    I spent all of yesterday finally playing through the Infinite Warfare campaign on PC. I did play at launch but mostly MP. It's not fair how that game was treated back then. That game had ambition, passion and one of my new favourite campaigns in the whole franchise.

    They basically turned cod into a yearly subscription for warzone players, and it seriously blows.

    It explains why the load screens are so long even on next gen hardware. Feels like we're paying 70 quid for a warzone multiplayer expansion.

      I can't even imagine what their code looks like. And that's exactly what I'm saying-you’re basically "forced" to buy the new game to play Warzone and keep up with the content. The new content and blueprints are going to set the meta, plain and simple. It's insane, I get terrible headaches just thinking about it, not gonna lie.

    They dont care.
    They want milk cows, not predators.
    Skilled players has been pushed out since verdansk, replaced with bots and micro transactions.
    Its delibirate. If the game is too good, people will play the old game when a new arrives.
    The reason why warzone 1 got deleted is due to data capture albilities.
    You see this in irl work as well, company replaces extreamly good programs with lesser programs which are made more for data capture and kpi’s.
    For me it has been rigged heavy since vanguard.
    Rigged hitreg
    Rigged audio
    Rigged speed of everything
    Rigged hitboxes
    Rigged damage or hp
    Rigged lethals and lethal projectile path
    Rigged tacticals
    Rigged bullets(they curve sideways, they have bloom/spread effects)
    Yes even in warzone 1 they curved my sniper bullets sideways and to the left to avoid hitting head. At around 7m in 1/16 speed i can litterally see the bullet curve. Meanwhile point blank all i can see is that i shot at head, and enemy bleed from his right hip, which is not even inside my scope.
    Rigged gun jams
    Rigged lag spike when approuching enemy
    Rigged super recoil on zero recoil builds, 3 shots and ur gun is pointing at the sky.
    Rigged team balance. 7 games straight with zero team mates in squad, followed by a game where ur 3 teammates leaves prior to leaving the plane, followed by 3 teammates landing and dying and leaving before my feets have touched ground, followed by 2 guys leaving and 1 afk guy.
    Its all rigged. According to my health pool 90% of enemies deals 45-55 damage per legshot on me. I dno if its hp manipulation or damage manipulation. I always die more or less instant. I have nice ping, good fps. Does not matter.
    Meanwhile i can shot enemies 20-30-40-50 times and they win the battle.
    I had one episode in warzone 4 where i shot a dude 20 times in his upper back, he turns around and delete me. When i watch killcam it contains sound of me hitting him around 20 times before he turn around. But he is unnafected by it. This is not desync. This is manipulation.
    70% of my throwing knives has made a huge bump mid air, deviating from its path toward enemy head. This has happened since warzone 2, its like a 2-6m bump. But now in warzone 4 its a suttle bump, scratching enemy hairline/hitbox.
    My 380 damage crossbow bolt stuck in enemy head is not always enought to kill them, my 300 damage composite arrow stuck in enemy head is not always enought to down them, my 300 dmg sniper within damage range headshot does not always down, and hit detection is awfull, my 300 damage ballistic blade stuck in enemy head did not always down enemy.
    I have noticed 1300% difference in ttk between me and my enemy in warzone 2, both using the wsp swarm.
    I needed 54 upper back shots to down a guy, his teammate needed 4 shots in worse location to down me fully plated. Both within max damage range of 2-3m.
    I have many times dealth over what should be 1000 damage to enemies and they still live.
    In warzone 2 the bryson shotguns was OP the first patch. It would one tap around 10m. Then after a win a duo is pushing us, im in a small house ready with my shotgun, i drillcharge the 2m^2 roof and get blue hitmarker, i peak and fully ads headshot him, blue hitmarker, he jumps down and i fully ads chestshot him, blue hitmarker, im able to land a 3rd shot and blue hitmarker again.
    Thats 250 damage from drillcharge, 3 x 300 damage from shotgun.
    Aka 1150 damage.
    Blue hitmarker means he have 2 plate west.
    So basicly, 1150 damage was not enought to break plates with 100 hp value.

      @xreve_  19 дней назад +1

      I missed out on that one since I stopped playing and paying attention to COD.
      Blackout had its charm-I saw some gameplay here and there back in the day. It was kind of the OG, yeah. I wont deny that.
      I just can’t give a personal opinion since I never played it, but from what I’ve seen and heard, it definitely seemed better than Warzone.

    • @glassconference9088
      @glassconference9088 19 дней назад

      it absolutely was. Thats why I think anyone that was around for Blackout , esp the swag and all those other content creators deserve the sht they are putting up with on warzone lol. That was the first battle royale from Cod , Alcatraz was way fun to play than Rebirth.
      I honestly think each studio should just make their own version of their battle royale to at least give us some variety. Bruh I’m tired of playing this warzone on same engine for what feels like 15 plus years. Greed kills.

      This comment right here! What he's talking about here is exactly what people DIDN'T want--everybody wanted every gun from every version. They made it pretty clear where the franchise is headed. I don't think it's 'happening'. It's done. I bought this one to see how it has changed since BO4. The mechanics are awesome, the guns are pretty cool too, but it's an engagement farm, nothing more. They're not gonna break that up--no way no how. That's where things are headed. Don't know what you got until it's gone, right?

      Black Out was trash. At the time PUBG was the only go to battle royale. (Fortnite for others). Warzone 2020 was not bad. Only cheaters ruined parts of it. I never fell into the yt/streamer cod hate train. I have always enjoyed cod. Even the poop tier cods like advance warfare and ww2.

    Warzone will never be the same after the beauty that was Modern Warfare 2019 and the original Warzone release. It's unfortunate, we watched the horrible integration of Cold War and sometime around DMR zone is where I completely wrote off Warzone. I really enjoyed DMZ, but clearly the community did not like Infinity Ward's movement style with that game. I do feel that Activision needs to put out one Call of Duty, or at the very least one Warzone that isn't taking pieces from other Call of Duty games. I'm tired of playing a buggy ass mess every year when there are tried and true games that have been out for several years and are very stable and still very popular.

    • @xreve_
      @xreve_  18 дней назад

      The only thing I genuinely liked about MW2019 was Warzone Verdansk. Ironically, I played MW2019 much later, after I had already quit Warzone due to the endless bugs, rampant cheaters, and awful servers. At this point, it’s baffling how little they seem to care. It’s like they’re waiting for the day Call of Duty stops being profitable to finally throw in the towel. But as long as people keep buying into this mediocrity, COD will remain profitable for years to come.

    Warzone has become a huge problem for CDL ranked players. They desperately need to separate Warzone from regular cod.

  • @Dangeruss
    @Dangeruss 19 дней назад +3

    I totally agree. Warzone would be better off returning to its roots as a standalone Battle Royale game, focusing on quality over quantity, and re-examining priorities so that it values players more than profit. If it was like this I would be willing to wait on fixes. The deal breakers for me are EOMM, poor servers with low tick rates. I've noticed the game is completely broken for mouse and keyboard you get more no regs than on controller and I literally bought a controller for the first time yesterday to test it out.

    • @xreve_
      @xreve_  19 дней назад +1

      I’d love to see Warzone make an epic comeback, but with COD these days, you just never know.
      EOMM, the servers, and cheaters are the biggest problems by far. They experiment with so many features on us-why not test working servers, a solid anti-cheat system, and no SBMM/EOMM to see if players actually leave? The irony is unreal at this point.
      And honestly, controllers are on another level now. The aim assist is insane compared to the old days.

      @@LD-sx9pr Yes you are right. It was built on MW19 but they had completely abandoned multiplayer when Warzone took off. Every resource they had was poured into Warzone. Even leveling new guns didn't require you to own the multiplayer. Now leveling guns with out MP or Zombies takes so long it's a requirement.

    By having the next game be integrated into wa4zone means people will s5op using the older guns as they fall off. Which is the reason why the Modern Warfare guns still have the slide to fire bug. Anyone who doesn't know after the BO6 jntegration MW2 and 3 guns gained a new glitch that bugs out their slide to fire behavior.

    I hate to say it, but everything you pointed out as issues is the reason I moved to Fortnite for my battle royal fix. I'm not saying that it's perfect, but I don't have to worry about needing to buy a new game every year just to stay relevant in terms of what guns I have or can even use.

  • @JPDD2
    @JPDD2 19 дней назад

    Personally I think they should just roll the game back to MW2019 but with the MW3 fixes. One caveat though, take out slide canceling like MW2 so that the movement is no longer about who can crouch the most but about positioning and evasion. Omni movement really is kind of a gimic but if you aren’t able to slide cancel I think that balances it more. Makes you commit to the riskier movements

  • @ImKudah
    @ImKudah 2 дня назад

    I’ve been saying for a while now, cod should just release a single game but make it have a subscription fee. Pretty close to what they already do 😂 just regularly update it and make it a yearly/monthly subscription and I guarantee people would buy it.

    I've been playing since 07. Serious casual, which means I have wasted professional level hours, but I still suck. Not the point, other than I have been playing this game a long time--until BO4. I stopped there, until BO6, because I was curious. $100 isn't that much for the fun I used to have, but this ain't that game. Call of Duty jumped the fucking shark there's no going back. Good video.

    I got caught away with MW2019. The campaign was excellent. The multi-player was "good" but i was forced using the AS val later in that games life.
    2019 warzone got me hooked becauee my little brother wanted to play with me. Then i bought 3 skins and as soon MW2022 came out, i stopped buying cod games after Cold war. If that makes sense.
    Activision and Microsoft are both greedy companies....

      I would be interested in the numbers of players, who are actually interested in what the shop has to offer.
      And people who buy every single bundle. I think it would be healthier to have Standalone versions of COD and WZ and not force it to be one thing.

    Unless Activision rolls out IP bans and could detect VPNs, the cheaters will never go away.

      Honestly, it’s a pretty fitting title if you ask me.
      I know Warzone fans will dislike this video, and that’s fine-I don’t care. Warzone is the reason COD has gone downhill. Activision saw the money WZ brought in, and now everything revolves around it.
      It’s a pattern: Activision will always chase where the money is, and right now, since 2019, that’s Warzone. Fun fact: 50% of Warzone's revenue comes from just 5% of the player base-the “whales.” The game is a broken mess, and every year they desperately try to patch it up, with the lowest effort ever.
