Same here plus after every match it asks me if I want to go to prestige 12 and have to close it out every single match, before it was only after I leveled up

Some MP matches are fairly quick and closing that screen after every game has gotten old since it has a couple of seconds of a countdown every single time before it lets me do anything
Thats so weird. I take it you cant select to prestige? Just have to back out of it?

Well, Racket gets my vote for ‘face off map that has left the worst first impression’.

It might play better as I learn it, but it’s just too cross-cross for my liking - folk always popping up behind you.

It’s the new Shipment for sure

Side note it seems they finally patched out the opening gunsmith on new blueprints to equip guns bug as the new Scottie stays locked.

It still worked on the Sirin but not now

I think I am getting addicted to Prop Hunt. I've had a few Prop rounds where I got a good prop and a good spawn and just sat there undetected for the entire match. I'm trying to get better at Decoys, Stuns, and Changes when discovered.
Last night as a Hunter, a potted plant eluded me in Lowtown and it was hilarious.

GG's to those of you who have unlocked the Dark Matter camos. It has become a great source of frustration and sadness for me. Please don't judge me for that. I don't feel like explaining it and then getting questioned, challenged or debated about it.

As expected, the game feels MUCH better today than it did at launch...

I've never played Hacienda before, but that is proper map design. It will take me a few weeks to learn it, but I agree with the bellow post.. more big maps are needed

I'm quite enjoying Racket, embracing the chaos and racking up kills lol. Hacienda is interesting in how expansive it is compared to the standard BO6 fare but that doesn't mean I love it, still need to spend more time with it. Nuketown is...more Nuketown.

Damn Update reset some Loadouts. Scumbags!

Hacienda is a pretty map to look at. The cars are nice. But I wasn't feeling it in a TDM I just played.

Now it's on to Racket 24/7 to check that out.

QQ: If I run the Gearhead perk and I hack an enemy's equipment or Field Upgrade, is it mine forever or can they hack it back?

Even better QQ... Does NeoGAF have or use a clan or group tag in games? Like a clan tag in Call of Duty. I always just make up my own goofy tags and change them around. I'd rock GAF if it exists haha

I'm playing this on pc with high settings 1440p with dlss at balance and im convinced this game looks like ass on pc, mainly the character models.

I'm convinced if I were to download warzone on my ps5 the models would look way better .
Anything lower than quality with dlss makes it look like ass. Far too much shimmering. Try quality and turn on frame gen.

Don’t feel bad. This year is particularly grindy with some frustrating moments. My dm’s are open if you need specific advice for a challenge.
Racket > stakeout
Still up for debate for me. I played 4-5 matches last night and too many angles to get shot from. But could grow on me.

Good question! I’ve been hacking a lot of equipment lately and haven’t noticed anyone hacking it back.

lol. Not that I’m aware of! Happy for you to create one!

No one here wants to play together. I tried last year .. no luck

Congratulations. I think Zombies should have their own separate levelling though! :messenger_winking:
i said that a week ago and got flamed to hell

personally i find zombies boring as hell and never play it. prestige 8 level 21 only MP. diamon ARs and one gun away from diamond SMGs and LMGs. if i played zombies would easily have dark matter nebula prestige master etc but no one says how much they played zombies / mp ratio, but it's two completely different games basically.

i think it's on purpose for kids who play zombies to feel on the same level as MP.

after binging CoD over thanksgiving with the double xp i felt dumb like someone had scrapped my brain out with a spoon. turns out playing CoD literally makes you dumb


"
according to previous researchconducted by Dr. West, action video game players employ a particular kind of navigational strategy called “response learning,” which is based on forming a navigational “habit” and relying on it.
Response learning is also associated with a decrease in the gray matter of the hippocampus, which is a part of the brain linked to episodic memory and orientation. A low amount of gray matter in this brain area is related to Alzheimer’s disease, depressionTrusted Source, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
In looking at the effects of action video games on the hippocampus, Dr. West and his colleagues also took into account any links with the striatum, which is a brain area that receives signals from the hippocampus.
The striatum also contains the caudate nucleus, which plays an important role in the formation of habits and procedural memory – that is, the kind of memory that we rely on to know how to walk, swim, or ride a bicycle.
According to existing researchTrusted Source, Dr. West and his colleagues note that “the caudate nucleus shares an inverse relationship with the hippocampus.”
This means that if we rely too much on habit and procedural memory, we end up underusing the active learning capacities promoted by the hippocampus. This may cause the hippocampus to atrophy, leading to an unhealthy brain structure overall."



i think i'm done with this game at least binging on it anyway.

Damn I play COD a lot and feel I am fairly sharp yet but maybe not :)

depends on how you ply i guess. i would think this effect is lowered if you play more "brain on" as people say, strategizing and paying attention to spawns, positioning, teammates etc
Even worse I grinded the shit outta zombies in brain dead mode

This skin bombardment.. I swear revenue will be at its highest point ever for CoD with this one.

Still haven’t purchased a single cosmetic. Jaws nearly got me just for the Australian sticker.

That's me finished the battle pass. Man the final rewards are shockingly bad. Gobblegum (no idea what it does, irrelevant for MP), 200 cod points, and that woke operator along with an emblem and calling card with her dumbass haircut on it.

Some very weak rewards, did you see the level 1000 master prestige reward?

I mean its ok but for grinding out like 1500+ levels?

Akimbo Saugs are the new, cheap build for Racket, it is what it is lol

Discovered one tiny Easter egg in Citadel du Morts, you can shoot the the pool balls and get a little bonus essence 👌

Edit: to be clear, I'm not using them but others sure love to. I like running Val

There is no way il be grinding to level 1000 regardless. If I can get to 100 and then be able to choose my level emblem il be happy with that. What is that gun? Just a blueprint? Who is that operator?

No idea on who that is or what gun that is.

I highly doubt I get even close to 1000 either

I can’t ever remember a game that can feel so good for a few games then the next several just weird shit happens like dropping before ever seeing someone or getting a hit marker in hardcore with a SMG only to lose the fight to a pistol

Ybarra always said this game had a form of experience based match making and I 100% believe him
