The only thing I'm dreading about the World Cup is this wanker

Not that play football, but handball they have God on their side remember

Fixed that for you

Xbox 360 owners did upgrade.... ...to PS4 Anyone who hasn't upgraded can't afford to at present because the Xbox One is a rip-off even Kinectless and when they have got that sort of money; a PS4 makes more sense I think Microsoft are absolutely desperate and are just trying to convince themselves that everything is fine. The amount of u-turns they are doing is unheard of and just shows how ridiculous their initial policies were. They should rename the console Xbox One-eighty for all the u-turns they do.

I think they'll of be of more interest to Man Yoo fans assuming Van Gaal gets the job.

Samir Nasri left out of the French squad and no room for Tevez for Argentina. Not too surpised by the Tevez one, but Nasri being left out is a bit of a shock!

One of my best decisions I've made in gaming is switching to PlayStation. One PS+ membership per house. Unlike Xbox it's per person. The kid loves getting all the free games on the PS3.

It's a preference. I prefer modern era FPS. I don't mind World War II FPS, but I still prefer modern era FPS. It's the same thing here. I still prefer the modern era FPS over future anything. I respect that they're trying something new, and I'm sure at one point i'll try the game, but as far as i'm concerned this is just a reskin of what they have been doing. I've only enjoyed CoD4 and MW2 the most. MW3 was MW2.0 with mediocre maps, Black Ops had the worst connection on any game that I've ever played, Black Op 2 was good, but the connection was hit or miss, and Ghosts is kinda a joke at this point. Four Call of Duties later and they still don't have the formula correct, as a consumer my hopes are not high for this installment either. Until they release a PS4/Xbox One/PC only Call of Duty, I really don't think i'll be that interested to be honest.

Have those plebs even seen other Batman media that WASN'T the movies? Christ in sweet n' sour sauce... It defintely reminds of his costume in The Dark Knight Returns Remember, this Batman is supposed to be retired from being Bats, just like his comic counterpart.

I thought I'd do a thread about people's hopes and demands for this game. So Ghosts wasn't quite the innovation we were promised or expecting. A few things renamed but the premise was all too similar. I think Advanced Warfare has the opportunity to really change the infrastructure of the game with perks expected to be attached to the suit and not the usual list that we've seen before renamed or not. This could be pretty neat if we get things like jump boosts and extra cloaking seconds or something as opposed to the usual stuff that we've seen before such as Steady Aim. I think the perk system has been really good in the franchise particularly when balanced and to diversify between modes accordingly but I'd love to see it overhauled into something different. The one thing about Ghosts that I hated was the Squad Point system. They were far to easy to earn and the challenge was all but extinguished in terms of unlocking weapons and attachments. This used to be very satisfying in the likes of MW2 especially when going for camo and attachments. You often had to use things you weren't used of or comfortable with but that made it even more worthwhile and enjoyable to accomplish. Without this core challenge and just perks to unlock; you'd see everyone rolling the likes of Honey Badger and other overly-popular items. This was a major factor in why I got bored very quickly. I also want the Prestige system to be scrapped or modified. I love a grind but ranking in COD of late has become so easy and dissatisfying; prestige only seems to represent how much you play the game now; it doesn't demonstrate the player you are and how good you play. It seems to be dumbed-down to keep people interested without the long term chore but many players would loved to have accomplishments that actually show the effort you have put in. Battlefield 4 has a superb structure; 120 levels to sift though, medals, assignments, weapons, attachments, basically everything on offer has to be unlocked based on a catalogue of requirements such as kills, score, heals, revives etc...Battlepacks also add something new and sometimes it's nice to see some good stuff being unlocked that way. It's like a present every time you rank up. You can't beat seeing an XP bonus of 200% in your gold Battlepack. It makes ranking satisfying and you don't know what you're going to get. The assignment and general attachments unlocks provide a challenge and aren't rank unlock dependent. This gives you the opportunity to be responsible for what you can earn without relying on just a ranking level to unlock items. The challenge is basically down to you and you can choose what and when you want to attempt to unlock certain things. This is a brilliant format which offers huge depth and rewards you accordingly based on your performances. I hope the maps are rich and varied. I hated the core maps on Ghosts and the DLC weren't that much of an improvement. Freight echoed a good Call of Duty styled map but the likes of Chasm represented everything that we didn't want to see with embarrassing dynamic features. Everything felt lackluster and dated. I'm hoping that if we have super jumps and more vertices gameplay. I'm not hoping for Titanfall-inspired window jumping into buildings but I'd love to see some elevation in the map design if jumping is going to be a feature in the multiplayer. I hope the player count may be upped to 12v12 or something and that the maps are sizable but not oversized. I'd love to see more atmosphere and effects such as rain and snow. The current maps are rather bland and simple. Whiteout had a really good look and vibe to it but it was pretty basic. I want them to do away with this camo DLC culture and tacky game mode inclusions. Just have a popular playlist and no novelty items. Ghosts bordered on the ridicilous with Snoop Dog and a load of shoddy DLC. They really need to change the Microtransaction format. It's a good idea; it's not pay to win or anything but it's hardly being utilized in a mature and appealing manner. I'd love to see a map a month or something that continuously engages the gamer. A new weapon per class a month or anything that keeps the dry periods filled with content regardless of the Xbox exclusivity. To think of what COD used to be and what it has become is depressing. The commercial side is so samey and predicable and when they do finally do something different; it's farcical. If you had told me Snoop Dog was commentating on COD just 2 years ago; I wouldn't have believed it. Now it's happened; it's just stupid. I don't know who they are catering for or the who their target audience has become but the brand is derailing itself from normality. I hope Sledgehammer take a more sensible and mature route to keep the brand and their game consistent with what the series initially was. Black Ops 2 only brought the Peacekeeper, Ghosts has had a couple of guns but BF4 is offering plenty of weapons and items per DLC drop along with solid maps and new modes. These packs are great value but COD is just scrapping for anything it seems because they know they'll sell it to some. I want AW to represent huge quality and justify itself as the most lucrative brand in gaming.

Any kind of ghost/assassin make it work if your moving like blops you will always get campers but at least make it as difficult as possible. Proper UAV too, not this sat com bull.

I'll probably go buy one latter this year...just have to pay for car repairs then its all to video games haha.

First and foremost, everyone wants a good connection. I want the prestige system to be redone. As stated above it's shit. I want to be able to unlock guns through my prestige and not be able to buy whatever gun I want, whenever I want. Because of this system, I immediately buy guns like the honey badger and never try guns like the.... See I don't even know all the gun names. In MW2 and CoD4 I could name all the guns simply because at one point or another you had to try them because you didn't unlock that damn AK-47 yet. I want that back. Then when you use the gun you unlock at level 4 you have to unlock attachments the more you use it. So if you unlocked a sniper rifle, you would actually need to put some effort into the gun to get it max level before you get your thermal scope. That's the kind of system I want. I really wish Call of Duty developers would stop catering to new players. When we started playing World at War, CoD4, MW2 or before all that, we didn't have target finders and shit. Hell naw. We had to get better (LOL). They need to get better too or they can give up and play Mario Kart. We need brighter maps. Not flamboyant Nuketown maps... Just brighter maps. Stop using dark colors to cover up your ancient engine. Allow me to complete whatever challenge I want to complete and don't limit me. Looking at you Ghosts! One of my favorite things to do with John is unlock challenges, compare what challenges we have done and work on game mode challenges together. So Ghosts failed with that in my opinion. They fixed it as of late but the sting is still there. Killstreaks... Call me old fashioned, but I want 3 default killstreaks and that's it. Just like CoD4. I know that's not going to ever happen though. So what I do want is Barebones back, HQ, and all the other fun game modes. Not this Blitz shit. Oh and I want my classic UAV back and Stinger. I'm done. I think.

Not much for me...I want infinity ward connection, like mw2 and ghosts, I would like better stats/leaderboards and challenges. I want prestige and unlocking stuff to be more difficult, everything was a bit to easy in Ghosts. I agree with OP, scrap the squad point crap all together, it was a nice idea but I want the old system back. Also please don't add C4. Fuck C4.

How times change! This was the ball back when Scotland last qualified: This was Scotland when they last won a game

Ever wanted to know all the details about the new World Cup football? No? Tough http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-27375349

The one issue, of many, that i have with the whole camo thing is that they obviously spend time and money coming up with these camos......well if they've time for that then why don't they seem to have time fixing the game? Ghosts has actually been the best cod, for a lack a bullshit, that i've played on. People will scream no it's not and that's fair but they've obviously got shite internet. There's a lot that this game didn't offer to us, why they felt the need to completely dumb down the killstreaks i've no idea. I get their point is that they didn't want people to be ale to camp for swarms etc but all they did was make it not fun for the people who can actually get these streaks. I only run specialist when i play clan vs clan, any public match and i run anything but. They just need to not take away the parts of the game that people enjoy, even if it is for half decent reasons. I'll be the first to admit that getting swarmed by some guy sat in a house because your team mates are useless isn't fun but at least it's slightly exciting. Before i completely go off on one i'll put points down of things i want to see. - A better variation of maps, large, small but all decent. Free fall is the worst map i've ever played on any game ever, lets keep it that way. - Competitive! Just anything slightly competitive would be nice, copy blops2 if you must! - Crazy killstreaks, they're fun to get and adds a bit of excitement to the game. If they're going to put dogs in, then make it a pack of dogs and make it a high killstreak, not some tarded mut that does fuck all for you but merks tings as soon as he's with someone else. That's pretty much it for me, like i've said before, i enjoy ghosts but it does seem to be missing that something that blops2 and mw3 had. But i've give it all up for the game just to work properly

I can't stand that man, so that picture is perfect!

Nothing but facts from this man ^

I am not a massive fan of futuristic games but that won't be a major put-off for me on AW. I just don't want COD to drift too far from its identity. I was there from day one when it was a classic war-based shooter and the risk they took bringing it into the modern era with COD 4 paid off as it gave a believable portrayal that people could relate to and scope to expand the weapons and technology. Advanced Warfare is bordering on fictional and a vision of what the future may hold but I don't want this risk to fall into the realms of fantasy with an unfamiliar style that drifts too far from the Call of Duty formula. I think it's a risk Sledgehammer are taking although it does open the floodgates to interpretation of the future and a wealth of funky new technology that could be fun to use. I just don't want the franchise distancing itself from it's popular roots. People want innovation and the game to move forward but that doesn't mean it has to go deep into the future. They could have retained the current era and made a solid game out of that or even looked to the past. Black Ops 2 was a grounded multiplayer game and distanced itself away from the single player which kept the MP fairly sensible and not overly-chaotic. I hope Sledgehammer keeps the hallmarks of COD MP without going over the top.

It's because Argentina produce amazing attacking players and... Well... That's it really.

We should do a FG predictions for the world cup final and winner. Plus where you think England will get. For me: Final teams: Brazil Germany Winner: Brazil England Placing: Will not get out of group stages. Yep, that's fairly obvious final choices and winner...and pretty pessimistic on the England..hope I'm proved wrong.

Mike said it perfectly, I just don't like futuristic eras with laser guns and all that Sci-Fi stuff which is why I haven't pre ordered Destiny, I really like the sound of it though so I will see how many of my PS4 friends on here buy it first and get reviews before taking the gamble. With CoD however, if all of my friends are getting it then so will I because quite frankly its what brought us together in the first place.

French will be tough to beat, so long as they're all getting on, which, seeing as they are French, is extremely unlikely Nasri, though, I bet there's a few thousand gooners chuckling to themselves.

I still think Microsoft should have gone in for the #FaZe5 challenge, 180's to 360's all over the shop! The amount of people that are now pissed off because of this is priceless, they get sold a console for mega bucks, whilst being told you need kinect. Now they're like ooooh nooooes, actually because we're so nice (tranlates: because we're loosing big time against Sony) we're going to sell a console with weaker hardware for equal price but with nothing set itself apart. Great work!

Griezmann looks a real prospect.

Holy moly! 2 sides in DOM? Didn't think people had ears over there?

A pretty good article http://m.ign.com/articles/2014/05/13/using-sonys-playbook-microsoft-will-attempt-xbox-ones-turnaround

Yeah, not that long ago they were positive they'd never sell it without Kinect. Hopefully they don't come out in six months and say "we changed our minds, you have to buy a $100 Kinect for your console to work." Just get a PS4 dude, they're better in pretty much every way.

I've pre ordered on ps4.

Ps4. Note to self I need to preorder

New trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9BzsMkOrwM#t=334

I still haven't seen anything I like about this game, I hope there is no laser guns and shit or I won't buy it! Ok I will buy it and have around 10 days playing time but still...

Microsoft are selling consoles without Kinect next month for $400. Seems Microsoft are teetering on the brink of desperation! Oh and two months ago http://uk.ign.com/articles/2014/02/25/xbox-one-microsoft-isnt-planning-on-removing-kinect

I want AW to have the connection of IW games and the brilliance of Treyarch titles. We've never had a satisfactory happy medium with COD. If they get these factors right; COD will be back with a bang and justified.

I pre-ordered today from gamestop just to get code, they still had them. Edit: signed up on bungie.net, took no time, you can use your psn id to log in. Just enter code and your g2g. They will send a email at a later date to pick platform and stuff.
