Current Events > Finally playing Modern Warfare II, borrowed it from my local library

(+) Yeah! (+)

My thoughts:

Not being able to see your K/D ratio in game is ridiculous, only MW 2019 and this one does that. No other COD game doesn't allow you to see your K/D during the game. Having to more or less track your own deaths is stupid.

The battle pass is silly, yeah you can earn tokens to unlock free stuff from the battle pass but you have to spend 5 tokens only to get 1 free item from each section.

I see The Shredder is being added which is cool but also random, can't believe Viacom/Nickelodeon agreed to it but still cool.

No option to turn off crossplay for Xbox users which is ridiculous, MW 2019 allows it I think and Playstation users have the option.

Maps are way too big for a 6v6, maybe they're better in a 10v10 but not for a 6v6.

The perk system could be better, closer to what Cold War has.

Also, $80 for Ghost,Soap,Price and Farah is a lot for 4 operators.

It's not bad but I'm not impressed with it and certainly wouldn't spend $70 for it.

I will just stick to Cold War because it feels like the better game.

Must be two separate teams working on Black Ops entries and MW entries because of the glaring differences like no in game K/D tracking.

Everything you mentioned is legit. I play the game almost daily on Series S.

They introduced a 10v10 Playlist a couple weeks ago and after spending time in that 6v6 feels too slow. It's only a temporary playlist tho, hopefully it sticks around for awhile

Cold War isn't without its flaws but I don't blame you for wanting to stick with it. I played the CRAP out of it when it was the most recent CoD so im just too burnt out. I think it's better than MWII

The library has video games now?

you can see k/d in game, it has extensive stat tracking for every weapon

I think he means on the scoreboard. No way to see your deaths in the middle of a match unless you equip a gun screen thingy that displays deaths.

I think they want players to stop caring about their K/D. Which they should, people chasing K/D often leads to more camping, particularly annoying in objective modes. Its not like K/D matters anymore anyway, with how strong the SBMM is.

I only tried getting a game from the library once and the disc was so scratched that it was unplayable.

This was my first thought as well.

CW definitely has its flaws but I'd say it has less flaws than MWII does.

You can't see your K/D mid match like you can for every other CoD game besides Modern Warfare.

I can see my K/D mid match in BO2,BO4,Ghosts and Cold War by pressing the select/back button.

If they wanted players to stop caring about K/D then they wouldn't have it readily available mid match in other CoD games. MW19 and this one are the only 2 that I know of that doesn't allow you to see your K/D mid match.

It's stupid when other games allow you to see it mid match.

Yes, at least mine does. I've made a topic about borrowing games from the library before.

I'm pretty sure it's a sequel to 2019 Modern Warfare which had very little to do with the original Modern Warfare except for a few characters.

It's like spiritual successors but not remakes or anything like that.
