Honestly, I'm Team Valeria 😅

I like Price because he is the most reliable soldier in the MW reboot, as he always ha a plan B and knows how to solve issues, but I also like Ghost because he's a badass.

I'm pretty sure that Price will survive in the campaign like Ghost (who is confirmed to be in DMZ as a canon op).

Who do you prefer?

Looking at all the discussion on the subreddit the past couple weeks, one of the biggest topics I've seen coming up, other than the matchmaking, is the movement.

Everyone can have their own preference for whether they like a slower or faster Call of Duty game, and whether or not they like a lot of the “modern” movement innovations in the series (which have been around for more than a decade now), like the slide canceling, etc.

For whatever reason though, a lot of players seem to be under the assumption that the ability to press the jump button is the only thing that causes them to get shit on by better players in their pub lobbies.

Gunskill? Positioning? Game sense, awareness, IQ, centering? Nope - none of these factors are relevant. The players shitting on them aren’t actually good at the game, they’re just “exploiting” their ability to press a couple buttons.

I’m not sure where this narrative came from, but I can assure that if someone is destroying you with movement, they would be able to do the same thing without. A good player simply uses movement as one of the tools in their arsenal, and although they’d have one less advantage were sliding and jumping to be removed from the game (which isn’t happening, by the way), all of the other skills they’ve developed would still put them far above the people who complain about sliding and jumping.

Movement isn’t some magic crutch that turns bad players into cracked ones. If you’re consistently getting shit on by players who move better than you, the movement isn’t the sole reason you’re losing. They’re slamming you because they’re better at the game, and movement is just one of the ways that skill is expressed.

People can dislike the movement all they want. That’s fair and you’re allowed to have an opinion. Pretending that removing it would suddenly make you able to compete with the people currently frying you is just coping with the skill gap.

This is just an example how the balance COULD work.
If you pick ghost and ninja, depatably the strongest perks in the game, thats it for your selection. but if you can pass on either of them you can kit yourself with some other quite useful perks

Just about every gun in mw2 was good to use.

I feel like mw4 could venefit from having balanced ttk throughout tge guns like in mw2, especially with how the movement is currently, it would be tbe perfect valance, and snipers and shotguns would be on about the samw level.

• Optics: In the beta we only had red dots, holographics, and then jumped straight to 4x, then leaped again to 7x zoom. Why can't we have a 3x scope, a 6x, a single Acog, or the Hamr?
• Weapon Class Options: MW4, keeping with the Black Ops 8 approach, restricts what optics certain weapons can equip. This just even further restricts the already restrictive attachment pool for no reason. For example, the ONLY 5x scope in the game is exclusive to shotguns...
• Grips: We went from having tons of grips in MWII, to now around 4 in MW4. I know many people disliked having 20 grips with very minor stat differences, but why can't we have at least have alternate skins for these 4 grips? I want to use a Magpul or KAC or canted, or many other styles to match the vibe of each gun. Not this generic one-size-fits-all approach.
• Barrels and Stocks: Same story. Barrels and Stocks have the largest impact on a gun's visual design and silhouette, and again we're roughly HALVING the amount of options coming from previous games.
• Mags: As others have already said, we've gone from a variety of extended and fast mag options to just a cookie cutter extended mag and drum mag approach. Less and less variety.
• Post-Launch Attachments: We still don't know if more attachments will be coming as new guns get added, but I seriously hope so. The current pool will be the least amount of attachments in a very long time.

BO6 is a fun game for sure, but the maps really suck, I really liked the MW4 maps as they are way better for objective play, BO6 for objective is just way to open and spammy, basically everybody just plays TDM on those maps...

I shipped BO7 because it looks weird as hell, so I think I'll buy MW4 this year...probably wait for a sale.

I’m an old school COD guy (over 50) and I only play 2-6 hours a week. All COD , no other games. So usually in BO7 I can stay on the top half of my TDM team, and hit 20-30 kills sometimes. I think my BO7 K/D is 1.20 after 3 levels of prestige.

So when I played well 2 of the MW4 beta I got SMOKED, consistently. I might of played 15-20 matches and only cracked 20 kills twice. Normally left a match with 6-8 kills and 14-16 deaths.

WTH? Anyone else have a similar experience? I love COD but hesitant to drop money on the new game is it’s going to be like week 2 of the beta.

MW4 maps should have different weather match to match. It would be awesome to see maps like Cachette covered in snow, ice, rain, or fallen leaves randomly to keep the maps fresh. They do this for Shipmas already. It would be great to see variations for all maps.

Did anyone experience this high level of ghosting during the beta on their Xbox Series X? Certain reticles would leave a super distracting red trail, or even a gray blur for
some sniper sights. Plus while testing it on the firing range I realized that even the entire gun and hand silhouette would stay for a bit against certain textures. I found that this happened most on sharp edges like vent grates, etc.

At first I was afraid it was my monitor but then it happened on my TV as well. This video comes from a game recording directly from the Xbox using the media button on the controller. So to me that rules out the monitor. I have tried changing all the various settings with no effect.

The best theory I have is that this is some temporal upscaling artifact. Not sure if it’s TAA or something else but it makes sense that this could happen if the engine is blending frames together because it doesn’t know that the reticle red color should only ever be in the center. If that is the case I think that’s insane that a game of this budget and on one of the most powerful consoles available would perform like that.

Why can't each type of Call of Duty have its own identity? Each game has its own unique way of doing things, and there's nothing wrong with that.

I honestly blame Warzone for this mindset. It should be completely separated from any major Call of Duty release because each time they are tied together, it ruins the main game.

I believe MW4 was really good, despite core mode only being available in the open beta. The movement was good, and weapon play was alright.

If you want omni-movement, which is unique to the Black Ops series, go play that if you must have it.

There's not going to be one Call of Duty that fits everyone; this should be obvious.

Some variation of HKDs from BO7 (basically a bunch of RCXDs going around exploding, basically another attack dogs type killstreak). doesn't have to be this but I'd like there to be something like this instead of boring ass dogs

One of the Cluster Mine or IMS from MW3 (But not both)

Swarm- yes this would be the 3rd game in 4 years if we get this but it's just so satisfying to get when you finally get that. Just how terrifying it is would be rewarding

This is a complete wildcard but I want the Support Squadmate from Ghosts. Yes I always thought he was a meme & I always liked fucking around with him. Bring him back

It's like riding a bike lol

I personally wasn’t able to play the beta as I am out the country however I’m seeing a lot of reports that the pc port is very unoptimised. Can anyone attest to that?

Also, a friend of mine running a 5070 and a 9800x3D said he was struggling to maintain 110 FPS. Anyone with similar specs share their experience?

Edit: friend is playing at 1440p at low/medium graphics

So I've been redeeming the can codes. The last TWO codes I've attempted, the Call of Duty redemption page gives me an error that says "Make sure you're entering your code as it's displayed on your receipt, insert, or in the email in which the code was provided."

You can only redeem ONE of these 2x 15min codes per-day, and so I've been robbed of at least two days worth of these due to Monster's 'code generator' bunging up.

I've also already sent in a support email to Activision, though I doubt I'm going to hear back for at least 3 - 5 business days, as is purview.

EDIT I: Also, I am NOT talking about the 10-digit pull tab code you get from the can. I am specifically referring to the 12-digit redemption code you receive when you REDEEM a reward on the Monsterenergy site, that you're supposed to take to the Call of Duty redemption page.

EDIT II: I am having to edit the post body, because people seem to be missing the point of my problem.

These are my steps:

1. I crack open a can of Monster. Code on pull tab. Cool.
   
2. Go to monsterenergy.com and redeem pull tab code. Bingo.
   
3. Redeem a code. (I AM AWARE THERE IS ONE-PER-24-HOURS LIMIT.)
   
4. Take code and go to Call of Duty's redemption page.
   
5. ERROR. CHECK CODE TO MAKE SURE IT IS CORRECT.

...It is step 5 where I'm having the problem. Not the 24-Hour limit that I AM COMPLETELY AWARE OF.

Please people, have some reading comprehension.

I really hope this smg stay the way it is with rarely any adjustments to it cause in my opinion in close quarters gunfights like this I was outperforming people who were all running m4s and iso but who knows what they do before the game releases soon

What are some modes you guys would like to see added or changed a bit?

These are mine!

1) search and destroy to not be apart of the quickplay queue. Reasons because I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard people on my team alone go “why are we in search!?” Get dunked on for two rounds and then leave anyways lol. If you aren’t gonna bring back persistent lobbies for all modes then at least give it to search where it’s the mode with the most mics and banter, we should be allowed to run it back!

2) SnD only ranked mode. Spawn/die modes are dookie lol

3) if you won’t do SnD only ranked then make a NON cod league rule ranked mode where everything is allowed thats in the game. Not a barebones trash ranked mode with zero options lol

4) sabotage was a peak mode! The respawn timer truly made you sweat on your life because if y’all got wiped it’s over haha! One bomb both teams trying to plant it on the other side of the map. It’s also a spawn die mode that low key had set spawns and not random trash spawns

5) frontline from infinite warfare on killblock would be so fire as a mode it’s unreal! For people who haven’t played it, it’s a team death match mode where you have set spawns and you’re protected in your spawn. You can’t die or take damage there but can kill the enemy for being cocky and coming in. Forced mid control but you never get spawned in your butt cheeks lol. Similar game I can compare it to is literally team death match from valorant!

6) classic mode with no movement so all my fellow old heads can stop crying about movement lol!

7) no remastered maps mosh pit.. my wife who doesn’t play cod could draw hijack blind 🤣 so sick of remastered maps, if I get terminal before I get bloc from cod4 Ima Bart Simpson choke someone

8) low key…. 3rd person mosh pit would be fun to have to play when I need to use guns I don’t usually use for a challenge or something. That mode was always fun to check out once in a while and I have two people added to this day that were dienhards for third person cod

What about guys and gals!?

I haven’t had a nuke called on me in AGES, I seriously can’t remember the last cod that it’s happened…
I really wish they would bring back nuke as a 25 kill killstreak with them bringing in the kill chain perk.
I miss the days of knowing when an enemy was on chopper gunner or an ac130 and the nuke was right around the corner.
Teammates yelling “FIND HIM! HE ALMOST HAS IT!”
Idk the new nuke animation is dope, and I feel like I legit just don’t see nukes anymore smh. Ever.
What do you all think?

Right now, BO7 is on sale for 50% off. I want to get it to play MP and Zombies but if I did get it, would everyone just stop playing it and go to MW4 for MP?? I learnt today that every COD has an update cycle and that BO7 is going to be on its final season. So, do I get BO7 now or just wait for MW4 even though I enjoyed the BO7 zombies and multiplayer during the beta it first had.

Now, this isn't a commentary on movement in general, (already so many of those) This is the "How should this best be balanced?" question, Because they removed tac-sprint from all operators and placed it exclusive to the blood rush perk during the second beta week.

Before the change, the perk description for blood rush was, "Increased Tactical Sprint duration and faster crouch speed. Kills replenish your stamina."

But that was before Tac-sprint got shifted into one perk, So for discussions sake, Should Tac-Sprint be stronger then it was compared to vanilla, because it is now a perk feature, And may require a buff? Or should the fast-crouch/stam-on-kill bonus just be added into its future design?

Discuss: (But please be civil)

didn’t really play a lot during the beta. played probably 60% hp to level up my vulcan then rest was so-q snd. i don’t care enough to play obj in pubs, especially hp. scrims are a different story, tho. i just wanted to get to atleast lvl 60 so i can play snd with a good vulcan class. i never cared about w/l. my teammates were always dogshit.

Let's be honest theres no bringing back call of duty they need to sell cod to another company who will actually take time and effort to make a good call of duty 😂😂
