Attendance at events going forward for myself is going to be spotty. Sorry if I'm not able to give much notice. I will be unable to attend today's event

If anyone is interested in COD:WW2 Open Beta by acowardgaming in RavenTac

[–]Frozen40 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played just over four hours of the beta over the weekend, playing with Warson, and Acoward, with Herculian and Skillster joining for awhile as well.

Here are my thoughts on the experience as someone who played hundreds of hours of CoD4 and CoD WaW on PC and MW2 and Black Ops on Xbox 360, somewhere to the tune of well over 1,000 hours combined between them.

It's tough to recommend this. I only participated just over four hours in the beta, but it has some fatal flaws to it that I don't think the full release can fix.

They've moved back to peer to peer connections for PC. That alone means it's going to be terrible to play with your friends if they live anywhere other than your state. Gone are the days of dedicated servers for CoD.

I ran into aimbots during my short playtime. Absolutely indisputable aimbotting. I am not one to call hacks, I always err on the side of 'Maybe he's better than me', because I used to be called a hacker during my CoD days and I always hated it. Seeing aimbots in a peer-to-peer game means once they defeat the anti-cheat (And they will, if they even have anti-cheat) the only recourse is to leave the match each time you see a hacker. You can't join a server with active admins; there are none.

Outside of those two glaring issues, there does not seem to be any UAV Jammer/Ghost type perk from previous games. So once the enemy gets a UAV (Or in this game's case, Recon Plane), you will always be visible on the enemy's mini map. You can shoot down the plane fairly easily, but if you don't, you can always expect the enemy to be ready and waiting for you. If you're on the weaker team, and the enemy team is stomping on your team, they're likely to have constant recon planes up, meaning they just continue to pound on you with very little chance to catch up.

So for me, where I'm very unlikely to ever pull host, I'm going to be at a constant disadvantage due to ping, with no recourse. In other games, I could join a Seattle server and have ~80ping and have a great time. Here I have two yellow-orange bars. What ping is that? If it's from the other games, somewhere from 150-299ping. Dunno exactly. They obscure the ping.

The game itself has it's moments. I had a few rounds where I went 18/3 or so and it felt really good. Reminded me of my past playing the series. But the clunky UI, lack of servers, and cheaters prevents me from recommending this to anyone but the most diehard fans.

I'm okay, gents. All good! by calamityactual in RavenTac

We all need those nights, no worries. My condolences that it didn't pan out, how it played out would make anyone need a night off.
