DMZ was pretty fun. Only tried one session, and can see myself playing it from time to time. I dont know how to exfil from the map, ended up just walking around and exploring the map until the whole team died to AI. Loved Shoothouse, granted its the same exact map but with a different skin. I like it.

If you pull up the map there are designated exile spots. They look like helicopters I think. You call it in and wait for it.

I may have gone a little overboard.

These guys were probably just trying to relax after a long day at work/school and I ruined it.

Anybody else's game on PC run like shit? I have a RTX 3080 and the latest drivers but I'm getting like 70fps on Basic Settings @1440p with DLSS on...

I actually ended up switching back to PS5 since it runs way better in the 120fps mode and it has gyro.

Welp, I encountered my first cheater. I’m not sure if it was a once in a lifetime glitch or if they were doing it on purpose. The player managed to get under the center of the map in Shoot House. They were just looking up and shooting people no problem through the ground. Acuna90 if you see them.

I'm surprised there isn't more outrage on here regarding Warzone 2 being a buggy mess. It is by far the buggiest game I have ever played in my entire life. Constant disconnects, voice chat issues, lobbies getting stuck in an endless loop and the match never starting, lag, buy stations glitching out and not allowing dead players to be bought back.

It was a rough ass launch day.

I just stick to 6v6. I have seen some streams though and it looks rough around the edges. I’m sure they’ll pump out a hotfix before Thanksgiving break.

Only bug I found was I fell through the map in DMZ after I was downed.

Simple, you play invasion, come as close as possible to their spawn point and mow down NPCs that are spawning every few seconds. Their aim and awareness is shit. Which is why people play Invasion to easily level up weapons. Also this isn't a normal 6v6 where the goalpost is 100, its 2.5 times higher so again, you have ages to rack up those kills.

So there’s a work around my friends and I used all evening. Instead of R3 and inviting, push options, tab over to channels, create a “channel” and invite your friends and you can match make that way.

I love this game, but less is more guys. This is the most comically over engineered interface I’ve ever seen.

Well sure Invasion is probably a good way to level up guns but that pic is from normal 6v6 Hardpoint on Taraq lol.

I used to play exclusively on controllers on PC, but after having multiple 150 dollar ones break down, for a few months I've gone all in on M/K. However For some reason COD is ridiculously hard to play against controller players, and it feels like especially true in MW2, its like wtf is going on.. M/K used to be an advantage, but it sure as hell isn't anymore.

Anyway, I gave up trying to join up with friends yesterday, the social panel bugged out, it just doesn'twork, hope it's patched soon..

Just played Warzone 2.0 for 14 hours straight except for a quick dinner break. First win was on my second or third match. Ping was horrible the entire time but that didn't stop me. Had some fun moments with proximity and text chat. I really hope they don't take that away.

DMZ unfortunately crashed 2/2 times I tried, so I'm holding off, but it seems really fun as well.

Game definitely favors controller. There's a reason why most mouse/keyboard players are actually using a controller for this game. I personally would rather lose than use one, since mouse aiming is most of the fun for me.

You can get around the broken social menu by clicking on the headphone icon at the top, then right clicking on your party/channel and selecting Invite. Another way is to load into any multiplayer game (can be private) and the social menu should work normally from there.

Thanks man - saw the solution on Reddit and can confirm this works until the bug gets patched.

I used to always play on hardcore mode (tier mode in this one), but God damn. I tried out some 6v6 team deathmatch tonight and got absolutely destroyed in almost every match.

I've only put in like 20 hours so far in total, though. But on core, I was in top 3 every time. Not hardcore. It was the opposite on MW2019. Did much better in hardcore.

Shoot House was a nice addition, though.

Man, very first match of Solo BR and I finished 2nd.

Really enjoyed my few rounds of DMZ as well.

I will mostly play Ground War and Invasion but I am looking forward to having some fun with Warzone.

I am playing on the PS5 and the haptics aren't working — I figured they would have fixed it by now, specially with the recent update but no luck. It has only worked once in a match for me. I had no issues with that on Vanguard. Anyone else experiencing the same?

I tried this method a few times last night and killed the guy twice and actually looted his gun for about 10 seconds before someone else came in and killed me

Seems like this method will work just might take a few goes at it.

I might try it again some today but if I cant get it in a few shots I will just wait for the store bundle

Tried Warzone today, just solos. So going in completely blind with not a fucking clue on where to go.

Escaped a couple of rough situations. Managed what I'd say was a very respectable 8th. The guy who killed me had his loadout, I had a crate AK-74 but it had two attachments.
Hopefully squad up with my mates tonight and go for trios or quads.

Yeah but they're all technically linked to each other i think? You gotta clear out a tile and then choose an adjacent group, repeat until they're all claimed.

This game has the worst server/stability issues I've experienced in a mp game as of recently, and I played BF2042 at launch. Constant stutters, teleporting all over the place, can't pull up friends list, the shitty xp tokens not having a in game timer, etc.

I enjoy it when theirs no issues which is rare. Of course my fear of these issues not being addressed before Waezone came true cause it's the worst when playing that. I've parachuted and will randomly not be able to control my direction, completely freeze, or the game will catch up so fast that my character is under the map still parachuting.

Game needs some serious work. I hope people give this game as much shit as BF2042 cause it needs to be addressed asap.

Also because some might ask this is on PC with a 4090/13700k/32gb of DDR5.
