Not this level

But Ybarra told me one thing that has been becoming a problem for console only lobbies are PC programs that he called spoofing the COD servers that allows those on PC to join console only lobbies and those guys have access to these kinds of cheats

I asked if this was a widespread problem and he said it wasn't a huge issue but for sure was on Acti radar and was a growing problem.

I'm not sure what's going on but playing it through gamepass it's showing me on Xbox, which is wrong, but since Phil said every PC is an Xbox I feel much better about it.
 
Already got a cheater banned. Loving this so far though. All guns seem decent.. but that SMG is broken AF lol,
 
I really like it. Moshpit is the shit.

I keep getting like burst lag. It's like when you're streaming a game and it causes then everything catches up a half second later.

I'm sure you can get some cool moments with the omni dives but right now they just seem to be like salmons leaping into my gunsight for easy kills
 
i'm getting some weird hitching on series x... like right when i kill someone or die myself my game hitches for a second then goes back to normal. Anyone else experiencing this on console?

Yeah me, I've logged for the night because it was becoming more frequent and annoying.

Have they implemented different icons for the xbox app? Because that has never been the case before with any other game, since using the xbox app means you are on the xbox network, so you get the xbox icon.
Also for cod specifically I think only battle.net shows all the different platforms, the battle.net icon, the tower for steam, and xb/ps symbols for those networks, the consoles will never show any other icon cept their own, a screen for the other or a tower for either BN/steam.
The code in the bottom right of the screen should mention what platform your using, which means activision can detect every different version correctly (xbsx for xbox console, wingdk for xbox app, bnet, steam etc..) so maybe they can create a different logo for the xbox app one, maybe just straight up the windows logo.

That stuff is on consoles as well thanks to this being on last gen.

A lot of the current hacks are because the beta was playable on hacked PS4s the entire month of August.

Just searched Black Ops 6 aimbot on YT. I saw video with private match with bots from 2 weeks ago with working cheats/aimbot... So cheats were working before game was out for closed beta. Good thing I will try this on PS5 then, I can't imagine where is the fun in that at all but also Activision should get their shit together.

This is from 7 days ago

Try to enjoy the game / lobby when someone is using this shit on Hardcore Death Match. Looks like bots but online this dude would be unstoppable. This is not even funny...

Well I just tried the beta today and some interesting changes from mw3.

•controller auto aim has been nerfed to oblivion. It feels like it takes skill again. It feels better a lot better but does make close encounters feel a bit weird.

•acquiring attachments is exciting again because there are no negative side effects of using them?

•seems to run great on the ally same as mw3.

•the movement system feels really smooth. I thought it would be a nightmare with people flying around everywhere but so far so good.

•unfortunately my pc anti virus thought it was malware and ended up quarantining and then deleting files critical to the beta 😂

•so Xbox and ally for now.
 
The gameplay pace feels nice, the gunplay is a bit improved from Cold War, the movement feels responsive if a bit jittery, and the TTK seems just right.

All that said, I'm quite disappointed that even after an extended development cycle and a move to the new shared engine, the weapon audio still sounds very limp in comparison to IW's titles. What gives, Treyarch?
 
Game is very good, fixed alot of the issues, especially attachments, movement feels good and gameplay.

One of the coolest additions (don't think I've seen this in previous titles) is the HUD customisation, if your a streamer, content creator, like to have your key stats next to your gun etc., took a screenshot below

Is Xbox the TV looking thing? (when playing on PS5)

On consoles:

  • "Tower" = PC
  • "TV Screen" = the other console. So if you are on Xbox then the PS4 players will be shown with a TV screen symbol. And if you are on PS4, the Xbox players will be shown with the same TV screen symbol.

Model textures aren't bad I think

I guess I was not seeing things yesterday because I didn't see the little PC tower next to the "xbox network" thing



bottom right doesn't have anything obvious but obviously they have a way of detecting it

Been playing for a bit and there's definitely a learning curve, getting used to the gunsmith. However, my biggest gripe is getting into a match, finishing it, then it kicks me out ( or if I go into the gunsmith or other option) and just sits on finding match indefinitely. The find match box is gone on the bottom left and never shows. The only fix is: play a round, get dropped, close out MWlll app or close to CD HQ, and then go through the process of opening the game for the first time. Anyone else experiencing this?
 
After over an hour of installing the COD app, installing the beta, making an account, I got so far as it just repeatedly crashing. PC gaming can be a bitch.
 
Omnimovement is the best new addition to Call of Duty in years. Definitely going to be playing this for a while, and get raged.
 
1. Update the game
2. Launch the game
3. Read message game needs to be updated and must restart
4. Quit to desktop
5. Relaunch the game
6. Launch beta from within the launcher
7. Game needs to restart to launch beta
8. Read through and agree to a bunch of terms
9. Wait for shaders to compile
10. Finally play

Total pain in the ass

As for the gameplay, "omnimovement" is over-hyped. It's pretty good but really it's just being able to sprint left/right/reverse now and move around on your back while prone. Stranglehold / Max Payne except first person and no bullet time.

Visibility is again trash. I'm playing at 4K DLSS Quality but it's hard to tell people apart. Sometimes I shoot at my teammates because they look like the enemy, sometimes I don't shoot at the enemy thinking it's my teammate. The environment looks very flat overall and I'm gaming on a top shelf OLED TV. Maps are just a cluttered mess.

Guns feel and sound weak… like Fortnite and not MW 2019. The gun balancing also feels off but that's on par for COD. A few guns are meta, they get nerfed after a while new ones get souped up. An SMG shouldn't outperform an AR in every situation.

Ultimately, if you like COD you'll certainly like this game, but for me it doesn't live up to the hype. It's a good game though.
