Thoughts? comments?

Thought it was pretty Cool. Its almost a most you have to play with a group. I only play team death match though. Some take aways from my experience with the beta.

1) the maps were very close quarter maps and the games are fast paced.
2) killstreaks were terrible with the exception of the UAV's.
3) Playing solo will be a miserable experience due to UAV's. The game does not allow a suppressor attachment and the ability to be unseen by a UAV.
So you have to choose one of these.
If you get a bunch of terrible players on your team good chance you show up to enemy players the whole game. THAT SUCKS!
4) shotgun was way to strong.
5) The sub machine guns looks like they will rule this game much like black ops 2
6) Playing with a group of good players makes the game fun. If playing Solo the days of carrying bad players to a victory is over if this format is carried to NOV 3rd.

Final rating out of 10 . I would say a 5 playing solo and a 8 playing with a group of friends.

I played on the PS4. Not sure that makes a difference but just stating it because of the thread title.

There are a bunch of good kill streaks. None OP, which is good, but I got plenty of kills with fighter pilot, bomb, paratroopers. By the way UAVs are trash against any team that isn't new. They are easy to shoot down, easy score as it is worth more than a kill. Not sure why you have an issue with that. It is a wasted kill streak IMO if you choose it.

Once again false. One clip from your gun will take down the UAV.

Subs were for sure king but the auto assault rifle was really good too.

I guess i never tried that when i played solo. I guess there were so many going up against me because most of the players i played with were dying 20 times

Good observation though.

Well subs are not the best for shooting it down. But just create a 2nd class with an assault rifle if you are getting overwhelmed by them. That you can switch back and forth with.

I enjoyed the pace of the game. This is the first COD I've played since Ghosts, so it was nice to be playing again.

Agreed with this part only.

4) shotgun was way too strong.

Flamethrower as well. Son of a bitch I hate those things.

6) Playing with a group of good players makes the game fun.

I wouldn't know, but I'd assume so.

Really? I thought It was the subbies that need to be nerfed. Wayyyy too powerful, accurate, and quick to ADS.

I was wrecking shop with the ppsh with the drum. Slanging lead across the room n dishing out headshots.

Ding. Ding. Ding. Grenade. Off goes a leg. Ding. Reload.

That was my weapon of choice as well. Extended mags and rapid fire. Avg was like 20-8 with this setup.

Sounds like every complaint from every CoD ever.

It's nothing special, just another COD. Was so into another WW2 game, and this was not it. WAW it is not.

Maybe Battlefield will be decent with it's next game.

I really enjoyed the beta, like others have said the ppsh is the shite especially if you also put rapid fire on there. Straight mows them down.

My only complaints were the shotguns and quick scoping, so pretty much my only complaints with every CoD

Also the strafe run kill streak kinda sucked imo and my paratroopers seemed to get killed off extremely quick. The glide bomb is a pretty sweet animation.

I didn't like it at first but once I learned how to place it I was getting 2 at least and sometimes 4.

Was probably my fav score streak because of how easy it was to get, relative to kills.

The Waffe 28 and the STG44 were the best two guns in the beta I found. With the Waffe being crazy OP. You had to keep to CQC but it was way better than the other 3 subs IMO.

Um, there were no unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in WWII.

Does anyone else think the quick scoping is hard on this game? Everyone saying it is easy but to me it was pretty hard and I always went negative. What cod would you compare the quickscoping too?

On PS4 but here's my thoughts.

1) Agree. I prefer close quarters, fast paced TDM so this works for me.

2) Disagree. UAV was easy up, easy down. Molotov cocktails were great the first weekend, they gave you 2 instead of 1. Strafing run was over too quick for my taste but probably better that way. Flamethrower was overpowered - short burst kills and it persisted after death.

4) Agree. I started with that class and quickly worked my way through all three guns. Incendiary Shells and longer distance helped dropped people quick, especially with the last one.

It should be impossible, not easy or hard.

No scoping is the tarding of COD.

UAV in WWII?

Did it seem out of place in the game? Sounds funny to me
