SBMM is making this game almost unplayable for me. I’m on paternity leave and get in games during the day the time when little man is napping. And I’m too exhausted to play with the LESI crew at night. Half the lobbies i’ve been in today it’s dropshotting, hardscoping, spawn trapping squads of all 55’s in Hardpoint. Can i just play a few rounds mid day without facing youtubers and pro players? is that necessary?

Half the lobbies i get thrown in are the game is half way over with the other team up 100-150+ points because it’s squads against random’s like me

Also, the drill charge should not go off in a room with a trophy system. What’s the point in running a trophy system

This is where i'm at right now. This is admittedly partially on me too. I've not played a COD games in many years. I played modern warfare when it first came out for about a month, but that was about it in over a decade. So, what the play style has become is just not something I have a feel for. I'm still decent at pvp fps so I can get some streaks going at times so i'm sure my lobbies are at least decent. At that point though, still being basically a new COD player from an experience stand point, it is miserable.

The maps I have a big problem with and there are some legit complaints about some aspect of the game. The stuff above is just going to be part of it as it is what the gameplay for COD has become, for better or worse. The SBMM should be toned down some because the stark differences from one lobby to the next if you have one good game is absurd.

Game Setup is grayed out for me.


eta: okay, it just randomly unlocked as i was typing out that message. but no where in the game setup screen are the words "CDL Rules".

Don’t remember the exact words but there’s a standard tab and a call of duty league tab when you hit create private match. Select the CDL tab and then any CDL mode (CDL control, hardpoint, search are the only options)

It’ll take you to the game setup screen with a start match box, codcaster, and something else. Just wait for the start match box to unlock and go to edit calling card. Calling cards unlocked. Works for emblems too.

thought the whole point of the gunsmith tree was that you could use attachments from the previous weapon?

What's bullshite is the entire Lachmann line locked behind a shitty battle rifle.


Also wanted to add something I've learned while playing this game:

If you constantly use tactical sprint, stop. Turn off auto tactical sprint because it takes an excruciatingly long time to get your gun up and you'll lose every gun fight. In fact, it helps to be more methodical in turning corners and your movement on a lot of these maps.

Watch your attachments and be smart, many of them slow down ADS.

While many will say playing on a controller is better due to the absurd aim-assist, I've been playing FPSes on a mouse and keyboard for quite some time. However, I suggest adjusting them to your liking. I prefer the Black Ops setting as it seems to be a bit stronger than the others and keeping the sensitivity higher about 7 or so. Paddles on controllers are a Godsend.

Finally, relax. This isn't a run-and-gun game. Be cool, don't panic, and the killstreaks will come. This game seems to reward more thought behind your gameplay than typical CoD titles.

Just joined another lobby. down 166-14, i leave the spawn and immediately quick scoped by an SPR. yup, gonna go ahead and back out of this one

It's stupid, but the game will often force you to finish a match you joined late to in order to start a fresh one. Canceling the queue between games will sometimes reset the process, but it isn't always predictable.

You're right, it's a marksman rifle/sniper rifle game. I think it's the most quick scoping I've seen on CoD.

I wanted to throw my controller earlier after getting killed by hipfire from an SP-R

I have to say that I did not quite fully realize what a grind this game would be before purchasing.

What i’m asking for is the ttk to be reasonable, so the actual better player wins out. I could GAF about killstreaks, as i primarily run UAV, Counter-UAV, and SAE to help my teammates and ultimately win the match. SPM & W’s >>> K/D IMO.

you’d get that Polyatomic camo quick tho…..
