Call of Duty: WWII |OT| Loot's on the ground
- Thread starter egg
- Start date
I just have to ask (sorry if it has already been asked!), how does EG's review compare with the general consensus of this game amongst you guys who have finished it? Im soooooooo on the fence with this one. I really want it, but at the same time, I'm thinking maybe its "just another cod"?
I played the beta and wasn't impressed by the MP, other than the WAR mode.

Mission 3 with the sniper and flamethrower is pretty awesome. Really enjoyed my time with that one and I think it's a pretty good mission for a COD game. The interaction between the characters is cliched and "been there, done that", but it's fun. I'm more invested than with the BF1 campaign.
If by EG you mean Eurogamer, I totally agree with their review, it's a return to form for the franchise in my opinion. If you never liked COD or are tired of the franchise for all the things it has always done, you won't like it. If like me you do like the franchise, appreciate the "blockbuster" campaign and the arcade but fun and engaging mp and were tired of the high jumps and wall running from past games, you won't regret it. The zombies mode is also my favorite so far (but I admit that as much as I love zombies in general, this is not why I buy the games).

I have yet to see anyone in HQ (running it on a PRO). MP seems completely broken in terms of matchmaking.
I cannot believe it launched in that state. A few bugs you have to accept with the complexity of the tech nowadays, but this is ridiculous...

This is pretty much me as well. I just play Rambo I guess, always have in most games.
That in mind I have stuck to War Mode mostly because it really works with my playstyle usually and I love it. I feel like I am making a difference even if I am dying over and over on the bridge or defending the bomb site or planting explosives its a game of inches.
Matchmaking has been fine for me and my group for the last three days. Been able to find like 40-50 games in every mode on Xbox. Headquarters still not populated with randos, but honestly, I prefer it that way.
War is a pretty awesome mode...but again it's just fucking amazing how you can't just get a match with normal players. Just constant sniping, just so fucking annoying... I mean damn this mode seems to have serious potential but you get these guys just running and quick scoping, it's lame..
It's almost like this game is doing everything in its power to make me hate it so bad when I just am enjoying things, but then I realize that once again I don't have shit on some of these guys playing.
Where are these freaks from?? I don't see these types of players in any other shooter, like once in a blue moon

Exactly what I think. I've come across situations where I'm hiding in a corner (camping), and I see someone peek out and shoot at me before I can react. I know they don't have a UAV. I watched the kill cam, and it showed them peeking AND seeing me, before I even started shooting. First time I've been hit with this kind of connection issues in a COD game. I mean, this bad.
Same for me right now. Can't find any game on any mode.
Not sure if anyone cares, but our review is still "in progress" due to the server issues. We want to make sure we give it a fair shake in terms of servers, glitches and whatnot. Not being a dick, but most of the traditional reviews aren't that good at multiplayer games, and can't talk about the specific issues, changes in a game that's MP-focused as Call of Duty.
Working for me, although I did get a network error and had to restart the game.
Always need to exit the lobby after match and reload though
I have not played tons of MP it has been mostly War but I have seen very few Quick Scoping so far.
For the most part people are playing the objective when I play, I get on my mic a few times and try to call out a few things (lets push tank A or plant on B first) and it seems to help a little.
It's awful especially considering KD doesn't even count there i mean what's the point?
I do still love the mode tho, i'm trying so many different builds with LMGS and snipers and just having more fun because of the lack of stress of the KD count.
I've had to camp hard and zone areas to do good, which I have no problem with as that's my preferred method but on the occasion I like rambo'n it which is difficult with the bullshit lag
Can we just shoot it down with our gun? I wish we can use a launcher as a secondary for any class.
First game I've ever seen where guys who are like 11-19 in a match are absolutely fucking insane.
I just don't get it.. I'm hanging in there but the game breaking me every day. I can't stand having such fun matches to then every other match have like nothing but my face suplexed thru a brick to where I can't even fucking do anything. Like it makes me want to sit in a corner in those matches...
Just Unreal

The time between games is far too long. Sitting in a full lobby of 12 with no timer and no idea of when a match is going to start is daft.
People just end up quitting and searching again so what's the point? I really wish you could avoid headquarters completely.

You know you aren't just making it up when you're in a lobby for multiple games doing well, then magically one game the entire other team, who you were killing with no problem in previous games, has godlike reflexes and your bullets suddenly aren't registering, and you die twice to a guy who is 3-14. Haven't seen this since MW3, and the problem lasted 11 months until they released a net code patch that fixed it (for my connection personally anyway).
If it's only a few who are having these issues I will not be surprised to see this never resolved. I simply don't understand how it literally felt like we were playing on dedicated servers for the first two days with me having almost no connection issues, and then it goes to the complete opposite end of the spectrum and becomes what feels like a P2P lag fest.
It's absolutely infuriating at the moment, I'm really struggling to maintain even a positive K/D coming off the back of hovering around 2 on any other COD. I really want to like the game but the netcode is dreadful, I had the same problems with Advanced Warfare.
It worked in the end for me, but the only people on my team in war sat in corners and didn't do any attacking of defending so it was a quick round.
It's like a mixed bag for me, some games are fine others makes me want to throw the controller lol
Not sure how this match making is setup as activition never seem to come out clean and open with COD games, but from reading some of the notes it's supposed to start the search from ping ranges and try and group an even latency together from that. If a certain period of time is passed then it's meant to increase that search range and group with the next tier of ranges.
I'm assuming that's not always working, and hell something is definitely wrong as BLOPS3 and IW I instantly join games from hitting the search button pretty much.
I'm having connection issues and its making it impossible to enjoy the game. On some matches it works flawlessly but the majority of the other matches I constantly have a single red bar and its impossible to play well. I generally have really consistent internet and I play lots of competitive games with 0 issues, so I'm kind of at a loss here.
Same here, the game seems like it would actually be fun but I'm on the verge of trading it in if they don't sort these connection issues out soon.
Even beyond my connection issues WW2 feels like the worst launch performance of any CoD title unless I'm forgetting some of the older launches. I know the game is fun when its working so I'm just going to wait it out, and also I bought it digitally so I'll have to keep it regardless.
Thanks! Ya, Eurogamer. Their review said "Recommended", and usually I agree with their reviews, but I'm skeptic towards this one. I didn't go for any of the "space" CODs, the last one I played was Ghosts, and as I figured, it wasn't the highpoint of the series. I loved MW, COD2/First COD, WaW and MOH AA, maybe I'll pick it up just for the campaign then!
You can use a launcher on any class , just equip launced as your basic training thing.
You can take it down with anything but Mich easier with a launcher
Really happy I bought the base game, physical, on PS4 and didn't go gold digital like I usually do. Gonna finish up the SP campaign and probably trade it in soon, there's just a lot of frustrating things in MP that buries the fun stuff. I love war mode and it captures the feel of WW2 so well for me, but its super annoying that there are daily/weekly bounties that require you to do 1v1 in lobby pits and the only way to do that right now is to find a friend who also has WW2 and trade wins with them. Just the "special" bounty that requires you to win 1 of each game kind is super frustrating because I'm at 8/9 and will never reach 9/9 because there is zero chance of me ever winning a free for all unless everyone else disconnects. I don't understand this postmaster thing, why does he give me some rando points every 4 hours and are those points good for anything other than getting more random bounties from the quartermaster? Why does the QM give bounties that are different from the guy in the middle of camp?
The way loot crates work in this game, I feel the most disconnected from loot than in any COD game. I have literally not opened a single loot crate since the intro sequence and really have no desire to.
I really hope Battlefront 2 works out better, I digitally pre ordered that game which may end up being a mistake. These COD games are getting insane size wise too though, I need to delete some stuff to preload BF2 and BO3 is 121 gigs, Modern Warfare R is like 50 gigs, and Infinite Warfare is 100 gigs. What the fuck is up with these sizes...

This is my run and gunner setup
Airborne + Energetic + PPSH with quickdraw and grip as attachments. Silencer also comes in handy and the damage fall off isnt too bad.
You can literally sprint around for days. Went 30-11 on my last FF match using this GOAT loadout :D
I swear every damn time I get my first win in a gametype when I have an order to win that gametype, I get a server disconnect and I don't get the credit for the win. It's fucking infuriating.
Rented it for single player but gave the multiplayer an hour today. Can't believe how awkward the characters move. Weak job in the animation dept.
That's why I've said I don't get how it's so acceptable this day and age. I mean I hate mentioning it all the time but I use Battlefield 1 as sort of the bar... And that bar was set pretty high in many departments especially overall animations and character movement etc.
Watching players run with a nade and or throw it looks so bad, pure laziness
Prestige the Expeditionary division. You'll unlock Concussed, which lets you carry 2 of the same lethals.
You can commend other players in the lobby menu if you hit X/A on another player it brings up the traditional menu.
Prestiged Mountain Division today. Kar98 is nice but I've spent so much time with the Lee Enfield that I don't know if I can switch.
this was always the best thing about cod that you could literally launch it and be in a mp game within a minute. Now it's loading so many stupid scenes and stuff it takes too long to get in a game and far too long to end one.
Man. I'm taking a break from COD till this weekend I think. I had some great matches earlier and all of a sudden I run into a whole team rocking espionage. That's shit is not fun at all.
The last CoD I played seriously was Black Ops 2, and it was easy to incorporate toughness into classes. Flinch was a non factor for anybody who really wanted to take it away for the most part. Having to kill your basic training spot with Primed is a very poor way to implement flinch removal IMO. I generally like the design of the divisions and basic training breaking up the perks, but it seems like I'll have to live with flinch in this game.
Yeah the PP is filthy. I generally run the STG, but if I go SMG the PP is where its at for me.
I'm gettin into so many half over matches its ridiculous and always on the side of a beat down
Sadly it has all the ingredients to be a monumental game but in the current state is just broken.
I love the game but no one can't deny that.
