I mean it’s pre alpha alpha alpha. It’s not a finished product. People crying about the video quality etc like it’s a completed game. I don’t know why people bother hacking and leaking stuff. It’s a game ffs…. 😂🙈

Nvidia announces RTX 4090 and 4080 graphics cards, DLSS 3 WWW.EUROGAMER.NET Nvidia has announced its latest generation of GeForce RTX graphics cards at its GTC AI conference - and its new DLSS 3 algorithm, which combines for mad results

Fantasy football is the real winner 👀

To be fair, as an idea I quite like the perk system. It kinda plays like the older CoD's where you earned more perks instead of killstreaks (I want to say it was called Specialist?). It's the balance of it I'm not so keen on - CoD to me has always been about making the choice of how you want to play and what compromises you want to make on your loadout. A great example that I keep changing between on MW2019 is Killchain where killstreaks count towards future streaks and EOD because of the grenade/RPG spam (especially in hardcore). It's the risk of being weaker against the chance of better rewards. But have an enemy team have a good start with UAV spam and your match is basically over as the enemy team know where you are the entire game with no chance of you "unlocking" ghost during the match. Thankfully I've only had a few matches totally snowball in to constant deaths due to UAV spam. However it still puts a massive advantage on the first team that gets a UAV because there's no counter until much later in the match.

I can only assume it didn't last 🤣

I was watching the percentage tick over this week... Was very scary as a few big scores went @techno 's way early on!

Ok tried it again and I'm sorry but the footstep audio is terrible and for me needs to go or get toned down, I can hope that some of the other maps are better because the hotel map is just awful. Also for me playing like mw19 doesn't cut it as I hate that game for probably the same reasons I am disliking this dlc. I want to like it but some of the things in that thread I posted would make it a good game. But at this stage it's a definite no from me, I could deal with the maps though as @GazzaGarrattsaid there are just too many head glitches but the footsteps need to go. You can tell that they are bad because people are duck walking aiming down the sights everywhere. Will infinity ward change anything 🤣🤣

You've just probably given @McNasty enough to carry on with the game now 😅

Yeah, reaction on Twitter from many people is just weird. Game probably won't be out for another 2 years anyway. Funnily enough I though what I did see of it (thanks @J4MES OX4D for sharing it all) was pretty decent. Very positive signs that we'll get something far better to work with.

Might not be the easiest to read but it's some feedback that's posted on the modern warzone twitter feed.

Though it is hard to claim your listening to your fans when doing the opposite of what most people want.

This one just released this past Thursday, and it's a really fun "shoot to the beat" FPS to the sounds of a kick ass metal/rock soundtrack that progressively gets fuller as your score multiplier increases. It has a doom-ish setting where you played as a recently freed demon that was imprisoned by the devil. Troy Baker, voice of Joel from TLoU as well as many other games, provides narration over game while you fire away. There are some rouge-lite elements, where you unlock weapons via progress throughout the game, but as to the variety of said weapons, I'm not to sure yet as I've only reached the second area of the game. Gameplay is really fast and fluid, especially on PS5 in resolution mode. I'd imagine the same would be said for a top end PC and series X. I'll be getting into it a bit more over the weekend, but this has been one that @Rumelylady and myself have been looking forward to for quite some time.

In any way you can apparently I've got 2 waivers 🤣

Happy to help out dude

Yeah I get what you mean it's definitely the closest thing to specialist. And it has a similar idea, but it's not quite the same to me. My earlier post I didn't mean to shoot down your valid point and it probably came across a bit snarky which I apologise for Greebs. To me tho there is the OG Specialist (which I was very fond of) and then what we have now. Maybe the lighthearted classic meme will describe how I feel about it. "Mum can we get specialist?" No! We have specialist at home. (MW2 rubbish perk system we have currently) 😐

FBI Investigating Alleged Rockstar Hacker - IGN WWW.IGN.COM The alleged hacker that leaked around 90 videos of Grand Theft Auto 6 and also targeted Uber is being investigated by the FBI. Seems they are evening striking captured images now..

So basically in TDM, I can get the second one right at the end of the game even after getting 50 kills😂 Not sure why they have to tweak such a staple of the series just to make it appear they've done something different. Sure it's better than Treyarch giving people 20 perks right off the bat and 60 attachments but I hate all these convoluted and unnecessary game design changes which they cannot justify. That's modern Infinity Ward in a nutshell - do things and in interviews being unable to explain why you've done it and then blame the community. Yesterday I was seemingly earning a depoloyable piece of cover every 60 seconds too!

I mean that's how the perk system works in MW2 too, you choose what perks you get and you know how to get them. The specifics are different; time vs kills, the number of additional perks you get but generally speaking both are methods for players having base perks and additional perks which they get during a match. I do agree with you it's a flawed system though I think it could be balanced to work rather than just scrapping it entirely.

I need to see how you change your players if I get some time.

Not sure what you mean but I believe nothing changes when you die. It was an exclusive ace video I believe that broke it down

I need to check my Week 3 potentials now, i've never been so invested beign 2nd after 2 weeks! 🤣 I know it won't last but it should be a good laugh over the next few weeks. I'll also turn on that RedZone @Antpool84 and see how that is on a Sunday evening...just need to get it on Sky Go so i can play FIFA at the same time! 🤣

It's nothing like specialist, at least with specialist I knew what I was getting and how. More kills and more perks and you could pick the order. With hardline you could get ghost after a kill. After 7 or 8 kills you get all the perks in the game and run about like some super soldier. Awesome imo. In this game the base perks, bonus perk and ultimate perk. How are these earned? It seems I earn them randomly even without kills or just staying alive longer. I personally think this "perk" system is the weakest point of the game. It's not just because I'm traditionally used to the usual system, it's the confusion and inconcientency of whatever this system we are being offered. It's a flawed system imo and deserves to be scrapped!

After playing a couple of hours worth I would say it's reasonably solid. Mostly positive on my behalf. I think it's better than MW19, Cold War and Vanguards beta's because it plays pretty smoothly, the gun play is decent and the maps are desirable. The colour pallette and vibrancy are miles ahead of MW19 in particular. The footsteps audio is better than MW19's, but could still be taken down just a smidge or give us Ninja as a perk. On to the perks which I'm not a fan of, I really don't like what they have done with them. As @Greboth had said previously if the enemy gets an early UAV you can't counter it. I have been having fun with spamming decoys and inflatable decoy field upgrade to try distract the enemy whilst their UAV is up. I don't like the interface and menus pregame and in general. Just feels a bit pointless and confusing, quite like the attachments unlocking and other various small annoyances. I do think this game has the potential to really shine and be enjoyed. I can't find much really wrong with it. It is very MW19 ish, but in a good way. The movement feels better than what MW19 was and like I said I don't find any of the maps offensive. Like @J4MES OX4D said a lot of it's success or failure will rely upon the launch content and post launch content as well.

Yeah, it was an insane result! I couldnt believe how close my Falcons were to pulling off a comeback win over the Rams

There's a dolphin fan at work and he's been bashing on about how good they will be this year. However even he won't have expected that.

I'm pretty sure @crispymorgan was going to dedicate his life to this game when he saw it. For some reason I thought it was a PSVR game? I feel like if you're shooting to the beat I would've thought weapons probably don't matter too much as they'll all pretty much die from shots to the beat? Just an assumption.

I got absolutely owned by @techno this week 🤦‍♂️😂 Might have to make some tweaks to my lineup, but the unpredictable results this week didn't help my cause lol. I've got @Baabcat next week so think i'm going to be 0-3 after that 😂 I expected my Chiefs players to have a better week than they did hopefully they will pick up again next week 🤞 We have to give all the newbs a nit of a chance 😉😂

Here's Week 2's results and overall standings! How mad the week was for me, I decided to not do too much with my squad, just swap a bench player as one of WR was potentially injured and I had a 70% of beating @Findmartin ...only for the games to completely flip and by Sunday night I was only leading by 14pts but Mart had 2 players left to play and 81% chance of winning. Completely lucked out that as one was Questionable and so was rested, and the other which was a RB had a stinker so managed to scrape the win, sorry Martin! 🤣 Can't believe the 3 UK NFL followers have had the start they have! @Antpool84 @jordie1892 @G_dub52 ! I thought most of you had chances, at least at one stage across the weekend to win your games! 😅 Definitely not looking forward to playing Matty @Misneach_ this week, my players need to have a kick up the arse abit!

Happy birthday @TOZ !! Hope you have a great day dude 😎👊💃

😂😂 yeah, NFL bets are so unpredictable lol. I don't know what the hell has got into the dolphins this season, first the Pats and now the Ravens!! The Bills absolutely smashed the Cardinals last night, they have to be one of the top contenders to win it all this season

Where in the hell did the Dolphins come back from?? It certainly made us laugh when @Findmartin told us about his bet on the Ravens 🤣🤣

Haven't read all that big take @techno but i think from a few games yesterday I can safely say its had a good start. Many of the things that seem to be bothering people are in the detail imo and plays very much MW2019 which is definitely a good thing. Arguably it feels better than that too because Footsteps that everyone gets bothered about isn't a problem that I see. New map issues are something that usually stem from not playing the map enough to understand where things are. I've not been spawn trapped once yet, which is a very good thing because most people moan about that first. Only really used M4 so far but felt decent to shoot, connectivity wasn't too bad as I only had one live glitch that took up a quarter of the screen until i died. I'd agree with @Greboth that the perk system feels a little jarring, but i'm willing to see how that goes as its completely new. Anything new will always feel abit weird as most hate change, just depends on if you can select some perks in certain orders, etc as the game goes on but I haven't a clue on how it works so hopefully a little rework wouldn't go a miss. I think the only thing i'm finding so far is that its difficult to see players from far campy, head glitch spots. It hugely helps being in a team hearing the callouts for it so i can see that getting somewhat annoying....makes me think, I can't remember the player name coming up when ADSing on the target far away. Maybe this would help if so? First impressions though is that its not like many Beta clusterfucks we see with other games. Start looking at the CoD glass half-full is my advice for a change.... 😄

I'm done with the beta for now as well. I'll try it again next weekend to see if they add some new maps or modes. Hopefully they fix the bug where you can't unlock attachments for the AK74U.

Statement from Rockstar 30 hours later:-

Played just over an hour earlier (really not sure how people manage to play 50 in these betas) and thought it was an okay game that plays itself very safe. Some of the changes are quite bizarre i.e the unclear unlock system plus the traditional perk format being reduced to two fixed is also weird. It’s nice that the mechanics are less friendly with slide cancelling nerfed and not being able to select 49 perks like in Treyarch games will make it more challenging and users more adventurous with their selections. Crouch walkers seem very hard to spot though if they are right at your feet. I quite liked the farm map but the hotel and market one were a bit average and nothing we haven’t seen before. Some nice detail and aesthetics but nothing exceptional. Killstreaks also didn’t grab me but I’m glad they’ve ditched the stupid POTG and replaced it with the final kill again. I’ll have another go tomorrow but I’m not majorly convinced about buying a game I stopped playing 3 years ago for another two more. It’s decent enough but maybe not £60 decent. Doesn’t quite have the wow factor the original MW2019 initially had because that was a big step up but this one does seem more refined and has less irritations. A lot will depend on the content available at launch - something MW sorely lacked.

It was @JsinOwl as he put me into it, the story was fine I found the gameplay a little lacking but I did see it through. Even the sex scene 😁

There's definitely some connection issues at the moment but hopefully that is just because of the reduced numbers on the beta. I really don't like the new perk system though, you choose 2 base perks which you have then you choose 2 additional perks; if you play well you get the first and then continue to play well you get the second. It doesn't sound too bad from the description except both cold blooded and ghost are in the additional perks. So if the enemy team has a good start to the match it's incredibly hard to pull back as you don't get enough points (or whatever the metric is) to get your additional perks so just die more to kill streaks and UAV spam. Thankfully it doesn't seem to happen too often but I have had a handful of matches that just end up a runaway game for the winning side. Another negative is Marksman rifles are shit! I want to love them because I'd rather be accurate and less shots than spray and pray but they're rubbish. They're one shot kill at close range but anything over, I'd guess 20 metres, is 2 shot and if you're going across map long shots even a head shot isn't a one shot kill. Assault rifles seem to have about the same damage drop off but the much higher fire rate makes them much easier or if you want the longer range, use a sniper then as they don't suffer the drop off. They're really the only big negatives in my opinion. It plays quite a lot like MW2019, which is good, and overall I'm quite enjoying it.

Wings Of Redemption style! 😂 To be honest apart from MW19 and your opinion on the new one, you could rush with success in all the other Cods over the years. I think the camping problem is always more apparent in a brand new Cod. The footsteps loudness are definitely a variable between camping. In Cold War and Vanguard you could rush hard. It's a shame people didn't enjoy them for various different reasons. Being able to rush effectively was not something those 2 games lacked. Treyarch and Sledgehammer are not the 2 most popular developers. Infinity Ward alltho made terrific games, their releases quite often cater to campers. They often use a horrible amount of dull colours in their map designs like greys and brown. In previous titles to my experience.

The thing is I'm not actually a camper. I do move around but you just can't run around as much in this game. I'd love to be able to rush all the time but you can't so I'm just changing my play style.

Thats awesome that it's helping you get into it dude!! I tend tonwatch the redzone on sky sports max as that does live coverage of all the games as they are being played. @Findmartin you have to play all 3 dude 😂😂

Week 1 was delight for us redskin err football team err commanders fans, actually looked like we had an offense. Not a bad start at all !

I can't wait to see how much power the new cards require, never mind their RRP...
