Call of Duty: Modern Warfare/Warzone - shutting down September

I just get so frustrated. My win/loss is about to fall below .9. I go positive most games but somehow end up with useless teammates in every mode. I run into groups of 3 players on the other team who are clearly working together. One guy has a flash, the other a stun, and they just spend the entire game farming kills off my teammates.

SBMM just thinks I am so good at the game for some reason, but why does it keep putting me on the losing team?

I needed 2 HQ wins for a mission and after 12 games I couldn't get 1.

I just feel like I'm playing the CPU in an EA Sports game. I have zero control over the outcome.
 
If you haven't tried the riot shield on Shipment, give it a try, especially on objective modes. Tons of fun and actually effective in modes like Dom where you have to hold flags. Use the throwing knife as your lethal and take a pistol. You get points for just getting shot at.

I do better with this than actually trying to shoot people with guns. :)

It’s tough playing HQ solo especially when you get brain dead teammates. Happens to me a lot solo as well I go against good teams while I only have one or two good teammates and the rest are getting smoked consistently or not playing the objective in objective modes.
 
The match making really isn’t bothering me much because I can still hold my own. My problem is the spawns. No matter the mode or map these spawns are f***ing terrible.
 
TTK is brutal, love it. Currently jsing the AUG and it feels good.

The Aug is really underrated. People love the MP5 but the Aug is great as well.

Try playing a bunch of COD then jump right into BF V :laugh: It shows how bad BF V is right now.
 
Played a bit last time and it actually wasn't bad. Spawns can definitely be bad. Obviously there's still super bad like being shot within 2 seconds or so, but I consider it bad even within that 5-10 range. Like you can't even get your bearings straight and if it's the same spot over and over. Obviously enemies are already in that area and have an idea where you're spawning so they pop a tent and head glitch your ass coming around a corner. Then there was a match last night. I don't remember the exact scenario but I think in Dom we had B and had started taking one of the others. I head there to help, kill one or two guys, then all of a sudden the entire team spawns and I get Robocoped. Like thanks for spawning them all right there.

And yea the Aug has been one of my favorites since day one. I think it's my highest tiered gun right now so have pretty much all I want unlocked on it, which isn't much. I usually keep guns simple with maybe a foregrip for control, longer barrel, and at least on the Aug the 5.56 rounds. Might have a different stock as well otherwise I've given up on sights. ADS time is king in this game, especially as it seems hip firing from 3 feet away doesn't seem to do anything for me.

Also MW and I tried that snowball fight game and won the only match we tried lol. The punching in that seems broken. I'm smashing the button and nothings happening while the other team is kung fu chopping me to death. We brought that s*** back and won on the match point though.

Don't like the MP5 at all.

Don't even have my xbox set up to try bf5
 
Just no logic to the spawns it’s so random. There can be a enemy right next to you or multiple enemies in the area it will still spawn you there. Most of my deaths come from the s*** spawns. It gets so frustrating sometimes.

You can really see all that in Hardcore modes. Times I’ll shoot first get hit markers and they kill me instead. Shot around corners as well.
It’s becoming more and more frequent. Wasn’t like that in the beginning. They must be using less dedicated servers, or since there’s more players, there’s more p2p matches.

The problem is that all the kids who grew up with the braindead wall running super magic COD games of recent years want this.

These kids want a spawn camping mess. They want an XP farm and any game or map that you actually move for 2 seconds is "too slow". They hate classic COD maps like Vacant because they can't spawn trap it.

What's weird is I have not seen the netcode issues like in past games. The big problem I run into is people who are freakishly good. The problem for me is the SBMM. One lobby I have people who shoot at me first and miss, the next I'm getting people who jump shot around corners and headshot me.

It is like the system doesn't quite work, so it bounces me between top tier lobbies and middle tier ones. Watch your kill cams, sometimes people are just inhumanly good.

I think the system shelters the Xmas noobs and throws players like me who are reasonably good into the most difficult lobbies.

My win/loss has fallen to .9 and my k/d is .93. I'm not even breaking even out there.

I'm a xmas noob and I get destroyed like 1 in 3 games, so no sheltering going on here. Kind of funny how my level 19 noob skill is just as good as level 120+ player skill.

It doesn't run off level, but actually tries to figure out your skill. What the game really does though is if you go positive a few games in a row, it throws you into a lobby you have zero chance to compete in. You're not a "noob", just low level, so it puts you in a much higher skill bracket. What is worse is you don't even have vital perks unlocked yet like Ghost so you probably have very little chance in these lobbies.

The system is just horribly flawed, as it will change based on as little as 2-3 games. You can easily get on a good roll and end up going against really good players. It seems to factor in score as well, so if you're doing things to help your team (which as a long time gamer you probably are), that gets factored as your "skill". Shoot down a lot of UAVs with your launcher? That's "skill" to the system. Even though the launcher is basically an instant lock on fire and forget.

Why wont the damn juggarnaut die. I'm throwing flash bangs, grenades, and shooting him in the face with an incindiary shotgun and he will not die.._and why does he only run after and target me

That part is annoying. Just keep running back and shooting, picking up what you can. You can usually weave your way back through the map and pick up grenades.

Finished the campaign and it was alright.Not sure why there was so much controversy surrounding it, though.

Using a new gun in MP, called The Purist. Think it came from the battlepass. I'm liking it, though.Decent movement speed for an AR and decent ADS speed aswell.

I thought the campaign was overrated IMHO. The sections where you have to clear the house were the most fun.

Playing around with the various attachments and finding weapons that work for you is the best part of the game. There's some really crazy attachments as you unlock things on some of the guns though. There's higher level sound suppressors that give you all the pluses of a silencer and increase damage. Guns like the Mp5 are pretty plain until you get 10mm magazines which increase damage plus a silencer on it that doesn't hurt your damage.

There's also setups for the Kilo and M4 that basically can eliminate most recoil completely which is kind of nuts.

The skill based matchmaking is the big killer for me. I jump into a game like Battlefront 2 and just play and have fun. In this game though I get put into these impossible lobbies with people who can laser headshots from across the map. I thought getting my teeth punched in for awhile would knock me down to a lower tier, but it doesn't seem to. For me it isn't lag or cheaters, I'm just regularly against top tier players even through I'm barely above average in these games anymore (I'm pushing 50 FFS).

Yeah, I just don't have enough attachments unlocked yet.

Does this game still have the prestige feature? If so , what do you get for prestiging?
 
Is there a way to get more custom classes than just the 5 slots? If so I or no one I know has figured it out.

I don't think so, I hear people asking for it a lot on Reddit. I wish there was, as there's need for a lot more with all the various modes.

I like being able to change up stuff mid game but I would still like more slots to set up for different game types and situations.
 
It's season based now. Max level is 155. At the end of each season, it resets back to top base level, which is 55 (i think).
That is lame. Why take away something everybody liked.

Do you have an activision account? Need one to set up cross platform friend list.

People seem to like the way this is done. Personally, I think it's excellent. You can level up and unlock seasonal content now if you want.

Yeah I have an Acti account although I'm not 100% sure what the ID is. Try 'dvant' ?
