Alright, its time to join the military...
I actually went back on my VOD and found the only match I went positive today, which was also my first match of the day.
My team still lost, and see my really high objective score? I still only earned 2 UAVs the entire match for the entirety of my killstreaks. On the old system I'd have probably gotten at least a VTOL on my first life (4 kills + 2 flag caps including B + shooting 2 UAVs + a couple of assists). I just don't understand who these bad players are that they're trying to protect with SBMM. And I just told my two friends who got the game cross platform from me that I was out, and one of them had already sold it; like I mentioned earlier they're honestly so bad that when they play with me they go literally like 1-20 because of SBMM, and they mostly only got it to play with me. I honestly feel really bad :/. I'd honestly uninstall the game but it's so fucking large that I'd use up a not insignificant chunk of my monthly DL cap if I do, so I'm gonna keep it installed for now and hope they either relax SBMM somewhat, and/or we get good new maps at a good clip (good non-garbage maps would make getting railed on for hours on end at least a bit more palatable than the swiss cheese spawn traps we have now).

Yup. SBMM + complete garbage maps (Bridge I will still definitively say is the absolute worst multiplayer map I've ever played on in 20+ years of shooters) is mostly what's dragging me down on the game at this point. I mostly adapated (ha) to the slower pace even if I'm not happy about it, but the maps are mostly just a chore, and half the time you're either spawn trapped which feels bad, or your spawn trapping the other team which STILL feels bad because you know that feel. I honestly don't know what they do here, the maps are a pretty universal complaint and I can't imagine they have THAT many maps that are ready to go in the next month or two or whatever.
Considering everything, I think that's the most disappointing aspect of this game. There's a mountain of fixable issues but it's near impossible to fix this many outright awful maps.
That's it. I'm sticking with Ground War for the foreseeable future. I'm so sick of getting Azhir Cave and Piccadilly so many times.
I detest shooters and competitive games that do not use MMR based matchmaking. I am pretty casual in this game. Doubt I am a 1.0. Get my ass kicked. I may try to get good if they release maps and modes worth tryharding. But if MMR were gone I would be gone too though. I always hated that in past titles, pub stomp people cause they are bad for like 10 matches then matched vs half decent people for one game and one side rage quits because they did not pub stomp. Fuck that noise.
Regardless of what it is saying, the challenge is still keeping track of your progress. Just see which task you're up to and continue doing it. Eventually it'll pop up. It's literally just a menu glitch, you haven't lost your progress.
I wonder if the reduced recoil for the FAL might actually make the burst fire perk for it viable.
I honestly don't understand all the hate on here for this game. It has faults sure but it is one of the best CODs nay one of the best shooters I've ever played. I'm good but not a god, 1.5 KD, have played every COD since the first one.
It is a 10x better game than BFV, and with some more maps and further tweaks it can be a phenomenal shooter. Relaxing down the SBMM would be nice sure, but I dunno I'm having fun.

That is how I feel about EVERY single Spec Ops mission. They are horrible.
I somehow got 1,2, and 4 done but 3 has to be the worst. The tank escort part is basically childs play now but defending the crates is such a miserable experience especially since they throw juggernauts at you with the lack of solid cover
I feel ya. I love this game. I mean yeah, I've had some rage moments but it's still the best cod this gen.
X16 (Monolithic Suppressor, 1mW laser, Lightweight Trigger, 17 Round Mags) is insanely fun to use as a budget SMG if you have a quick trigger finger.
I've been top fragging on Shoot House running this and a Riot Shield a primary (solely for the increased survivability; basically never pull it out).
The hipfire is really accurate and running into folks close range and spam firing results in a lot of headshots as I jump and dance around them while they struggle to even ADS.

U can tell the games really well designed when in domination capping a third point is an extremely dumb thing to do and will cause immediate spawn flipping if you even go near the third point
I just wasn't feeling the M4 anymore and switched to the Kilo because I heard it's close to the ACR from MW2 and it feels good. The reduced recoil helps in those tight fights. I am tired of having the jump on someone and then watch the kill cam to see they turned around because of my footsteps.
Been a thing forever, which is why you rarely triple cap unless you want to flip spawns
Used to do it all the time in MW2 in a team, 5 people hold back one person goes to cap the third point then you destroy them when they spawn by your team.
Is there any particular reason why the game removes your ability to leave a game after the match is over and then forces you to watch the ending killcam? Because I can literally close the application, start it up again, and be in matchmaking again in the time that it takes the game to show the killcam and the final scoreboard.
The match is over. Let me leave if I want leave. There is literally no reason whatsoever to force me to stay in the lobby. Stop making me waste time in lobbies that i don't want be in anymore.

Yeah, this seems incredibly pointless. You'll have to sit through final killcam, score screen, incredibly laggy post-game summary AND a new matchmaking search loop to get to the next game, which is a bit much.
Since the game doesn't get muted when it's minimized, I usually just alt-tab as soon as the match ends and surf the internet for a while and alt-tab back into the game when I hear the beginning of the round sounds.
Well I'm on PS4 so if I plan on leaving I can just close the app and load back in lol
It's still CoD. I think the biggest change you'll notice is the difference in play style. This game has a really low time-to-kill. Peaking/rushing has you at a disadvantage; people play slow paced.
People don't really need a headset to hear you anymore. The footsteps are far louder than WWII. Another reason it's kinda slow paced.
In terms of balancing (aside from the broken guns) they did a really good job. All guns except a few are viable. iirc WWII meta from start to end was SMGs.
Matchmaking is unbelievably balanced in which everything is done you won't encounter people far better or worse than yourself. Lobbies disband after every match.
Loot boxes and cod points are gone, thank god. No more gimmick features, like the headquarters in WWII.
Personally I don't see huge differences in netcode vs WWII, but line of sights are way worse on this game, in the sense people might be able to see you far earlier.
Create-a-class got a massive overhaul in terms of gun customization. Might be overwhelming at first, but they are mostly redundant sights or perks no one uses. Not hard to get used to.

I blame the community for SBMM, if they didn't play the game like it was the MLG finals IW wouldn't make SBMM.

In this COD it's honestly a meaningless value given the disparity in earn rate across game modes
My SPM was 5 digits for awhile, like 11300, because of the way FFA is(was?) awarding score.
Groundwar has tanked it back down to 600-ish - but the point is it's not really a meaningful stat with the way it's measured in MW
Last time I looked my SPM was about 140 for some reason, I play mainly objective modes (Dom, hardpoint) and ground war and always play the objectives but for some reason it's so low
Is that the one where you rescue Morales and escort the vehicle?
The first crate is easy. There's a building nearby with a good vantage point and relatively hidden, or you could go on the roof of the storage facility.
The second crate is hard though. Have some deployable covers and set up camp near the back where the elevated wooden platform is. Your back is protected and there's cover for you to hide behind.
If you've survived everything else, the 3rd crate shouldn't be hard. Just make sure you have enough armour packs and everyone sticks together.
Got destroyed in first Match Headquarters 0 -187.
Me being first in my team. GG everyone
Apart from how bad the maps truly are, the other thing that is a huge issue is spawning. You shouldn't be able to spawn trap an enemy team in a match of TDM. We never had this issue before, why does it exist now? Why don't spawns flip if enemies are basically on top of you? And it's still happening now, which is crazier. How did this game ship in such a bad state.
Was playing this one with some mates last night, we noticed it was easier when we split up for the crates bit. Seems the enemies are infinitely respawning but there's a limited amount to how many can be in the game at any given time. Splitting up spreads them thin a bit and makes it easier to handle.
I'm absolute dogshit at this game (.75 KD lol. Though I was at a .5 for a while and have been clawing my way up) but still having a lot of fun. I agree with some of the issues certainly (perk distribution, some weapon balance, and not the strongest selection of maps ever —though I think most of them are at least solid—and spawns) but that hasn't stopped me from having a good time. It's no Rainbow Six Siege obviously, but this scratches my CoD itch way better than any of the recent ones I've played. I'm sure it will continue to improve, too.
Enemy had 4 of these lvl +100 players . I dont know whats going on with this game.
That's been the same for me with every CoD game, Libby has rubbish players and a few top players, I get put with the trash every time and go up against the good dudes. I hate lobby balancing
Yeah but this game is on a new level sometimes . Like i said first match in days and i got deleted .
I want my TDM/KC/Objective Mercenary Moshpit back.

Luck.
Everyone run shield and medic. I was able to beat all the missions somehow but they're "designed" horribly and IW still haven't acknowledged the mode.
Played a game of Shoot House were my team got demolished. I was the top player on my side with a k/d of around 1.6 or so, and I was level 54. On my team there was a level 1, a level 5, and a level 8; they all got completely, and understandably wrecked (the poor level 1 guy went 0-16.) The other team was all 50+ in level. WTF kind of matchmaking is that. As soon as I saw the layout of the teams I knew we were going to get stomped all over.
I had enough immersive gameplay for today, lmao.
Edit: someone destroyed me with Modell 680 and silencer rip . He won 10/10 gunfights
Edit edit: im gonna punch this game even if i bought the digital Version.

Even though I do not tend to agree with the matchmaking in this game, this game has a great balanced (in term of skill) matchmaking system. I think your match was just an anomaly.
I wish I could agree. I feel like the team/lobby balancing is the worst it's been in years, so many games are absolutely stompfests in MW.
I feel like games are almost always lopsided, and I somehow have the terrible luck of always being a top/good player on the team that has zero chance of winning. It is beyond frustrating. The other day I played for two hours, and my team one exactly one game. I always go for the objectives.
