“This is the year where the PC is going to excel,” - Call of Duty Dev
One of the biggest signs of that was the Call of Duty: WW2 open beta, which ends today. The beta ran relatively well, and boasted modest specs, an uncapped frame-rate, and other welcome features.
It turns out, it wasn’t a coincidence. Raven Software, the studio responsible for the PC port (and War mode), recently discussed how it’s making a special effort this year to bring PC players a proper Call of Duty.
“The World War 2 setting, and this game in particular I think, is very well suited for the PC community, in the way some of the recent releases haven’t [been],” Raven CTO Dwight Luetscher told PCGamer.
As such, it’s Raven’s mission to deliver a game that matches expectations of the PC community, while being able to responds to player feedback. “I think this year there’s a renewed energy around the PC,” said Luetscher.
“We really believe this is the year where the PC is going to excel. This is the year that we’re going to give it our best shot to win the hearts and minds of the PC community.”
It’s definitely a promising attitude, and will hopefully mean a player base at launch worthy of the Call of Duty name – something the past few Call of Duty games failed to attain.
Call of Duty: WW2 is out November 3 on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.

Potion They just need to enable crossplay so that everyone gets treated like first class citizens and any of the games population never drops extremely low.
I hope one day we can all play in harmony from different platforms with friendly competition.

I like the thought of crossplay but I feel pc would have such a upper hand in which they use i mouse and the hackers. I feel crossplay would be awesome between ps4/Xbox

I agree i wish all platforms can play together. It would benefit the game and developers and not the platform.
The graphics would just be what you are playing with. I hope it does excel in the pc side, its failed in the past and im pretty sure there will be hacks quickly on PC side like normal. I just hope they stay on top of the hacks

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH. the pc beta menus are stupid to navigate. Have to use A and D. The game doesn't have a server browser nor can you see your actual ping, just an arbitrary 3 bar ping system. No dedicated servers and the beta ran piss poor on most machines.

-Deanokittyderpylilrichard22 The mostly negative reviews on the PC beta were there for a reason
Well to be honest, most people leave a negative review on CoD just because it's CoD.
Not really. People leave negative reviews because the game is pretty poor.
I was prepared to purchase the game; I played the beta and it feels exactly like the previous recycled games - overall balancing is terrible and SMGs reign supreme like always. The only tactic is to rush with SMG, same as it has been for years.
I really hoped CoD WWII was going to bring new life back into the game but it just further confirmed how stale the series has become.
Balancing in the beta was poor? Thats what the beta was for, for that feedback.
Only tactic was not only to rush with smgs.
