NCA-Paendrag 2,664 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 After a couple rounds I am not too impressed. TTK seems fast only when I die. I probably aim too low though. Feels a bit slow but am used to AW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BO7H B4RRELS 2,447 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I don't know if it's due to the mix of NA/EU that we had or what... but the connection was right back to the old CoD shit. One game it was good, another is sucked ass. One round it was fine, the next it was bad. I hate the inconsistency. I was excited about it the first day, but after today, I don't know...

Plumbers Crack 4,033 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Played again tonight and I'm getting the feeling that it's not for me - still,with party chat I can still hear the rage and banter!

Baabcat 1,642 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 First impressions were pretty good, always liked pick 10 and I think trey arch will do a good job on challenges. I sucked but after 8 months of no CoD I wasnt surprised that I did. Connection was a bit hit or miss but the jumping stuff seemed more fun than annoying.

Corey the Kiwi 83 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Are the codes region locked? Is just EU and NA? I just tried iGotMollyWhopped's code and it didn't seem to work. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Kia Ora. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerBurge 2,374 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 We need to remember this is a beta. It's not finished. 3arc has said they are tweaking things. Honestly the connection has been pretty damn good even playing on a EU connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capn_Underpants 401 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 The game itself, I like. But I'm wasting too much time in the lobby trying to get a team together! Can't wait for a hotfix or something to fix that. Connection has been pretty good. Today it was a little worse, but it is still a BETA so I'm not too worried. I'd like to buy the game for sure.

Ixion 0 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Apparently they're adding a new map and Uplink later today as well as upping the level cap. Hopefully got a few hotfixes in with that to sort out the connection and party issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

techno 3,476 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Yep I'd like to thask treyarch for the beta because it's put me off...I think there's way to much broken for them to change enough before release and I don't miss the rage it induces....it might be the end for me and cod.

Diddums 4,305 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Right. Well, after a long ass download I finally managed to get some time in. I'm not going to mention the matchmaking because it's been fixxored. So far it's typical CoD as always. This is my favourite corner, what objective LOL, why the fuck should I shoot down the UAV?, but I like standing in this doorway, imma just lie here in the way and snipe,who gives a shit if we lost and I went 3 and 46 I got a 360 noskoap LOL bullshit community which is to be expected. That said, the game itself isn't too bad. The lag sometimes makes me want to rip my eyeballs out and the hit detection is shocking but then this is Call of fucking Duty, would we expect anything else? The maps seem way too busy so spotting enemies can be a bitch, especially on that map which has a bit of snow on it. Also, maps with holes in them. What the fuck? I'm also not a fan of the water but that's splitting hairs. I must admit that I do enjoy it. The pace is just right, the movement is second to none, the TTK seems perfect, it looks great and has loads of killstreaks and shit which keep it fresh. The create a class system is pretty much a copy and paste of BO2 which is great, I think Treyarch really hit the nail on the head with that. A few gameplay related things I thought I'd mention: EMPs suck. I haven't played CoD since BO2 so can't compare them to Ghosts or AW but compared to BO2 they are fuckin shite, they do this stupid HUD reboot thing which feels too much like a gimmick, just disable everything and get on with it, old style. I like that when you flip out a launcher to shoot a UAV that it will tell you if a team mate has locked on too, so you don't go spunking your rockets for nothing. With the amount of UAV spam we're experiencing at the moment this really helps for anti air folks like me. The UAV spam is ridiculous, I reckon I could get the top scorestreaks if I had scavenger and just shot down all the stuff in the sky. It's mental. I do feel that UAVs should be slightly harder to get. Same for counter UAVs. The maps flow quite well but I hope that the release has some bigger maps in it as these can be a bit of a clusterfuck at times. The spawn system seems borked every now and then but when you've got 12 people all running around at quite a high pace in such a tight space then I don't think there's much you can do about it, par for the course really. I'll add more as I think of it. This is a definite purchase for me. If you can overlook the bullshit community and the game's typical CoD flaws you will have a good time.

Sennex 1,903 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 what ultimately killed the game for me was that spawn trapping was still possible. I zoned in, whole team was locked at C, cluster bombs and other shit just kept dropping. The robot dude was mowing people down with his super, and the class with the grenade launcher just kept spamming an area. I had 10, or so, deaths before someone on the other team actually flipped it. I went to a new lobby and it was the same thing again. I appreciate Sam giving me a code, but I think someone else would have enjoyed it better, sorry folks Luke 23:34 'And Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they don't think it be like it is, but it do."

Ixion 0 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 This new game mode is the worse thing I've ever seen, save yourself the effort and don't play it. Spawn trappers heaven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCA-Paendrag 2,664 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I was a bit dissapointed by the graphics compared to the trailer though. Trailer looked awesome but playing it it doesnt look that much better than AW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techno 3,476 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 So far I'm a bit disappointed that I'm pretty certain perk 3 greed flak jacket ghost will be my class with probably razorback with rds quick draw and stock and when I hit the level reaper specialist. Tactical nades are a pain and need sorting. Agree with dids a lot of the maps just have too much shit on it and it's hard to pick people out and enjoy commando Usain bolt knifers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey the Kiwi 83 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Yeah nah, Call of Duty is still not for me. I think the last one I got was ghosts? I just don't enjoy playing the game anymore. MW2 probably had the most bullcrap in it but at least it had an identity. I think Call of Duty lost itself trying to compete with fundamentally superior games. I definitely will not be buying this game. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Kia Ora. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
