So over the weekend I put a lot more time into the Xbox version of this game. To this point I've been a ton of time in on the PS4 and I had really play very little on the Xbox. It said I had about 14 hours in on the multiplayers on Xbox but the reality is that 12 hours of that was my kid, who plays on my account on Xbox.
So what I think I've found about the game, having played it quite a bit now on both systems.
1) It seems like the hit detection is actually quite a bit better on Xbox.
2) It seems as though I don't get nearly as many laggy lobbies as PS4. Does Xbox have their servers for the game more regionalized? It seemed like the game just ran way more smoothly.
3) The graphics are better on PS4. They're brighter, more clear, more clean. But the Graphics are still very good on Xbox.
4) The competition doesn't seem as good on Xbox.
Now #4 leads me to a question though. I know that there is supposedly skill based match making in this game. If that's the case I'm wondering how much of a difference that makes in this game.
On my PS4 I'm the only one who plays on my multiplayer account. My son can play zombies on PS4, but not my multiplayer. I have a 1.3, almost 1.4, K/D. Now I realize this is very average but I'm just a very average player. Across all CoD's I average between 1.3-1.7 K/D. Interestingly enough my highest K/D ever of 1.7 was on MW3 which was my least favorite game in the series, prior to AW coming out last year.
Anyway...On my Xbox when I started playing this weekend my K/D was a .5 as my son has played 12 of the 14 hours on the console. This weekend, during the time I put in, I raised if from the .5 to a .9
Now the reason I ask how important is the skill based match making is this...I haven't really found that the lobbies have gotten any tougher on the Xbox despite my K/D steadily climbing. Meanwhile on PS4 it seems like almost every lobby is way more competitive. I dominate on Xbox WAY more often then I do on PS4. Is there a magic number in which these skill bases kick in? Is it really that important and that's why all these youtube, people, and other fools, are intentionally killing their own K/D's so they can get into easier lobbies?
Just some observations and questions I had from playing this weekend.
One last thing about all that I found that I rage a heck of a lot less on Xbox than I have on PS4.
