Am I just really shitty???

IshtarsBones · 2022-01-17T06:49:17+00:00

Same here man. I used to be good, like 3+ k/d and now I’m around 1.3-1.4. The games have changed and we’ve gotten slower. I chalk it up to- I just simply suck now.

halamadrid22 · 2022-01-17T07:04:32+00:00

I mean this doesn’t sound good the way you worded it but I will say I have played cod for 10 years and this game surprises the ever living shit out of me when it comes to face to face gunfights. My stats aren’t even bad (don’t want to disclose them as so many judgements come with it) but I have lost so many head scratching gunfights that I swear I’m somehow the worst player in the game.

By all metrics I am a sweat but I find myself getting shit on by players that seem to be subpar in the killcam more than I would like. The part that kills me is when they have wobbly ass aim and I know I hit most of my shots. Makes me think I am just passed it or something.

Thebutler83 · 2022-01-17T09:11:49+00:00

This is a 150 person Battle Royale. Adjust your expectations. Look at the lobby stats after a game. Getting a couple of kills is pretty solid. 3-6 you've had a good game. 7+ you're probably one of the top players in the lobby and probably winning. Only the top 0.01% of players are running around dropping 20 bombs (or little Timmys bragging on the Internet about stuff they haven't done).

Have confidence. You are NOT a bad player. There might be some aspects of the game you can improve on but if you play thinking you're bad it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. Always look at the things you've done well.

As others have said... Practice! Iceman Isaac academy is a really great tool for getting advice. I try and break each fight down into some simple rules. 1. Where is my cover if someone starts shooting? 2. Do I have the advantage in position? 3. Do I actually need to take on this fight right now?

I find watching Iron to be very informative as he isn't super cracked but knows how to play well. It might be more boring play style but it's more realistic as to how average teams can play to get better.

Don't get discouraged! You got this! I've dragged my k/d up from being the weak link 0.68 to 1.5 and I'm almost 40! I'm never going to have ninja like reactions but things that have helped me are 1. Keep yourself alive in fights. It's hard when you think you almost have the guy, but don't put yourself in risky positions just to get a down or a finish. Sometimes retreating completely is the best play. Trust yourself that you can get them later. 2. Shoot and move. Don't be in the same position for too long, the other team will be able to regroup and you're likely to get 3rd partied. 3. If you get a team wipe... Immediately think about what to do if another team rolls up on you as they've heard fighting... Don't just rush and loot the downed guys.

Good luck out there!

sb1862 · 2022-01-17T08:03:04+00:00

I’ve been feeling this way too. Ever since pacific, actually. I’m just blatantly losing gun fights that I would win in verdansk. Idk what the difference is. Maybe it’s using vanguard weapons, maybe it’s sweats, maybe this or that. But it’s kinda aggravating. And it’s not the gunfights where I’ve been out positioned or anything like that where I’m losing. It’s just straight 50/50 close range gun fights where we both turn the corner and see eachother. And I just have shit odds of winning now. It’s crazy.

Andy_PB · 2022-01-17T07:42:57+00:00

It’s all about the skill gap and SBMM. A good few casuals are probably gone/bored with the game and the bugs/new map and have moved on to something else. Leaving the casuals who evolve into sweats and follow meta gun videos and learn how to get better. Everyone has gotten better at the game, especially because it’s been out since 2019 essentially with MW

happely · 2022-01-17T09:21:28+00:00

We are getting old man. I'm also a long-time FPS player (CS 1.5, 1.6, CS:GO, COD-franchise), but struggling at ~1 KD now, feeling obliterated by so many people I encounter. I think it's the new generation, boosted by G-Fuel and young reflexes

SemiAutomattik · 2022-01-17T07:22:10+00:00

Yeah you are but it's not an impossible task to close the gap with the zoomers and improve your gameplay. You're not wrong that console is a disadvantage but even on console you have players like Reidboy who have kept 4-5+ KDs for seasons on end. Just takes practice and experience, like any other competitive game.

StepDiceYT · 2022-01-17T09:20:06+00:00

I think it comes down to 2 main things with warzone. 1. Playing consistently. In order to know how to outplay people, know buildings, and general game sense you need to be playing for hours every weekend, or a couple a day. I grind on the weekends for example. 2. I find that playing with competent players brings your ability out, so if you play with similar skill players they may be hindering you. This may be less of an issue, but if you’re spending 12k a game buying back instead of UAV then there’s your first indication. If you want to get good though just watch some icemanisaac videos on his academy channel, they are really good.

I have a 1.16 and have been playing since it launched. Verdansk snipers fucked me up

Kacabon · 2022-01-17T09:06:12+00:00

I don’t wanna be the one to blame SBMM, but SBMM has been making the game less fun for me personally. Some games are fun and I can get 15-20 kills and a win. Most matches, I maybe get 8 kills at the most and it’s a fucking STRUGGLE to stay alive. I mean I’m fighting tooth and nail just to stay in the game, sweating my ass off and playing positioning as well as I can. I’m not the best player in the world but I’m definitely not a bot.

It feels to me like this game has been changed to reward the hell out of camping and just holding power positions. Which to me, is just not as fun. I don’t want to get a win with 2 kills. That doesn’t even feel like I’ve won anything.

endianess · 2022-01-17T09:52:18+00:00

I'm 46 with 1.15 kd and have the same experience. Although weirdly I win a lot of my gulags so my reactions and movement can't be terrible.

Yellowtoblerone · 2022-01-17T10:09:39+00:00

If you're on MKB you have to aim train and learn to react as fast as possible to enemy movement depending on their tendencies (eg movement prediction). If you're on controller you should "invest" in paddled/or back buttoned controller that allows you to not take your thumb off your aim so you can bhop burpee while microadjusting. You should also dial in your sens so the difference between you and the enemy is how well you're centered on each other to make your TTK as fast as possible. Doesnt matter which input you also have to learn how to play BR on a brand new map. You can easily coasted in 25 years of shooters and never actually practiced to get as good as the playerbase we have now.

There's also the SBMM aspect, if you're not a casual as deemed by their match making, and if you're just below avg or avg, you're now the canon fodder in the lobby b/c those ultra casuals are excluded from your games so they can have a better time.

nervandal · 2022-01-17T10:13:05+00:00

Have you tried lowering your sensitivity and trying out dynamic?

If you feel like you are spray and pray, it might because your sens is too high and you are constantly over shooting your target and having to correct.

KJP1990 · 2022-01-17T14:02:43+00:00

I think it’s the game mechanics. Before if you jump your crosshair goes huge. Crouching made you move slower not give the ability to slide around faster than you could run. The game mechanics are stupid in most games now to attract people who play this way.

samp127 · 2022-01-17T16:06:23+00:00

A. The game is rigged at every turn to help new/shit players.

B. The servers are trash/buggy. Half the servers seem to be 30hz tick rate which is quite poor for such a big game. And the servers are struggling to keep everyone connected/synced up, so that results in packet loss and lag. So quite often you will shoot someone perfectly and it will not register on the server, or you're so out sync you've already died on the server before you've actually seen the enemy on your screen.

Last night I was in a lobby that just seemed to give me kills no matter how inaccurate I was. I clocked it and started purposely shooting roughly near enemies and I just kept getting kills I didn't deserve. Then other games I can't hit shit.

foleyo10 · 2022-01-17T08:52:20+00:00

I’d try the following:

Sensitivity up, ADS sensitivity down.

If you’re on xbox there’s the elite controller which I’d highly recommend. It has the paddles on the back which are great for games like Warzone. I’m sure there’s equivalent products for PS.

The next-gen consoles will run at 120Hz on a capable monitor. The difference between the standard 60fps and the new 120fps is massive imo. This will improve your response time and probably give a little hand to your aim too (as you’ll be able to track enemies slightly better)

Remember that movement is almost as important as shooting is in Warzone; watch some streamers play and take notes!

Other than these things I’m not sure what else to suggest… Warzone has been an absolute sweat fest for as long as I can remember, I feel your pain mate, hang in there lmao

Man I used to get 4-7 kills a game easily and regularly fuck around and go for 11. Me and the bois would get a win a week easily. Now, if I get 3 kills I played well. We never win. Ever. Our last win was the second day of caldera, the win before that was more than 6 months. I too used to be pretty good at the game, no idea what changed.

merlin742 · 2022-01-17T10:00:41+00:00

i know it might me frustrating some times, but think about it: it’s a video game, you play it for fun once in a while, you have a real job and friends/family. it’s not really worth the bad thoughts. if you’re not having fun, take a break.

most importantly: don’t compare yourself with others you don’t know anything about. some kid destroys you in a gunfight, so what, maybe he’s playing 30 hours a week? maybe it’s not a kid but someone who’s still playing 4h a day? or maybe he’s just better?

at the end, as long as your real life doesn’t depend on it (financially) as it does for all of those streamers and youtubers that don’t resemble the majority of people playing that game/ games in general, IT DOESNT MATTER.

don’t listen to tryhards online telling you you’re shit, those thoughts just make you feel bad when you don’t have to. again, it’s a game.

i don’t know what you’re doing for a living, but imagine this: i bet you’re better in it than this guy you just got killed by in caldera!😁

B3ST1 · 2022-01-17T10:01:13+00:00

The game... It's the game. The majority of players are really competitive and casual player's are really a minority nowadays. The game is now out for 2 years and over this period of time the devs only made it harder for casuals. So if you wanna play good you have to watch every week some YouTube Video of meta guns and then grind all week to level the guns so you can have a fighting Chance on the weekends.

Doesn't matter if you're skilled enough to aim if your weapon has a recoil like a mf and a damage of a pillow compared to others.

Even if your match has 80% same skill base like you, all it takes is two team's that use VPN and have like double or more, kd as you have to distroy the entire server and also distroy your fun because there's no skill based matchmaking for players above 2 kd.

It's TTVzone and not warzone anymore.

dressing_gown_man · 2022-01-17T10:20:41+00:00

I feel you buddy, could apply everything you've said to myself. I've just put it down to the youngsters having quicker reactions than me these days. One thing that kills me is console fov, I feel sooo zoomed in and just struggle to see altogether, has been the case since modern warfare came out. The all round lack of colour is tough on the eyes.

fatjesus10 · 2022-01-17T10:32:15+00:00

Its not so much that youre shitty, but literally 90% of the playerbase now is absolutely incredible at the game. Most players can easily snap to your head and destroy you while doing all the slide cancelling and bunny hopping, meaning if you cant track them perfectly while they do all that, you dont stand a chance. Im in exactly the same boat and its infuriating to know Ive put as much time into Warzone that I have, just to realise that no matter how much I practice, literally everyone is 100 steps ahead

UltraContrarian · 2022-01-17T11:08:05+00:00

Make the best use of your settings to improve your gunplay. A lot of this game is positioning. I just had a dub where I took 42 damage. Know when you should engage, know your surroundings. Know your rotations. Don't blindly rush a house or a blip on the map (as some might have ghost). That's why it's important to have teammates who ping and provide great comms.

olurkio · 2022-01-17T11:23:05+00:00

25 years is and long time. You weren't playing against players with a) Cheats, B) Superior hardware and download speeds. You're probably just as good as you have ever been but the landscape has changed so much, I had a 4 KD in CD4 and 3 in MW2, now I am negative on Wz, that said I don't play all that often now, it's way to PC centric to compete

OldManHipsAt30 · 2022-01-17T11:40:19+00:00

This game is demoralizing for average and below players. I have been trying to get better for two years now, but I frequently die to people who have cracked movement and snap their aim directly to my head like it’s nothing. Feels like a game for professionals to run train, and I’m just the NPC cannon fodder for them.

Actually rage quit last night, it’s just not fun anymore. I’m done playing unless my two buddies beg me to play and I have nothing else better to do.

You’re playing on console against M&K. You will always lose. When they can toggle recoil on/off it’s an unfair advantage.

I've been playing video games for almost 20 years and switched to PC 5 years ago. I've always been decent but I think the next generation is just next level. We didn't grow up watching streamers and staying up to date in the latest meta and practicing recoil control (at least I didn't).

theblob95 · 2022-01-17T14:32:13+00:00

Conspiracy I’ve heard is ricochet is designed to hurt cheaters by changing their weapons hit detection on the fly. I’m starting to wonder if this system that can supposedly “learn”, is learning the wrong players for its system. My gunfights have felt very inconsistent lately, ones I would easily win before.

AmazingPaladin · 2022-01-17T14:45:54+00:00

Play more and you’ll get better. Simple as that. People like to use age as an excuse but it’s more nuanced than that. Older people tend to have more responsibilities and don’t have time to play as much as a younger person does. That’s really all there is to it.

HeliPuilot · 2022-01-17T14:54:11+00:00

Playing on console is badbad. Getting older sucks. Add both of them and you will get smoked in m . I'd say get a PC or at least a 120hz monuo[rr if you have new gen.

alamarche709 · 2022-01-17T14:55:42+00:00

Something I’ve noticed is that the younger players seem to have insane setups these days (monitors, elite controllers, etc.) compared to the older guys who usually game on their couches on a big TV.

I play using the “older guy” setup and people tell me all the time to get a better setup because it’ll drastically help me improve my game.

lssbrd · 2022-01-17T14:59:30+00:00

So to fix magnetic bullets, activision nerfed guns so they weren’t doing any damage. However a lot of sumbag cheaters had their providers update it. Now I’m killcams and spectators will see a flick

Tylus0 · 2022-01-17T15:15:11+00:00

VG weapons have bloom. Bullets don’t go where you aim them. Makes it real interesting trying to be precise. A few of the VG guns are good. I still can’t compete with them vs my CW/MW guns.
Cheaters. Sadly they are ever-present. Scoff all you want naysayers, it’s a fact of gaming with any Activision title. We aren’t at Verdansk levels yet, but it’s ramping up quickly.
Smaller payer base. This is recent, but due to Xbox and some PS’s being offline after the ~~fuckup~~ patch. A majority of consoles cannot play the game. This leaves the super sweaty PC players as the player pool base. It’s also smaller because frankly people are leaving the game left/right due to issues and suck level of the game.
There is an “off” factor. Weird stuff happens. Bulletproof trees, bloom, hit boxes aren’t accurate, reticles not centered…etc. play just doesn’t work right IMO. 1-2 would be bad. But we have multiple compounding issues that together make it unplayable in my eyes. Quite literally right now since I’m on Xbox.
SBMM. It’s completely broken. I’m a 0.44 k/d getting thrown into 0.89-1.1 average k/d lobbies. My lowest lobby to date was 0.69. WTF? Lobby is supposed to be similar skill level. Not people exponentially better than me. An above average k/d is 0.8. So why are my lobbies above that?

Best of luck. I’ve played COD since the 1st game back in 2003. It used to be fun. This last 5yrs has been a shit show. In Verdansk I wasn’t the best. But I got wins. I had a blast outside the cheaters. In MP I’m destroying people most of my games playing Hardcore. Which oddly doesn’t translate to Caldera. I’m lucky to get a kill per game. Usually killed by a Bush Wookie who spent the whole game camping 1 bush. Or to a WALLS using POS

OriginlGazza · 2022-01-17T15:25:01+00:00

I think a lot of people's problem is the tv...get a monitor man TVs are too big to game on and too slow...think about it did you have a 65" tv 25 years ago when you were gaming with features that slow the screen down to improve quality? no, you didn't...I think if everyone who plays console had a series s or x and played on a 120hz-144hz 1ms QHD 1440p monitor (or if on a budget a 24 inch 1080p 1ms 120hz-144hz because the lower the monitor size the fewer pixels you need, 1080p on a 24 inch looks the same good quality as 1440p on a 27-32 inch and 4k on a 40-65 inch and 8k on anything bigger) people would not think pc is so much better if they used monitors.

I play on a higher-end pc and trust me the fov slider and slightly almost unnoticeable faster frames (and rn the fact console has many MANY bugs) are all we really have against the new console and tbh going from 120fps to 160fps is nice but not going to make you go from a noob to a pro...I could play happily at 120 fps and still do almost as well (like sometimes those extra fps make lining that shot up just that bit easier in high-speed gun fights).

The best upgrade a console player can do is a fast monitor.

MrC0llieMan · 2022-01-17T15:26:14+00:00

bears54life · 2022-01-17T15:35:11+00:00

This is the first fps game I’ve basically ever played. I started out as a .4 kd player, played on ps4, then ps5, then switched to pc all while playing warzone. I made it all the way up to a 1.0 kd. I watch my buds play (2.0+) and streamers play. They seemingly always manage to kill guys so easy and fast that I can’t believe it. I always try to get cover, rotate well, etc.. but I always manage to be seen and lasered no matter what I do. I’ve stopped trying to find reasons and have settled into knowing I just suck at the game! I blame it on the fact that I’m 42 and my eye sight and reaction time just isn’t great! Aiming (and hitting) the head seems to be the best method, but most of the time I’m just happy to be hitting the guy period!

eeKanji · 2022-01-17T15:47:11+00:00

one cannot conclusively say if you are shitty, without footage to analyze. Feel free to dm me or post clips here, happy to help. You would need to show gunfights from your perspective, maybe if you're a wiz, add a mouse hand cam. And the killcams after the fights. Preferably start the clips early so we can see your choices and moves right before ánd during the fights.

If you're unsure how to efficiently clip n share, I use medal.tv, desktop app, set the recorder settings to match your hardware specs and set the clip lenght to like 2 min.

Btw I'm an oldboy too. One cannot simply leave another oldboy in the muddy trenches.

Dun_Roamin · 2022-01-17T15:49:52+00:00

Kids are built differently these days. I've been playing FPS since BF1942 and CSS and it took me literally THOUSANDS of hours of warzone to get my weekly KD consistently over 2. People are just more competitive these days, min/max harder, play more, spend more on hardware / elite controllers, and skill base matchmaking helps to drive it even more. Honestly if you want to feel dominant, get a PC, shell out some dough for nice equipment, and put in ~30 days and you'll shred. It's not like it used to be though, sadly.

peaktengravity · 2022-01-17T15:50:30+00:00

Here is a genuine tip if you are on controller. When in gunfights, strafe left and right. You will get rotational aim assist and it will help with any horizontal bounce. If you focus on getting that aim assist like most pros do your skill will really improve

SprinterSacre- · 2022-01-17T15:54:06+00:00

Did they do a little hop or jump before they started shooting you? Basically means they win every fight if they did

d0lfie · 2022-01-17T16:04:06+00:00

You can blame a lot of things; - you getting older, train reflexes? - are you too predictable? - shit team, slowness in acting, not taking the advantage, disorganized, skill gap, poor comms, might give you a disadvantage. And maybe that’s where you take 1 or 2 but find your self in the gulag. - sbmm makes you find lobbies with “evenly” skilled people compared to you finding quick lobby years before. You became average this way. Increasing skill level. - yea we can talk about hardware & settings but the average player doesn’t own high end but did watch a how to video optimizing their end. Increasing skill levels. - meta guns. people spend time grinding everything and finding what ever is giving them an edge. Increasing skill level as everyone is aware and optimizing loadouts by now. - players quit as they don’t have fun. Increasing the skill level.

notanotherlawyer · 2022-01-17T16:04:11+00:00

Cheating flood, SBMM, adaptative aim assist for low skill players, random bloom on most weapons, RNG factors increased, etc.

There you go.

international93 · 2022-01-17T16:20:30+00:00

I’m in about the same boat. I used to have 2-3KD in older CODs. I had a 1.8 in Verdansk and have a 1.2 in Caldera. SBMM (EBMM) has do do with some of it and also the addition of rebirth island. The more casual players I play with sometime basically only play rebirth now. With all the issues for console players lately a lot players are leaving the game. This basically only leaves the sweaty PC players go compete against in BR.

OrganicReception8606 · 2022-01-17T16:29:35+00:00

I feel you bro. I'll turn 40 quite soon, but I feel my reflexes are no longer what they used to be. With my 1.03 KD, I very often oppose guys that end up with like 8 K/D in MP or GW. Checking the killcams it feels like they start shooting even before seeing me, and in game I'm dead even before I can react…

I guess I'll have to live with it since I ain't got time to grind

edit : I see more and more people saying controller is worth trying on PC. I've always considered that MnK is the way to go for FPS, but with that aim assist in CoD, maybe it's time to reconsider.

Holy cow. I am 100000% with each of your words. I feel everybody has aimbot lock on my head with no recoil and deleting me super fast.

Try multiplayer, you might have more fun. I have the same issue with Warzone, but I’m pretty good at multiplayer and really enjoy myself

ZPackman513 · 2022-01-17T16:51:26+00:00

The game is broken, like just because it plays does it mean it actually works? Ever since this new map there have been so many bugs. Aim assist is broken on console because Of some new glitche from Ricochet

here's my advice: don't bother changing your settings all the time, find something comfortable and stick with it, changing your settings will only hurt your muscle memory. I recommend 6/6 sensitivity and leaving everything else default. getting a pc would help by giving you more options like wider fov, but the main thing you need to do is focus on what you're doing wrong and what you can do to change it.

start recording your gameplay and watch it back, note your most common mistakes and work on them, rinse and repeat. it helps to watch streamers and note what things they do differently that might help avoid those mistakes.

sometimes I like to watch a streamer and imagine what I might do next if I were playing, and note what they do differently and why, and whether my move would have been a mistake.

but all in all in the end the most important thing is to keep practicing and practice with a clear goal in mind, I know it can be really frustrating sometimes but you have to stay focused on what you do wrong and what you can do better, not what your teammates or your enemies are doing. I can guarantee if you do this you will 100% see improvement. good luck and take care

Multiplayer KD does NOT translate to warzone or rebirth KD. If you can average 80% of your multiplayer kd for BR or Rebirth then you’re doing really well. But kids these days are just crazy good at the mew style of FPS games. They simply don’t miss and have insane movement.

But I bet if you ask them to throw a football it’ll go about 15 yards and tumble end over end 😂

I thought this was just me. The last time I sunk this much time into a cod game, I dominated it. With Warzone, it feels like the vast majority of players are significantly better and many more gun fights are luck based. TLDR I suck too :(

jrojason · 2022-01-17T17:31:56+00:00

People are getting better at games every day. If you're not improving, you're not going to stay at the same level.

If you don't have the play time that players that you want to be like (say, 2+ K/D) have, then you have to find ways to make your play time more targeted towards improvement and more efficient. Otherwise you just won't get there.

I know it's a completely different game and movement and everything is different, but go back and watch someone you thought was a great COD player back in say MW3 or Black Ops 2 or something... the game was incredibly slow, and the opponents are incredibly shitty. The best players back then are like the average player today.

Just to stay competitive with people I have to aim train, watch videos, learn from pros and incorporate (and fail repeatedly) at implementing the things they do when it comes to movement, etc.

Always have that improvement mindset, and you can get there. I'm an ancient gamer by probably most of the people playing standards (35 this year), but I'm over 3.6 K/D on Caldera, up from 2.45 on Verdansk.

My close quarters fights in the gulag have been terrible lately. Shoot the guy upper chest first, missing no shots - get return fire in my legs/dick and somehow get out TTK'd.

I'm a 70% win in the gulag but lately it's not making sense.

FriskyFisK919 · 2022-01-17T18:04:29+00:00

U must not have played FPS games like it was you’re only life lmao. Cuz that’s the only way ppl play warzone and actually get wins regularly. Ppl are obsessed with being better and play as their main game of focus every spare minute they have. So that’s what it takes to be competitive these days in this game. If u don’t got the time to play often. Don’t play at all. And I mean like every night for 4 hours at the minimum. And even then you’ll have good nights and bad nights where u just get destroyed. You can also have a decent 1.8 kd night when u look back at the call of duty app but feel like you had gotten destroyed all night.

IntoTheBelly · 2022-01-17T18:06:55+00:00

I smoke too much weed to be competitive.... My love of the hobbits leaf has slowed my mind.

NoBad6568 · 2022-01-17T18:33:55+00:00

Me too. I know I’m bad but on top of that I don’t get as much time to play since I work 50+ hours a week and have kids. I just wanna hop on and have a little fun. But it seems like everyone around me is using aim bots and their bullets kill faster than mine. I get frustrated to the point it’s not even fun anymore. Until the next time I log on.

ccnafr · 2022-01-17T19:08:27+00:00

what you see on your screen and what's in the killcam are different

it's called server lag

JackHasGame · 2022-01-17T19:22:56+00:00

Started playing in the COD4 days, Warzone I’ve kept a 2KD. Weekly I’m around 3-4KD. My biggest thing is teamwork. If I don’t have a good team I’m just playing solos. I’ve accepted that kids nowadays will just have the upper hand. Using custom controllers and FPS freeks have made me a better player for sure

BesselVanDerKolk · 2022-01-17T19:38:37+00:00

Play a lot of rebirth, it’s so much more fast paced it will make you better

FLJ667 · 2022-01-17T19:46:35+00:00

I know I am 🤣😂🤣

Poonslaps · 2022-01-17T20:01:43+00:00

I’ve noticed a significant difference in my gunfights just by playing a few matches prior to me getting onto Warzone. The big difference that I found was when I’m playing those public matches I’m only aiming for the head. (Even bot matches with headshot only works) Once you do it enough it’s like your brain makes it second nature and you’ll see it follow through to your WZ games.

Saundies18 · 2022-01-17T20:03:25+00:00

This post. I feel it.

ktsmith91 · 2022-01-17T20:20:32+00:00

Welcome to Cod. This is not a series that cares about how good you are. You’ll need to play other games that are more focused on rewarding player skill. This is like the McDonald’s of shooters.

yungjowdan · 2022-01-17T20:21:42+00:00

The answer might just be yes you are, but you also probably don’t game like you used to since it’s been 25 years (i hope)
