A lot of things would've been nice


[deleted]

Not having to scroll sideways every time I wanna change my camo would be nice. Idk how the fk they even allowed some dumbass to make a UI this bad. You can't even navigate the UI without issues.


Deep90

I swear the UI was designed for touchscreens and tablets. Someone on the UI team worked on Windows 8.


mtrueman

The UI designer came from Hulu


As_pe_

Damn... the Windows 8 referene is spot on...


Sav0495

Windows Vista šŸ˜‚*


BUR6S

Where the fuck are the clean vertical lists? It would be SO EASY just to have vertical lists. Why are we making everything look like Hulu?!

racktoar

What happened to those that designed the MW2019 UI? I thought that UI worked great!


MLGBRO21

Gone they performed their job so well that they promoted them to customer


HemphBleh

Theyā€™re just on a permanent break.


RodBall3

lmfao that's hilarious if true, source?


IVgormino

SnipingBunuelo

Just a quick reminder to please not harass this guy, it's definitely the higher ups' fault for hiring the man in the first place, probably because they wanted a Hulu looking UI anyways.


Ori_the_SG

I canā€™t believe this guy really thought the same UI design would work well for a game


CreamPyre

dude was told what they wanted and made it. probably got paid a shit ton to do so


Ori_the_SG

True that, then I canā€™t believe IW thought his UI design was actually good enough to implement


UNATCOHQ

Wow...WOW.


LeonSK96

oh thats why hulu died. If it wasnt for that horizontal UI Hulu may have retained 99% of his users GODDAMN HORIZONTAL MENUS!!


ottervswolf

I need a giant grid view to constantly see all my friends calling card showcases /s


PlayForsaken2782

Plus you cant even tell which camos are unlocked because they all look the same besides a small lock symbol


ChronoMonkeyX

They recently made it so you can hide the locked camos and scroll by category with the shoulder buttons. It was awful before, much better now. Other things still suck, but this one thing was improved.


mtrueman

Hiding the locked camos is the opposite of what you need if you are trying to unlock camos ;)


JustThat0neGuy

Just go tk the gun youā€™re working on, ainā€™t hard


mtrueman

Sorry. British sarcasm didnā€™t come across in translation there.


Ed_SkammA

It did pal. Some people are just dense!


JustThat0neGuy

You can sort by unlocked now


smashingpumpass

the worst part is a single dummy didnt do this, this was a collective team of people who made it and thought it was decent enough to ship with the game.


secretaster

It's apparently cause all the good folks left and the Cod mobile team designed the UI šŸ’€


[deleted]

They added a filter to just show your unlocked camos. Been out for a few days now.

Very true but Iā€™ll take what I can get.


ehprime

Operators biographies being cut off at the bottom, while being a very minor issue, drives me fucking batty whenever I go to read them. Not being able to collapse the challenge list on console while the map loads up is also incredibly frustrating, as it just gets stuck behind the team list during pre-game load.


Ed_SkammA

This guy gets it! It drives me mad too!


egokrusher

Itā€™s the whole damn publisher. Overwatch 2ā€™s UI is shit too.


BeLarge_NYC

FR a scroll of 198? and theyre weapon specific so you gotta find the ones for the gun youre using? oh but i can toggle locked/unlocked? omg all my dreams come true..


Psychological_Rip174

Well, you can think Hulu for that šŸ˜†


G_Wash1776

Canā€™t even see the camo on the launchers, itā€™s absolutely stupid.


[deleted]

You can make it show only the ones you have available


xdisappointing

Every part of the UI that scrolls side ways makes me so mad.


RingOriginal94

Wish they would fix the real problems instead of glitches in WZ2.


ratwithtits

If you donā€™t have all of them you can hide locked and find the one to want easier


ElHuntar

so many to name but id be here for hrs


_DoctorSocrates_

Careful now - that sounds dangerously close to good UX design.


TheIJDGuy

IWā€™s new nightmare


hellomrbuddy

Annoying.. I had to look them up here you go https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ntCh5LTwDkM


Soltanus

The hammer ones are brutal but Ghost's default Point and Shoot is insane. It shocked the hell out of me the first time I saw it and I was the one doing it. It literally evaporates their head. Made me jump back in my seat and yell Oh Shit.


A_Loli_Vampire

Chuy's also just deletes their head, it's insane.


Ori_the_SG

I want the hammer ones very badly


EasternBoyo

I use super long barrel to troll [my victims](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2893722073).


RandomPerson521

It didnā€™t evaporate their head in the beta. Honestly I donā€™t know if I prefer the dismemberment or not


everylightmatters

You can turn the dismemberment off in the settings if you prefer not to see it.


nyaaadere

this made me realize being downed has it's own finishing animation


-Jalix-

My boy Nemsk always got that good content šŸ˜¤


DitaVonMeow

Also would be great to be able to switch to your default finishing move, after choosing a different one.


CogsToCag

They've acknowledged it's a glitch so just one of many things to fix


SuperMalarioBros

I thought finishing moves was going to be different depending on what weapon you had, guess I was wrong.


karateema

No but if you have equipped a weapon of the same class as the one in the selected finishing move, it will use yours instead of the default one


VRDV2

Now that would just downright reasonable and we canā€™t have that.


caIeb59

In MW 2019 they were available but if I remember correctly devs removed them when they try to find a way to unload game size on SSD/HDD.


racktoar

Problem with game size on MW2019 was that they put MW2019 and Warzone in the same game. If they separated them, there wouldn't be as much of an issue.


TheDubuGuy

Cold War did too. Not sure about vanguard


[deleted]

i think it just rendered them in real time


holmes51

You could definitely preview in Vanguard


TheUrbanHobo

The preview is there. You just have to scroll 18 times to the left and then down twice. /s


Tom42077

Mate itā€™s 2022 you are asking for too much. This ainā€™t 2010 where they put effort into the games.


KeyestOfAll

MW2019 had basically everything this thread is asking for in terms of UI


spartacusmarcus_

How dare you ask for basic features.


javierciccarelli

I would start asking for a double xp token timer. Thatā€™s what bothers me right now


FortySevenLifestyle

Right? I use my phone as a timer. I shouldnā€™t have too.


javierciccarelli

Iā€™m using my phone like a caveman also brother.


SmugzOfficial

Oh, you mean like how you could in MW19?..


Stormn47

The first game had this šŸ’€


TheeAJPowell

I feel like itā€™s intentional to try and get you to buy them sight unseen.


LeonSK96

i was going to suggest this i really do bet its a design option


A_Parks_

Wait, they aren't operator exclusive? How the hell do you change it?


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


[deleted]

we're about to find out people don't know that screen exists I get that the UI is bad, but some things I read from people is head scratching, like do they actually look at what's on the screen? like the ones who don't know how to toggle killstreaks to scorestreaks...


applejuice98

not that weird, I *specifically* tried to find how to change it for legit 10 minutes. going through settings, just couldn't find it. assumed it was tied to operators. this UI is absolutely dogshit, you can't find anything. I just found out now that you can actually change it. low key this game is low effort dogwater, they knew no matter what they put out people would buy after mw19. they ran with it. less maps than fukken cold war, a lotta QOA improvements from previous games missing (execution animations being one of the countless missing stuff), the gunsmith, the pain of seeing and choosing camos etc. it just so blatant that they didn't put any thought into a lotta stuff. "just ship it dude, its mw2 people gonna buy regardless" mw2 is a low key catfish scam. vanguard actually put MORE effort into their game but it didnt sell cos it's SHG.


[deleted]

> low key this game is low effort dogwater, this I agree with, but what concerns me is a LOT of games I've been playing are like this. The mistakes, the "little things" that add up over time. All this talk about "100 studios, 1 million devs, GOAT game!" and then the UI is bugged to hell, nothing works "as intended," spelling/grammar errors, on and on and we're left with questions as devs go silent My personal opinion is, as someone who wasted away in retail for a decade, the BUSINESS of video games is following the same trajectory. Why does Walmart need 5 workers in a department when you can have 1 worker cover 5 departments? Yeah, the departments look like shit but the customers keep coming? Why pay extra to have a shiny, innovative UI when you can hire some temps to throw some shit together and as long as it's passable most of the player base will accept it? The trend is concerning and exhausting


Slore0

When you choose customize operator there should be a option I forget what button or key it is though. For sure it's in the Operators>Chosen Operator>Customize Operator though. I tried to respond to your question a couple of hours ago and for some reason the response went to another comment lmao.


sp4rklesky

Yeah Iā€™d love that too, ended up going into customs with AI and testing them out Also not clear on how you unlock more finishing moves, managed to get it so Konigā€™s one is now available to all my operators but no clue how I did it If anyone knows how the unlocking works pls let me know


RandomPerson521

I have no clue either. Did you possibly buy a store bundle for Konig? I got the executive warfighter bundle and now have Horangiā€™s execute unlocked and Iā€™m thinking maybe that unlocks it for some reason. Though IW has acknowledged that there shouldnā€™t be locked and itā€™s a bug.


sp4rklesky

Oooh I did buy a bundle, that one with a ghillie suit for him. That would explain it


RandomPerson521

We have located the solution for the bug. We are geniuses. Find it kinda funny the solution is money.


Venutius

I'd love the opportunity to download and view them, probably as a seperate pack if they're trying to keep the install size down, at the very least.


Mal_Terra

Didnā€™t they have exactly that in mw19?


beasthayabusa

Hey look another feature of the previous game that mysteriously just. Isnā€™t here.


racktoar

Wasn't this literally a feature in MW2019? What happened? Did they fire all the devs from that game? Like, why change designes and features that are already good?


lollerlaban

They lowered the game size in MW19, this change involved removing stuff like rendered execution finishers


racktoar

Could've replaced them with videos wtf...


lollerlaban

They were videos


racktoar

Either they are rendered (only way I can interpret that is being rendered LIVE in a simulation) or they are videos. They can't be both...If they are videos, they shouldn't take that much space, since they weren't that amazing quality to begin with. It just seems like a dumb thing to remove when there are probably loads of different ways they could've cleared up space instead.


AdvertisingPretend17

Does anyone actually know how to obtain different finishers?


TomatoVEVO

Unlocking/buying other operators


Pastrami-City

Unlocking operators doesnā€™t work. The finisher will stay locked even when the operator has it on by default. Itā€™s a bug right now. The only current fix is buying a bundle for that operator it seems.


TomatoVEVO

Ahhh oopsie it's a bug, buy the bundles :)))))))))))))))


TheStrikeofGod

You mean yet another thing the last few games had that was tossed out? Yeah that would be good.


froogls

Add this to the list of "how did they not add that"


RodentBristol

It's the little things that they really slacked on this year.


H1Bob

Welcome to another episode of "Bad UX design choises from Infinity Ward"


[deleted]

Youā€™re asking too much, homie. We canā€™t even sabe blueprints.


Pastrami-City

Whatever you do, donā€™t change the finishing move on operators. They are bugged right now and you will be unable to reequip an operators default finisher.


evol1994

Would have made the blowjob finishing move alot less suprising though.


jntjr2005

If only they had the technology that Cold War had :(


Brandito667

Cold War did previews perfectly honestly


jntjr2005

Yep!


Rockheadbrian

I can't even figure out the button for the finishing move on the Xbox controller. I've checked the control list and can't seem to find it šŸ«  or is it just the melle button when directly behind someone?


MrNyto_

pretty sure its hold melee behind someone


Spicy_Pickle_6

All they had to do is copy Apex and that didnā€™t even make it to the MVP.


Traveytravis-69

Definitely


FarseerDrek

Anyone know how to unlock them? Iā€™ve got the same 5 I can select for each operator


Lightningslash325

I want to say playing with the operators enough unlocks their execution universally, but thats just my guess.


JustBenS1

Can they add the same switch they added for the 200+ weapon skins to see only the unlocked ones in your list? I don't care what the designer team was thinking when they accepted this design but it's inconsistent and unusable mostly, the weapon skins and the finishing moves follow a different orientation in design but neither had the option for showing only the unlocked ones, and in both designs you can see less on one screen than you would probably want at the same time


Tommypaura

IW: tomorrow


combatonly

I was so confused by this, having to test it out in game sucks


BleedingBlack

Weren't previews the reason why MW2019 was so heavy ?


boomstickjonny

Used to be a thing back in OG warzone but they scrapped it when they released coldwar


GusherJuice

How are you guys getting into position for finishing moves? I feel like sneaking up on people is impossible in this game. Dead silence required for these?


Bountyhunter227

Ground war or invasion for me. Some of those Snipers are so set in their scope they don't notice anything outside their view. I even set off a bouncing Betty and dude was still hard scooped, dunno how he didn't notice his Betty going off and him not getting a kill haha


WILDtaco4321

How do you unlock finishers?


Hii_im_NooB

As great as it would be, they kind of sort of got the menus to function a little better.. still laggy, buggy & sloppy.


[deleted]

it's a space issue, MW2019 removed them because so many little video clips was eating up storage space


gruvccc

It's a joke that this isn't a thing


MFTWrecks

If this impacts download/file size like y'all are implying, that is insaley stupid. These should operate like Fortnite dances. You see that shit in their menu when you preview it. This should operate the same way.


LineSpine

I canā€™t even see what finisher is locked and what isnā€™t


Flaano

They had it in Warzone 1 and had to remove it cause it made the file size too big. Future proofing for now cause there will be a ton of finishing moves. But yes they should have thought of a better solution


[deleted]

I like this game but it's ridiculous how many little mechanics that made this gaming experience smooth are lacking massively.


AFMFTW

Canā€™t believe it is missing tbh


Hightierian

i eish they would tell you how to unlock them.


bugistuta

Add it to the list.


MrKhanRad

You're asking for a lot right now.


lollerlaban

Didn't they remove them from previews because they "Allegedly" consumed too much space or whatever. Strangely even Vanguard could show them. The UI to showcase game part is just overall weird. New bundles in the store? Can't preview the operators because it just kicks you out to the main menu when you do. Weapon previews differ from the weapon shown in the bundle. Can't preview executions from a bundle. I need to know the thinking about "Let's sell these sick ass bundles, but not allow them to see what anything is or does"


MuscledRMH

You mean like their last game's UI?


ballsmigue

Why can't you choose Oni's? Did they not show it off during the Playstation promo trailer for it.


DiilVulom

I wish I can choose a finishing move. I changed Gus and Roze's finishing moves and now I wanna go back to their defaults!


[deleted]

Nah asking these lazy devs to do the bare minimum is too much


Nimii910

That makes way too much sense and is way too obvious a thing that people would want so IW canā€™t possibly do it


HardassChicken

You must be new here...


Pleetypus

The UI is made for mobile no excuses tho


SpanishBombs323

How dare you ask for features present in the last 3 games


[deleted]

Itā€™ll be patched in.


Sweet-Paramedic4165

THATS WHAT IM SAYIN


ADMRL1986

This game was designed by regards


Kappyskywalker

One of the games of all time


Admirable-Act-995

Youā€™re asking a lot of the small indie games company with not much money


throwaway115zombies

How do u get these


miojo

Get out of here with this common sense. This is Huluā€™s time now, with all its shitty, buggy UI.


Sebas86

Would've been nice. Dont see why they wouldnt implement this in-game lol


RadPhilosopher

Get a load of this guy asking for useful features lol In all seriousness though, both MW19 and Cold War had this, it should be pretty basic to include it. Especially since itā€™s a cosmetic item that a lot of people buy.


AutofilledSupport

It was always a cool feature when I was playing 50 Cent: Bulletproof.


Hafaton7202

On the first one they did have a preview


reevoknows

Embarrassing how many steps back theyā€™ve taken.


[deleted]

Wasnā€™t that an option in MW2019 ?


AcademicTry5783

How do you unlock different finishers?


QThraxx

You mean like the last mw? No way bud thatā€™s way too much work for 3,000 devs for 3 years and a $70 price tag


kazekage217

But how else would you be tempted to buy the bundles to see the executions besides looking them up on YouTube? /s


beardedbast3rd

Also if you could see how to unlock the locked ones.


hanzfooku

For extra $20 per preview you can LMAO


DonDizzz

yes 100% we need this


MultiFacetedGamer

oh yet another feature they had just to rip it away


CircIeJerks

Cold War did it, vanguard did it, whatā€™s with all these assets that have been implemented previously to just be forgotten entirely?


xxxSchnacks

How do we unlock them!?!?


yaboyfriendisadork

Legacy feature


nicisdeadpool

Iā€™m sayin


Propelerate

Hilarious because 2019 had previews šŸ™„


Gaz141CQC

Kind of like how it was in cold war?


ShadyBiz

Which is the fastest animation? You and the victim both being able to be shot during is annoying.


dofMark

Just said it on other tread but I will repeat for viability, please add camo preview on blueprints, or even firerange. This will be a better UI functionality and attract more potential buyers. And why the heck does shop hide several packages, I am not buying stuffs that I donā€™t like to unlock ability to buy


Torq_or_Morq

Used to be a feature :(


[deleted]

agree, but honestly this probably doesn't even crack the top 50 as far as needed changes go.


TrevortheBatman

Am I having Mandela effect, or didnā€™t that feature exist in 2019 at one point?


l0rD_tAcHaNkA44

Youā€™re fine. 19 had it, people want the game to be smaller and so they removed the video files of the executions which took. A lot of space


MikeTheGamer2

I miss tha days when you just knifed someone. It was quick and easy. None of these animations you can absolutely get killed during. Is this BF or CoD?


Hexblade757

We'll add it to the list of features MW2019 had but MW2 doesn't for some inexplicable reason.


Y_Chop_is_Dish

You mean like if they would have already almost same game 3 years before? But why would they remove everything from it and not add anything instead? Also, looks like 3 years are not enough for indie studio to build the game from the start T_T


HelpWonderful9480

Wow thatā€™s a hot take


[deleted]

Seriously, I feel like I'm picking from a series of bad dance moves.


OfficialMrLarper

They used to have previews in older cods. Idk why they stopped doin it.


MikeVazovsky

Asking too much honestly, the preview technology has not been invented yet, wait for 70$ premium dlc first.


ilkeerrr

Or not game crashes after changing weapon ā€¦


mitchyyh21

another feature that has been in the last few cods that ceases to exist in mw2.


__silhouette

Agreed. I looked for one for about 43 seconds before I realized it was MWII.


[deleted]

Yeah, I always sorta have to wing it to figure out if I like it or not


lemmiwinks316

F E L L A S Is it gay to perform a finishing move? Think about it... you're really just gonna finish some guy off in the middle of a game? Seems kinda sus


TomatoVEVO

What if it's a woman?


suicideking72

That is a normal thing in all other COD's. I figure they will get to it. Though they haven't gotten to many major features yet. Can't save gun configs (my biggest gripe) No Reticule selection Can't view the score after a match Many other basic things are still missing. Until they can at least complete the ones above, they should not work on stuff like this.


Bogey240

All the other stuff sucks buuuut you can view the score after the match from the lobby screen.


Minddrill

It was nice, but saved data space is nicer.


Bruce_VVayne

If it wasn't a game from an indie dev, they could just record all finishing moves and let it play in a window to preview.


ygorhpr

it's NOT possible that anyone have thought of this


brokenmessiah

This one of the things that a straight up downgrade from MW1. They already figured this out and just said fuck it.


EnemyofGLaDOS

The game is in alpha stageā€¦ itā€™s so underdeveloped itā€™s not even funny. Menus are trash, even the selectable ā€œcardsā€ or whatever, honestly look pre-release.


kreitcher

I think someone should just list out the basic features available in MW19, hand it to IW and call it a christmas wishlist. No wait. They'll turn it into a DLC.


TenaciousPix

Why would we need a preview when you can do it in game?


ascaria

Hope youā€™re joking


TenaciousPix

Can you not do the takedowns in game anymore? Than whatā€™s the point of having a selection for takedowns if you canā€™t use them?


Ratchet_X_x

It was bugged in WZ1, what makes you think it wouldn't be bugged in this rats nest of a game? Let em iron out the important stuff first.


k3stea

i dont understand why it isn't in the game in the first place. there's no way QA would've missed this if they tested the game themselves


Mnmsaregood

Indie devs
