Got two 5th places tonight. Was the only one left in one. Killed a few then got flanked with my back against the gas. Really difficult to avoid that on your own.
Yeah. We drop straight onto scavenger hunts. Do them and loot at the same time, usually gets you enough for loadouts and kill streaks. Then do more scavengers to get money for revives or bringing team mates back.I like looting like mad with the squad in the first few minutes and straight away buying a load out, before running around trying to locate squads . You can always play it safe when you come out of the Goulag. Think I’ve had about 5 wins this week but only ever on quads or trios. I am terriible at solos.
I saw the statements regarding no SBMM before they released the game. This has obviously changed. I'm glad they have it personally, as this makes for an even playing field, but they should just state it instead of playacting like it is not implemented in the game... And maybe state the standard deviation/variance columns used when creating lobbies regarding KD/score per min or other quantitative skill sort elements...I know. I’m just saying what they’ve said. IW have admitted to sbmm in Multiplayer because Activision force it. But they put the announcement out that Warzone didn’t have it.
I assume part of the reason is so people don’t reverse boost? Even though it’s that aggressive in multiplayer it feels like it’s doing that for you at times.I saw the statements regarding no SBMM before they released the game. This has obviously changed.

Yeah there’s definitely SBMM for sure in Warzone. My KD is 1.5 and there’s a massive difference to the lobbies from when I play solos vs playing squads with my mates who have KD’s of 0.6 - 1.0They’ve said there’s no matchmaking in Warzone. It’s aggressive as feck in Multiplayer though.
A lot of youtubers/twitch streams have recommended this method in the past few weeks so I’m not so sure if it’s the best method now. If you notice a lot of people land at the recon flags now so you’re almost always going into fights from the start. I’m having better luck with just landing in the circle and just doing bounty’s.Normally I grab a decent set of weapons then do 3or 4 recons. Find the best area for the centre and dig in. Nothing worse being at a bad disadvantage in the final circle
Guess you're right. Hate doing bounties to be honest.. No point asking for trouble as it can easily go bad and 70% of the time, it does.A lot of youtubers/twitch streams have recommended this method in the past few weeks so I’m not so sure if it’s the best method now.

I'm not sure about matchmaking when playing teams... Average of the group maybe?I assume part of the reason is so people don’t reverse boost? Even though it’s that aggressive in multiplayer it feels like it’s doing that for you at times.
The problem I have with it is I play with mates most of the time, who vary from almost as good as me to shite, so I do well with them (not gloating, we’re just casuals). If I want a game on my own though it can be a nightmare one day then ok the next, presumably because it’s basing my matchmaking off how well I’m doing with them, then aggressively changing it so I do well again, before changing again and fecking me over.
I don’t have the solution but I feel like there must be a better way, even if it’s just a more complex version of what they’re doing already (separating your matchmaking stats on your own vs in a party would be a start I think).
Seems to vary heavily day to day to me, and slightly less heavily based on recent games. I could them doing this as people will think they’re just having a bad day, but it seems like more than that I think.I'm not sure about matchmaking when playing teams... Average of the group maybe?
It seems the matchmaking is heavily weighted on recent performances. 5-10 last games. So if you play against competent players for 5 games, then you will have a lower "form" and be put in an easier lobby. Then when you perform well you will play in a good lobby and the cycle repeats. This structure makes it perfect for short term boosting... So maybe change the timeframe or weighting of the "form" element.
Absolutely. We try and make sure we all have one which is one reason we do the scavenger contracts as you get one in each yellow crate.Gas masks are a priority now.
Yeah we’ve been doing more scavs. Didn’t clock there was one in every crate though.Absolutely. We try and make sure we all have one which is one reason we do the scavenger contracts as you get one in each yellow crate.
UAV is more useful. I usually only use it at the start or very late in the game. Least that way I'll have a better chance of survival in the final bit.Yeah we’ve been doing more scavs. Didn’t clock there was one in every crate though.
What’s your thoughts on UAVs? Worth buying or better off with a hb sensor and buying an air strike or something?
If I’m on with my workmates then one buys a uav and another air strike and another usually has a HB sensor, all useful I reckon.Yeah we’ve been doing more scavs. Didn’t clock there was one in every crate though.

Nice. We don't have much luck with airstrikes. I like the idea of running into a building you know a team is on top of and pointing it at the ceiling, but not had the opportunity yet.If I’m on with my workmates then one buys a uav and another air strike and another usually has a HB sensor, all useful I reckon.
we can get to top 10 regular, top 5 fairly regular, then there’s a dollop of luck I reckon ... that’s my excuse anyway
Personally though, I love air strikes. Dead satisfying. Was getting tracked by another team, we were on a skyscraper and could see them coming up the stairs. We parachuted off at the last minute, ran up a hill opposite and air struck them all. Wicked bit of play.
You talking about Modern Warfare or your missus?Haven’t touched this since I got a Switch. Going to get destroyed when I play again.
If there is matchmaking in Warzone then k/d is surely meaningless?30GB update out today.
I'm struggling to keep my Kill ratio above 1, it's sitting right on it at the moment. But I checked the online stats and that has me in the bottom 40%! Here was me thinking I was good at the game
Some games I get 5, even 10+ kills but then others I just get absolutely demolished both in normal and the gulag, guys just one-shotting me before I can even shoot at them.
We got to the final circles a few times last night. Think gas masks and self-revive are invaluable at that point, but a lot of it is pot luck with whether you have any cover on your way in. One of the games still had 14 people in the tiny last circle, was pure madness. We finished 4th despite having 28 kills between us!
Another 17ish gb once you log onIf there is matchmaking in Warzone then k/d is surely meaningless?
The update for me is only 13GB by the way?
Maybe it's bigger on PC.If there is matchmaking in Warzone then k/d is surely meaningless?

Cheers for that I'll boot it up now and get that bit doneAnother 17ish gb once you log on

Yeah had to install another thing after it. LoooonnggggAnother 17ish gb once you log on
Quads is absolutely mental the best of times, you need far more guile compared to trios, where you get away with a lot more.Got my highest kills so far last night with 11 in a squads game, but my team got wiped 3 times with me bringing them back, and eventually ran into a squad of 4 whilst I was searching around to get them back.
It's the new update, expect to download a similar size file every 3 or so weeksFeck sake how many times do I have to download this thing? Downloaded warzone the other day which took forever, followed by a version update. Bought the full game today and the add on installations was only half an hour and now to play multiplayer I have to download a 18.4 GB data pack??
The lag in the servers tonight has been atrocious.Anyone find matchmaking difficult since the update? Unbearable in multiplayer
Yep takes a bit to get a game on warzone.Anyone find matchmaking difficult since the update? Unbearable in multiplayer
Hacker!Decent win
