Warzone: What are your initial thoughts?
By: STABBOTAGE Date: March 13, 2020, 1:31 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
As far as BR modes go, I like this one. I have not liked other
ones I have tried.
Initial pros and cons from my limited perspective (28 games)
+I like how you can come back into the game 3 different ways
(revive, release from gulag, buy-back).
+I like the looting (no searching through satchels like on
Battlefield's Firestorm).
+I like being able to get my custom loadout through a few
different ways. (I can purchase a drop from a paystation;
squadmate can buy loadout-drop, so we all get it; random drops
between rival groups).
+I like how there is plenty of loot scattered about.
+I am finding myself wanting to play WZ more than MW at the
moment.
-There is nothing exclusive or special for winning the whole
thing. (Calling card? Emblem? Blueprint? Charm? Outfit?
ANYTHING?)
-There should be a commendation for wins and top-ten placements.
-I don't like cross-play being mandatory
-I don't like when they don't fill your squad, so you only start
out with 2, when most everyone else has 3.
-I don't like when randos quit after not making it out of gulag,
especially when I have money to repurchase them.
-I don't like when I buy a rando back, and then he doesn't stick
with me, but wanders off and dies quickly.
-I don't like when people do not reciprocate and buy me back,
after I have either revived them or bought them back.
-I don't like the practice parachuting before lobbies fill (but
whatever.. at least the kills count for XP)

So far I've enjoyed it.
No noticeable lag. Even playing with
[member=17]STABBOTAGE[/member].
My best finish so far 4th. No kills
Shortly after my best game. 20th solo. With 4 kills solo.
Teammates gone after landing
If I had played mw more it might be easier. Still getting used
to the colours, weapons, damage outputs
Sometimes a hard time spotting people.
The load out drop. Well if you don't play regular MP it's hars
to set the up. Slow progress on the weapons. So no attachments.
Lmg's reloading takes forever.
The gulag and redeployment are great.
Annoying things.
Colours it seems blend in some areas.
Squad mates that don't play together.
Got the feet that some area's have more so than others.
Might be the colours of the lootboxes.

I have played it only 2 times, with
[member=17]STABBOTAGE[/member] showing me around. The graphics
look IMPRESSIVELY good in an Xbox One X with a 4K TV. Although
linked to MW in many aspects it feels like a whole different
game to me. Lots to learn. No dislikes so far due to the amount
of games played. I will likely play it more after the 2XWXP
events currently on ends.

yeah I had a lot of fun playing with you for that brief time.
We made 14th, so that's pretty good.
I feel you on the 'no custom loadout' yet because you are
probably better off with looting a weapon with attachments than
swapping for a loadout.
It is indeed very immersive. One thing that takes getting used
to is how things can escalate from 10 minutes of boredom/looting
to suddenly there are 3 baddies in front of you.

My last game was like that.
Dropped in killed with pistol. Got a shotty 2 other kills.
Think same squad. A long time no body. Got killed won gulag than
one kill again.
Long time nobody. Than a full squad again. Got killed and lost
Was the solo game.
But most surprised about the amount of lag. As I didn't notice.
And that also when playing across the pond.
Got hard time seeing if/what attachment are on a gun.
And the it looks like a cod game but doesn't play as a regular
cod game. Far more long range fights.

I played with my oldest nephew a few matches during the weekend.
Although I was the squad leader I was basically following him
his lead. I got a couple of kills, I got off the gulag once, I
revived him a couple of times and bought him out of the gulag
once. It was fun. I think the best we placed was 8th.

Yeah its been a lot of fun.
I need to get a better gulag strategy.
Its great to hear about you playing (and having fun) with
family.
With half the world quarantined, I would imagine an influx of
people dl’ing this free game.
We can squad up again soon, even pick up dtuchie...

Rather than try to determine attachments, its easier to just
rank them according to color. Then after that, by which
weapon-type you prefer. So, for instance, since gold is
“Legendary” it will be fully kitted out with all the toys. It is
also higher in class/color-ranking than purple which is “Epic”.
You can assume it also has 5 attachments/perks on it (some of
which are invisible and cannot be known such as whether or not
it has FMJ etc.)
But since I prefer an SMG as a main, I will drop a golden sniper
rifle in order to carry a purple (lesser color) bizon.
Having said all that, I try to get $6000 early on (first 5
minutes) to buy a weapon drop so I can have my custom loadout.
This is where owning the base game can benefit you; they give
2WeaponXP many weekends and you can play other MW modes like TDM
or FFA, Infected, Groundwar, gunfight, etc., allowing you to
rank up a nice bizon or FAL in one afternoon.
Then when you buy your loadout drop, you know exactly which
attachments and perks you have, even the name of the reticle
because you unlocked it and selected it.
It’s probably on sale too.
I’m not an ACTV fanboy, but in my opinion, taking the fam out to
eat is more expensive than MW. You dont need the battlepass, you
get free weapons (some require a challenge to unlock, but are
free even w/o battlepass) it does offer blueprints of weapons
that may prove useful. For instance, you may get a fully kitted
MK2 Carbine that you could use w/ overkill in Warzone and carry
2 primary weapons. Without the base game, I dont think you can
add perks but I might be wrong about that (dtuch, are you able
to see 3 places to add things like cold-blooded, restock, and
shrapnel?)

Plunder.
Played a couple of matches of plunder.
I like that I can use my custom load outs. Best way of getting
progress on weapons.
So far better team work. At least from one teammate.
Last match one teammate dropped other location got killed and
left.
Depending on location it can be far more action packed than
normal warzone.
It also can be very slow.
I think Iike it better than warzone

Wishlist:
There really needs to be a better way of joining others or
signaling to others that you are willing to squad up for
warzone.
Three or four times a day I finally realize i have an xbox
message asking me to play WZ, but its from 45 mins ago!
Wen i check, that person is playing WZ, so I play a game, and
when they are ready, now I’m not!
Its infuriating. I cant sit for 20 mins and hope they still want
to play.
The easiest solution is to let the person join as a spectator,
then after the game they can pick you up, in the mean time you
can see how many players are left in the match and stay
occupied.
