Seems that season 1 is a total shit show. 

They've made changes for Warzone but because they're utterly fucking useless and can't keep normal MP and Warzone as separate entities then any changes for one affects the other. They've made footsteps LOUDER as it makes sense in Warzone but it also means they're super loud now in MP. Basically how they were at the start of the beta. Also the noise Dead Silence makes when you activate it is really loud again. 

 

Also Tier 1 isn't proper Hardcore. There is no HUD *at all*. No kill feed or anything. And apparently you can't even use streaks if they require your character to bring up a tablet. 

 

It's quite astounding just how utterly shite IW are at making things work properly. 

Saw blametruth tweet about footsteps and dead silence etc and this from xclusive ace.

 

But great game 🤣

I have only just bought Modern Warfare 2 so I might be a bit late to the party but, I really enjoyed getting on with a few of you guys @GazzaGarratt @Greboth@Macca89  and having a laugh. Seems to be quite a solid game, getting used to the guns and stuff but all seems to be quite similar to the previous MW. 

 

Will have to give the new Warzone a shot soon as well, so looking forward to that 🙂

They've 'fixed' the killcam weapon pictures - instead of it being a placeholder drawing, they are now using simple gun icons. There is no reason why they can't also add the attachment list on the right even if it doesn't appear as seen in the picture itself. Of course, the community has to spoonfeed obvious things like this back to the devs when it should really be set in stone

Also not keen on the killcam presentation - what the hell is that Tanto shite? Looks like a Camcorder from 2003.

@MrBiron just seen this 😁

The footstep audio in Warzone is absolutely nuts too. Looks like they’ve brought MP in-line with that. We’re back to where we were in the beta with this - it’s footstep 1.0

As I said above they can't do different values for Warzone and MP. So if they change footsteps for one then it changes for the other. Why they can't change it for both is a mystery. Just incompetence.

Everyone on Reddit are saying they are much quieter than MP that it seems like they have them mixed up

That honestly wouldn't surprise me one bit.

The presentation is basic on purpose perhaps J4MES. 😈

Not noticed it yet, but I would always expect Warzone to have louder footsteps. Not noticed much footsteps difference so far in MP. More actual weird lag spikes though. Hoping its just early days after the big patch.

Anybody tried DMZ yet? Seems that it's a pretty chilled mode where you can rank up your character and weapons without having to deal with other players. I'm going to try it this weekend if anybody wants to join me.

I did. It's not bad. Beware however there are other players and they may try to kill you and your team to loot your stuff. One team can driving down one of our match and tried to get us. My team mate managed to kill them all so we teabagge them and stole their shit in proximity chat.  I think you can have up to 64 real players in the game

 

I would recommend that you put your best weapon in the insured slot (it can be changed later as long as you are not in cool down) and spawn in with only that weapon. Then pick up another one. I have been using the SP-208 with silencer. It is a one shot one kill wonder. 

 

Have a silencer on because the AI can hear shots. You got 30 minutes to get your shit done and then extract. Watch for campers on exfil 

 

Stay away from the chemist unless you have a real organized competent team

You can do that solo in 1 minute - just get a car, run him over, grab the gear, drive around until extraction arrives and then it's done. EZ cheese. 

[TigerBurge 2,375]

Oh look it was a bug. 

[Diddums 4,336]

So then, things I'd change.

 

Get rid of the decoy grenades, or at least prevent team mates from hearing them. Also get rid of the stupid blow up doll too.

 

Killstreaks feel weak as fuck, I see chopper gunners rarely get more than 5 kills, and the Harrier is also piss. The heli isn't that bad but the constantly spotting thing is irritating. 

 

Fix the perks, this bullshit of having my class gimped until halfway through the game is frustrating as fuck. I'm levelling a launcher and not having fast hands / overclock until later on is bloody irritating.

 

Force players to play the objective. I'd say that 90% of my losses in Dom are due to dumb fuck team mates who never PTFO. Maybe give them a luminous pink camo and make them blip on the map constantly like a UAV. This absolutely drives me mental.

 

The border crossing map is crap, get rid of it. You also can't shoot the civilians that are running away either which is disappointing, but then I'd also be running and screaming if someone pulled up in a fucking Ford Escort.

Use the Sentry gun. At the right spot it seems the most lethal. 

 

As for PTFO I agree. I would like them to increase the score in the scorestreak.  Cap 1 flag, 100,  2 150, 3 200, 4 250    or something like that.

Or give streaks that are only available by playing the ojective

 

The border map is what better than fortress or Asylum in my opinion. Fighting for B flag can get pretty intense on DOM

I faced a full team using decoy grenades on Taraq - it was pure hell. I'd also drop objective mode kill points to 10xp and upping objective points instead. I play Hardpoint and have 2+ minutes on the objective with 7500-odd points and then the next best player has about 13 seconds going 30-27. I also played against a poor guy with 17 DOM captures on Shoothouse yesterday and the other players between one and two. I just don't get how players can play 10 minutes in a match and not even stumble into the objective by accident.

I know that. I am said "give streaks that are only available by playing the objective". In otherwords kills and assists and other points don't count. The only way to get the streak is to cap or pickup tags for example.

Finally got around to playing  some COD this evening. 

 

Four hours went by in a flash.

 

It seems I'm massively addicted to the DMZ mode.

 

Absolutely love it.

Good to hear your enjoying the game Phil, still not tried the DMZ mode. Not really my thing, the M13 is a bit of a lure tho. 

Will have to play it eventually.  🙂

How would you know its not your thing if you've not tried it? 

Have a go sunshine, it might make your day. Ok it might not 😅

If you thought that Border Crossing or Taraq are bad in Core then you definitely don't wanna play them in Hardcore. They're absolutely awful.
