There is something wrong with your servers when PUBG runs better than your team death match. Just saying.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare/Warzone - shutting down September
- Thread starter Frozpot
- Start date
Two very different gamemodes. Nice try.SBMM doesn't work though. All it does it keep the really bad players in their own protected bracket. People like me who are decent get thrown into the upper tier lobbies.
My actual K/D for the past week on the stat page is .79. .79 FFS!
There's something more interesting on this though. Playing TDM against console only, I'm a .93. that's the SBMM keeping me even.
Now let's bring PC players into the mix regularly.
Console players stand no chance against mouse and keyboard regulars.
Four games tonight. One win. There were six of us left at final circle. I was like, “Oh s***. I hope nobody is running behind me.” Somebody was parachuting in from off a building. I got him. Another guy ran from someone to behind a rock and he was right in line where I was crawling. Then the guy that was trying to kill him tried to shoot me with a launcher and missed. Game over...
Is Activision even caring about Warzone. Their decisions and lack of updates on meaningful things is just dumb.
Why increase the the time before ring closes? Never seen anybody ask for it and just slows down what is supposed to be a fast pace BR.
The armour satchel. WTF! Increases armour helld to 8, but comes with no armour. Doesn't fix enemies not dropping armour on death....which is dumb as f***.
Done nothing to RPGs. Done nothinhg with weapon balancing. Done nothing to shake up the meta. Done nothing to the garbage audio. Still haven't added duos. Done nothing to the dumb sit on a rooof in downtown issue.
I really don't get it.

They’ve really dropped the ball with Warzone. I expected more changes, fixes, and new stuff by now.
They really have. there is so much that has needed changing since day 1. For me the big things are....
1. Weapon balancing - Fire rate is king and if it isn't an M4, MP7 then it isn't worth using. They are way too easy to control and render slowe higher calibre weapons far less viaable.
2... Tthe audio...fiootstp audio is garbage, can't hear people a foot away.
3....OHK snipers. You have to make these far harder to use, or add a counter to the loott pool.
4.....Downtown has way too many rooftops and they need scaling back.
5....RPGS do too much damage to sooldiers. Needs a massive reduction.
I also thing vehicles need fuel consumption.
There are plenty of good players that prefer other ARs so I don't think its quite that bad. I definitely think the GRAU is better than the M4
My set up is one class I use Kilo and AX-50. My other class I use MP7 and FR. with more round mags on all guns.
Bigger mags are aa must. I switcheed bck to xbox andd being stuck with 30 round mags is a nightmare.
I also started recently leveling up the PKM in MP so I can try that out in Warzone. A couple buddies love using that thing with the right attachments.
I don't play much Warzone so not sure if it is much different but in the main game, ARs feel really well balanced now. The M4 is still used a lot but not overpowered at all. Just about every AR is really strong now: Kilo (the Kilo has been better than the M4 for a few nerfs now), M4, M13, Scar, Grau, Ram7, AK are all good. Fal is the only gun that is just terrible. The Famas is just really inconsistent for some reason. When it is a 2 burst kill it is good but seems like sometimes takes an extra for no reason. The Oden seems off again like they stealth nerfed it but it isn't awful.
The problem with snipers is they were supposed to add bullet drop to the game, but if it is there at all it is barely noticeable. More bullet drop like in Battlefield would make getting headshots take more skill. There's also a lot of people using those mouse + fb adapters that mimic a controller, so they get a mouse + autoaim as if they are using a controller. They can basically god tier flick shot people.

I had a decent PKM build. Not sure I remember it all....Suppressor(the one with no ADS penalty, snatch grip, monacle sight, Stippled grip tape, can't recall the barrel.
Decided to get this game on sale since BF5 is dwindling. And really enjoying it more then I thought. Haven't played properly since MW3 (think I played ghosts a bit). The amount of content we get is pretty cool, a decent SP campaign that looks amazing with some cool missions, and all the spec ops missions which are a ton of fun with a group of friends.
It really is the best COD in a long time. Really the big gripe is the very strict skill based matchmaking.
Expect to never, ever improve online, because the SBMM will constantly match you with players as good or better than you.
Nah
You’re right about it being the best COD in a long time.
you’ll ’re wrong about the SBMM. You just suck...
Skill based matchmaking is nowhere near as bad when it first launched. My KD in MP stays around a 1.30 and my KD in Warzone was a 1.20 but after 4 man squads launched I’m down to a 1.10. I have no problem going positive in almost every MP match I play now.
I've been cemented in a k/d of .94-.95 since the day the game launched to today. It is bizarre. It simply doesn't move. It isn't just now where it is hard to move the numbers because I've been playing so long. It was like that early on. It is like the game decided that these are my stats and I can't change them.
It isn't even about the number as much as the fact that it never, ever moves. Instead, it is the SBMM moving behind the scenes to make sure I stay exactly where the game slotted me.

What game types and KD matches do you have? I’ve always played a lot of objective modes with less TDM. I can have 20+ kill with only around 10 death matches regularly. Then when I go against a good team in a close game I’ll only go a couple kills positive or about even. I very rarely have major negative death matches.
I am mostly TDM so that might be part of it. The problem is I hate playing objective modes when most people ignore them. I do like that deathmatch dom mode where it rewards kills and flags more equally (and represents how everyone actually plays anyway).
I jump into the small map playlists though and I do even worse.
See I find TDM to be the worst mode in this game because of the maps. Unless you’re playing the smaller maps there are just too many places to camp and it’s tough to get a high kill count above deaths because you’re forced to move then you get killed by campers you don’t see.
Objective we play a lot of Dom, HQ, and Kill Confirmed. I’ve also played the 10 v 10 lately it’s good on some maps. When it comes to the small map playlists you just got to run and gun, be quick, and run the higher kill streaks.
TDM is very campy but I've adjusted to that pretty well. The perk that lets you wallhack claymores and other gadgets is great.
Plus in TDM if a group gets set up somewhere that it hard to get them out, you can just ignore them and kill their teammates. I know not to rush campers. Rockets are great for getting them to move too.
When I'm getting wrecked, it is almost always by someone running around going absolutely nuts. I mean people laser beaming me before I can even move. Maybe it is really lag or something. I mean usually I can at least get my aim on someone and get a shot off even if I lose. It is always one or two guys too. Everyone else is normal.
Double XP everything this weekend, although matchmaking seems off since the latest update. It takes many minutes to find a game even with crossplay on with a huge playlist like Shoot the Ship (that normally takes seconds). Seems like there's a ton of lag all of a sudden and I'm seeing players who seem to be from Europe and South America.
