Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is better with crossplay disabled

"Since its launch, I have played Call of Duty: Modern Warfare‘s competitive online multiplayer fairly obsessively. While generally happy with the game, I’m not too keen on the addition of crossplay," writes Kyle at Game Freaks 365

Except it forced on ground war as if the PS4 userbase isn’t large enough to support the mode. It BS.

Gazondaily1627d ago

Lol which format hasn't got enough of a user base to support ground war? 🤣

Jin_Sakai1627d ago

All platforms technically have enough users to support the mode. So why force cross-play on that specific mode with no way to disable it? It’s nonsense.

GottaBjimmyb1625d ago (Edited 1625d ago )

Gotta say, knew by the headline which console this author was using, PS4 players on average are just bad, and whiny. They always have some excuse for why they are losing. I know when playing, I always love seeing the crossplay controller icon next to names on the opposing team.

As for PC, I have seen no real advantage, they never appear to be dominating in any match I have played. Heck, even shroud and ska almost lost to a console player (formal) in what was basically a 2v1.

@jin_sakai
Why are you complaining? Are you getting owned by other platform users.
Cross play or not the game will still play the same.

T2X1626d ago

No it absolutely does not. Some players are really good with keyboard and mouse as opposed to DS4 or XB1 controllers. I noticed this pretty quickly when I began MP. It's a great game IMO, but I would suggest disabling the crossplay. To each their own.

Bruh1626d ago

@T2X

As a controller player you won't get matched into lobbies with keyboard and mouse players. It will only be with those who are using a controller, I'd say the only slight advantage is that you'll occasionally run into sweats that run the game at 120 FPS and will always have faster reflexes than you but thats pretty much it.

CDbiggen1626d ago

I'm getting owned by other platform users, PC players must be loving ground war.

Newmanator1626d ago

Totally erroneous statement

Kornholic1626d ago (Edited 1626d ago )

@Bruh

120fps gives no real life benefit or competitive edge. The benefit is only theoretical.

nowitzki20041625d ago

Game plays the same but players dont.

lol PS4 has the largest player base !
But I would like to see the option to filter out pc so we can have just PS4//XB1

Pickledpepper1625d ago

I'm all for cross play and I total agree with what people are saying about keyboard and mouse, I've been in matches with them, the game does not put controller users only together it's all mixed match.
It's obvious by the kill cam if they are using keyboard and mouse, but it is satisfying when I snipe at the edge of the map and keep taking the same keyboard and mouse user out over and over but that doesn't happen much.
They should let you filter out pc users but it doesn't really bother me as i only play for fun.
To be honest the novelty of the game is wearing off for me, I'm start to go back to the game hunt (awesome game)

Kornholic1626d ago

It's forced on Ground War so that PC and Xbox players could play full matches. PS4 player base is healthy enough. PS4 doesn't need crossplay, it's the other systems that need it.

Daggerjack1625d ago

@BRUH

Who actually said you don't play with keyboard and mouse user if on controller? i can actually confirm that's a lie. PC player here and I'm constantly gaming with ps4 and xbox players with controllers, in fact a buddy i made online is gaming from his ps4 with a controller.

ravens521626d ago

why all the hate on crossplay

Jin_Sakai1626d ago

Because some people just want to play a game without dealing with mouse and keyboard or PC players cheating and using aim bots.

Cross-play is forced in ground war. There’s currently no way to disable it.

DonDon30001626d ago

Controller players are not forced to play Keyboard/Mouse users. Controller players only play other controller users (unless specified otherwise) in crossplay, even if i'm on ps4 playing against PC players: those pc players must be using a controller to be in same lobby as me.

Jin_Sakai1626d ago (Edited 1626d ago )

@DonDon3000

“Controller players are not forced to play Keyboard/Mouse users.”

https://www.gamerevolution....

“Despite this, the devs behind the game have, for some as-yet-unknown reason, required PS4 players to enable Cross-Play for them to play the Ground War game mode. This, in turn, increases the chances that they’ll be matched up against PC players who are, as a general rule, using keyboard and mice and therefore have an advantage in aiming precision.“

blacktiger1626d ago

It's weird how you said pc players cheating,

KillBill1626d ago

@Jin_Sakai - that is an article written by someone that simply is assuming the scenario. such articles are made all the time with wrong information. Until I read where crossplay is between keyboard and controllers from the developers then I will doubt the validity.

porkChop1626d ago

PC gamers don't need a controller to be in your lobby. I play on PC with m/k and I'm in lobbies with everyone.

1626d ago
nowitzki20041625d ago

As a PC gamer I am against crossplay, but come on.. Aim bots are just a better version of auto aim.

RAYMEISTER1625d ago

I don’t know I’m on pc with mouse and keyboard and I feel like I’m always getting owned by the console guys with their auto aim controllers. Even watching the kill cam it’s sick. They never miss. Mouse takes more skill to put exactly over the person to get that kill. The turning speed with a mouse is probably faster but if the person is in front of a person with a controller you’re done.

TKCMuzzer1626d ago

Probably because it needs to be an even playing field, higher FPS, mouse and keyboard, higher resolution. Its bad enough that COD's net code cheats you out of kills, let alone players getting an obvious advantage due to hardware.(plus the ability to cheat)

1626d ago
CDbiggen1626d ago (Edited 1626d ago )

There's no hate for it, some guy mentioned it's given him the chance to play with friends he's never been able to play with before and that's great. It's just some people don't think it should be forced for Ground War, nothing wrong with that.

CDbiggen1626d ago

Whoever disagreed with me: you're a cunt.

slate911626d ago

For the first time ever I've been able to play with friends I've known my whole life but who preferred different platforms. I love crossplay!! :)

Gardenia1625d ago

Good for you, but it should always be optional. Right now it isn't in Ground War. PC has a huge advantage over console players. Not only because of the mouse and keyboard, but also with the FOV, frame rate, visibility, network card and other things.

PC shouldn't be mixed with consoles in a FPS game.

HallowedSoul11625d ago

Wait there's Xbox one crossplay with PS4 ? I thought Sony only allows PC/PS4 crossplay.

Immorals1626d ago

I played on my Xbox with a friend who was on PS4, and a friend who was on PC.

It's a great feature, and whilst a bit buggy, works well

There should be an option, but forcing players to crossplay is where I have a problem.

Why MW 2019 is still the best looking Call of Duty to date

MW 2019 is five years old at this point and on previous gen hardware, but it is still the best looking Call of Duty game to date.

MW was an excellent videogame. They messed up Spec Ops big time, but aside from this it was a huge step in the right direction initially. Most notably, at launch it seemed to come from a very cohesive creative vision that was felt across gameplay, to story to art style/visual direction. It was also very notably written by prominent ex-Naughty Dog guys that quit almost immediately before release.

That COMPLETELY dissolved through post-launch content and the full pivot to a "cross-mode" narrative that completely obliterated the cohesion in overall story direction. Warzone then "became" the new face of Call of Duty and the franchise completely removed itself from anything remotely creatively "good". It is a pure money machine, so I kinda get why they're doing it....but I personally completely lost interest.

I would love to see Infinity Ward move off CoD and get to make their own product with full control. They clearly have some massive talent in their ranks but it's perverted by Activision's corporate interests.

I really hope we get other activision games on GP soon. My dream would be Scarface but I know the license probably expired

P_Bomb283d ago

Love me some Scarface! I even bought the comics. Yeah, licensing would probably be an impasse.

4Sh0w283d ago

hmmm, coincidence? Either way this is a good sign for gamers after the ABK deal.

porkChop283d ago

I played through Scarface again last year and it still holds up. Such a fun game. I would love for Xbox to get the rights back to remaster Scarface and make a sequel. It sold well and they had plans for Scarface 2, 3, and 4. With how long it takes Rockstar to make games the market is wide open.

TheColbertinator283d ago

That game was so much fun. Expected a cheap GTA clone but it was a good drug empire building game.

shinoff2183283d ago

They didn't just have plans but there's actual gameplay out there for scarface 2

neutralgamer1992282d ago

Seriously man we need games like

True crime
Sleeping dogs
Watch dogs( more like original not legion)
And proper saints row

GTA can’t be the only option we need other games

P_Bomb282d ago

@neutral
Gun was Activision as well. Nice open world Wild West there imo.

neutralgamer1992281d ago

Gun is such a underrated game

None of those games had dedicated servers on console in the first place? Were always player hosted. Did something change?

Rutaprkl282d ago

Older cods like Mw, Mw2 and WaW were way better than Call of Dutys nowadays

GoodGuy09282d ago

Make activision remaster mw2 (2009) multiplayer please xbox.
