General Videogame Thread

Regarding an incomplete game, I fully agree.

But what can you do here when the player-base poured 1 billion for half a game.

And unless you didn't know, next year they are continuing the title, but will charge another 70 for part two of this game. So the 2 year cycle was a lie. Sledgehammer are making that now. No difference on engine, or graphical approach. Just guns and maps. Disgusting.

K/D is something they are slowly syphoning off, since COD Vanguard Season 4, they removed Deaths as a statistic from in game tracking.

Check if you got the double XP from the vault edition, I got them 3 weeks later lol.

In terms of Gameplay, I only starting doing well once I actually slowed down my gameplay massively. Playing the game as it "WANTS" to be played. And of course, playing meta-guns.

Season 1 launch will bring Shipment and Shoot House back from MW19 btw.
That's fucking annoying that they dont show stats. Maybe its a good thing, since the SBMM is so high i just get 1 good game and then 3 shit ones with sweaty players or guys with crazy ping.

Yeah that's the issue i have, if i play it how it wants to be played then im bored shitless. I don't want to walk about, i don't want to pre-aim, i don't want to use the same guns over and over. It's basically tryna pull the fun out for me.

Oh i did like both those maps so that would be good.
 
And now for something completely different...
I've managed to scrape together enough to build me a new rig (AMD 58003XD, TUF 3090ti) and running Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 is finally a pleasant experience. Around 60 fps in the air at ultra 4K. Last winter I was given a voucher for one hour in a professional 737-800 simulator and I have barely time now to get some training in before I have to use it. Invested in the PMDG add-on and my godness there's a lot of stuff to digest. I mostly did GA with a Cessna 172 in the sim before. Fasten your seatbelts.
How's it running at a busy airport? Looking at bumping up from a 2080s.
 
Ye sorry it’s £24 for 3 months, ultimate let’s you do Xbox. Cloud etc that’s £12. If you do the Turkey trick tough think you can pick it up still cheaper.

Is this changing region? You can get it for the price of a xbox live gold plus 11.99 joining fee.

But you have to load up the gold vouchers before you subscribe to gamepass. I'm waiting until mine expires and I'll put three years on (maximum), if it still works then.

Ye that’s the one let it expire 3 years of gold then convert to Gamepass I think Turkey is the easiest way of doing it

I tried to do this with an EU region card (not turkey, Germany I think) and ended up fucking it up last time, needed to get into a chat with tech support.


I think it still works in your home region with gold, but the region switch saves a bit more.
 
It's made to be consumed by masses, and to encourage low skill-gap. It's made to be played by everyone, removing elements that separate skill such as advanced movement, ( bunny-hopping, slide-cancelling, fast sprint, lower Time to Kill, with very slow ADS times and quite simply useless gun attachments ). There is a huge problem regarding the aim-assist as well, with PC players on controller having a huge margin less of it against console.

The problem however is the match-making which has a much more aggressive Skill Based Match making, basically forcing everyone to connect based on an algorithm rather than connection. So rather than playing at 5-25 ping, this gets progressively worse as you play more and more, and the game forces the lobbies, to generate 0.8 - 1.2 KD's across the board for what they want as a "balanced" experience.

Since the game has made 1 billion US dollars in less than 10 days, and has the largest player pool of any COD these changes which go against what old COD players would want, ( including map design ) will never happen. Activision simply caters for heavy casual gameplay. As WZ2 will be released soon, a large swath of players will leave, cleaning the servers a bit of, snails, campers, and people playing the game on 3-3 sense whilst having a fit if moving more than 25 inches on the map. ( I am having fun not going to lie, but's it's quite difficult to imagine playing on the same engine, movement rules and TTk for two years... )

Yeah that's fair mate but as someone who's played the series since COD 4, it's ruining the entire appeal to me.

I can understand SBMM, it's not fair if you're a lower skill and are constantly getting leathered by better players.

Forcing crossplay when you're up against PC players with a big advantage is just a pisstake. I don't want to get into a PC v Console debate but I'd rather just have consoles play consoles.

The maps like I say are just a disaster, that border map is honestly just hell, I genuinely leave every lobby every time it's selected.

I'm not interested that much in warzone, the first was exciting for about a month before I got fed up of it. I barely played Caldera in all honesty.
