I really wish they'd sort out the crashing though, it's ridiculous. I'm on the latest drivers and sometimes it's every other game. It's rare I get more than 3 or 4 matches without a crash.

 

This just crashed twice in a row, and now won't scan and repair. Blizzard's jokey error message is pissing me off 'Whoops! Looks like something broke. Give it another shot.'

 

I've done it several times and as admin and not, and it just won't repair. I guess I'm going to have to download this again. What a load of shit.

I still have this really annoying bug that after each game of 6 vs. 6 it puts me back in the Warzone 2.0 "mode". So loadouts, selectable games etc. are all Warzone related. So after each game I have to quite to the main menu, select MW2 and start searcing for a new game again. On Xbox.

[U2031]

If I go into co-op it resets all my keybinds, so I just avoid it now

I split the Warzone 2.0 posts into their own thread, given that it's an FTP game and quite distinct from MW2:

It’s nice to have Shoot House again. Even though it’s small it feels better designed than most of the maps in this. 

[Kayin Amoh]

Well, that was some random nonsense.

 

On shoot house, earn a care package. Call it in, and since a bunch of the enemy team got killed on the other side of the map from me, they all suddenly spawn beside me and kill me while I'm waiting for it to arrive. Not even exaggerating, I saw three of them pop into existence right next to me.

 

What's inside that care package by the way? Could it be the Juggernaut that they steal? My very first one? Of course it fucking was. 

 

Gah.

When you say 'waiting for it to arrive' you werent just standing there in the open were you?

I'm always hesitant to squad up on these things as I'm excitable and rage like a dumbass.

You’d fit in pretty well with @carlospie then

In any case care packages are one of the worst killstreaks due to you being taken out of the game for a chunk of time and the risk of being killed grabbing it. They’re great for trying new killstreaks out, though.

 I was tucked away behind a guard station at the back of the map with a shotgun ready. By the time it arrives you could run across the entire map length fairly easily I'm sure.

 

It's fine on larger maps with actual room to breathe, but a nightmare on shoot house. 

 

Edit post-Timmo: Yeah, they have a downside - but I'll never get longer and more powerful killstreaks without them. Very easy to steal on this map though. Should drop the bugger with a claymore attached.

100%. I’m far too shit these days to ever get a Juggernaut and when I got one from a care package it was the best few mins I’ve had on the game. It’s hilariously overpowered. 

[Kayin Amoh]

I'm half expecting to see highlights of that match show up on youtube with the heading 'look what this idiot left me in his care package' someday.

 

I think I've only ever earned the gunship heli thing once through normal kills. I feel pretty damn good if I can get three or four kills in a row, fifteen's clearly a pipe dream for me.

[Kayin Amoh]

Also come across a crazy game where I got a 17:1 K/D ratio somehow. I wouldn't bring this up, but I spent at least a minute and a half of it stuck on the SAE calling screen from my care package where I was also killed.

 

Apparently that's a well known bug? Sure made me well up considering the extremely unlikely event of my getting that many ki.... oh yeah, more than half of them were from the chopper so I guess it's not so impressive when you look at it like that. Makes sense, because I'm a bullet magnet usually.

[englishbob]

A few patches have come and gone now - but I still love the fact this is still in it

 

 

[Padaxes]

I'm loving DMZ , sure it's hit and miss with randoms , but when it's good it's great fun. I'm levelling up guns I wouldn't touch, and having fun exploring and doing the missions. 

 

It can be frustrating but it's lightweight enough it's not too bothersome. Gotta know when to leave the randoms to die though ! 

 

 

[Kayin Amoh]

I'm actually doing okay now. Sometimes I'll be at the bottom of the leaderboard but have a great K/D ratio because I'm being a complete scumbag. But hey, everyone else is also a complete scumbag in this. Every death for every player is unfair, even the ones idling, and it's a fun sort of chaos.

 

Yeah, digging this quite a lot. And I've bounced off every CoD online until now.

[moosegrinder]

Still got the ARG code sites open with the intention of buying it but DMZ and Warzone are scratching that itch. Also the doomish nature of posts that we get in CoD threads every year puts me off if I don't take the punt before it comes out.

[Padaxes]

Some of the shit that goes down in DMZ is hilarious.

I spawned in with two decent sounding guys and we helped each other do a couple of missions and shared information, they help me get 13 headshot with the revolver which is very kind of them. One of our squad runs off to get a nearby car and dies to another team. So we remaining two push in, I take a roof top and my compadre revives our downed buddy. At this point the team re-engagebut Ive got them flanked and have the high ground and take down the remaining two from above. Very satisfying. Now we are all geared up and they decide we should go for the weapons case. Ordinarliy this would be my moment to exfil but we were doing well, communicating and having fun so i thought why not lets do it. 

We head up the hill and very easily kill the juggernaut and grab the case. We hop back in our car and at this point we start taking heavy fire from across the canyon. We burn off acorss the bridge weaving madly getting lit up lmg fire from the other squad. 

Our driver opines that they will be following us to get the case as we round the corned heading for the Exfil zone. The plan is call in the chopper and assume defensive positions to kill our pursuers. We hurtle into the canyon towards the green smoke, unfortunalty there is a squad waiting for us. Two of us are downed instantly out of the vehicle in the crossfire , the vehicle coasts to a stop and our one remaning team memeber dives for cover. At this point the third sqaud show up, our team mate shouts for peace, kills the last of our ambushers who is IN the exfil helicopter and grabs the weapons case. Only to be shot in the back by another guy emerging from the cave behind him.  4 squads ? 

Absoloute carnage.

[Padaxes]

Here's my last game, had some real fun in here, though the ending is a bit weak.

TLDR: PvP at 8 till 14 minues.

 

Joined up with 2 randos. It didnt capture my voice in this, so you can't hear me talking to them , but they were unresponsive, only using pings to communicate so you are not missing much.

We head off and have some battles with the AI that get pretty intense as we get towards the UAV tower.  Once we trigger the UAV I notice some players (the solid dots on the HUD) and engage. This is about 8.00 minutes in so skip to there.  I snipe a two man squad , the voices you hear are proximity chat , so its the enemy team  

But while Im distracted my two rnadom compadres are taken out by a third squad. I return and drop a bomb drone on them which gave me a proper chuckle, especially their reactions, Then start sniping them. But then they reactivate the UAV tower and the tables are turned its now a 3 v 1 hunt, and I am the prey, My teammates log off and im left to run and gun. I end up on an island sniping and down one and decide to flee. i wonder if I could have stuck around with the range advantage, but I wanted to Exfil. 

The rest is speeded up and not that interesting, just a couple of AI jumping me at the chopper site.

Such good fun though!

I don't know what I'm doing in this so if anyone can help it'd be appreciated - playing warzone 2 I got to the last 10 and then my UI and map disappeared and I had to play out the last part of it with nothing on screen. Is that something it does for the DRAMA of the end of a game or had someone used a killstreak or whatever?

It shouldn't do that unless it's some special mode they've brought in. I'd say that's a bug

 

I'm getting pretty bored with this to be honest, my main gripes are that the TTK is way too quick in normal mode and there aren't enough maps. Ground war and Invasion just turn into tedious sniper duels after the first few minutes, and the maps aren't very well suited for those game modes IMO. To be fair though I am levelling the guns up as fast as I can, so I know when I go back to assault rifles it will be more fun again, but at the moment I'm not really feeling this.

[SpagMasterSwift]

I maxed out the X12 pistol and added the Akimbo to the X13 Auto pistol for duel wielding and now everybody hates me.

 

I'm usually the guy crouching at corners with a scoped assault rifle, but now I'm playing like an absolute lunatic...and having fun.

[hmm]

Add me to the 'DMZ is (unexpectedly) great' gang. Buggy as hell - the hilariously easy to trigger max money glitch, for example - but fun regardless.

 

I do wonder, as I progress through the missions, if it will remain as fun though. They're getting increasingly elaborate and demanding, which isn't surprising but does lend itself less and less well to cooperation, especially with randoms.

Yeah, that's just fucking weird. They know their audience, mind.

[Hello Goaty ♥]

Are there any COD games at the moment on the consoles or i suppose PC , apart from this that are really well played by loads?  fancy a Call Of Duty fix  but not for 60 quid

Michael Jackson is the more suitable match up to these games - jumping and sliding

 

If only the Generals during WWI and II knew that many lives could have been spared if the soldiers jumped around every corner and into each doorway whilst firing

[englishbob]

On the subject of the core old school multiplayer modes and menus here, updates/patches are not really happening at a great frequency - it's still rough as hell, like a beta - not something at £70. All the menus I see are fucked, overlays all over the place, no idea who is in the lobby, missing graphics and glitches

 

I guess priorities have shifted (as always) to the F2P Warzone and dressing up stupid content to sell - rather than getting out a polished title that took 3 years into any decent-ish state.

[T Pot]

Anyone having issues with this tonight? I logged in on xbox to be given the user agreement screens again, and now I'm stuck on checking for update. Cannot get past it at all.
