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

The challenges to get these guns are just super annoying. The problem is I'm already into a tough SBMM group and can only compete with the meta guns. Trying to do something odd like getting smoke kills just gets me killed over and over.

i did the entire smoke kills challenge on the Shipment play list last night. It was definitely the most annoying one to get alright. Use gunsmith to turn the Holgen LMG into a short barrel assault rifle type gun with a fast ADS and stick on infra red. Just spawn ,pop smoke and open fire. More often than not you’ll die but you’ll eventually manage three smoke kills.

I did it in about 30 mins. Get the 3 kills, quit, go again. As much as I hate shipment it is good for this sort of thing.

If you haven't tried the Fal yet, do not sleep on it. It is deadly. A 2 tap kill in regular MP from decent range. You can even miss a shot and still 3 tap AR users. The TTK on it is just stupid fast and it isn't really hard to be accurate with.

I use it sometime in MP and Warzone. It’s deadly and accurate.

I had a spell with it. It was alriight, but not for me.
 
Why in the world do they put a super high zoom scope on some of the guns in the gulag? A tiny little space, so let's put a zoom on it that can spot a fly a mile out.

I have to admit I'm having some more fun in solo Warzone. Only thing that still bugs me is picking loadouts. You're kind of forced to grab a loadout with Ghost eventually or you get screwed over by UAVs and heartbeat sensors. I'd be fine with what I find on the ground otherwise, but I have to have ghost.

I swear that Warzone and regular MP have different SBMM systems too. In Warzone I'm up against a lot of potatoes, but I jump into MP and I'm up against jump shotting MP5 users and no-scoping Kar98 pros.

I'm off tge opinion that having ghost or not doesn't matter.

The SBMM will be different. To be as strict as 6v6 MP would make matchmakinh take an age in 150 player Warzone.
 
Why do I do better without getting a loadout? Not just better but more consistant. It isn't like I play differently. Weird!!

We’ve had some clutch wins by getting a random loadout drop that came in towards the end. I run fully loaded on my Warzone classes that helps a lot when you barely scraping by end game.

You open yourself up to be seen more if you go for a loadout drop. Only time I ever go for one is if I have complete garbage, or I'm running into the circle and need an upgrade, which is rare.
 
I find the stuff that drops on the ground to be pretty solid to be honest. The only reason I risk a loadout is for Ghost. It isn't like PUBG where you can struggle to find something good unless you drop on a busy area. In COD, I can drop anywhere and find solid guns. Once in awhile I get stuck with something like an SMG with a thermal on it that is just annoying, but mostly I can get a sniper and an LMG with a good optic on it and I'm set. Ghost is really the big thing for me, otherwise all the UAV and heartbeat sensor spam gets annoying.

People definitely camp the loadout drops, but if I let them sit until the last minute before the circle closes I can usually get them. Often there's one near where I'm running anyway. Most COD players don't have much patience, so just sitting and out-waiting them is usually the way to go.

I tend to drop in quiet areas too, as I have no problem finding good guns and plates. Even tiny random buildings will have blue crates. I get my kills by getting the drop on people anyway.

The amount of times i've died in solos getting/shortly after getting a loadout is minimal, though. Plus, not having ghost should open you up to being seen alot more.

Haven't played PUBG for a very long time. You still play it? If so, how is it now.

I fire it up on PC once in awhile but usually do poorly. I haven't tried it on Xbox in a long time, but last time I did, it took a long time to find a game, and finding first person was tough. Not sure if the numbers dropped or what.

I would have said I don't like Warzone, but it grows on me and I find myself playing it a lot.

It is a lot easier to find good guns across the map since the update couple weeks ago. One thing on the random loadout drops to watch for is how many crates fall down. More than one means there is more people in the area.

menace-uk- I played PUBG with some buddies couple months back. They’ve added a ton of stuff to that game. Felt overwhelming trying to play it now lol.

Makes me laugh how youtubers are hyping "huge" map changes for Warzone in season 5. So far all we can expect is stadium being accessable and a train will be added. To me, that barely qualifies as map changes.

I really hope it changes far more, it needs to. But so far it isn't looking great.

Yeah I think that's the Youtubers desperately trying to get their daily clicks in.

It’s been over 10 f***ing years since CoD4. Why the f*** is getting spawned in front of a bad guy already shooting or ADSing already a f***ing thing.

They have never fixed the spawns in this game. While the spawns in COD4 Remaster and WW2 were fine. Black Ops 4 if I remember right spawns would flip too easily.

I'm pretty sure they are "broken" on purpose. My conspiracy theory is that they knew they made many of the maps too big for 6v6, so they purposely spawn you on top of the enemy to make big maps feel more action packed.

Honestly I think the player base wants spawn traps too. They freak out anytime Shipment and Shoot House aren't in a stand alone playlist. There's lots of players who only play these maps. There's players who think maps like Hackney and Gun Runner are too "big and slow".

lol, I amthe complete opposite, give me the bigger maps. Shipment is garbage. Rust is garbage. Shoot House is garbage.

god, I just want a good modern battlefield game. I would take a bad company 2 remaster at this point.

I like most of the "middle" sized maps for 6v6. Gun Runner, Hackney, maps like that. A few are a little too big for 6v6 like Petrograd, but can still be fun. I definitely don't want to be spawning and shooting every single time. I just end up going 50-50 and what's the point unless you are grinding XP?

I like some of the 10v10 stuff even if it is a little slower paced sometimes.

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.
