That is for sure the next level they need to take this game.

Yea. They need to take shit to the next level. Enough of the status quo. This is a WAR game. And this is arguably the biggest dev team in the industry, with a practically unlimited budget. How people don't make more noise about this is beyond me. Reddit should be full of people demanding destructible environments like they do 60fps games.

For Ground War maps sure that would be awesome. I wouldn’t want destruction in my 6v6 arcadey maps tho. Those are for runnin and gunnin.

I just tried my very first match in multiplayer and used these settings... did fine but it seems overly aggressive and twitchy? I feel like this COD is geared more towards mid-long range engagements but doing anything with this control setup makes me scream forward with my gun in the air haha i might tweak it a bit i dunno.

Played on keyboard and mouse for the first time last night, game was transformed. It's SO much better. Being a CoD player with a controller since OG Xbox days it never occured to me to just try. Welp never going back now. I don't consider myself as dexterous on K&M as I am on controller, especially in heated combat, but overall the control I have now is just unparalleled. inb4 "well no shit" lulz

A few questions regarding the maps.
I have been playing TDM for a hour or two and I notice how we keep coming back to the same map a bit too fast. Weren't there like 11 maps for TDM? It should work off a list of maps, right? Or does it randomly select them? Because we had the race track, we had the market, two others and then we went back to the market again.
And as for third person mosh pit, I'm quite liking third person in this game but it only seems to have a few maps, not as many different ones as the first person modes?

Weird, bought the vault edition and it's not registering. Restored my list, rebooted and playing the store or battle pass wont even come up in the menus. You would think they would have this shit worked out by now.
The battle pass doesn’t start until November 16th and the store has been like that on and off since yesterday, just check your operators, if you have Ghost, Soap, Price and Farah and the cinder blueprints for guns your vault edition is all fine.

Thanks for the info!, now why would they start the battle pass after launch.

I'll check this out tomorrow.
Anything about the HDR settings? I've left them at default for now.

I am surprised how much I am enjoying the multiplayer, though Im an Old and havent played a cod for many years, it all still seems comfortable and familiar. Level 31 after playing a lot last night and today, and for a filthy casual I do pretty good, usually top 3 on the team at least, so the sbmm seems to be working in my experience. You just go into every match knowing youre gonna die a lot and not worry about it cause you respawn so quick.

Man Im playing on PC and I get a crash to desktop with the error report box at least hourly... maybe every 30 to 45 minutes.
This exact same thing was happening in the Beta and I wrote it off as just a bug.
Now its still happening on release... im playing in a party with Friends who are on Xbox and Im on PC if that matters.
Anyone else having this issue?? So frustrating... its almost making the game unplayable it happens so often. I cant even get through more than 1 or 2 full matches.
Ive done the "run as administrator" and "driver updates" song and dance already, no luck.

Widespread issue unfortunately. Now its out in the wild i'd expect hotfixes for this kind of thing fairly quickly.

The campaign was so-so. Too many stealth sections which I don't like in general, and particularly don't like in a CoD game where I just want to shoot shit. There was also some frustrating sequences where my squadmates turn to statues and do nothing while I get swarmed - namely Price at the end of the Ghost Team mission. The graphics are impressive though with some cool action sequences, with an interesting enough story to keep things moving, and gunplay is (not surprisingly) on point.
Moved on to MP and it wasn't as disastrous as I anticipated. I'm a filthy casual potato, but was able to manage a 1.0+ K/D in my first 4-5 matches and probably would have fared even better if I had a clue about any of these maps and wasn't getting constantly snuck up on. It helped that the campaign rewards you with a Union Guard M4 blueprint, so I didn't feel underpowered weapons-wise. I fully expect SBMM to kick in soon enough though and my geriatric ass will start getting stomped.
The UI, as many others have said, is a convoluted mess. I mean, why can't I even see any sort of timer on my XP tokens? Inexcusable oversight.

I know the museum map has gone missing but has anyone played on the Amsterdam Hotel that was in the beta? I'm already level 55 with six guns maxed and I haven't played on that map once? Maybe I'm not playing the right modes? My core 5 have been TDM, Domination, kill confirmed, Hardpoint, HQ, and a couple rounds of ground war.
Also, if you use your Double XP tokens, there doesn't seem to be a countdown clock to know how much time you have left once you've activated it. If anyone knows how to look/find it in this crap UI let me know because I've just been using the timer on my phone. This seems like a big oversight if it's not in the game.

This is the 1st call of duty I’ve bought since Advanced Warfare. Love it. The campaign. Multiplayer. The jaggy and sometimes low resolution of the Series S version. Gives it that old school video game feel.
Kinda reminds me of Blops 2 on WiiU in terms of the fun I’m having.
Love the grounded feel to the campaign.
Money well spent

Yes. There was a glitch that if you marked someone when you died it would track them the entire match for the enemy team.

At the risk of sounding like a casual potato gamer, I look forward to COD campaigns, and this one is my favorite since Infinite Warfare.
Multi-player has been a blast. Played with friends for around 12 hours and I lost track of time. Not often that that happens to me these days.
Easily the best COD since MW 2019.

There is no traditional prestige in this game, only seasonal prestiging. Right now, you can't prestige at all, becauae the first season hasn't even started yet.

The hotel map is on rotation, I’m playing mostly the same game modes as you but am only level 27, but I have only played it maybe 2/3 times max, it’s by far the map that’s come up the least in my experience in these modes.

Does anyone know how map selection works in this game?
Played all evening yesterday, team DM in both first and third person matches and it seems the latter has very few maps. And in the normal team DM we got the same maps quite often. Does it randomly select maps? I thought it would just work off a list of maps in order each time.

Breenbergh? Yesterday I got it twice in a row. It rotates a lot for me. Usually on Dom or TDM.
You're spot on bro. The campaign was too much stealth, and eventually they sort of tried to ape Last of Us with makeshift weapons and more stealth. CoD to me is mostly just set pieces of grandeur. With the stealth and sneaking here, it feels more low key. And the few set pieces, like the highway, they weren't well done. I think the first half of the campaign was good (esp. the Mexico mission, and the all ghillied up retake), but the latter half is bottom of the barrel for me.
To be honest I even liked the Vanguard campaign better than the rest of the MW2 campaign. The flamethrower assault on the bunkers in the pacific theatre for example, the sniper level with the girl and the face off against the top nazi (i know they aped TLOU again), the final level where you rotate between all heroes... I had some fun there.
MP is decent. Its less frustrating to me than MW 2019. I think the skins are better visible and there is camping, but it seems to be less. The map design in general feels better to me. SBMM is rampant. It mix up very good games with terrible games, but I just exit out if I don't like the flow.

Gamespot:
For the On-Demand Texture Streaming, it's unclear how much data this uses. If you have unlimited data then it can't hurt to turn it on, but set this to off or limited if you have a data cap. You could set the setting's download limit to something small. It also requires 25GB of extra storage, which is something you might not want to use up.

Whoever came up with the idea of the perk system needs to be fired ASAP.
The first team that gets a UAV usually wins. UAVs are by far the best killstreak now and they only require 4 kills. There have been times when the enemy had like 6(!) UAVs in the sky at once. Of course, I'm the only one shooting them down. I'm really forcing myself to level 55. Such a shitty experience.
Tip: If you are on console, deactivate HDR. Without HDR. you can turn up the brightness which helps seeing things.

I did some Googling and yep, on PC you can access brightness/HDR settings but on console you're fucked, unless you want to remove your save file.
What....the.....fuck? So if you were to buy a new TV, and you have the wrong settings for HDR, you'd need to delete all your progress. Who came up with this?

they need to sort out the spamming of kill streaks in invasion, i spawn and get hit with a cluster strike or whatever right off the bat at our hq. happens way to often, shouldn’t be able to target the spawn like that.
is crossplay between xbox and pc having trouble? can’t invite my friend on pc for some reason

SP wise? Because MP i would say it's fine but nothing too special. The gap between SP and MP stays huge. I get that for modes where you have tons of players but for team DM graphics like SP would be very welcome. It doesn't work that way, I know.

Maybe I was just unlucky yesterday but it does seem there aren't a lot of maps for it though, sadly. We kept getting about three different ones and there should be waaaaaay more.

I think because it's a 'Moshpit' the maps rotate daily. Hopefully we get some actual dedicated modes soon.
