I understand that bugs can happen & all but it seems kind’ve silly. You’ve had 3 years of development, more likely 2 years, & you haven’t been able to add something that has been a feature in the past COD’s?

I appreciate that the team is trying. I just don’t get how it wasn’t implemented at launch.

So creating pointless sprays and wrist watches take priority over actual things that would improve gameplay?

All I ask is you guys communicate more this year in regards to problems. We'd appreciate it.

Will we be seeing any future weapon and killstreak balancing updates?

As a stranger on the internet, I just want to put it out there, you're doing really well. I and everyone else (including the detractors) appreciate the work you're putting in and the actual community response.

Please do not let the salty, on-tilt, detractors get you down and remember to actually take some time for yourself in your vacation and don't burn out. I know you American's don't get much Vacation and in Game Dev it's probably up there with some really terrible hours.

For what my 2 cents is worth (not much), here is my positive feedback that I hope will counter balance some of the hate.

This is the first COD since BO2 that I have actually played beyond a couple of weeks. Since launch, I have nearly 8 days of play time and this game is one of my favourites ever. I'll happily concede to detractors that there have been issues ( that recon drone officer mission is my last ribbon darn it! :P ) but everyone seems to forget that the devs fix them pretty darn quick.

I've written some software for internal company use and I can see bug tickets that I haven't fixed for 4 months that are relatively frustrating (note: this has made me remeber this fix this today) but due to time and staffing I just can't justify the time to fix it. Cycling back to the point, I am glad that you guys are so on top of actual bugs and issues. :)

I'd be happy to send you nice bottle of scotch as a personal thanks if you wanted to pm me a location someone would recieve it, or I could just address it to C/O artpeasant to office reception ha!

Enjoy the break mate, stay strong!

Good I'm glad. It just feels like we haven't seen considerable weapon or killstreak tweaks yet. M4 is still dominant

It's called whiskey in Scotland my friend. Please don't make this mistake again before I set David Tennant on you

I respect that opinion, you would know more about it than me. I guess I am just confused as to how the company is prioritizing the work then

I think my main frustration is seeing so many highly upvoted concerns in this sub not being directly addressed. For instance, I am getting pretty sick and tired of people spamming skill based matchmaking posts, but they keep doing it because it doesn't seem like the developers want to address it. Does it exist, does it not? Are there plans to change it, etc.

The last time I've played this much CoD was in MW and BO2. I have at least 6-7 days on this game so far. I can play SnD literally all day. Looking forward to more maps tho ;)

But you guys did an incredible f**king job.

Nice - fellow scotch lover here - scotch/whisky doesn’t evolve once bottled like wine does so a 10yo will never taste like an 18yo no matter how long you keep it - at least it keeps though unless you’ve had it in sunlight or something

u/artpeasant For about 3 weeks the statistics of the game modes (Barracks>Records>Playlist) are no longer monitored, only the general ones work. Game on PS4 Pro (Game version: Digital, PAL Italy). Are you aware of the problem? It's frustrating not being able to monitor the stats...

I think its a misunderstanding that we would try to sneak something into the game that doesn't improve the experience.

 
You mean some pretty hard SBMM to keep low-skill players coming back?
Your current level of SBMM was "snuck in" for player retention (I've read the AV annual reports), and it's so bad, that I was consistently put on US servers from Europe. I should never, under any circumstances, be put on servers across the Atlantic. That is a broken mechanic.

 
I've contacted every outlet of AV and IW w/o a single response (you got my oney right?).
In the end I got tired of jumping through hoops just to play on Euro servers (amazing what you can do with iptables), so now I'm playing other games. Jedi Fallen Order is both amazing and fun.

 
Watch as this reply will be deleted, because IW can't have criticism.

Do you know if the missing emblems from season 0 is going to be fixed in the next update or not ? I’ve completed all officers challenges and only received 7/10. Thank you for communicating with us.

Hi there!

Sorry to bug you, I’m gonna hijack your comment, but you seem to be the most active member of the team in terms of communication so I wanted to let you know about an issue on the game. I’m sure you’ve already been told about this but I wanted to make sure.

It’s minor but it bugs the heck out of me. The Origin 12 has a missing attachment on level 46 so the green square doesn’t go away.

Again, I know it’s minor but this has happened with other guns before and drove me insane.

appreciate your taking the time to chat with us degenerates on the reddit.

to help clarify how I think a lot of the community feels about this: regardless of intent, we think that weapon mechanic calibrations should be communicated in the notes. if it's not malicious, as you say (and I hope), then someone is dropping the ball somewhere. obv Ash isn't making the tweaks herself, so is the team not communicating a full list of changes? is she missing notes in the rush to post? there's a disconnect somewhere that needs to be addressed.

personally I'll take the notes a day late if it means they're 100% complete.

Hey Joel. Sorry for another hijacking of a comment.

Can you talk about tech aspects of Xbox One X version of the game? Right now, game runs not as well as it could in MP on Piccadilly and on every GW map.

There is tech analysis of the issues by Eurogamer’s DigitalFoundry. But the gist of it is that game render targets dynamic 1600p on PS4 Pro and dynamic 4K on Xbox One X. While on Pro it’s fine and stable 60FPS in MP, on Xbox One X in GW game frequently drops to mid 50FPS. In 6v6 and 10v10 it’s mostly fine except for Piccadilly where it also suffers.

Any chance a patch will come that will at least in MP make performance on Xbox One X more stable? Maybe make dynamic resolution scaling more aggressive towards targeting 60FPS or just lock the resolution in MP to 1440p? I would take 60FPS any day over higher resolution or 4K.

Here is full Eurogamer DF analysis of the retail version of MP on all platforms, frame rate analysis starts at 7:21: https://youtu.be/3ocfE5h8LlI

I know PS4 and PS4 Pro versions are main focus, but getting stable performance in GW at least on Xbox One X would be great.
