Nostalgia is a hell of a drug until the effects wear off.

It definitely plays a lot closer to OG Warzone than any other era of it. I’m having a blast.

Hopped on last night for the first time in years and random squad finished 1st ..We stuck together for another few hours, hitting about .750 w/l....was fun, didn't feel like cheats were just wasting people and it was oddly a breathe of fresh air from run and gun CoD

My only complaint really is the TTK seems very low. There have been numerous times I got evaporated like I was playing multiplayer, even though I was fully plated.

They obviously designed this release for players to value their lives way more. But I hope they bump up the TTK.

We had a blast last night. I'm gonna be honest with yall, it feels really good. Movement feels about right with the speed nerfs, the map looks great, and I like almost all the changes they've implemented

There are actual stakes to your decisions now. No redeploy drones to save you on a bad rotation, no constant influx of cash for you to pull off constant buybacks, no gulag kits and flares, far less plates. I've had to adjust my push push push approach and will have to continue tweaking to account for these changes and scarcity of resources. High ground is also as important as ever thanks to the lack of vertical mobility options

If I'd change anything, I would bolster the cash drops just a hair (I 100% think this will happen because people will be mad about spectating so long as their friends look for 5 minutes trying to get the cash) and I would raise TTK a bit. It seemed a little too fast and there were guys I mowed down and thought "it shouldnt be that instant."

This pretty much sums up how I felt last night. It feels perfect - with the exception of the TTK and cash/plates. Every loot box should have at least $100-$500 in it and 1 plate. But that's a small gripe. Like you said, the strategy was back to late 2020 feel, we were running contracts, actually rotating, etc.. Running up 10 flight of stairs again was wild but I liked it. Minimal complaints and I'm actually shocked it ran as well as it did on day 1.

That's awesome. My buddy started laughing when I said it because he was thinking the same thing. We were at the hotel near Array.

I am very pleasantly surprised so far with how well the release has been, and I'm having a very good time!

My main two issues are the TTK is WAY too low, and there is a very noticeable issue with chests dropping/ground loot being the same gun in specific areas.

Either the TTK is too low, or there are some guns/attachments that are way too overpowered. I got absolutely obliterated a couple of times by one enemy almost instantaneously while fully plated. Not even team-shot. I couldn't tell what weapon they were using, but I died instantly. Barely got to even see the damage direction indicators before I was dead.

Then, I've noticed that all of the chests in a certain area all drop the same weapon, but different variations. Say I land at the warehouse next to hospital and open 5 chests. Every single gun that pops out is a Kar, ranging from green to purple. Or if I land in promenade, all of the ground loot guns in a confined area are all shotguns. A couple buildings over, they are all LMG's, etc.

Then, not an issue with the game so much as my luck I guess, but 3 out of 5 games I've random queued in trios or quads, I've been the only person on my team when we go to drop. That's quite annoying. They don't even quit after they die and lose gulag, they just don't make it to the lobby after the pre-game lobby.

Other than that, I haven't had an issue with any hackers so far, the map does look nice with the updates, and my .85KD arse (on a GOOD day) is happy!

I assume the roof access zip lines currently are not in the game? Like the ones at Superstore?

Yeah I don’t believe there are any zips. But you can see where they set them up. There’s platforms without any rope attached.

If they actually have kicked the cheaters I might have to fire it back up after years.

Find this the best the best version of Warzone since….OG verdansk. Shocker.

Needs more money to loot or drop the cost of loadouts to like $6-$7k. Either works.

Get better ground loot.

Other than that. I’m Gucci.

It’s been fun. Snipers galore tho with TTK being a bit too short and there being no plates, but I get they want to give the casuals some fun

Regardless it feels like we’re finally back at a good place with Warzone. Good foundation to build off of. Will they frick it up again tho
