I'll take 30fps,no cheating and better UI's over the BS that is PC multiplayer.

That's why PC gaming MP is trash.

That's the entire reason I play multiplayer games on console over PC. I want a casual experience where cheaters aren't everywhere. Crossplay removes all that and puts me at a massive disadvantage.
Skill based matchmaking just makes it worse. The bad players never see a mouse and keyboard user, let alone a cheater. For whatever reason I get thrown into the higher tier pools and am constantly getting thumped.
Ended up downloading the beta again (lol) on Monday for the last night. Definitely had more fun but game still felt sketchy sometimes. One match a guy on both teams had like 40-5 records. Like how is this possible? Watching killcams looked super sketch so I looked at recent players and it showed some people in that game using KB/M. The two in question weren't, but that doesn't mean they weren't on PC using controller and chronus or whatever that s*** is for auto aim and other macro abilities.
Yep, that is probably the biggest "cheat" on consoles right now. The competitive Rainbow Six ranks got flooded with them. Most of the great console Siege players were forced to switch over to PC. I have no idea how many are out there, but there are a lot. Message people randomly and ask them. Sometimes they'll send you a link. The problem is it really isn't on the game to detect them, but the console makers.
The thing is barely more than the price of one game, and on top of it you can add recoil scripts on top of it so that your aim never jumps.
There are great console/controller players out there, but they move the stick, then aim down sight over the target and let the aim assist work for them. Mouse and keyboard adapters can aim down sight much earlier and turn much faster and still get the aim assist.
Throw skill based matchmaking on top of it and it just gets worse. I start out with people at my skill, but before long I'm in harder and harder lobbies. You also get people who glitch the system. For example, you play a game and you pick the worst player in the lobby and join their next game. Now, you're in their skill bracket, not yours. Pick the worst player again and repeat.
If you ever wonder how some Youtubers always seem to be playing against potatoes.
Well that sucks. Is Modern Warfare ever getting that horde style mode that was PS4 only?

I was passing anyway, but that seals it. I've always thought Treyarch was a little overrated over IW anyway. I like their map design, but this game feels like a step back in a lot of ways. I'll just jump into the free Warzone now and then.
I disagree Treyarch has made quality games over their run. This game is going back to MP basics and back to fun less frustration.
Just saw that the survival mode from PS4 hit XBox MW on Oct 1st. I didn’t even know.
I would like the gunplay, but the constant score streak spam at the end of matches needs to be toned way down. Most games I would spend the end of the round hiding in a corner trying to avoid all the kill streaks.
The netcode didn't feel quite right either. It varies from game to game, and sometimes it favors one player over the other for some reason. IW games seem to have a smoother connection for me, but some people had more problems with it. It seems to vary greatly depending on where you are and what kind of connection you have.
I had no problem with net code in matches even played cross play against PC and still held my own.
Run a launcher and if you have multiple people with one you can take out streaks quick and build towards your own.
Kinda sounds like you just too old for this s*** lol.
I'll grab this game from Best Buy since it has a $10 reward credit with it. If I get sick of it I can just trade it in. Then again I said the same with MW and I never did end up getting rid of it. At least it's $10 cheaper though?
I had the default launcher maxed out in MW. I shot down so many streaks.
That's my big beef with the game. I have no idea why the SBMM throws me into a top tier. Other games have SBMM and they put me in the "dad" tier. I can play Rainbow Six Siege and I am in the lower tiers where I belong. R6 has some god tier players who have crazy skills, but I only see them outside of skill based playlists. In COD now though I just get put up against kids hopped up on adderal.
I've been a positive player in COD from day 1, nothing great, but positive. Now they add skill matchmaking and I'm negative in win loss and kill/death.
I'm waiting to see. Definitely not pre-ordering. They've been really quiet on Warzone. There's been no word on if/when there will be a new map, and we do know that Warzone will still use the same engine. So, if you mostly play Warzone you can just stick with that for free.
Supposedly they are going to mix the new and old guns together, but you sort of have to pick your loadout as "MW" or "Cold War" (still not sure how that is going to work). I have no idea how they are going to make the different perk systems work.
It is going to be strange to have Warzone play like MW but the new game play differently in MP.
The beta was fun, but nothing I have to rush out to buy. If I hear good things and it runs on next gen hardware well I might check it out.
How so? Just curious. If it gets really good buzz I’ll probably drop MW and pick it up. I’m not really into Warzone so I’m mainly talking MP concerns.
Gunplay, spawns, maps are all a lot better than MW MP from what I played in the beta. Drop that s*** and get this.
s*** really? I believe it on the maps. MW’s suck. You got me interested to try it.
Yes it’s a lot better MP experience than MW MP. Plus the beta ran great.
I know it sets a bad precedent but I ordered the cross gen version on PSN just now
Sorry...not sorry.
The "regular" game and MP definitely has a console FOV slider, but no idea on Warzone, since it is still using the old engine.
