One thing I'm hoping they change after playing the PS4 beta is the post match scoreboard. It's too godamn long.

Game stops > final kill cam > look at top 3 players(nobody cares) > slowly fade up with the scoreboard.

Why is it this so long? It used to be just the final kill cam and then a few seconds of the final scoreboard.

 

[aravuus]

Yeah, it's a bit ridiculous. Especially the top 3 players part, it's completely unnecessary.

e: let me skip them and get a bit more time in the lobby to set up my classes for the next match and I'm happy

I think looking at the top 3 players would be a lot more useful if there was in-depth soldier customization.

Switched to ps4 controller wireless for BO3 and doing a lot better, i have the new xbox controller with the headphone jack, and the PS4 controller is just much better for FPS games for me.

Heh

I just cant see it. My fingers were slipping all over the place in the PS4 beta. I had to order some KontrolFreaks which made it tons better, but i shouldnt have to do that. My hands also were fatigued after extended sessions.

Playing the beta on x1 and none of this is an issue. The sticks feel great and the triggers are a lot more precise than the DS4.

Even with it looking better on PS4 and the DLC partnership, I can't see myself going with BLOPS III on the system. Especially with the Elite controller coming on X1.

Does everyone on xbox one think they're competing in an mlg event? I've never seen so many kids laying on the floor/headglitching/dropshotting/preaiming in all my time in all the cods on ps4.

Is it really that suprising? Xbox had been the primary home of CoD for years. I don't really see it changing all that much even with the Activision/Sony partnership.

I'm not a COD player, so what you guys love I hate and vice-versa. AW is the only one I like (oh, and I don't play shooters on consoles, PC versions only).

Do you feel like the game straight up plays differently between the two systems? I swear the feel of the game is drastically different. Maybe I'm just getting thrown into laggy matches...

I don't. It feels the same to me.

People who complain about drop shotting are just bad players it's been in the game since at least cod4 adapt.

All the serious cod players are on Xbox with competitive and dlc shifting to Sony a ton of these people will be moving to ps4.

I'm actually enjoying the Xbox one version more but that's probably due to being use to playing with my scuf one. I guess I'll need to order a scuf ps4 when it gets closer to launch in November cuz I'm definitely switching to the ps4 version.

 

[TheOnlyMook]

Hard wired my Xbox One last night and ended up getting a less laggy experience overall. Still a lot of fun to play even though it frustrates me in the same ways it always has.

'God damnit 6 hit markers on that guy'
'Yo sick corner camping, god damnit'
'I run around a corner and get killed 2 seconds later, oh okay cool'

Still fun.

I'm curious how COD even plays on a controller. On PC with a mouse it's insane the drags you get with SMGs. How do you even adapt with analog? The only FPS on console I've played is Halo but it's not even as close Run and Gun as this.

[NippleViking]

The more I play the less I like it, and I don't really know why either. Movement is clunky, hit-registration feels funky, maps are terribly boring and the specialist abilities are BS; will give it to Treyarch on that KRM-262 shotgun however - that is probably among the most satisfying shottys I've ever used in multiplayer gaming.

Maybe CoD is no longer for me. A bit disappointed frankly, but if Zombies and Campaign have the usual wacky Treyarch flair I may still buy it.

 

[Papercuts]

Any updates on XB1 people that had crashing? I wanted to try to play it more to get a feel for the controller since I already got to level 40 on the PS4 run.

 

[jorgejjvr]

The flinch needs to get fixed

Besides that and black hats, this is an amazing game.

I would take this beta with 3 maps for the whole year and play it the whole year, over that AW

I've always played my fps on Xbox platform dating back to the original Xbox , but have always owned both consoles . Mainly it's been because of the Xbox having a better controller. After playing both betas for bo3 , i honestly feel that the ps4 may have the better controller for fps games . The Xbox one has a great controller as well , but I think the tension on the ps4 sticks being similiar to the 360 allow for more precision than the loose sticks on the bone . It's all subjective of course , but this is coming from someone that has always played fps on Xbox .

To me, I can't get over how different the 2 betas are . The xbone must have a completely different dev team , than the ps4 version. The difference in visuals is massive, but the ps4 version felt as responsive as u could ever hope for, very little hit markers , u shoot someone , their dead . My experience this far on the bone version is the controls feel clunky, maybe have input lag or something . Can't put my finger on . Guess with Sony now having MLG, sure treyarch is focusing on that version first .

 

[Beepos]

Drags?

In tight close combat, you drag your mouse with a smg to headshot as they strafe/double jump away from you.

 

[i plays game lol]

Day 2 down, still not feeling it.

I loved Black-Ops 1 & 2 and was pumped to see what Treyarch could do with a longer dev cycle… but can’t say I’m impressed with the results. I was really hoping for a more “traditional” cod experience.

Also this franchise needs to embrace dedicated servers or something, holy shit. I’ve been out of CoD since Black-Ops 2 and it’s hilarious to me to come back to the same shit I’ve experienced years ago… Hit detection/lag messing with the game in a huge way. I mean at times the game feels borderline unplayable. One game I’ll be playing and my hits seem to register just fine and I can land some nice scores. Then I’ll play later, using the same damn gun, and now it feels like the gun is nerfed or something and I’m a split-second behind other people. I just get hit markers and die instantly. Absolutely pathetic.

Although on a positive note, if I don’t like this game it will give me more time to play halo 5 this year, because that beta actually felt pretty solid and was insanely enjoyable overall.

[Mechanized]

It didn't even need a nerf. It's far from OP, it felt really fair whenever I used it. If you know someone is using rejack all you have to do is lob a semtex into the cloud, or just pause a second and then hip fire dump on it. I hope they don't bend to the will of complainers who can't just adapt to stuff. That is not the right kind of balancing that needs to be done.

they should just stand there like a muppet so i can shoot them in the face, offcourse.

Spoiler

calm down, it's just an observation

How did you get impression I should calm down? I wrote two sentences on very calm way, or were you looking for reaction you hoped I had between the lines? It was basically honest question, I mean where is the line of trying too hard and playing "normally"?

 

[boredofcanada]

I think this is the cheesiest cod I've ever played. I mean Destiny supers? Come on. The characters all look really stupid when they are wall gliding too. AW is better than this,

 

[constantstatic]

No longer carry over your score streak which really defeats the whole purpose of using it. I mostly used it to troll cuz I think it's funny as hell jumping out of the green smoke and killing the guy who killed you. Rejacks only good when playing against bad players anyways and some situations in SND.

Pretty much. I could see Rejack saving a round of Search. Exactly like a self-rez Warlock would in Trials, now that I think of it..

 

[JAYinHD]

They made it to where you scorestreak is now reset upon using the ability.

Couldn't have said this any better myself. People complained about this one out of all the 1 shot cheese specialist abilities and Treyarch folded incredibly fast. If I kill someone ad I see a cloud of smoke then I know they have Rejack so I get a free kill along with the first time kill. You might as well just respawn now that the ability is quite useless unless you're playing SnD.

 

[nealwinter]

Does anyone know a way to make your custom paintjobs appear on your gun? I see others with them showing up but I cannot get mine to show up at all on my gun.

Wow, they should have just removed it entirely at that point. Since the pace of SND is slower, people won't be falling for it there. It's not like Destiny's resurrection where you get a massive health bonus.

Here's to hoping this isn't a slippery slope to shotguns and snipers getting massively nerfed.

It seems to work intermittently for me. Seems like a bug.

 

[aravuus]

I was concerned about Rejack before playing the beta, now I realize I had completely forgotten about it during the time I played. Never came across anyone who used it so yeah, doesn't feel like it was that unfair after all.

Like this...smh

Jesus, these CoD youtubers are like carbon copies of each other lol. All sound exactly the same, it's like I'm watching the same thing over and over again.

They would disappear on the ps4 if you got featured in the top 3 restarting the game fixed it. I haven't played with the paintshop on xbone yet but that might help.


I'm wondering if the severs are going to shit the bed today when they update the game and raise the level cap like on ps4.

 

[Metfanant]

The flinch needs to get fixed

Why? I mean..I would imagine it's difficult to keep a steady aim when you're being shot...and both players have to deal with it equally

 

[Giriath_89]

Can't play this when I often can't see enemies at even a medium distance, and I'm close to my TV.

DF will be interesting.

 

[JigglesBunny]

Having to make a new Xbox Live account just to play a beta without it crashing is one the most cumbersome and ridiculous things I've ever done and seen in my entire life. What a shit show, Treyarch.

The fact that Vahn has been so quiet speaks volumes.

Completely agree. It's useless to me now. Back to tempest I guess, 1 shot bs cheese ftw.

My impressions after playing the beta on PS4 thanks to a fellow GAF member "Masema".

- TTK is really low. If you don't kill in max 3 shots with any weapon you are doing something wrong. It has always been low, but now it's too low. Another person already posted this, I used to think some deaths were my fault or I could improve, now I don't. In objective modes there are way more kills overall than in previous games. As someone who only likes to play these modes its a huge letdown because the low TTK will attract people who farm kills and do not care about the objectives into these games.

- The most popular map on Bops 1 and 2 was Nuketown, then Hijacked, Summit, Firing Range. So do not complain about the size of maps, small maps have always been more attractive to the masses.

- The internet connection was good all the time. Always had green ping and never felt any of the issues some people mention. It can be for a variety of reasons like people in your area playing the beta, etc, but overall it felt great to me.

- It's way more colorful than past games. I'm OK with that, I like colorful games, but my brother and his friends said it looked childish (he's 16 haha).

- I didn't liked the specialist. While it adds something new to veterans and dedicated players, it feels "bloated" for casuals like me or my friends. One advantage of old CoD was that friends who do not play could do it, just grab the controller and start playing, The default classes were decent and now... well, I feel boredom just to think I have to explain all the specialist stuff to someone.

- Also it feels super weird that both teams use the same skins. Some customization needs to be added or at least different skins for both teams.

- Objective modes are still broken, people still care more about their K/D ratio than the W/L, people leave matches all the time so their K/D do not get worse if there is a good opposite team, you can still win more points for killing than for doing objectives, etc. I remember my little brother was bugging me 2 years ago in BlopsII because he had better K/D, then we checked our W/L: his was 0.20 and mine above 1 lol, but the game punishes people who pursue the objectives.

I have been dreaming some day these modes (Dom, CTF) get fixed but it will never happen (how can be fixed?: not counting K/D ratio on these modes and giving more points for objectives).

- The specialist powers are mini automatic kill streaks. Whenever I used the glitch it granted me a kill without merits. These powers are here just to increase the kill counts and to give everybody kills. Kills for everybody! should be their motto. I thought the specialist powers was going to be like the perks, defensive stuff. But I was wrong.

Well, overall it's feels like CoD, smells like CoD and looks like CoD. Just less friendly with newcomers (you have more to learn) and more aimed to veterans and people who just want kills kills and more kills.

Really

The visuals look the same to me minus the lower resolution which introduces some blur. Both systems hooked up to an Asus 23" monitor. It also feels like...CoD.

Is something wrong with me

 

[JumPeRJumPzZ]

I really dont know, im really trying to like the game on XboxOne. But im not having the same fun i had on PS4.

 

[AllIsOneIsNone]

I find the specialist abilities to be pretty cool, but some of them are way overpowered. I used overdrive the most though even though it's not one of the powerful ones, it's really fun to go fast as shit for a few seconds and demolish. More of them should be like that where they give you a boost of some sort but don't actually give you something that equals automatic deaths. I would have liked if they just made them more complex, maybe they could have been customizable with different combinations of ability boosts. Score streaks should also be toned down because the specialist abilities exist.

 

[Enordash]

I really dont know, im really trying to like the game on XboxOne. But im not having the same fun i had on PS4.

I'm feeling the same way. The game feels far more random on the X1.

 

[TestOfTide]

Shotguns are definitely the best weapons right now. The pacing of the game dictates that they are forcibly superior in most encounters, even on the waterfall map. You can't play too carefully (not camping) or you'll get spawned on from behind. If you try to rush or push, you'll be insta killed by shotguns.

Try using BOTH shotguns, then come back to us about how they are the best weapons in the game.

The KRM is a slow firing inconsistent pump action and the Haymaker just straight up sucks.

I especially want to hear your thoughts on trying out the haymaker since you said shotguns (plural) are the best and there are only two.

BTW, Not a huge fan of how they rebalanced rejack. They should have made specialist kills, headshot kills, explosive kills, and shotgun kills negate rejack. Basically give it the same weaknesses that second chance had in BO1.

 

[CantTrickMe]

Not sure why everyone seems to be having trouble with the game play or getting it to work. I hated AW but this one's toned down a lot. Not quite enough, but substantially. Im enjoying my time with it.

I'm on Xbox One and am not experiencing all the crashes and deadlocks that everyone seems to be complaining about.

So you're lucky, got it.

Just because you're not experiencing them doesn't mean problems don't exist. My friends and i (two nights in a row) have had the game freeze up a decent amount of times on xbox.

Late PS4 impressions, but let me just say that this game is so good once you rock a headset and learn the map hotspots. The traversal and combat movement also "clicks" with time, and I really can't wait for this to come out!
