Liverpool 1-4 Man City Alisson went full Adrian tonight with two howlers! Liverpool had a strong team but look a shadow of their former selves. Imagine if they only get a Europa League place...

Actually over time I've personally preferred treyarch games, this one snacks of sledgehammer which treyarch had to finish. I also prefer cold war to mw19. Maybe the way forward would be to take the best parts of all.

I really don't understand why they don't just stop releasing a COD every year - well, maybe release a new campaign for £30 or whatever - and instead just keep updating a core game like Siege or Overwatch do. They should just copy bloody COD mobile at this point. I've played it and it's actually good fun: loads of weapons and modes, and they take maps from EVERY game that's been released.

This is an old but very fascinating video comparing the development style and ethos of Bungie working on the Halo games compared to the less experienced and more modern 343's approach. Well worth a watch and you can really see how the quality translates into the games just by how development is approached and the games are made

This has been on the cards for a long time sadly. By having a new COD every year, it's saturated the traditional deathmatch-type games and these just don't make the money Activision desire even with massive unit sales. The series has failed pathetically as an eSport but Warzone is raking in the money - literally well over $1bn a quarter on just cosmetic shite alone. Insane money really. COD mobile can also generate way more than its console version counterparts even being FREE which just shows what the gaming landscape has become from a business standpoint. Why bother selling 25m copies of a game when you can sell coloured guns and make even more money without spending a penny in the process? For me, COD has been dead since Black Ops 2 anyway so it's no big loss. I don't like the brand anymore and its filled with cancerous business practices and dickhead community members. It's barely recognisable to what it used to be. Things have actually gotten worse since supply drops which is crazy to think about. Warzone is laden with cheaters - some even notable streamers/content creators and Activision hasn't bothered about eradicating that problem until this week and even then it was a lame effort. Post launch support for these games now is shockingly bad especially with no season passes. Even zombies players have been well and truly fucked over. Even Treyarch don't give a fuck about the community now. Call of Duty is well and truly dead in its traditional sense. They'll milk the battle royale until 2025 and then I'm sure that will become unbearably saturated and something else will come to fruition. What's killed MP for me is SBMM along with fabricated factors impacting gameplay - it doesn't feel like a fair and genuine game. Old COD's had connection-based matchmaking and then lobby balancing and everything felt good. Now you can't trust anything and the sweaty mechanics just further kill the fun. There's just so many elements that have killed it for me and many veterans of the franchise. DICE have a big opportunity with Battlefield 6 so they'd better not fuck it up.

I'll bear it in mind. Not you being a dick, that goes without saying. This Tuesday while the second race is only 3 laps, its 3 long laps, so if you manage to do ok in race 1 I think you'll have a nice challenge in race 2 🙂

Whilst looking at the game i must have slipped and bought it, i should be on tomorrow for a bit @phil bottle 🙂

Despite it's visuals and combat mechanics, it looks pretty intriguing, and the crafting along with building seems absolutely solid. May take a put on it!
