People have the nerve to call helldivers dead when this shit is basically a crackden being kept alive with doritos.

Legitimately the worst Battle Pass ever released (even worse than the Vanguard ones) + lackluster content for a seasonal update.

Slophammer doesn’t even deserve to be a support studio at this point, let alone a primary studio with their “own” titles.

The AI banned so many people from comms they had to make the game free.

don't give acti money until they make a good game

No, the vast majority of MWII in general skins don't have any zombies exclusive lines no zombies exclusive lines, nor does (at least Firecracker) have any zombies exclusive lines either.

>>487457819
That's because Microsoft uses secure UWP binaries or something. In the past some PC Goy Pass games were also in their own secure directory and modding or even deleting them properly was impossible. Haven't followed that much.
Easy to assume this is Microsoft's retardation. This is also why XB patches are two times bigger than PC or even PS5 ones... Trash company.

SEASON 5 REVIEW (SO FAR)

>new guns
STG44 is bussin, don't care for the new SMG that much
>new maps
Both of them are great, small enough to be chaotic but not as 1-dimensional as maps like Shipment
>new attachments/AMP
haven't tried yet but blunderbuss MORS sounds awesome
>nerfs/buffs
hyped to use the buffed SPAS-12 (no I will not call it the "Reclaimer") with the buffs but need to max-level the new guns first. Side note: Shame on SHG for making us wait SEVEN MORE WEEKS for the akimo SPAS like wtf.
>party mode/mini-game mode/whatever its called
dumb gimmick mode that gets old after two matches, wish they wouldn't keep making these and give us more guns/6v6 maps instead
>battle pass
one of the better ones in a while, Mommy Valeria is based, the wrestler woman who's butt you can see is based, and the golden Japanese samurai is based. some of the other skins are nice too.
>cel-shaded maps
lame gimmick EXCEPT the Shipment variant because its set during the day which makes visibility way fucking better

I wish the javelin wasn't being held back until the mid-season uploaded
I wish we got something other than a generic SMG again as a new weapon

but overall this season is solid even if it's not as good as the previous ones, but they set the bar pretty high compared to the trash Infinity Slop had going in 2023

6.5/10 will keep grindin'.

>>487511129

I will wait for you to sprint to throwing knife you.
Yes I will throwing knife you before you get that sticky grenade off.
You will be limited to only thermite or you will die.
I will spend the entire game spotting you for my team on invasion so they can snipe you every single time you try to push into the camper paradise mansion and I will hold the mansion the entire game.
My teammates will kill you because you have no idea how to kill me.
No I will not apologise.

that pops up when you complete one of your daily challenges which goes towards unlocking new stuff

>>487572013
i assume game pass forces you use battle.net as a launcher; there is a "customize installation" option that lets you do just that

Requiem got gamete samples from all employees, but they determined Ravenov's sperm was suboptimal for their purposes. They ended up using Carver's to impregnate Maxis's egg since it had sufficient melanin content. The problem was that Grey was a biologist, so she would have been able to tell that the sperm sample was switched, so Requiem took baby Ava and used the CIA's top secret race changing technology that was used on Bell while Grey was still exhausted and hopped up on pain meds before giving the baby back to her and pressuring her to put it up for adoption.

Thoughts on MW2 2022? I always see endless praise for the changes with MW3 and the faster movement and more twitchy slide hopping. But I feel like things were going in a good direction. And they just reverted all of it.

>>487656148
Its perk system was awful. The only good thing about it was that it nerfed ghost somewhat, but that isn't worth dragging literally everything else down with it.

>>487627095
They didn’t want anything to threaten their precious SMG rape meta.

Shotguns should not use actual pellets for damage calculation. It should be based on how much of your crosshair is covering the enemy when you fire (with damage ranges of course). And if you ADS then it's calculated based on an invisible crosshair.

cod feels very consumer unfriendly. There's a new game every year, there's never very much innovation between installments, and they start advertising the next game with popups you have to click through just 4 seasons into the previous game. microtransactions that cost 20+ usd. they even tap into fomo strategies with how they're set up the battlepass and the weekly challenges. It's also always botherede me that they make so much money, yet warzone is still on 20 tick servers and mp is still on 60 tick servers, while the competition like counterstrike and others regularly get 120 tick rate servers. They have the money to improve this but the cod fanbase is ignorant enough to not complain enough for it to matter to them. They use every trick in the book and tell you to buy the 90% the same game next year.

I think I've just grown tired of this pattern. It feels fake. The basic game itself is fun enough, everyone likes shooters, but everything around it is so unhealthy and the business practices are bad for you, the consumer.

I know you all are just going to say "whatever there's the door" or "you'll be back tomorrow" or some shit to that effect, but I have a feeling that most of you know what I'm talking about, you just choose to ignore it for whatever reason.

I will now play COD

is MW3 skin worth it?

>>487703304
retards think it's good and fun, too.

anyway, yea, learn to build your guns. Recoil control is a good start.

>>487681748
Just play. Have fun. Cheating is rampant in Cod and so generic that I suggest you ignore 80-90% of YouTube streamers when trying to determine what good CoD looks like.

My suggestion is to level up all the guns (doing camo challenges helps with XP) and then go after Interstellar. It will expose you the guns and to how the stats work. You will learn what you like and don't like and you will figure out your builds. "Oh, I really prefer fast ADS" or, "I'm fine taking a hit in stability because I like bullet velocity more." Beyond that, just play. There are some intro to CoD videos that are good to watch but play a bit so that some of the tips make sense to you.

>>487724364
MWIII guns don't really have recoil compared to even MWII
Came in using my MWII loadout with the Scar H and was given motion sickness by the visual noise upon firing and my gun having recoil vs even the stock AR you start with having none
Its fucking pathetic

>>487656148
You're not crazy. Anyone who unironically loves MW3 (I post-ironically like it) are just sweat BattleRoyale Fags.

I think I figured out that anyone that actually likes it, is actually playing Warzone or DMZ.

Because the praise I consistently see around it is always peppered with hints that they're not actually playing quickplay or multiplayer, there's always like a phrase or something that makes you go "Oh they're playing Warzone" or some shit.

If you're a quickplay MP purist (i.e. you're not retarded), you generally have above average IQ.

But you know, the youth will over take the old or whatveer. For better and for worse.

QP is still fun from time to time. but yea, the maps and the TTK in MW2022 was superior. and the weapons.

"The perk system was better!" eh. it was comparably equivalent.

There are people who actually liked mw2022's perk system?

>>487656148
I had to play a few multiplayer matches to unlock some characters in MW3 and at a very casual level, which is what I played it at, the multiplayer felt like MW3 but a little slower. So I guess, it depends on preference?

I saw a youtube video where someone was complaining about the schmovement in 3, saying they made it too much like Fortnie (never played) but's that's really all I know. I mean, it isn't Advanced Warfare or Black Ops 3...

I like MW3's speed, taken in isolation. I'm looking forward to the Black Ops 6 movement changes.

>>487670653
I don't know enough about the server ticks except at extreme ends (US server playing with a British friend I got some lag). I'd say 4/5 games have been fine but I do get some moments where they are shockingly bad. And, at this point, I simply expect the Popov power plant (the 20+ team battle) to essentially freeze up for a minute or two lol. I shouldn't accept that, but I go in basically out of boredom.

Your point about CoD being consumer unfriendly is on point. For a game that's so commercialized, with a new game almost yearly, you'd think the store would be better. It's got a horrible store. The way the game shows you certain things to buy in CoD headquarters makes me wonder if I own the game, or own the right game, or enough of the game. It's strange.

Imagine if you want to spend money on (in) the game. It's surprisingly confusing. It's the biggest sin I can imagine-- they made it hard for me to spend my money. I actually wanted to grab a couple of skins when I got MW3 on sale. It took me so long to find them. There are so many bundles in the game and they are in menus that will be obscure to the person who is just getting started with the game. Fix the store.

>>487724641
They might not, but "building recoil Control" was the first advice I got when I was first getting into the game, and it radically changed the experience for me once I started building towards that. So much so that I really should look into it again. (I've stopped doing so more recently, I should really get back to doing that) Also, don't use MW2 guns in MW3, unless it's the M4 Ghost reaver or whatever the fuck. At least, not until you know what you're doing in this game (yes it's different.S orry, not trying to be patronizing)

>>487725706
I didn't hate it, if that's what you're asking. I kinda like MW3 perks, and I kinda liked MW2 perks. Idk that doesn't make or break a game for me. I was actually pissed for a sec that they took "Quick Heal" out of MW3, glad they brought it back. But a good amount of the perks in MW3 just promote movefagging. And I'm not really interested in this.

>>487670653
Yea but at the same time, it's the only shooter that's just a shooter for shooter's sake that just works.

XDefiant has even worse netcode... and that leaves, what, Overwatch or Valorant? Those games/companies aren't better. And I don't have an hour and a half to kill 17 people any more. My time's precious. I drop into some small map mosh pit, kill some people, feel good. Move on with my life.

I would love it if the game went free to play, but desu, the fact that it's just a basic shooter that just fucking works, I put roughly over 1-2 hundred hours into each installment with my friends. DESU with you senpai? They're kinda earning my money man.

I can afford to skip 3 meals to give money to a company that "Just makes a shooter that fucking works", you know?

Rather that then wahtever the shit squirts Riot has been doing. $500 for a fucking skin. And to believe people suck their fucking cocks.

>>487732646
I have no problem with mw2's perks themselves, but it's the damn timer system where you don't get half your perks until later on in the match that I despise.

>>487732646
$500 skin? What? Good point about CoD being a shooter that's just a shooter.

I guess Destiny 2 and Halo have free to play stuff. Servers in Destiny 2 are just fine. I'm not a big D2 multiplayer fan though. (I love the single player.)

>Another example was a test to tighten skill in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III. This had inverse results consistent with the results of the loosening test. Quit rate was down for 90% of players and we saw other improvements in the experience of low-skill players (KPM and SPM). However, we observed negative impacts for high-skill players. As a result, this change was not rolled out as a standard approach in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III, as we continue to strive for a balance in our approach to matchmaking.
So high-skill players are ruining the game because if their skill brackets were tightened they would be matched more with their own kind and stop causing so many blowouts when they get matched with lower skilled players.

>>487738117
Correct.

The only people who have ever complained about SBMM are try hard streamer faggots and their mindbroken fans.

The anti-SBMM drones have never given a shit about the experiences of others only that they get to feel super special for 10 minutes.

>BRAAAAAAAAAPPPP
>SNNNIIIIIIIIIIFFFFFFFFFFF

>>487739426
This feels right to me. I probably couldn't prove it, but it feels right.

I think CoD does SBMM in a weird way. It prefers pretty wild distributions in how it organizes teams. I wish the devs would talk about that.They don't do balanced or uniform teams and I wish they'd talk about whether they've experimented with creating match results from different distributions (e.g., normal, uniform, and so on) of players.

>>487717510
alright
I downloaded warzone
I logged in, bought the pass

but I do not know how to find matches and since I don't own any of the other COD games it appears most content is locked off?
If I download warzone dlc thing like it says under warzone section can I play matches at least? I downloaded 90 gb I should at least get to play something.

>>487740245
Just go to the Warzone tab, you have to go down. I probably would recommend playing a few games of Plunder, so you can get your bearings, especially if you haven't played a post MW2019 title.

>>487732646
I keep on hearing from people that they have better netcode with xDefiant though.

>>487736157
Reminder: Bungie already tested all of this when they removed SBMM from their pvp modes and had to put it back in after their player pop nose dived. Five years later Activation runs the same experiment and gets the same results. XDefiant releases without SBMM and flops instantly.

People will still bitch about SBMM despite three companies showing you it works and is needed to keep a game alive.

>>487741941

>>487739426
So yea, it's the fucking smurfing problem. Yea for the most part I get into a fucked match from time to time, but yea, for the most part, i'm generally having a good time. If I get blown out, i'm usually like "yea I'm probably due for a loss, I've been hot for a few days"

Sucks when it happens, but I get it and generally don't have complaints.

>>487734046
Oh. Yea that was kinda weird and objectively not good game design, buuut... it didn't really make that much of a difference? Your complaint is still valid.

>>487734948
Yea, Riot dropped a Faker Ahri skin that legit costs like $500, I'm not exaggerating, it's literally $500. And the thing is, this shit was happening in Valorant back in 2021? Like, They dropped a "Zedd" musician collab bundle. And up until that point, skins could usually only be bought in 40-50$ bundles. But the ZZedd bundle cost like... $120? $130? And for a while, the bundle was the only way to get ANY of those guns.

Obviously, Riot was rewarded for their behavior because their consoomer brained audience is fucking dumb as shit. This, of course, fucking emboldended them. Come 2024, they drop a $500 1337 esports gaming skin for Ahri, a character in LoL. And, like, poorfags were mad that people paid for it? but like... what do you expect? Consoomers gonna consoom. BUt yea, Riot was a real shitheel for pulling that shit, and consumers were rarted for being okay with it and paying for it.

>>487742096
1) I have not.
2) I played a GOOD amount of XDefiant when I was shadowbanned on CoD for a couple weeks. It's serviceable, but at times, it can be noticeably a little worse than CoDs. Like, it's still serviceable, but in my experience, that hasn't been the case. I guess this is a "your mileage may vary" kinda thing.

>>487734948
>D2
Oh shit, yea, forgot to respond to your D2 Comment. Yea, I'm not really a D2 or Halo player either. Shit's too slow, and I'm not a fan of looter shooters. That shit's consoomer pig-trough consoom slop to me. Big Skinner box energy imo.

I have heard no complaints about D2, that's a good point. i'm sure their netcode is solid. If you like Single PLayer D2, good on you. I never played and never care to, so I don't really have an opinion. Sorry mate

>>487742857
this one's tough. Game launches w/o SBMM and the game flops.

Like, I think this is a "correlation causation" fallacy here. but you could be right. Like, and I think it's so fucking hilarious, we've been doing PVP matchmaking for fucking 15 years and not a single fucking company can do it well lmfao.

But I think at the end of the day, XDefiant is just a mid class based shooter, an idea from a bygone era. The overwatch tards should hop onto something like XDefiant and actually give it a shot, but unfortunately for them, you have to actually be good at shooting games, and they're too busy gooning to gay overwatch porn and bitching and being bad at actual shooting games to do that.

So they can go fucking die mad about it lmfao

I liked 2022 a fair bit, aside from the art direction in the BPs
Id probably enjoy 23 more if they properly balanced the 22 weapons. Also the maps sledgehammer makes are dog shit. It feels like they come up with the 3d design of the place and then slap a skin over it, they're so geometric, compared to the OG mw2 maps where there were organic elevation changes and shit. None of the mw3 original maps feel like real places
The 150hp wouldn't bother me as much if the game didn't have such dog shit hit detection and net code
I like how they're going balls deep with the aftermarket kits, some of them are pure shit posts and it's great
Overall, the MP is kind of lackluster compared to 2019 and 22.

>>487761816
not exactyl sure "which piece" you're referring to in terms of "It's glitched?"

But I'm assuming you mean hit detection/TTK... oh you're talking about MW2 weapons

Oh no, it's just that the weaps were designed for kinda literally different games/environments. HP setting in MW2022 was 100hp, which means those weapons were designed and then balanced and then rebalanced for 100hp encounters, whereas the weap stats in MW3 were made and balanced and rebalanced after launch specifically for MW3 and 150 HP.

I mean, the Lockwood lever action from MW2, not JAK attachments, mind you, Killed in One shot in MW2 above the stomach. I was pretty good at it. Now, it doesn't even kill in 1 headshot, even with damage attachments on it. I literally think it's because they just dragged and dropped them into the game and didn't change any of the numbers on it, or at least did very little in that department.

I mean, I could be wrong. Some Dev could come in here and tell me I'm wrong, but my impression was they just dragged and dropped the MW2222weaps in there, that certainly was the impression I got seeing them all just there on the screen when i first booted MW2.

Furthermore, the lever action non-JAK lockwood used to kill in MW2; it does not kill AT ALL in MW3, unless you're JAK-ing off. I don't think it's a glitch, I think they just didn't have time to rebalance it.

Still, the M4 isn't bad, and the hurricane isn't bad either. The Deagle still works alright. The GS MAGNA is still a meme.

>>487732646
>t least, not until you know what you're doing in this game (yes it's different.S orry, not trying to be patronizing)
No I get you, MWIII plays differently than MWII and the guns from the previous game are tuned to a different TTK and playstyle putting me at a disadvantage from the get go

God damnit posting on my phone here

>>487763787
a good place to start is looking at guns that other people are using too. like, sometimes a gun is really on a hot streak in certain matches, and sometimes it's good overall.

if you see a guy using a certain weapon, try that out. and sometimes, it's match based too

I remember one match I had where I was going like. .75kdr for the match but this one guy was ripping ass with the WSP swarm. switched to that gun and told a teammate to do the same, and suddenly holy shit both of us were going on 5 kill kill streaks. still lost the match but it was an interesting little case study.

just pay attention to what's killing you sometimes, and if. you wanna get decent "" quote unquote, just pay attention a little bit. you can meme quite a bit, but remember, is only game. if you want to win, you gotta play to the field a bit.

I do not play ranked lol

I love the blunderbuss.

holy fuck is matchmaking fucked for anyone else?

I get SBMM being a thing but holy fuck I just played 8 rounds in a row where 4 people on the enemy team have 40-60+ kills meanwhile no one on my team can break 20.

AHAHAHAHAHAH

>>487828617
This is not true at all - I have done tests and the game can put me into 100ms lobby from EU, this is without any VPN.
When using VPN my base latency is about 90ms but the game has absolutely no trouble throwing 150+ ms lobby(this would LA / West Coast, while should be playing on East Coast instead).
Skill is a factor with the matchmaking but they conveniently don't talk about the lobby skill throttling because that's a hush hush secret for the real reason why they want to "explain" these things. Every lobby behaves like a loot box, you never know what you are going to get. BUT the lobby difficulty uses your own skill level as a base modulation.

But whatever. Any talk about this turd is kicking a dead horse. It won't lead anywhere.
It's like arguing about politics - it will only make everyone unhappy no matter what is their stance.

Ok, guess I won't be playing this. Gonna take a break from cod in general for that matter, I haven't really been enjoying mw3 lately. Been playing other games and I think I'm happier.

70% of 1+ billion isnt undersold plus it has a higher player retention than the game that sold 1+ billion meaning more money from MTX, MW3 is a success whether you like it or not, for example everytime there is a new season blackcell is top selling in mtx on steam
