I got timed out for inactivity while waiting for my turn in the gulag. wtf.

 

[The Bloody-Nine]

Its a weird decision to instantly cut the map in half by revealing the circle instead of a traditional BR where player engagement is driven by trying to reach the circle.

It's in keeping with the rest of the game. 'New players must feel welcome'.

 

[Mista]

They added solos

I feel like this probably isn't worth the effort/money?

 

[Fake]

Still trying to play, so what is this new solo?

Solo seems the same but no 3 man team

lmao. So I being playing solo since release. People take a shoot and ragequit.

 

[Inviusx]

I've been having a blast with this, squadding with my 2 buddies. It's the first COD I've played since Blops 2.

The traditional gun unlock system combined with the ability to buy a load out mid match is such a fantastic change. Plus the Gulag and the buy back system makes it an absolute joy to keep fighting till the very end.

I've had several games where only one of us were left, leading to a mad scramble for cash to bring the others back.

Definitely my favorite BR this gen. Easily.

 

[MMaRsu]

Sweet they put in a solo mode

Say whaa? I mean I get your point bu..you had one too many last night , no?

i can’t see this being useful when it only last 30 seconds. Variety is too important

Sry, don't get your post. Are you asking me if I played yesterday?

 

[New Yorks Finest]

Oh, never mind, I get it.

The way your sentence was put together was all over the place, but no biggie, I gotchu

 

[Kagey K]

I guess I should try a game of this. I’ve been putting it off.

 

[Portugeezer]

Is it possible to to play against solos only? I can't always get in a group (random are a bit shit).

Yeah I just saw. Nice.

Socialism.

Never once.

 

[Techies]

I like it, it just adds more options. The helicopters always spawn on the same place, so you can land way outside the circle and easily get inside it again. So you can choose land in the middle and defend, but be joined by other teams and most likely fight it out in the start. Or play around the edge of the gas and move inwards.

 

[Woo-Fu]

Socialism.

Never once.

It's because I stayed in my cell, sitting on the can, waiting for my turn without moving at all. It's prison, yo.

 

[Sub_Level]

Is the Plunder mode good for a party of friends? I've only played a few rounds of Battle Royale.

 

[MMaRsu]

I stayed in a heli for 70% of a solos game, just flew around till the final circle. I landed on a roof when only 4 were alive, popped my uav and killed the last guy alive

rofl so unfair and lame but i wanted to see if I could do it

 

[kratos32432]

Man someone did this to me today too we were so close to winning!!

 

[Lupin3]

Plunder is great. Way more fun than regular BR in my opinion, even with randoms.

 

[Fake]

I disable crossplay after find someone cheating.

 

[Lupin3]

Maybe I'm blind, but how do you find out your team's placement in Plunder when the game is over? It just tells me how much cash we collected and ejaculates a whole bunch of XP all over me before returning me to the lobby. I see nothing about placement.

 

[IbizaPocholo]

 

[kratos32432]

Can someone tell if the AX is better than the HDR? Cant Decide which to use :\

 

[Life]

Rooftops seem almost game-breaking man. Imagine this scenario:

You just shot up a team, they all escape the Gulag and find an 18 storey building to parachute on. They collect rooftop weapons etc and have immense height/vision advantage. Any time they feel the heat they can just parachute down to safety.

Climbing up is just ridiculous - and we need ziplines outside the buildings from different directions, or tools to do the same with. There are people who are happy to just sit on a rooftop and do nothing until an easy kill comes along.

It's trash.

 

[KINGMOKU]

I cannot believe there is still no squads. Unbelievable.

Every day that goes by, I care less and less about this game. Me and the squad have been continuing to play blackout and now I just wish they would add a new map to that game. I've played a few rounds of warzone and didn't care for it, but I won't know for sure until the team can actually play together.

Feels like ground war with extra steps, not a true BR.

Oh well. Not that I expected much from IW but to still not have squads, and not try and up their game with 5, or even 6 man teams is wierd to me.

 

[Ktsdaddy]

What's wrong with groups of 3?

Technically a squad still lol.

 

[KINGMOKU]

What's wrong with groups of 3?

I've got 5 dependable guys who have been playing pubg, and blackout since launch now. We are used to quads. One guy drops, another jumps in. The timing has worked for quite some time now.(one works, the other jumps in, e.t.c.)

Here comes Warzone and it reverts back to 3? Get bent. What they should have done is introduce groups of 5, or 6 and promote larger teams for a BR, not take away a player. It's just dumb. I'm not even getting into that it's just multiplayer, really I'm just extremely annoyed that they can't seem to replicate basic functions like 4 person teams when Activision has another COD BR on the market that has it.

"150 players!"

*Teams of 3 only

*Oh here's solos two weeks later

I'm just dumbfounded by it.

 

[TheShocker]

I’d really like to see an option to either disable cross play or pick at least console only. It’s pretty obvious when I’m playing against PC players. Not that enjoyable.

The game is trying to fill up 150 people in one lobby. So the number has to be uneven. You cant have a group of 4, how will you end up with 150 in total? So the last group will always suffer with like 1 player only in the group. 5 is possible, 6 no etc. They said they will expand to 200 players so thats when u can get the quads.

That means that you didnt even finish in the top ten..

I agree with ziplines and quick access to rooftops. It would be a nice addition to find some. What I try to do to combat rooftop warriors is collect money and put the kill streaks to use!! Cluster and precision airstrikes tend to clear out the rooftop campers.

 

[OneShotThrill]

Seems SBMM has made its way to Warzone as well. Kills the whole vibe of having a random casual match. Just make ranked playlists

 

[Fake]

Just let campers live in their rooftops. At least in Pundler mode, they lost much of the match because they don't do objectives.
My place vary between 4th and first.

And it’s a lot of fun watching them scatter like cockroaches.

That bad, huh? At least it told me when we won.

Do you know that for sure?

Lol i was gonna say the same thing. Its like spraying Raid on roaches

Yea In Plunder it will say mission completed if youre not in top 10. If youre in the top 10 it will tell you your finishing place.

That is so fucked up. Why, WHY is SBMM determined to ruin one of the best CODs that's come out in 10 years?? Why do they insist on it?

The first MP shooter that advertises itself as having NO SKILL BASED MATCH MAKING is going to sell gangbusters. I know I'd buy it.

Really need quads
