I was thinking the same in my last few matches. Doesn't feel as smooth for some reason. Maybe it's all the shit they've packed into each map to obscure your view lol.

Having a great time! Winning at least 80% of matches which is way more than I did in the beta. M4 maxed out. Gonna max out all the other primary weapons before I go after Gold.
Not just you. The UI is bad. Infinity Ward said they would make improvements going forward. There’s already quite a few changes from the beta.

Game looks good and runs well. Pinned at my FPS cap of 140 with max settings, 3840x1600, DLSS OFF. We'll see how Warzone 2 runs.
Movement isn't as crazy as MW19/Warzone. It was fun slide canceling all over the place to get around quickly and get in/out of situations but I don't mind the new pacing. Makes me feel more like a bot but I'll get used to it. At the moment, survivability may feel a bit decreased because of it.
Core modes are not fun at all right now. Shoot someone first, still lose fight because they spent the day in New Zealand leveling weapons. Need hardcore to alleviate some of the bullshit.
SBMM feels like it's turned up to 9000, nothing but sweats in my lobbies. Does this even carry over from previous games?
Ground War/Invasion are way more fun right now. Will probably spend more time playing these until hardcore is added.
Briefly tried Spec-Ops and it was really cool. Will definitely do those with a friend tomorrow.
Really happy to be back in modern times. Glad this is supposed to be a two year game.

XSX runs a little bit better at 120fps. Choose where your friends are.
I'm picking up the PS5 version because most will (due to the marketing deal) so the lobbies will be full and easy to find a match down the road.

It seems that crossplay is active and it isn't possible to deactivate it (yet?). So if you have no friends (like me), the platform really doesn't matter that much. You'll always have plenty of people to play with.
Even if you have friends, discord apps are available on xbox and PC and will soon arrive on playstation as well. So even voicechat probably won't be an issue much longer.
thats the call of duty mindset

It’s cross play, what’s it matter? Can’t you just play with anyone regardless of the platform they’re on? I say pick whichever platform is your favorite.

Oh good. I remember the UI on MW19 was super simple and straight forward. Can't wait for the revised UI.

So is there a way to make the aim sensitivity a bit closer to previous CoD’s? I played a few rounds and found myself frequently over-correcting due to momentum increasing as you turn
its cross-play though, hell my friend is playing on his xsx while im playing on my ps5 (and i have two friends planning on buying on steam)

How come when these Twitch streamers are doing well the game's perfect, but when they get their asses kicked the game's full of lag, sweaty lobbies and other player's doing unfair sneaky shit?

Had several crashes last night and issues with it finding games. It was fun overall though.

Yup its not even prime time yet. COD's as big as its ever been. If its doing the business on steam i wonder what the PS/Xbox numbers are like?
DMZ and warzone in a couple of weeks as well.

On PS5 and not a single crash or technical issue.
The one problem - and it's a good one to have - is that the lobbies are so quick I don't have time to tweak the gun attachments before the next round starts!
Sad to hear that PC players are having tech problems, but perhaps that speaks more of PC vs console in general, than it does any one particular game.

Playing a CoD game against PC players doesn't seem a fun/fair thing. Or can you choose to play only against Xbox?

I think mp looks little bit worse than mp mw19. But for sp it's the opposite.
I think it's just the art direction favoring more cleaner lines and textures vs. Mw19 very gritty look.

Just finished the campaign, great ideas, big lack of polish.
Played on the hardest difficulty that was not blocked (second latest), and god damn.
- Aimbot enemies that kill you in 3 impacts,
- bugs in the scripting (in ex. a couple segments where you have to sneak from enemy patrols that get out of a car)
- armored enemies are a pain to deal with (because they usually don't come alone),
- lack of clarity on the objective (lmao on the underwater segments),
- atrocious checkpoints (some of them get you in the middle of firing lol).
If all these was polished it would have been a superb experience

Game runs beautifully on PC maxed out 4k144. Only issue is this flickering I'm getting that didn't happen in beta.
My GPU is stable in every game but has some artifacting going on. Not sure if it's a driver issue or the game. Game doesn't crash but seems to have little shader caching or some kind of stutter in main menu upon loading. In game it's smooth but those graphical artifacts in game distract.

Looks like a shader recompile fixed it somewhat. The game still stutters and freezes when joining a lobby completely for seconds at a time. The first time I went into a lobby it didn't do that but every single time I've joined an MP lobby it's nearly frozen until I see the game loading.

Is the unlocking system for attachments in multiplayer still way different? In just want a simple RDS I remember in the beta that shit was complicated to unlock :|
I gave Battlefield a second chance the last couple months, and I was having a good time with it. Now that COD is back to a realistic look for a modern shooter, I think Battlefield's rebirth will be short lived. Shame they didn't have it in the current state a year ago. But life moves on, and COD really does feel "back" right now. The king has returned.

Not that complicated. And requires less grinding than old games.
Some attachments (like barrels) are now tied to a platform (like the M4) instead of an individual weapon. So instead of having to grind every gun to max, sometimes you unlock an attachment for multiple weapons at once. Otherwise its the same as always.
You unlock most of the weapons just by ranking up, as usual. A few other weapons are unlocked via the platform progression instead of your rank. Like you don't unlock the MP5 by your rank, its in the Lachman platform. You unlock the Lachman 762 rifle at rank 16 and then as you use that weapon, you'll unlock the rest of the platform including the MP5. Otherwise weapons like the Fennec (Vector) just unlock normally by ranking up.

I wish cross play could just involve the consoles and exclude PC and maybe it does as I left it on
Played with quite a few people on PC through the day yesterday and already ran into one group of aimbotters named something like Spankumommy and Spankudaddy.
I joined the game of TDM already in progress and my team was down something stupid like 70-15 and only 3 of us on my team as everyone kept leaving and those two morons were both 40 some kills to single digit deaths and the play of the game showed obvious aim bot as he was snap shooting three players insanely fast

Thats really shit. PC players ruin these games, its always been the way. They finally sorted that out on warzone then left it in this. Muppets!

I knew it. Got a link to reports by chance?
I turned it on at about 80%, I thought that looked sharper.

thanks that does look a bit better, do you know if it makes frame rate worse or does it not affect anything ?

I actually appreciated this about the beta, longer range engagements and stayed alive longer rather than just constant meat grinder.

For what it's worth, I was happy with how good I did compare to past Cod's. Just some artifacts on PC but performance is stellar.
I like that map with the F1 cars.

I dont even bother with it and I doubt it makes much of a difference anyway. I like to cycle out attachments as I unlock them in order, even if they don’t go together well (ie a 8x scope with a 50 round drum). Makes for really fun variety.
