Top tip for rinsing XP, especially while it's double weekend. Throw decoy grenades on the Rust/Shipment only mode. Can end up with 3k more points than anyone else easy from assists, even though you'll probably not get as many kills. Still managed to get 70 odd kills a few times though.

Anybody want to be a third with me and a mate? Better than a random! On now for the next hour or two.

Perfect time for my Xbox one X to have HDMI port issues :( I can hear it boot up and games load in my headset but no signal picked up by any tv I have - plus cable swaps and endless reboots.

Out of warranty, so might just pick up a One S all digital version as it looks like it will cost similar to fix including postage and all that. Especially has I have the Series X preordered anyway.

No Warzone for a good few days, nightmare.
Late reply but I had the same issue on my xbox one x too. Its the hdmi ic timer chip which can be repaired for about 50 quid or at Home if you know how to solder.

Personally I bought a new one X from John Lewis as I don't see many repair shops opening anytime soon.

If you really fancy some xbox though there is a way to stream to your laptop using Windows 10 companion app.

Imo they should remove loadouts from the game. Makes it an unlevel playing field. Removes Ghost also. I also wish you could just play console players aswell rather than having PC players in the lobby also. They have an advantage with movement and speed of aiming. It’s a nice option to have to have crossplay but it shouldn’t be forced.

You can switch crossplay off but whenever i do it never gets a lobby going and it keeps recommending you switch crossplay on. I don’t mind the loadouts but i agree.

Crossplay usually only matches you with people using a controller on pc. They can still have graphical advantages I imagine though. You can turn it off.

Just noticed they released MW2 Remastered, but it's only campaign, not multiplayer.
How utterly useless is that?????????

ya, found a guy who will do it for around €80, sent it off early in the week so it’s on the mend!!

definitely the hdmi chip. I did stream it to my laptop using OneCast, transferred all my games to my external HD, tried a system reset to as a last resort to see if it was hardware related but still nothing.

got a loan of an Xbox then so that will keep me going until my One X comes back :drool:

Ahh right, I must’ve read it wrong. I thought you had it have it on. I’ll check it out next time I’m on.

Can anyone help on this. I downloaded Warzone before I purchased the actual game. It has given me a made up gamer tag and now I have the full game it hasn’t switched back to my PlayStation gamer tag. Does anyone know how to revert this?

I think you can change it on the Activision website. You sign up there and link it to your ps4 gamertag

No Spec ops either. You're paying 25 quid for better graphics and a 6 hour story with no replayabilty. I actually just started playing MW2 on the xbox backwards compatibility. Way cheaper and actually people still playing the multiplayer. Seems more rigid to move then I remembered.

Using the Kar98K with the flip sight. If you can keep the hits to the chest and head, it's a beast. Love it.
Also the M4A1 with the burst setting, and 10 round clip. Mwuah!

Feet up at home.
I'm on the PC and logged in tonight to have a go at this after dowloading it last week and there is a huge update going on - won't get on tonight now.

New season out today. Put a tenner in it since I didn’t in the last one. So you buy Alex and yet they completely cover him up so you can’t see his face and can only unlock it if you hit level 100. Wow, does Activision never stop trying to be scummy Aholes. Also dislike that they get rid of the teams of three instead of keeping them. Really want a Hardcore mode for Warzone.

The trios should be in the section called "playslists"

I thought they had taken out solos last week but they just moved it in there.

Edit: I just logged on and realised they've removed the playlist section too so looks like it's gone for now.

Backlot is tough when you’re not used to it. Still great for a random grenade at the start.

The matching has changed, I swear. Feels almost unplayable on my own where I could still do decent most the time before. Just went 2-18 which has never happened :lol:
Usually at least around 20 kills, at worst breaking even, even on my own. Got 133 kills in a game the day before the update. I know matching works like that in a way but the switch has been noticeable in my opinion.

Need my shite mates back on.

Played Domination on the Shipment map, it was absolute hilarious carnage :lol: So small, majority of the time you either get enemies spawning right behind you - or you behind them. Laughed the whole way through - first CoD I've enjoyed in years.

Yeah I noticed the matchmaking has been weird. Had several games yesterday where I could barely get 10 kills and about 25 deaths. Never happened to me before this update. I usually get more kills then deaths. Still love shipment. Got 87 kills as my most 2 days ago. Mental. Just keep getting Rust in that stupid playlist thing. Kinda dislike the new maps and backlot. I guess they are never going to bring in any of my favourites. I wish Terminal got more love.

Yeah some people hate it but it’s a good laugh I think. Always have a loadout ready for it to level a gun up quickly.

I’m struggling with backlot. Dunno if it’s just because I’m learning the map again but I never seem to be looking in the right direction.

Feels like people could be anywhere rather than 3 lanes facing each other.

Me too. They shifted a couple of windows around slightly but I can’t get my head round it. One of the most familiar maps and I got whupped and as you say, always seemed to be facing the wrong way. Best get some more practice in, clearly not spending enough time on it, although I’m sure my Mrs would disagree :lol:

I love that end circle tension, when a game gets you going like that you know it must be good.
Then you’re a bloody weirdo dude :lol:

I love it but also hate it. Literally feel inches away from some sort of aneurysm.

but yeah, you’re right. I haven’t stopped playing this game since I bought it. I don’t get chance to play all the time but when I do it’s this. And it just keeps getting bigger and better. Especially warzone with a good squad.

Getting gold guns has screwed me. Mounted kills! I can’t stop though. Even though my kill to death ratio has taken a proper hammering.

Yeah me and a couple of mates have been running it every night on 3 man squads. The change to 4 has screwed us as we never have a 4th

Shipment is good for high kills. Rust and Killhouse can be good harvests too.

Shipment is where I got 133. Normally somewhere between 50 and 90 though. Rust probably between 30 and 80. I’ve found running round the edge doing laps and never stopping to be fairly successful.

Yep. Same. Usually end up with a silent rogue 4th.

if I ever play with other people I do at least try and join in even if they’re in a private party.

My team always go full stupid everytime we are in the last 10. literally just 1 other team left and just 2 of us are left in the team. What does he decide to do? Climb up the tower in the centre in a small ass circle. Like HOW are they not going to see your dumbass climb up a tall ass tower where theres no where else to look. Haven't won a game of Warzone in AGES.
