoy talking about it. I enjoy most aspects of the experience. It's a hobby for me, not just recreation. So I don't mind putting money into it that I would normally be spending on other games. I'm sure Activision is happy with the payday they receive from someone like me but I know exactly what I'm doing. I'm a grown ass person and I can spend my budgeted money the way I want and recognize the upsides and downsides without feeling taken advantage of or preyed upon.
By far my biggest frustration with this game at the moment is nobody playing objective. Losing a game of hardpoint Narrowly when I've got 2 minutes in the area and everyone else combined is on thirty seconds is so annoying. It has always been an issue in cod but is super frustrating.
Will buying a bunch of Mountain Dew help me get through this Battle Pass or what? Or is it more tied to time played?
I think I'm in the same boat. I keep coming back to give this game another chance since I always give these games time to find its footing. But I loaded it up again for the first time in a week and its just the same boring shit every match. All of the maps, except shoothouse and gunrunner are pure shit, entire teams camping in corner rooms with claymores, shitty visibility, challenges are shitty and are badly setup, etc. And spec ops is a fucking joke on top of it. I only keep it installed just in case my friend wants to play a little 2v2 or they announce the battle royale mode so its nice and updated and ready. Dont want to reinstall one day and wait 500 hours for a patch to copy. :P
Yeah I know. It's the main reason I stepped away and decided to wait for them to fix alot of the game. The main thing they need to do is make kill streaks into scorestreaks across the board.
Because as long as the only way to get high end Killstreaks is to camp and play safe then objective game modes will be completely unplayable for solo players. Because it will just be abunch of kids running around going for kills while ignoring the actual point of the game which is to win.
I agree entirely on score streaks. It was a positive change when it was made back in the day for this very reason, and the perks alone aren't a good swap. Given the functionality is in the game it isn't even like it would be a hard change to implement.
There's no reason to play objectively, they need to move to scorestreaks instead. It's already in the game so it shouldn't be that difficult.
I will never understand why people like clusterfuck maps like Shoot House. I can't stand them. I leave every single lobby match that puts me in Shoot House.
No thank you.
No thank you.
Picking up somebodies Ram-7 honestly makes me want to pay to win considering how slow the battle pass levels up and you can't cheese it unless you're playing on PS4. The gun is better than the M4 in every way and feels like it's almost uncontestable. It does the same damage as the M4 with a higher firerate so I'm sure around the time that most people start getting it they're going to nerf it into the ground.
If you want to play some Domination with me, I'll cap and die on the objectives with you. PSN: Hoodbury. Activision ID: Hoodbury29
They would not be so bad if they were not 6v6, but I agree. Then they complain about spawns being bad, on a map that small.
The shit tastic spawning on that map isn't even the worst part of the map for me. It's that 2nd story building in the middle. It turns into a idiotic king of the hill battle between the two teams every freaking time with scrubs camping the doors and windows waiting for people to walk in or come by.
Interesting. I used to play the Wii and Wii-U CoDs and one of the constraints was it was only 5v5. I actually think that played better. You weren't always getting shot from 3 different angles. You had more time to breath, play strategically, or run and gun without getting sniped non stop. Capping flags in Domination was still hard but doable if you cleared the area a bit.
Then when I switched to PS4 and got 6v6 things are just way more unpredictable. I die so much trying to cap the B flag. Flow seems off, etc. I actually preferred 5v5.
Shoot house is great for a number of reasons:
- high kill count
- lack of significant opportunities to camp
- ability to really learn the map - sight-lines, angles etc
- low time from death to getting back into the fight
- supports every different weapon class, from knife-melee masters to LMGs
- relatively high XP is generally possible given the amount of conflicts
- ability to hard counter anything due to size and 3-lane set up
It essentially cures the crap that still needs fixing by virtue of being small.

I don't even really consider it a genuinely good map, it's just better than every other non-Gunfight map in the game IMO. It'd be like a C at best in any other FPS.
It's been said a million times in this thread but I still can't get over the launch maps in this game. It's like Halo 4 levels. I still have nightmares of Complex.
Oh agreed, it's like a bell curve though - because the majority of the normal maps are D- tier (couple of exceptions maybe) shoothouse gets elevated to S-Tier.
When is Gunfight OSP coming? I like that mode more than normal Gunfight. A pistols only Gunfight would be awesome. Anything other than ARs or SMGs.
Shoot house is basically Modern Warfare's life support lol.
When we get the next drip feed most likely. Or the one after if they alternate which mode sees content.
That's an insult to Complex, at least Complelx had a flow to it. Not to mention even the worst vanilla Halo 4 and Reach maps are still way above most of the maps in this game
Night maps taken out again? Goodness, lol. I actually like them because it was a change of pace.
I want 24/7 Crash. After playing it for a few rounds the map design of standard maps comes out even more atrocious. I'd pay full price if they'd just release all CoD 4 maps. Even Shipment.
Are they ever gonna make the Vtol noise be at a bearable level? Every time one gets called in i Can't hear anything else. Like i'm in a party chat with the audio focused on the party and when the vtol shows up i Can't even hear my friends.
It's ridiculous.
It's ridiculous.
Never said it didn't make sense. It just makes the map unplayable for me.
The speed at which they replaced Crash with Shoothouse means they probably saw a massive decrease in engagement and wanted to make sure they maintained numbers throughout the weekend. This should hopefully be a wakeup call for them.
Killstreak audio levels are being tweaked, will be in a future patch.
Just got the game this week. When did IW decide to add the minimap back by default? Was there any reason for the change?
This. This right here.
Shoot House is only good because the basic map design allows you to counter all the fucking glaring problems with the games core design.
Very rarely does the game turn into a boring camp fest like every other map in the game usually does.
Even when I lose I still rack up thousands of score.
So do you just get literally zero battle pass experience if you join a match that's already in session? I didn't even notice it until now because I joined a ground war match that was around 20 - 20, played the whole thing and when I checked after the match my BP bar didn't even move at all.
It has a few questionable sightlines (ex. mid Alpha Gate does not need to have a headglitch overlooking the entire lane), but otherwise yes, I agree. I think the smaller size of Shoot House (and its higher quality than many other 6v6 maps) allows us to better understand IW's major problems when it comes to map design (and where their style can succeed):
- Pro: Narrow, but exposed flank routes that reward taking risks by putting you behind enemies
- Con: There's narrow but exposed flank routes that intersect straight down the middle of the map, there only really needs to be one
- Pro: Power positions worth holding that give visibility to the aforementioned sightlines, as well as a high traffic area
- Con: Both spawns have those power positions, but there only needs to be one, and it should be near the center of the map (a la Crash's original one power position on the dumpster)
- Pro: A vertical area of the map with an asymmetrical entrance to offset how one side has considerably less cover available on their half of the map, and breaks up the monotony of lateral gunfights (good asymmetrical cover balance)
- Con: No cons, that's just a good call
That's a relief. I hope it's not just a minor audio tweak either. Like it's not just a bit too loud but wayyyyyy too loud. Same goes for helicopters by the way.
For some reason it feels like they wanted to have realistic sounding audio but forgot to ask themselves if that would even be a smart idea from a game standpoint and stuff like comfort/qol.
I guess it's immersive as i can totally imagine a jet being this loud as fuck (probably much much worse) and it drowning out everything else but besides immersion it just doesn't work on so many levels.
Comfort? Gone. Communication with friends? Gone. Enjoyment? Gone. Got headphones on? You'll probably have to check your hearing afterwards.
Ah, the wonders of listen servers in 2019! How refreshing.
I just don't get why people leave. I'm pretty sure that if you leave during a survival, it doesn't count. So why leave? It was made worse since it was just 3 of us and two of them were a duo.
Edit: It seemed to have counted a bit of actually? I restarted my game and I'm now nearly lv 10 on my BP.
It still says 4/5 Survival matches played but at least it wasn't a complete loss.
