Thought I'd contribute here. An Aussie band I've been into for the last few years, a pretty nice mix of Nu-Metal and Metalcore, for those interested.

I wasn't overly impressed with the beta but I'll still get the game. Kill Confirmed will be in the full game which will make the game instantly much more enjoyable. Plus I only have a couple of days a week when I can play it so I won't get burnt out. I'm also looking forward to the campaign. It will be interesting to see if IW make any changes from the beta. Chances are they'll remain stubborn and refuse to fix the biggest complaints. It was the same with MW2019. It's pretty clear they favour campers (or fucking "sentinels" as they call them 🤣

This one just dropped on PS5 and PC this past Friday. It has a Devil May Cry/Bayonetta kind of gameplay style. I think I may grab it and give it a go.

Not my type of game I'd usually go for but let us know how it feels @Riff Machine 👍

Its so weird how you've had a completely difference experience to a few of us. I just haven't had any lag. And the SBMM hasn't seemed to hurt my scores much either as 4 out of 5 games I'll do pretty well at and get an above 1 KD which is really the only gauge I use in non-objective based modes. Less so in TDM but I think we all agree, we are probably getting hurt from the restrictions of a Beta not being able to select other alternative weapons to combat some of the sweats in those lobbies. OMG, I forgot about this. YES, turn off Motion Blur (I think there is 2 settings to switch off regarding Blur) and it literally changed the game in an instant. I do think its strange having to feel like we have to mess around with settings before we can get into a game properly but at least there was a way to make it feel better immediately. I didn't find it easy on Cold Wart at all but I would still agree that they need to help certain spots be more visible as thats my main constructive point from this beta alongside Perks. We may need to group when you get it - cos lets face it, we know you will 😎- just to see how it plays in a group. I also think as it feels like i've had a proper break from regular group up nights on CoD only until recently on MW2019 that the break has served me well to get back into a CoD game. MW2019 nights mainly end up us lot winning 80/90% of objective based games, which clearly helps feel like its a decent game! This game does have similar vibes for sure.

Thanks for sharing! I hope you don't mind when i share a platform for MOD APKs & Premium Apps. All is free! Go to https://techzapk.com/ and enjoy! 😄

looks amazing! :D

This sums up my experience of the beta. I like to rush around sitting in corners and playing "tactically" bores me to death. I watched a blame truth video where he was playing cold war, my first thought was look how much better the maps and visibility is, all this " realism " might look good but it's awful in cod. Then there's the gunfights, it could be lag etc but they just seem so random, one second youre melting people the next you just insta die and the kill cam doesn't seem to fit what you just saw. I wonder how many people will buy this game simply because it says cod on the box.

I've been playing the demo that's available on PS5 this past week, and wile the combat and gameplay is good, I'm kind of surprised at how unfinished the game looks with it being so close to release. The environments looked and felt unfinished, but hopefully, the finished product looks more complete. If anyone is interested, grab the demo and give it a go. Progress carries over into the complete game.

Reminds me a lot of American Headcharge and an English version of I'll Nino. That Big Homie track has some tasty Egyptian scales and arpeggios with good sweep picking. 👍

Sorry Lee I'm not nit picking or bashing, but the bit about Beta Restrictions and having alternative weapons to counter sweats. We all have the same limited weapons and restrictions. The only way to fight sweat is to sweat, or a decent antiperspirant. 🙂 I mean MP5 SMG and AK74u all the way. M4 for longer engagements. The settings make a huge difference I totally agree. I won't even start a match before getting set up properly. There is definitely more than 2 settings you need to turn off. Off the top, Turn off Motion Blur, Film Grain and also Field of depth. Another absolutely HUGE setting which is really a big deal. Fidelity Cas. It's turned off by default. It improves sharpness and helps especially at medium to longer ranges. You MUST turn it on, crank it all the way up!!! If you don't your just at a disadvantage. Sensitivity is important and also Deadzone input, which affects the sensitivity of your thumbsticks and how soft or hard you push them to get a response. My other personal preferences are tactical layout, and this might come as a surprise to some. I always play with controller vibration on. Have done since World At War. I can't go without it. (believe me I have tried numerous times). I'm used to it and yes it can fudge your aim a bit with added flinch. The reason I use it is I can feel bullets registering into the enemy and I can feel them hit. It helps me know how much to fire and how long it will take to kill an enemy. No controller vibration feels dead to me, I can't feel anything. I sound like a sicko I know. I like to feel my bullets pierce the flesh. 😈

Beta ends today in a few hours so I thought I'd share some final thoughts after about 3 hours on PS5 and 4 on Steam;- I think the beta itself has been very poorly handled especially with no flexibility on feedback, lots of shoddiness and the game itself not being the significant jump we should be getting. Despite the game looking great and handling fairly well, it doesn't have the initial wow factor we saw with MW2019 and I'd say that game probably is more refined despite its catalogue of bad design and concept decisions plus washed out aesthetics. 2 years is a very long time for this game to run especially when COD MP aspects seem to fizzle out before Christmas now so they really will need to improve on what they have so far and go against their grain to keep people happy unless this is part of a deliberate push to get people on Warzone. Footsteps, perk framework and the gunsmith tree will probably be huge sticking points for many and these will persist as they are because they are deliberate and conscious design choices rather than mistakes or bugs. I'm also not convinced about the new modes or big filler events - we all remember the hype and absolute travesty that happened with the Spec Ops mode 3 years ago. The same old issues still remain with connectivity and bullet registration (not an issue in many other FPS titles) and with no real enjoyable honeymoon phase, much of the community will be going into this game negatively with design and technical frustrations right off the bat. I also didn't find the gameplay to be much fun either - it's as exhausting as ever plus with disbanding lobbies as per, the social aspect is completely depleted and this is something that is totally underestimated as part of the huge decline with common multiplayer deathmatch. Players just feel like a pawn in their monetised matchmaking algorithm. I honestly can't see myself buying this on launch or at all. I really want to play the campaign but not for 60 notes. The game may be in a better place in year 2 but by then it's just a bit late in the day with only tryhards remaining in a depleted community. Gonna be a tough choice.

More video spam but I find nero to be quite balanced tho I agree with others and he's spot on again here. This game is not ready to ship and should be delayed though we all know that's never going to happen. I also agree with him that it maybe ok year 2 like blops4 and that might be the time to get into it. There is a semi decent game in there but at this time it's just not. MW2 2022 does actually seem more like a bad battlefield game than cod to me. I did see an attachment that says something like allows you to move faster when crouched and ADS hahahaha wtf but that's how you have to play. I said it before I played the beta back to back with destiny PvP which I have been vocal about and for fun destiny shits all over cod. Disclaimers I know they are kind of different genres but fun is my driver in gaming.

Even the nighttime Miami map in Cold War, you were still able to easily see people across the main stretch and in the alleys whereas on the museum map on MWII in sunshine, it can still be very difficult to see people because of darkened areas, shadows and other textures that just blend. The hotel map is also a nightmare and your best hope so far is that the enemies are wearing grey on the largely brown palette. For all the realism, I'm still bumping into solid locked-down objects such as the tables and chairs on the museum map and it's like the more realistic they've tried to be in instances, the most unrealistic other parts of the game begin to be. I remember when the devs on Vanguard said they wouldn't be adding certain community wishes because they wanted to keep the WW2 identity and a few months later there's laser beam weapons and other crap being thrown in! I don't think they've deliberately tried to make visibility shoddy though - it's probably just a design consideration that was missed whilst they focused on other deliberate changes.

Looks really nice and crisp I must say!

Modern Warfare II Beta PC

I haven't really noticed much connection problems with the Beta. Maybe I've just got lucky. Groundwar sounds like a terrible idea especially in a Beta. More players=more laaaag. The servers clearly can't handle it. It's possible everyone else has terrible connections, and the game is screwing you over royally with extreme lag compensation. That's my guess. Again I've not witnessed much of any lag so far. I've only played 6v6 and on the PS4.

I love Kill Confirmed, been one of my favourites since it appeared in MW3. Domination is my other favourite. Kinda rough playing solo tho sometimes, especially if the other team has a party of 3 or more and they are competent about objective play.

Tony Hawks is a good shout. Was interested in it, but didn't want to buy it. Awesome that it's free, looking forward to it. 😀

I haven't played Crash from the last one yet 😄 Tony Hawk' I will give a go just because nostalgia, Yakuza is a brilliant game so would highly recommend 🙂 Little nightmares I could not get into when I tried previously and with such a backlog already will probably give it a miss ^_^

Tony Hawk's? Nice! Was always interested in having a go on this revamped version to see if I can actually pull off some shapes on a skateboard. Little Nightmares is a very decent side scroller. My boy has both games and I got hooked watching him trying to get through levels. Definitely a worthy addition to the back catalogue.

Holy ****…this game is even worse today connection wise. No bullet registration at all in ground war yet I’m dead before I even know whats happening. I am 90% bordering on not even bothering with CoD anymore at this rate if the full game is going to be like this, I thought GW would be the saviour but it’s even worse than core game modes
