Buddy text me said Verdansk was hit by two nukes that struck near fire station (near the dam maybe) and Stadium.
Edit: Miss read his text it hit fire station next to stadium. Map updates after tonight.

The new tac knife is a beast. It is like hitscan out to at least 20 meters if not further. Insta kill anywhere on the body.
Basically the tomahawk, but with no arc or travel time.

Both games have a server queue now. I was able to get into CW earlier, but now even that is down. I've never been able to get into WZ.
I finally got in. From what I can tell (and youtubers), the map is part rework, part reskin. Parts are the same while others are different. Everything is brighter. It doesn't have that dark MW feel.
Some of the areas are identical to before, while places like the stadium are different. Apparently the dam is gone. The airport is basically intact, not destroyed like in the modern version. Floor loot is CW stuff.

Did they mess with the TTK or something? I feel like it's takes longer to kill now. I constantly stop shooting when I think someone is dead, but they aren't...sliver of health left. I don't understand.
I've noticed a ton of lag lately. I swear it just takes an extra bullet or two to kill in CW.
The other thing though is check the players in your lobby. I notice I'm up against mouse and keyboard almost exclusively now, even console players. You have to open up each player's info to see what they are using. I'm getting thrown into a ton of total sweat lobbies lately, like noticeably worse. Not exaggerating at all, I am now often the only controller player in.
I find that if I'm not using the meta and am not super accurate, I'm dead.
A heads up on Warzone, there seem to be some new bugs that are really annoying. I was in the early game and randomly peeking out windows when I see a shadow and a chute coming in. I got no audible warning that someone was literally dropping right on top of me. It was very early and I was in a quiet place, so there's no way I missed it. The only way I got the kill was I just happened to be looking in the right spot. The guy would have silently dropped behind me easily. The guy actually jumped in the window I was looking out, giving me the easy kill.
Also someone got a bounty on me, and I took them out (Streetsweeper is floor loot now and is nasty in the hands of a noob like me). The bounty still showed as "red" as if someone was right on top of me. I was checking all over, thinking that the guy I killed wasn't the bounty.
The Streetsweeper is floor loot and is nasty. I feel bad sitting in a corner taking people out with it.

Whatever they did to this game it's unplayable now. TTK feels off. Hit detection feels off. Game is a pile of s*** now.
Was wrecking last night on Alcatraz with the streetsweeper and PPSH off the ground. Got a couple wins. Sweeper is stupid easy to take out an entire team lol.
For the first time in awhile, I'm having more fun in Warzone than 6v6. The new maps are pretty disappointing so far. The new maps really show the flaws in the spawn system. I get tired of being shot in the back 2 seconds after spawning.
It still amazes me in 2021 a developer can’t make spawns that work properly in a MP game.
I know the skill based matchmaking cranked up to 11 on me this season. I was having good games all along, but now I'm often the only controller player in an all mouse+kb lobby.
There's tons of console players using mouse + kb who are crazy good. I'm struggling to even get close to going positive lately.
It is really noticeable like someone flipped a switch on me. I rarely get console lobbies maybe 1 in 10 games.
You have to open up each player to see what input they are using. There's a ton of mouse and keyboard people on console now.
Wouldn’t be call of duty without the s***tiest spawns ever.
they need a cross play option where it is gamepad only or console only.
It amazes me they don't do input matching. Even with crossplay off, I'm running into tons of Xbox players on mouse and keyboard.
Crossplay would work ok if they added input matching in.

I know this belongs in the modern warfare thread but I have to say that activision f***ed up that game so badly with the reduce memory size patch.
There is a fix, but you have to manually do it.
certain maps crash the game. You have delete old multiplayer packs and download one big new one they put out.
it’s been weeks and they still have not fixed it or at least sent out instructions to people.
just had 2 matches in a row where I was the only one that loaded in.

Apparently the flinch change is very noticeable. The rest of the "balance" changes are mostly tiny, but snipers will now have kick. Many of them got an ADS speed buff, but it is very minor, like a couple of frames kind of change that would barely even be detectable.
Turns out, they basically had no flinch, maybe a pixel or two. Now if you shoot a sniper they have a good chance of missing the shot.
The other changes to ARs and things are super minor. Not sure why they even bothered. I don't think anyone would notice them.
I'm hoping they fixed the lag and the horrible matchmaking. I'm back to getting crushed every game and the lobbies are super laggy. I feel like I have to put an extra bullet or two in everyone now. I swear this is the time of year they shut down servers to test them on the new game or something, because everything falls apart in the game. MW hit the same wall.

I really like the additions they’ve made to Alcatraz Warzone map plus it’s brighter and easier to see. Good stuff.
Standoff is great. A great Black Ops map that allows for sniping but also rushing play.
There's definitely more lag though. It says I'm pinging 60 but there's no way I'm that smooth. I'm even seeing players warp around sometimes.
