News - Does It Suck. Honest Impressions Of Mw3's Multiplayer. Warzone 2i Beta
You know it's difficult it's stressful, especially as a content creator so when I say that you know weapon balance doesn't feel great right now that might be user error that might just come down to me personally not being good with certain weapons that may be part of it as well again very early First Impressions, but the weapon balance with the time to heal does not feel amazing right now but we're going to see we have a lot more beta ahead of us on top of that I think the new cre class system is really unique and interesting this is the Highlight I think of Modern Warfare 3 for me so far, this new system is in a lot of ways familiar but it's also very new combat vest along with the gloves and the boots and the gear I mean you can come up with some crazy combinations and setups, and the perks in this game do feel a lot stronger and more impactful.
Than what we had during the most recent Modern Warfare 2 I feel like the perks of Modern Warfare 2 just were not that impactful really I mean you only had a handful of them you had to earn them throughout a match even then the only ones you had weren't even that great really, the perks in this game feel a lot better they really do and the combat vest the UI definitely needs some work I know we're working with basically the same Bui from Modern Warfare 2 but just looking at the combat vest here like there's nothing on the engineer combat vest that tells you that you get two pieces of gear, and two pieces of tactical equipment and no lethal equipment it just doesn't tell you that you have to actually look at your class and like watch it change and go.
Okay, well, that's interesting, so then what does this do? For some reason, this combat means your character isn't allowed to wear boots. I guess he's running around Barefoot. I don't know, but I think the system is very unique. I can't wait to see all the combat vests as well as all the pieces of gear, all the gloves, all the boots, and all that.
I'm excited to see how that's going to work. I feel like this is kind of a throwback, almost to what we had during Call of Duty World War II and in COD World War II with the division system, especially after the overhaul. There were a lot of really fun and interesting combinations that you could come up with to make yourself stand out, make yourself feel unique, and most importantly, make yourself feel powerful for whatever play style you were trying to implement.
Obviously, the system is a little bit different than what we had back during World War II, but they're similar in the sense that they're traditional. I need to improve. I have such a hard time such a hard time not only seeing enemy players, mind you, I'm playing on a PS5. You know, I'm playing on a pretty powerful console, right?
It's not as powerful as a top-end PC or anything, but it's a pretty damn good console. I'm yet to see any of that I'm really yet to see that like it's hard to pick out targets I think at a distance, and friendly players look very similar as well I mean at the same time you have so many I show some examples here, so often I shoot at my teammates so often my teammates shoot at me even with a working functioning mini map you know we're still shooting at each other because we look incredibly similar to the enemy team and we blend in and footsteps are incredibly loud which I'll be talking about that in a moment so a couple things they could do is I suggest that they should make friendly name plates larger, right now it's similar to what we had in Modern Warfare 2 but they're just it's tiny.
Right, they need to make, like the dots above the players heads, a little bit bigger and a little bit brighter. Maybe, have you known, larger text for the names themselves or something like that? Maybe give us options in the UI or in the interface section of the game where we can choose the size of that stuff so players can adjust it to their liking as compared to forcing one particular system upon everybody.
I think that would be a very good idea to give players the choice to change around things like that and also give players the option. And I'm going to just play the game audio. And you tell me whether or not you think that's a friend behind you or not. Enemy, on your. Six you guys hear what I mean here?
I'm also using a perk. Mind you, there is a perk, or rather a piece of gear, in this game that is going to help you differentiate, like friendly footsteps from enemy footsteps. It's kind of like sitre Pro or amplify, from previous Cod ties where it increased the volume of enemy footsteps, and it's supposed to supposedly drown out friendly footsteps, but what you guys just heard is that's me using that perk.
My friendly footsteps are so loud my footsteps are so loud and it is a cruel joke that the covert sneaky sneakers that are basically the return of Ninja or Dead Silence are in the beta, but you have to be level 22 to use them, and we're only level 20 in the game right now; that's our max level. They're going to increase the max level.
We know that's coming, but right now, so badly, I want to test out the game with actual dead silence, you know, but we can't do that unless we use the default Striker Ump 45 class. But who wants to use the same default class over and over just so they have silent footsteps? So I definitely think footsteps need to be adjusted.
Friendly footsteps need to be quieter; hell, enemy footsteps might need to be a little bit quieter, because especially on maps like Skid Row, where you just hear everyone stomping around like an elephant, it's pretty crazy, but again, things will be different once people have access to the sneaky sneakers.
I think that's going to make things better, but right now it does not feel very good. I think there's a lot of things they can do and a lot of things they can change to kind of differentiate friends from foes and just make players stand out a little bit more, and I think they're going to address that because Sledgehammer Games is historically very good at working with the community until they go on their two-month long vacation post launch, but right now this time of year, especially with the initial launch of the game, they are very good at listening to the community and taking player feedback, and one of the biggest points of feedback that I've been seeing is that we can't see.
It's really hard to see in this game, so we'll see what they do. I suppose I think there are a lot of options that they have, and I think they should give some of those OP options to the player base and to the community, giving us interface options that will allow us to choose. There are different things about how enemies may look or how friendly players may look in terms of UI.
