    What is the Multiplayer like in this game? Is it basic like original COD 4, or a lot more stuff going on like MW2 onwards?

    I preferred the more basic games, where killstreaks were useful, but not game changing, as I felt the later streak bonuses took away from the actual game.

    More like MW2. The killstreaks are still similar and have been for years in the Modern Warfare branch but with the nerfs to movement it's really focused the game more on gun skill now. Also, there's a lot of cover to hide from things like the V-Tol and Chopper Gunner in most maps tbh.

    I disagree tbh, I think all of them have been nerfed in terms of effectiveness. I've had a fair few chopper gunners now and have only managed to get a lot of kills with it once. Much harder to kill with than in the original MW2.

    That's more to do with map design though rather than the streaks being nerfed. I mean they are easier to down than in the original MW2 and there's no Pavelow but there were a lot more maps with open areas in the original if I remember correctly. I had a V-Tol on highway last night and it got me about 15 kills :laugh:

    Not at all, it literally takes much longer to kill someone in a Chopper Gunner than it ever did in MW2.

    Tbf that was a major problem with MW2. They opened up the maps to make the kill streaks more effective, and essentially turned the game into who could get their streaks going first.

    Yeah, the killstreaks are still good and similar to MW2 but yeah, they are less effective in terms of game outcome as a lot of maps have buildings. It's more gun skill I suppose.

    Finally got a Series X and have been playing a lot of DMZ and it's really quite good fun. I don't think I can be arsed with Warzone any more.

    I was wrong. I've been playing nothing but Warzone for weeks now

    I actually much prefer it it 1.0, I think the removal of mechanics abusing shite like slide cancelling, the perk system making Ghost much less prominent and just the general gun play has made it much better.

    A big criticism I've seen is that it's too much like Pubg but that's exactly what my friends and I are enjoying.

    Got bored if this 2 weeks after release and uninstalled it. Gunplay is fun but the maps are dog shit.

    I play with Shane regularly along with other lads who used to be on the forum, and most of us hate the new mechanics.

    Slide cancelling I used to really use to my advantage, but I wasn’t bothered about it being reinstated to this COD. However, I do think the movement speed is horrifically slow and the TTK needs to be vastly boosted. Once you’re in the open being fired upon you just stand little to no chance of surviving.

    Starting to notice that there definitely seems to be some kind of bug with the damage at the moment. Enemies feel like bullet sponges and I get shredded like wet tissue.
