I'd nearly be tempted to pick it up again to give that a go!

Was wondering if SHG would adopt the popular Battlegrounds/Battle Royal mode.

That’s only on the Chinese online PC version developed by Raven.

Although we will be getting the War mode from World at War back according to rumours along with Gun Game.
Winter event kicks off on Friday so I expect a big update patch tomorrow/Thursday

Been away since launch. Coming him today and gonna finally get to play the game. Is there still connection issues? I remember people complaining about it here. What's your views 1 month in?

Still enjoy the game generally. I have a few issues though.

Last night started having issues again when a game finished it would just go to a screen that I couldn't back out of and find a new lobby and dump me into a game. no scoreboard, change class etc. only way to get out was to join new game and quit. Tried hard point and it was laggy so turned it off.

Found lately that I am finding the games more difficult. Trying out different weapons means I get ruined and end up going back to Bar/FG42/grease/ppsh to compete. Also don't know about anyone else but I run primed on every class. My K/D after the first 10 hours of game play was ~1.5 now its down to 1.2

After I prestiged and unlocked the BAR and Primed I really don't feel that I am missing anything. Not like other CODs where I had a number of perks/weapons that I really had to think before using a permanent unlock token.

I'm finding that rushing is a death sentence. Could be that I am getting older but game seems to encourage walking around not running. (just like real life )

I have started playing mainly war as KD does not matter at all but 3 maps is starting to get monotonous.

So far it's the worst COD I've played and I'm not saying that lightly. Been playing since W@W.

Hopefully this mode will be fun and I'll start playing the game again.

This is isn't just in your head. The sprint-out times in this game are apparently the slowest in the COD series (See the video I posted recently on this thread)

It’s grand Mark! big patch coming in the next few days, Headquarters are still empty but that’s no big deal. I have not experienced any connection issues in the last 3 weeks. It is extremely slow ranking up. Quickscoping is pretty bad, the BAR And PPSH are the “go to” guns at the moment. Maps aren’t that bad imho once you get used to the way they flow. Couple of map glitches that hopefully will be fixed in the coming patch. It’s a boots on the ground COD game so it’s going to be a lot slower Ipace then Blops3/Advanced Warfare/Infinite Warfare.
But I’m enjoying it one month in.

Yeah its ok, one thing I feel the kill streaks aren't that great, very boring actually. There is no mid range streak (like a stealth chopper Blops2) that you feel is worth it and will excite you. Its just a variation of dropping bombs:(


For Example I think at least the strafing run you should get two passes at least, you are lucky to get only one kill with it as it is.


I am using the requisitions perk where you don't loose your streak but they cost more. You could get a paratrooper drop handy enough or at least every odd game. 24 kills roughly for this

I find the game overall incredibly boring, the maps are pretty crap and it just feels like a chore to play after a few rounds. I loved World at War, so this is especially disappointing. Even though the whole lasers/jetpacks/wall-running stuff is not for me, I still thought Black Ops 3/Infinite Warfare were decent enough. COD: WW2 is just seriously missing something. Almost finished the campaign (which is pretty OK once it gets going, but nowhere near as good as Infinite Warfare), and then it's getting traded back in. Can't even find motivation to play it mostly when there's such brilliant stuff like Overwatch/BF1 out there as well...not to mention the older COD titles.

I would say it's hands down the poorest COD in a long time. Not a terrible game, but just very average.

Think i have maybe used prime once or twice didn't see the benefit of using it although i have bang on every class which seems pretty under used especially in war

Update has just dropped. Rather annoyingly kicked out of online and can’t go back on till the update completes.

It’s only380mb or so for PS4. Has a new menu does not default you to hq. You only having to go into it if you want. Still empty though.

Patch notes don’t seem to be released yet

If you rush it is vital. Helps reduce flinch and at least gives you a small chance to win a gunfight. New patch apparently reduces flinch so might try out some other basics now

meh tbh. Have stopped playing it.

Fairly crap/boring maps and a seriously retarded perk system.

I'll come back if/when they fix the perk system(break up the class bolloxology),give players extra large heads and include dinosaurs on at least 2 of their maps.

Also slow leveling up as they want you to spend money on those fukking loot boxs so you can maybe get 10 minutes bonus xp.

War is a decent enough change to be fair. Can't comment on SP or Zombies as I have no interest in them.

This. This is what I felt before I traded it in. It's a step backwards imo, it doesn't do anything new, and it doesn't make me want another game, which only happened with Ghosts previously.

Good to see they fixed connection issues anyway and have dedicated servers turned back on

minidazzler

Since the patch I've been having a quit **** connection for reasons i don't understand....my connection is **** hot so i usually end up host but I'm not now!

Going 27-6 in one game followed by 4-22 in the next.

Having dedicated servers on doesn't mean you'll always get a game going through one. There's still a chance of getting put into the old 'listen-server' style we've been used to because AFAIK they use a hybrid system

That's probably the case in your screenshot

Sledgehammer Games have zero tolerance towards cheaters. They have put in a ban system for cheaters as of the update. However, a lot of players have complained that they have been banned for absolutely no reason erasing their stats. Thank god I've not been one of them.

Anyone have some tips for holding your own on USS Texas? I'm getting on fine on all other maps except this one, getting creamed everytime and normally with 2x/3x deaths to kills

All I could say is don't spend too long in the middle section purely because there are just too many angles in which you could be flanked. I like to run the routes along the sides to go between spawns because it's easier to cover my angles

Yep they use hybrid. Was more sarcasm as it was first game on after the patch.

In fairness since the patch in HQ I am noticing a lot more Irish names in the player names and clan tags/logos.

BAR does not feel that much different and I’ve started using other basics like hustle as primes is useless now unless you want the extra attachment. Driftor did a vid that showed flinch with primed can actually be worse than without primed after the patch

My connection is still all over the place though. Some games feels perfect and then I get a lobby that is just sh1t.

I don't think that analysis is fair to be honest. It's a return to form and a refreshing change from the ADD jetpacks and wall running of the last 3 iterations.I'm getting black ops 2 vibes from the MP and the campaign is a solid engrossing story.

The only 2 COD games I'd class as pure ****e are Ghosts and Black Ops 3..Ghosts purely because the MP was torture and campaign was **** and Black Ops 3 because of everything from the MP to its clever/not clever cluster**** of a campaign.

At least sh1t ops 2 had a functional perk system with some very good maps.CoD WW2 doesn't.......

Yeah, I'd class all the BlOps above this one, and i'm not a massive fan of the BlOps ones!

Anyone else think they didn’t go far enough with the global flinch update?

Was rolled out in thursdays playlist update

Ha me too. Its because of this map I got my first gold weapon (Lee Enfield) :P:D

Either that or hang out in the middle with the combat shotgun and bouncing bettys and incendiary shells can be fun/irritating at the same time for the craic.

Got the AR's diamond today, getting the SVT-40 gold was some grind. SMG's next

Just had 2 games back to back on gustaf canon and it was cancer. Worst experience I have ever had in a cod game. Snipers snipers everywhere and not a chance to be had

I guess I've been very lucky 'cause I've not met a single quickscoper in any of my games so far I've played.

No Map packs when they drop next year you will have to buy them the first will drop in January. This winter event is free to play for all players and you get to play on the winter version of Carentan which was a bonus map for season pass holders until the start of January.

I know but that's just the design of that map it suits Snipers. I'm not a sniper and even I Snipe on that map to get challenges done.:)
