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

Season 5 hit today 50 gb update. In Warzone they opened the stadium, added on to the Train station area, and there is a train that moves around the map now you can get on.
Complete joke. Can't believe that is all they did.
 
I'm only buying the season pass because I have currency left over from past battle passes. I'm so done with crossplay in Warzone. There's just so many suspicious things where people seem to always know where I am without any reason (UAV or whatever). I doubt many of them are cheating, some are probably just lucky or good, but there's got to be a few. I swear I step out of a building and someone is pre-aiming at my head.

I'm also done with matching against mouse and keyboard too. I assume skill based matchmaking tries to put me with the worse players, but it still doesn't feel fair.

Forcing crossplay is just a terrible idea for console players. I like Warzone, but ultimately I'm going to get down to the last few people and someone is going to have a mouse or even worse, cheats.
 
My buddies and I all wish it had XBox or console only Warzone matchmaking. When we do go down it’s usually against someone or a squad doing something questionable in the replays. The game is so much fun though with friends that’s what keeps us coming back.

The odds of you running into a cheater are very slim. Their skill metric is too high for them worry 90% of the userbase.

Yeah. I agree forced crossplay with PC is terrible. They have too many advantages. Should be console crossplay, opt in to PC crossplay, and crossplay off.
 
Out of curiosity, there will be a new war zone for the next cod, or they will update the current one?

I played only the first 1.5 season. What did I missed until now?
 
Is there any way to get the weapons from the old seasons? That would be the only thing important. Some of those guns are really good.

You mean the actual weapons like the Vector and Galil? Yes, you can. They have to be unlocked via challenges.

I’m liking this Mini Royale Warzone mode. It picks a random spot on the map as the map, with a smaller number of players, and the gas goes quicker. Matches go quick.
 
I'm almost tempted to plug a mouse into my Xbox and be that guy. Even 6v6 I'm getting into PC lobbies. I get that the bigger modes can't match perfectly, but it can't find 11 other people between 2 consoles on double XP weekend?

It also cheeses me off that when I turn off crossplay, it takes an hour to find a match.

I'm also constantly getting killed by the new SMG. The stats didn't look anything special, basically the same as other SMGs but I get killed by it all the time. Maybe it is just the shiny, new gun everyone is using.

I'm loving the Fal still. A 2 tap kill at reasonable range. It is so quick if you hit it right.
 
These new maps they added are complete garbage, especially the harbor one.

CoD4 still has the best map design in terms of the mw series.

Where are you located? I have it set to Xbox only and have no issue finding matches in team hardcore here in the states.

I'm in Buffalo, and normally I'm in a great spot networking wise (we're small, but lots of big cities all around us).

It finds a game eventually, it just seems to take a very long time. If I turn on crossplay I get a game in seconds.

I just get sick of getting thrown into high end lobbies all the time. My win/loss this week was 15 and 32. The game has just decided that I deserve to lose way more than win I guess.

Are you playing on wireless or wired?

Like I stated above, some of these maps in MW have clear advantages depending what side you spawn on.

If you go on a good streak of wins, game definitely feels after a while it will throw you on a team that may not be as good.

Lol, I wonder if I ran into you this weekend. I had a few 20+ kill matches with a handful of deaths this weekend in hardcore team death match.

Also, back to networking, I was playing wireless for months and switched to a wired connection and noticed a big difference. COD netcode is not good on a wireless network and there is a clear advantage for wired players. Just a heads up if you are playing on a wireless network.

No, I'm on wired and it isn't my connection. The game has been doing this to me since launch day.

I only play regular TDM, not hardcore. I swear, skill based matchmaking just hates me in this game. I wish I could figure out why it thinks I'm "good".

I get 2-3 games in a row against normal opponents and I go positive, and then the system throws me right back into flick shotting Kar98 players who never miss.

It isn't lag, people are just super quick in my lobbies, like all of them are using those mouse and keyboard adapters with the auto-recoil scripts or something.

I can still play other shooters and be average or above. They turned off skill based matchmaking in Destiny 2 and I got better on console.

You didn't get better. You just got higher K/D ratios due to playing worse players and think you're better.

How old are you? I've noticed that my response/flick shooting isn't what it was when I was 22 when CoD 4 released now that I am 35 haha.

It just might be age my dude.

Destiny 2 MP, from what I remember, has a higher time to kill than call of duty? that might why you do better on destiny and not so much it is a skill based match making issue? In CoD who ever shoots first 90% of the time is going to win the engagement.

I'm 47 :surprise:

That's just it, if I am getting old and slow, I should bounce down the SBMM rankings then, right? That's what bugs me more than anything.

I'm also not just missing. If I get in a fight and do a ton of damage, but just get beat, ok then, GG. That's COD and that fraction of a second matters. I get wrecked where people just shoot me like I am standing still. It isn't long before they have a chopper gunner too so it isn't like it is just me.

True true.

Like I said, I think the sbmm recognizes that you are doing good and then decides to put you on a team of lower people that aren't doing as good, but use you as the lead person to match with players on the other side? I know I will go on a win streak and then all of the suddenly I am on the losing team consistently for a while.

When your level of play is higher than other players on your team, you feel it when the other team is really good also and your team is getting destroyed haha.

I think yesterday or Saturday I had a match where I went 29 or 30 kills with 4 or 5 deaths. Next person below me on my team didn't break 10 kills. I am sure the opposing team was frustrated.

The sbmm is odd at times.
