This! I don't understand the omnimovement hate. If we're not going back to BO2 movement or jetpack era skill gaps I think this is a good compromise going forward for the series.. at least until Infinity Ward inevitably nerfs it and makes their next game feel as bad as Ghosts or MWII again.

[@yhzh2002]

It has also given everyone the equivalent of tac boots in MW3, so you slide farther and can ads while sliding. It lets you take gunfights with more momentum. What it doesn't do is actually make you go faster. The movement speeds feel about the same as mw3 on average, though the lmgs and snipers feel even slower than MW3 until you get the movement stocks.

[@ja195]

Boost controller auto aim advantage? How many gun fights are people diving in? ​@@drgreenthumnb

[@Zeak1199]

With the cpu optimization. COD does heavily tax the CPU but by reducing the graphics and resolution, you're actually making the CPU work harder because the GPU can generate more frames than it usually can. In order for the game to keep up with all those frames it needs to do calculations for each of them. Imagine having to do calculations 500 times a second vs 100. For a more consistent experience I would reccomend capping your frame rate or actually upping the graphics settings to lessen the burden on the CPU.

[@SuperWubDub]

I've been PC gaming since 2008 and I never realized this until now with CPU-heavy games, I think I subconsciously knew but I never understood why until now. Insane.

[@jonfox4022]

Indeed. Capping fps and or putting more load onto your gpu can help reduce the load on your cpu. Some games do have a couple settings specific to cpu load itself but I haven't bothered looking into this games settings to know what it's got going on.

[@JPDD2]

I max out settings for the most part and then do dlss and cap frame rate at about 120. This seems to have given me a fairly constant frame rate with few frame drops aside from packet burst happening. What do you do for settings?

[@Smokinjoewhite]

@@JPDD2 Try lowering your GPU memory target to around 70% or even 60%. It almost completely fixed my packet burst. I still get it occasionally but before changing that setting it was constant and completely unplayable.

[@Drift0r]

What? This is new to me. Can you elaborate?

[@xXALEEUNXxgaming]

@@Drift0r the cpu and ram have to work faster due to more frames being generated . go to 4k lowest settings gpu will be at 100% load, taking the load off of ram and cpu . you should see a vast improvement , also the forced data streaming isnt helping maters either #1 reason i didnt buy bo6

[@RunAroundGuy2]

@@Drift0r he is right. Lower resolutions show the cpu bottleneck in many games. 1440p is about 30% more gpu usage so simply going to 1440p maybe enough. However with many titles including cod6 u actually might even be able to turn up the render resolution in game and stay at 1080p and simulate 1440p to regulate your gpu to cpu usage better.

[@thesaviorwolf8601]

@@Drift0r Yo drift you should upgrade to a AM4 AMD PC, you can get a ryzen 5 5700x3d for less than $200 and a 7800xt for $400. Alternatively you can go AM5 and spend a bit more but performance difference will be massive regardless! I play Black Ops 6 at 1440p extreme and get 119 fps on average with my 5600x and 6800xt which are weaker than what I mentioned. Lots of crashes for me though which sucks.

[@Rumblerumbo90]

@@Drift0rthis is true to an extent. It doesn’t take the load off it just wont decrease your fps if you up your resolution or increase gpu heavy settings. Looking at your frames in the gameplay… i believe you would have a much smoother experience capping your fps at 85 using rtss. Then you would be able to increase your graphics settings until you can no longer maintain the 85 fps

[@Mailman6989]

Omni movement feels more fair, like they understand some of the old movement mechanics were being pushed to the limit by the cracked out kids and most casual players couldnt replicate.

verdansk is also coming later on, the resurgance isnt all thats getting a refresh. im guilty of viewing mp as a grinding space, but it certainly helps when the mp is good i really am enjoying bo6 more than any mp in a long time.

One day when warzone has nothing to do with multiplayer it wont be seen as grinding space

[@TheErikjsm]

@@fibreoptic1185 plenty of people dont, and you know fair enough i didnt either but after years and years of "normal" cod (started with cod4) it has somewhat lost my intresst in it. personaly i can only do 3 lane, fast pace, die, respawn, action for so many years before getting bored with it. its a shame for those pure mp enjoyers though, im fully aware it doesnt get enough support compared to wz.

[@jonfox4022]

@@TheErikjsm I think it'll be a few years before they can separate the release of a cod title from warzone. There are other games out there which would hurt their numbers too much if people didn't use the mp to level in prep for wz and there are people who don't like any mp to begin with. I think Xdefiant is a good example. It only does mp and it does mp better than cod does today.

[@Smokinjoewhite]

Pro tip. Lower your GPU memory target on PC to avoid packet burst and frame stutter. Sounds counter intuitive, but it works. Even if you are not maxing your GPU memory or even if you are close to the limit, doesn't matter, lowering it to around 60% worked for me, 70% seems to be fine too but some packet burst. Anything 80% or above causes almost constant packet burst.

[@tool8337]

I have a brand new high end 14900k 4090 System. Running win 10 and basically have nothing on the computer. Still crashes after every game on BO6. Turns out, the game is unhappy with any overclock or any significant undervolt. It is completely stable in MW3/Warzone before BO6 came out (280-300 FPS in big map). I'm water cooled and temps are good. Render worker count is correct. Running optimized settings. I'm running the latest microcode/bios. No crashes or issues in cinebench or any other game. This game is not more demanding than cinebench so it makes no sense - they just suck at optimizing.

[@pieguy1098]

Did you not hear about the massive intel issues for the 14900k (and 13900)? They are inherently faulty chips, the microcode/bios updates were just a bandaid. Issues not showing up during a stress test, doesn't mean you dodged them all. Certain loads/processes and combinations of them in different ways could be exposing your chip's faults in ways that simply won't show up in single workload stress tests.

[@tool8337]

@ yeah but I got mine in August three days before the microcode patch. It wouldn’t have time to degrade.

[@pieguy1098]

@@tool8337 unfortunately while the microcode patch was mostly successful, like anything with cpus, if you simply got a bad roll of the dice on your silicon, your cpu might have continued to degrade slightly even with the patched bios' power/voltage limits due to sheer bad luck.

@ only between the August patch and the most recent one. That would be bad luck. But it’s not the issue because it’s fine if I run the chip stock (ie no crashes when no overclock).

[@Trash_Panda_Manifesto]

I’m not saying Omni-movement is bad in and of itself but, it does require better hit detection in almost every single aspects from ping, to desync, to hit box accuracy. The devs didn’t put it the adequate work on the hit box detection. Plus, with all the MTX, there are constantly new characters which requires more diligence from the devs. The devs have to be on top of things. Ping and desync are terrible and have been for a long time. I just don’t think the infrastructure is in place for Omni movement to be implemented smoothly. The movement itself isn’t the problem. It’s how it affects hit detection. The integrity of each gun fight is the single most important element of the entire game. When that is called into question, the entire game is not worth playing.

[@nat4sail]

What CPU do you have?

[@Yourtube1213]

Hey driftor love your videos. Fellow Pc nerd here, just wanted to suggest two things for you problem, if your cpu is running 100% then that usually means your gpu is not working hard enough. Try increasing your graphics settings and that may actually allow you gpu to do more of the work and take more off your cpu. Also I have discovered that this game heavily prefers undervolting on the gpus I was able to gain about 20-40 fps with an undervolt on my 7800XT

Thanks for the suggestion, I appreciate it.

Driftor, if u dont want to upgrade ur pc, why dont u just lock the game to 60fps (or something higher if u have a vrr display, but lower than the 90fps u play rn)? That way your cpu will not be maxed out 100% of the time; or maybe use half vsync + reflex boost

Disagree on MP being a "WZ waiting room" None of my friends list plays WZ anymore, I used to sweat regularly on WZ but the steps back they took with WZ2 and the catch up afterwards didn't evolve the game enough and it became stale.

Also little worried about the warzone servers being 20 TIK rate down from 60 that multiplayer has with the movement. And I likem big and bouncy to 😂😂. Also playing at 1080p will make the game any game that matter call more from your CPU compared to if you play at 1440p it will use more GPU. Also I noticed a nice jump in frames when I went from 16 gigs of ram to 32 in warzone. Turning all the details up will make the game more GPU bound as well. The new AMD 9800x3d CPU just had review come out and it's the best gaming CPU on the planet and then the 2nd best is the 7800x3d chip.

In WZ, the CPU does a TON of heavy lifting due to all the real-time calculations that are going on during a given match. Things like: player positions (x100-150), loot, vehicles, streaks, bullet trajectories, skins, camos, etc. In normal 6v6, there's significantly less to calculate so it doesn't get impacted as much.
