Tried the new map. This game has the worst netcode ive seen all year. I cant do anything. Literally nothing. Even when I know exactly where they are.

Yup. One game I had the highest KD ratio in the match and the very next match had the lowest. It didn't just feel like I was 1 second behind everybody to the server connection, I actually was.
This is definitely the pre MW2 engine and it's fucking awful.

 

[Jessie.Bristol]

My impressions so far of the Beta, the hit-detection is straight garbage. You can have lobbies where you will do great and then the next match against the same people, it will be like you have a nerf gun. Played plenty of games where people just eat shots and then insta-kill me. Another gripe is the Aim-Assist. It's terrible. You basically need Auto-Rotation on. I don't like it on and have it disabled. It's so stupid when you see people in the Kill-Cam ADS and then the gun locks onto you. That isn't competitive, that is just allowing the game to do half the work for you.

 

[giancarlo123x]

In my first match I've played I have heard more homophobic slurs and racism than anything else I've played all year combined. Never grow up cod fans. The gameplay itself is the usual, silenced smg is way too good.

 

[BananasWithGuns]

I wish they could hot fix the SMGs or something.

That weapon class has single handedly ruined the beta.

 

[Whompa02]

I heard the maps suck and if there's still kids screaming into the mic then I'll just pass completely...

Only thing I care about is the single player so maybe I'll grab it when it's on sale, if the story is even good.

Yeah it's fucking awful. I'll put a magazine into someone, and nothing. But then I get like 2-shot.

Then I watch the replay, and it will show me maybe getting 2-3 shots off, somehow barely within 5 feet of the target. I mean, seriously? lol

I haven't played an unmuted match of COD in literally years lol. I don't know why you'd put yourself through it.

 

[Lionheart1827]

I consider myself a pretty competent COD player, with a near 1:1 KD ratio over the course of many COD games, but I am TERRIBLE at this game for some reason. I'm not sure what it is, maybe I just suck now. The aiming feels odd for some reason and the game was choppy. It's probably that I just suck now, but something about the game is off for me.

Its most likely the aim assist, doesnt seem to be prominent in sledgehammers CODs. I had the same issues with Advanced Warfare but I chalked it up to being hard due to the exo suit boosting and all the verticality.

I usually crush in COD games, but this game and advanced warfare I had a rough time with.

I'm not sure it's the aim assist. Again, I think it's latency.

In the first beta, I was pretty good. In this beta, I can't move without getting mowed down, and apparently my bullets don't do anything half the time.

 

[-SG]

Not really feeling it. I'm thinking of cancelling my E3 preorder but I'm wondering if it's worth keeping for the single player campaign. Is there any info about that yet?

It's latency, and it's been around forever. That feeling of immediately dying, when on their screen they shot at you for seconds. I actually only played Hardcore in Black ops 1 because of it. That way I didn't have to see kill cams. It was the only way to keep my sanity.

 

[SDCowboy]

Ok this latency has me about to give up on the beta. There are times where I must be an entire 1+ seconds behind. It's absurd.

 

[Olengie]

I'm glad Bouncing Bettys are back.

 

[Perineum]

WTF happened from beta 1 to beta 2? They god damn ruined it.

This new map is TRASH.

Hit markers have no consistency.

Lag.

Kill cams of impossible nature.

Everyone is jumping like a fucking idiot now.

....I'm fairly tempted to cancel my god damn pre order now. Had 0 fun in the 10 matches I played.

 

[Jake2by4]

Killcams having no blood when you shoot a enemy is jarring. Gives the assumption that you never fired a shot.

 

[The Freeman]

Think I'm going to stick with Titanfall 2

 

[Gorillaz]

I knew this answer would come and I'm prepared for it.

Yes, it was a thing back then, but now it seems easier and deadlier as ever before, almost like intentional. And it wasn't implemented intentional back then. Now it seems it's the only reason for picking a sniper rifle in the first place.

And yes, jump firing was also a thing. But only because some people thought it would help them killing people. Never had the feeling it helped them much. Some people did it on purpose, some spontaneous as reaction when someone came around the corner out of know where, many haven't done it at all.
Now, this is literally build in as a feature.
Again, intentional and that's the problem. They encourage you to do it.

This game has been the same as it's been since MW2/BO1 with changes to make spawns closer and maps more open in routes aka shit maps. Everything else has been the same.

So many people talking about QS, latency and the like as if the games haven't been this in the past decade. I guarantee if COD4 was released as it was in 07 people would say the same thing about it like they do like every other modern cod.

The Placebo effect is real

 

[SDCowboy]

lol Same. Sometimes it's my only saving grace in a round.

The first beta won me over (eventually) but my time with it today has been dog shit.

I did just put it down to a bad set of rounds and coming from playing Battlefield 1 all week since, but it's interesting to see other people notice it's worse today. I couldn't put my finger on why.

 

[TimeEffect]

The community in TF is like at 20K on Xbox, right? Because of the EA Access.

Damn Sony.

Oh my experience has been FAR worse than the first beta.

 

[GravyButt]

Wow the quick scoping is unreal in this. Probably not buying because of it. Oh and ttk is way to fast

 

[SDCowboy]

I just lost a gunfight, with me trained down signs locked on him, vs him hip firing at me...

 

[i HeaR MusiC]

Not sure what everyone was expecting from this game. It feels like CoD pre Advanced Warfare. Maps have been this same 3 lane structure since I can remember. Latency has always played a huge role in gunfights which leads to going 30-5 in one game and 20-19 in the next. My only complaint with the game is the hitmarkers and weapon balance which i think will both be fixed at some point. I'm really enjoying the beta and it feels like classic cod(Cod4 to Bo2). I'd really like to know what some of you were expecting.

Also hate how you can't really hear footsteps and the call outs making it obvious when you're sneaking up on someone.

 

[sugarman]

Black Ops 2 will remain unbeaten it seems.

 

[JigglesBunny]

I'm going to have to be that guy this year that goes to bat for COD, aren't I?

 

[SimpleCRIPPLE]

Sweet Lord, the latency is horrendous today. I'll empty a magazine into someone, and nothing. Then they, on my end, two shot me.

It was pretty terrible on X1 in the games I played. Literally people warping around in front of me at longer distance. And then yes, what you mentioned - I unload a clip and nothing, other times I barely walk into their frame of view (from my POV) and I fall over dead. Killcam then shows my opponent getting off 5 or 6 shots in me, when it only registered 1 or 2 on my end.

 

[Aumann]

From the looks of the beta, this game is a nope for me.

The maps feel uninspired, the weapons feel weak, the sound effect quality is subpar, and the latency is infuriating. The game feels boring and dull.

I'll be skipping this one folks.

No joke. Some lag here and there is one thing. But this latency is another beast all together. I've also had it where on my end I was just peaking a corner, and getting one shot. I watch the replay, and it turns out I was somehow completely out in the open getting loaded with bullets.

Or my favorite is still when the replay shows me my shots being like 5 feet off target, like the enemy wasn't even close to where he showed on my screen.

 

[Little Old Man]

I really need to get on this beta. Need to know whether to keep my pre order or sell it on.

 

[Silent Hill]

Feels like these maps weren't even tested. They're so bad.

I agree. The maps are terrible.

 

[friskykillface]

War will be the MVP of the game when it releases, shit is addicting to me so I hope there's at least 5 different maps for that mode

The other maps are meh at best, that new London one released today was alright

War is absolutely amazing. The only reason I'm playing trash TDM is because I can't stand playing the same map forever. lol

Have they said how many War maps there will be at launch?

Pretty easy to get a code in the code begging thread right now.

 

[kuYuri]

War mode seems ok, seems rushed with the voices at the end of each win or loss which cheapens the mode compared to bf1.

Map design is horrendous so far, why are all modern cod games maps mostly circles?!

Castle from Waw, not a circle and had plenty of open distance views
Airfield, again not a circle shape at all and big
Cliff side, same again
I could go on...

Give me Waw remastered or MW2, cod maps should not be quake maps.

Be sure to not mention those "circle" maps that are in WaW though, like Courtyard and Roundhouse. Those totally would just make your complaint look ironic and hilarious.

This game has been the same as it's been since MW2/BO1 with changes to make spawns closer and maps more open in routes aka shit maps. Everything else has been the same.

You can melt people with steady aim on the type 100. no ads required.

 

[SDCowboy]

I'm not sure, but I hope they are dedicated to it and give it new maps during map packs.

 

[Kalentan]

I will say I am more conflicted about this CoD than I was before.

After BO3's and IW's betas, I couldn't wait to get my hands on the full games! Even in the case of IW's negative reception to the beta, I still enjoyed it.

I played some matches of WWII and then switched over to IW and the difference is honestly quite big. IW just feels so much more refined and rewarding. Despite their being a lot more going on, I feel like I have room to both breathe and not getting too frustrated. It's not perfect but honestly I'm hesitating.

I've bought every CoD since MW2 at launch day and since BO3 I've gotten the big editions with the Season Passes.

Yet now I'm not sure. There are elements I enjoy to WWII. I think I will need to see what Sledgehammer does after release.

Cause honestly? Only IW has done really good post-launch support who actually actively engages in their community.

 

[SDCowboy]

Can I just say how satisfying the bouncing betty and Molotov kills are? lol

 

[SDCowboy]

I put the silencer on the SMG, and took off the sight, and it's a total game changer. With how many paths there are, I feel the silence and not showing up on the map is a must.

 

[BananasWithGuns]

I guess the MG 15 can be okay sometimes.

I've been now in customer support chat with comcast for 1.5 hours just to get my fucking beta code that should have been delivered last week.......I don't get it, how fucking hard is it to hand someone a damn beta code

A BETA CODE!!!!!!!!!

You're wasting your time go to the beta code beging thread. What system are you on I posted 4 codes for ps4 and as far as I can tell nobody claimed any of them.

Got one thanks. Didn't have my PS4 around last weekend so I missed out on it, only just used my preorder one tonight.

 

[Orochinagis]

SMG class is gonna dominate the multiplayer, what a surprise.

Also how on earth do you use the bazooka to take down UAVs? I always hit to high or to low

 

[Olengie]

lol Same. Sometimes it's my only saving grace in a round.

Wish I can carry multiple though

 

[SDCowboy]

Wish I can carry multiple though

Eh, the game would be unplayable if people could litter the ground with them. lol

I just put them in areas where multiple paths cross.
