Only thing that really frustrates me with this game especially playing Nuketown is the connection. My bad matches are always because people don’t die when I shoot them not because anything the other team is doing. Damn that s*** gets annoying. Dedicated servers my a**.
I'm not sure it is a connection issue. To me there seems to be a sporadic hit detection issue. I've noticed that sometimes 3, 4, 5 bullets just don't register. I've had laggy games where that doesn't happen at all. I've had perfect games where it just happens a few times and then stops. I had a full game of Nuketown Dom where finished with a measly 900 points. Connection, ping were all great, but when I watched the game back it was obvious my first handful of bullets were not registering.

This game has completely bricked all sound coming out the Xbox. Trying to troubleshoot by turning it on and off and it’s not working.

I had a crash that did that, but I was lucky that it came back.

I'm done with this game on the XSX until they patch it. I'm afraid it is going to brick my console. My console was rock solid until this game.
 
I got sound back but I had to go and change settings. It was basically the equivalent of blowing into a cartridge andhoping it works.

Reinstalled XSX and crashed three times. One near the end of a very good match. At least it’s not 15 frames a second which I was also getting.
 
Mine crashed twice in the campaign today on XSX. Campaign still won’t start on my PS5.
 
I've gotten the 15 fps thing too. Did you try turning off ray tracing? That seemed to help. I'm still hesitant to start this up until things are patched.

I'd really like to get some more 2xp in though :( I'd have my guns leveled up no problem if not for all the technical issues.
 
Mine keeps crashing hard. Sounds terrible. I'm afraid to play it until a patch comes out. Every couple missions in the campaign it bricks everything and have to restart like a hard restart..

I've been super lucky. Haven't had a crash in a little over a day. Ray tracing turned off along with motion blur (not sure if that matters, but it is ugly anyway). Haven't had a full shutdown since turning off RT.

I've been in MP most of the time, and mostly Nuketown.

I have to hope they are putting out a patch next week or something, as there's definitely something wrong on XSX.

My win/loss has been over 2.0 so far, so not sure why the SBMM hasn't come down and curb stomped me yet. Although it seems to do more team balancing, as I notice I'm on some pretty bad teams. I prefer this over MW so far, but I have to think I'll eventually end up in some high bracket.

I'm actually having a lot of fun, the only real problem is the technical issues which hopefully get fixed.
 
The campaign is a buggy pile of s***. I am on the last mission and it’s crashed my XSX 5 times to restart. Gonna have to wait for a patch to finish the game I guess :(
 
Anyone heard of any incoming patches for this game? It crashes my XSX at the exact same point in the final mission.
 
Moscow map is a mother f***ing crash fest. I had 14 kill spree and the f***er crashed. That map has probably been the map that crashes it. It’s nearly every time. I’m just gonna leave the lobby if that map gets selected.

They've got the issue on their Trello board, but presumably they've been off for the holiday weekend. Hopefully we hear something official today. There's definitely something wrong.

It could very well be certain maps. I played almost all Nuketown this weekend. I think my crashes have been when I jumped into other maps.

Sounds like they should've released this in December or even January... Haven't seen fans be this hard on a cod game so early on before, usually it takes at least a few months and patches until people turn lol

I am usually a blind follower of COD. This time, they can suck my taint. Fix the f***ing game. I bought it TWICE and it's broke to f*** on both consoles.

Nope. The people complaining are next gen early adopters. Issues like this are inherant to being one.

Game works perfectly on the platforms it was made for.

Nope, the problem is with Activision/Sony/MS, not us gamers. They don't get to have the "beta" excuse. It is their responsibility to release a game for $60, in proper working condition. It's a different story if it was released in Game Preview, or was a Beta/Alpha. They are 100% responsible for their product. If they were not ready, they should not have released it. We already know the game was rushed, as it was developed in a shorter time with some random f***ed up team.

Never said it was gamers. You are an early adopter of a machine none of tge current games were made for. You have to accept that. As I said, it works great on last gen systems which it was made for. Hardly the sign of a rushed product.
 
Yeah I'm sure there will be a client patch soon. The COD CW reddit is filled with people having issues. The XP fix was just a server side thing that was quick.

I'm still confused by skill based matchmaking in this game. Almost 8 hours played and my stats are still very positive. I'm back to my normal aggressive playstyle.

I keep waiting for it to throw me in some crazy high skill bracket.
 
I disabled Ray Tracing, and the game isn't crashing now. I was able to pass that mission finally, and everything is performing much better. Ray Tracing is HOSED.
 
Glad I haven't jumped in on this. Still enjoying MW hahah.

Activision need to have a CoD every year probably had this game coming in hot. Treyarch only got 2 years on this one instead of the usual 3 right?

Activision should have just stuck it out with MW for another year.

I'm closing inn on 200 games played and still going positive 90% of the time on any map that isn't nuketown.

Nah this game is far more enjoyable.
 
I'm really enjoying this multiplayer maps. I think the movement wobble and recoil are kinda overkill though. Anyway, I'm finding myself more comfortable playing with my Xbox Elite Controller even on PC. I'm kinda surprised at how okay I do (though I'm always suspicious of hackers).

The good side of skill based matchmaking is it should put the cheaters into the highest tiers. The top tier youtubers run into them all the time, but most of us shouldn't see all that many.

I'm pretty sure there's a lot of average gamers on PC now too. The top end PC players are scary, but we should never see them.

The biggest thing I run into is people using those mouse and keyboard emulators, so they get the auto aim of the controller, but the actual mouse movement.

That's the funny thing about crossplay, it only works ok because of skill based matchmaking. Otherwise controller players would be constantly getting curb stomped by mouse players.

I have seen a ton of great controller players beating k/m players when I watch stuff on Twitch. Some people are just gods (not me) with controllers. I think they alter tons of settings for sensitivity. I know I can change my controller setting so that my player spins around in like a millisecond, but I can't game that fast.
