The website that used to run the main place to get squad battles and create tournaments for fun and cash against other teams all around the world is shutting down 15th Jan 2024. The FAQs have this reason stating why its closing: Activision Blizzard is planning to sunset and no longer host the GameBattles platform. The company is committed to providing account holders the opportunity to transact any balance through pay-to-enter competitions and micro-transactions before January 15th, 2024. Thank you to the GameBattles community for your loyalty. I didn't think it was a big thing these days as much as it was back in the old CoD era, and with pop-up communities that can run tournaments on discord, or other templated websites at ease, it probably would struggle going on its own without Acti Bliz support on their platform. I remember us trying to do it for Rainbow 6 Siege when we were playing it regularly but it never ended up being anything here.

An interesting video from Ace talking about the AMA. Sledgehammer claim they'll look into disbanding lobbies. I'm pretty sure IW said the same about MW2 and nothing happened. Sledgehammer have said that they and Demonware are looking at desync between players which is what is causing you to seemingly die in just one bullet. I had massive issues with this last night (Tuesday) and I turned the game off because of it. I had 4 or 5 games where I couldn't kill anybody and I was dead as soon as somebody appeared on my screen without any chance of reacting to them. They're tweaking Ghost because at the right now it stops working the second you stop moving rather than giving you a couple of seconds before deactivating. I'm personally happy about this as it's annoying that you can't stop to reload or whatever before you show on the mini map.

Haha, well you want to bolt to their side at the start and always try be somewhere they don't expect. In their spawn. Get chased, run into a building and leap out a window and back to catch them from behind. Use stuns, flashes on groups. Slide and climb and dart about a lot. You have to close the distance so you can maximise your short range. Stay away from big open spaces and headglitches etc.

Tactical? What is this? I just run around like a madman 🤪

Well if your Knifing on those 2 maps your a madman. I assume you didn't mean it like that, just couldn't help myself. 😛 Although I've not knifed yet in this cod, it's always a challenge. You have to play a certain way. It's a lot of flanking, you have to go fast and slow. You have to be tactical about it.

Most of the post launch maps are going to be brand new 🤯 From my experience Sledgehammer are generally pretty good at making maps. Much better than IW are.

Map update: Estate and Wasteland can get in the bin. Hate them. I tried copying @Luseth and his knife escapades. I didn't do as well but it was fun.

To get the Forged camo. You have to destroy betty's and claymore's. Not many people are running those. So it was a grind for sure. Ran engineering class for awhile.
