Yeah it does. Which I why I like to call it TeDiuM. I can'ty wait til the actual game is out and I can play Kill Confirmed.

Played a few hours last couple of days and despite some good visuals, mechanics and gunplay, I actually think the game as a whole is a very bland, mentally and physically draining and an overly frustrating experience with some very questionable design decisions that just doesn't provide much fun in return. COD betas are usually the honeymoon phase where everything feels fresh, exciting and the servers given are of the highest tick rate but here it just feels like we've played it all before, with the same old problems only this time with a diabolical connection and iffy hit detection. I've turned off motion blur, film grain, bloom and all the other shitty needless effects and still I'm being blinded by all these bullet effects and gunsmoke. Sometimes I can't even see who I'm shooting at because of it and it's made even worse if the enemies are blending in with the scenery. The biggest newfound complaint I've realised with this and it's nothing new but more prominent than ever here, is that this game rewards bad players who play safe and pedestrian. Others that press and play as intended are actually at risk of having a bad game. There's just not enough counters to passive players and those who are mobile are relentlessly punished. I've also tried Ground War and it's an absolute shambles of a design - they think making a big map and planting a load of buildings and capture points instantly makes an appropriate game mode when it is just a cluttered mess where there's no flow and 90% of the lobby don't know what they are doing. Third person mode is also quite clunky and could very well join the usual Christmas playlist exodus. I may very well just sit this out like I did with Vanguard. Two years is a long time for this game to remain but as it stands, I think I may be better off well out of it. So many better games out there.

This is where I’m at too I think, I want to love it as gunplay is excellent and has a real punch to engagements, however, as you say it’s exhausting to play the game, after 2/3 games I’m done I had to push myself to continue playing to get to level 30 for the rewards, but in the full game I think I’d just turn it off! in MP I do tend to rush and push yet like you say this play style (for me at least) is punished severely by people just mounting corners and killing you instantly, I have no idea how streamers play aggressively because I can’t do anything against people pre aiming corners, the amount of kill cams I watch and people are tracking me perfectly through the wall as well just makes me question if it’s hackers or simply the audio. I’ve never been left this underwhelmed by a CoD beta i did also spend the afternoon on ground war but the maps just don’t have the flow like they did in MW19, these buildings have way too many dead end rooms in them and too much detail you get lost in the rabbit warren that is the interiors

Yeah KC is my go-to gamemode. Dom might not be too bad seems ok in this demo but all the other fluff gamemodes nah they can keep that shit. Had to laugh at these videos yesterday

Well, we do make literally any game playable and fun because of this - and I would agree that Tom's probably going to inhibit your sound whoring for life 😅 I'd agree with this so far. I saw something and I agree completely that I think the TTK is slightly too fast and that doesn't help TDM at all. Well, I'm glad that means you are enjoying a ton of it though before the SBMM?! 😅 I'm actually finding i'm doing really well with a positive KD more so every other game at the least which surprises me. I think TDM needs way more co-ordination in a team to take on the sweats already that take the top quality head glitch spots. It does feel really solid, one of the best Beta experiences I've had - and i'm not trying to defend it either ( @techno 😉), its just been a decent experience for me and it feels like it could easily keep in the game wanting to level up guns and get attachments. The 74U Assault Rifle probably helps me make that call so far, as its unreal without any attachments at all.

Episode 12 is live on Youtube and Spotify! Lets talk about twitch and the bullshit they're pulling on streamers shall we? Plus, some other gaming news!

This sums up my experience of the beta. I like to rush around sitting in corners and playing "tactically" bores me to death. I watched a blame truth video where he was playing cold war, my first thought was look how much better the maps and visibility is, all this " realism " might look good but it's awful in cod. Then there's the gunfights, it could be lag etc but they just seem so random, one second youre melting people the next you just insta die and the kill cam doesn't seem to fit what you just saw. I wonder how many people will buy this game simply because it says cod on the box.

Modern Warfare II Beta PC

@J4MES OX4D I watched this video on Drill Charge Lethal Equipment from Xclusive Ace of course. Absolutely brilliant, probably the best anti-camper tool I've ever seen! Going to start running it on my classes. 😂

Like @GazzaGarrattI wasn't sure but now I saw CDL intel post on twitter 😂 wtf

Holy ****…this game is even worse today connection wise. No bullet registration at all in ground war yet I’m dead before I even know whats happening. I am 90% bordering on not even bothering with CoD anymore at this rate if the full game is going to be like this, I thought GW would be the saviour but it’s even worse than core game modes

I love Kill Confirmed, been one of my favourites since it appeared in MW3. Domination is my other favourite. Kinda rough playing solo tho sometimes, especially if the other team has a party of 3 or more and they are competent about objective play.

Thats exactly what i'm talking about....but it never stopped me being a dick and continually tryng to get him and feed his kilstreak. Got him in the end though which was clearly the moral of the story and not his SAE from my deaths 🙃 I'm so dumb....I don't see or hear what i'm looking for! lol Not tried it yet but some in the beta like TDM aren't great because theres too many restrictions atm being this is a beta. We did really enjoy the Hostage Gamemode though! Seemed like something different to play where you don't just kill the team, keeping them alive and trying to get extra points from getting Hostages back is a really good idea. Cyber Attack with a difference and could see it being one of our favourite game modes to play going forward.

Tried Invasion last night - complete waste of time. Was playing on this really long 3 lane map and the match was filled with bots just standing still or even facing the wrong way. Don't know why they bother introducing modes that will be dead a week after release. Boring experience in all honesty. I also hate how the unlock screen is presented like a battle pass to be trendy - just give me a fucking grid of my unlocks immediately instead of some needlessly flashy screen. Challenges still overlap the lobby list which is so dumb.

Look at this absolute bullshit. Activating the DS Field Upgrade makes a noise that gives away your position.! Seems IW really hate players trying to be stealthy in this game.

@GazzaGarratt. When you talk about the sweats taking the top quality head glitch spots, I hope your on about the infamous "Marble Desk" 😂 OMG that guy was an absolute wanker, he got me at least twice. I forgot he was still there after the first death to him! It was a good 2 minutes after I went back and wiped out 2 of his teamates, and he was still there ffs! The AK74u is bitching even without attachments. The gun is probably OP with attachments. Still confuses me that it's an Assault Rifle, I always thought it was an SMG. I tried the Fennec as well. It's pretty good up close, but you can't equip attachments on it either making it not very viable unless you overkill and have another gun ready. I really enjoyed playing some of this Beta with FG'ers, even if I got wrecked and Lee kept getting all the best plays. Not a fan of that Musuem map, it's still better than MW19's Picadily and Azhir Caves. 🤢

Sounds truly awesome, Doc. Looking forward already to hearing about the next escapade with the wife.

Will do. We'll probably be traveling more often since we don't have to work around my son's school schedule any more (he graduated and is likely off to the US Coast Guard early next year) and I'm making more money thanks to promotion and overtime availability.

I don’t know if my experience is due to SBMM or the fact it’s a beta and limited player numbers but this tweet is it https://twitter.com/drdisrespect/status/1573702790802599938?s=46&t=6WuKSXtIdvEB4x2Cjj74UA

A few more games later and boy I had to turn it off, this is a very enjoyable game ruined by things that cannot be changed, the people that play it. It’s just become too hyper aggressive and people with nano second reactions snapping to you instantly and you die without chance to shoot back. the SBMM (I can’t believe they even have this in a beta FFS) is waaaay to strong nowadays you are punished for even any semblance of doing well. i can’t believe they’ve taken a franchise I would gladly spend 7+ hours playing and made it into something you are sick of playing after 1 hour. When the game works (connection wise) it’s joyous, but sadly, with this beta, that time seems like every 2/10 games, the other 8 are all horrific and I’m up against people that kill me instantly and are seemingly CDL level opponents I am still buying it because I hope in my heart that it’s like MW19 and Ground War is the saviour of the game, that mode was amazing and I enjoyed it a lot in MW19, I just want them to add the damn mode to the beta like they said they would

England relegated from the Nations League meaning we’ll be playing Ibiza and Jersey next time😂 5 games without a win, haven’t scored from open play in 7 hours and our worst run in 22 years - just under 3 months from the World Cup! Harry Kane cannot run the line solo - he spends most of the game chasing shadows and getting knackered. If it wasn’t for the hair and branding, Grealish would still be a championship player and Phil Foden along with many other top club players are completely ineffective at international level. We seem to have no strategy or proven lineup now and it’s getting very concerning. Can’t score, struggle to create and players supposedly valued at £100m+ getting rings run round by 35 year olds or ones barely turned professional. It’s absolutely diabolical quality of football and it’s just so clear as day what needs to be tweaked in terms of the system and lineup.

You might of pumped his mother. The spawn of James is a hacker. We should call you Daddy Hacker!

Fixed that for ya James 😉😎
