Call of Duty Modern Warfare II 2022

finished the campaign in about 7 hours in normal mode, replaying in veteran and its crazy harder on a few levels. most of the trophies require weird stuff to do so will have to clean that up as well, and there are 6 trophies tied to co-op mode which isn't unlocked until the 28th, plus I assume a few multiplayer trophies too then.

Campaign was fine, story was kinda shit and didn't make any real sense but its fun living in that technical military jargon world for a few hours.

I know Ubisoft has tried to do a cartel game with Ghost Recon and I guess Saints Row, Far Cry, etc has dipped its toes in it a few times but I wish someone would do a full blown cartel game where you play as a rising cartel gang member and you have to figure out alliances with other cartels, governments, and ways to distribute.

Started playing the campaign, but not done yet. Just did the AC-130 missions (which were super fun), but afterwards I'm sitting here like, who the fuck wrote this?

IT usually takes them a few balance passes to set that shit right. What you usually get with these games at first is just a playable shell.

I highly doubt they will fine tune the hundreds of attachments they had some intern churn out. Why every attachment has a trade off is beyond me as well. Really just validates my point that they are just bullshit made to give you the appearance of more options.

In case you miss it, you can switch from killstreak to scorestreak

Also, this seems to have helped me quite a bit. Absolutely retarded that attachments, which you "EARN", are actually worse for your gun, lol.

This was also the case in the last COD. You will wreck people with a stripped down gun if you have a decent ping/FPS those ms add up.

Agree on the sniper shit especially in Invasion. If you get setup in the right places you can basically kill people as they spawn in.

Only like level 22 or so, so barely scratched the surface, but that echoes my experience so far. I would unlock stuff and end up heading out of the gunsmith without adding anything. Kind of makes leveling up weapons seem pointless outside of unlocking more things.

The sniper blueprint you get from Twitch drops is fully kitted and yeah it might have the slowest fucking ADS speed of any gun I've ever used in any game, ever.

But then again I feel like the Union Guard blows the base m4 out of the water.

Is the new Warzone 2 connected to mw2? I saw that will be "f2p". Any point at all to own mw2 if you only want to play Warzone?

From my understanding, whether or not this was the devs opinion but what i've been hearing and have noticed it.. is that it's more a nerf to mindlessly 5 stacking attachments. Often running 2, or 3.. or finding combo's that work particularly for how you want to play is the way to go; if barebones is it.. So be it. It's basically a nerf on all the "gun meta" meme videos where they go for the lowest ergo, lowest hip fire, lowest ect ect ect.

I personally don't mind it, I think it's going to be healthier for the game as a whole; esp if warzone/dmz loot system revolves around these attachments rather than getting loadies. It adds a lot more depth to the whole finding of what feels better to how I am wanting to play with said gun.

Also since weight isn't really a factor in this game.. I'm bout it.

Been freezing up and crashing somewhat regularly the last two days. Once every hour or two, sometimes a bit more often. I downloaded what was supposed to be a hot fix driver from NVidia last night, but it’s still happening afterward. Can’t really tell if it’s happening when I do something in particular, or if there’s anything happening on screen when it happens that is consistent. What I can say is that it doesn’t seem to happen during gunfights, but rather when I’m running around on my own. That could just be dumb luck though.

On a different note, I’ve got a buddy who’s playing on PS4, and he’s having major issues getting into games. He loads slow as fuck, though I assume that’s because the platform is dated. Sometimes he’ll load into the game right as the timer counts down, but the majority of the time he doesn’t load for a minute or two after the match starts. Last night, however, he was crashing back to the main menu every time we tried to load a game. I’d say this happened six or seven times in a row last night before we gave up. Anyone have similar experiences?

I'm definitely crashing, about the same as you. Same with the patch and then driver hotfix.

I'm wondering if your friend is an issue with shaders. That stupid shader optimization shit is still around in this game, and it has to redownload every time there's a patch.

The 20 inch barrel m4 with 60 round clip is sexy AF.

Also, I feel like armor piercing bullet ammo option is broke. I was shooting people a ton of times and not getting kills, it almost makes your gun worse. I mean, it does say it is only for penetration and vehicle damage, but sacrificing actual damage is wild.

I've got 20 or so hours played, only had 1 crash on PC through Steam. Haven't really noticed any major bugs, and thankfully only 1 person I thought could possibly be a cheater... maybe I'm just naïve, though.
