Some of the kill cams are embarrassing to watch, just spraying and people drop...no aiming whatsoever. Even some of my kills as well... Just embarrassing that spraying like this is what this game is about half the time.

The killcam infuriates me sometimes. I get 3-4 hitreg markers on shots on my target, then from the killcam the enemy takes 0 damage.

Either the killcam is lying or the game's netcode is garbo.

Doubt it's as bad as what I posted a few pages back: https://twitter.com/excaliburps/status/927816056436957185

I'm gettin into so many half over matches its ridiculous and always on the side of a beat down

Same. Either it's 3v6 or games that are 34-120 in Dom, etc.

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.

FYI, SGH has said that flinch would be fixed after users complained in the beta. It should be fixed in this version, but seeing as this is the beta version, I gather, it'll be fixed once the proper patch has been released. I assume that'll happen once servers are stable, hence why they can't announce it or anything.

Got to love the quick scope kills where the reticle is 3 inches outside the targets. It's insane.

Oh... and the game is still broken in areas, including not getting your supply drops for leveling up and an empty HQ. Not to mention how bare-bones the rewards in general are. About all I have got are pistol grips and a few emotes, not even any outfits.

I'll keep messing around with it so I can get my money's worth, but I am ready to move on to Battlefront 2 next weekend. I have had some fun, but there is just too many problems and not enough incentive for me to stick around with this one. A shame, as I was really looking forward to going back to WWII.

Spawning in this game is a joke right now. I either get stuck in specter mode or get no count down and the other already has the jump start fucking your team over.

Sad to say, but I feel the same way. I mean, the core gameplay is fun, but it seems shallow, though. Gun grips, Calling Cards, emotes aren't exactly a good hook for players to keep opening Supply Drops.

I don't know why I can't put this game down. I think it's because I just crave something new, crucible was supposed to be my new fix as after hundred of bf1 hours I just am spent a bit. And I guess I keep thinking this will turn around but it just doesn't.

And I hate bitching about it, I want to just play and post like hey I'm finally rolling.

I don't know if this has been asked yet but I just got a chance to load up the game and is there really no ground war? Is 12 players really the max per map? And is there no rotation for objective types? Like past cods.

This game has to be discriminating certain connection types or something. I know EVERYBODY cannot be having the connection issues I'm having as pretty much every single player I've come across the last two days kicks my ass regardless of the situation.

I KNOW when my reflexes are on point and when they are off, and for the last couple of days this game has been impossible to play even when I am on my game. Any encounter where I am pretty sure I'm getting shots down first, I'm not getting hit markers until 3-5 shots are fired, and sometimes I die before even seeing the enemy fire. The kill cams are still showing me shooting behind moving enemies, which would explain the lack of hit markers, if for some reason I am seeing a ghost, or delayed visual of my enemy's position.

A guy is reloading, I dump shots on him, he finishes reloading and kills me in what feels like one bullet. Kill cam shows him finishing his reload, me staring at him, then shooting behind him, and he takes his time to line me up and kill me. I know a guy is coming around a corner, he has no idea I'm there, as soon as I hear that he's coming I time my shot perfectly to where he should've died immediately, instead I get off 4 shots with one hit marker then die before seeing him fire. The kill cam shows me staring at him as he comes around the corner, he reacts relatively slowly in lining me up and firing, then I am shown letting off one bullet before he kills me.

I had NO connection issues the first two nights and every encounter felt fair. If I died to an enemy it was because they reacted quicker, I missed a shot, whatever. Deaths made sense, I rarely felt like I clearly had a kill and got robbed by connection. If anybody has any explanation for this please shed some light, because I was really enjoying this game before the connection issues. Now it is borderline making me rage and having me not even want to bother playing it.
100% my experience. The most frustrating first week of COD since Advanced Warfare - unfortunately the last Sledgehammer game. With AW, I could at least comfort myself with the information that it was 1. very broken 2. very bad (yes, I will fight you, it is the worst game in the series) and the connection didn't get better for months. WW2 is innovative, interesting, a return to the roots, and so far a good game - it;s just that half of the players (myself included!!) are playing a fundamentally different game in multiplayer, one that puts you at a huge disadvantage.

This coming from a former COD Youtuber, vet since CoD1 on PC, and consistent high KD and high WL player. This is not empty smoke. This is a serious problem that has frustrated me so much this is the least I have played of ANY CoD on release going back to CoD2 on the PC. They need to figure this out much, much more quickly than they did with AW.

Exactly, and the supply drops are even harder to get themselves. I am not going to grind in this half-broken game just so I can stand around in an empty HQ and do jumping jacks while opening hard to come by crates of pistol grips, calling cards and emotes. The game is a mess and greed is just dripping off of it to boot.

I was flooded when I realized all those grips were for fucking pistols

I just want to play, yet every match there's something.. Either a fucking no lifer cyborg or the match is half over

This is madness. I can easily get into matches like Domination, Kill Confirmed and even Hardpoint on PC.

PC.
Yeah this is the first CoD I've exclusively bought for PC in a very long time and the peak daily player count has been strong. It's nice being able to play all the game modes on PC. With that said I still think CoD is sub-par shooter in the PC space, the net code can be good one game then the next you can put 10 bullets into someone and have them turn around and melt you in what feels like one shot, which can be maddening when you're used to playing every other game on dedicated servers with very low ping consistently (I stopped playing pubg cause it's also a mess in this respect).

I'm loving this game. playing a ton of WaR and TDM. Everything has been super smooth.

Return to form for me! I hated the jet pack CODs

They need to rebalance Operation Griffin's final escort. Waaaaaay too much in favor of the defending team.

Really enjoying the game and starting to find my groove online but damn if there isn't a lot of bugs. I'm baffled there's still no patch or resolution to a lot of the issues.

Also what's with them pumping out heavily HQ challenges when HQ is a ghost town still. It's like they're completely ignoring what's going on. The communication with the community has been fairly non existant too.

Surprisingly I got into some normal matches tonight. There was one particular lobby where a lot of the same players stayed through five games or so. The first three games the connection felt great and I was going well above 2:1, then suddenly the connection turned to junk and I was going super negative against mostly the same people. It's just baffling how far apart the ends of the spectrum are here with the connection being either great or rubbish.

Getting to play these few normal matches and then going straight into the lagged ones made me notice something with aim assist though - it acts very strangely in the lagged matches. Normally aim assist is pretty strong, even at mid to long range engagements with an AR such as the STG. In a lagged match though aim assist feels completely botched. It seems to activate when aiming NEAR an enemy as opposed to when aiming at them, so it really throws off my aim due to aim sensitivity slowing down at the wrong time. When trying to lock onto a moving enemy my aim sometimes stays constantly slightly behind them. When trying to make the slight aim adjustment, aim assist fades out and sometimes shoots my aim past the enemy. Basically aim assist actually becomes a detriment in some of these lagged matches. I've noticed this exact phenomenon at rare times in Black Ops 2 where it feels like all aim assist is doing is helping me miss my target.

So for anybody else having matches where it feels like everybody has a connection advantage on you, are you noticing anything like I am describing? Aim assist is very noticeably different for me in these matches as compared to normal matches.

FYI, SGH has said that flinch would be fixed after users complained in the beta. It should be fixed in this version, but seeing as this is the beta version, I gather, it'll be fixed once the proper patch has been released. I assume that'll happen once servers are stable, hence why they can't announce it or anything.

So flinch is going to be dialed down to how it is when using an anti-flinch perk, except without needing the perk (in this case basic training)?

Don't open you supply drops yet, wait for them to put the guns in, then open them.

Pardon my confusion as I haven't really played the last few CoDs, but what are the guns going to be like? This is going to be something different from the gun variants that are currently included in supply drops?

I'm not sure how I feel about it yet. I've logged about 2 hours in MP and I'm pretty sure I liked IW & BLOPS3 better for their more dynamic gameplay and varied maps.

I really love varied maps. They're important to me :) The map list in this is pretty depressing, but I guess that's what the season pass is for.

Also, the matches are way too short.

Man there has to be some lag switch in this game. Makes no sense that you have a team up by 30 in TDM and then suddenly no one on the team can get kills and the enemy team makes this huge leap. Like come on. When no longer you can get any kills cause the moment the enemy sees a hair on your head your dead something is up.

Damn, now we're getting dynamic lag advantage shifting mid match? Sounds like CPU come back mode in sports games.

It feels like it! You can suddenly be doing amazing one second and then absolutely horrible the next. It's crazy!

Also goddamn SMG players make the Warfighter RIG with Speed Boost from IW to shame. They freaking zip across the map.

It's embarr that this is a billion dollar franchise from one of the largest publishers in the world that had a beta for this game and it launches with so much broken shit.

I laugh at people who say Gustav Canon is the worst map in the game then follow that up with U.S.S Alexis Texas is one of the best maps.

That map is horrid to play on most game modes.

Man, just unlocked the FG. It's honestly really fun. Even after one match I really liked the feel and look of it with the Epic variant I have.

The game's great in my opinion. However these network issues need to be sorted ASAP. It should not take upwards of 10 minutes to find a TDM game, it's asinine.

I was doing the the order last night

"Win 20 objective game modes"

I done three war matches, and four dom games, and after every match and scoreboard, it hits me with

"No longer connected to server" and I still am, and it doesn't count towards a win even though I won all them games.

So I was still at 0/20

Fuck that

I've been away, I've got some time coming up and a £25 Amazon voucher to burn.

This for £47, Battlefield 1 Revolution for £30 or Call Of Duty Legacy Edition for £25.

Hmmmm. I thought the Beta to WW2 was ok, loved AW, was meh on BLOPS3 and skipped IW. Loved COD4 back in the day. Hearing these impressions isn't making an easy choice haha.

I would like a healthy online scene and the thought of jumping on relatively early in a scene is appealing.

What doooo

Battlefield 1 is way better get that. If you don't enjoy the large scale maps and just want small maps and instant satisfaction get this. For $30 BF1 revolution is a good value since you'll be getting all current and future dlc as well.

That's my dilemma. I do prefer smaller maps but I understand as a value proposition content wise BF1 looks stellar and won't have the crazy server issues WW2 is currently having.

Okay, so I just started playing the MP and am getting absolutely murdered with the initial weapons I have at my disposal as opposed to everyone else. Any suggestions for gun I should be using early on?
