Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare / Warzone (Battlenet ID's in OP)

I haven't played a Call of Duty games for well over a decade, in fact the 2005 Call of Duty 2 was the last CoD I played! That was a great game.

It seems Modern Warfare 2 is hugely popular, 7th most played on Steam. This surprised me as it's £50 compared with *free* for Battleground or Counterstrike. What's so good about MW2 that makes a lot of folk spend good money on it?
 
I find the gunplay in COD very satisfying for some reason, more so than other shooters.

Can’t get into Warzone 2 though, it’s mind numbing with randoms.

Does the steam most played rankings not include those playing just WZ2 as that element is free?

I found similar with battlefield 1. That ting sound when you got a headshot was just so satisfying.

Imagine how quickly it would be to unlock guns if we only had to shoot ai players. DMZ would be the place to go right

I'm finding both Tier 1 and Invasion incredibly slow and tedious for longshot grinding. Going to take a break from the road to Orion until Shoot House returns.

I play hardpoint to unlock my guns. It might not be the fastest but I get 8k a round normally and at least there is an objective that you can fight for and win with some satisfaction instead of just running around like a crazy person trying to shoot as many people as possible
 
I played a game yesterday in a random mini royale trios. All of us were using game chat
It made me realise how bad me and my friends play as a team.

We dropped into Mazra city and looted, immediately enemy were being tagged and someone called "we have two teams dropping in with us" then "you have one trailing you"
I turned around and killed the guy trailing me as got a couple shots in before he landed"
Then looted and I split money as had the most without being asked, other teammates shared AR.
Headed to the buy station and I called "team on buy", one teammate went to the far side and tagged two and we ended up killing them easily due to the tags.
On the buy we bought primary weapons and a UAV then headed into the cirlce.
The whole game went on like this - no waffle comms, automatically sharing ammo and money, tagging and helping each other, constantly staying close, calling out if we engage or not in some situations. At one point I ran off and was aked "where are you running off to?" I thought, 'no-one asks me this normally??!' and ran back to stay close to the other two. Most of the game we were all probably within a 50m radius of each other apart from flanking.

When I play with friends its a different game
We dont really play as a team as teammates run off to do a bit of their own thing and we re-group a lot. Often this leads to eat individually coming under attach whilst on our own
Constant chatter which doesnt help win games but guess that's the nature of playing with friends
Squabbling over sharing money and ammo
Getting into engagements where one or more of the team will run off if they get shot (this is probably the most annoying thing)
Stupid things like yesterday me saying "I have a self res, you cover as they are near us" So teammates revives me and he gets shot within 3 seconds
Or when I died and needed buying back quickly so I could get my stuff back, teammate raids my body loot for 10 seconds then buys me back after. I drop in my the weapons but gas has now covered by body so am left at a late stage in the game with a pistol whilst teammate has half my gear like lethals but already had his main weapons

...I might just play more with random people

Yeh I usually play an objective based game for maxing out guns, the added xp definitely stacks up.
 
Another example of terrible teamplay.

I downed someone, then took all his teammates armour but was them downed by him. I said "1 downed, his teammate is 2 shot"
My friend proceeds to kill the guy on the floor instead of the guy standing. Then proceeds to get killed by the other guy who changed positions
 
We stopped playing with someone who was just a pain to play with, wouldn’t revive if you got downed, wouldn’t buy you back if he had the cash but would always cry down the mic if you took too long to buy him back.

It really is random who you drop in with whether real team players, shouters, silent guys etc. It annoys me greatly when you drop into a nice quiet area and plenty of plundering available, you do your bit collect 5-7k and this ******* is screaming he wants your money without actually collecting little/any of their own first. They are also the first to ping buy backs when it clearly isn't feasible right now due to placement/gas/money available.

I wouldnt say im the most technical at WZ(1&2) but I know when to shut up, flank, lay low and possibly even sacrifice myself if I have the money to buy back at least two others. In rebirth Island quads, I cant remember the amount of times myself or another scrambled to buy the rest of the team back knowing they were going to get pinged immediately and slaughtered but when the gas is closing and you have 3 guys instead of one, chances are you will have one of the bigger teams left and a better chance of success (gun availability allowing)
 
DMZ - looking at the map of the spawn points:

https://www.reddit.com/r/CODWarzone/comments/z9w5y6/updated_dmz_spawn_point_map_correct_locations/

There's a spawn where you can actually see enemy players when you spawn? Good luck with that one newbies.

I almost always spawn at the three (red) ones at the top or the bottom-left. Rarely, I spawn at the airport or the one on the very east side. I've been playing since launch and I have never spawned at half of those spawn points! I thought it was supposed to be random?

There's a spawn in Al-Mazrah City!? Who gets all these good spawns or are they linked to your active-missions?
