Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 (2022)

SBMM is really starting to sap all my enjoyment away. It all starts easy then an hour later It's close to impossible.

Can't wait for tier 1 and shoot house, will feel like the odds more even despite SBMM.

Shoot house is coming back??

Shoot the ship was my go to on mw2019
 
Season 1 is a bit rubbish. We get 2 recycled maps (Shipment and Shoot House). I can't stand Shipment. Why can't they add one of the other 50+ maps IW have at their disposal?
Also they actually put in their blog post that they're kindly giving us Hardcore( I'm not calling it Tier 1 :rolleyes:) and the Combat Record. Something that should be included from launch.

I feel the same. The ttk in standard mode is terrible for a lot of guns so everyone just carries meta loadouts

Yeah we are on the 16th. (Both maps)

Shipment I can take or leave (they have altered it slightly to stop the corner side to side sight lines) but I love shoot house.

Other than a handful of times I didn't bother with normal modes on MW2019 as I've never got along with everything normal brings, it's not been too bad this time but I just can't have a chill night.. it starts chill and just as I'm warming up I'm in lobbies with jump shot hero's and I'm stressing within 15 minutes.. It's like there is no middle ground or it at least feels that way.

Any tips for getting the weapons level quicker ?
A lot of people throw out decoy grenades as the xp you get goes towards the weapon you're holding. Also holding capture points works this way too I think, so play Domination or Hardpoint. If you're starting a weapon at zero you can also go into Invasion and shoot all the easier to kill bots to get quicker xp. Just be aware that shooting the bots doesn't go towards the camo challenges, you need to kill real players to get those.
 
Had a good play at the weekend and the aim assist is really starting to grate. Its the first time I've felt at a disadvantage using kb&m.
 
Has anyone tried the 3rd person mode? Is it available in the non-respawn game modes? Seen a couple of videos online of it working in normal team deathmatch and apparently it plays a lot like SOCOM which I loved.

As someone who's plays both you are not at a disadvantage lol. A good controller player will compete well with an average KB&M player and a good KB&M player should demolish a controller lobby.

If you KD is above 1 you are above average part of the problem when it comes to people feeling like they die more than they kill.

Who started this nonsense?

I'm not sure but yeah it's bull imo, I played KB&M for 15 years and controller on consoles for a good 10 years now.

Aim assist helps but it's not exactly aim bot, A half decent KB&M player should walk over most controller players, it feels like they are almost impossible when going toe to toe and you have to out think them when using a controller.

I’ve double dipped the last 3 games on PC and console (MW2019, Cold War & Vanguard).

There is definitely something going on in crossplay lobbies in my opinion. For me, having been a KBM player for many years playing twitch shooters and suchlike, CoD has felt off whenever I’m on PC in a crossplay lobby. It’s like they are delaying data packets so you have less time to react when playing in a lobby with predominantly console players.

Many people are interpreting this as an auto aim thing but to me it’s felt more like a net code issue. By that I mean that PC players are getting nerfed in an attempt to level the playing field a bit. Don’t get me wrong, I know there’s some good pad players out there but in most normal circumstances even an average KBM player will convincingly beat a good pad player.

Strangely when I disable crossplay and play PC only lobbies, I don’t see the same phenomenon of this really weird delay.

Likewise I don’t have the same problem in console only lobbies when I play on console.

I know what I’m capable of using KBM and I perform much better in PC only lobbies but I have struggled in crossplay lobbies and have had so many WTF moments it’s untrue. Can it be coincidence?

Having had it for 3 games now, I just can’t shake the feeling that something is amiss, at least on my PC anyway. Maybe a routing issue? Not sure but it feels all wrong whatever the cause!

Strange, you might be onto something.

Not great if it is something along those lines, I'm stuck on controller these days (don't even own a PC you could game on) always turn cross play off, we did have a PC gamer in our squad the other day so had it turned on and we held our own for some games but it all went down hill lol
 
PC players complaining that they don't have a big enough advantage anymore because of aim assist, whatever next.

Very few people disable crossplay, so when you disable it you can only be matched with a tiny pool of players who have also disabled it on your platform. That means SBMM can't work anywhere near as well as when you leave crossplay enabled. The reason you feel like you have less time to react in crossplay lobbies is likely because SBMM can more effectively match you with better players.

That is an interesting point. I can see that could be the case on PC / Xbox, particularly with MW2 kind of locking it out, but previous titles have had the option to disable.

Judging by the number of articles and general outrage on popular platforms, removing the option to disable crossplay on PC/Xbox has got many, many people apaplectic! So perhaps the numbers of non-crossplay players in past games is not as low as you suggest?

I’m not sure the pool of non-crossplay players is that small on PlayStation either.

Is there any way to find out how many players are crossplay vs non-crossplay? My cursory internet search was filled with rage content about the option to disable being removed from PC/Xbox,lol :p
 
Wow veteran campaign is a grind. Zero warning most the time just insta death. That tank mission is doing my head in

Especially as the body armour guys seem to just walk straight through walls. Buggy !
