So is the beta open to everyone (no code needed) starting tomorrow (24th)? Can you pre-download it to be ready for tomorrow?

Normally I would just check but I don't have my consoles with me.

I had a code to activate the download and then a code to play on the X itself..

if that helps


Yeah. That would explain why I couldn't play, but I didn't receive a code at all. I purchased it, it popped up in battle.net browser and allowed me to install the beta. The full game, obviously, isn't allowed to install yet, but the beta is. I logged out, back in, uninstalled and reinstalled, still nothing. I'll shoot an email off to them today.

ETA: Blizzard say if you preorder through Battle.net, you don't need a code. Its automatically in your account, which is what it looks like. But still say unable to play yet. I did send an email so I'll see what they say.

I was having issues downloading the beta on series X yesterday. Kept saying go through the store to load it up, but then sending me back to home screen saying it wasn't installed. All i had to do was load into warzone, click access the beta on that home screen, which then redirected me to download the beta and its worked ever since.

I think it's fully open from the 24th to the 26th without any code

Holy crap dude. I loaded warzone and the MWII beta became playable. I grant you 1 million upvotes.

I'm struggling. I can't get feel for the hit detection, the time to kill isn't what I'm used to (i'm pulling off the trigger before they die), and the maps have so many hiding spots.

In fairness, its just stuff I need to get used to but i'm getting run over. It just doesn't feel good, yet.

Here's what helped me overcome that... Adjust your FOV constantly until you get to the one that feels best. I think I settled on 115. Then, mess around with Affected vs Independent, but make sure you also try the wide/default/narrow options under affected. Early on, I could barely see shite through my reticle when firing while ADS and barely hit shots before I was dead, especially with iron sights. After playing a few more games with Affected FOV and going through each option, wide/default/narrow, I settled on default I believe. Once you can see targets clearly through your reticle or scope, the hit detection will drastically improve.

If you're on controller, I can't help you there, but fine tuning your aim settings is a must.

Also turning off weapon motion blur, film grain, depth of field are very helpful too.

Everything else will fall in place after you've played more. You'll get a better feel for spawns and where people tend to rat it up, etc.

I'm really impressed with it. Played on PC and Xbox Series X and in both instances it looks great.

Maybe it's just me but movement feels a bit sluggish but not terrible. Took some getting used to.

At first I thought it was pretty good. But the more I play the less I like it. It's just not fun. Cancelled my preorder.

Honest question, but why?

Invasion might only be good for long shot medal farming for camos.

I played with a bunch of settings and got to a point where I was somewhat competitive. I don't know if it was the setting or just time in the game. Vanguard has a completely different feel than this one. I don't know if I am completely ok with it yet but I look forward to getting different maps. I'm not a fan of the hotel.

Has to be the worst map in the rotation. Museum is OK. Farm 18 and Market are pretty good.

Played about 3 hours today. Had quite a bit of fun with the exception being small amount of input lag when ADSing. Dunking on kids half my age was still pretty fun, but definitely got my shite pushed in a few times by some sweaty yutes.

Heard some raging into the mic right after the kill. That was fun.

But mostly....

This has the risk of being “Old man yells at cloud” but the UI is such a turn off. I don’t know a damn thing about the weapons and it seems like everything is hidden and multiple clicks away. Couldn’t even tell when my friend was online and inviting me.

Plus being locked in the default load outs and only having the M4 and the 74u after about 2 hours of playing is frustrating.
