Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare (Or: How the CoD series died on PC)

Other games

So, just raged rather hard after getting smashed in a couple lobbies with some new reddit friends...

Felt like letting off some steam, so here goes.

This fucking game is an abomination. No, actually... It's not, the Skill Based Matchmaking that is in this game is an abomination. There's 7k-8k people playing at the max and you can't find more than 2 fucking games in HC Domination, and forget playing groundwar or anything but TDM, Kill confirmed and Dom on the regular playlist. This game will be dead before the 2nd DLC drop.

Case in point, I'm going to play another 6 hours, until I get 80 hours played and then I'm uninstalling the fucking thing. I've NEVER EVER sold a game... but if I could, I'd return this piece of shit in a heart beat...

And to add insult to injury, there's a new patch... For every platform OTHER than PC. EVEN LAST GEN CONSOLES HAVE IT BEFORE PC.

Unbelieveable... a fucking disgrace...

Everyone's raging at Call of Duty, Dying Light Modding, Hatred censorship,... And I'm just sat here playing Speedrunners (although I am raging).

COD is weird for me because I have moved on from the franchise (although AW was very tempting) and it does seem to have some bad practices and its loud audience are pretty revolting, however there's a part of me that remembers my enjoyment of previous games and I still want it to exist for other people to enjoy.

You should get speedrunners... Or chivalry... Or come back to Titanfall!

I should come back to Titanfall... the only thing that AW and TF have in common is the dwindling community... But TF does everything better.

And it's good you passed on it... I should've waited and saw what the devs did until Christmas... Foolish me...

I play Chiv as well, it's one of the more original games out there. I've logged 755 hours and paid 3 something back when it first came out. You are correct about AW being tempting as well, but once I would happen to get the game, 1-2 expansions will have came out and it'd cost me too much money. By that time, the new one will be out and since they don't allow community builds for them, well, "Fuck off MW, here comes Black Cocks 3!"

This just in, Dying Light modding is back. Not only is it back, but the Devs are currently creating a modding tool specifically for the game, and are building it based off of the community input they receive from modders and are making it more user friendly. They are trying to get an idea for what kind of Mods people want so that they can make it easier to create them.

CoD on PC has been dead for a while unfortunately, since MW3 or so I'd guess (though I hear BO2 actually did decently, but I didn't play it much on PC). Skill based matchmaking isn't as bad as people make it out to be on consoles, but that's only because there's a large enough playerbase. On PC, especially in a playlist like HC Dom, there won't be many players at all and the same matchmaking process just won't be effective.

A shooter with <10k playerbase really needs a server browser or it's gonna be no fun for anyone. It's a shame, but CoD will always be a console focused game.

Yeah the game was pretty fun for the first few weeks.

I hopped on about a month after launch and it was a really bad experience.

I just felt like there were quite a few bots running rampant, and I couldn't ever find a good match of the more niche rounds.

I was playing with cor when some of this happened. With the player pool below 10k, they really need to remove sbmm from pc.

The group of friends I play with, have a lot of fun in AW, when we can find a game. But with our kdrs, they're very few lobbies to play in.

One thing I have noticed as a result of sbmm, is when I play solo and get thrown into a full lobby. Usually these lobbies are of lesser skill. Get a couple scorestreakes and the hackusations emerge. Because of sbmm (imho), players that continue to play in their respective "same skill pools" rarely see what higher skilled players do on a regular basis, and are unable to learn and adjust from example.

During my early time in TF, I learned a lot from my kill cams. Getting dominated, while slightly annoying, taught me a lot of things I did not know before. Slowly, I learned and made improvements and got better.

With AW's ridiculous match making, this is not viable.

I stopped playing 1-2 weeks after the release. Was a waste of money for me, but oh well lesson learned. Don't know why I was expecting more than before from a CoD. (although the exo is a nice addition, it just wasn't enough for me. Time to kill ruins most of the CoDs for me)

The mashE subreddit is nothing except for a discussion ground and this topic is perfect for discussion.

Is this what mashE comments have become? A place to bitch? Fucking unsub - no one is stopping you.

And what a great discussion it is - 12 hours later there is one comment about the topic.

I'm sorry, you seem to be new here since I haven't seen you in the TS or played Titanfall with you.

Would you mind telling me what MashE is supposed to be about, good sir.

and thanks for pointing out that my post is considered off-topic, I neglected to label it as such, thanks for that. I've corrected this error.

As for why I haven't uninstalled it, I do still like the game from time to time... It's just getting harder to like the game as time goes on.

And I do intend to uninstall the game, once I get to 80 hours played, which at this point is only 3 more hours of play time.

First off:

,good sir.

Really? Neckbeard much?

Secondly, do you not see the irony? You bitch and moan about saying its "Unbelieveable... a fucking disgrace..." and yet you're the one who sunk 80 hours of time into it lol. Not so disgraceful as you say huh? I think CoD has been around long enough that you knew what you were getting when you bought it. Then you post this almost cliche review of it here - while admitting that you are playing the shit out of it.

Seems you're just trying to play the game without admitting you like it so much. Which is fine. But I don't want to go on any sub and just see bitching about a product because it's popular to bitch about.
