It is mathematically impossible for any company to be any worse than Activision. It still cracks me up that people don't see them for what they are.

They make EA look decent. They've taken the EA model and pushed it even further. They push out the competition and then slip in little pay to win bits.

We all play COD because there's really no direct competition other than more sci-fi games that don't fit for many of us.

I'll never understand why the gaming community in general has such a blind spot when it comes to Activision.

I saw floating around that MW2/WZ2 isn’t even a new engine like they claimed. More lies.

And yeah not much else shooter wise worth playing for long. Fortnite probably the best right now to get into and have fun without a bunch of s*** frustrating you.

I don't.

Didn't buy the last 3 COD games. Haven't really played WZ2 since the week it launched either. Only played MW2019 because it came with my PS4.

Apex Legends is the best, imo. Fortnite just gets boring too quick.

Patch notes are up and they are... lol. Buff to the Taq-56 and STB, because... sure? They obviously don't give a crap about 6v6, as those are two of the strongest and most used guns.

Terrible.

Zero audio fixes stated.
Movement changes show they troll their users.
Snipers with explosive rounds seemingly OHK anywhere on the body. Doesn't state head shot or anything.

But don't worry, they added a $30 BP. LMAO!!!!
 
All they care about is making money and give zero f***’s about their community. I don’t think the developers even play their own game with some of the s*** they come up with or don’t fix.

There is a very vague mention of footstep & occlusion remix.

Fingers crossed.
 
They posted on Twitter that the Taq patch note might have been backwards. Should have said a headshot reduction.
 
Seriously, who the f*** is designing these maps? This lighthouse map is just more corner camping garbage galore.
 
Why the Fook do they keep removing solos. Solos only have one mode. It should always be there for ever every BF variant.

Only managed 2 quick games on Ashika, but the audio seemed better with close enemies but the sound cut off seems too short a distance.

Yeah I only played a handful of rounds of 6v6, but I was able to hear people very close. Not much else though.

Right now Invasion and Ground War are bugged and lobbies don't fill up. I was running around for many minutes before I realized nobody was even on the server.

I did manage to play the night map and it is...ok. I give them credit for trying to do something different. You have to use those canted sights which is something I've never touched. The nvg itself is fine. You never need to turn it off, even in lighted areas. It isn't like old nvg in old games. Some scopes seem to work in the game, but not sure which. Someone was using a sniper and getting a full scope and wrecking people.

Still the map is a little big and turns into a camp fest like so many others.

Oh and the battle pass UI looks like it was designed as a launch Xbox 360 game or something. It is bad. It works fine, but it looks horrible. Just kind of funny that stuff like this gets released from a company making billions.

I'll take that over the other way round or just no audio at all.

Maybe the next pass over will get it where it should be.

Yeah I basically "wallhacked" one guy coming up the stairs on me, which I honestly had not been able to do at all. I noticed I was aiming the stairs before he was even visible.

The other thing is I noticed my own footsteps making noise consistently. Before this, I would rarely hear my own steps. It was like I had a ninja perk on and not making sound. Now, I am crouching trying to keep quiet again.

I still doesn't feel consistent at all which is the problem. Nothing that can be relied on consistently.

Back in beta I was able to hear fine... all too well. So the code did work at one point.

You ain’t lying about the BP. WTF did they do to it it’s laughably bad now. Only thing I can think of it has been bugged a lot since the game released and instead of fixing it they made it look and function as simple as possible lol.

It amazes how many developers they have working on COD/WZ and they can’t get simple s*** right. Hell they don’t even know have of the problems that pop up in their game if the big trusted content creators didn’t test everything each season. It’s like they have no QA department or play their own game.

OK!! Don't use Dolby Atmos on Xbox. Got killed by a full on tac sprinting enemy twice.

Stereo Uncompressed on Xbox with Headphone Bass boost in game seems the best right now in WZ2. Still got to try DTS:X, though.

They fired their Q&A team didn't they.
 
Undocumented fix - They finally fixed ghost. If you fire a suppressed gun with ghost, you finally will not show up on the radar.

My oldest boy and I tried out some 2v2 Gunfight earlier. Had some fun we’ll put more time into that. WZ felt like it normally does played a few.
 
I tried gunfight but end up in SBMM hell. Lost 6 games in a row against premade teams. I think I won 2 rounds. Teammates are AFK and then quit.

One match, my teammate quit before the round started and it was 1-2 the whole time. The sweatlords made a point to tbag me after every death (even though I almost won a few rounds).

SBMM really does ruin all the great fun COD once was.

CoD has SBMM? Could have fooled me haha.

Heads up, it is much faster to grind out the battlepass in DMZ than regading multiplayer. Takes like 6 matches in regular multiplayer to get 1 battlepass token. You can get 1 token in 1 or 2 DMZ instances.

At this point DMZ should become my primary mode when I do play COD. It’s a lot of fun and far less frustration. Saw they’ve added some more stuff to it this season.

They need to dump this engagement based matchmaking system. It is so obvious there's an algorithm behind it. I had Mon and Tues off, so I played a lot to get some BP progress in (so slooooooow). It is so clear once the game thinks it "has" you playing, the lobbies get harder and harder .

6v6 is just rough. Everyone plays super slow and cautious, because every lobby is super challenging and the TTK is so fast. I just jump into Invasion once the frustration sets in, and it is a completely different experience. I get good games and bad games (and most of my "good" games are just me farming bots). Lobbies have a mix of skill. Every player is not going to insta-laser beam me.

I finally unlocked the Tempest Torrent. That challenge almost put me over the edge. Having to get 25 double kills with marksman rifles was not fun. The 2nd guy in would always melt me. Of course now that I finally have it, they nerfed it.

I actually tried DMZ just to mess around and it was... fun? I tried it in the early days and it was all heavy armored AI who would simply overwhelm you (you couldn't do enough damage to stop the swarm). They seem to have toned that down for the AI just randomly around the map.

That’s another thing that has always frustrated me about COD since MW (2019) is how slow the BP goes. I played a lot in 2020 and 2021 never maxed out the BP once.

As for DMZ they’ve made changes for the better from what I’ve played in the last month or so. Was surprised to hear a recent podcast say DMZ is the best mode now in COD over WZ.
