My main issue with the game is that the lobbies NEEED TO STAY TOGETHER. It’s not a option it’s a MUST HAVE. You sometimes meet unforgettable people that all share the same first experience as you (if your solo randoms too) and you can’t ever add them in time. It’s truly so sad.

Funny story about the UI problems: I just finished UI/UX bootcamp to get back into graphic design and noted that lots of designs have a habit of ditching the list system for the nested image box system as a primary form of navigation because upper management teams across the board are trying to emulate Netflix/Hulu because they see it as the epitome of UI design despite the fact that user research and testing (and I've had to do this) tells the opposite. Not gonna lie, the list system can be a pain in the ass to get right due to navigation nesting being a thing that can become a clusterfuck if done wrong (it took ages for me to get it right for my first capstone), but it always ends up being more intuitive in the end.

[@doomy_doomy2225]

Sounds about right. Most corporates are tone deaf and never use their product so they don’t know

[@walrusgrande5408]

It was interesting to hear this perspective. It’s something I never considered.

[@FlipJanson]

I mean, nested image / box format does work for things like netflix or hulu where showing an image actually has significant relevance when you want to catch a viewer's eye to say "I want to watch that, it looks interesting". But the design is getting used like some kind of holy grail with no thought as to whether or not it belongs. Looking at the friends list UI for example, it's clear they were left with the question of "we have these boxes, but what do we fill them with?" and instead of taking a step back and saying, "there is nothing to fill them with, maybe this is a bad design" they decided to fill it with useless visuals. The design is completely at odds with the function of a friends list. I don't need to be sold on my friends' character model and tag background to know I wanted to play with them, like what?

I’m personally confused as to how the “Suppressors are OP crowd” came to exist. Feels like they all forgot that, in past games, the trade off for running them was lower range and (in some cases), less damage dealt. IMO that’s the best way to balance them, and that IW needs to stop “fixing” what was never broken

[@Sergeant1127]

Make it so suppressors only shorten the time you're on the minimap, suppressors + subsonic ammo remove the red dot and reduce damage.

[@jewelsvevo8153]

It's because there's now multiple attachments Back then a Suppressor was your only attachment if you chose it

[@griffinfaulkner3514]

@@Tyren17k Compromise for you, standard suppressor does what he said, reduces the time the red dot is on the map, but doesn't affect your range or bullet velocity (effectively what would happen if you fire full-velocity rounds with a suppressor on), then have an option for subsonic ammo that, when combined with the suppressor, completely removes you from the map when firing and has no tracer or grey-out effect for the enemy, but with shorter range and lower muzzle velocity to compensate. Have the different models of suppressor actually change the sound level when firing based on their handling penalty, the heavier the quieter.

It’s not that suppressors are OP, it’s that due to red dots on the mini they were effectively a crutch Those titles only really allowed for like 1 or 2 attachments.

I was a slow and methodical player, and it really paid off, since nobody else was. Footsteps were _immensely_ useful information. Hearing an enemy was actually more useful than seeing them. And the sound design was so good that I could pinpoint an enemy's exact location solely by sound. Just by footsteps, I could tell a person's direction, distance, speed, bearing, and sometimes even equipment. Because it was such realistic sound, the information didn't need to be filtered through the game's logic. I could just _react._ God it felt amazing. So, this nonsense? This is just embarrassing. These footsteps tell you absolutely fucking nothing. One memory: I was lurking around and I heard Ninja Pro footsteps on the metal walkway I was on. I turned around and shot the dude, and his immediate reaction on the mic was "HOW DID YOU KNOW I WAS THERE!?" "I heard you." God I wish I could afford another pair of Turtle Beaches.

The whole nameplate issue could be fixed if every single player on both teams didn’t look like a damn operator. In the original MW trilogy. You had a marines taliban/opfor. You had seals and spetznaz. Army Rangers The concept was you could EASILY tell the factions apart without nameplates because their skins looked different from each other. Now in MW 19 and 22 every damn player is a frickin operator

[@michaelagustinsantos3015]

Easy. Named operators could easily be given skins for cosmetics. You can't just be "SAS", "OpFoR", or "Spetsnaz" anymore (unless you specifically choose MilSim but they're operators still). Now you have to be "Bobert - Nightfighter", Clara - "Going Dark", or "Ghost - Loose Ends".

The receiver option looks to be the "Upper Receiver" that is swapped. If you look closely, the "Lower Receiver" of the M-16 stays the same. This is the lower portion, including the grip, magazine well, fire selector, trigger, and other various parts. By switching the "Upper Receiver", you are swapping the barrel and gas systems of the gun. A larger barrel will allow you to use larger bullets.

The receiver concept in MW22 is interesting to me. On an M4/AR15, there is an upper and lower receiver. The Upper would house the bolt carrier group, charging handle, gas system, and barrel. The Lower would house the Trigger group, pistol grip, buffer tube, stock, and magazine well. The idea that they were going for (at least for the M4) is that you can swap the upper for a different one (ie: swapping a CQB length barrel upper for a 20 inch M16 upper or the beltfed upper for the LMG variant) I get why ActMan doesn't like it, as it kinda complicates things when they don't need to be, but i honestly like it a lot from a gun-nut view point.

[@specialagentgeralt9763]

The problem isn't the concept, it's the execution. As a fellow firearm enjoyer I was getting confused because of the terrible UI and menu layout. In MW 2019 you could heavily customize various platforms into new archetypes as well but it was all done in the gunsmith and it didn't tie into separate weapon class progression. As an example, you could take an AKM, put the shortest barrel on it and switch the ammo to 5.45 and it would switch the name of the weapon to the AK74U but it would retain the same spot in the menus and the same progression track. In MW22 if you turn the M4A1 into an LMG it changes the progression and the spot it occupies in the weapon selection menu which is just confusing.

[@Shinransa]

@@specialagentgeralt9763 The problem with MW19's system is that making a specific gun would take up attachement slots. If you wanted the AKS-74U you needed the barrel, side-folding buttstock and 5,45x39mm conversion and that's without a sight, laser, muzzle, under-barrel or pistol grip if you wanted one. It quickly limited attachements on certain guns, justifying their decision here but the UI should be improved.

[@SciRei7H3dEG3NeR4T3]

The beta was an enjoyable experience for me, but I did run into issues that would sometimes irritate me to where I would lose my enjoyment for a hot while. My playstyle is that I like to try sneaking behind the enemy lines and take them out fast and quietly, whether that be with a silenced firearm, or throwing knives. I had assumed that unlocking Dead Silence would help me with this, but I had no idea that every time I activated Dead Silence, it was essentially just announcing nearby enemies that I was going to be sneaking about. The footstep audio tracks still feel like something that the team feels is important to the game, but with how loud it sounds, it feels almost like cheating whenever I can just guess an enemy is behind a wall and shoot them from behind it. The ally nameplates have confused me on multiple occasions, often resulting me in getting killed from an enemy who stood just in the perfect spot for the dot to fool me into believing they were friendly. For some reason on a specific map, Farm 18, from the beginning of the game to the midfight, my game will just constantly stutter, as if something is loading in the map constantly, so I hope that little issue gets fixed. Recoil was another thing that I found sort of problematic, as it felt like every shot just shattered my character's grip. I basically used up all of my attachment slots just to add stuff that either "added recoil control", or "did not decrease my recoil control" to allow me to have control of where I aim. Overall, the beta so far was okay with a couple mishaps, but I still enjoyed a decent amount of the experience. Although I hope these issues get fixed before or a little after release. ^^

A month later and absolutely nothing has changed, I’ve lost all faith in Call of Duty, every release is always gonna be a disappointment, so no point in expecting anything good

16:32 I have to somewhat disagree, the design itself does make it more complicated. However while playing the beta I started to like the design because when I was working on getting attachments on a certain gun. I was able to quickly swap my playstyles by switching the perk classes. (Helps more in-game rather than over all). That's just my take on it, but great video man.

I'm excited and also worried as fuck for MW2’s full release

with the lack of info on the minimap, I used the sound of gunfire as an indicator to where the enemies are so I think suppressors could still work as they would make less noise when firing, making it possible to conceal your position... but that's just me

I love how everything you “liked” is exactly what they changed with the patch of mw3

I've been begging for 3rd person mode for 2 years . In modern-warfare 2019 there was a glitch that put you in 3rd person mode for the rest of the match . It looked dope , the operators were badass and seeing them in 3rd person was really cool 😎

[@ChillMinx]

Beta was really fun imo, the third person was one of my favorite game modes and works well in the game

[@Mohmar2010]

True I'd say they got the 3rd person well in this game, i hope it's not dropped

[@evolicious]

The bar must be extremely low for you. I pity you.

Eh. Third person was a lot of hiding behind walls cause you can see past them

Personally, I like the perks packages. I typically only use one MAYBE two combinations of perks, so it makes it much easier for me to select when making a new loadout
