Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2019

game can look really gorgeous on some maps...for some reason Ground War looks average but the other modes look really impressive...the RTX features should take this to another level...

Preliminary Findings:
  • TTK seems off
  • Assault weapons as usual suck
  • Feels like an off release BF game ala, Hardline, Medal of Honor 2 etc.
  • 10 years too late
  • Freezes/Locks up with Afterburner OC'ed
The 1 pro will be the player base count, but man Ground War is a cluster fuck at the moment.
 
I'm installing this. I'm definitely looking forward to it. The original is one of my favorite games of all time.

This one is easier to work your way out of spawn traps.

I have a class that has all the explosives and utility crutch perks that's been really handy today.

Got my first chopper Gunner bc I wasn't blind or getting blown up.

Stim is super good to get yourself past a 7 gun kill streak.

Not sure why these guys are complaining about the ARs, I'm going 2:1 kd & top scoring on objective modes using the AK and M14.

Maybe these guys gotta level up their gun builds.

TDM I'm 3:1 kd and climbing.
 
The AA shimmering is atrocious at max settings at 1440P, FPS steady 70 -120 with a XFX 390X and a 5820K CPU. Needs a high res texture pack to dl.

Filmic AA is garbage, IMHO. Hoping to find a config file to edit.

Game play decent no stutters or lag or server issues.

Turned off chat to shutdown Xboxers and PSers.

Worth about 40 USD IMHO fun to pop in to play.
 
One thing you have to remember to do is to set the resolution scaling. Mine defaulted to 50% for some reason. I set it to 100% and it looked allot better.

I am at 1440 in 1440 out on render, still crap AA.

I'm using an AK right now, couldn't tell you the attachments off hand, but I get dropped to SMGs 1x1..

I've seen people bitch about the M4, so maybe I need to level that instead.
 
Only gun I found success with so far is the MP5. I haven't played it very much though.
 
I'm enjoying NVG game mode better then Ground War...graphics look better and the game feels tighter and more fun

I’ve yet to find a NVG game mode. Where are you finding it? Just in quick play?

it's not in Quick Play...it's a separate category like Ground War...but I think they are randomizing the modes so it's not available all the time
 
the 2v2 Gunplay is better then I thought but Deathmatch is my preferred mode...performance is excellent even on my 1070 and graphics are also really nice outside of Ground War
 
I just went on a 10 kill AK streak and ended a Dom game with a VTOL and Chopper Gunner.

I need Kill Chain unlocked.

I'm doing my gun builds by feel.
Recon is a great perk.
The AK can reach out.
Moving while ADS I'm on the fence about, there are more productive gun perks for the AK.

I can see how flick aiming ADS withperks the M4 or M13 would be a big crutch build.
Depends on your play style, but I'll go shotgun if I'm playing that way bc this game I'm flicking close or not at all.

I think the customization options are just right, been watching streamers while Itake breaks to upload clips.

M14 feels like a pool cue, gotta level it up and I can clear those rooftop and 2nd story window campers no problem.

Stopping power isn't working for me bc I get killed right after I put it on. It isn't contributing to the 2 more kills I need for an AC130. Dunno what else I need, but I'm only level 29 so something will unlock and I'll get the gunship.

I'm not really noticing any benefit above 165hz.
Switched to my 1080p panel.
Some games you notice your gunfights are more consistent the higher the framerate.
There's no peek advantage.
I'm not hitting way more of my snipes, this seems to be a hitscan game where the virtual bullet thing 180+ fps is totally noticeable.

Give this clip a bit to process up to native.
I really wish I'd been recording the whole match.
I had a 12+ gun streak but only just unlocked the AC130 during the match.

 
I think the MCX sucks, but I am only level 10 or so. I find the M4A1 to be much better. MP5 I got some good rounds as well, 23 to 7 or so. Nothing spectacular but better than average I assume. Going to the MCX even with some upgrades and I couldn't keep 1 : 1.

Going to mirror what someone else said, indoors can be a bit dark. Looking outside a door is too bright when you're 4-5 feet back. I think it has to do with gameplay balance more than technical. I find compared to BF4 (hardcore) it is easier to go full auto and get many hits on target. So they have to do the abnormally bright outdoors and awkward transition to prevent people from just sitting in windows all day. Not the ideal solution IMO.

Spawning on the big map is still pretty brutal. Definitely needs some tweaking. Many times I'll see enemies spawn next to me and some friendlies or vice versa.

Not liking the way non-aiming works at all though. Spread is just too much.

I may get the game though. It isn't my favorite thing but I have to say I like it most than most online games I've played in a long time. Pretty much all I play these days is BF4, Ace Combat 7 (which has a small population) or Super Smash Bros. Tried Insurgency Sandstorm and while I like some of the weapon feel and graphics, I can't get into the gameplay and odd recoil system.

how many fps are you getting and what res and settings?

id want to be rocking near 240hz @ 1080p for Gunfight.
Use a fast tn panel with all syncs off.
I need to turn gsync off tmw and see if I can feel it, some games a little bit of an edge is like having an extra gun perk on.

My AK is lvl30, I've got a pretty good idea of how the perks stack to favor how I play.

MW has a lot of gear depth that may or may not be very appreciated or apparent.

I'm at 1440p G-Sync 144hz so with my GTX 1070 to get a steady 60+ fps I had to disable AA and Tessellation...I also turned textures to Normal...all other settings are maxed out...I think I can use Tessellation but I haven't really experimented with it as the game looks pretty stunning even with those settings lowered...in the screenshots I posted earlier you can see MSI Afterburner running in the top left corner...I'm getting anywhere from 65-90 fps...it's very smooth...I'm not even using the latest Nvidia driver that was specifically meant to be used for this beta...I heard for Pascal users 430.86 is still best so that's what I'm using

Did the beta include single player or only multiplayer?
 
Finally got a chance to play the beta. Graphics aren't overwhelming and game play is just over chaotic. Not really impressed. I'm not as good at multiplayer as I used to be as I'm getting a bit older,lol. I'll wait for offline bot play.

I played the Team Deathmatch 6 v 6 and it was less chaotic. Will try the 10 v 10 version today. Might be the sweet spot but the map was smaller in the 6 v 6 than what I am used to. I tried the 2 v 2 mode as well and had more fun than I would have thought. Can be fun if you have a few friends. But I can see the 10 v 10 mode being what I end up playing.

Will this game have a proper server browser? I absolutely hate match making. I can tolerate it for the alpha but not being able to select the map I want to play is just outright dumb.

Another random thing I don't like about this game. The loading of the weapon when you spawn. Especially in the larger map where you can often get killed within 2 seconds of spawning. I know it dates back to Counter Strike and older CoD games but really, it just isn't practical from a gameplay perspective. Or even from a common sense one. You'd have your weapon loaded before going into battle anyways. :p

So I have lots of nitpicks with this so far. I do wonder what will be changed if any of those by the time release comes. But I am leaning towards getting it.

Run everything low or off.
It's a fps title, framerate is everything.
 
I've hit the beta level cap of 30...I'm getting tired of the same maps...it's been a while since I've played a CoD game, it was definitely fun running around spraying players with bullets...with the lack of a new Battlefield game this year I think this is going to sell even more copies...outside of Doom Eternal and Outer Worlds I'm not really planning on getting any new games this winter so I'm seriously considering picking this up...

true but I like for games to look a bit nice even in MP...I'm not a hard core CoD player competing in tournaments and such so I don't need every last frame...I still find myself near the top of the leaderboard as it is now...

I get it, but framerate can reduce deaths.
i highly recommend trying it for a few games.

With a decent PC you're getting very high frame rates as is. My issue is frame rates are similar to Battlefield 3/4 while looking a lot worse. For a 2019 AAA game that is full priced it looks fairly bad. BF3 blows it out of the water and that is from 2011. But a lot of the things look fairly underwhelming in this game. It just lacks all the small details. Bullets hitting someone will still be seen passing through them as if they didn't hit a physical object. The MCX has translucent mags but when you reload, the mag still has ammo in it. Gameplay altering? No. Kind of lame for a AAA game in 2019? Absolutely.

Far from terrible but overall feels pretty "meh" throughout. I think I prefer the TDM mode because the spawn killing isn't as bad.

that's all I've really been playing...I'm a Deathmatch kinda guy which is why I never got into the Battlefield series which is all about teamwork Capture the Flag, Domination etc...one thing this new Modern Warfare does really good is the audio...almost as good as the audio from DICE- guns have a nice powerful sound to them...Ground War is kinda meh...that 2v2 Gunfight mode is better then expected but it seems more like a quick showdown versus employing any real strategy...that NVG (Night-Vision Goggle) mode is pretty fun as well...

I never saw the NVG mode. The way to select game types is annoying, but I saw a way to filter them now but NVG seemed to have disappeared? Will double check.

I regularly play BF4 TDM hardcore. Domination servers are gone, at least for hardcore. TDM has lasted with a good enough player base.
 
right, try realism
all the other bf guys like it if gw doesnt do it for them.
its about the promise of xplay keeping pc gamers going, nothing else.

Realism mode is pretty damn fun. They need to reduce the UI elements for the rest of the modes as well, which is sort of a ‘no shit’ statement since its obvious to everyone they throw too much shit on the screen. Having fun with realism mode though.

I liked the reduction of announcer spam and other theatrics.
Gunfire, footsteps, utility, and model call outs are fine.

I really have to resist the urge to reload using a level capped AK with extended mags, it got me killed a few times.

I wish they’d raise the cap tonight, I want to try out the suppression brake in Ground War.
Just hammer the clustered bodies so you can work on them.
 
Realism mode have sealed the deal for me, was raping face, and its somewhat fun.

PS. the M4 is pretty L33T
 
With how multiplayer is right now I’d be happy if there isn’t a battle royale. I personally don’t think there will be one, it seems like they’re putting a lot more work into mp. There may be a br but I’m not expecting one. And if there is it’ll be a nice surprise for me
 
Already got into 1 flaming fight with my girlfriend bc I’m playing this beta.
Apparently her sister didn’t want to go see Downton Abbey the Movie, which I guess is like their version of getting an AC130.

I partied up with 2 cousins and a friend of mine last night and we played until midnight. The GF was over and she wasn't happy with me either. She kept hearing me say "one more? ok" for about an hour and a half. Sometimes me making the suggestion for another round, sometimes me confirming i'm in for another round.

We did encounter one cheater in a game of groundwar that was IN the ground near our HQ just picking people off. Pretty lame, didn't even look fun watching his kill cams. I just don't understand the motivation. Hopefully there's better anti-cheat during the final version.

We also had an issue with the party system not being able to reconnect to the matchmaking service after the first game we play. I needed to completely quit back to desktop. Reload the game, recreate the party and join another game after each round. A bit frustrating but I would have to assume beta bugs and not something that will still be an issue on October 25th

The GW maps are too small for 64 players. I would like to see a TDM option with 32 players on a GW size map though.

Performance is good with the exception of the FPS tanking during the re-spawn animation, and the space heater like characteristics my PC exhibits when playing will be welcomed in late October when it's cooler weather.

All said and done, I think it's the best COD we've seen in a while. 3 out of 4 of us who played last night had pre-ordered the game and intend on keeping our pre-order. I'm pretty sure the 4th will get the game around the time it's released.

Sounds like you need to threaten anal to get rid of the gf aggro...
 
The gameplay was a lot of fun and I would consider buying it BUT

The game is a fuzzy, blurry mess. It feels like a game meant to be played at 720P that just got upscaled to 1440P

It makes me feel like something is wrong with my eyes - my brain keeps going "why isn't this in focus? why isn't this sharper?"

I was getting near 144Hz almost all the time at 1440P with a 1080Ti

Was pleasantly surprised to find that performance at 7680x1440 was excellent (110fps+) until I realized that just because the game says it's running at 7680x1440 doesn't mean that's what it's actually doing.

I suspect it was 4096x768 as the pixels were fat and blurry (but fast!)

Console to PC cross-play is a great idea but not if it means the PC world has to be dragged down to the image quality of current consoles.

Honestly, it feels like it was sponsored by the Optometrists Association 1-800-YU-BLIND
 
I'm normally not a MP gamer outside of Dark Souls type of pvp or games where you play directly against 1 or more other players which is why I only enjoy Deathmatch type of content in games like CoD etc...I thought Team Deathmatch was fun in the beta...I'm was getting tired of those same 2 maps though...I want to see lots of varied maps and hopefully a Free For All type of DM...map size was fine but I would also like some bigger DM maps

I hate team/squad objective type of modes...it's not as fun for me...I get more satisfaction playing pvp because you know you won/lost by your skills alone and not having to rely on other players
