A lot of them are really great.
The maps actually play somewhat better with fewer players under the 4v4 Competition playlists. I'm enjoying Capture the Flag especially.
I love the Bull Charge, especially the chained screams over the mic after I come barreling around a corner and get a triple. The charge duration, while fun as fuck, kinda feels too long: I think I've managed to kill the same person twice a few times due to the long corridors/poor IW map design. People already learned to just jump over a charge though lol
I have those ports already open for my PS4 from BO3 and/or Destiny. The network performance hasn't been bad for the 25+ ranks of MP I've played, it's just when the game decides I should be host for a bunch of guys 500-1000 miles away in Canada and/or South America I can frustratingly tell. I normally just suffer through it and exit out after the game ends, but it's been so bad tonight.

I keep trying to sink 1-2 hours every night into iW MP and am really having a tough time due to the bad maps. I played 3 games of BO3 tonight and just had way more fun, even without nuk3town in the rotation.
Frontline is at least decent, since you don't respawn-and-instantly-die but have a pretty safe respawn spot and extra armor.
I dunno, I've tried giving the MP a huge chance but so far I'd honestly rather just play BO3 at this point. I find the classes (characters) better, I find the weapons better, I find the maps FAR FAR better, the camos are better, etc. I am struggling to think of one thing that is better in IW mp.
I was watching the race to prestige optic charity stream and someone donated and asked the same question to crimsix, the best he could come up with is "well, the pistols are all crap which means I never have to switch weapons which is great since I suck at that in BO3". Err... ok.
I was at Target today and noticed the season pass is $49.99 in store and online. Huh, I paid $99.99 for the digital deluxe and got the game, season pass, and Modern Warfare remaster so thats a great deal at least - woulda been $130 by my math, plus I did it during the period when PSN gave $15 back when you spent $100.
I look forward to playing the campaign next week though, that looks more like my thing.
Yeah it was exactly that!

If you don't have a Scuff/Elite type controller then you need to change your layout to something like bumper jumper.
You need to be able to boost jump without taking your fingers off the sticks. Also mapping jump to R3 is another option.
Ghost, Momentum, Dead Silence
FTL Slide, FTL Jump
Sprint everywhere, slide, hipfire into their chest
It's hot garbage if you actually try to kill anyone at a decent distance, but the boosted slide distance is fast and far enough to get you into range as long as you managed to get close enough before engaging.
FTL Jump constantly, it recharges super fast, is insanely disorienting, and can easily net you double kills if you blink behind two people
Hell, I just multitask between X and the right stick really rapidly, aiming and boosting in increments. Works sometimes. I'd do bumper jumper, but I need the bumpers for aim and shoot and I don't think I could adjust to jump on L2.
I've got FTL jump on 80% the time. I've got Ghost on 90% of the time. I boost and slide and jump all of the time. The issue is that even with these tactics, pretty much all of the other three shotguns are better, especially the Banshee. The Rack-9 just doesn't seem to operate like it's supposed to. The spread is tightened when you aim down sights, but that doesn't make much of a difference to range or damage. It's supposed to have superior damage to offset it's slower pump, but any benefit it has feels negligible compared to the Banshee, whereas the slower pump is very prominent.

So after the first couple days I sorta feel let down with the whole thing. The campaign was certainly fun and I plan on going back to it, but the multiplayer just feels like it won't have any legs. The hit detection issues might be apart of it but I really feel like it's all uninspired. If it weren't for Modern Warfare being there I would be missing my money right now, let's put it that way. I have to send my rental of Titanfall 2 back today and I definitely want that when it goes on sale. I've found that the fastest firing guns seem to be the most useful whereas any slow firing automatics always get me killed because the other person melts me first.

Got my first Epic drop: the Oni Kaiken. Man, is it poop. In the time it takes for this thing to charge up, I could melt someone with the regular Oni. This is really just a funny gun to use to mock people who can't acquire you as a target while it's charging up. And if you flub your shot, you're dead. In that way, it's a balanced version of the Marshall 16 from BO3. You can even run it guns akimbo, if you feel like it. Probably pretty hilarious to just run akimbo with laser sights.
It's probably pretty powerful in Zombies, especially with Double Tap and Sleight of Hand.
It's probably pretty powerful in Zombies, especially with Double Tap and Sleight of Hand.
From what I used of it in the Beta, it's pretty much a pocket sniper. Really hard to run by itself, but maybe good as backup for a Shotgun or SMG. Seemed to be a OHK on any part of the body and from any range, but yeah, the charge up time and need to reload after every shot kills it. Had a bit of fun running it akimbo + laser sights though.
It must be useless if even the fucking Banshee is better. That thing rarely manages a 1 shot kill at point blank.
The Banshee isn't necessarily better damage-wise (probably very slightly worse if you were to perform careful tests), but it pumps considerably faster, letting you pull off a follow up shot to get the kill. With the Rack-9, I've had it where I get the drop on a guy, he moves, I miss, and then in the time it takes to pump in the next shot, he realizes I'm there, turns around, and obliterates me from full health with an AR or something. It's soooo slow. It wouldn't be so bad if the range was better, but it really isn't. Not in any worthwhile capacity anyway.

Shotguns in these "advanced movement" CoD games are tough to get right. Black Ops 3 had a decent selection of lethal shotguns, but Advanced Warfare took ages to get its stupid sonic shotgun anywhere near decent. Infinite Warfare might see a similar problem.
No I didn't ask for it to be changed at all lol and we do still have the banner! ^.^
And it was 'Black Ops 3 In Space' before it was changed.
I wonder what happened, that is weird.
Sounds like sonic shotguns have bad track record and it's not getting any better right now.

I feel like bumper jumper is the next new default control scheme. I'm using evolved in titanfall which is veey similar. Only problem is that melee is a little harder to access.
The maps were huge in ghosts and it IW did the complete opposite and made the maps tiny. The game is just too chaotic for me and the reason why I finished most of my games like 5-20.
Every year in COD I always to try to get master prestuige and all the gun camos etc. Between the beta and the several hours I played this weekend this just isn't a game I want to invest my time playing. Sucks too because I do like COD. Guess it's back to BO3 for another year.

After a weekend with it... it's IMHO the worst COD ever. Such a shame the art direction and just overall look is so great. Plays like a hot dumpster fire online and the maps are horrid. Shame i need to keep the disc for MW :/
Exactly. I was an idiot and deleted BOIII for space when i installed. Will be reinstalling. It's crazy just how much better BOIII is... and i'm not a "huge" fan.

If you think IW is the worst cod ever, then you clearly haven't played all of the CoD's. Did you even play the campaign or zombies?
I loved BO3 and the game is just so much more enjoyable. I agree with you about the rest. It's almost like the MP was an afterthought with this game. I have said before I am by no means a great COD player but I can hold my own. Not in this game. No matter how I play or what do it's just me running into 2 or 3 guys at a time or getting shot from the back or side all game. I am in a rage 95% of the time when I am playing this game.
I am selling my legacy version today (I never installed the code for the terminal map or COD4) for 50 bucks. I am out 30 bucks but lesson learned about infinity war COD games.
Maybe I am in the minority but I 100% buy COD for the MP. I have been playing COD online since COD 2 came out. This is hands down the worst MP COD I have ever played and it's not close.
So I have no idea how accurate it is, but according to the CoD wiki, Infinite Warfare only takes place in 2080? Huh, would have assumed it took place in like 2100 or something.
Will very much disagree. IW is far better than Ghosts, and in some cases imho better than BO3.

I actually have had a great time with this game. I know this is subjective, but all the people saying this is the worst COD MP baffles me. I don't even want to play MW:R anymore, and that's honestly the reason I bought this. This game is just flat out fun to play.
Bumper Jumper Tactical (Jump L1 and Boost on R3) makes it so much better. Maps are fun, especially the smaller ones.
On a side note: Does Terminal work for everyone? It never seems to come up when I play. Is there something I am missing?

We do. I don't see anything at all that IW does better than BO3 (MP anyway) and this game actually makes me miss ghosts which I did enjoy far better than this game. I do hope you continue to enjoy the game though
I have yet to see pop up in Frontlines at all. Wonder if it's only in the 24/7 playlist.

I unlocked the akimbo sub machine gun last night and I've been wrecking shop in free for all. It sucks long range but I have a missile grenade that takes care of that. There are way too many people that have no idea how to deal with it. I'll often throw it at someone who's hiding behind cover and they'll refuse to leave cover. I'll admit I don't know what the charge mode on that grenade is, but the thing has been doing work for me.

So let me get this right: Infinite Warfare has NO anticheat AT ALL on PC?
This is just incomprehensible to me. Who made this call? Not even VAC? Not even Treyarch's anticheat which they have already made and is already working within the Call of Duty engine?
I honestly cannot get my head around this.

It's all subjective but I'm in the same boat. I was completely turned off by the setting, bought the game for MWR but now in completely hooked on IW. MWR is great but limited with only ten maps so I'll probably wait for the rest before really diving in, and spend more time learning the newest game instead. We're probably in the minority, I just hope it can retain its player base.
Also yes I think terminal is only for the 24/7 Playlist until they release it for everyone soon.
I'm having a great time with the MP as well. Glad there are a few of us at least, heh. Surprised myself that I played this game all weekend instead of MWR.
The only thing I'm missing now is a group of friends to play with each night. I'm starting to be able to get decent scores now but still get pub stomped when it's an obvious lobby of randoms against a squad. But when it seems to be randoms against randoms I do pretty well.
So looking for a group that would like to play nights, I get on around 7 to 7:30 CST every night (when the kids are put to bed). Looking for people to play Domination with as I prefer objective modes over TDM. I'll play both IW and MWR, doesn't matter which game to me or switch between the two. I'd also like to dabble in Zombies a couple times a week.
Anyone want to get a 'regular' group going? I don't care about skill level as long as you won't bite my head off when I have the occasional game where my bullets turn into peas and I go 3-20 or something like that. Just looking for a fun group.

Meaning TDM, FFA, Domination? I have played strictly TDM and Dom and have not seen it. Could just be unlucky. Lol.

No, under the featured Playlist section there should be a Terminal 24/7 Playlist where you only play that map with a variety of game modes.

Terminal is godawful for Domination, so I hope they fix it before they release it. As long as one team holds C and B, the team holding A will always spawn at or around the metal detectors, and that's an impossibly bad spawn to get out from. Meanwhile, the team holding C gets the entire 4/5ths of the map to spawn from, completely cutting off the team with the A flag unless they are really, really good at pushing out.
It's a garbage map for that mode, frankly. I think it's garbage in general, but I know some people won't agree.
Hey now.
I'm the opposite... already getting tired of MWR's MP since I've already 10th prestiged it back in the day and there's little to no incentive for me to play it again. IW at least has new maps, abilities, weapons, etc.
Dang, already? Can you say if Mission Teams keep going after level 50? Or is our salvage gain going to be completely stunted once we max them all?
While true, the flow/pacing of the matches are so damn flawed in IW that it completely takes away any enjoyment out of it, and I say this even when dominating a match. The whole thing feels like such a shit show, and I blame it entirely on the TTK. I literally jumped between a match of IW, MWR, BO3 and AW to compare and the difference is staggering. It doesn't feel satisfying to shoot players down, and firefights seem more random then anything, even when looking back at the killcams. The whole thing just feels off, and while I have been trying to get into it, I think it's time to cut my losses and invest my time on the shooters I am neglecting in it's place.

I am convinced that this game and several other call of duties set the delay to the server differently for different players. That's why sometimes it feels like you get the drop on everyone and can kill players easily, maybe once in a dozen matches the game actually feels like other players can't react to you.
Then much of the rest of the time you get hit markers and instant death and inconsistent killcams because its giving the other players in the match that lower delay.
I feel like they do this to drive the "slot machine" mentality and even out skill gaps among players. The thrill of being the top scorer and getting killstreaks highlights the frustration of matches where the hit detection and network delay is totally nonsensical.
Although I feel like this might have been proven by now if it existed. This is just anecdotal from how I have experienced most call of duty games since 2009.
