Season Two - CoD MW Update

[J4MES OX4D 10,034]

Rust returns

Can't wait to see the fuck up they make remaking Rust. There has to be something they do that totally ruins the map and I can't wait to see what it is. They'll probably add a few doors somewhere for starters and I guess we'll see a few new headglitching spots.

Added season 2 patch notes and roadmap

Both Rust and Shipment are party maps for me. Like Lee's favourite saying: shits and giggles

I saw a few different videos, UMP is coming back boys!

 

But yeah rust with doors and windows. Oh Gawd dawg........

I used to LOVE the UMP back in the day!

How does Rust play these days? Seems like they've added more cover in places and the outskirts of the map has more structures which make it harder to spot players at range.

The one game I played on it last night lasted about 1 minute before I left. We were just spawn trapped in one corner and literally never got to move out of the corner. The other team were camping all around and above and as soon as you moved you got killed. It plays exactly like I thought it would: A complete fucking nightmare. IW had so many good maps to choose from and they chose that shit house of a map.

My vitiol in my other post aside, I’ll give it another go of two to properly judge though I’m not hopeful.

 

I’d also like to try it in free for all as that was how I mostly played it in mw2.

[Greboth 2,721]

I hadn’t realised there had been perk changes too.  I’ll have to check them out as reading that suggests you now can’t run ghost and overkill as they’re in the same perk.

Considering you can spawn trap and kill on even the massive maps in MW, it doesn't surprise me this one is a nightmare. Rust in MW2 worked fairly well and users always had some form of spawn protection and trapping was rare - at worst you die to a random nade but otherwise even with someone on the top of the structure, it was so rare to be spawnkilled. 

 

They could've chosen High Rise, Afghan, Terminal, Sub Base and Scrapyard but they go for the fad maps which are only good to escape the exhausting big ones and for quickfire fun now and then.  They'll probably release Free Fall from Ghosts next..

 

Also well done to Lee for expanding my original post with all the confirmed details!

Did anyone register Forever Gaming as a Regiment? Tried last night but it said it has been used already.

[IRaMPaGe 3,236]

I have played some rust, it is harder to see the enemies in the distance at times. Especially if they are mounting around a corner while being mostly out of sight, headglitching noobs!!

 

The map is slightly bigger, had a few average or bad games. Also a few good games.

The top is fucking OP. I was struggling or doing mediocre during a game, had switched to an LMG class with a launcher to take out enemy air support. After I shot down a VTOL, I decided to go up top for the remainder of the 2 minutes left and got an easy merciless and had my own VTOL out.

 

It's just disgusting up there, the advantage is just too OP. That's if you keep moving, reloading safe and replenish with ammo crates. If you stick to 1 corner perch they will no doubt get you!

Rust plays exactly like Rust did before. Spawns suck. Still a good paced map. Whoever controls the town typically wins  

[GazzaGarratt 11,049]

Found Rust to be pretty alright for something new to play. People like @Middle Class Caveman  have noticed that the FPS seems to drop at the top of the map for no reason at all. I kinda hold the middle of the map so you can pick people off around the edge. Its a high kill map which is always more fun in my eyes (unless i'm getting killed the most obvs).

Yeah the FPS suck on the top level of the tower. Is easy to notice it, if the enemy has map control I see a lot of spawn trapping on the A flag domination side. That right hand corner of the map, you will just spawn and get poached over and over. 😠
