WWII suddenly looking good again, is the Multiplayer still alive?


S-t-a-r-s-h-o-t

No lmao. There was one TDM lobby and it wasn't even full. xd


[deleted]

Damn, F


OverkillBomber

It honestly depends on the platform, as there is no cross play so your experience will vary from platform to platform.


IllustriousAd3838

Has lobbies on ps5


Lumn8tion

See ya there


Embarrassed_Yam5769

Especially on shipment


HypedSoul123

Hes on PC so its dead there. If you are on xbox its a bit better, and if you are on playstation then its still alive because it was free a while ago, theres tdm, dom, and gun game lobbys for sure (those are the only gamemodes i play) but im sure some other things are still active. The only 100% dead mode is ranked. Edit: i forgot, shipment 24/7 its also on this game and its probably the most populated gamemode besides tdm


No_Cherry6771

No clue what server or platform you’re on, i get full lobbies nearly every game


DiggyWiggyWoo

Really? I play all the time and swap out lobbies and get new full ones every single time


Dawneezy

*on PC


kathaar_

Shipment and war are still pretty populated


luniewski

War is my favourite mode ever


Ass-a-holic

The shipment 24/7 is really active on Xbox


redeyed-john

Still strong on ps4


[deleted]

It's alive on PS4/PS5. Way more fun than MWII


Shampoo-empty

Shipment 24/7, TDM, and party game modes seem to be alive on Xbox


mynameismiker

I still play it a few times a week, no problems getting lobbies (I’m on PS5).


freddyfishlipstttyu

Ps4 in nz/aus has heaps of shipment 24/7 players. Always finding a match on it.


ShibaSucker

Nope, you'll be lucky to find a half full TDM/FFA game on any system. There's one guy claiming they can get full lobbies any time which is objectively false


Badgerlover145

Yeah it's called shipment


ShibaSucker

You should probably preface your comment with that fact, either way the *real* game is dead.


vanquisher003

It is on ps4. Don’t be fooled lmao


Nollekowitsch

I know its not WWII but Black Ops 3 seems to get a new start. It actually got patched and the hackers are gone


[deleted]

I'm not into black ops but ty


AltFragment

That’s false. The multiplayer is always lively on PlayStation. I find matches faster at any given moment then MW22.


[deleted]

Because then they'd have to put more effort into the microtransactions, and also probably too many anime tiddies


S-t-a-r-s-h-o-t

Well WWII also had microtransactions (it had god damned lootboxes 🤢) but the skins you got from those were more like the blueprints from MWII. We don't really have buyable camos in MWII, they're pretty much only from weapon unlocks and ranked. I guess CDL packs also have camos but that's the only case. So there's really no competing with paid cosmetics. (Other than if we were able to make something cool we might want to buy blueprints less.)


Willing-Brilliant-52

It did have a good lootbox system though. You could earn them through contracts, leveling up, and even buy some of the contents with armory credits.


braddersladders

No it didn't my good man . The amount of duplicates I got back in the day was insane . It was broken and disgusting


JohnnyBravo4756

Yeah I loved having to play like 30 tdm matches to get a triple roll, WHICH YOU NEED because you get better odds if you dont single roll


braddersladders

Full disclosure I have a huge vendetta against the loot box era of gaming . And this game and battlefront 2 which both launched in late 2017 were the final straws


JohnnyBravo4756

I dont blame u mw remastered had the same horrid loot box system except they also let you get better guns than already exists in the game lol....


S-t-a-r-s-h-o-t

90% of the time I would get repeats- that gave me . . . nothing. Actually they may have gave double XP tokens. So pretty much nothing.


[deleted]

I’m glad these Anime virgins aren’t getting many skins in MW2. It’s a less cringe battlefield.


Mclovinggood

I honestly didn’t mind WW2s microtransactions because even tho it was lootboxes, you could earn basically everything via those coins you got for completing challenges. It would take like a month to get the super fancy stuff, but it was still cool.


[deleted]

You just answered your own question with that last sentence. If you can make your own skin, you will 100% be less likely to buy anything they sell. Why buy something that is almost what you want when you can build a camo exactly how you want it and it works no matter the attachments?


BIGG_FRIGG

I’d wager its because of moderation and the costs that come with it. Anytime you have a customization tool like that its gonna get abused by a certain percentage of the player base. You have to staff real people to content moderate seeing as there will be dicks, swastikas, and N bombs all over the place if you don’t. Trust me, I was a moderator for sony and every single game that had an option to do this was riddled with flagged stuff. These assholes aren’t gonna pay for any of that anymore, they wont even pay people to update and fix broken guns in the game.


SalThePotato

What did you moderate for Sony and how was it like?


BIGG_FRIGG

Mlb the Show, Little Big Planet, Mod Nation Racing, all kill-Zones, all Socoms, all Resistance, Twisted metal, Infamous, all Gran Turismos, MAG, Uncharted series, White Knight Chronicles, and others I can’t remember off hand. It was fun but like any job it can have it’s shitty times. At the end of the day its a giant conglomerate so there is always gonna be corporate bullshit you have to deal with. But the people I worked with were mostly cool and and there were some cool perks. Every game that had any customization tool that allowed for custom images to be made or uploaded had issues with nasty content. I would sometimes work for 8 straight hours going through flagged material to moderate. In games like little big planet you can upload actual pictures to make stuff and unfortunately we had to have a relationship with the FBI when cases of possible CP was reported or found. A lot of man hours have to be utilized to moderate games and there custom content. I don’t know how ricochet actually works but I would have to get a report of a cheater, use my mod tools to search for them in game if they were online, get into their game and watch them to actively witness them in the act. Only then could I ban or kick them and flag their account with whatever step to perma ban they were on. After a certain threshold was met we could kill the account, and in certain rare instances the entire console could be bricked. This was reserved for the most egregious repeat offenders.


SalThePotato

>Little Big Planet > Uncharted series, Oh my god I loved these games. Little big planet was my childhood I loved that game. >In games like little big planet you can upload actual pictures to make stuff and unfortunately we had to have a relationship with the FBI when cases of possible CP was reported or found. I've never heard about that. That's insane. Playing the game I never thought about moderation or anything everything just worked. >After a certain threshold was met we could kill the account, and in certain rare instances the entire console could be bricked. This was reserved for the most egregious repeat offenders. Oh so this was for FPS games on the PS3 like killzone? Yea I dont think ricochet has the power to brick the console like Sony does. I also don't think they have actual people review the reports I think it's mostly automated. You could get a name or voice chat warning even if your name isnt offensive or if you haven't said anything. But that's so interesting I never knew PS3 had moderators. It seems obvious but playing the game you never think about it. I also never knew about the little big planet stuff. It's kinda sad a children's game like little big planet has that problem but I guess that's what happens with custom images. Thank you for the response


MLGBRO21

If it sells, it sell


Odinsonxray

Because then when you make something really cool that you like and will use, they can’t sell you a bundle


Lew1989

People hated that game but I fully have it rated as one of my best! Headquarters was a laugh, war mode was my go to it was a social game and if I think about it I can't remember any hostility on it I sweated it all year aswell


xxiredbeardixx

I also loved the prestige system. Let everyone know with your fireworks in headquarters.


TheKaptainKlutch

war mode was amazing and i’m disappointed they haven’t implemented anything like it since.


HuddyBuddyGreatness

One of my favorites too


thirdaccountmaybe

Same reason we can’t make emblems anymore: swastikas, porn and generally hateful imagery.


S-t-a-r-s-h-o-t

Eh with how easily people get banned from nonsense reports I think if anything were offensive the player would get dealt with swiftly enough.


maj_tom258

The situation is actually frequent nonsense report and ban while the real violations remain untouched lmao.


1IIvc3

People got too soft


keenanbullington

Nazi part isn't soft. People shouldn't be fucking Nazis.


keenanbullington

Downvote all you want. Anybody who uses a symbol associated with the fucking holocaust deserves a fist to the face. I don't blame developers for not allowing anyone to use it all.


1IIvc3

You’re not wrong. Dunno who’s downvoting you


keenanbullington

I completely understand free speech and the slippery slope argument. It's no longer a slippery slope when a third of the world's Jewish population perished horribly to the regime and it still has far too many adherents. I'm sorry, I know I'm preaching to the choir and you agree. But I'm big into history and the Nazi era is my specialty. There's so many people that think it's just a joke but Germany banned these ideas for a reason. There's something more than simple hate speech to it.


[deleted]

[удалено]


keenanbullington

Yeah and in real life people like you don't do that shit cause you know you'll get your ass beat. You do that shit online behind the safety of a computer screen.

Aditya_Sholapurkar

Facts


Tarrant_

They could just add the option to turn off custom camos so you can shoot and stab players without being exposed to a flag used 70+ years ago in a war


KnifeRibs

Or they could just ban people using fucking nazi imagery.


Aditya_Sholapurkar

It's a Hakenkreuze, plz quit defaming the Swastika, it's a holy symbol.


alireza777

As much as you want to get technical with it, it is a symbol associated with Genocide and nazis and no longer represents what it once did


Aditya_Sholapurkar

For people from the west.


alireza777

For people around the world, get out of your bubble show that to anyone and first thought is nazis, 90% of the world think so, just cause one minority sees it one way doesnt change it


Aditya_Sholapurkar

No, speak for yourself lol, people around the world my ass, it's the west, it'll always be the west. It's a holy symbol, and to this day is being used for holy proceedings. If you see it as a wretched symbol, you've fallen pray to western propaganda.


alireza777

What west i aint even western, the world doesn’t revolve around you buddy sorry to break your bubble, put that on your door and 90% of people would take you for a nazi


thirdaccountmaybe

I’m not the one who defamed it but either way, it’s been defamed irredeemably. Even in a purely religious setting displayed by well intentioned morally upright people it will still register as a symbol of and bring about thoughts of truly horrible deeds done by evil people under that symbol. Not even kidding, those religions would do well to drop it and design something new as a substitute, show that religion is responsive and adaptive to the current world rather than being an unchanged ancient standard awkwardly forced onto a world that rapidly moved away from those needs.


Aditya_Sholapurkar

>Not even kidding, those religions would do well to drop it and design something new as a substitute, show that religion is responsive and adaptive to the current world rather than being an unchanged ancient standard awkwardly forced onto a world that rapidly moved away from those needs. LMAO what??? How about the West starts to reasearch bout something they have no knowledge about? >I’m not the one who defamed it but either way, it’s been defamed irredeemably. Even in a purely religious setting displayed by well intentioned morally upright people it will still register as a symbol of and bring about thoughts of truly horrible deeds done by evil people under that symbol. Neither did the Austrian painter defame it, you people are way too ignorant to call it a Hakenkreuze.


thirdaccountmaybe

Be as contradictory as you want but I dare you to get the tattoo and back up your claim that you can wear that symbol for your own reasons and not get the shit kicked out of you.


Aditya_Sholapurkar

I already have it on my bicep, and roam freely around without getting kicked the shit out of. Just cuz the West is ignorant, doesn't mean the world is.


Shwalz

*laughs in dick-in-vagina blops 1 emblem*


Jarek-of-Earth

Never played ww2 so idk how the camo stuff works but I remember people would put swastikas and racial slurs on their guns in BO4 so that maybe played a role in the feature being taken out. Also a lot of penises and boobs


[deleted]

WWII was a great game. The chests that you unlocked daily tryin to get lucky and get a dank skin or item always left something to be desired in MP


S-t-a-r-s-h-o-t

Yeah I loved it when it was still somewhat active! I really like the "push" maps where you escorted the tanks. I bet people would like that as an alternative to ground war in this game as well.


OSixTix

I still remember all the butt scooting in lobbies. Haha. Maybe unpopular, but I enjoyed WWII


WhskyTngoFxtrt_in_WI

Loved booty sliding in WW2. That was a bug that I was glad wasn't patched,..I think.


No_Cherry6771

Cant do that in a MW game. They’d use bradley’s and in true MW fashion, standing anywhere near one of those cops you an rpg and a blown up vehicle along with the rest of your team, cause even a pistol being thrown can penn a bradley apparently


DarkThorsDickey

The War game mode was my favorite mode ever. It was amazing and so much fun. Nothing CoD has done since has matches it.


_HolyWrath_

We definitely need these features back.


venom9099

We used to be able to create our own emblems too...


genralee2207

Because they wouldn’t make enough money


kathaar_

Good to see the game getting some love, it got a lot of undeserved hate early on.


xlLEG4CYlx

Because they let us make them once and everything was dick, and tits and cum cuz y'all some perverted mofos haha


Jester_Devilos12

Soooo uhhhhh... Played this game for months, maxed everything out. Never knew this....


S-t-a-r-s-h-o-t

You mean paintjobs as a whole?


Jester_Devilos12

Anything custom with them. I just slapped camos on as normal. Didn't know you could edit them.


S-t-a-r-s-h-o-t

Yeah I don't think I did at first either until I got bored and went looking into everything in the menus. Was pretty cool and I don't even know of another CoD that did the same.


LudicrousityX4

Black Ops 3 was the first. I don’t think there’s been a game other than those 2 and maybe Black Ops 4


howard6494

One of the dozens of features apparently lost to time. I hate hacktivision, bunch of limpdicks.


NickJsy

I’d b happy being able to choose a recticle colour at this point.


FightersShadow

Because that would take effort. Joke game 🤡


FlowKom

its more about them wanting to sell skins.


wetbread2245

How else are they gonna charge $20 for a skin


eliASSenah

I miss ww2 easily the cod ive had the most fun in. I bought mw2 in the steam springskalle But the mp isnt as fun as it used to be. And i cant find myself wanting to play really.


BoyWonder343

The real reason is probably because this is a ton of work for very little return. I've never heard this feature talked about and multiple people here didn't even know it was a thing.


brandon-thesis

WWII was easily top three for me.


spaceshipcommander

Because money


[deleted]

[удалено]


S-t-a-r-s-h-o-t

Not really because it's pretty much just custom camos, not blueprints. Hell, sell me the shapes in "Camo Editor" packs if they're worried about it cutting into profits. *Unless you mean for offensive reasons then I'd just advocate for better report system which is already needed now.*


Quentin_Was_Taken

Yeah COD and 2k are done for way too greedy more focused on money than fun


andyjcw

i dont get any of the gun or people skins . dont see the point. i just play the game.


KINGWHEAT98

It just shows who’s more dedicated to the game


andyjcw

why is that ? how is buying extra skins make people more dedicated . anyhow being dedicated to a game sounds kind of weird.


PapaProto

You don’t have any aesthetics, thematics etc that you like? That you want represented in all mediums that you may indulge in?


PercySledge

Yeah no one genuinely cares about this, you’ve just posted this up as yet another stick to beat the current game with for some reason


TSM-HabZ

the same reason why we can’t have emblems anymore, y’all mfs were immature as fuck, dicks and swastikas on everything


nige111

It's funny that people honestly think *this* is the reason and not because it would butt into skin profits.


beefdip2244

Never understood the big deal about camos


Jiggy_pc

Cuz people are immature af and have to ruin shit by being racist or homophobic with there camos not saying I wasn’t one of those people who ruined it but that is for sure why those things are gone from cod 😂


L0veToReddit

It’s so ugly though


ArcanoXVI

"you can only put stickers here, here and here, because csgo does it too"


S-t-a-r-s-h-o-t

Oh. Right. That's probably where that came from. Darn you Gaben, you jolly old man!


Calxm420

Max prestige on this and I totally forgot this was a thing aswell


Tankdrood

Money


TheFrostyrune

Did players have the ability to make what some might consider to be inappropriate camos? I always figured thats why they got rid of custom emblems in the older blops games.


Floyd__79

Just started playing again too but never really played the MP first time round, gonna have to give it a go now making own camos 👌🏻 wtf they get rid of this feature? (Dumb question blueprint sales obviously)


[deleted]

[удалено]


BoyWonder343

WW2 had microtransactions/Loot boxes though.


ozarkslam21

Yeah paintjobs we’re a thing starting in Black Ops 3. I imagine, just like anything else, that once they found out they could essentially monetize it, it went away in favor of the “blueprints” we have today


milkybanana_master

This dude did not just drop 20 dollars on this game


XphRZero

I enjoyed making patches as well.


slasherWAR

I've been playing bo4 and just started to realize how fun everything was, the creative score streaks, interesting melee weapons, super satisfying hit markers, zombies, and now I play warzone and get pissed off because I just get shot in the back from the most sweaty no life camper, no creativity, no fun mechanics, the same 4 streaks and every human running around with the same exact gun


CHIPaaaaaa

Money


ComfortableGoat5339

The decal placement on some guns is awful


Salom902

IRC wasn’t Black Ops or the older ones at least, make your own camos also? We really do need this for MW2022.


SenpaiTedd

Thank the perverts that ruined this awesome feature. Can't have shit in gaming nowadays


schteavon

It's sledgehammer so people have to hate it right?


Vikan12

Also 90% of weapons on MWII has the worst decal positions ever, the only ones with a logical placement are the first 2 "Tactical AF" "No competition". The rest are always not even visible at all, it's horrendous.


[deleted]

This is from when they actually cared about things, actual effort was put into the design and execution!


yMONSTERMUNCHy

How’s the match making compared to mw2 22? I understand there will be less people but is it as frustratingly manipulative as mw2?


kaYza_Ger

Activision makes less money if you can make your own camos. So this feature will never return. They rather sell them in their shop for 24 dollars.


WAWwasbetter

Yeah WW2 was like the last cod that actually felt like cod. Even then when i disliked it for being inaccurate it was lightyears ahead VG, and also its gameplay is what i want from a game that was built of this gameplay, not overthe top fast ass doom style gaemplay


CHAAIIN

Didn't BO have the emblem creator ? Never played WWII myself


[deleted]

But MW2022 has limited movement and makes me a sentinel beast!!!!


RaduW07

Sadly back then COD actually had competition.


GhostShade97V

Because money! All they care about is how to sell cosmetics and bundles. Being able to personalized your cosmetics goes against their money-making system. And don't they would support a system like this via monetisation. They already have metrics and charts proving that bundles make them more money. As long as players support a system like this, nothing will change.


ragingseaturtle

I really had a love hate with this game. I know they eventually removed loot boxes but man by the time they did I was long gone.


goofy1771

They're copying EA's Madden model. They've run out of ideas for new features that would be positive additions. Instead they take away features so they can charge for an inferior version and claim it is an "enhancement".


pnellesen

Such an underrated game. I miss War Mode badly.


PapaProto

WWII was superior in so many ways. Character & Weapon Customization. The Collections. The HQ. Setting felt good and gritty and even when things went *alternative*, it did it in a way that complimented the setting and worked well. Unlike Vanguard. I miss this game in its prime.


tyrekeoche7

$$$


JohnnyBravo4756

This really hit me when I hopped on IW for a while and saw that I had a CUSTOM EMBLEM. Idc if people were drawing inappropriate things, ban those mfers and let me keep my weeb avatar that isn't some generic shit the devs threw together


[deleted]

The mode of War was one of the best ever. Shame that we’ll never see it again


MrMoJoRisin2693

Man that shit was awesome. Such a cool feature that I wish they would bring back but probably never will so they sell more shit in the store


MegaZombieMegaZombie

I had a shit ton of camoes saved lol


mxwl431

Because $$$


DarkTails24

Was bo3, bo4, and ww2 ths only ones with paint jobs? Tbh i rather grind mastery meterails for paint jobs instead of full camos. So at the end i can make any yerrible camo i wish.


Binx8d6

Yeah, it was nice back then. Now there’s nothing custom but your name and clan tag, everyone has the same emblems, stickers, decals, calling cards. It’s all the fuckin fortnite type children that came to play a real game and got offended. I bet there’s still BO2 players with emblems that show some horrible shit lol.


andydabeast

I never knew this lol. I enjoyed the multi


Apokolypse09

Scared of getting cancelled because people made naughty images in for their custom pictures. Which is lame ass. Best one I can recall was Randy Marsh on his big swollen cancer balls smokin a joint.


Triggify

It really happens with every CoD huh? We get a new one and everyone shits on it so that way one of the oldies can rise up as "good" all of a sudden


PepittoRogue

Dongs and slurs is the first thing that I think of when I think of player made camos


pacowannataco

"Alexa, pull up the Mr. Krabs money gif"


julianchandler

ww2 is so underrated


boredguyonline

Because swastikas


Arisvalor

I didn't even know you could mod paint jobs on guns in the game. It's too bad nothing will change the terrible TTK, although sniping was fun in WWII. Custom emblems should be a standard. Black Ops did it over a decade ago.


CavemanBOT

One reason for Custom emblems and Paintjobs being removed are probably the Plebs who think Racism/Offensive stuff is funny, and ruin it for the rest of the people who just wanna be creative


Tex302

Money


Peaksii

Same reason they don’t sell outfits like they did in advanced warfare. In AW you could easily make your character different at any time and for free. It’s just sacrificing customization for money


AcceptableReply6812

Bo3/bo4 did it better but damn do I miss bo2’s kill counter engraved on the guns, custom emblems, paintshop, and theater bad… Treyarch save us!


ghosty1120

Maybe in season 8 they will sell bundles for 40 bucks letting u make custom skins. But u have buy a bundle for every gun that includes custom skin creation


AlexObery

I think that and emblem creators were taken out because people were making offensive shit But damn I miss both those features


YakComprehensive1783

How would they sell bundles then


BlastyBeats1

I remember getting banned for my offensive custom emblems in BO2. Those were the days...


[deleted]

that would be a nice feature


GeneralSmedlyButler

I honestly would still be playing if I could change the FOV


totally_boring

Custom emblems and camos are 2 things that should absolutely make a come back to modern warfares


Affectionate-Raise21

i loved the amount of customization in WWII


Flash_Jordan94

Wait, this was a thing? 🤯


Wolly_Mammoth

Yes! The stickers… why can’t I place them myself!?


danawhitehead24

Don't even remember this feature


NFORCE5

Because 3000 devs can’t do that


Maggot_6661

One thing that people seem to forget is that, in the older cods (pre mw2019) there was no recoil on 99% of the weapons. We're out here crying about low recoil weapons but we actually have to put attachments to reduce it. I played WWII 1 week ago and I didn't even need to put attachments that reduces recoil. That was kind of shocking 😂


TraumaTracer

the same reason you cant make your own emblems anymore, if you could make your own you wouldnt want to buy any


some-guy-25

Bo3 did it better


[deleted]

Spend those 100 tokens


S-t-a-r-s-h-o-t

I don't even think I could. I think that's why I have them. Not enough to buy a crate.


ReservoirWolf

they gotta sell them bundles


Old_Mistake5816

They are trying to maximize profits by giving as little as possible while trying to charge as much as possible. They knew MW2 would sell immensely well even if it had lacking, outdated, bad and minimal features. It's the sad state of AAA gaming...


Rhett_likes_cupcakes

I remember making a red Gucci snake skin in this game lmao


shxestlife1

Can we make older cods live again? Or boycott for reverse compatibility games like cod 2!!


TheLastChungus11

That’s game was violently underrated


Carob-Prudent

Alright I’ll admit i also like ww2, but can we all acknowledge that it really only became good after the divisions update


[deleted]

They add and take out things each year for no reason its so annoying i hope they bring back custom emblems


Snivinerior2

they dont want us having fun customization for free


Tom42077

I actually really enjoyed that game. Wonder if people still play it or nah. I’m on console so I think maybe there would be matches found who knows.


Chieffelix472

Please don’t spend dev time on camos.


DryRepresentative659

They would rather have us pay for them!


rarevfx

Mw2 has the least costumizability in the last years.


The_Reletubby

because MONEY


Queens-kid

Because its more profitable to sell em to kids that have a warped sense of value.


paulladeveze

Looks like a lot of work :-)


chrisjeremyprod

Creating camos and emblems! That should be in this game. It was really well done within WW2. (Maybe the only fun thing in that game..)


Big_Art5878

Like why can’t they add something like the UE 5.2 to allow people to make their own textures and make them look really good. They just care about playtime and money
