Nothing. Just save your crates unless you really like calling cards and pistol grips. Since new supply drop exclusive weapons are coming for sure at some point.
Maaaan, why didnt I think of doing this sooner???

What sensitivity are you console boiz playing at? The default (Medium/4) feels a tiny bit too fast at times but 3 is just too slow for movement. I swear it feels different than past games; I think I used 6 in IW.
Im playing on 8.

I've just about had enough of this stupid fucking matchmaking. I get into full lobbies easy and no timer ever appears and everyone leaves.

This shit is infuriating.

It's kind of incredible how poor this launch has been. Initially I was getting into matches quickly, and they were running on dedicated servers, now it's taking 10mins+ and it's all obviously peer-to-peer.

It's seriously like night and day when you play P2P vs Dedicated. If they can get it to a state where you play on dedis 99% the time then the MP could be my favourite yet.

Is this true? That would explain a LOT with the connections feeling legit the first day and last night feeling way behind everybody.

Dude, it was snappy on the PC this past weekend. But today its horrible. I'm hard scoping looking at the corner and still lose the gunfight at times to an SMG from mid-range and when I see the kill cam I didn't fire the shot at all till I was dead. It wasn't like that this past weekend.

Yea the maps are pretty rough.

Flak is definitely my favorite next to London docks. Oh the other thing that's hilarious is how my care packages have either landed outside of the area or above me on something you can't reach. Happened a handful of times now.

I am such a mixed bag with this game. I enjoy it but then I'm like what am I doing here lol

I just wish it felt a little more higher quality of a game, some of these animations are like what in the hell

And not to mention that part of it is still broken. Namely, the HQ and supply drop rewards from leveling up. It's definitely fun it spurts, but overall my impressions right now are that it is pretty average in most respects (outright poor in others) and is more geared towards pay-to-win than ever. Or rather, pay for rewards that are mostly shit anyway.

On the rooftop map I jacked two enemy care packages after wiping out their spawn forcing them to the other side. I don't think I've ever jacked two care packages like that before.

That's....not how it works.
And even when games themselves have P2P networking for the matches, the matchmaking itself is done on dedicated servers. Infact I can't think of a modern game that does not do that.

So if it's an issue with matchmaking then it's because something's up with Activision's servers which in reality are probably Google/Amazon servers rented out by Activision.

Really hated the multiplayer beta which convinced me not to buy this. However, I'm picking up my XBOX tonight and need something visually breathtaking to play.

Is the Zombies Mode worth it alone to buy this game?
Can't comment on the zombies, but if you need something visually breathtaking

This
Isn't

Get AC Origins instead

This took three years to make. 9 maps, 3 war maps, one zombie map, and a 6 hour campaign. Three years.

I mean again lack of understanding how game development works. You got engine changes, you have to make all new assets, and all of that shit. You know how long it actually takes to make a 6 hour campaign? A lot more than you may think it does. Then you got AI and all of that other shit. Then you have testing. Then you also probably develop and work on maps that may or may not even make it into the game due to either time constraints or simply never feels good to play on. There are so many factors that go into it and simply saying: "Well they had Three years!" Is laughable.

Exactly my point. Their dedicated servers have been hit hard which is why matchmaking is taking a long time and games are being played P2P.

I will say the game is very generous when it comes to getting epics from supply drops.

Other than crafting the Waffee 28 - Trigger Happy.

I've gotten from drops.

Heroic SVT-40 - OSA II
Heroic US Shovel - Flash II
Epic STG - Red Baron
Epic M1 Bazooka - Vulcan
Epic P-08 - Der Adler

I also enjoy the USS Texas map lol, the lanes on the side are kinda long yes but i enjoy the chaos going on below the deck. The only map i really dislike is Gustav Cannon, now that is a horrible map.

Great for sniping though, there hasn't been a map like that in the last few cods.

LOL, that is all it is good for. One team is camping on top of the cannon, while the other is hiding in or around barns. As the rest of the map is a wide open field for the most part that makes you a sitting duck if you move around too much. It needs more balance and pathways.

It's amazing how it goes from fun to just all out complete and utter beat down. Like as if I never touched a game in my life.

Yeah it feels like a combination of the terrible matchmaking and shitty netcode. One game I'm on beast mode, then next I can barely do anything. Random Prestige players mixed in with level 2s and so on. Hopefully some of that gets ironed out in patches. Maybe the ranked mode will help get into more fair matches too.

Glad to see I'm not alone. See I think what gets me so fired up is this perception people like to throw out there that this series is easy, as if people can play it blind folded and get 20 to 30 kills..

I feel like I'm against the world's best players sometimes. Some of the shit that happens in these matches are so unbelievable its like why even try. But then I stop and think how I'm fine in other games, that's why I just am determined to become at least a told 1.5 to 2 per match kind of guy

Yea I snipe more now than I used to (MW2 was pretty much hold sprint silenced UMP rushing lol) so that's probably why I don't mind Gustav whereas I absolutely fucking hated Derail.

And I just checked the season pass price LOL. For 50 bucks they better be adding like 15 damn maps.

Yea lol was gonna say the same... This is definitely not visually breathtaking

Really?! Campaign even? I think the campaign was so fucking beautiful on Ps4 Pro. Thinking about picking it up on the X to see it get even better. I was JUST telling two buddies I thought it was one of the more beautiful looking games released this year (and I've played a lot)

It looks pretty good, but there is nothing special about it. It's in the upper percentile for graphics though, but compared to something like Horizon or Star Wars Battlefront II it still falls short.

They usually do 4 maps and a zombies map, might do 3 MP 1 War and 1 Zombies map this time though.

It's decent but as said above there are better games.. Imho dice makes one hell of a good looking game thru and thru.

Also I just love how many matches start and there are guys with like 6 kills in 10 seconds. Why aren't these type of cyborgs in their own realm of madness playing each other?

I'm surprised at how rough the servers have been the past couple of days. Usually CoD launches are pretty smooth.

It's kind of hilarious how their vaunted social space is now just one guy running around in it. No seeing loot crates opened. No shooting with randoms on the range. No emote spam.

Really in the mood for some CoD over the holidays. Trying to decide if I should pick up this or just buy the season pass for Black Ops 3 lol

What's the general consensus on the multiplayer here? A good return to boots on the ground? Better off just playing MWR?

Or just cross my fingers for MW2 becoming backwards compatible?

Can anyone else come up with an actual OT, even if it's not as detailed. Basic info on the game and such would be good. I have PM'd the original OP and still nothing has been updated.

If someone wants to task this, please PM me. Thanks!

Pistol grips are about the dumbest things you could make the cornerstone of your loot system. You can't even really see them in game since your character's hand is blocking them. It's completely stupid.

What do people think about the Carentan map? Is it worth investing in the Season Pass early for it?

Have they completely borked the netcode? The game was playing fine a couple of days ago (when I could actually get into a lobby)...seems like now I'm witnessing bullshit killcams with my hit markers not registering.

Doing great now in the past few hours. No dying behind walls. No one doing phantom "I can see the future" shot's when I am turning a corner while hardscoping. When I get outplayed now, it makes sense. Now I know what hours to play. Because I am no longer matching up with South American players or Australians. No more getting 4 hit markers with the M1. Is snapping again. And man having the Type 100 in the Infantry Class is sexy as hell.

Gameplay of me rocking it with the following attachments. Quickdraw, Rapid Fire, Long Barrel and FMJ.
