I found that the ground war have felt very different from the other game modes.
Ground War is just Domination on steroids. And I found it significantly worse than any Battlefield game I’ve ever played. I mean, I rather go back to World War 3 than playing more of this.
First of all, killstreaks with 64 players is just the worst. They’re popping off left and right all the fucking time. One thing I like about BF is the downtime between battles, but this is just spawn, kill/die, repeat. The map I played on was also too small for a mode like this, so people were spawning all over the place.
On the other hand, NVG mode is cool, but I want that with something else than TDM (the worst mode). Also, where did Realism mode go?
But gameplay wise, this is probably the best I’ve felt about CoD since Modern Warfare 2 (or maybe BLOPS 2).
It is a beta so they’re just testing various modes. Realism will be in the final game
Oh well, I was hoping to see it again before the beta ended. .
But I think Realism and/or NVG combined with Dom/HQ/CA will be my jam.
And I’m not going to touch TDM, GF (unless I play with a friend), GW and those 20 player modes.
Edit: one very cool thing is crossplay. I played on both PC and Xbox, and my progression carried over between them. PC with m/k has way harder competition though, as some of those PC players are fucking brutal.
Realism mode is back today
Huh, so they actually have cross platform competition going in this, including play between consoles and PC’s, with mouse and keyboard players.
That seems unfair.
I’m not sure if they cross different input devices with each other. When I played on Xbox it was only with other controller players (on Xbox, PS4 and PC), while on PC I only saw the m/k icon. I don’t remember if there was other consoles as well, but you can actually play with m/k on consoles (where you’ll be matched with other m/k players).
They totally do. I saw folks playing who had the PC icon with a Mouse controller.
I totally forgot to play the beta this weekend. D’oh! I’ll just have to assume it’s the same as all the other Call of Duty games and I can forget about it.
Okay, I wonder how they balance that? On the positive side, at least PC players will have a large player base to play with instead of a dead one 3 months after release.
I don’t think they do.
Ah, looks like they’ll give you the ability to play in controller only lobbies… so they basically just sidestepped the balance issue.
Hmmm, I only noticed a crossplay option in the settings menu. I enabled it but, as said, was only matched with people with the same input devices. I guess there’s another option for controller only lobbies that is enabled by default?
On the PS4, it definitely wasn’t on by default, because I was put up against M+K players.
It’s most definitely not like all the others IMO. That’s why it pissed some people off on the first weekend.
Man, Activision just pissed off the entire Xbox and PC COD community
Most impressive, as COD games really only have 1 year of a full fan base before it splits to follow the next game.
Exactly what all of them are pointing out. The exclusivity runs out by the time a new COD is on the market and most people have moved on.
Umm so what exactly is survival mode?
It’s the co-op mode they’ve talked about. Of course, now it turns out it’s a no-show unless you’re on PS4. Fuck Activision, I already regret my preorder. I mean, I knew they would find a way to screw us over.
It’s just zombies…
