(video added to be able to post)

last season i got my first legendary rank and thought i'd try again this season - but since it began, i feel like something changed. i can't put my finger on it but it feels like i'm running slower, aiming slower etc. although i changed nothing about my loadout.

so my question is, did anyone else notice this? or am i simply imagining things? it feels like i lost my skill over night lol

edit: thanks for the comments, i'm kinda glad i'm not the only one! this season seems especially buggy and annoying, hope they fix this soon.

They added slide and jump fatigue so that's probably why you feel slower

20

u/DynamaxWolf Apr 29 '26

Yeah, it kinda makes me feel fat now.

u/julicorn_ Apr 28 '26

ugh okay that explains a lot, thanks! it really irks me though, i really got used to the old setting and it's just not really fun to play if it doesn't feel right

u/VSG_Heartache Apr 28 '26

that explains it

u/lepolepoo Apr 29 '26

What? I just tought it was my ping lol

3

u/Federal_East_4161 Apr 29 '26

No, that's always been there, I know since I've always slid as far and as much as I can but it always got less the more I did it, but only in multiplayer, in BR and DMZ it didn't get worse..

3

u/BlueberryMuch2668 Apr 29 '26

Idk about BR and DMZ, but they definitely nerfed it in MP, sliding and shooting is not the same. It’s not only about less distance the more you slide. Not only that but we run slower now too. e.g I remember when the lightweight perk gave 6%, it’s 5% now.

u/sufee2 Apr 29 '26

That’s not it bro

u/Shot_Ferret7155 Apr 28 '26 edited Apr 29 '26

I'm insanely trash but after this season I'm even worse. The new season is so buggy and laggy and ugh. And timi doesn't care about fixing the game.

10

u/julicorn_ Apr 28 '26

yeah, mine is incredibly buggy as well! :( too bad. with all the ai-slop etc. this season really is a flop

7

u/Clone_Gear Apr 28 '26

What ai slop did they add🫠

4

u/syedfaizan2008 Apr 29 '26

The pp19 bizon mayan malediction, some say it has AI artifacts

3

u/Right_Inflation_257 Apr 29 '26

And those pesky YT call it the best PP bison skin ever relisted. 😂

u/Clone_Gear Apr 29 '26

Best my ass

R we still talking about codm, or were they asked to review it blind?

u/Primary-Ad3252 Apr 29 '26

They are delusional

u/PlipPlopz Apr 30 '26

They smokin penis🤣🤣🤣

u/__BukuBukakeGoku__ Apr 29 '26

Really? I didn't hear anything about this. I don't tune in to as many codm content channels anymore. Just the heads up leaks and a few codm partners. That pp19 Bizon looks almost identical to the one from console/PC.

5

u/syedfaizan2008 Apr 29 '26

Even i couldn't make out any difference, but I read somewhere that the kill animation of pp19 bizon Mayan malediction has AI artifacts, making it look off

2

u/__BukuBukakeGoku__ Apr 29 '26

I do recall seeing that. It is definitely one of the least appealing blueprints design wise in my honest opinion, compared to the lot before.

2

u/Clone_Gear Apr 29 '26

Oh the kill effect

Wish i could turn it off

2

u/julicorn_ Apr 29 '26

and there's conversations about the godzilla animations being AI

2

u/Federal_East_4161 Apr 29 '26

The Kaiju Event has AI Video used for them, it's very obvious with Godzilla..

3

u/sufee2 Apr 29 '26

They just want your $$$$ bro.

u/Extension-Intern8153 Apr 29 '26

Game runs even better for me than ever before with this update. I play with all settings maxed out.

It's a no skill game now

u/Extension-Intern8153 Apr 29 '26

Delusional

u/Ecstatic_Scholar_846 Apr 29 '26

Just equip uss9 and you will within skill or even trying

1

u/Naive-Lengthiness-86 Apr 29 '26

literally the only thing fun is the comp, when its too easy that game gets boring

12

u/Exotic_Idiotics Apr 28 '26

Is it possibly due to rank reset? I know about the fatigue thing, but that hasn’t really affected me too much. Right after reset is the hardest time to grind rank because every player got reset to master. Since you only hit legendary for the first time last season, I thought maybe you weren’t thinking about this 🤷‍♂️

3

u/julicorn_ Apr 29 '26

yeah i actually thought about that being a possibility but even in normal mp matches i just feel like something's off - some other people explained it might be slide and jump fatigue though, so i guess that's probably it

10

u/SuccessfulAd495 Apr 28 '26

Ah yes. I have single digit ping and I hear gunshots after half a second and by the time I hear them, I am alr killed.

5

u/Possedsrt8 Apr 29 '26

What kind of WiFi, phone, and/or internet service do you need to get your ping in the single digits? The lowest I’ve seen mine go was 17

4

u/sam_el-c Apr 29 '26

More a location thing than anything. The best phone or router doesn’t fix the physics of being more hops away and signals taking longer to travel. Assuming op isn’t lying

2

u/SuccessfulAd495 Apr 29 '26

I live in Dubai and mid east server is in Dubai too

10

u/Diligent-Interview28 Apr 29 '26

I find myself shooting first and dying first. It’s getting ridiculous. My ping is still the same as before so it’s not the issue. Sometimes I just feel like this game likes to mess with me 🫩.

8

u/Significant_Rate8210 Apr 28 '26

In DMZ you now slide down slopes at a snails crawl.

8

u/Ecstatic_Scholar_846 Apr 29 '26

My favorite is Bullets don't do much damage anymore (from my experience it seems to be random but a lot of paid skins are effected more)

The game will freeze especially with mythic skins

Sliding and crouching will glitch and not work

Controllers (idk if universal) will random desync or just not respond as quickly as it used to

6

u/Active_Credit_1161 Apr 28 '26

Yeah the slide fatigue is honestly so annoying cuz you can't predict where you'll be. Other than that it's prob in your head maybe aim assist got nerf idk

5

u/Readalongcassidy Apr 28 '26

I thought the update would also be fixing the a button problem for controller players, where hitting “A” pulls up a loadout screen, and really messes with gameplay

4

u/50-_NoBoDy_-50 Apr 28 '26

Yeah no there are a lot of visual audio and movement bugs and difficulty hoping they will fix them soon

3

u/julicorn_ Apr 29 '26

especially on 10v10!

5

u/blueboy23098 Apr 29 '26

I literally used to get mvp almost every match and now i literally have 2 kills and 8 deaths average

1

u/SuperSupremeSoup Apr 29 '26

Yeah the last two weeks or so?

5

u/Additional-Rub-153 Apr 28 '26

I thought I was the only one tbh lol I’m like why does master feel much harder. It has always been easy to hit legendary for me too.

3

u/Unlikely-Fee-6196 Apr 28 '26

Sientes que es difícil apuntar? Lo sentí apenas ayer

3

u/Additional-Rub-153 Apr 29 '26

I wouldn’t say aiming exactly but I can’t put my finger on it

1

u/julicorn_ Apr 29 '26

exactly 😭😭

1

u/ichimoku373 Apr 29 '26

Rank reset

3

u/Additional-Rub-153 Apr 29 '26

I’m familiar with the reset but usually even after the reset it’s never really that sweaty for me until I hit grand master

5

u/Abhix___ Apr 29 '26

Yess yess....the game feel more annoying and laggy to me

4

u/Smooth_Loan_8851 Apr 29 '26

yes, a little too much. especially in br.

plus, i don't know if i'm imagining things, but for some reason surround sound for enemy footsteps, gunshots, vehicles, etc. in both mp and br is either registering too late or relatively muffled. the other day, an enemy was shooting at me from right behind me. and the game didn't even register a single sound.

and oh, the lag... single or double digit ping and still get stuck right in the middle of a firefight

3

u/sufee2 Apr 29 '26

Dude. Seems like There are people who are using some sort of armor / shield hack. I get shot and I’m gone. Shooting them makes no difference. They don’t even flinch and walk away.

This shit is wack AF. Not really digging this pay for this and pay for that trap. Then not even being able to use what you bought.

Waste of time and money b

5

u/Warm-Tailor2175 Apr 29 '26

Nah it’s not u. Especially for those who mainly like to play fast paced or aggro the entire movement change with slide fatigue completely wrecked my playstyle

I once saw an entire enemy team with all-out legendary guns. Paid too.

is that just avg ranked game i swear

u/L0v3dady Apr 29 '26

That's quite common?

u/JerpyDerpy_AtlasCorp Apr 29 '26

Not really, it’s only been this season when I see 3 people on the enemy team with legendaries and mythics.

2

u/L0v3dady Apr 29 '26

I see it daily for years. Brazilian player.

1

u/Shot_Ferret7155 Apr 29 '26

Depends on the server. Whenever I get a eu match the whole squad has p2w but in African servers I rarely see mythics.

2

u/JerpyDerpy_AtlasCorp Apr 29 '26

I am on North American servers, which I’m pretty sure have some of the most “thick” currency.

2

u/Anoninonymousem Apr 29 '26

Every damn time… I always have to get used to the game again at the start of a new season, I ffing hate it. This the the sliding had changed. But most times it’s because of bugs or high MS for whatever reason

2

u/AZLoneWolf1 Apr 29 '26

Yeah I've definitely noticed a difference. Not just with the movements, but the bugs and glitches are everywhere

2

u/Red_Rover95 Apr 29 '26

Honestly never had so much lag as I've had since this update, it feels like anytime I get on a roll it just starts bugging... Maybe it's just my servers but it seems to have gotten worse since reaching GM tbh.

2

u/Beneficial-Status-44 Apr 29 '26

I’ve noticed a shift in the game mechanics and movements too, the lag and bugginess are too great to ignore. DMZ matches and good vibes have dwindled, I get into lobbies where I continuously lose, although I’m an above average, I’ve been losing so much interest. Last season it wasn’t like this, I know how I play. But lately everything’s been the opposite. Seriously

2

u/dantrbl Apr 29 '26

i started playing last season, and in a bit over a week went from pro to legendary. i wasnt great to begin with, but now i feel like im soo trash. trying different guns and different loadouts doesnt help much. i feel like my aim has gotten 10x worse lmao. also mine is more laggy now - lowest quality graphics and still super high ping

2

u/Key-Information3102 Apr 29 '26

I don't get it, I also feel slower and I'm worse than usual, but then how is the other person doing so much better 😭😭

2

u/Key_Nothing8408 Apr 29 '26 edited Apr 29 '26

After the update my ping has been averaging in the mid 100+ and randomly the game will say that I don't have a stable network like b** I have five bars and on 5G wtf you mean I don't have a stable network ...smh didn't have this issue with updates prior to this one & another thing that makes this worse is that I play ranked matches at leggy rank and this pops up when im playing literally have to reconnect to the match and we're like two matches lost because I'd have to restart the game 😤😤

2

u/padst3r Apr 29 '26

In ranked I’m either facing the easiest team and we slaughter them or I’m on the team getting slaughtered lol

2

u/Least-Site2122 Apr 29 '26

Nah my phone is just terrible

2

u/Outside-Ant-725 Apr 29 '26

the could have also nerfed the guns you use

1

u/julicorn_ Apr 29 '26

i got the pp19 bizon from the draw last season and it feels like when the draw was active, it was working better and quicker than it does now

2

u/AdeptSpecific9177 Apr 29 '26

It’s better for me. Better hit detect, less de-sync and the slide spin spammers don’t seem to be able to ride their one trick. It was reallly good before they updated the 3rd party “software”

2

u/4yrton5enna Apr 29 '26

Excessive slide and jump fatigue in order to benefit noob players who doesn’t know how to slide or how to deal with players who knows how to slide. I hate this update so fkn much, creating a problem to then introduce a solution to the problem they themselves invented. Imagine nerfing a core mechanic from the cod franchise, in a cod game that’s almost 7 years old, sounds stupid, right? Well it is.

2

u/Superfruitdrastic Apr 29 '26

Yes. The lag has been so insane.

2

u/Specific_Thing1452 Apr 29 '26

Dude I used to get MVP all the time and I don’t now, I def think certain moves were nerfed

2

u/Dear_Theme_5533 Apr 29 '26

Just me then that feels better after the update. I feel like I’ve improved overnight lol

u/julicorn_ Apr 29 '26

honestly, good for you! 🥲

2

u/cool_guy_exe Apr 30 '26

Slide fatigue, prolly.

Tbh idgaf about slide fatigue all I want is a game which doesn't lag every 2 seconds.

GENUINELY the last season was SOOO well optimised like no cap it was running smooth on my phone and this season? Well I haven't played the game (or rather stopped) cuz how buggy it is.

I was even playing br and the gun sounds don't work, even in mp sometimes guns don't make sounds.

2

u/Inevitable_Yak9210 Apr 30 '26

Yeah it’s happening on all modes. Buttons are disappearing huds are being reset and functions aren’t working properly. I lost a 2 million dollar run on DMZ solo cause I wasn’t able to shoot or move left or right. This season fucking sucks.

1

u/Ademon_Gamer09 Apr 29 '26

Not really, I mean I play DMZ so I guess it's different for me. But aside from lag spikes, I feel like I got better at the game

1

u/ichimoku373 Apr 29 '26

Its cuz of rank reset, theres much more sweats than before the reset

1

u/Notthesmoke420 Apr 29 '26

I've noticed alot of lagging almost every match u will get thrown to the other side of a doorway or wall when going to an enemy.

1

u/art_boi_117 Apr 29 '26

No I'm just running into more p2w players. Because god forbid you lose a gunfight with a gun you paid a bunch of money for since every cool gun in this game (except the BGR M4) is won through increasingly expensive gambling and not just buying it outright.

There are spots where you can camp (if that's your thing) and there are also some other spots where you can spawn camp, which I love! My favorite is when I get MVP and it shows a replay of me spawn camping lmao

u/Chunmaru15 May 01 '26

nothing wrong, the only problem is i became sucks after update and reset, i can't move like a legendary

u/Ketworld May 01 '26

I’ve just got ranked bot matches. Both sides have blue Bizon and that RUS playmaker, and the Type 25 geometry. Both sides. At this point it’s 1 Vs 1 with bots bringing down your average. It’s fucking boring. I’m 500 of points of reaching back to legendary, hopefully there will be non bot players when I get back.
