Call of Duty: WWII |OT| Loot's on the ground

It honestly gives me Wasteland vibes, which means I'm backing out every time I see the map.
Same. Super terrible. I think they lose connection or something since it has happened to me. Like, a match starts and then I suddenly see myself getting kicked back out into HQ with various error messages.
Also, matchmaking is crap. I'm either lumped into losing games, matches where it's 3v5 or more, or one-bar ping. Proof? Here: https://twitter.com/excaliburps/status/927680111029002240
Super infuriating. W/L is crap right now, and I'm honestly surprised my KD is even at a positive. Activision really needs to roll out dedicated servers (not just this hybrid nonsense) to make it an even playing field. When I play with three bars, I feel it since enemies die instantly with 3-5 shots. In one-bar matches, it takes me almost an entire magazine and need to be super crafty.
I honestly don't remember BO3 matchmaking and servers being this bad, and I kinda suspect Headquarters is one of the culprits for the instability for some reason.
I have so much power when it comes to what maps I play on since no one fucking votes for maps lol
War mode is great fun and fits the series perfectly. I'm loving the gunplay, really packs a punch.
I think people dismissing the game's visuals are biased. It's not a Naughty Dog game, but the game looks great (on my basic ps4). They really nailed the WW2 aesthetic, they captured the cinematic feeling, good color pallet, great lighting. Some of the effects are outdated, mainly the explosions, but flames and fire are great. Cutscenes in the campaign are top-tier though, as they've always been since AW.
Tried zombies for the first time, it's great, I love the new direction, seems more accessible and I like the overall aesthetic. Is it possible to beat the mode by yourself?
Also, as for bugs and lag, I haven't felt a thing on the ps4, in europe. The only problem is the empty HQ, everything else is working perfectly. Never got kicked of a game, got stuck on a menu or felt an abnormal lag.

LOL, same here. Someone in one of my lobbies was like "You know you can press Q to vote for maps guys"
Why does it seem like everyone knows where you are at all times even when spawning in and just taking a corner to get your bearings for like 2 seconds?
On Gustav Cannon I use a sniper rifle as primary and either the BAR or Toggle Action as my secondary. Allows me to be mobile and still have so much fun haha
It really is a failure of UI design, I think people just can't tell that you can actually vote for maps. They need to highlight that part of the menu more.
It's never been this bad. This is by far the worse netcode in a cod game. It's ridiculous.
Thanks, not sure how I missed that. Maybe now it will be easier to avoid Gustav Cannon :D

Cool, I managed to get a "Heroic" weapon skin for the Garand from a rare supply drop (the Frontline II skin). Looks neat.
This is basically my experience with every COD.

I'm getting pretty tired of the next game instantly starting almost before the current game finishes. Why are we changing lobbies after every game, too? I'm getting a ton of join in progresses.
So I do not care about politics or drama. I just have a simple straight up question.
Is this game worth it just for the SP Campaign?
My X arrives tomorrow so I have held off checking it out, but from what I have read so far the Campaign does not seem like it is what it should be.
I am picking up NFS Payback from Best Buy tomorrow (it is a guilty pleasure of mine), so I have the option of keeping my current copy of this game and playing it, or trading it in towards the new Assassins Creed.
I am heavily leaning towards the latter. But I do love SP Campaigns focused around WWII. Also a guilty pleasure of mine.
So really just looking for simple yes it is or no it is not answers to help me decide do I trade it in towards AC or do I keep it.

Level 49 now. Not used to not having double XP weekend on launch, shit's starting to feel like a slog now.
Lol it's just comforting to see others know that feel.
But I just ask.. Where are these fucking cyborgs from?
I think my final summary of cod ww2 is this, for me it's definitely better than previous cods that I've played...as I can actually stomach it and it's not nonstop being shot from behind unless I've adapted better..
But overall as a shooter I think it boils down to these guys who are insane have just gotten so used to spraying instantly, or just staring down sight lines etc... And they're masters of it.
I also think you're head has to be on to much of a swivel and that's due to so many openings, if they closed some off and maps felt more like a real area as opposed to how many sneaky paths people can run at you every angle this game would be so much better, the series in general.
I should post a video of my favorite Battlefield map and how even for tdm, it just feels like a real place instead flat ground with obstacles and lanes for people to fire down.
But it's definitely better than recent cods in my eyes.
Max weapon level varies. Some might cap at 9, some at 10 and some at 12.
When you first prestige a weapon, you unlock the ability to add your clan tag to the side of the weapon.
When you prestige the weapon again, you can add a kill counter to the side.
Both of these are TINY. You can hardly see them and if you add a camo it's even worse.
IMO, it's not worth prestiging any gun. On the bright side, you seem to level them up pretty quickly if you do choose to prestige.
Cool thank you. Didn't know what they added if you prestiged. I was guessing maybe a special camo or something. Guess not hehe
I enjoyed the single-player campaign but I would say no. It would be a decent rental, but if you have no interest in touching MP or zombies, it's probably not worth it.
A friend and I were both doing super good until we got that garbage ass snow map 3 times in a row. I vow to quit every single game on that map.
I know there are more refined or ambitious games out there but I get sucked back in to the COD multiplayer meatgrinder every other year.
I know there are server issues at the moment but when it works, is the core gameplay loop still fun? I've had my fill of Titanfall.

Well, fuck the Normandy campaign in War mode. At least as an attacker. The enemy just puts down the MG fire down the beach where you spawn every time and there is almost no chance to escape. This is a worse splatterfest than Operation Metro back in the Battlefield 3 days. Apart from that, it's alright, I guess.
Gonna have to make a "Normandy" custom class then. I do enjoy the map, storming the beach shouldn't be easy.
Is there anyway to increase scoped/ADS aimspeed for snipers? I usually lose close range fights because I can't spin fast enough when scoped. (No scoping is not really my strength.)
Also, what is the Sharpshooter skill for the Mountain Division? Is it just the ability to hold your breath when scoped?

I never have an issue with the beach part. Just sprint from cover to cover and I can easily make it to the bunkers. I usually always go to bunker B first.
Now the map where you have to build the bridge is always a slaughter fest for me. And if no one has smoke then GG.
The key with that map (and indeed all of the War maps) as an attacker is smoke grenades, they completely negate the MG nests because they can't see shit.
I have a strategy for that map as an attacker that has been serving me well. Head up the right flank of the beach at the start, moving from cover-to-cover, using the dive-to-prone mechanic if necessary. Then, run to the far-right of the beach wall where you have to plant the bangalore in order to clear the barbed wire. Crawl to the bangalore and set it off. Then, toss a smoke grenade right at the base of the right-side bunker where the machine guns are. Once you have sufficient cover, keep running right until you get to the ladder that you can build. Climb and enter the base, and take out the MG gunners.
This strategy works 9 times out of 10 for me. Of course, as soon as the enmy team gets notified that the base is being taken and it's just me in there, I quickly get overwhelmed by the entire team making a mad rush to the base. But it's a good way to cause some quick panic for the enemy team. Sometimes you even get lucky and they'll abandon the defenses on the left side in order to deal with you, leaving space for your team to move up.
Are you and your team using smoke? Because with no smoke I call bull. It's a meat grinder if you're attacking and the defenders can aim worth their salt.
Add to this increasingly incomprehensible belligerent swearing and this is me in every CoD.
I'm not sure what it is but I'm sucking worse at this Call of Duty than any previous one I've played. I could hold my own and carry a 2.0KD/R in most of the past games, Black Ops 3 being the exception where I actually did way better than usual. In this one I feel completely useless, I can be 2 inches away from someone and not be able to hold the aim steady while shooting them. I've also noticed some weird things where I'll enter a room no one will be there but then I die and the killcam shows them there the entire time. I'm really just wondering at this point if this game is not meant for me or if it's actually just not working all that great atm (it's probably me).
I completely forgot the smokes. Yeah, I should keep that in mind. I don't know if they are that efficient on PC, though. I actually managed to get through a few times on the right flank, but when I'm the only one making the run while my team is behind cover in the water and trying to snipe the MGs while they get obliterated there's not much I can do. But I will still go for the smokes. Better one than none. Thanks!
Eh, I'm starting to give up on the MP. Its just so inconsistent, the aiming just feels so weird, felt this way since the beta. It seems impossible to get any killstreaks and the maps are pure shit(which is probably half the problem). I'm gonna give it some more time because I try my best to give the mp a chance to get better. There's only one other COD where I would go 25-4 one match and then have a string of games where I went 4-18 and that was Advanced Warfare. It just seems like Treyarch is the only one of the devs that seems to get the COD "feel" right. The campaign was great though.
Yea it's so foreign to me in general. I never played a series where I just felt like my skills are back to square one every other match. I typically play and learn, get my ass kicked at times but then I start to just do better unless I'm truly against a juggernaut team. But I've put in hundreds of hours in halo, battlefront, Battlefield, crucible, doom, on and on.... And theyre all the same in terms of I get better match after match. I never feel I'm on a coaster.
And like I've asked before.. Is this just where the greatest players ever are? Because it certainly feels like it.
