There are some issues. I can't believe none of those objective mode wins for that weekly bounty counted.

In terms of k/d I'm around 1.2 but I've never cared for that stat nor do I understand the obsession with it.

I'm usually the guy who tries every weapon out or enjoys messing around with a riot shield and throwing knives/C4 so that's probably why lol.

I'm an objective guy. If I go 14 - 21 but have 8 captured and 5 defends I call that a win.

Heads up, Target will have the game for $45 on Black Friday. I'm sure other stores will follow but that's the only store I know of with that price.

Best Buy supposedly is selling it for $40

Kinda wish I waited, but at least I'll get some practice under my belt for the wave of BF/Christmas noobs

So I still cannot connect online after 5 days. Got Error Code 103294 (Basically stuck at 'Connecting to online services' screen and then error pops up). Tried all kinds of things.
It's also basically preventing me from updating the game.

There are few threads online about this issues on different sites but nobody knows what to do. Also Activision's support is frustratingly bad and doesn't even acknowledge the issue.

Does any here have any clue what could be the problem and how to fix it. I literally only have this problem with this game.

Any input is welcome.

I think they need to reduce the required amount of kills in the contracts. I barely made the 100 kills in 40 minutes one, fuck the 130. You'd have to be on fire 100% of the time for a duration of 40 minutes, maybe that is one for the elite.

contracts cost too much and also have some whack challenges. that system needs an overhaul.

Thanks for replaying. I should've specified that I'm trying to play this on the PC, my bad.
Just now I deleted the game and everything, connected the PC straight to the modem, disabled the firewalls/protection,....then re-downloaded and re-installed it. Still nothing.

2 things...

1. They need to better sync smoke between players. I got killed by a player who on their screen had no smoke blocking their view but I had it blocking mine.
2. Remove Instinct. In Infinite Warfare it was somewhat okay to have the ability of two RIGs being able to sense if a player is nearby or targeting them but in WWII it just does not fit and makes sneaking up on players hard when they just turn 180 degrees and kill you.

A running list of things wrong/broken with the game. So what was the point of the beta?
https://www.reddit.com/r/WWII/comments/7bi8wb/a_list_of_everything_wrong_with_ww2/

What's baffling here is the promised changes. 100 score per kill in Domination, tweaking flinch and ADS, etc. What happened? Did they just forgot about it?

My theory is they're deploying it all on a title update, but given the server issues the game is experiencing, they can't pull the trigger quite yet.

There are some issues. I can't believe none of those objective mode wins for that weekly bounty counted.

I can't believe no one at SHG thought that escorting the tank, etc. warranted any points. Like, seriously, they could have just copied Battlefield and how it handled objectives.

As I posted earlier, looks like the game is set to be the biggest CoD ever https://www.forbes.com/sites/insert...h-double-infinite-warfare-sales/#1ca3f75139a3

$500 mil in a week...

Not biggest ever. I got the press release and if it was that, that would be the headline. It's double the unit sales of IW from last year in the same timeframe, though it's not hard to do given IW was hated by a lot of people.

Weirdly enough try wireless I heard there were some issues when on LAN, don't ask, but apparently that fixes a bunch.

Why are people not voting on the maps? I'm playing on XB1 and am nearly always the only one who votes. I guess I get to always play on the map of my choice but still.

Apparently the game went gold before the beta and Sledgehammer is reluctant to implement the changes from the beta because "it's not their vision of what they wanted the game to be."

What's the source on that? It seemed like they made a lot of changes during the beta... and wasn't it available like 2/3 months ago? Games don't usually go gold that far before launch do they?

Man, this game has so much potential to be great but it's just not quite there yet. The multiplayer (at least on PC) has kind of devolved into snipers vs snipers, you just can't have 1 shot snipers on a PC game without it being upper chest/headshots only, otherwise people just won't use anything else. You can even take on SMG users by quickscoping in close range, it's pretty insane. There are also some severe lag issues with people constantly getting shot behind walls and accurate shots just completely not registering on people making it really frustrating at points.

Haven't even had a chance to play the single player much as I've reached a point in the second mission where the entire level just goes invisible, which as it turns out doesn't do too much for the whole immersion thing. I've tried reinstalling drivers and verifying the game files but nope... Nothing happens. Also tried that nazi zombies mode where I seem to get stuck in a loading screen every single time I attempt to join a match.

Overall, definitely not impressed with my experience so far. I figured I'd give CoD another try y'know, kind of like an ex-girlfriend who wants to get back together and in a moment of weakness you just go along with it, but so far it feels like I've been screwed pretty badly. Here's hoping they shove a patch out pretty quick.

Bad UI design I think people just don't even notice to vote. Or it's a bug and the vote counter doesn't work lmao. Are you always getting the maps you vote for?

Would love a quote on this -seems both plausible yet extremely unlikely. They were incredibly communicative, quickly implemented changes, and have shown flexibility throughout the process. I have plenty of nitpicks with the game, but this seems...odd?

It's something I read on Reddit. Take it with a grain of salt because they didn't post a source.

One of the beta changes was making Domination kills 100 instead of 50 points. It's back to 50 in the full version.

I played TDM about 2 hours last night. Yes there were some moments of anger but I finally realized, if you just put aside giving a damn about K/D ratios (which is hard to do, I admit), you can have fun. Die a lot in a match? Oh well. Be happy when you do well and when you don't, just move on.

I asked myself, when's the last time I investigated what someone else's K/D ratio was? Just about never. Certainly not in years. So that means no one's looking at mine, or caring about mine.

After only playing TDM for 2 hours, the best thing I can say about this game after having it for one night is, I'm not sorry I bought it. Which I take as a victory.
I can definitely see that and most likely agree, I wish I could turn it off, meaning caring about kd... But it's more or less how I gage my own performance. I enjoy where I'm at in most shooters, I can top the match and if not I'm generally in the middle and I'm good with that. I like playing a part in matches,and its why I take this a bit more personal because I know I can do better but the game just plays totally against my style.. However it seems to work for most others

It's just some people care about stats to judge their performance on and others don't. If you're not a stats guy then yea you're not gonna care much. But I love stats, it's what I enjoy with all games that have scoring whether shooters or sports titles etc.

I did not buy infinite warfare. The first COD since the original that I didn't buy.

I really enjoyed BO3. Not sure what to do about this game.

Don't think I've ever been lower than 2.0KDR in any COD, but that doesn't really matter. Just want a fun COD with good hit detection.

Might pick it up on BF if that $40 Best Buy price is correct.

So is the only way to get Carentan map is to purchase season pass?!

At the moment, yea. I'm sure they will release it later on.

How is this map, btw? Worth the season pass? I wouldn't mind another map.

contracts cost too much and also have some whack challenges. that system needs an overhaul.

I agree. I'm not going to spend 2k credits on something I know I can't complete. There should be alot more challenges than just 9. Have some variety and more realistic goals.

Why are people not voting on the maps? I'm playing on XB1 and am nearly always the only one who votes. I guess I get to always play on the map of my choice but still.

Definitely a bad UI design. It's so small and on the bottom of the screen. I didn't notice it in the beginning either.

So how yall like this game? Big fan of MW2 and BO2. Havent really any enjoyed too many next gen CODs

Despite all the problems, I've been having a great time. I didn't mind the jetpack stuff (except for AW) but I much prefer boots on the ground.

Yeah I am and it's because it ends always 1-0 to me on votes. Some of the randos I get paired with are 40+ in rank, you think they'd know how to use the voting system. Maybe it's bugged but why does it always work for me and no one else?

I'm not sure this is indicative of anything. TDM went to 100 kills in the second beta weekend, and I loathed it because matches were too long, one sided matches became even more of a prolonged nightmare, or borefest for the winning side, and there was a lot more quitting, loading into matches down 30, etc.

My point is I figured they realized this and changed it back to 75 for retail, and I'm assuming they did the same with dom to discourage not playing the objective (still all too common).

Pretty sure killcams are just a technical hack job. It would be too much data to send to each and every client, so your local machine just grabs the route taken by your killer, shows it from that rough POV and then an approximation of their gun firing on you. You dont get the exact crosshair placement that they used, it's more to show you where they were and how they shot you...not the exact aiming they did.

edit - you get a rough version of their aim but nothing really accurate, I remember a Half Life 1 mod I used back in the day modded a killcam into the Half Life 1 (essentially Quake 1) engine which amazed people, and they guy who did it expained how it all worked..im pretty sure the same principal applies, in that the majority of the work is done locally. You just cant have a p2p game sending 11 other people super accurate killcams every few seconds. Pardon the long post.
Yup. They're always a rough recreation. That's why I never understood people who screech about killcams.

yup I don't even waste my time with them. How are you supposed to get 55 kills in a war match, especially when you attack. I know it's possible but everything needs to align properly because you only get one chance, and the odds of that happening don't seem worth the risk.

Getting 130 kills in 40 minutes is absolutely challenging and would probably require playing a game mode where action is higher in intensity than TDM where the pace can be slower. That's what 3.25 kills per minute? I could pull that in previous CoDs when I was dialed in, but consistently doing that for 40 minutes is super rough for even good players, especially when you'll likely have BS connection issues at least once in that 40 minutes, all but making it impossible to stay on pace.

And yes LOL at some of these contracts costing 1300 in currency when the reward is still just a rare supply drop. I've hardly spent much through rank 50 and currently have probably 1300 total in the bank. I can't fathom putting it up to potentially get a rare supply drop.

Yeah I am and it's because it ends always 1-0 to me on votes. Some of the randos I get paired with are 40+ in rank, you think they'd know how to use the voting system. Maybe it's bugged but why does it always work for me and no one else?

I'm pretty sure people just don't notice it because of how obscure it is. I know about it but STILL do not vote or even notice the map vote the majority of the time. Additionally there is so much more to do between matches now and people are likely caught up messing with divisions, checking orders, buying contracts, running around in HQ, etc. And finally I think part of it is having minimal time between matches to do that stuff because you spend so long loading in or stuck staring at the post game screens.

The "Condrey knows best" seems to be hearsay (as far as I can tell, no actual tweet, etc.) Bu the game being in beta state seems to be legit. Domination score was supposed to be changed to 100 per kill, ADS was supposed to be faster, flinch lessened, etc. These are stuff SGH said it will implement in the game but never did in the final product (what we have now).

Not saying they won't ever, but they should at the very least, address complaints and stuff. The lack of communication is the worst part. Reddit for WWII has become a complaint board and no one from SHG has even acknowledged any of it -- and they were very vocal on stuff before release there too.

That's my biggest complaint -- at least communicate with us. They're doing the same thing Bungie does. They'll not talk to us about what they're doing at all and then the community will get more pissed and more toxic and they'll talk even less as a result.

It's a shitty cycle they can avoid by just getting in front of it now and telling us what they're actually doing.

I loved the original one, but no idea how the remake is... It wasn't that great in COD 4 (also remake), but here in more slow paced game it should be good. I will not pay anything above $5 for a map out of principle. Kind of ridiculous they locked it behind season pass...
