No it isn't. That's an option, however the last few COD games you could turn it off in game for all normal modes except big team battle and Warzone. It was also the same on the beta for this. You could turn it off in game for the normal modes, but it wouldn't let you play invasion with it off. 

 

Battlefield tried the whole "Xbox forces it at a system level" BS on launch. They quickly added the turn off cross play toggle in an update not long later. 

 

I've just looked at cold war and I've actually disabled it in there, so fuck knows what I'm talking about.

 

If you can't turn it off in this it's another reason not to buy it because they'll never re-enable it.

already bought it and played the campaign, so I ain’t getting a refund from Microsoft

Can somebody tell me how to activate hardcore mode?

 

At the moment the long TTK and lack of decent hit feedback sounds makes this feel like I am firing blanks into sponges which is not great. HC will at least remove the spongey feeling but the lack of decent hit feedback is probably going to curtail my interest in this pretty quickly.

Don't think it's an option.

Thought is was just me as I can't see it anywhere, it was under the mode filters on the last one. 

 

This is quite a significant drawback.


IW have said it’s “coming soon”. I’ve got my fingers crossed there’ll be an update today to put it in, think updates are usually around 5/6pm UK time.

Have they changed it since the beta? I was dropping people with as little as 2 or 3 bullets then.


If anything they are dropping easier, the TTK is very low.

 

Really enjoying this. Only playing Team Deathmatch so far but everything feels great.

Anything more than one shotting is too long for me! 

 

I have no idea how many bullets it takes to kill someone as I'm not getting enough feedback from the game for me to be sure but it is definitely more than two (just using the starter assault rifle and SMG). It is more than I recall Vanguard was when I played SC on that but it may be less, it is hard to determine exactly but I need to be aiming at an enemy and hoping I am hitting them for way longer than I like. It is hard to underestimate just how much a decent hit marker sound adds to player feedback and this is very lacking (I've tried both the 'classic' and 'MW' marker sounds) even after turning down the volume of other sounds but it is still weak and I really shouldn't need to make big changes to the audio mix.

Ah, excellent! 

 

Fingers crossed.

Apologies if this has already been asked but I have just received my PS5 copy and after optimistically claiming it was ready to play after installing the 70mb on disc it's now downloading a 45gig file - which I expected, of course.

 

But, once this is installed can I jump straight into the campaign or will I have to download more stuff?

They've ruined third person mode! In the Beta you ran around in third person, giving you more of a view of your surroundings and letting you check for bastards a lot easier and then when you hit aim it would go to ADS first person view. I assume because of feedback from arseholes everything appears to be in third person now. I have no idea why you'd do this. Before it was a really nice mix of tactics and great feeling COD and now everything's in third it's just underwhelming. When playing the Beta solo third person was all I played but now I doubt I'll go near it again. Luckily the maps I've played of the regular arena multi feel a lot bigger than those offered up by the beta so I'm having a pretty good time with that but yeah... a shame!

Because it's a 3rd person mode. It's not a proper 3rd person mode if something you do the majority of the time isn't in 3rd person!

After loving 2019 and only really getting on with third person and Ground War on the MW2 Beta I loaded this up this morning and won my first Free For All. It was great! I had my headphones on and could really lock down a location and use people's footsteps and sprinting against them. I'm sure over the next few weeks the sprint at 1,000mph and constantly jump crowd will complain about using actual tactical play and that'll all be patched out but early signs are good!

 

+1 Plenty of time for them to fuck this later on with a patch. 

 

Glad to know that I'm not the only one that believes that running around at stupid speeds in complete silence is a game breaking thing

 

Ended up turning off crossplay on PS5 in the end - didn't get anywhere near top 3 on FFA for about 2 hours - since turning it off it's a better game.

 

Nice to see the lowest common denominator of gaming is still in full effect - already had a game against someone called "ShamimaBegum" - classy

 

I'd be interested to know what the PC Master Race makes of the graphics in MP ? (especially after coming straight from Vanguard which was very pretty indeed).

 

MP map graphics feels like they got a special deal on some old Ubisoft assets and did those - they are pretty grotty in a lot of places. Animation still excellent if not better than before, but it feels early PS4 to me - maybe I'm missing a download or something

That's COD for you. I'm Anne Flank. We have Hugh Jardon, Helda Dich and Anita Widerbox in our group.

If you turn the crossplay off at system level the game forces you to turn it back on or you can't play. 

 

Wtf.

It will work if you go through some steps

 

1. Press OK

2. Enter your password/Pin code

3. When asked if you want to allow connection to people outside of Xbox, press Cancel

4. You should be back in the game and able to play

It looks fine to me with everything at max setting and 4k - nothing spectacular but functional enough. Lighting seems a bit flat maybe but that might be due to so many maps being set in sunny ME or Mexican locales.

Whilst I like the way it plays so far in MP I haven't really taken to any of the maps at all. Can tell you the worst one though, the border control one.

 

Interested to hear from what others think that have played though Cold War and Vanguard on the maps

 

I've not found any of the maps to be especially interesting.

 

The half dozen or so I have played have all felt like random collections of very connected rooms and corridors with quite small open areas. I've seen very little sniper or marksman usage as the maps seem to encourage assault rifles, SMG's, and shotguns so it's just loads of high speed running around with short to medium range weapons so far. There was much more variety in Vanguard and Cold War but it's early days and they added lots of maps to those over the year. I would like just one decent sized three lane type map for now though so I can do a bit of sniper alley type playing.

 

Surprised that folk are finding it slower and tactical as it seems pretty fast and hectic to me. The new mine/grenade thing that burrows into a wall and explodes on the other side has a lot of potential for fun.

I can imagine the Activision round table on download size

 

“We should give the players the opportunity to download the portions of the game that they want to play to help save space”

 

”We can do that but only if it’s made extremely convoluted. Also, we make one of those portions mandatory and not include it on the base download”

I suck. Playing the campaign. I'm in a plane defending ar boys and I just suck so much I can't stop the building getting overrun. Too much going on for my elderly brain.

 

I am enjoying the MP though and I normally don't play it.

Apparently there's a toggle for this, you can still use the the 3rd person aiming mode. It's somewhere in the menus according to an ExclusiveAce video I watched last night.

Played the MP all night. Absolutely loved it. Played Kill Confirmed, Domination and the new Prisoner Rescue mode. Can't think of anything I didn't enjoy. Just a hugely satisfying evening of wine and pew-pew. This will be my game until they mess it up as they always do, but for now, yeah, it's an absolute belter.

Ever so slightly underwhelmed by MP today (FFA and a bit of TDM) - I think it's the maps and their general meh-ness that is responsible, and some of the weapons too.

 

Not a single one comes close (or as memorable) to 2019s MW, or maybe even the last x2 COD. This new game feels like it's on the cheap so far
