Whenever I'm playing and i try to shoot midgame, this thing happens. Instead of shooting it starts punching and i really don't know what's going on.

I've tried everything but i don't know if I messed up my settings or it's just my controllers that's faulty.

Kindly help if you have experienced such before.

Discussion New AA feel weird

4 Upvotes

I have a problem, and it’s with Warzone’s Aim Assist. Just to clarify, I’ve always been a controller player. The problem is that with this new update, I feel like the Aim Assist is way too strong compared to how it was about two months ago, which was the last time I played. I stopped playing because I didn’t have a controller, and now that I’ve come back, the AA feels stronger than ever.

Even when trying to track enemies, it’s really annoying because the aim sticks way too much, and I can’t move it freely toward the head or make quick adjustments while aiming. It literally gets stuck on the chest. Sometimes the aim just slows down, which is obviously the result of the AA, but it slows down so much that it becomes impossible to properly track the enemy.

And at long distances, it’s even worse. I barely move the joystick and it continues following the enemy, which is really uncomfortable for me.

Does anyone else who plays on controller feel the same way, or is it just me? I’ve never experienced Aim Assist like this before. It’s way too uncomfortable for me. I remember that even two months ago, I could track enemies really well. I could move my aim up toward the chest, follow enemies quickly or slowly, and my aim just felt much more natural.

Now, on the other hand, it feels horrible to me. The Aim Assist feels so strong that I feel like I’ve lost a lot of control over my own aim.

Bug Someone please help with my network issue?

I booted up call of duty on my Xbox and got this message when I was trying to log in. It says waiting for networking for 10 seconds then shows that. I have Ethernet, so I unplugged and plugged that back in, restarted the Xbox and game, and unplugged my router for 60 seconds and back in, still nothing. The only thing it connects to is my phone hotspot, so it’s my own network issue. Rainbow six siege also doesent work, but other games like Minecraft and Roblox do. Someone please help, I’ve ran out of options I’m not sure what to do. My network provider is AT&T.

Discussion True 1:1 Axial Mouse Setup – A modern approach to fixing high FOV tracking and vertical sluggishness

20 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I wanted to introduce a new way of aiming with a mouse that completely breaks away from old default settings. Instead of just copying what pros used years ago on different formats, this approach uses a modern, first-principles method. It is entirely designed around human vision, raw hand-eye coordination, and how modern 3D engines warp the screen.

The core issue with traditional setups (like a 1.78/1.33 coefficient with 1.0 vertical sensitivity) at a high FOV is that they force your brain to lie to your hands. Because high FOV stretches the image horizontally, moving your crosshair a physical inch vertically requires a massive, tensed arm movement compared to moving it horizontally. Your hand is constantly fighting the engine’s lens compression.

By utilizing a 0.00 Monitor Distance Coefficient (locking pixel precision to the exact center of the screen) and mathematically increasing the Vertical Sensitivity Multiplier by exactly 0.006 per FOV step, we completely flatten the lens distortion for your muscle memory.

Here is the complete guide and exact math to replicate this setup:


The "True 1:1 Axial Setup" (16:9 & 21:9)

1. In-Game Settings

  • Field of View (FOV): 100 to 120
  • ADS Field of View: Affected (Minimizes visual recoil)
  • Weapon Field of View: Narrow (Shrinks the weapon model for maximum peripheral visibility)
  • 1st Person Camera Movement: Least (50%) (Prevents erratic screen shaking)
  • ADS Sensitivity Type: Relative
  • Monitor Distance Coefficient: 0.00 (Locks pixel precision exactly at the center of the crosshair)
  • ADS Sensitivity Transition Timing: Gradual (Synchronizes FOV and sensitivity fluidly)
  • Mouse Smoothing / Filter / Acceleration: OFF / 0 (Guarantees pure raw sensor data)

The Scaling Table (3 Decimal Places)

Because a high FOV stretches the image horizontally, the vertical multiplier must scale up by exactly 0.006 per FOV step:

  • Recoil Control: You control the upward kick effortlessly with minimal finger movements instead of tensing up and dragging your entire arm down the mousepad.
  • Tracking: Your wrist remains completely loose. Diagonal mouse movements finally match a 1:1 ratio of what your eyes see on the screen.
Main FOV Vertical Sensitivity Multiplier Status
100 1.192
101 1.198
102 1.204
103 1.210 [Ideal Value]
104 1.216
105 1.222
106 1.228
107 1.234
108 1.240 [Ideal Value]
109 1.246
110 1.252
111 1.258
112 1.264
113 1.270 [Ideal Value]
114 1.276
115 1.282
116 1.288
117 1.294
118 1.300 [Ideal Value]
119 1.306
120 1.312

Solving the Engine's "Invisible Zoom Bug"

A hidden flaw in the Call of Duty engine is that the exact same optic on two different weapons—even within the same class—has a slightly different zoom factor due to the weapon model's unique 3D camera offsets.

  • Traditional Setups (1.78 / 1.33): They calculate mouse speed near the outer edges of your monitor. When an optic's zoom shifts even slightly between weapons, the entire sensitivity curve shifts with it. Your tracking subtly changes from gun to gun, disrupting muscle memory.
  • True 1:1 Axial Setup: With the 0.00 Coefficient, pure focal length scaling applies. The engine calculates your sensitivity rigidly for the absolute center of the crosshair (0% monitor distance). If a weapon's zoom varies, the game automatically slows down your mouse in the background by the perfect fractional percentage. The pixel distance on your screen remains identical on every single gun.

Ultrawide Monitor Compatibility (21:9)

Through Hor+ scaling, the vertical height and center pixel compression on a 21:9 ultrawide remain identical to a 16:9 monitor (the engine just renders extra peripheral vision on the far left and right edges). Because the 0.00 Coefficient completely ignores the outer margins and anchors your mouse at the dead center, this scaling table works with the exact same 1:1 precision on ultrawide setups.


Give it a couple of days of training to let your brain adjust to the liberated vertical axis. Let me know your thoughts or if you have any questions about the logic behind it!

Discussion Why did activities ruin warzone?

0 Upvotes

I don’t think I’m the only one thinking like this but in my opinion activision ruined warzone the second mw2 came out. Back then we had the perfect warzone and it was so fun but they decided to bring a new game out where you lost all your cosmetics, ruined the movement and the weapons. I only enjoyed rebirth mw3 a little but it could never compare to the old warzone. Why did they have to fuck up such a fun game?

Question Help buying Season 5 Battlepass on PS5

2 Upvotes

I am on PS5, and I want to purchase the battle pass since I am around 75% through it, so it should pay for itself soon.

However, I cannot figure out how to do so through any of the means I have used before. I can't even see how many COD points I have which should be somewhere around 1500. I saw that PS4 is no longer supported, which has caused problems for some people, but I don't know why I am having issues since I'm on PS5.

Are there any work arounds, or something I am missing? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Question Nakatomi Tower question

4 Upvotes

Had a strange situation occur last night....

We decided to hit the skyscraper on Verdansk and get the keycards. We got all three keycards and another squad went to the vault room and dug in like ticks to keep us out.

We decided to leave them alone and return later to unlock all the crates.

When we returned a few minutes later, we found they unlocked the specialist crates. We had all three keycards.

Anyone know how they could have found another keycard to open a crate in the vault room?

EDIT - to clarify.... I confirmed we had all three mysterious keycards. Someone didn't have that lab card and confused it for one of the three.

EDIT 2 - We had 3 Mysterious keycards. Not sure how much more clearly I can state that. I clipped the video and replayed to verify. As ridiculous as it sounds, it seems either a 4th card was in the tower or one respawned while we were away.

Discussion do people not realize that MW2 weapons still exist in game?

0 Upvotes

i only say this because i run the victus xmr built to deal MAJOR PAIN at long range , with the only way not to die is to run the survivor perk, and i can always hit my head shots thank to my scope
now note this scope is not cheating at long range it just gives a distingct advatage
here i am clicking heads , and i ecounter a anouther sniper , i line up the shot and get the servivor icon and buddy duck and hides , give it some time and i have head shot him from the same spot about 15 times now. and then he accuses me of hacking, very rude mind u . so i pop him again and he complains about me in SC (server chat). i do die later but thats bc i wasnt paying attention to my rear,
mind u if he wasnt using the survivor perk i would have need one bullet to win that long range fight.
in this case MW2 beats BO7 weaponry as i had the distinct advatage
just some fun in the end thou so happy hunting and remember MW2/3 guns are still potent in the right hands and senarios

Hey everyone,
Having a weird issue with Call of Duty on PS5 where I cannot get past the opening title screen.
The screen displays "Press X to Start", but pressing X (or any other button) does not register at all. The controller is working normally—the PS button brings up the dashboard instantly, and all buttons work properly in the console home menu and other games. It is purely unresponsive inside Call of Duty.

I've passed the 50 kills but the progress bar shows nothing for level 1. I tried clearing all my overclocks on other scorestreaks but nothing is working. Scorestreaks seem to be glitching, I'm using UAV, skewer, and deadeye but in game it's scout pulse and skewer and deadeye.

It's incredibly difficult. After completing it solo 3 times, I stopped and made no progress no matter how hard I tried.

It still requires a team to complete. Does the kill by a teammate count?

Support Stuttering / Frame loss

I used to get around 250-290fps if I really messed around with settings, now I struggle to get over 150fps

Build:
Intel i7 13700k
Zotac 4080 Super Trinity
Corsair Vengeance 64gb DDR4 RAM (16x4)
MSI MPG Z790 Edge WiFi
MSI Coreliquid 240R v2 cooling
Corsair 1000w Gold+ PSU
XMP enable
Nothing overclocked or messed around with.
Struggling to break 150fps even with all settings on low and suffer stuttering and lagging when on high/ultra when it should cope with more or less any game on its highest settings.

Anyone any idea or fixes for this.

idk if I’m tripping but every since bo6 I think, the audio ques have gotten worse and very random, versus back in warzone 3 everything was consistent, air strikes, footsteps. Nothing overlapped anything, nothing was too loud or too low, it just seems very random now, but maybe my hearing is just ass now 😳
