Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 (2022)

[Greboth]

Had to read up what 'SBMM' was after seeing it here - from what I could gather, it matches you with players of your skill level; surely that's a good thing though, as you don't just end up lording it up over lesser skilled players and always get a challenge?

That depends on if you want to play run and gun CoD or Rainbow 6 Seige. With SBMM, every match becomes a case of you have to play your best else you'll get stomped. So you have to play the game more tactically and slower whether you want to or not. Not to mention the fluctuating matches that if you have a few good games in a row, you know you'll end up in a higher skilled lobby for a few matches where you still get stomped. Until your hidden "skill" drops enough to be put back into a better lobby but win a few in a row again then rinse and repeat.

The biggest thing for me with SBMM though is games (including CoD) used to and many still do give you separate playlists for normal and competitive.

Oh great, content packs.

Loadout locked and some operators unlocked are now relocked, wtf!

Can't decide between getting this on PC or PS5. Don't have any friends getting it. Got a 2070super PC.

Same, quit the game for 30 minutes and just came back and now it's like that.

Yeah was fine this morning then loaded up again and all locked.

ranking up then quitting the game seemed to fix it for me

Is it just me, or is the UI abysmal on this?

@dannyjo22 @Soulja @Wyrdo What console are you all playing on nowadays?

It's a mess. There also seems to be a bunch of stuff missing, I'll just paste this from a post I was just reading on reddit as it sums it up.

There's no personal Barracks/Medals/Stats....no Challenges, you know to earn calling cards....NO HARDCORE MODE? Did they ditch all that? Is any of this planned at all?

@dannyjo22 @Soulja @Wyrdo What console are you all playing on nowadays?

Xbox here. I think Soulja is on Dreamcast and Danny is on a ZX Spectrum

This does have cross play, not that I have any idea how you'd go about doing that.

Dreamcast ftw! You go into your account on the console I believe and you can turn it on and off.

Eggbox mainly

All the showcase stuff is borked as well

You can select calling card, emblem, operator all that jazz but it doesn’t save or work properly

 

[beachBOYken]

I created a thread eleswhere on this but how the hell do you unlock the slim line pro sight attachment for the m4?

It’s a bit of a mystery. Lol

 

[BuffetSlayer]

Crikey, was gonna get this ready to play over the weekend but it sounds like there are some teething issues?

Also, Dreamcast FTW. One of the best consoles ever! FPS shooters with mouse
and keyboard on a console? The DC was doing this over 20 years ago!

Is there a way to disable voice chat? I find it highly annoying listening to people talk.

Edit: On Xbox Series X.

you can just mute all on the scoreboard. I've been playing it tonight, quick playing either dm or tdm, really enjoying it. The menu ui is pretty bad though.

 

[Soulja]

Played a few games of domination and I quite enjoyed it. Its definitely slower paced compared to previous cods and the 3 maps I played were actually decent. I'm just waiting for the SBMM to kick in and then I'll go back to hating cod for another year!

 

[biron_w]

No way to disable crossplay? Or maybe I'm just blind

You can on Playstation but not Xbox.

 

[MOOGLEYS]

On Xbox you can disable Crossplay in the Xbox system settings if I remember. Will apply to everything though.
