Mfs that say “MWII plays like old CoD” forget how quick Sprint to Fire, strafe and overall movement speeds were in COD4-BO2
Take off the rose colored glasses and play the old games. You’ll quickly realize MWII is geriatric, 800ms response time levels of SLOW
We've left the no recoil meta and entered the brrrt meta 😂
UGM - swap the MX silencer with the Mercury. Big gains to ADS for marginal loss on velocity/recoil control
PPSH - non-hipfire build. Quicker TTK than the hipfire build. Easier recoil IMO
Looks like other than adjusting bullet damage (damage shielding) from cheaters, legit players will go "invisible" when shot by flagged cheaters.
Dunno how it exactly works (what triggers, effects on other players, etc). We'll probably see more clips in the coming days.
Was going over the
#ModernWarfareII
Campaign gameplay and noticed some small graphical details (mostly with real time effects).
Not bad for pre-alpha. These small deets don't make a big difference gameplay wise, but it's nice to see COD take advantage of modern hardware.
@Myth_
Those games end up cannibalizing themselves when the casual population disappears. You end up with hardcore players unable to dunk on worse players and eventually they leave too.
Games that take skill are niche these days for a reason
IMO if Firestorm was F2P and didn't release a month after Apex it would've been a top BR.
Destroying a building with campers was S tier. Criterion just never got the support they needed. Firestorm was never setup to succeed.
Perk packages limit the ability to use Overkill in WZ, so you'll probably have pistols in your loadout more often.

Before you start saying "this happens to me all the time, I stg they're NERFING ME!"
1. This has been happening to silent aim users. If your accuracy isn't like theirs, you aren't flagged.
2. Silent aim users have gotten around this with a rework of the feature (by adding rng)
🚨 CHEAT NEWS 🚨
Couple days ago some cheat providers disabled their UAV feature, as users were reporting Shadow Bans. Users of cheap, pasted UAV tools also reported the same thing.
Ban wave dropped earlier TODAY, hitting UAV tool users. Many of these SBs turned into perms.
Been sitting on this for a little bit, was waiting for any changes.
For the past couple weeks, new accounts have been under increased scrutiny by Ricochet. Aimbot usage seems to easily trigger Shadow Bans on these fresh accounts.
Complaints from cheaters ⬇️
A very popular cheat provider has received a cease and desist from Activision legal. According to their Discord they will be closing sales and shutting down their Activision related cheats.
This is a game about basketball btw

No wonder “gaming doesn’t hit the same” 😂
I don't get the "peOplE stIlL PlaY WaRzoNe??" comments.
Ppl still play Fortnite, CSGO and Team Fortress 2.
Just cause you're burnt out or bored, doesn't mean everyone is.
🚨 UPDATE 🚨
Incredibly hyped to say I'm going to the

event on September 15th!
Super thankful for this opportunity and I couldn't have done it without the support of YOU ALL 🙏

So after looking at responses from cheaters and devs who’ve “fixed the issue”. I think the flagging extremely high accuracy players is a thing, but instead of reducing dmg, shots aren’t being registered. Hit markers on the cheaters end, shots not counting on the server’s end.
NZ's burst barrel kept it's full auto ability (& higher ROF) but it's horizontal recoil after the first 5 shots gets crazy.
Here's an updated build. Slower TTK (about 100ms slower) with this barrel but it doesn't move.
Have a feeling that Raven is back in the lead when it comes to the Battle Royale side of things with Warzone 2. At first it was only communication but after what they’ve done yesterday and today I’m starting to think they’re in control now.

Beta Wnkd 2 Tick Rate 🚨
CHANGES FROM MW19
6v6: 62-65hz
32 v 32 Ground War: 62-65hz
20 v 20 GW w/ AI (Invasion): 62-65hz
MW19's Ground War ran at 20hz, seems to have changed for the Beta. Packets don't seem to be split either. Hopefully carries over to WZ2.
Just wrapped up my last week with

@RavenSoftware
I can't believe we got teased by the "Alone" mission in the campaign only to never see anything like that in DMZ, let alone Spec Ops.
Now THAT in a PvPvE environment would've been amazing.
Wanna make sure I’m not alone on this, haven’t seen it brought up.
Anyone dealing with occasional stuttering/hitching on MW2 (PC)?
It’s not constant, but happens enough to be annoying. Running around on the map, just before a gunfight, sometimes during. No real pattern either.

They only showed on stream cause the provider messed up, don't act like you didn't know what you were doing.

Nostalgia marketing gonna carry Modern Warfare II (2022). They're gonna bait us with callbacks in the trailers. Game is gonna have the same issues MW19 had. It'll sell well, but we'll hate it.

?
Ex. Forge-Tac Castle Compensator I'm using on the LM556, I unlocked on the M4 Platform but I wouldn't know unless I spent time searching. Helps with sharing loadouts
NBA needs to add a "cutting fingernails" requirement. Jokic ending up with scratches all over his arms every night and now Luka getting a Kratos scar on his face. Ray Allen wore a shooting sleeve cause of it too LOL

as our very first hire!
First met Mavriq when he came on our weekly podcast to better explain the challenges of an anti-cheat in
#Warzone
and realized he’s exactly what MWZ needed.
Some of you guys need to chill. It's one thing to clown him for cheating. It's another to say stuff about his kids, among other nasty stuff I've seen.
It's a game at the end of the day. There's a line. Be better.
@gurshaan
True, but also if you REALLY dread playing these games then maybe it’s time to play something else?
Want a competitive FPS experience and are tired of CoD watering down? Learn to play a more competitive FPS then.
A Warzone cheat provider is being accused of stealing BTC from their users and mining BTC on their PCs 😬
This behavior isn't unheard of in the industry, so it's not really a surprise.

If Sony and Xbox wanted to see a FAST response? Delist Activision titles from digital storefronts.
See how fast the board of directors change their tune 💰
Hopped on Battlefield 2042 (after a while) and it feels more like COD than MWII/WZ2
Little recoil and no visual effects that block my target at 50m+. I’m fast as hell, shooting while sliding and goomba stomping enemies with a wing suit.
Weird feeling given the histories of both
Cause SBMM is trending let’s remember this tweet from Michael Condrey (former Sledgehammer Games head).
Some of y’all are yelling at the wrong ppl 🤷🏽♂️
@ModernWarzone
On the other hand, if a game releases as an unfinished product at the $60/70 price point, I think ppl have a right to complain. Ex. BF2042 releasing without a scoreboard and VOIP.
Most of these AAA games have F2P-type monetization on full price titles, ergo most ppl spend > $60
Did some quick comparisons with "Weapon Field of View" and "1st Person Camera Movement" settings (this is separate from FOV slider).
Visual recoil wise I don't see any real differences. Maybe y'all do?

Seeing a lot of "THEY DON'T LISTEN TO FEEDBACK"
The truth is that “community feedback” isn’t the only factor for changes.
Data (playtime, churn, etc) plays a role too. Just wish these blog posts also included "this is the data we see on our end, it's why we decided to do X"
