[Olengie]

Loved the WaW maps myself and that one had only 1 dedicated CQC map

 

[TaKeRx]

Pre-ordered this digitally via XBL and have a message stating I can "download the beta now in preparation for September 1st" but there's no link to anything. Where am I supposed to find it?

I'm in the same boat. Come on MS!

 

[Gerdav]

I'm in the same boat. Come on MS!

Search “Call of Duty WWII” in the store and the beta will show up in the results, just to add for me anyway you had to do it on the one, it didn’t show up by searching in the app.

Found it! Thanks so much

 

[Complicated]

So I guess shotguns with rifle rounds(slugs) are amazing and make shotguns actually useful. Because of this, I'm expecting a nerf.

It's not quite as glorious as this.

God I would love to have guns like that again. Wrecking people in CoD2 was so fun.

Cheers. I tried looking through the store at the game options and didn't see it.

So after complaining on an xfinity message board about them not getting codes out during the first beta weekend as advertised, a rep PMed me a code. I had already signed up through my xfinity account and my parents account and finally received emails for two codes I no longer need.

I expect they will be redeemed less than a minute after I post, so enjoy!

[m_shortpants]

Fuck, I can't play this without a color blind option.

I literally have no idea who is who and just keep running into enemies. After playing MW:R it was so much more noticeable.

Thankfully it looks like they're adding that this weekend?

 

[Gorillaz]

next time put that in an email tag so not just lurkers can get it

I guess it doesn't matter shit is free now anyways right?

 

[kuYuri]

Nope, it's not an open beta.

 

[legacyzero]

So this isn't open until tomorrow right?

 

[M.W.]

So this isn't open until tomorrow right?

I think it's private all weekend.

 

[Cake Boss]

wow walmart actually sent me a code.

Does the beta have HDR on? anyone know?

 

[RS4-]

yes.

I haven't tried it without though to see if there was any major differences

 

[ryan299]

Mostly sticking to war mode bc the maps are crap. The new one is bad also.

 

[Daffy Duck]

Nope, no plans to open the beta up I read.

 

[jorgejjvr]

Looking forward to trying domination now with the changes

 

[JigglesBunny]

Coming from the PS4 Pro version to the Xbox One version... yeesh.

This is getting 1X support, right?

 

[Toa TAK]

I am LOVING these cheesy-ass recruitment videos. Nice touch.

 

[Jamaro85]

5 GB left on the DL. Lets goooo.

Was just gonna say "I hope they open the servers up a day early," then checked Twitch and see people streaming it. LETS GOOOOOOOOOO!

Edit: I see someone playing a map called Aachen. New maps?!

 

[funcojoe]

It's very very very subtle hdr.

 

[Jimnymebob]

I'm not sure if I'm enjoying this to be honest. The maps all seem small so far (I always preferred large maps: Arkaden? from MW3 is my favourite of the series), and the spawns are a bit crap.
Also, it may be because I'm a bit rusty (I've not played since Blops 2), but I'm just getting wrecked here. I was never a CoD prodigy, but I usually went positive, or at least an even k/d ratio. On this I'm killing a lot, but dying double the amount.

 

[Jessie.Bristol]

Holy hell, still haven't received an e-mail with a Beta Code. The Check Status section of their website doesn't want to give me a code either. Seems to be a common problem going by Activision's Twitter support and their COD Forums.

It's the map design, since blops 1 it's gone downhill to accommodate the 10 year olds who run in circles all day.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

Did they add new maps, modes, and weapons this round?

 

[Fjordson]

Dumb question: If I got a code last weekend and played the beta can I play this weekend? Or do I need a new code?

I'm assuming I can, but just in case.

I enjoyed Blops 2, but morseo the bigger maps like the nightclub one with the dubstep room, and the farm, rather than Nuketown and Hijack. If they're gonna do a small map, make it tiny like Rust.

 

[Jake2by4]

Aachen aka Downturn.

yes, it's fine

Not dumb, I was wondering the same. Just tried it and it works fine.

So you don't need PS Plus to play this on PS but you do need XBox Live Gold to play on XBox? Why oh why.

 

[groansey]

In the minority here but I like Aachen. There is space to breathe, there are corners to lurk in.

It's the best map of the beta.

 

[Toa TAK]

Good-bye forever advanced movement.

 

[Zasa]

Wow, they really removed Ardennes for Aachen? Ffs.

 

[JigglesBunny]

Agreed. Wish they would've kept Ardennes too though.

 

[brawly]

It sounds weird but I vastly prefer the Xbox One graphics over the PS4 Pro. Just easier to spot people.

 

[Doombear]

Wow, they really removed Ardennes for Aachen? Ffs.

What? That is confirmed? I assumed it was added, not a one to one replacement... ugh. I really don't like Aachen so far. Feels entirely different depending on which end you start on too.

 

[Saucycarpdog]

My god SMG's are easily the best weapons next to snipers. Everything else is miles behind.

I tried using M1 Garand at a distance but just kept getting outplayed by snipers.

 

[Zasa]

Yup for sure, & it's incredibly easy to spawn trap as well. Head glitches in this game are insane & numerous. It's also easy to hold down B & A in Aachen

 

[JigglesBunny]

Some Xbox One screens...

The dithering is off the charts. I'm guessing dynamic resolution, mostly 900p? Looks really rough on my 4K display especially compared to the PS4 Pro version.

 

[Triscuitable]

Good-bye forever advanced movement.

Until people get sick of BOTG and beg for something fresh and new.

The cycle will continue for eternity.

ARs are pretty good

I was enjoying them until I started running into some good AR players. Personally I think ARs are better since they can keep SMGs at range, and with quickdraw you have a chance against them up close.

 

[Creaking]

Wow, that's bad. I guess this game is designed to sell Xbox One X's

 

[SDCowboy]

So is there anything new for War yet?

 

[tj hazuki]

Can anyone hook me up with an xbox one beta code? Would appreciate it.

 

[Toa TAK]

I wish I could break the cycle.

I'm so happy to be back to normal.

How's the IQ compare to Infinite Warfare on Xbox? Infinite Warfare had one of the best IQ's of any game I've played on Xbox thanks to the TAA, dynamic resolution and reconstruction. Or is it more like Modern Warfare Remastered, which has one of the absolute WORST IQ's of any game on Xbox.
I thought at this point every title would take the best technology from the previous.

 

[SDCowboy]

Is the added content in yet? I have yet to see a new map.

edit: nvm I just got one.

 

[iRAWRasaurus]

Anyone know what the ! mark next to primary weapon is when you are using a division with another type of weapon? (for example Mountain division with a smg)

edit: Also in the full game, can you change the axis uniform? Or is it only allies uniform that you can set?
