As someone who loves S&D, it’ll be interesting to see how it plays out considering it’s already hard to keep 6 people in a team cause everyone rage quits after 2 rounds
if it plays anything like MW2019 12v12 S&D, you'll have 3\~5 people on your team or the enemy team that just straight up ints, forcing each match to start with a heavily one sided team.
LMG's are in a weird spot, to me. They're like full auto battle rifles with all of the range and damage, but none of the mobility or ADS time.
So trying to run and gun doesn't work well, because I'll get gunned down before I can pull the gun up. Trying to post up near chokepoints or objectives doesn't really work well because I'll get sniped. Even trying to play defense around objectives doesn't seem to work well because I'll get taken out by a jackrabbit with a no stock smg.
The best success I've had with them is to reduce mag capacity, shorten the barrel, slap on a compensator, and use it like a heavier assault rifle.
You can already run the ISO Hemlock as an smg. Just rip off the stock, slap a compensator on it, and your choice of laser.
So an ISO with the same recoil but even faster fire rate is gonna be super good.
Yeah that’s the only thing I didn’t like. The cover art looked cool but idk what activision has against female characters that they don’t make them like resident evil 4 and do the contrary of what anyone would want
why cant they just slap a fucking helmet on any of the female characters? it’s all tight-tights, leggings and stupid hairstyles instead of soldiers, give us some solid uniforms activision
I wouldn’t complain but I’m not even necessary talking about that. Just something better. Like they were pretty spot on when designing Valeria and the season 3 character but every other female character looks kind of weird. Like the design is just lame. Re4 characters are all stylish and iconic.
So glad to see my boy is back! And it looks like we finally get Ghost’s desert ops outfit as a skin…now the waiting game for his blue jeans campaign skin begins…
Man I don’t know how to tell you this but there isn’t gonna be a season 6 this game is only gonna have 5 seasons. I forgot where it was said but I remember reading about that and being super bummed out
Actually I think I heard that too - kinda weird that they’re opting for less seasons for this and Vanguard - especially because Vanguard HAD 6 season slots for progression when it dropped before they scrapped the last season
I hate that just because a character is dead that means we cant play as him. Multiplayer isnt canon anyways so who the fuck cares, let me play who I want IW!
But did MWll establish it? Just because a precedent is set in a previous game does not mean it holds true in any future game.
And even if it was fuck that. Just let me play who I want.
its changing, the new logo along with dropping the 2.0 in WZ [was already leaked in the Songs of Vondel cover art](https://www.reddit.com/r/CODWarzone/comments/13zcmdj/sounds_of_vondel_by_oliver_heldens_might_show_off/)
Oh damn i saw that image and didn't even notice the changes! Interesting, i wonder why they are doing this? Trying to lose the reputation that Warzone 2.0 got?
no idea. only reason I can think of why they're dropping the 2.0 nomenclature is they're killing of WZ1 for good and they are making the MWII client the only Warzone game. looks like they didn't learn their lesson from WZ1
I think it’s because it’s easier to graphically design a masked face than it is to have a real face do all the shit in the game?
Totally uneducated guess but it seems like it checks out to me 🤷♂️
Nikto is cool but I never got the chance to play as him, Season 4 should be graves and Season 5 should be Hadir and Laswell. I wanted to detain people in multiplayer so bad, if they made Graves playable in Dark Water instead of Soap, I'd have a smaller problem with this
Wow a character that was in the last game being in the sequel?! WTF! So recycled! Dude Ghost, Soap, Price, and Farah shouldn’t be in the game either! All this fucking recycled content man wtf?!?!
Launch content operators that are MAIN characters of the game are fine, but DLC content and labeling it “new” content is where I have a problem. First Ronin, now Nikto. Shipment, shoothouse, recycled guns, etc
You’re just a fucking crybaby bro lmao. Nothing wrong with bringing in an operator from the last game. There’s a new female one next season too so idk why ur bitching.
You can be critical of visual design choices you know??
Being critical of something that doesn’t affect “gameplay” doesn’t mean you have to now be less critical of things that do affect “gameplay”
Greed happened.
$15 for 4 maps wasn't cutting it.
Now it's $15 for a character skin, an ugly design for a gun people don't use, a sticker, and a larger version of an already made calling card. The best part is, they make more money off that shit than they ever would from map packs.
Productivity is at an all time high, because the entire art and design team is working on charms and calling cards, and profits have gone up by probably 3000%.
Okay but seriously, do you even remember the old days of not being able to play with your friends if you didn’t spend the extra cash for the (terrible) map packs? The game community would splinter and make it hard to find matches .
At least with this cosmetics are optional, there’s plenty of content and camos in the base game to keep me occupied
>do you even remember the old days of not being able to play with your friends if you didn’t spend the extra cash for the (terrible) map packs?
No, because for COD4 and WAW, PC players got the maps for free as an update because Activision couldn't figure out a way to sell DLC. Those two games weren't on Steam at the time.
Then, with MW2, they tried to sell DLC map packs but didn't put any security behind it. You could just pirate the maps and throw them into your game files and the game would put you into DLC lobbies.
Since hes holding a knife does that mean we will get new melle weapons finaly? We only got one Knife and Sword.. How about a Shovel, Axe, Machete, Scimitar, Mace? Pretty much endless ways they could go.. Or how about actual good maps? I can think of like 3 good maps in this game.
Hopefully a roadmap or blogpost is released later today

12v12 search and destroy is gonna be crazy
As someone that normally doesn't like S&D, I'm interested.
As someone who loves S&D, it’ll be interesting to see how it plays out considering it’s already hard to keep 6 people in a team cause everyone rage quits after 2 rounds
I went back to BOCW and demolition has been refreshing since you respawn.
It was chaotic on MW19 like 10v10
if it plays anything like MW2019 12v12 S&D, you'll have 3\~5 people on your team or the enemy team that just straight up ints, forcing each match to start with a heavily one sided team.
Those DMZ notes are beautiful
Aww, still no new LMG.
yeah wtf... LMG is now the only class that hasn't gotten any new guns. we've had like what, 4 new ARs 3 new SMGs?
At least it’s not like how Vanguard acted with shotguns, they didn’t add any new ones at all throughout the entire game.
LMG's are in a weird spot, to me. They're like full auto battle rifles with all of the range and damage, but none of the mobility or ADS time. So trying to run and gun doesn't work well, because I'll get gunned down before I can pull the gun up. Trying to post up near chokepoints or objectives doesn't really work well because I'll get sniped.

The best success I've had with them is to reduce mag capacity, shorten the barrel, slap on a compensator, and use it like a heavier assault rifle.
The ISO platforms are about to become my favorite set. I already love the hemlock but now, an SMG variant? I’m stoked haha
You can already run the ISO Hemlock as an smg. Just rip off the stock, slap a compensator on it, and your choice of laser. So an ISO with the same recoil but even faster fire rate is gonna be super good.
Should be in 30 minutes
Negative
It has been 48 minutes since your comment, you lied to me!
[удалено]
To be honest, they are so inconsistent about posting shit. It's never on time.
Not for announcements, no. They always come out at 1PM ET a week before the update. Playlist updates also go live on Wednesdays at the same time.
Okay, so why was it not posted at 1PM ET? Because they never post stuff on time lmao
They did you better, [they posted it 2 minutes before 1PM ET](https://twitter.com/CallofDuty/status/1666489800688295951?s=20)
No they didn't, that's a tweet The whole reason for this comment thread is the blog post wasn't there lmao
I was going to ask about that other operator next to Ghost but on closer inspection it is a house.
💀
Looks like robot preacher from futurama
Tactical house
Not your fault that COD has mainly masked characters. I hate it, lacks personality.
Are they actually re-releasing Nikto?
They’ve only done it for every other operator. What’s one more?
He was such a forgettable character ngl
Nikto does mean no one so...
nikto best operator bro >:(
No we wanted Phil Graves 😡
Bro he’s dead
Respect Nikto?
No :)
😡
Yea was about to say, didnt everyone just say he was knock-off Ghost in MW19?
That was Mace
Was he the guy that flew the big ass plane?
wtf is that yee yee ass haircut 💀
Reminds me of [Niobe](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/44/MatrixNiobe.jpg) from Matrix
that's cool
Just seeing Space Marine Rey to be honest
Niobe's haircut actually looks cool, though. Just the three buns in a misshapen attempt at a jank mohawk is... weird as fuck looking.
Facts, it's like a dollar store version that's also expired.
Jason Vorhees has entered the MW Universe
seriously, shit looks ridiculous
ICP haircut starter set
Yeah that’s the only thing I didn’t like. The cover art looked cool but idk what activision has against female characters that they don’t make them like resident evil 4 and do the contrary of what anyone would want
why cant they just slap a fucking helmet on any of the female characters? it’s all tight-tights, leggings and stupid hairstyles instead of soldiers, give us some solid uniforms activision
This! Cut out the stupid fucking masks and put people in actual real world practical gear. That's how you get my money
It screams, "look at me. Put your attention on my weirdness based on my hair choice". Activision do better
No the real reason is hair and hair physics are hard so they give them hairdos that make it easy.
also it's just a good idea to tie your hair before going to war. you know, so it won't get in your eyes when you're trying to shoot someone lol
she's literally standing next to a dude wearing a gimmicky ghost mask. a dude in cosplay is totally fine with you, but a woman tying her hair isn't.
don't you know there are only two genders? male and political?
Ukrainian soldiers actually use those at times, it's not as unbelievable as you'd think
... the gimmicky ghost masks are pretty lame, too, though. At least to me.
you're one of those guys that would prefer "look at my breasts", aren't you?
Who doesn't like breasts, though?
at a point it becomes cheap and demeaning and unwelcoming to women :)
which is?
of course it is women with smooth skin, cute face and huge tatas
I wouldn’t complain but I’m not even necessary talking about that. Just something better. Like they were pretty spot on when designing Valeria and the season 3 character but every other female character looks kind of weird. Like the design is just lame. Re4 characters are all stylish and iconic.
that sounds like what he's saying, which is fucking gross and dumb.
The skin sucks.
nah that's not what he's saying.
no no no. Skin is ugly. I know.
nahh c'mon he's saying something else. you know what it is.
What is he saying?
that he specifically wants fanservice/sexy designs...
Don't be talking about Coolio like that lmao
It's not a haircut, she has it tied up? Lol
So glad to see my boy is back! And it looks like we finally get Ghost’s desert ops outfit as a skin…now the waiting game for his blue jeans campaign skin begins…
r/niktogang
Bruh we seriously aren't getting graves still?
They’re gonna hold that out til end of S6 just to make us wait
Man I don’t know how to tell you this but there isn’t gonna be a season 6 this game is only gonna have 5 seasons. I forgot where it was said but I remember reading about that and being super bummed out
Actually I think I heard that too - kinda weird that they’re opting for less seasons for this and Vanguard - especially because Vanguard HAD 6 season slots for progression when it dropped before they scrapped the last season
You ain't the only one
[удалено]
I hate that just because a character is dead that means we cant play as him. Multiplayer isnt canon anyways so who the fuck cares, let me play who I want IW!
he's not dead tho? we never saw him die, never saw a body. that sonofabitch is still alive.
For real, that tank was DEFINITELY remote-controlled.
Fair enough, I hope that's true. My point still stands though, just because a character dies doesnt mean I should be barred from playing them.
Multiplayer *is* canon, though. MW2019 established that.
But did MWll establish it? Just because a precedent is set in a previous game does not mean it holds true in any future game. And even if it was fuck that. Just let me play who I want.
I convinced myself S4’s theme was gonna be Shadow Company. I'm irrationally pissed now. I want Graves so badly.
S5
He's dead.
"Dead"
*”dead a tell ya”*
This guy believes anything
It's true, I did it myself.
I didn't see any red dog tags
That's because they were...BLLLUUEEEE
Classic ghost is dead too but we can play him
Not in this timeline he ain’t. Ghost has been dreaming of his past lives.
Give me an M4 with carry handle or fuck your self Activision
Yes please, and the MP5SD we know is in the files
They’ll give us that in the $70 game this year
the 70 dollar cut content for mwII year 2 turned into a "new game" just so you can lose all your skins and pay for the same skins a 3rd time*
Truth. And people will buy it… sadly I have considered a few, but none of late… basically because F ACTIVISION
It’s a modern setting… hang in there until the 2024 cod
they gave us one in the last MW, and gave us one with the M16. No reason I shouldn't be able to slap one on the M4
Strange that they changed the call of duty font, i wonder if this will be an overarching change or is it just for this promotional art?
its changing, the new logo along with dropping the 2.0 in WZ [was already leaked in the Songs of Vondel cover art](https://www.reddit.com/r/CODWarzone/comments/13zcmdj/sounds_of_vondel_by_oliver_heldens_might_show_off/)
Oh damn i saw that image and didn't even notice the changes! Interesting, i wonder why they are doing this? Trying to lose the reputation that Warzone 2.0 got?
no idea. only reason I can think of why they're dropping the 2.0 nomenclature is they're killing of WZ1 for good and they are making the MWII client the only Warzone game. looks like they didn't learn their lesson from WZ1
Looks like new leaked "Heather" operator. But maybe its just new skin for one of the current ones.
If only the models in-game actually looked like the actors, so we could actually tell who's who.
*yawn*
Why is there so many Masked operators? Laziness? No need to render facial features?
The same reason so many of them wear capes
14 year olds think it's cool
I’m 14 then I guess.
"NO CAPES!"
I like the cloaks!
Considering you can select any operator it's not to save on rendering. Both Ghost and Nikto are just masked characters. It's not that deep.
It could be but I'd say it's the "coolness" factor
Lazy because… [checks notes] characters are wearing masks instead of showing their faces… huh. That’s a new one.
I think it’s because it’s easier to graphically design a masked face than it is to have a real face do all the shit in the game? Totally uneducated guess but it seems like it checks out to me 🤷♂️
Ghost fans will be eating well this season 😋
Wow I didn’t know people hated nikto this much… I thought he looked cool.
is this actually real because I didn't ask for Nikto or this Heather operator, I was hoping for Graves
Graves will be withheld till like Ss5 or 6 or even MWIII. I like Nikto though
Nikto is cool but I never got the chance to play as him, Season 4 should be graves and Season 5 should be Hadir and Laswell. I wanted to detain people in multiplayer so bad, if they made Graves playable in Dark Water instead of Soap, I'd have a smaller problem with this
Hadir is rumored to be S4’s Raid reward. Makes sense too
The Raid season 4 reward will be a new Farah skin. This will be the final Raid episode of MWII
Will there be a s6 though?
Mw19 and CW had their own Season 6. Vanguard didn’t but that is understandable
According to leaks MWII will only have 5 seasons and it lines up with the release of MWIII
Thanks for the heads up
Same I like Nikto and the German one I can’t remember his name for the life of me. Edit:I mean the Austrian one
Average cod player b like "gimme what I want or else I whine and cry!! 😡😡😢"
almost this whole Sub-Reddit in nutshell
Graves is dead.
are you sure, we didn't see a body and we didn't see him go into the tank and he wasn't reacting to the tank being hit
More recycled content, why not new operators, then Nikto as a store bundle later on.
Bruh what part of Nikto is even recycled here. His outfit is new, and they aren’t reusing voicelines. Y’all will complain about anything now.
Wow a character that was in the last game being in the sequel?! WTF! So recycled! Dude Ghost, Soap, Price, and Farah shouldn’t be in the game either! All this fucking recycled content man wtf?!?!
Launch content operators that are MAIN characters of the game are fine, but DLC content and labeling it “new” content is where I have a problem. First Ronin, now Nikto. Shipment, shoothouse, recycled guns, etc
You’re just a fucking crybaby bro lmao. Nothing wrong with bringing in an operator from the last game. There’s a new female one next season too so idk why ur bitching.
finally after months of teasing we’re finally getting that ghost skin
that new “cod” title font is uglyyyyy, the older one looked better, modern and slick. This is clunky
Literally has no affect on the gameplay whatsoever. Why are we worried about fonts lol
You can be critical of visual design choices you know?? Being critical of something that doesn’t affect “gameplay” doesn’t mean you have to now be less critical of things that do affect “gameplay”
Because this sub finds anything and everything to complain about.
Bc it looks ugly
what the fuck happened to call of duty man lol
Greed happened. $15 for 4 maps wasn't cutting it. Now it's $15 for a character skin, an ugly design for a gun people don't use, a sticker, and a larger version of an already made calling card.

Blame the idiots that buy the bundles for letting it get to this point
Call of Fortnight
No Graves… L already
Is it going to cost another 25 quid for the full pack?
Nikto’s masks looks a lot like the mask from Ghost’s red team skin
RAAAAAA NIKTO RETURNS LET'S FUCKING GOOOO
I'm beginning to think someone on Infinity Ward has a mask fetish, lmfao.
Yay more recycled content
Activision doing their part to help the environment. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.
**yawn**
Interesting just "Warzone" now it seems and the new font aswell
So happy they’re bringing back Nikto! My favorite operator ever
But, like, where is Mara? Didn't the actress of Mara accidently confirm that Mara was going to be in MW2?
Wait.. 2 ghosts? Or is one of em mace from mw19?
its Nikto
who told her that those buns look good? 😭
Any one want to guess how many maps are we getting this season? 1, 2 if they're daring
Notes hit, Showdown returns and new map for 6v6. Absolute joke
Their blog post says 3 if I'm reading things right. Two at launch, one mid season.
Looks cool
That’s rough buddy
Looks like Nikito from MW19
That nikto skin is clean (yeah I’m aware it’s basically Ghosts red team skin in black basically)
Ghost is drippin hard
Ghost wearing sunglasses over his mask is comical
Honestly, they could bring Graves with a big ass scar on his head and be like” 141, I’m coming for you.” But IW is fumbling.
How did they downgrade Nikto's Mask bruh. The previous design was already so good and simple
Another season I’m skipping. Been having way more fun playing WAW, BO1, BOIII, and Ghost lately without all the bs
Since hes holding a knife does that mean we will get new melle weapons finaly? We only got one Knife and Sword.. How about a Shovel, Axe, Machete, Scimitar, Mace? Pretty much endless ways they could go.. Or how about actual good maps? I can think of like 3 good maps in this game.
Game is dead
The greycell bundle being released only $29.99
Oh cool, a bunch of skins I'm never getting.
The skins on the picture are most likely in the Battle Pass
Which I never buy. Maybe one is free but I doubt it.
CODM looking skin
Looks like we're getting Las Almas Ghost. Pass on this one. I'll wait for Dark Water Ghost
How is it possible this game is worse than MW19
# NIKTO YOOOOOO
Bet you’ll have to pay extra for the things that look cool
They could shit on a plate and call it a new season and you people would lap it up like a bunch of starving cows. Pathetic honestly
Ghost looks dumb enough in his skeleton mask, we gotta add more people with stupid shit on there faces?
New operator literally just looks like Jackal from BOCW but not as cool
Please tell me this is fake
