Call of Duty: WWII Beta

[bulldog]

So BK (or anyone else), did you ever play the campaign? Got the game for Xmas, but already beat it, but was a great game I thought. I barely died on normal so maybe I need to go back and play on hardenend. I really liked how it went back to the old school and were real battles fought in WWII....really makes you appreciate what the troops went through and how deadly this war was/


Haven't tried online yet....anyone playing it online?


Also was pretty surprised to see real actors in the game....especially Jonathan Tucker who I loved in the TV Series "Kingdom".

The campaign is great in my opinion. I'm not finished with it. Need to actually sit down and spend some time with it. I'm several missions in but no where complete. I love the

I will say the Multiplayer is terrible and Zombies is a complete joke.

Multiplayer sucks for several reasons. Connectivity issues, crappy and I mean crappy maps, lack of customization with soldier loadout(1 perk allowed). What's funny is you have more customization in Zombies than you do in multiplayer. The whole flow of the game is really slow, the scorestreaks suck and as much as I love the boots on the ground part, you can tell the designers of the game were shooting to make a Call of Duty that is a Campers wet dream.

I've had to retool how I actually play, because two weeks after the game dropped, I had it ready to go back to GameStop for a return and credit on something else.

It's just a really piss poor and bland game. The maps are what really detract from the game. You have three ways to go on every map, Left, Down the Middle or Right. There are two maps that are great but they never come up. Then they added a map called Carentan and you could hear campers every where busting a nut.

It's a really bad and crappy game and I can't say enough bad about it. I will say this, Star Wars Battlefront II is bad ass. Love that game(don't get to play it much though).

Yeah haven’t even tried the multiplayer as the campaign mode for Call of Duty has always been one of my favorites of any game. It took me a bit to get used to using health packs instead of the normal regen of health, but I’ve come to like it because it really makes you play the game different; no more going in hard and then going and hiding so your health regens. Is multiplayer this way too? How do you get more health in multiplayer?

I do like how you rely on your team more now and use them to get ammo, health, grenades, and scouting. Again, makes you play different and you need to stay close to your team.

I’ll have to check out Battlefront II? How is the campaign? For online I’m still playing the Killing Floor 2; they had an awesome upgrade for Xmas that was funny.

I also enjoyed the mix of new things in the campaign. Having your (AI)team do more helps. It's what always pissed me off with the other COD campaigns. Seemed like I had to do everything to make the mission work, and then your lame AI team just stands there and lets you take all the fire and damage. Least with WWII, the other guys are out there moving around and killing the bad guys. The health packs, ammo and etc are a cool feature as well. I don't like the slow motion scenes though. I'd much rather go back to the old way of doing the slow motion scenes. This new way of having to tap the SQUARE button in a rhythmic pattern is lame.

What gets me is I had such high hopes for WWII after playing the Beta back in August. I don't know what they did between the beta and the actual game but someone screwed up. With Beta, even though it was Core, you could still kill guys with a few shots. None of the usual dump a whole magazine in someone to kill them. Then the official game came out and talk about overpowered BS. Even in Hardcore(which is what I play exclusively, always have) guys will take 4 to 6 rounds of damage and many times will still kill you in a shot or two. To me the whole game is really unbalanced and that leads to the blandness of the game. The only thing that will be a one shot kill are the sniper rifles and M1A1 and M1 Garand. Everything else is hit marker heaven. BAR and M1928(tommy gun) are the only two I can really use to stomp the opposition. STG44 isn't bad once it's leveled up.

Battlefront II is really good. Haven't played the campaign, just the multiplayer and it's great. Love the space battles with Tie-Fighters and X-wings. Even hero's and villain's is great as it lets you be your favorite character(of course I'm Vader). Only reason I went to Battlefront II is many of the people I play with on Call of Duty decided to try the game. One great feature is I believe the game mode Blast(or strike??) it's full on 20 vs. 20 and guys are running around everywhere. Can't really camp as you've got objectives to play and you get tons of points for playing the objective.

Check out Battlefront II, I think you'll like it.

At this point, I'm just biding my time for Black Ops 4, and from what I've been hearing is it's going to still be boots on the ground but set just after Black Ops 2(which was 2025). So will be somewhat futuristic but with modern weapons(similar to Black Ops 2). No more boost jumping or lasers and shit. But will still be modern enough to not be the complete snooze fest that is WWII. Treyarch gets it right when it comes to customization and overall playing. Plus as always, you know Zombies will be top notch.


P.S.
I'm hearing rumors and rumblings that with the next Infinity Ward 2019 game(which will follow Treyarch's 2018 game) will be Modern Warfare 2 - Remastered

Yeah I agree the old AI’s sucked! So many times I wish they would just be gone because they got in the way more than they helped me…plus can’t stand when they make you protect someone else….I just want to shoot and worry about me and not some dumb AI. Although the mission where you carry the kid in WWII was pretty good, but more stealth than protecting someone with ammo.

Yeah the tapping square is weird and I really never understood it 100%, so I always just pushed the square button as fast as I could and worked everytime. First few times I tried to figure it out and died…..make sense to go to the rhythm though now that you mention it, but I was confused because the square button icon moved all over the screen so thought I had to direct it with joystick.

I’ve noticed that this COD does take more hits than normal, but honestly took that as old guns that weren’t as powerful as what some of the new COD had. Overall I’ve had this issue with so many online games that ended up someone had a hack/cheat going and that was why they never died. I’ve snipped guys in head like 5 times when playing Halo back in the days, all to find out all these cheats had entered the game. I’ll never get why people are so proud winning when cheating….to me that takes all the fun out of it because I want win because I deserve it. Heck the other day some guy on Killing Floor 2 messaged me to talk. I rarely will accept those, but this guy was super good and one of the few players that got higher kills than me and had more rare outfits. I go talk to him and he starts showing me all the cheats he has figured out that they have not patched yet….loser! I never used one of his cheats and honestly thought about reporting him, but I am not a rat.

I’ll have to try multiplayer on COD WWII and let you know what I think. I’m just more into team FPS now since at least people are on your team and stops some of the drama....

Yeah I’ll see what the campaign is like for Battlefront II….for some reason I thought I heard it was good.

That's one thing I haven't seen much of on WWII is the hacking or cheating. I've seen lots of glitching, but that's been patched awhile back and those spots in maps are now dealt with.

I have seen a few times where I've been killed by an SMG but in the kill feed it's shown as an Assault Rifle or LMG. Also players loadouts are different from those featured on the podium. What I mean by that is, during the game they are using a certain class(or solider) and in the podium(which captures what soldier they used) is something different. So I think there is something there that is being exploited. There were during the release of the game back in November, some players that were already very high prestige levels. Which leads me to believe they either don't ever see the sunlight, have never seen a woman naked or they hacked their Prestige levels. Which I'm guessing is it's a combination of all three.

You may like the Multiplayer on COD: WWII or you may not. It's very slow and the pace never really changes. They have added Hardcore Kill Confirmed recently and that has helped immensely. Finally I can go back to run and gun and not have to just be a Sniper in HC TDM.

One thing that will piss you off fast, is be prepared to get shot in the back and a lot. It's the games crappy spawns that are to blame for this, also the crappy maps. With only three routes to take on just about every map, means there aren't many alternate spawn points. Oh and for some reason, apparently Sledgehammer felt the need to follow in Infinity Ward's footsteps of COD: Ghosts and certain maps will spawn you either right in front of a teammate shooting, which means you die. Or get spawned right in front of a teammate getting killed, which in turn you die again. Now this is all in Hardcore, teammates can't kill you in Core.

Another thing that not even Treyarch can fix with COD. Is that the three team kill rule, where you get kicked. Which I'm all fine with, if the team kills are from your gun. Scorestreaks will also get you kicked. Especially the Fire Bomber and a couple others. Also, this game is slow lame that it can't show your teammates while in your scorestreaks, so there is a good chance you'll kill one of them if they are too close to red circled enemies. I don't mind the 3 strikes and you're out rule of team killing, as I hardly get kicked for shooting teammates. Killing them with scorestreaks on the other hand, gets me kicked from time to time.
