I suffer the same since i'm in the middle east and we don't have servers...
Normally, we have the closest servers on Brazil, I don't know if this is still the case.
But it's common that COD has horrible ping.

I hope they improve the connection with the BR.

I play Groundwar 99% of the time but today when I logged in, my rank was set back to level 1 and then after a single game it went back to 63.
Very strange.
Had some epic games on the new Boneyard map and Verdansk, I think both are part of the BR map...
Had a game with 55 kills and 2 deaths on Verdansk.

Yeah, i'm still learning the superstore...seems legit, it is really colorful which enemy players can get caught up in the palet. Rust was just horrible the few times I've experienced it. I don't remember it being that way in vanilla.
It wasn't that way, I'm pretty sure it was a bigger map originally. I hate the look of it, I hate the layout of it and on top of that, it doesn't actually work. There are better more famous maps they could of revived.

Haven’t bought the season pass for season 2 yet. I don’t think I’ll even do that

CoD never learns. The most rich game with the most garbage servers. It baffles me how they still work with a host system and can’t provide decent servers although they got LOTS of money

Eh, I’ll be back with the BR though.

Random thoughts:

- they should create 2 new permanent playlists, one that has all the action focused maps in it and the other one with all the tacticool(tm) maps (picadilly and such shit) in it

-the new grau gun is AWESOME. Having a blast using it.

- rust is one of the best maps in this game, atlas superstore is also really cool, but I haven't had the chance to play it a lot

The more I play this game, the more I like it. Except picadilly, fuck picadilly.

Atlas superstore drains me of my super powers. I can absolutely ravage and destroy a match. I usually end up in the top of the scoreboard but something about Atlas that drains my ability to kill anyone. Literally pump a ton of rounds but nobody dies regardless of the guns I use.

At the end of the match they need a pop up asking player if they wish to stay in current lobby. The game is the worst for building a community. You find a sweet team that communicates, bam off they go into the void at the end of a match.

There also needs to be a preference for matchmaking locality, if nobody is playing the mode just tell me not found - don’t match me with fucking Wuhan and 150+ ping

Funny you hate picadily (rightfully so) but enjoy the campfest of Atlas Store. I hate them both equally. There's just too many camping spots in atlas.

what was the 50gb update for again?
they store all their shit in data files so when they change something you have to basically redownload the same files you already have even if its a minor change outside of gun values.
street fighter v does this too its super annoying redownloading 16GBs everytime.
recently with MW i had to basically redownload the whole game. i have no idea why but it was 153GBs.

picadily is some bullshit spawns around a circle. store sucks but its a 3 lane map. most of the maps are campfests because of systems, the game basically rewards camping vs rushing even more so then ghosts did.
I'm still out there rushing though. 👻

ever since that corrupted player data none of my games are being recorded into stats. my stats have basically frozen lol this game.

Just bought the game the other day, all installed on my PS4 as I am a filthy casual.

Any tips? Things I should know or do first before getting into the game?
Watch out for shotgun users, especially 725 players. On small maps they are a terror to deal with. And if they are shield users as well, good luck. They will hold the shield up until you get close enough and throw a knife at you faster than you can blink. The way to counter shield users are direct hits with thermites and semtex but the "skilled" shield users have a knife with the amped perk to throw knives at light speed lol

RPG users will seem OP at first but as soon as you use the EOD perk they are almost a non issue. Now if half the team are using it on a small map and play close together then it becomes an issue.

I can't speak on past CODs since this is the first I've owned, but this one is a campfest on certain maps. Any map that has plenty of buildings with windows, people will set up near a window with claymore covering their rears with the restock perk. That perk allows them to restock lethal equipment (frags, claymore, etc.).

Other than that, it's actually a good game. The best automatic guns overall are the MP5 and M4. They can be used anywhere unlike the other guns that are great on certain maps but almost useless on others because of range or aim down sight (ADS) speed.

You shouldn't be able to revive yourself in a team based BR mode. If that's the kinda bullshit we have to look forward to they've wasted everyone's time and their own money.

I'm with you on tht one. I love the adrenaline of knowing I can die at any moment and instincts have to kick it. Thts just pandering to noobs and ppl tht fucking cry thy never can win smfh.

Great summary. This could the BR experience I’ve been waiting for. A better looking, less janky PUBG, with less of the cartoony superhero...ness of Blackout.

I disagree. Firstly, you have to be able to sit up to patch yourself up (that sort of makes sense). Thus the mention of the wall.

2) I doubt you can do this in Solo since you can’t be revived to begin with.

3) One thing I hate is getting picked off by a sniper when I’m far away from my team. You just have to sit there and slowly bleed out. It sucks. Also, reviving yourself means you’ll be use as bait far less.

I’m more concerned about the rumors of 150 or 200 players. That sounds like absolute chaos and it means there will be even fewer wins to go around. I’d rather have that huge map with 100 people and actually have some choices between dropping in hot or dropping in quiet. But that’s just me.

The level is double the size of blackout so just having 100 would have you playing in a walking simulator if you don't drop at the same place as others. I think the 200 is alright given the size of the map.

Maybe. it looks like it’s about as big as the original PUBG map. The big difference though is the amount of massive buildings WZ has compared to PUBG. So you might be right.

I just envision lots of people getting nailed as soon as they hit the ground and the survivors just hugging the blue zone so they can be sure they’re not getting shot in the back.

Maybe but it depends. I play BR ganes alot like I'm sure you do based on our discussion and you know there's always two groups lol the ones tht go to the hot zones and end up dwindling the amount of players by dozens 😂 (those are the ones getting nailed asap)and the people like me that love to go to less populated areas and stay close to the edgeof the storm till like the last 15.

I'm excited for it but I understand your view as well.
 
The possibility of dismemberment when shooting enemies only being available for that LMG and shotty from the new character DLC pack, kinda sucks. I saw a cool vid of a guy getting his head and limbs blown off from this.
That should be available for all multi player guns by default.
TBH though, I would actually pay for DLC that enables gore on all weapons.

yeah I feel the same way myself. I kinda wish I could get a blanket gore dlc rather than this.

Oh Im pumped for it too. I bought MW recently just for BR. I’m not really even playing multiplayer. Just spec ops and campaign.

Core gameplay feels great. It’s just the amount of realism I’m looking for. And the map actually looks like a real place and doesn’t have that “video gamey” look to it that ALL the other BR games have.

I play cod since 2007 and this year was the first year I bought any kind of dlc for cod. I bought the battle pass for season 2. I just felt like unlocking more cosmetic stuff while I play a game I enjoy. It's only 10 bucks and offers me a a lot of customization. I never thought I'd do such a thing, but here I am. So at least on my end, Activisions strategy worked. Can't wait to see what they'll do with the BR mode.

I got tired of waiting for war zone and decided to try out MP.

It’s actually... really good. I mean it’s the camp fest everyone says it is and SBMM is a horrible horrible idea. But as long as I pick the right game modes (FFA, TDM, KC, GG) then I’m okay. Kill Confirmed is God mode for me. 3k+ score every match. Gunfight is good in theory but I suck waaaay too much for it.
Ill have to try hardcore modes later.

Gawd I wish they’d drop war zone already.

Been playing MW for a week ish now and it is so fucking fun.

My casual ass took it off crossplay after half a week of 5 good games, 5 terrible games every 10 I played and decided to see how much easier it was, my god was it easier.

PS4 players are so much easier than PC it is unbelievable, my first game with PS4 Users only I got a 16 killstreak compared to always getting no more than 8/9 with crossplay enabled.

I am just sticking with the AUG as it has been useful for me so far, anyone got any suggestions on the best guns to use?

I wish I could turn off crossplay, but I play with friends on Xbox and PC. I’m no match for PC players.
As for guns, I’ve really been digging the Carbine marksman rifle. I started using it to unlock the crossbow and now I’m definitely a fan.
