    No, not at all. I certainly didn't take it that way. I was just clarifying my original position is all.

    You began by saying that you played a few games and got killed quickly in each of them. Then you explained that your problem with these games, in general, is that the skill gap is too wide and that you're not willing to invest the time needed to get better. In conclusion, you made the suggestion that there should be some sort of beginner area for players such as yourself.

    My whole thing is that everyone jumped into Warzone as a beginner of some sort. Some may have had experience in similar modes, but we were all dropped into the fight and forced to learn as we went along. Warzone hasn't been out for very long, so we're still very early into its life cycle. I didn't know what the Gulag was when I first got sent there.

    I'm not trying to convince you to keep playing the game, or to change your mind about anything. I just felt like responding to what you said.

    And yes, there are still many of the old modes in the base game if Warzone isn't your cup of tea. I'm terrible at most of them, and like you, I don't have much interest in getting better. I just run around, shoot ****, and have fun.
    Your points were well-taken and considered. I understand why you made them, which is why I thought I would add some background (e.g. I have played a bunch of COD in the past) so there was some context to my issue with the game. Well, "issue" is a bit generous, I should just call it what it is: a complaint.

    Anyway, I realized after reading the back-and-forth exchange, it does sound like I'm taking the position of "I didn't win right away, I suck at the game, I've tried nothing and I'm all out of patience". Which I suppose is sort of true, and that's my fault for not more clearly articulating my position. There's no reason anyone else would just automatically know my complete gaming history and context, so it was basically a spur-of-the-moment musing and not particularly well thought-out.

    I will give it another shot at some point, I guess my last add-on complaint was it was taking a long time to get back into games after you die (and then after I immediately get killed in the gulag), so my "time waiting to get into a game" and "time playing the game" was basically getting to be a 1:1 ratio, which is a bit too low for my liking (although right in-line with my lifetime K: D ratio across COD's LOL).

        You've been around OS way too long for anyone to think you were attacking them.

        I will give the Blood Money mode a shot - even in the 'older' multiplayer modes, I always much-preferred the capture-the-flag and other objective-based modes to the straight-up deathmatch modes, so I think I might like that better. I think battle royale just isn't for me.

          I tried it and thought it was fun - may play more, but it won't pull me from pubg. the TTK is where COD doesn't jive with me. QQC it's fine and seems 'normal', at range is where I'm not a fan. I sniped someone in the face near the stadium at least once, but maybe even twice, then they flanked me and I killed him with some smg I had as a secondary - after that his buddy mopped me up.

          But that's in a nutshell my experience where if you're a proficient sniper 3 hits with a bolt action at range is a big much for me. I played that money game option within warzone can't remember the name. I hit a guy in the air control tower 3 times and the 3rd one only 'knocked him' ... he bled out, but still after hitting another guy twice in a row and he left his buddy and jumped off and used the chute he was gone.

          It's the armour that's OP (for me) so given my primary play-style is always to engage at range whenever possible, it can't really hold me as the primary game in my rotation. Don't get me wrong though, getting in a game fast and having great connection etc. and smooth gameplay is great - I'm also 3 for 3 in the gulag! - all that is awesome and the game is very good, but it will be 3rd in the rotation behind dreams and pubg.

          I must overall it's much better than I thought it would be though. And on another note, I think the very reason I'm not super stoked about it is the SAME reason so many people are - I'm not seeing the using "snipers ruin the game" comments lol ... yeah that's because they're not nearly as effective a strategy even with big maps and large open spaces.

                Looking at getting COD:MW after reading through this, but how come it's still full price? That seems kinda crazy 6 months after launch, should be $39.99 somewhere, right?

                Am I missing something?

                  I got it for $49.99 at Walmart a few weeks ago. I can’t play it but I got it. These constant updates these days have ruined gaming for me. Terrible.

                        It’s like a 90GB update to even play the campaign.

                        Game is useless if your internet sucks. By the time I’d get it downloaded (not completely even) a new update would be out and it’d start over again.

                        So dumb it’s almost comical.

We finally decided it was time to game like we were 15 again. We have probably put in 13 hours of gaming in the past 48 hours, and literally are just playing Warzone.

                          We have a few dubs, but man, we all decided to bust open our old Twitch accounts and livestream and that honestly has led to some funny moments for us. We might be getting older, but I love that a video game can bring us together like they did 10 years ago.

                            They're starting to take it more seriously than I thought [emoji28] they both bought face cams and are trying to become "pro". I'm like, I am a set in stone teacher that actually gets paid well, this is just a hobby! I love those two goobs, haha.

                            We are actually not bad! We all are killing it which has made this so much fun. I think we all are averaging a K/D above 2 since this has started!

                            Then on Warzone we have quite a few dubs now

                                I played the campaign over the weekend and it was really good.

                                They should get a lot of credit for building a story around a female lead without it being forced or just for the sake of being politically correct.

                                (Looking at you DICE Sweden for making a female character with a prosthetic arm and then never even releasing the content).

                                I wish I enjoyed the MP more than I do. I like the feel of the weapons, but that's about it. Everything else has become too frustrating/campy and I don't enjoy BR games.
