CoD battleground


Jeremy Igo

Recommended Posts

Just downloaded a few hours ago. This is the first Battle Royale game I've ever played. It was so disorienting at first, because there were so many game modes.

"Okay, I'm already dropping in, cool. Oh poo. The game's over? I didn't even get shot! Wait, what? The game's starting over? Didn't we just do this? So what was I doing before? Okay, here's the game. Oh crap, I'm dead. Wait, I'm not dead, I'm just crawling around. Okay, now I'm dead. Wait, why am I in a prison cell now? I guess I can punch this guy til the game's over. Wait, why did I teleport into this broken down shower room? Holy poo, this guy's shooting at me! Now the game's over? What was it before?"

The first match was like one of those obstacle courses you did in elementary school where you're blindfolded and your classmates are navigating you around to the finish line.

But once you get the hang of it, it's a lot of fun. I'll be putting a lot of hours in on it for sure!

My takes so far.

It's different from other BRs. The ability to buy loadouts, the contracts during the game to make money/get perks to help like knowing future ring locations, the map design, it's all ok-to-good. I don't think the gunplay or movement is on par with Apex Legends, but I do think it's better than say, PUBG.

It's a fun mode. It's pretty arcade-y and thus, more accessible for your casual gamer. The skill ceiling isn't high because it's still CoD at heart and the skill ceiling just has never been THAT high. I'll keep playing it, but I can't play it solo and enjoy myself the way I do Apex Legends, at least to this point.

Audio needs fixing. Gunshots sound close when they're hundreds of meters away, footsteps range from ungodly loud to completely silent and picking up direction/distance is a chore. Idk if the BR has the staying power that Apex or Fortnite or PUBG has. I love Modern Warfare's multiplayer but it's CoD and I've been playing CoD since CoD4 so I am honestly not as hyped about new releases. I doubt this steals too much time from Apex Legends for me personally, but it is nice to have something enjoyable to break up the monotony.

Apex Legends is free and vastly superior to the "REEEEEEEEE" toxic fest known as Call of Duty.

Warzone is free, FYI.

I love Apex, but Warzone has me hooked right now. The fire fights can be really tactical which is a nice change of pace from Apex, which I feel is always fast. I've had fights in a forest, in a pretty optimized downtown setting, in an airport...the locations are fun. I feel like it's really balanced, too.

Definitely recommend playing with a pre-made group. I don't know how long it will keep me, but it's definitely up there with Apex. I think it beats out PUBG, Fortnite, and Battlefield's BR.

I've played a few. can't stand the Gulag system and the ability to buy back a teammate's life. Matches last WAY too long. PUBG is still the goat.

I ended up uninstalling because, well, it's still a BR and BRs really aren't my thing. 

I actually liked the gulag system. The gulag makes it so you don't completely fug yourself if you accidentally swap a weapon you wanted to keep (something I did multiple times - forcing me to backtrack and find the weapon I wanted to keep.) It's strangely satisfying to win those 1v1 battles in the gulag. 

I do agree the matches last way too long. I tried solo out before uninstalling - the matches went much faster. I didn't like that the final circle became a camp fest - final circle with 6 left. If you move, you're fuged.

    • Poverty franchise behavior.  If you don't like him as a 3rd rounder then why'd you draft him there?  As others have said, they likely found out some new information and have buyer's remorse. Our FO didn't give DJ Johnson a hard time for being a bad pick.
    • Best I heard its a clause the bungals want to add. It prevents them form paying the full guaranteed amount if triggered. No one knows the details of the clause, but guesses are it relates to off-field stuff. Stewart is in the right here. Before they signed burrow, chase, and Higgins they were the cheapest team in the league bar none. Unlike tepper or jarrah Jones or any other NFL ownership, all Mike brown owns is the beagals. Every other owner has many other money making businesses, not bungals.  I still remember when Brenston Bunker was starting on WFNZ and he told the story about the beagals telling him to pick a used cup form a huge pile, LOLS! They been on hard knocks and I remember Marvin lewis telling the players not to take home Gatorade bottles........* but in that case, I believe some players were taking a back pack and filling it up with drinks. Still you make millions(around 200million) in net profit and Im sure coke gave the team those bottles, still... Its a 32 team billion business, someone has to the cheapest.....Panthers were around the next cheapest team before tepper bought them and he has POURED millions upon millions into the team. He bought a bubble that Richardson never would, so the team had to gather in a old building during the rain. He spent millions on coofus machines that he just gave away like the bubble. Tepper made that AC trailer a thing. I've trashed him about his concerts and taking away end zone seats from fans. But the guy will spend money any way in efforts to better the team, dang I just remembered the deal he gave Rhule- more than Andy Reid at the time.  I know results have not came, but Id 100% take Tepper over Mike brown as a owner.
    • There's no way they're shipping you some uniform you haven't seen lol.  I feel like they'd just refund you and ask if you wanted the new one when it launched. Probably just making the blues the primary, or a new helmet for a new alternate/variation.
