The campaign is constantly crashing for me playing on gfn. Other than the crashes it’s been a great campaign so far. Graphics and presentation is phenomenal. Definitely has to be one of the candidates for best graphics of the year. I feel like these guys would do an awesome Hitman or Splinter cell knock off. The little hub at the house definitely giving me Blacklist vibes but it’s done way better as you have a larger environment you can explore. Loving the stealth element in some of these missions.

The main issue I have found this year is that it’s really boring. 100 headshots is boring. Last year sledgehammer did the best mastery camo challenges. Because they were more unique for the weapons and it showed you the ideal way to play with some of the weapons. So it taught you strengths.
For example there were ones for smg to kill people affected by your tactical. And LMG there were ones to kill with longshots so it encouraged things like using thermal scopes and smokes to cover you etc.
This year it’s like treyarch just repeated the past.

100 headshots on shotguns feels like something from the 360 era. Even Black Ops 3 changed it to '1 shot kills' I think.

Man im having fun but also frustrating AF... everything feels off to me currently. just watched a youtube video explaining that the infrastucture needs to be updated as everything is updating at 20hz instead of the 60hz it's supposed to... and some games have even moved to 128hz and 256hz. Get with the times Microsoft fix yo shit! Ya cheap fucks. haha

Unlocked diamond skins for all 4 marksman rifles and just went Prestige 2.
Been since COD4 that I've been this hooked on COD.

XP has definitely been nerfed in directed mode.

50 seconds in and I am validated in my feelings about modern gaming in The Corporate Age. They have made sooo much money in lifetime franchise sales and yet still deliver broken, buggy bullshit that isn't optimized because big greedy corpos and investors do not care about the products they create and support. Why? Because fuck you, give me money. And we do, based simply on brand recognition and popularity. I know that I am better at these games than my actual performance suggests, and my internet is decent enough.

BO6 feels alright, not as good as CS2 (plenty of people complain there as well) but BR being on 20hz servers is really poor form.
Like he said in the video, some competitive games are pushing the envelope regarding all of that so it's not all lost.

I figured they would nerf the camo grinding in directed mode as well.
Have actually been having some fun with my nephews grinding guns and camos in it

They have been grinding so hard they forgot how to play well

What the fuck is up with people shooting guns obviously with rapid fire but with like zero apparently recoil in the replays? I know there guns mods to reduce that, but not completely nullify it. I mean there is a mod gun mod that reduces recoil siginifcantly but that replaces rapid fire. Like shooting multiple people and the gun like sight not moving other than to target someone else. Always seems to be that new SMG that released with the first season too. I seriously cannot tell if it’s an aimbot or some teenager hopped up on caffeine with keyboard and mouse on PC with 240hz monitor.

Do you ever find yourself in need of ammo? What about good vibes? If so, stop by an Assault Pack today! Some friendly teammates are after the points, dopamine hit, and good vibes of being a team player. (Plus they want to pump their Mastery Badge numbers up. Those are rookie numbers!)
So if you see an Assault Pack on the ground, and it's safe to do so, take a hit! More bullets means more dead bad guys for you, and more coolness for the homie leaving the Pack. And as an ASSPACK man myself, I always grab the Pack if I see one!
This message brought to you by friendly players for a chill and better COD.

Maybe they were going for challenges?
And let's be honest, we all have absolutely terrible matches where it seems like you're some useless stormtrooper. Lol

Hit Prestige 3, good times. Could have gotten here earlier but I was working on a couple of Assault Rifle camos and didn't want to reset.
On the Zombies front I got pretty far solo on Liberty Falls but the 15 round cap is tight, might just be better to do it regularly (no Directed Mode). Gumball that gives you *every perk* is crazy

Is anyone else enjoying all of the clickbait CoDspiracy content that's doing the round on YT as of late?
I mean I don't have access to the game atm so I might as well go down those rabbit holes amirite. Do have to say though that some of these issues seem to carry weight though (what with the map design, general decisions by Acti, etc).

i made that mistake with the goblin, i would have had AR diamond camo by now but i forgot to finish the goblin and now i have to go all the way around again (as val wasn't an issue cause i have a perm unlock on that)Hit Prestige 3, good times.

have not played zombies at all. does that mode increase your rank as well? maybe that's how some on my friends list are ranking up cause i never see them in multi.

of course, why wouldn't it? rank, weapon, bp all level up as they would.
i figured cause it's way easier to kill non human opponents, but alas
Reizo Ryuu

and that's why you kill thousands of them and not 20.
but the entire strategy / nature of combat is completely different. there should be a separate ranking system for zombies, it's not even cod, it's a side game that grew cause people didn't want to sweat in multi. i can understand cross progression with warzone but zombies is like apples/oranges
normally i would even care but i spent the last 2 weeks chasing this girl on my fiends list only to find out she got it all in zombies
might as well be able to rank up in private lobbies single player with bots if that's the case

no there shouldn't, rank doesn't mean anything but time played, matchmaking is based on performance, you don't lose anything from it being shared.
It's been cod since cod5, this is cod21, it's been cod longer than it hasn't, and people buy cod just for zombies, it's why more and more non-treyarch entries also have zombies now because it's just leaving money on the table otherwise.

Holy fuck warzone is so broken right now. All my friends are dropping like flies waiting till they fix their shit 
Also i bought the iDead bundle and the masterwork XM4 looks really cool and love the tracers but holy shit the arcing electricity that sprays around as you shoot is so distracting and blocks your view wtf how do people play with this shit?

I think the perk system needs a complete re-work tbh.
i know, i get it, but just recognize it for what it is, participation trophy bullshit for mentally fragile kids
if rank doesn't mean anything, why have it at all? i wouldn't die on that hill - rank is basically the dangling carrot that keeps a lot of people playing cod, isn't that obvious, it's always been that way, that's why anyone bothers to prestige, to show off
it's supposed to be just like in the military where you have ranks for different types of soldiers. do i really need to explain this? come on bro
you don't gain anything from skins either but tons of people brainwashed to buy that crap. just like prestige is a "status symbol"

and how pray tell is that not a valid statement? it's made for kids. zombies is a completely different game, i get that it makes good business, but you shouldn't be able to rank up your multi player from a completely different mode where you can just harvest / farm xp on dumb ai.
zombies has been there a long time, but not sharing xp into multiplayer from it. or has it? i lost track, didn't play cod for 15 years before the tail end of mw3 and black ops.

Why do many COD players enjoy zombies mode more than regular multiplayer?
Answer (1 of 6): I'm a COD player, and I LOVE zombie mode. While I can only speak for myself, but I suspect many would agree with me. (And based on the user research I read, these are some of the main reasons why some people prefer PvE content over PVP). Basically, Zombie mode is a survival co-...
The main reason I don't like competitive multiplayer game play is because it's too aggressive. People are hostile with each other, insults flying around, ego being hurt, even between team members, people are blaming each other for loses. And PvP is generally harder to get comfortable with, specially for new and lower skill level players. You're basically cannon fodder for higher level players. Matchmaking make things a bit more balanced, but in the end, it often get uncomfortable.
It's just overall a less competitive, less stressful, less intimidating game experience. It feels really good co-op with other players and survive the wave, it feels good to help someone, or revive your downed teammates, it feels good to provide assist, and even when losing, people tend to encourage each other and try again.
For PvP, most players had to work their way out of negative feelings. It is inevitable you end up being killed over and over again by more experience players. People have to spend hours of game play to get better. And the constant insult from other players doesn't make it any easier. But PvE, on the other hand, focus more on delivering a positive experience. You feel good about fighting, helping, cooperating, completing missions, winning the wave... While some might find it boring fighting against bots, but I think a lot of people would rather enjoy the game than being beat up by other players.
Translation: i'm too mentally fragile to play multiplayer
also, i googled around but didn't find much other than cod:waw did not grant xp . there was probably a reason for that, but then they changed it to make it more appealing to kids like who i quoted above. it's basically just a really soft participation trophy mode. that said i don't think it's much of a stretch to say it should not share rank / xp with multiplayer

I am 57 and I always mainly played MP but have been having a lot of fun playing Zombies recently
I hated the open world Zombies but enjoy this but I like Zombie type of games, played a ton of H1Z1 Just Survive
I never paid much attention to someone with high ranks its means nothing it’s just a time sink not based on skill at all
Plus since I have been leveling guns via Zombies my rank has been flying much faster than in MP but in the end who cares
I had a pretty big surgery on my surgery and my arm is strapped to my side for awhile now and on some decent meds so my reaction time really sucks and Zombies has been a much more casual playlist for me.
I don’t agree at all “it’s made for kids” try getting a super high run going and see how hard it actually can get

Everything carries the only differences are camos
It’s much easier and faster leveling up a gun in Zombies vs MP
Plus I tend to get a better feel for a gun using it in Zombies actually getting to use it instead of dying 1.5 seconds after spawning
Edit - I have almost completed the Battlepass mainly through Zombies

Thank you so much. I did not know this. I thought it was all separated by mode.
