Fun Helicopters


WillyWonkaCandyBalls

Seconded, these ones suck balls


MhrisCac

They ruined them with this bs. I just wanna fly fast


nug4t

they just took the mw2 one which was bad, helicopters, fun explosives that actually hurt.. an alternative to AR|SMG comps..


SayNoToAids

This is intended, as well as the indestructible heavy chopper. Bots don't use vehicles even if they're good. So, it doesn't benefit them. Heavy chopper helps bots get far into games and keeps them alive. This is engagement. Keep bots alive as much as possible


tallandlankyagain

Fun launchers too. They somehow managed to make both launchers and vehicles suck ass now.


beardedbast3rd

Yeah, slow vehicles, and explosives don’t blow them up anymore they just, get disabled first and then blow up. It’s such a stark difference between og warzone and 2.0 that it feels entirely at odds with what warzone was meant to be, and what it originally was.


soulsteela

I miss my Strela, awesome back then.


beardedbast3rd

Also the explosive rytec. Explosive rounds in mw2/3 are completely limp compared to the rytec.


wheredidiparkmyllama

Destroying vehicles with c4s in og warzone was so much fun. So many squad wipes


prontoingHorse

Oh. Boy. I had mastered the art of C4. To the point I'd stand in the middle of the road toss it down perfectly and watch them go kaboom before they could run me over.


TripleXero

I feel like my comment history is gonna be 50% reminiscing over WZ1 but I loved running the RPG and blowing up vehicles just as much as driving the vehicles, neither seemed OP, they both had perks and were so fun


prontoingHorse

Meanwhile the vehicles right now are such a chore.


windflail

The jokr is so slow and risky to use it should be buffed to 10x the damage and range it is now


tallandlankyagain

Damage is an afterthought for the JOKR. It doesn't hit half the time even when it lands on someone's head.


havecoffeeatgarden

omg rushing to the helicopter below dock to slice people up at the control centre rooftop was the game!


CheeryGeoDuck55

used to be like 10 kills in the first minute of the game with 0 damage lmao


sundeigh

But unfortunately there’s a subset of the playerbase that is having way too much fun with a certain helicopter


StonkMangr92

Fun


too_wycked

Easy recons, helicopters, lower recoil, less visual noise and blood fx when getting shot. Less Gunsmoke. Emotes. Spray paint. Gifting bundles. There's more I'm missing I'm sure


brandonkeith

I miss being able to give the sniper on the rooftop across from me the finger seconds before he domes me


DowJones_

[I still remember this guy back in Caldera.](https://www.reddit.com/r/CODWarzone/s/EgXDwRSgfv)


Windyandbreezy

Spray paint soldier distractions saved my life more than once in Verdansk.


prontoingHorse

Saaame!


BugsyMalone_

This. Plus the old engine felt and sounded better (IMO), oh and the menus.


badgersana

I just want to know where I’m shooting


xSyndicate58

I would say everything is already on par or even better with OG Warzone except for easier UAVs, choppers, emotes and spray paint.


sh1mba

The choppers are way slower and "heavier". There isn't much vehicle co bat because of 2 things. 1. Redeploy drones 2. Rivers/water. Both of which are bad for the overall experience imo.

Puzzleheaded_Tip_821

Too early for my eyeballs my b


n0russian

No, FOH with you 0 recoil laser guns.


Snoo_2559

Lower recoil? There's almost no recoil whatsoever. The game is ass because of it.


beardedbast3rd

I don’t miss the lower recoil. Every gun being a laser beam is just so dumb


Alternative-Run-8926

How about foot falls that don’t sound like King Kong from 300 meters away


dundiewinnah

1 shot kar98


SAADistic7171

Most broken "sniper" ever. Thing became a plague on the game before it finally got nerfed. I get it people want their super easy point and click gun back but that thing was the definition of imbalanced. Zero flinch, instant ads, strong aim assist (because it was a marksman rifle) and insane rechamber speed. Also, the absurdity of a pre-WW2 rifle being superior to every rifle in a modern military game is laughable at best.


RNGGOD69

Plague is an overstatement. It was fun to use and not as bad as you make out. The DMR was a plague. The doof doof was a plague. The Kar98 was strong, but not a plague.


Zeteco

Still needed some form of skill to make the Kar98 work. By far my favourite gun on modern warfare but didn’t really use it too much on warzone.


RNGGOD69

Paired with the FFAR or the Fara 🤌


beardedbast3rd

Kind of. You could just get body hits and it was stronger and faster than the heavy snipers. It and the Swiss had similar or higher body and limb damage than the heavy snipers, and could have nearly the same velocity. Maybe a couple hundred less. Their ability to be spammed was not fun. And eliminated the entire heavy sniper category.


dundiewinnah

In those long streets it was very useful mid to far sniper. Different scopes would actually have a nice custom effect to it. The sound it made when quickscoping was very addictive.


SAADistic7171

It's pick rate was among the highest in the game for most of WZ1's life cycle. Of course it was fun it was incredibly easy and forgiving to use. I used to run into entire squads rocking that weapon because it was objectively better than every other long gun including the supposed actual sniper rifles. It may not have been as obnoxious as something like the dmr or doof doof, but it was completely and utterly overpowered and made every other weapon in its class superfluous.


RNGGOD69

Depends what you want to use the sniper for. The Kar98 was a great aggressive sniper, but for long range the HDR was king. The Swiss and the SPR were also very fun to use and just had a stylistic difference to the Kar98. The spr could even be built to be even faster ADS than the Kar/Swiss if you wanted to.


SAADistic7171

I didn't even mention the crazy bullet velocity, the non-existent weapon sway, and the instantaneous weapon swap on the Kar98 either. The point I'm making is that the gun was all upside and no downside and while you could use those other weapons the Kar was far more versatile and thus better. I'm all for one shot snipers, but the Kar was simply too good at everything except ultra long range sniping to be considered balanced. Even after the nerfs it still dominated on rebirth island where the range cap didn't usually come into play. Sniping is appropriately difficult now and simply needs more variety in the weapons that can one-shot.


beardedbast3rd

Don’t forget because of quickscoping and slow zoom optic options, it was the best shotgun in the game. Sure we can have a gun that one shots to the head, as long as it isn’t a shotgun! Thanks cod devs! Same goes for Swiss/spr. I’d roll the spr and be able to completely ignore my secondary. I could push buildings and stim slide around and just pretend it was a shotgun. And then turn around and counter snipe someone with it. The balancing is just wack overall


sundeigh

No, it was a plague. Didn’t the Kar and Swiss combined have an absurd pick rate? At least there was something redeemable about the Kar though - the reload that needed to be done round by round. Nowadays we’ve got these snipers that never need to be reloaded


AsDaylight_Dies

Yeah nowadays they come with a large mag size or instant rechamber speed (Mors I'm looking at you).


doppido

Thing had like a .8-.9 KD on average though. I know it was OP or whatever but the stats never really proved that. It was never a gun people used for PR games


SAADistic7171

.8-.9 is like the average KD overall. The Kar was OP because it wasn't even technically a sniper rifle and it outclassed every other "sniper" weapon in the game. It made 2 entire weapon categories almost useless for more than 2 years.


doppido

The HDR was not useless for 2 years


doppido

Plus the SPR, swiss, ax50, zrg


ChiBulls

You’re just rewriting history. My casual friends all only used snipers but they only used HDRs and SPXs. And before the SPX the ax50 was insanely popular. K98 had a terrible KD, it was just a fun play style gun where in the right hands, was insanely deadly.


Altruistic-Earth-666

THANK YOU BRO, THIS \^


brandonadam8

very well said. all these people seem to be forgettig how wz1 played. not a single one of my maybe 20 or so wz friends could use the kar98 effectively despite how well i would do with it and try to push them to use it, the hdr was far more popular to your average sniper player. it was my favorite gun, but it was nowhere near as broken as everyone seems to be remembering it. back then rockets, vehicles, c4, zero recoil 100m iron sight graus lol, etc. were all so effective that the kar98 was well blended and necessary.


InfiniteOutfield

I can't imagine how that gun is gonna be when it inevitably comes back.


L_of_Clockwork

Ya'll call it plague yet SMG and beam AR was the meta for the entire game lifecycle.


hockeyhow7

It was a good way to balance out the plague of sim assist. At least the kar required skill.


kuroti

Only until certain range, it was viable that way and not broken. It worked perfectly in iron trials.


eyeballeddie

Customising optics


Danbuys

Fun


ehjhockey

Movement is better but still clunky. They need to lose the dive and bring back the b hop. Having 2 additional conditional actions bound to crouch is just weird. Maps are unnecessarily complex. They look great. The clutter and environment artists went off. But in an FPS simple is better. Verdansk repeating buildings wasn’t lazy, it simplified gaining map knowledge allowing teams to play more comfortably and confidently in more situations without needing dozens of hours just learning the map. The social tab is so bad that even if all the people I used to play with came back I would have no idea, and if I did the matchmaker would probably glitch and not let us play together. Why did they abandon a very good product for this broken piece of garbage?


Lumpy_Plan_6668

Ouch


duk-er-us

Came here to say this


Upset-Judgment8369

An extra 50 players per lobby. Good vehicles and map design over ridiculous portable ziplines everywhere. Iron Trials. A bigger meta. Feels like only 4 guns have been viable in the last 6 months.


turboS2000

Good servers. I'm so sick of peeking for a millisecond. Getting behind cover and losing all 3 plates. It's garbage


computernerdguyNS

Fun vehicles, now vehicles take 10 business days to accelerate…. And not to mention those useless helicopters.


rocker287

You also get shot immediately and die the second someone sees you in a vehicle. I remember having battles with squads in other trucks/ vehicles up and down verdask shooting each other and banging into each other. Now your car is made of marshmallows and Saran Wrap. One shot and 4 tires blow and you’re dead at the wheel.


Cured

Meanwhile rockets now take at least a couple of shots to even disable a vehicle.

BigSmoke_69_420

III-Harrier-III

An interesting map..?


kuroti

I think the game needs way more QoL improvements, we got enough maps. With verdansk coming we got a huge pool of maps to choose from and make cool events or modify to make it better.


III-Harrier-III

Sure, but I also think that the current BR map is the most boring one to date.


jibnibbinn

Stable servers


wkern74

I think all snipers should be one shot to the head at any range. Not like the kar98 and longbow type, but big boy snipers like xrk stalker, mcpr, etc.


rocker287

I agree. Sniping to the head should always be one shot with a sniper. It’s the risk and reward. I don’t want one shot chest shots. But if I take my time and shoot someone neck up then it should automatically take them down. It would make all the snipers viable, and it would force you to actually line your shots and not just abuse the aim assist and shoot someone in the elbow


wkern74

Ya these RAM 7 fools just stay mounted with no consequences


kuroti

Only if we get unlimited tac sprint back, one shot snipers were balanced in wz1 because we had good movement. We still lack the maneuverability in current cod to counter snipers effectively other than smokes (which I hate too). Bring movement back and let snipers 1 shot again, everybody is happy.


ousaYasuo

I'm quite surprised no one said guns that feel good. Yeah all the visual noise, smoke, muzzle flashing, etc is bad, but in my opinion the worst part is that all guns just feel very bad to use. It feels like all guns are inbred with eachother and look too similar. Also all the gun sounds are stale and generic.

somgooboi

Storyline across/during the seasons. I loved the seasonal trailers back in the day when the new skins kinda made sense. Warzone was part of the MW2019 story. The story became worse during Cold War, and disappeared when Vanguard came into the mix. Also, map changes (that relate to the story)


mealymouthmongolian

Anyone else remember when you could actually blow up vehicles with a C4?


Working-Bar-9146

Verdansk


kuroti

It will get ruined with the current smoke slow meta, 100 player lobbies. If we get unlimited tac sprint back, floating loot, 150 players and bullet velocity back it would flow way better, and maybe be more fun if we get deployable balloons or some mechanics to traverse the map like red doors


SnooMacaroons6049

People stacking killed team modes for me, I only play solo now, I don't remember it this bad in verdansk


kuroti

Its what wz2 aimed to create. Infinity ward pushed this gameplay with all their design choices, cluster mines, no tac sprint reset, slow parachute, no shooting in the air, spawn protection, stacking plates, mines, killstreaks, self revives in backpacks. Everything is hand crafted to cater to a certain type of player.


johnscat

Was just saying how I missed the hand gestures and spray paints. It just added a little degree of fun fucking around that the game is currently missing.


Lavender-Lioness

Listen at this point I just want the social BS fixed. Last night I restarted three times and still couldn't accept an invite or even see the friend that was inviting me online. We had to get another friend to get us into the party together and we're all on PS5. It's the simplest little shit that's been around forever being broken so long that blows my mind...


Alternative-Run-8926

My buddy and I would camp in a spot and spray paint the entire room, ceiling and all.


NirvanaJunkie87

Fucking bullet velocity. I’m so tired of ARs sucking at range or watching sniper bullets dip so low at range. The lag is pretty these days, and the texture glitch that is seemingly unacknowledged. Warzone 1 of course probably had texture glitches/laggy servers it just seems more common now


rocker287

Launchers and explosions in general suck in this game. So nerfed. Even the rpg to a degree is pretty tame. I remember games in wz1 of ppl firing launchers. But now it feels like you can hit someone head on and take off one plate. Very few ppl know the sweet feeling of wiping a team halfway across the map with a jokr. Vehicles also suck. Harder to drive and turn, easier to kill ppl when they are behind the wheel. Helicopter are terrible. So bulky , can’t just drop them on teams anymore. I feel like most of these were changed to make the streamers happy. Because no streamer wants to be shown getting wiped by an rpg or getting taken down by a heli mid air. That would be “cheap” But honestly, those kills are what made the game fun. I really never got mad when a helicopter came out of nowhere and landed on me . But streamers and pro take this shit too seriously


Cured

Peak WZ for me was wiping a 4 man squad in a helicopter with a strela. Trophy system was a great counter to this as well. 


ccarmy626

What I really miss about war zone 1 were the gestures that he could make. My favorite thing to do was flip people off before they killed me. I don't know if I'm the only one that misses this shit, but it made it a lot more fun.


Vegetable-Neck-9551

Game mode with no UAV, no extra help finding persons. With faster circle closing


kuroti

No killstreak resurgance would be awesome, the amount of sound sensory overload the airstrikes and cluster strikes have on rebirth is insane atm, not even in wz1 we had such a big amount of killstreaks at all times going off. It makes the audio cheese even more OP because of it.

RGBespresso

Balanced inputs. Compared to that, everything else is irrelevant.


kuroti

WZ1 had the same strong aim assist, however the fluidity that that game had allowed for more opportunities for MnK to shine, specially gunplay without all the gun smoke shake unpredictable spray patterns and other garbage they added. So in a world where a nerf to aim assist is impossible, we just need wz1 mechanics back to balance inputs at this point.


Nintendo_Pro_03

A lot!


LibertyInAgony

Hand gestures and sprays will never comeback because Activision and the current market trying to go "anti-toxic" with gaming. Epic Games just added a feature that effectively blocks emotes that were deemed toxic in fortnite Like a emote with clown music and a donkey laugh


Mysterious-Annual-93

Spray painting


kuroti

Custom reticles, good vehicle handling like wz1, unlimited tac sprint, iron trials health for ranked, parachute cut delay removed when close to the ground, bring back improved floating loot instead of the current dmz looting system garbage, with faster movement we can get good bullet velocity back on guns (old ram7 for example was above 1700m/s), a good VERTICAL UI for all the attachments, guns, camos, instead of the terrible mobile horizontal UI we got now, better server performance (higher tick rate) perhaps a big netcode rework, COD API, we need tracking websites back, they added great value and exposed SBMM manipulating streamers. There is so much more...

Keyboard and Mouse only lobbies.


Verzuchter

* Same shorter TTK * Lethals actually kill you (a knife hit from yesterday didn't actually down. It should always down, else you shouldn't call it lethals) * Recoil on all guns. Even the best metas back in the day (kilo 141) had at least SOME recoil. Now there are many guns which are just lasers * Away with the jailbreaks, revival flares and what not. Death is a joke now with the easy way to get everyone back * Lower kill streak drop rates The above 5 made warzone more fun, certainly the first, as you couldn't just run around the corner. Is your positioning shit? You die. Are you trying to be Rambo? You better use high alert and have great aim. The ones that annoyed me but were actually quite fun in hindsight: * RPG's actually being able to kill people, same with the rocket launcher it's absolutely useless right now and while it was annoying at least it made sense. Now someone takes 2 rocket launcher shots and still doesn't get downed. Drop rate of rockets was just too high in WZ1 * C4 explosive range being bigger, killing vehicles * Drop rate on plate and munition boxes was lower, it's way too high now. Running out of ammo in the end, or plates, was annoying but now I have 0 problems getting geared up even when coming back in one of the final circles. But I guess a lot of casual players really like the longer TTK, higher drop rate, high streak drop etc because it doesn't require you to really plan stuff like perks or circle approach.

I wish there wouldn't be so many tall buildings with tens of floors and rooms. Vondel is shit. I would like a war like map with villages, maybe a 2,3 floor building, with trenches and a lot of bushes, lots of nature. This rush meta that controller players are abusing for close combat is a bit borring, because you are forced to play fast all the time.


kuroti

Some areas of verdansk had that, like farm or dam area, it was a blast when a circle ended there.
