Can't avoid talking about it: CoD MW2 beta...
So, I decided to try out the MW2 beta... Last CoD I played was Black Ops II or Modern Warfare 3, whichever came out last but whatever... And tried the game mode invasion... It actually felt like a B...

And tried the game mode invasion... It actually felt like a BF game, although with dumbed down vehicle gameplay... The other modes are okay too, but invasion was really nice.
Few things to mention:
- Map design: It's good. Buildings with actual layouts and furniture (not just 2 pots of paint and a ladder inside). The map flow was decent too, plenty of options and constantly shifting
- Gun-play: Very solid, recoil feedback a bit much but at least all the scopes are functional and varied. In BF2042 it feels like you're gimping yourself using anything other than fusion holo and the impact attachments make seems inadequate.
- Graphics: Pretty good, obviously no serious destruction but eh, don't have that in BF2042 either tbh. I do like the overall feel of the soldiers and maps.
- Customisation: plenty to do, operator skins seemed a bit "meh" but maybe because it's beta? Gunsmith is great, lots of options to mess around with.
- Balance: seems okay so far. Haven't had any "wth, how?" moments like I frequently have in BF2042
- Menu/UI: Guess they hired the guy who did the original UI for BF2042 because it's awfull. Way too much unecesarry stuff...
- Sound: OMG yes. So good. Makes the pea-shooter sounds from BF2042 laughable...
So that's my small take on MW2 beta. Enjoying it more than BF2042 but might be because it's new... Plus kinda have to play this game because I paid for the season passes... aaaanyways, I might probably switch to COD after all this time because BF-series has let me down one too many times...
I didn’t really like it. Too many bots and these aren’t bots like in this game where they’re placeholders for human players. Vehicle gameplay being meh just makes it worse since the appeal of BF to me is that it’s vehicle focused.
- @CPT_GASLIGHT dont like it either, feels cheap
played it as well but unistalled the same evening again.
First I played the 6V6 dom first round was good, 2nd one as well but then SBMM kicked in full force and I found myself as low level against high level sweats.
I also played the ground war mode but have to say it felt like a dumbed down BF experience. No teamwork the capture zone barely had any cover, and the sprint duration is way to short for the distances to travel basicly making you a sitting everytime you cross a field.
And people incl Youtuber saying COD fired shots on BF is just lol. Just because there is a hugh map and 64 with some vehicles doesn't bring it anywhere near BF.
Although I like the fact that you don't get spotted when not using a silencer is a really great gameplay decision I wish to see in Battlefield again.
Back in Battlefield 2 days there was only manual spotting by the commander or teammaters ( ah the good old radion chatter spam made you really feel like a soldier) and the uav by the commander. Imo I think BF:V found a good compromise and I hope they bring it back.
Regarding I won't buy simply because of the strict SBMM, I only get 2 or max 3 hours an evening to play, after work and gym I don't need to further sweat on my pc.
I thought it was rather enjoyable and was infinitely more polished than 2042 will ever be!
