News - Warzone 2. 0 Season 1 Is Here. Weapon Balancing & Console Fov
So we finally have the season one patch notes for Modern Warfare 2 as well as Warzone 2.0, and, obviously, a lot of details have been covered with a brand new battle pass. I want to focus on the weapons and some of the other quality of life changes that have happened because those are probably the main things to focus on.
Obviously, we get the Victus XMR rifle, which is unlocked with the battle pass. We also have the Bass P submachine gun, and this thing is very good. I've happened to Max Level it a lot of fun and I think that one could be like a MW2, meta build because it is very versatile like the cast off seven for you then we got the m13b, which is locked via store bundle or the weapon unlock challenges where you have to play DMZ at a chance to unlock that I haven't had a chance to use it yet, so we'll kind of see how good that thing is once we get it leveled with some good attachments in.
In terms of weapon balancing, for the assault rifles, they've increased the long-range Flinch. On all assault rifles, the cast of 545 needed a buff. It got an ad speed increase, so it's faster on the ambient downside. Ironsight ads a sight picture I guess that means I'm not sure exactly what that means.
Cast out 7 for you: they've decreased the speed, so they slowed it down, and then they've increased the hip spread, so it's going to perform more like a rifle with M4 hip spread reduction, so it got a slight buff. The M16 got improved in a lot of different ways; it definitely needed a buff, but it was okay within a close range.
Once it got a little bit further, if you're trying to get your long shots with this thing, you know it wasn't all that great. Luckily, Tier 1 has been added, so you'll be able to play that STB. Close-range damage reduction It was a little bit too strong, and this one's going to balance it out so it's not overpowered up close, hopefully, and then reduce Sprint to Fire Speed, so they actually nerfed it a couple different ways.
The battle rifle, the F-TAC Recon 80s, got sped up by Brown magazine speed and handling improvements, which I don't think a lot of people are going to use unless maybe hardcore usage increases. Flinch is caused by bullets, so how else would you get Flinch right explosions? Hip fire spread decreased, so a couple nerfs along with the buff in there increased hip fire when full-auto handguns increased to close range.
Flinch on all handguns to make them harder to use light machine guns. Increase long distance just like the rifles Lockwood 300 Marksman rifle damage range reduction So, that will apply mainly to multiplayer, where you can get one-shot damage on certain body parts. Increase the Flinch for the Sabre, spr large, increase to Flinch when hit, and then shotguns increase to close range Flinch, so I don't know exactly what that's going to look like.
I didn't do it before on all weapons to show what Flinch looks like in close, medium, and long range. We'll kind of see obviously that they're just making the weapons harder to use and increasing the close-range flail on all shotguns to do 800 closer-range damage, so that actually got a buff. I didn't think it was that bad.
I thought these things got relatively good one-shot taps, so now it's going to be a little bit better than that, maybe by a meter or something like that. Some machine guns have a long range. Move speed increases, so they increase the strafe speed of the hurricane. Headshot increased, bar damage range increased, so the hurricane got a buff all around, but the solid mini back got nerfed, so a few different nerfs there on the mini back.
I didn't think it was particularly good. I thought the fact that it had a big mag helped, but it is what it is: the pdsw, movement speed increase, so above damage ranging buffs add speed increase, so buff buff, and Then they added laser flashlight attachments, so they added a bunch of lasers. The devel 46 damage range increase meant that this MP7 got above the signal 50 increase and fixed attributes on the signal 50 barrels so that they actually do what they're supposed to in Warzone 2.0.
We have solos with 150, duos with 150, quads with 152, and we're getting 150 unhinged as well, which is a trios mode that's like an LTM that has up to six players per squad, which sounds kind of crazy. So in Battle Royale, we got the core third person and then, on edge, broke the squad limit boundaries by using assimilation to grow your squad up to six player alliances.
Okay, so once you're in the game, you can party up with other people; essentially, we'll see how those mechanics work out. DMZ, 66 players It doesn't feel like there are that many; there's a lot going on, but the health regeneration is slow. I've had a little bit of play time already to get the Expo of the weapon, and it's more challenging than I expected.
I expected to be, but mainly because the AI can one-tap you, you only get one plate, the health regeneration is kind of slow, and then on top of it you have to worry about other players, so it is very punishing. But, playing through, I don't see the incentive to keep playing; we'll see what else they do with it because I think it has a good base; it just needs some tuning in the DMZ.
The condition for winning is that you decide which of your stakes players choose the mission, so the quality of life is huge and something people have been asking about forever, or is this something that has been known for a long time based off all the leaks? Audio The audio team has made significant improvements to audio systems to address this key area.
Hopefully that's improved because there are times where it feels like it's super precise and other times you hear nothing, so hopefully this solves the issue. I mean, there are always issues with audio. I don't think there's a game out there that has great audio; it's always all right. This one's better than the other one, but nothing's particularly great, right?
In Q, players are now able to join other players while they are queued up, so that's good. If a player joins a full squad, they're already in the queue; the other players in the squad will be removed from the said queue. Stowed weapons, which guarantee a fair match start, are stowed while skydiving.
This is something we found out before: when you're flying in, you're not going to be able to just shoot people out of the sky. Players can now look around and shoot while using an ascender, so that's when you're doing up a zip line; players can now attach to an ascender while falling; that is a very good one; players who are parachuting can now mantle and ledge hang okay; ledge hang okay; automatic.
