A little background on me: I just started playing a few days ago. I don't have any friends that play and my headset died a while back, so I'm always going in solo. I've been enjoying the difficulty of completing missions and searching for good loot. The hardest part for me is dealing with other players.
I've personally just been ignoring anyone that I come across (aside from a couple mistaken identity incidents), because I know they're trying to get some shit done themselves, but most, if not all, will turn around and kill me as I continue to go about my business.
So, I guess I'm just wondering if any of you feel the same as me, or if you like it more with the PvP? Is it your expectation that players will compete and kill each other or do you prefer co-op?

Before you start slinging shit at me, I'm not complaining here. I get a little frustrated when I have some good stuff and some other squad shoots me in the back, but I'm still leveling up and having a good time playing. I also realize that some of you enjoy hunting each other, and that's totally fine, I like PvP games too. My personal opinion is just that, in this game mode, it seems like a waste of time and effort (and, for the loser, loot) with everything else that we have to contend with in the game, especially for solo players.

I’m a pc guy but came from console, so I haven’t play cod in years. I’m way more excited for CS2 but I got the new COD to play with some friends.

I know people talk about how awful it is but I’m actually enjoying the gameplay. My biggest gripe rn is the UI. I can’t figure out how anything works but sitting down and getting a kill every 2 min is classic COD and pretty fun

I been playing around with Plutonium on Linux and want to share this guide on how to get it to run on Linux using Wine.

  1. Install COD WAW. You can install it using Steam or with the retail disk in Wine. If you are installing the game with the retail disk, you need to install each patch in Wine also.
  2. Create a Wine prefix for COD WAW Plutonium. It can be a 32 bit or 64 bit Wine prefix. Plutonium works with Wine 8.0.1. You can download this version of wine and many other wine version from Kron4ek.
  3. Install Winetricks if it is not installed yet
  4. In the terminal, enter the following commands to install these dependencies into the Wine prefix. I want to thank this guide on finding out what dependencies are needed. I did remove most of the dependencies since all seems to work fine with only these one being installed for COD WAW using Plutonium. However you may need more dependencies when setting up other COD titles with Plutonium in Wine.
sudo winetricks --self-update
WINEPREFIX="/path/to/wine/prefix" winetricks -q --force dotnet48
WINEPREFIX="/path/to/wine/prefix"  winetricks -q d3dcompiler_47
  1. Download Plutonium EXE
  2. Place the Plutonium EXE inside your Wine prefix c_drive folder "/path/to/wine/prefix/drive_c/plutonium.exe"
  3. Run the Plutonium EXE inside the Wine Prefix
  4. Once Plutonium is running, go the T4 Multiplayer or T4 Coop/Zombies menu in Plutonium and click on Game Settings.
  5. Set the game path to the directory were COD WAW is installed. If you installed the game using Steam, the path will be in the Z:\ drive. By default the steam games directory is Z:\home\USERNAME.steam\steam\steamapps\common\Call of Duty World at War\ which may need to be manually typed in since the /.steam/ directory in the home folder is hidden. If you installed the game using the retail disk, the path will be in the C:\ drive.
  6. Your now all set!

I find myself closing doors all the time, anyone else?

So is there any interest in creating a /c/codcompetitive community ahead of Champs?
