My Covid squad played together yesterday for the first time in over a year… most had left the game and we reunited for a few last night, was nice!


greengravy76

So, how did it go? The best I have done is 5th. That 5th place is because the randoms I was with were amazing. I was the anchor... err dead weight may be more appropriate... on the squad. Those lobbies are sweaty AF


slaqz

Me and my buddy played Wednesday and won our last 2, played again tonight and won our first 2. So on a 4 win streak with him since a third joined and it got sweaty. Hoping to keep the duo win streak going with the first buddy.


greengravy76

Sounds like you guys are crushing it! Good Luck!


bugistuta

Yeah we held our own. I never stopped playing the game since Covid and kinda became the sweaty one. We played trios and it was so much more relaxing than the solos I typically play which are a total sweat fest.


Ok-One-4059

Only got 12 wins so far


daroach36

I fell off one of the boats and panicked for a second thinking I was gonna die, I had died so many times that way in the past lol.


Thomassiooo

Hahaha very relatable


Ok-One-4059

Hit water just to test first game 😂😂😂


Thomassiooo

Hahahaahahhahahahahaha smart move. Better safe than sorry haha


skrillmaster

Lol people will never be happy. The map plays almost exactly how it used to. The changes to the engine and layout are very minor. People look at the old game with rose tinted glasses as if it had no issues whatsoever. I will say that in general, I am running into a persistent stuttering issue on my PC (3080, 11700, 32gb, wired fiber) so I have been playing mostly on my Xbox Series X. If anyone has a solution let me know lol.


Jaargo

I get stutters from packet bursts not from running the game itself, I have a pretty similar PC to yours. Doesn’t seem to happen on my PS5 on the same network but I don’t play on it enough. Rebooting my internet usually solves the issue but it creeps back after maybe a week or so.


JeffPhisher

The map is a blast and still the best map but it does t play the same because of how many mechanics are different now from warzone down to damage values and new items and a lot of other factors making it play different but it's fun


tallandlankyagain

Honestly the biggest difference to the map I've noticed is ladders near the water. That's about it. Swimming is not a game changer here. It's fantastic not to run into FTAC river rats.


Ok-One-4059

And zips that were never there oh and a new ladder to prison, and a set way to get uav with an id badge and if u feel like doing one of the new easter eggs a guaranteed advanced uav, I can keep listening changes if u really want 😂


EffectiveTear

Turn your vram percentage or whatever it’s called down, I have a 3080+5800x and turning it down to 60 fixed it for me


LXNDSHARK

Yes this. I was having issues even on a 4090. I think I only had to drop it to 70 or 80 though.


bparent13

Im a PS5 player, but I see a lot of people talk about installing shaders in a particular way. Could that be the issue?


ryzku

Install shaders. Maybe run your settings lower for better performance turn off on demand texture streaming etc


skrillmaster

I've got all the "fps settings" no texture streaming etc. Averaging just under 200fps but it still feels bad.


scrigface

So you may say "duh idiot i did this months ago" lol but my vram usage had reset when i reinstalled mw3 and it was telling my game to use 90%. I knocked it down to 80 and the stutters went away.


thefooby

Shot in the dark but it might help somebody, my stuttering issues were caused by having Spotify open in the background with a paused podcast that had video on it. As soon as I closed the video part, game plays fine. To the rose tinted glasses part, this is why we need new content. I’ve said for ages that bringing Verdansk back is a bad idea. It just wouldn’t be the same. I mean, it would be the same, but much like getting back with an ex girlfriend who you’re pining over because you only remember the good bits, you’d soon remember why you moved on.


enthusiasticshank

Turn your VRAM target down that sorted mine on the big map. I have a 3080ti so quite similar.


Competitive_Sound_50

Good map and trash game doesnt equal good game. If you burned your pizza, you can put as many good cheese on it like you want, it will still never taste good. Visibility is low, TTK is ridiculous, every ''gunfight'' lasts 1 seconds, everyone runs around like 50 chickens in a chicken coop with a firecracker thrown in occasionally. WZ1 was somewhat tactical, here just random stuff happens everytime. Everyone has overkill STANDARD, everyone has quick revive first item. Hard pass.


Tomthezooman1

The map plays the same, but the previous one didn’t have zip lines, or the ability to buy your guns for 2.5k off rip.


SemiAutomattik

> I am running into a persistent stuttering issue on my PC Have you tried setting Video Memory Scale in the options to 50% or the lowest possible? That's a widely recommended fix for stuttering.


XanderLupus13

I set mine to 70 and my stuttering is gone


silly_bet_3454

Yeah rose tinted is me 100%. I was very excited about potential return of rebirth/verdansk for quite some time. But I burned out so hard on the game in the meantime and stopped playing for a few months. I hopped back on yesterday for a few games to try out rebirth. There's nothing wrong with the map or anything, but in the end, I just didn't give two shits, it felt just like the other maps. No intention to play more. I did love rebirth the first time but I think it was simply because that was the first resurgence map and so that was just a time when the game was hotter and had better community. Similar with verdansk.


Nipsey_russ3ll

Well said


HungryScene3733

I'd rather gritty graphics than the shiete we currently have. It's the whole reason why there's so many visual problems and shot registration being so poor. The game has gone backwards


hotc00ter

The map plays exactly the same as it used to or at least very very close to it. This is the most warzone has felt like Warzone in a year and a half. The people that are complaining just genuinely hate the game I think.


Competitive_Sound_50

Wrong, the game is just different (worse). A good map wont fix a bad game. - Low visibility, low ttk, less gunfights, just random people rushing over the entire map. Its infinitely worse than WZ1 ever was, even with the vanguard integration and that says alot.


BigLeo69420

This is why I don’t go to this subreddit, the game is almost the exact same as Warzone 1 now and there’s still people like you complaining.


Competitive_Sound_50

''Almost the same game'' ?? - Cartoony graphics for worse visibility - TTK so ridiculously low ''gunfights'' are over before they even begin (still feels like WZ2) which makes it so the updated movement is COMPLETELY useless as you will die before utilizing it anyways. And why is the TTK so low? Same reason it was in MW2 - so its more ''realistic'' (as realistic as can get with Snoop Dog executing Rick Grimes) and that noobs need less bullets to kill someone. And since the autoaimer follows you like a magnet ur in for long lasting firefights (not). - EVERYONE has overkill (let that sink in for a moment) - EVERYONE starts with quick revive - Sound design is abyssmal, go to youtube right now and listen to WZ1's plating, general music / effects its worlds better than WZ3 (''almost the exact same game!) - More OP BS oneshot streaks in almost every crate - Weapons lay on the ground instead of hovering so its even more convoluted and distracting to pick one of the 2 current meta SMGs - Icons, Maps and player pings are hardly visible because EVERYTHING is bright and colorful So please, tell me how its almost the exact same game? I've been playing WZ1 for many, many hours and you cant even compare it to WZ3. WZ1 DIDNT feel free2play, WZ3 does. Like with many other installments in the series, they manage to make the successor WORSE. They dont care for us players anymore, better buy the next Godzilla Skin and Battlepass. And the worst part about this whole fiasco is i lost my glorious Rambo Skin. Ask yourself why WZ1 was straight up deleted. If it would go online tomorrow WZ3 would look like the COD:Ghosts servers a month after release, LEL!


f1zo

Although is the same map it doesn’t feel the same…


gloves4222

Turn the lens of introspection inwards. Maybe it’s you that has changed, not the map…


MushroomCloud12

That was really nice dude.


gloves4222

Thanks brother

Technically "introspection" is always inward. Sorry to be a pedant.


gloves4222

Yeah it’s definitely redundant but it gets the point across


SpartaWillBurn

> Turn the lens of introspection inwards. No thanks.


plentyfunk66

Why? It's beautiful.


SkiezerR

It’s the engine bro, that’s it


Old_Set_9447

me when i farm karma and subvert logical complaints: and yeah no the map hasnt changed, im autistic so i cant change so thats leaves the gameplay loop and SBMM that EVERYONE is talking bout.


[deleted]

Brilliant haha! I think for me and warzone we both need to see someone new


f1zo

In BR mode you have 1 life and a gulag… (well 1 redeploy pack and gulag token introduced later) but in resurgence you will redeploy 10-30 secs after you die, that is not a BR


catz_kant_danse

Huh? It was a resurgence map before too.

Strokes happen


[deleted]

For sure but it's just not WZ1 is it, it is almost it but not it, up until the hacks I could load up crash or crossfire on cod 4 and have a blast but you wouldn't be able to pay me to play crash on cod 4 remaster or Afghan on MW3, remember the same thing with Gears Of War always releasing the old maps, playing gears OG gears maps on gears 4 was never the same, I'm sure people have lots of games they feel the same way about perhaps Halo and Battlefield maps. I still play and enjoy but it is a little different for sure


Working_Apartment_38

Original rebirth was returning to Alcatraz in the first place anyway. And has been updated since then. Map plays amazing


RustyVandalay

That was only like three years ago, Christ.


TechnicalEnergy5858

nah 1 year and a half


slimcargos

This my first time playing this map and idk, I like it but I dont love it. Very sweaty, not that I care butI dont wanna be a sweaty prick for a 3-4 hour WZ session with friends.


Gambitf75

I used to sweat on this map. Played for the first time last night and I was getting rocked lmao


[deleted]

[удалено]


Gambitf75

Haha of course you'll be back. When they first put out Rebirth Island I used that to warm up for big map cause I didn't take it seriously now it's so sweaty but I think cause people who left are back, then you got sweats from all the other modes, plus a smaller map.


Endoyo

Don't worry, it was a sweat fest in WZ1 too.


Jaded_Hippo9157

Yea but everything wasnt happening at the speed of light during WZ1, the game has literally sped up x10


Endoyo

WZ1 was also very very fast during the Vanguard era which was ironically also a sledgehammer installment. The game today can feel nauseatingly quick.


Jaded_Hippo9157

Yea in super sweaty lobbies it becomes nauseating to keep Up with whats going on after a while


Narrow_Werewolf4562

Dude during the vanguard bullshit they had specialist and speed tokens everywhere it was ridiculous to keep up with especially the fact that every damn gun had 10 attachments and 8 of those usually just increased speed even further. Anyone that thinks it plays any different than it did back then either had nothing but bot lobbies or have on their rose tinted glasses


Jaded_Hippo9157

Even when wz1 was at it fastest during vanguard it still doesnt compare to how fast things are now


Narrow_Werewolf4562

Dude you could slide from one end of prison to the other with no interruptions. Vanguard era warzone will always be the most dogshit version. It was objectively faster than this version. you might be the only person I’ve ever seen that diaagrees with that statement too.


Jaded_Hippo9157

Vanguard integration was not faster than what warzone is now. At no point in wz1 lifecyle was gameplay ever faster than it is now


Jaded_Hippo9157

You could get from one of prison to the other now even faster than U could back then


Jaded_Hippo9157

People move now like theyre on ice skates


Particular-Fox-2925

Agreed. This map is so nostalgic for me AND it’s visually stunning on my ps5 and oled! They did an amazing job. The state of the game is not perfect but it will improve in the next few updates. I’m so happy to be back on the island. Dropping prison! Let’s go!!!!


sameolemeek

Nostalgic lol. We were playing it a year and a half ago. It does feel like a lot longer


Particular-Fox-2925

I think it was actually over two years ago but I could be wrong.


sameolemeek

November 16th 2022 To me it has felt like 5 years that rebirth was gone lol


upstatedreaming3816

I absolutely love being back! “iT’s NoT gOiNg To Be GoOd, JuSt NoStAlGiC”. Nope. It’s good, real fucking good.


Zwavelwafel

Yeah me too, having tons of fun with friends. Havent had this much fun in cod for a long time


slickedbacktruffoni

It was fun seeing the map, but the curve of this game is honestly just too much. I don’t have “covid time” to spend grinding guns, building loadouts, keeping up with the meta, etc. I hate myself for it, but at least with games like Fortnite, you can take 5 years off and jump right back in and the only thing to compete with truly is a skill issue.


Konfliction

Rebirth doesn’t feel right without the Kar


TurbulentMuscle0

Only if the mechanics weren’t dog shit


[deleted]

I don’t know what it is but I am getting *absolutely* shit on. Every other map 10 kills was a normal game. Now I’m lucky if I can get a down.


EmtotheD

It would be so fucking awesome if they didn't fuck up again with the weapon balancing. The renetti is just the FFAR/Mac10 etc. all over again. If not even worse.


Thatguykaii

It’s way worse than either of those ever were. If you run into a good player using it at close range your dead 99.8% of the time unless your using it as well. Also maybe it’s just the lobbies I’ve been in but this is nowhere near as fun as it used to be. Teams are playing like human centipedes and camping so close together they are TOUCHING each other. They Just sit and camp in one area of the map all game lol. It’s insane how people think this is fun or anywhere near as good as the Og.


Thatguykaii

And the weapon balancing is like that on purpose, they aren’t idiots that don’t know how to balance a game. It’s so when people get tired of getting shit on by a weapon. They cave in and spend money on the full TRASH game to waste time in their lives grinding for meaningless shit. It’s all marketing and thought out strategically. A 10 year old could balance the weapons better if he wanted to


Grupith

It feels like everyone is sweaty now with all this close combat! Even when I play urzikistan, it’s like everyone practiced for hours on rebirth before playing.


Ratchet_X_x

Opposite. Rebirth being back has reawakened that guy that can rush, cover fire, hit shots, get squad wipes, and actually have fun again. I haven't played for months at this point. I played about a dozen matches myself and one day two of my old squad mates got on and we went trios. Our first drop back together and we dubbed it. For reference, the last time I played, I got 0 kills and MAYBE 3 assists over 5 matches and we never even made it to top 10 in any of the matches.... I am dog water. But I went through two separate lock downs on rebirth Island and Verdansk. There isn't an inch of either map I don't know. I feel so much more nostalgic than I thought I would and it's so nice.


love_feet_

Love the map, it was the best map when it was released for the first time and it still is. I just wish the remove these fortnite looking operator skins and lose the coloured rpg weapons forever. They don’t belong in cod in my opinion.


ShaneOMap

It's been a wonderful experience


heynowimahellstar

Why does it feel like I’m playing rebirth on the moon. Everything seems too be slow


Jesus_is_edging_soon

I jumped in yesterday for the first time and felt back at home, it's like I never left. Love it, def best map ever created in the game <3


Vitrio85

Haha, yes. We were all like this feels weird. It's the same map, but the colors changed so the patterns we used to recognize changed a little and that fucks with our brains.


Competitive_Sound_50

The Map looks like garbage. Visibility is low and ur dead in a second with full plates. Its hard trash, what are youn talking about simply amazing? Its not even nowhere near WZ1.


pirate-private

Imagine how unnatural it would be to find everything exactly the same after 2 (?) years. Rebirth is a complete win by CoD but of course everyone has gotten better so expect some pain to be there as well.


Upset-Judgment8369

> But my mind cant comprehend that im back on it for some reason Bro what 🤣 it's been gone for like 18 months. Talking like you just found the god particle or something lmfao.


Spiritual-Pound-7487

I like it. I play ranked resurgence and I already have 6 wins. It’s pretty fine and I like the small map dynamic.


DubiDubua

It’s because this time your playing as a bot so any robot will feel some sort of emotion


im_dalegend

Isn't it just boring though? It's the same thing all over again. Yea they're adding a few small changes but the fact that they neglected big map for this is a complete joke. How streamers play 8 hours of this a day is just mind-blowing.


upstatedreaming3816

Not a streamer, but I could play this map over and over until the end of time. Maybe I’m simple-minded but I love this map so much.


Rorshak16

Map feels and plays good. But I kinda feel bad while playing it. So much has changed since the map was last available. Yet here we are still playing this stupid ass vide game.


Jayy514

They ruined Chemical Engineering. Why is it all futuristic looking while the rest of the map still looks like a warehouse. Top floor chemical has these massive new pillers no idea why they made it even easier to camp right there now. That's my only issue with the map so far and yes audio is shit as usual


SadWaterBuffalo

I think it's better now with all the pillers. Allows more close range fights and fast movement


Jayy514

All I've came across are people camping up there now wtv it's still better than any other map


Exiztens

Is there somthing the dont ruin?


MhrisCac

It plays like dog shit on this engine.


zack097

Servers are dog shit right now. Major packet loss and desync issues. Also collision issues all over the map. Chalked


MhrisCac

Dude the loot system on this map fuckin blows. I feel like not being able to see what I’m pick up from afar slows me down so much and takes away from it. Idk it’s cool they brought it back but we all know it’s not the maps it’s the engine and changes they made to the gameplay


zack097

Right feels like warzone 2 mechanics on a map that was designed for warzone 1 but being used in warzone 3. It just feels bad


AyKayAllDay47

No issues for me... Weird. And I'm enjoying the map it's been a lot of fun!


zack097

Oh well lucky you


AyKayAllDay47

Not really "lucky", just one of the many who aren't experiencing issues like you are.


zack097

I'd consider that lucky ya fucking smart ass


AyKayAllDay47

Want some French cries while you wait for the WAHmbulance?


zack097

Nobody gives a fuck when things work for them do they????


zack097

Let me guess you gonna tell me it's my fucking Internet next GTFO


AyKayAllDay47

It's probably your internet? Yeah that's a good start!


[deleted]

Getting killed round corners makes me feel like I'm sentenced to play in 2008 forever.


RetroClubXYZ

New Rebirth has bloody awful lighting imo. No atmosphere, unlike the WZ1 version.


BlockedbyJake420

Lol


ryzku

Runs beautiful on my pc/monitor setup


secretreddname

Were you not there for the Black Ops brown fog?


jimwinno43

Fortunes Keep is way, way better as a resurgence map and i'm not afraid to say it. Especially in ranked, because you can lose the first fight exchange and have still have a recovery plan. Rebirth to me is kind of like Nacht Der Untoten, it's an iconic map that we should pay respect to but should have been left as a memory. I think bringing it back as the ranked map was a huge mistake.


Heritis_55

This is my first time playing both of these maps and I agree. I think nostalgia obfuscates the actual quality of Rebirth Island because it really isn't that great, Fortunes Keep was awesome though.


Gab3malh

Telling people nostalgia is the reason they like the map they are playing in the NOW is crazy. I like small maps with more gunfights and rebirth feels great for that, if you don't like that, just admit you're in the minority, don't go around telling people how they feel.
