Call of Duty Modern Warfare Beta |OT| This Beta be Gud

TGO

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
I'm also on a pro, and its jittery as futck when panning
Personally looks worse than 2v2
No minimap is irrelevant because the uav is constantly up, so its basically who can keep a uav up the longest, who wins
Can't say I'm seeing this.

I suspect it’s not locked 60 on pro at 4K. Feels like the 2v2 situation previously frame counted by DF or someone.

Not feeling the Beta death match after a handful of rounds so far. But like anything, intricacies need to be learnt and understood for proper appreciation.

Missing the 2v2, that shit had me hooked. Do we know if the mode is coming back during the beta period?
 
My thoughts after 3 hours and reaching lvl 10 (current level cap I suppose)

- announcer is annoying as hell, had to turn off all voices immediately
- editing load outs during gameplay is great
- game feels a lot slower then recent call of duty games, sprint speed seems to have been reduced significantly
- mounting weapons to surfaces or door frames is cool and useful in certain situations
- weapons have recoil again, smg's are not OP anymore - so it seems
- having grenades back is also welcome, everybody swapped them out for additional gun attachments in blops.
- having NO mini map by default is a godsend, it forces players to look at the game again and not only at the mini map.
- downtime between rounds is short (no need for it anyway, since you can edit your class in game now), you spent a lot of time playing and not much time waiting
- maps are ok-ish, nothing exceptional, nothing horribly bad either

all in all a solid experience, I think I'll buy the full game once it's available.

My goto class at the moment is:

AK47 + Muzzle Break + Solozero Optics Mini Reflex +angled foregrip + perk fully loaded
Perks: double time, high alert and shrapnel
Secondary: anti air missiles



I play on pro in 1080P and the image looks a lot cleaner then the 2vs2 beta a couple of weeks ago. The vaseline effect seems to have been reduced. I also have zero complaints on the performance side, it appears to run in 60fps all the time.

In regards to sprinting, there are two modes to running/sprinting in MW. You hold down L3 and do a double click and hold L3 to sprint much faster. Sprint 1 - Gun held horizontally/slant Sprint 2 - Gun held vertically on one hand.

Beta is pretty fun so far. Hope they add search and destroy and ground war to it at some point. I think they really need to reduce your aim while in mid air, it is pretty ridiculous to see everyone jumping around like a rabbit. I guess it still has to be COD tho...

I was wondering why I was sprinting so slow, but I welcome that slower sprint. It's really helped to improve my game a bit. I was dominating most of my playtime and I usually suck at these games on console. I'm sure once the real game comes out, I'll be getting rekt immediately.
 
He's literally the only guy up until this point who says it's bad, and you notice that contra the twenty positive posts.

Talk about post picker.

Yeah idk wtf others are talking about. New beta looks way better than two v two which was smeary Vaseline looking. On my pro this is smooth, I love how it feels.

This feels really, really good. I'm liking it. More than any CoD since MW2/Blops1.

I agree. I actually quite like the minimal gone as well. At least, for now. I think if I try to play with more friends, my communication with then and they with me will need to get better. So far, saying, he’s in the warehouse in a map full of warehouses just isn’t cutting it.

I’m not an expert on weapons and weapon balance... so, I’ll be curious to see how many do or don’t like the balance. I’ve read a few complaints on that so far.
 
I get the feeling the x1x is gonna trounce the pro visually as the game looks like it has vasolene over the screen which makes some encounters hard to make out

Also if you are running around against a team with headsets you are pretty much fucked as sound whoring is alive and well and quite a few times I've seen teams simply crouch walking

Haven't played in like a decade or so, but last I remember.... playing CoD mp made me feel like a fucking crackhead and was not enjoyable at all.

At that point, I moved on to strictly tactical shooters, for my military FPS fix.

Whoever was responsible to allow m&kb players getting mixed with controller players need to get his/her hands chopped off. Pathetic

And this is why big franchises never innovate. Any little change and half your fanbase (or at least avery vocal splinter of it) marches off in a huff. If only we could get this much "outrage" over lootboxes with weapons and other actual game-changing items in them, but no, the herd is pissed over changes to the mini map.
