I wish I could turn off crossplay, but I play with friends on Xbox and PC. I’m no match for PC players.
As for guns, I’ve really been digging the Carbine marksman rifle. I started using it to unlock the crossbow and now I’m definitely a fan.

I will DM you my PSN some time, I only use Crossplay if mates from other consoles want to squad up but apart from that I stick to PS4 as PC players are just too good.

I will definitely try that one out!

Sounds good! Also, I do believe there’s a crossplay filter where you can choose to play with people using controllers only rather than mouse and keyboard.

The casual in me is very happy to hear this, thank you!

Time to pretend I am a MLG pro!

Oh you got tired? What about us that were here since day one :messenger_tears_of_joy:

Its coming, patience friend.

Who says I wasn’t waiting until day one? I just waited because I didn’t think I’d get into the MP. But trust me I’ve been waiting since day one.

Personally I’d like a basic no thrills last team standing mode, but have a dog tag collection revival mechanic ala apex.
You play Apex mate? Its the game that made me love BR and every other BR thats introduced I compare it immediately with Apex

Love Apex, but dropped it immediately when MW came out. Not enough time to play both while also trying to fit in some single player goodness.

I did the same but part of taking a break from it and not dropping it. After MW's season 1 I dropped the game and never bothered

Will be back with BR for sure
 
Has anyone had issues not ranking up? I've been playing for the last 2 hours and my rank has stayed the same, I have not unlocked any new skins, and my battle pass is not increased.

I called Activision but of course their customer support is just automated bullcrap. Can anyone help?

ME. And I’m super annoyed with it. I won’t play until I know that it’s fixed.

yeah but it's just ridiculous that you buy the battle pass and your money is being wasted right now. I was grinding for no reason. How long is this been going on for you?

Yuppp!! Was doing secondary weapon challenge and my pistol kills, knive kills nothing was counting. Then it would count some kills like every five games but I finally finished it. I went on warzone or whatever to do long shot kills, got like five kills from across the map and it counted shit. This shouldn't be happening and it's alot of time I won't get back. Didn't help for this gun you have to do twelve fucking missions of shit.

Warzone will be live tomorrow, March 10 at 8AM PDT as a one-time early access for Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® owners, and launch a few hours later around 12PM PDT, free for everyone!

You do not need to own the full version of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare to download, play and enjoy Warzone. Call of Duty: Warzone is free for everyone.

The World of Warzone: Battle Royale and Plunder

At launch, players can squad up in trios with their friends on Playstation® 4, Battle.net for PC, or Xbox One across two game modes: Battle Royale and Plunder.

In Battle Royale, fight to be the last squad standing while escaping the deadly gas in the swiftly closing circle with up to 150 players.

In Plunder, the race is on to collect the most in-match Cash by looting across the map, taking down enemies to steal their Cash, and completing in-match Contracts.

Warzone takes place in Verdansk, an expansive city with multiple named zones and well over 300 points of interest. Each zone features distinct landmarks like the Gorengard Lumber Yard or the Gora Dam; the zones take place across different environment types like cities and rural areas for unique engagements. Change up your drop location in each match to get a better lay of the land and take advantage of what Verdansk has to offer.

Need to escape the gas in the closing circle or get to another zone? Take a vehicle.

The Vehicles of Warzone

If you need to get somewhere fast in Warzone, the best method is a vehicle. There are five vehicles all with varying levels of protection, speed, seating, and off-roading capability. Each vehicle has a health meter and when it reaches zero, the vehicle explodes and flames out. Needlessly to say, if the health of your vehicle is depleting, bail out before the impending explosion.

Here’s an overview of the five vehicle types that are populated throughout the world in Warzone:

· ATV – two seater, provides minimal protection, good at offroading, fast.
· Tactical Rover – four seater, provides minimal protection, solidly fast, solid at off-roading.
· SUV – four seater, provides good protection, medium speed, not ideal for off-roading.
· Cargo Truck – holds the squad plus equipment, excellent protection, not for off-roading, slowest.
· Helicopter – four seater, decent coverage, flies.

The Mechanics of the Warzone

Warzone features some unique mechanics that keep each match interesting and give you plenty of strategies to try for a new experience every time you drop in.

Here’s a list of some of the new and game-changing mechanics players will find in a Warzone match:

The Gulag (only in Battle Royale)

Upon your first elimination, you will be taken as a “Prisoner of Warzone” and thrown into the Gulag. There you will await your fate and watch other prisoners fight to the death. When your turn is up, you’ll enter the Gulag and face-off against a single opponent in a 1v1 to earn the ultimate reward - redeployment. Win in the Gulag and earn redeployment back into Verdansk. Lose and hope that your squad completes Contracts and earns enough in-match Cash to redploy you.

Contracts

Contracts are objective oriented tasks players can find and activate across Verdansk. A squad can activate one Contract at a time and completing it rewards you in-match Cash and other loot items. Multiple types of Contracts exist including Scavenger Contracts where you have to find and open a series of Supply Boxes and Recon Contacts where you must secure one location, similar to Call of Duty’s Domination mode. In addition to in-match Cash, Contracts can give you special rewards like the ability to see the next circle collapse location before it starts to close.

Buy Stations

In Battle Royale where collecting in-match Cash isn’t the objective, Cash can be used to procur beneficial items at Buy Stations. Denoted on the Tac-Map with a shopping cart icon, head to a Buy Station to spend your in-match Cash. For varying prices, you can purchase Killstreaks, Redeploy Tokens to bring back fallen teammates, Self-Revive Kits, and more.

In Plunder, Buy Stations hold all of these items to help you gain an advantage over other teams, plus a unique game mode item – the Cash Deposit Balloon. Want to securely deposit your in-match Cash, away from the threat of enemy teams trying to kill and steal? Get a Cash Deposit Ballon, a portable Field Upgrade, that allows you to deposit Cash, from anywhere.

Is it still impossible to only install a bare minimum if you want to just play multiplayer or have I got to suck it up and install the whole motherfucking game? Still haven't forgiven this for putting so little of the game on the actual disc, but am feeling pulled back in by the multiplayer.

With in-game cash. Don't see the problem in that

No trust me I get it. I just think it’s messed up being able to HAVE kill streaks at all in the game. I never liked being able to buy stuff in-game in any battle royale so I already don't like it.

Killstreaks just seem a bit much.

I think we are all guessing until it drops but my guess would be that it actually is a separate download considering the f2p nature of it but... maybe the whole integration based on the menu means to download the whole thing

There is no way I am not trying this. Heard good things about the BR mode from the last entry, and cannot wait to try this one.

15-22GB... they can't even give us solid numbers on their own update? I mean the team behind patchnotes and official release information for Infinity Ward is beyond trash.

Not a fan of kill streaks being in there, but I'm willing to give it a go before completely shitting on the idea. Looking forward to trying it tomorrow
