Maybe mine was like that too, after all the reboots I lost track. This is because of their stupid, ugly launcher.

On my Xbox I just installed beta, it launched asked for another update. Then I was playing, whole 5 minutes it took before I got into the actual game from end of initial installation. Need to test it on PC now.
Btw. I am still shit at it, only level 5, but played 4 matches so fat, need to learn the maps and pickup the best load-out for myself.

It doesn't take long on PC with gamepass... I think I got a 6gb download the morning of and then after 1 or 2 game restarts I was in.
It stupid that we have to go into HQ and then launch the beta and I think it was the same with MWIII

I think that HQ is with us to stay, unfortunately.

When you tac sprint you put your gun 'away', so have less time to react. TAC sprint is meant to be used sparingly imo.
Having not played CoD PvP properly for a while I really like it. It doesn't slow down the game like a walk/crouch but intermediary sprint does have a small ads penalty. TAC sprint has the highest penalty but gets you to cover/concealment quicker.
I think at the moment a lot of people seem to just be sprinting and abusing omni dives, or trying to.
Generally I think it's really well balanced though and allows a number of different playstyles to be competitive.

Isn't there tac stance?Feels good so far, definitely different from MWIII though, missing my tac stance already.
TTK feels kinda fast though.
I haven't tried it, but I definitely saw a laser attachement that improves TAC stance just a minute ago.

There's definitely cheating already.
This is why I preordered for PS5, even though I'll have it "free" on Xbox/PC gamepass.
I know you can disable crossplay in the system settings on Xbox, but it's cumbersome and I shouldn't have to do that just for one game.

Yep, this is a huge problem with omnimovement. Unless they fix it so you don't stop shooting while doing it, it's just a very predictable free kill.

Yeah this is so frustrating.
When BO6 finally hits will it be possible just to load it directly from Steam or will you have to go through the "Call of Duty" launcher every time?

I think the beta is till mid-week for those that pre-ordered or use game pass and goes for another few days after that for a real open beta.

im really liking the beta so far the only issues ive had.
1.) Has anyone had trouble playing with friends? We would get in one match and then it would kick us all saying update after every single match. usually took 20 minutes to link back up between matches
2.) Am i remembering wrong? Am I old? Has CoD always been this fast paced. The last time I played a lot was MW2 back in the day and I dont remember all the springting. The bane of my existence is the people diving from hallways spraying wildly lol

The running and jumping sideways and different directions is going to take people time to adapt.
I had a guy jump out peakaboo style and land on his side like he's doing a shoot for GQ. Couldn't aim worth a damn after the initial move and easily shot him. I had the same issue which helps a little to playing with a mouse but I think it's going to take quick reflexes to properly aim while doing dives like that.

Yes, MWIII can be even faster with movement speed

Probably not since it's part of COD HQ which has to be downloaded to play it.

When do I have to get to level 20 for the weekend 1 rewards? Is it end if today or the 4th?
The beta is continuous. They add more levels and open it up for everyone on Friday.

I think it's about the exact same for all the betas back to Vanguard. The final version always plays better and looks better.

The excitement of it being new makes me do this a lot too, but I can see that it causes more harm than good. Instead of thinking it's a GQ model pose, I thought it was more like poop stuck to the side of a toilet, but your description is more classy.

I had same issues in MW2 and 3, packet bursts etc constantly and I still get them now in BO6, best way to play at times is console

It's been fast paced but the last 5-6 years or so have gotten worse with it, almost solely catering to the SMG GO BRR crowd who can't stop sprinting and mashing their jump paddle because thats "skill" now.
The new MW 2 tried to slow it down (and it was the best of the recent CoDs, Fight me.) but of course all the zoomers cried about it because they might have to stop and think before they go rushing around.

Kinda why ive been enjoying Valorant more lately. Being more tactical and reminds me of CS 1.6 with hero powers.

That's not what he's asking, there's an exclusive weekend one reward that public beta players won't have access to.
I don't think it's exclusive. It's the level 20 reward. Meaning you can unlock that in weekend 1. Then there are more rewards in weekend 2.

No it literally says weekend one exclusive, you can't unlock the green squish operator skin with the public beta.
Well in-game it says 3 days.

Usually the in-game counter means how many days are left. But I'd do it today just to be safe.

If anything, this beta has given me the impression that you don't need 4 years to make a CoD game. Wtf have they done all this time? The game looks worse than MW2019 on Xbox One X. The bigger map lacks verticality. The animations are bugged. The sound hasn't improved. Wtf is this? Glad it's on gamepass, I'm not wasting money on this.

I like that this feels like a very different game to MW2 and 3. I have played 6 or 7 matches and it gets two thumbs up from me. Even Map design is very different which surprised me.

So far i've liked all of the maps EXCEPT the little city map with the busses in the middle on the left side of the map. Not really the layout as much as the overly simple geometry and textures. Feels like something that is fan made or created in Halo Forge etc. My favorite map is Derelict with the train cars all through the middle of the map. Great map!
