this is fecking amazing. It's just so random and no 2 games are the same.

I concur, there’s so many elements to it and the balance seems spot on.

Really love the contracts on top of the gun play, they keep you moving and encourage you to take risks.

I love it when the circle suddenly jumps away from you, forcing you to get a fecking move on suddenly. But also I love it when you’ve holed up somewhere with your team and there’s enemies on all sides.

So many brilliant moments and as you said, all totally fluid and random.

Surely next in line for a nerf. One mate on our team has just got them so he can be the room clearing guy for now.

has to be. I unlocked them as I’m just ranking up as many weapons as possible this weekend, they are just unbelievable. Not tried in warzone as yet though.
 
Warzone is exceptional to be fair.

At the height of my gaming activity I was honestly pretty much addicted to MW2. I played it every recreational hour I had, which was a lot for a lad just in secondary school. If Warzone was out back then I can't even imagine how obsessed with it I'd be.

Unfortunately, playing next-to-no COD since MW2 has meant that I've reverted back to being absolutely shocking. I think of 15 or so gulags I've been in so far I've won 2. I just have a slow trigger finger and shite aim.

Killing people at long range doesn't even seem possible. Like I'd hit them, the gun will recoil, I'll have to jutter my shooting to keep control of the gun and they just manage to slip away. I know I'm somehow doing something wrong though as I get gunned down from about 7 miles away in less than half of a second.

I've had the odd game with like 5 kills but that'd be the absolute peak of my powers. Cos the game is so good and Warzone clearly starts evenly, there's feck all things to blame being shite on :lol: I do have a shocking internet connection though.

What's your go to loadout?

M4 with m16 Grenadier barrel, monolithic suppressor, 60 round mag, commando grip and fully loaded will give you a powerful gun with minimal recoil for Warzone. Blipping the trigger helps a lot at a distance. Can just hold it down at close range and they drop very quickly.

So I started off just playing domination or whatever and I was having the most amount of success with the Kilo, but I know the M4 is the most popular gun in the game so there must be a reason for it!

It actually doesn't help that I never bother getting a loadout drop. I really just pick up whatever and think ah that'll do, I probably shouldn't have that approach.

I'll definitely give your loadout a try though, thanks!

That loadout is too slow for multiplayer but works great in Warzone. When I first started playing I had the wrong attachments on my M4 so was always wondering why everyone was using it. With those though it's unreal.

I also struggle with recoil on most guns picked up. Deffo worth picking up a loadout, then you get your perks as well. Enjoying restock at the mo for stuns to use on everyone and claymore refills.

You’re not alone there I have exactly the same problems guys gun me down in seconds from long range but all I seem to do is break guys armour.

Lost out on 5 gun battles today and gulag’s within the first minute had to set the controller down.
I only started playing again last year after years not playing so I can understand the difference in gamers.
Sometimes I’ll do well and have 6-7 kills but mostly I get very few kills can be very frustrating.
 
Solos is so punishing man. You can get a good start get 5 or so kills, your load outs, money etc then run into one guy sitting in the corner of a room who takes all your progress one in one swoop! Doing fcuk all in the game til that point.
 
Anyone else having issues with crashes in warzone? Got newest hardware and drivers are update as well. Saw the reddit thread on it and it seems quite a few people have those issues, too.
 
Couldn’t get a game this evening. Disappointing as I wanted to grind for akimbo Renetti!
 
Anyone else trying to unlock the Bruen? I think I’ve done the task in 7 games - but the tracking isn’t updating for me.

it was the same for the VLK Rogue shotgun. Had 0/15 - played a lot with the 725 and got more than 7 kills in each game, then it just unlocked.

Problem with the Bruen is I’m not sure if I’m doing it right, if I have to be in the smoke too. But I’ve done it every way possible so I defo have it done at least once. Pain in the arse it isn’t tracking.
 
The akimbo, snake shot, .357’s are some weapons for close range one shot kills all over the place..

I started it, noticed it wasn't tracking and sacked it off. I've used the glitch in warzone though and think it's fecking ace so wouldn't mind unlocking it.

They're a joke, literally just have to run away as soon as you notice someone has got them. Tight spaces and rooms you've got no chance.
 
Not even the worst of it but yeah dual snakes are so dumb :lol: thankfully they're getting nerfed but dunno when

Logged on for a few last games of double xp and it did track for me. Was on 6/15, now on 10/15.

I actually have the Bruen ranked up highly, taking advantage of the double xp and picking up dead peoples weapons. I’ll just have to grind the last 5 smoke kills.

Yeah you have to be in the smoke aswel as the enemy. Perfect in shoot the ship. On shipment. Really good gun when you get the side mag for it.
 
Unlocked the Bruen finally! Feels a little sluggish to begin with - prob me just used to the pace of the RAM-7
 
It's a good game when it works but feckin hell I've never played a game this buggy before. Sometimes after a few games my framerates will turn to crap causing massive stuttering. It'll drop from a constant 120 fps to 80-100 tops with frequent drops into the 30s without any logical explanation but a bug. I then have to quit to desktop and restart the game to fix it. Also, the game frequently crashes without any error message after a multiplayer game. And then there's the issue of it randomly forgetting certain settings. Not just me either, Google any of these issues and you'll find dozens of threads on the likes of Reddit. It's a mess.
 
Playing via PS4 it's full of PC hackers. Crossplay in this regard ruins the level of competitiveness.

Aside this however warzone is well balanced you can randomly enter the latter stages of contests with stealth / reserved approaches. I think overall it suits the run & gun concept more, being able to do push squads is crucial under composure but there's many "clutch" moments due to the momentum of the gameplay structure.

For those questioning the reason there are go to guns, from my experiences it's to do with gun fights and fire rate scenarios. The AR's (Grau, M4) / SMG's (MP5 + MP7) Handgun's (Snakeshot aka akimbo .357) / Shotgun (725) are all overpowered in almost a multitude of situations. You can beam almost anything with a decent load out on these weapons irrespective of multiplayer or WZ. Underrated classes I'd say are the M13, AUG (622m barell, NATO rounds) and the Starmer (requires decent accuracy) I've got some decent killstreaks with these less popular choices.

There's also other advantages in setup such as controller modifications with scuf inputs, grips and kontrolfreek attachments for analogue stick sensitivity support. Do mind these all come with a small price :lol:.

Don’t worry about that. They literally design the matchmaking to make it better for people like you because they want newbies to stay and not get scared off. It still might take some getting used to, but like The Cat says, you can practice against bots.

The problem is the skill based matchmaking does the exact opposite, because of the algorithm it uses it will mostly put people in sweaty crutch matches which is why most are using the join lobbies trick to avoid the matchmaking system.

I’ve never played online on COD only ever done campaigns. I want to start because it seems that’s where all the fun is at :( how do I train? Is there an option to train with the AI? Just so I know what to do before I start playing with my friends
Click to expand...

If anyone's looking to train id personally run private against bots to get used to the sensitivity and make adjustments and avoid a terrible K/D ratio.

Once you can grasp the sensitivity you'll be confident in confronting opponent then when playing online it's just map control and assessing the movement of a game to get kills and spawn camping if possible.
 
Warzone was datamined and found 13 game modes coming to it in the future.


  1. Classic BR – No Cash, Contracts, Gulags, loadouts, or respawns‬
‪2. Mo Gulag Mo Problems – Dead players go to Gulag until final 3 circles, NO buybacks‬



‪3. BYOL – Bring your own loadout, start w/ your loadout‬

‪4. Non Stop – Gas always closing‬

5. PewPew – High dmg pistols & Explosive Physics‬

‪6. Run Like Hell – Circle is faster than a running player‬

‪7. Bottom Line – When a player dies they will drop back into the fight if they have enough cash on them. Gulag disabled‬

‪8. Realism – Minimal HUD ‬

The rest have no description in their strings.

‪9. Infinite Gulag – ‬

‪10. Most Wanted – ‬

‪11. One shot – Gonna go out on a limb here and say you’ll die in 1 shot ‬

‪12. Stimulus – I’m guessing more money available or just increased money rates in general‬

I was hoping for a hardcore mode for Warzone. So that would be the realism mode. But some of these sound fun

Only if they're half decent though, surely? It's putting people into sweaty matches when they do well.

Interesting. Last time something like this was leaked there was a hardcore mode in there. The guy was right about everything else that's already arrived too. Maybe they've removed it.

They need to fix the game before any of this anyway.
 
Is the shield ever going to get sorted out by the way?

The thing can deflect rpg hits. Tonight I had Juggernaut and a shield cnut was just in my face hitting me with it and I couldn't even do anything. Can't even use explosives behind them in that situation. Stupid.

How much RAM do you have? two of the guys I played with only had 8GB and had a lot of the issues you're experiencing. They updated to 16GB and have been able to run it on Max, 1080p since. It's a RAM heavy game because of the map size but not actually too bad for CPU & GPU.
 
Also since our final squad member got the PC version and we're all on PC, we disabled cross-play. For some reason, I've been getting way more kills. Maybe the console gamers are actually more skilled, which seems weird, but I guess it's possible they play it a hell of a lot more than PC gamers?

Got 11 kills in a game last night, was only me and a squad of 3 left at the end, took out all 3 of them but the first guy I took out self-revived and killed me as I was reloading, we came 2nd. So close to being the hero!

4th one sounds like fun. Hopefully they can patch out the cheaters as after turning off crossplay, i cant get any servers for Warzone.

Us boyos on console do have aim assist, I reckon that does definitely aid us - I really noticed it spam playing shoot the ship, crouched down on ground trying to get kills in the smoke for the Bruen, the aim assist kicked in and pulled with the run of the enemy.

The big thing I see more of for PC gamers is the sensitivity, it seems uber quicker panning around, so if you are accurate enough on PC you can get the upper hand quicker imo - plus the jump and shoot is way more common. But that is just me looking from the outside (and CoD streams).
