@Just_Caffrey So idk if you know this, but this is a thing called a video game, where you play on a couch or chair and only move your eyes/fingers. The whole thing is a participation trophy. It’s not a sport. Some people want PvP, some don’t. And in cod there’s already tons of PvP options.

[Colin Hess @cjhess98]

PVE DMZ would essentially be Far Cry in a COD engine, and that’d be pretty neat honestly. IMO, the PVP feels like an added mode on top of a PVP game. Especially running solo, the PvP is an annoyance rather than a core mechanic. 98% of the gameplay is PvE.

[Colin Hess @cjhess98]

@TFG212 I say make the story missions PvE and leave the rest as is. You can still run around and loot, and have a smaller but adequate sandbox without pvp, but the core game remains pvpve. PvP heads will get warzone updated in a couple weeks and then they’ll be happy again. Or not. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Colin Hess @cjhess98]

I think the PvP in DMZ is going to calm down once the bounty system updates. There’s built in consequences to camping exfils/objectives for player kills. That being said, I think a good compromise would be to make the story missions solely PvE.

@milsim020 It’s really not that big of a deal. I take more issue with the team building algorithm and how it averages skill to split teams (mean vs median) but sbmm itself is only bad when it overcorrects after a good match.

[Colin Hess @cjhess98]

@RecordsNK_ Yeah I lost both my operators and my good kit doing the fourth story mission. Second round through I realized it’s just not really feasible solo, wish I would’ve known and not wasted my good stuff.

[Colin Hess @cjhess98]

@GHBSmith Thank god someone finally gave actual numbers. Now I know what I can sell off 😂

[Colin Hess @cjhess98]

@CallofDuty @InfinityWard someone should look into adding an option to abort mission in DMZ, essentially leave the DMZ and retain your operator/loadout as if you hadn’t deployed in the first place. The cost for needing to get off the game for IRL obligations shouldn’t be so high.

[Colin Hess @cjhess98]

I get losing loot/loadout is the whole risk/reward point of extraction shooters, but if a story mission requires a squad then SAY THAT so I don’t waste my kit on an impossible solo mission.

[Colin Hess @cjhess98]

Man DMZ is pretty cool, but I lost both my operators trying to run story missions solo. Are they not tuned back for solos? Pretty frustrating honestly. All my good gear is gone. Now I gotta spend 6 hours to get it all back. Fml @InfinityWard @CallofDuty

[Colin Hess @cjhess98]

@AutismCapital I’ve held for quite some time that tick and mosquitoes are unworthy of continuing existence, a rare case where annoyance meets directly with public health concerns. Eradication is a suitable solution, especially one that doesn’t require pesticides as outlined in the order.

[Colin Hess @cjhess98]

@TheProjectUnity Whatever caused this, it happened in the early 2000’s because I distinctly remember drawing one around thanksgiving in either kindergarten or first grade, and being looked at funny when I said it looked like the underwear sign. It was also how I learned cornucopia.

[Colin Hess @cjhess98]

@CODPersonal So. Much. Glorious. Data.

[Colin Hess @cjhess98]

@patdennis I did the same, worked wonders for our household

[Colin Hess @cjhess98]

@SurplusCovey I’m genuinely impressed. Is it blue painters tap or duck tape?

[Colin Hess @cjhess98]

@ItsAdrin Sbmm itself isn’t bad, but at the upper skill levels COD’s particular flavor of it sucks. Just starting out I think I would’ve never played more than a few games if it weren’t for sbmm. So I get it for newbies, but regular matches shouldn’t feel like ranked once you’re decent

[Colin Hess @cjhess98]

@tdawgsmitty @InfinityWard @CallofDuty I’m in favor of overhauling the sbmm algorithm, I don’t think open matchmaking is THE answer. It’s AN answer. A more nuanced/smarter algorithm would help keep matches from feeling inconsistent. Having an open playlist alongside sbmm splits the players and doesn’t help much imo

[Colin Hess @cjhess98]

@MattCoze Intrigued

[Colin Hess @cjhess98]

@Elgoomtaf I agree a third weekend would go a long way towards reducing the adjustments that will inevitably have to happen after launch. I’d like to see BR on the Warzone side to get a feel for large map engagements and how the movement flows on big maps as well. More data is a good thing!
