[@emwols]

If you do the math, a character in tac sprint can travel about .4 meters or almost 1.5 feet before the game updates their real position on 20 hz servers. That is a VERY large distance. Which is why you can be 1.5 feet past a corner but on the other players screen you are still perfectly visible. This is not including a 50ms ping which doubles that distance

[@Pap1franz]

So if tac sprint wasn’t a thing, it would feel more “fair”? Am I understanding that right? Genuinely wanna know, cheers

[@DerekF-u7e]

Slower movement would mean less room for discrepancy yeah. The max difference between your view and your enemy's view would be smaller.

[@Alex-il2pq]

Summary I guess is that since the game is so fast paced favors the shooter and you can't rely on damage feedback due to delay and you don't know opponents exact relative position to avoid getting instakilled constant movement is king, just move like a ADHD unpredictable bunny rabbit 24/7 for the whole resurgence match being mindful of cover and avoid standing still for too long and you're way more likely to stay alive than relying too much on visual and damage indicators. Personally I'm over Area99, most of the time there's not enough space to play strategically and game is not responsive enough for me to have a good time in constant CQC when gunfights feel random at times it really ruins the feedback loop and I'm not much into constantly sweating for 20min straight by moving around like a junkie

@ well yes in a a sense, they would only be able to travel a max of 7 m/s as opposed to a little over 8 m/s. So it would cut down that distance by 15% ish

I think the issue is the lag compensation they try and apply universally across each game session for 'balancing' reasons, I'm similar to you, not based in London but not far and I get 3-5ms ping to UK servers and 10-11 to Paris and Amsterdam, and the worst by far are the German Frankfurt servers (I get 17-19ms), I can play on Turkish servers at just under 30ms and get better hit reg than the German servers. Overall the tick rate, as you've mentioned because of the speed of movement really needs to be upped to 128 tick so that it captures all the movement and all the 'bullets' because as is it really doesn't, and the game seems to hugely favour people with higher pings than lower.

The netcode was explained during MW2019 by cod developers and they admitted that they use predicative imagery for smoothness. This is their way of hiding lag on your screen for a fluid world experience. But this is the reason you get inconsistencies in hit reg reg and desync. This is why above average players have the worst experience in this game because they get into a lot of 50/50 gun fights but are no longer winning most of them like they would on an authentic netcode. The top 5% can still go on nuke streaks in SBMM lobbies because they can still get enough reaction and aim on players. But they'll still take damage when they shouldn't. This is why I quit cod. I prefer seeing og MW3 lag compensation. At least back then you could feel your character being dragged back in speed. Not this hidden desync in the background like it is now

It's not just Warzone. I only play 6v6 MP and it's atrocious there too. I have played every CoD and usually maintain a K.D. just under or even over 2.00, but in this game I am getting absolutely obliterated before I can even think of pulling the trigger. It's super frustrating because I'm used to a certain level of performance from myself in CoD but here I feel like it's out of my control.

[@intellectic9155]

It's you. My K/D is over 2. It would definitely be higher in older CODs but I'm still performing mostly the same. SBMM and EOMM are trash but most of you out there are on some serious cope over how good you _thought_ you were.

lol 0:59 it’s registering headshots that are obviously body shots. I’ve been noticing super inconsistent damage registration to damage zones along with the desync issue

[@tommyal1220]

I remember D Sync was a concept I was made aware of during MW2019, in which it felt as though it was a once in a blue moon occurrence that didn’t necessarily undermine my experience. I first noticed the D Sync becoming more frequent with each new iteration of WZ on the original IWX version (Cold War, Caldera). A game that at point had some of the most consistent and gun play experiences I’d experienced had quickly left me feeling utter disbelief a majority of the time. At the time I rationalised that this observed drop in “performance” was the result of a very bloated integration and the spaghetti like nature of continual development changes. Unfortunately my optimism that this could all be resolved upon WZ 2.0 dropping was naive. It was this title in which the inaccuracy of player modelling and aiming direction became glaringly obvious a majority of the time. I think this may have been exasperated by the 3rd person “aim-lean” animation that Modern Warfare 2 introduced, but either way, it was extremely off putting. As we can all agree that things have grown considerably worse as further integrations have occurred, do you think this is actually the bi-product of a skilled labour shortage when it comes to game development? There have been many large scale public layoff since MW2019 went to market. Without having an intimate knowledge of the industry, it would appear as an observer that studios have a really difficult time executing a well refined and quality end product. Treyarc had the opportunity of a full 4 year development cycle for this game and yet these titles feel less and less polished than the titles that were released during the mid 2010’s. Yes, technology has progressed and some improvements have been made when considering fidelity and physics simulations BUT they haven’t necessarily resulted in an improved user experience which is after all, the sole purpose of a video game - an enjoyable experience. Some things to acknowledge would be the scope of platforms these games are developed for now how optimisation is impacted when attempting to achieve a similar experience across these mediums. Any way, love your videos and the detail you provide for the gaming community ❤

[@BasePuma4007]

I remember in the last season of Modern Warfare 2019, Activision had a "We're Hiring" ad on the main menu, which made me wonder if they had ever done that before. It seemed a little desperate that a company of that size would put a link to a job application page right in one of their games. Was recruiting new talent that difficult? Back in 2020 I thought it may have had something to do with the pandemic, but that doesn't explain anything. Nonetheless, Bobby Kotick was explicit that he sold Activision-Blizzard to Microsoft due to increasing competitiveness, increasing technical complexity, increasing difficulty securing investment, and increasing difficulty with talent aquisition and retention. I think you're correct that the degradation in technical quality since MW2019 is likely a result of these factors cascading. We won't know what the effects of the Microsoft acquisition will be for another few years, but Kotick's thinking was that Microsoft would have the resources to aquire top talent and shepherd games like COD (with all the difficult engineering work needed) to continued success. We will see. I hope so. COD is a great franchise and the gaming industry wouldn't be the same without it.

[@tktxlegend4540]

I've known about Warzone's low tickrate servers for a while now. The thing that blows my mind in regards to this situation, and likely will do the same for anyone not aware of this, is that BF4 (a game that launched in 2013) on console ran on 30hz servers. Granted, they didn't launch with those servers. DICE brought us 30hz servers on console some time after launch and I don't remember what the time-frame of that server update was as it's been 10 years, but my point still stands. Roughly 10 years ago, we had 30hz servers on a game that was running on the PS4 and launch Xbox One. The fact that Microsoft, after their acquisition of Activision, is either not giving us or not forcing Activision to give us servers on par with a 10 year old game is actually wild.

[@gel87Kjetil]

Well, there is some of this, and there is some delibirate damage differences between players. 12 headshot hitmarkers in a row, followed by 2 chest and 1 stomach shot with xm4 within 20m range and then enemy kills me first. Killcam looks what i expect, i only had 1 plate and rechallenge him. He Get cought offguard, he misses a lot of shot and he kills me. The difference is that i have peekers advantage, and the fact that i just deal lower damage. When i started to play warzone again i had fun. Due to me having this mindset: - I have boicoited cod for months, i will be rusty. - I have not played this version, it will feel and act wierd for me at start. - I know there is algorithms, but most likely they will take a little time to come back since i have been gone for so long. - I did not spend a single dollar on this game, it is what it is. Having that mindset I actually had fun playing. Zero care for zero effort. But there was no damage differences or hitdetection differences between me and enemy. Game felt great. But as expected they graduatly came back. Yes there is loads of desync and server unstability, but it also takes a lot from the servers to run all theese algorithms 24/7. Have you ever noticed the better you perform the more unstable the game will be? Thats because the better you perform the more active the algorithms are going to behave. I always laught when people claim this is impossible. To run such code on theese unstable servers. Well, clearly they have not read the riccochet patchnotes. Punnishing cheaters with «splash», «zero damage», «fake enemies», and «invisible enemies» live inside game sessions. How is that not live manipulation of engagements? They also clearly have not read all the patents on the matter which are listed as «in use» btw. I have been nerfed since vanguard got integrated into warzone. Its been heavy, 70% of engagements Are rigged to unplayable levels, on 13ping sessions. I dont see many other people running around and 70% of their throwing knives makes acrobatic moves in the air to avoid enemy heads. But i have seen the oppsite on whitelisted streamers, where their throwing knives bend their travel path 90 degrea to hit enemy instead of missing. For me they do the opposite. I also see that when i shot head i will always die to legshooters, but if i shot legs myself im allowed to deal normal damage. In fact in mw2022 beta my mk2 stopped to one tap due to me always aiming for head, to make myself ready for warzone. So i actually found out that if i instead shot enemy tie i would one tap every time. And stuff like ballistic knife stuck inside enemy skulls, 380 damage arrows stuck inside enemy head, the arrow follow enemy head movement as he looks up and down but dont one tap. Enemy recieve a sniper shot to his head and his head bleeds, but he takes no damage. In warzone 1 their way of nerfing quickscopers in warzone was to bend their bullets. It would always curve downwards to the left and hit enemy right tie. If u shot a enemy at around 7-10m and slowed it down to 1/16 speed you could Watch the bullet curve. Point blank all you could see was your aim beeing on head when you fire, but enemy bleed from right hip and you was rewarded with a white hitmarker. My 280ms ads close combat spr immidiatly stopped to one tap when vanguard got integrated to warzone. I went true the regular faces of «maby age finally cought up with me», «maby im rusty», «maby i missed», «it must have been nerfed». But all theese things are very easy to find out on ps5 as it always record and it takes you one calori to store that record and check it out. Stuck Projectile in enemy heads, that is pure proof that damage nerfs is a thing. The server clearly knows that arrow/ballistic blade etc is in enemy head. I also found out that my fury crossbow impact damage got nerfed to excactly half of its impact damage. It did 135 damage on impact, and full explotion damage. 135 is not a damage number for any hitlocation in that patch, but its excactly half of 270 which was impact damage for head/neck. Also, there should not be tons desync in firing range. Where you shot those dummy dolls. I know the dolls there has more HP than in warzone. But if you take off plates you can very often headshot them with heavy snipers and they survive it xD same with 2 plated enemies landing in. And i actually recorded a test with crossbow in firing range. I perfectly aimed at head and shot 10 shots towards head. I had both laser and iron sight to better see that im on point. 7 of 10 arrows either went straight true head, or curved around it. But the funny part is, if you buy codpoints for real money, buy blackcell or some bundle none of this will happen. I got new personal kill record twice at one evening when buying the first blackcell. When i do such i could enjoy gaming. I could run around with guardian knife, crossbow, and throwing knife and be fully capable to shit on Quads with that setup. I knew i would most likely hit that headshot with both crossbow and throwing knives, and i would survive more than 4 bullets so i could use my movement to manouver with the epic speed of guardian and melee the 3rd guy. But when i dont buy stuff its like this: My crossbow bolt will never hit or deal less damage, my throwing knife will have direction towards head, but then suddenly midway there bounce over him, some of them Even bend 90 deagre Angle and just dissapear into the sky, and the enemy will kill me with 4 bullets of any gun on any range, and he will land every shot as my hitbox will be 3m wide and his aim assist will act like aimbot. And most likely my aim assist will act like aim pulloff and make me look like the biggest noob in the game. But aim assist pulloff is the typical nerf for snipers, bullet spread is the typical nerf for shotguns, hit detection is the typical nerf for smg and sprayguns, combined with lowered damage theese days. Also, in a that patch when the first blackcell was released litteral everyone complained their ass of on the audio, i have never had better audio in cod. Because i bought the blackcell. I could hear every single footstep easy! Audio Damage Hitdetection Firerate Hitbox Sprint to fire/gunjam Lagspikes Aim assist/resist/off target locks 90 degrea pov change Spread Bloom effects Projectile trajectory(dno this Word in english) And more is rigged. Gas damage Gasmask duration Gas circle pull For multiplayer you can add in spawns, and that team you went 55-3 vs in first half is now able to Flash and nade you 3milliseconds after spawn 45 times in a row. And only time ur screen is not white is when you Watch killcam, which includes a care package moving sideways in the air and drop on ur head killing you.

The big issue with high tickrate servers for warzone is depending on what’s happening, even a really strong server might not be able to keep up with simulating 60hz for 100 players, and in particularly intense moments, lower end consumer internet connections might not support 60 updates a second. Granted, I’d like to see them go for 60hz sim/update rates, or even go with a dynamic sim/update rate the way sumn like pubg or fortnite did it, or whatever.
