Evening Phil.... League Two Colchester United produced a huge upset as they beat Premier League Tottenham on penalties to reach the Carabao Cup fourth round. The Essex side - the lowest-ranked team left in the competition - frustrated last year's semi-finalists throughout the 90 minutes and won a dramatic shootout after Christian Eriksen and Lucas Moura missed from the spot. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49723453 oh, wait...you've already seen it...sorry 😎

I liked to to be honest. I liked the squad spawn system or spawn on controlled points. It can be a bit chaotic but in a good way. Had a few nice games of it and had a few horrible ones. All in all I think they did well with it. It’s not Conquest but could be. Let’s remember this is their first do at something like this. If they had destruction like BF does then it would be on par as the movement and gun play of CoD is still superior to BF.

My thoughts are I'll never play it, unless I get the game and it's tied to a challenge I may want to complete. The fact that there is no incentive to ptfo is a major issue.

Wow, this documentary has nearly hit 10m views! Fallout 76 has put itself back in the news again today with collectible helmets that cost $150 being recalled due to dangerous levels of mould. Worth every penny to the morons that bought that cheap collectible shite😎 A Fallout 76 helmet sold at GameStop has been recalled because of mold WWW.POLYGON.COM The Nuka Cola-themed helmet was sold at GameStop, not included with collector’s edition

The last of us part II. I can't wait for it!

It's a bit of a mess really. Seems like IW thought they'd just make a bigger map, add more players, add more flags and it would work like normal matches albeit bigger. The map is too small for 32v32 let alone 50v50. 16v16 or even 20v20 would be more appropriate. Matches are a clusterfuck and with no squad system that conquest has, there's no real strategy you can adopt apart from capture what you can when you can, or just camp kill in the hope the rest of your team tries to capture. Battlefield has gone to shit but Conquest has always been crafted very well with appropriately-sized maps and a gameplay system that keeps players focused and matches flowing thanks to squads and the leader system. You rarely see people camping for the sake of it in conquest because it's counterproductive to the team and doesn't achieve many kills. GW will probably be used for players looking to build easy killstreaks and having a fuckload of targets to use them on. It could be fun now and then but I think more will swerve it to avoid the inevitable frustrations.

What's the thoughts on Ground War? It's cool they've tried to copy Battlefield with big maps, vehicles and 5 or 6 dom flags to capture, but the lack of destructive environment just means camping is aplenty Sent from my Samsung S9+ using Tapatalk

With the beta coming to a close, I think Modern Warfare is a promising game that takes some serious adjusting to. Whilst it does bring back a lot of old headaches from around a decade ago, it also does a lot of things very well that we haven't seen this gen. The PC version I found to be very impressive and quite satisfying to play which almost felt like COD 4 at times. The PS4 version was decent enough but felt somewhat dated on my ageing first gen system and had some horrendous post-processing effects which thankfully could be disabled on PC. I felt I adapted to the maps in the end and whilst matches seem faster than they initially appeared, I do think a couple are OTT design-wise although matches seem to flow pretty well even if they do appear very big. I never felt lost or starved for action. Guns feel good and the gunsmith is a neat implementation and could make class customisation very detailed. Killstreaks seem fun once again but UAV spam seemed rife. The interface could be better and I hope kill confirmed will return also. Crossplay is an excellent feature to have. I do fully understand why people don't like this game though. I have had a few matches where I was just not having fun whatsoever and frustrations were aplenty. The spawns need work and there were other things like bullet effects going through thick walls which looked trash. Annoying campers and terrible teammates were a stark reminder that the experience isn't always going to be enjoyable and with other small irritations, you have to ask yourself if you're willing to go through all that in the hope of having some enjoyment. On balance, I will probably get the game but it is way too early to gauge its potential long term appeal and overall quality. The campaign and special ops I am also interested in and it'll be nice to see what other maps are on offer. Here is my final match of the beta going 27-10 on Grazna Raid Domination which was great fun:-

I liked Lewis a hell of a lot, he was a great guy at Spurs and i thought a very decent player, if a bit undisciplined in terms of following team orders...but he was young then...nice addition IMO. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
