Anyone know if the beta going to open up for everyone to dl and play like happend on ps4? I really want to try the game on pc.
 
this game feels soooo much better than AW. the maps and spawns (from what I've played) are waaaaaaay better than Ghosts' too, but Ghosts still has the god tier netcode/hit detection.

Anyone else feel like the X1 beta was a mistake? Playing both builds it feels like they are a generation apart. I was telling my X1 friends how the hit detection was great and how well the game played while the PS4 beta was running. Now that they have played the X1 beta they think I'm crazy.

Obviously the X1 version will improve a lot before release but this was a hell of a first impression.

Maybe im missing how "good" the PS4 beta due to the 4 day break before i tried the x1 beta...

I feel like i am the crazy one here. Outside of the resolution...it feels like CoD to me.

Did they already announce if the PC beta will be opened after some time like the PS4 one?
Would like to test if my PC can run it decently enough.

So I got Rejack and now I'm going 4 - 5 ratio every game, it's very strong, too strong really. I really like a suggestion on Reddit where it just stops you losing your killstreak, instead of letting you res like The Undertaker. It probably cuts away at least 5 deaths per game, and turns them into kills, and that's in KC.

Yep I'm passing this year. I really want to see what IW is doing now that they got their old multiplayer lead designer from COD4-MW2 back. I just can't stand Treyarchs love for 3 lane linear maps. Everything is great apart from the maps.

wasnt it just like a map designer from back in the day that they got back?

This game runs like shit on my PC.. have proper specs. i5 4590 - Gigabyte Z97X Gaming 5 - MSI GeForce GTX970 - 8GB RAM

Changed the settings but makes no difference.. Xbox One beta runs fairly smooth

The FPS aren't the problem. I get 80-90 FPS constantly (over 100 sometimes).. with all graphics maxed out.
But there is a constant microstutter.. it's just not smooth.

I also downgraded the graphics.. but it doesnt make any difference.. poorly optimized game!

Yea, they upped the level cap and added in that new map. As well as adding the game mode, Uplink.



You really want people to notice you, don't you?
New lvl and you can also get the Reaper specialist

I am destroying people with a shootgun on Combine and Strongjold, went 27-4

My comparison of the current state of the last three CoD multiplayer.

Map Flow/Movement: Black Ops 3 Beta > AW <> Ghosts (AW is too chaotic, Ghosts is campy slow; pick your poison).

Spawns: Ghosts > Black Ops 3 Beta > AW (each has their own bad spawn, but I've compared it in frequency to each game)

Hit Detection: Ghosts > AW > Black Ops 3 Beta (Treyarch still can't get this part right but I'll hold final judgement until the game actually releases)

Guns: Black Ops 3 Beta > Ghosts > AW

played it today on pc a few matches can already tell i dont like it. glad i didnt buy this would have been 3 years straight of disappointment.
 
gratz dude wowzers

Why are you posting scoreboards from the PS4 beta again?

Maybe he felt he didn't get the recognition he deserved the last 5 times he posted/mentioned it :p

CoD is all about the size of your e-peeeee.....one person posts how they did really well and than someone feels the need to go one better.

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

Feels the same to me too man. Played ps4 and Xbox one, obviously X1 is lower red but it plays and feels like cod.



Your name in game is familiar, either I played against you or I've seen your screenshot that much I've tricked myself into thinking I've played against you.
 
they finally have the wall running alongside the double jump now but the movement is still not quite as smooth as it was in titanfall. that game maneuvered like a dream tbh.

but still this is really fun. might not cop this year because of battlefront but still i'm loving the specialist thing they got going on here and the gunplay is good as usual.

Has treyarch commented on the games many many server and optimization issues? This ran worse than the BF4 beta, and we all know how that launch went.
