I unashamedly enjoy it, probably because I havent bought a COD since 2019. That said, the below map is terrible the this clip is hilarious https://twitter.com/ProRebornYT/status/1587509908102316033?s=20&t=ihAfJct4j2o8nfuPg6HJ-g

This giving money grabbing organisations excuses to deliver second rate products and services is why we get second rate products and services and tbh I'm downright pissed off with it. Oh it all works out in the end blah blah blah. Well here's an idea how about you wait till it works as intended for my cash. Anyway time to buy a car with no wheels but the engine will run smooth. Wheels come with season 1.

No I actually think the right direction would have been going back in time but that's me. Maybe year 2 😁

I'm really surprised at the amount of attachments that have severe negative aspects to them - so many seem to have 1 or two positive and 4 negative and just two attachments with the same negative can severely impact your gun. Even if you unlock all the attachments and customise your gun entirely, 99% of the time you are simply negating the benefits so much so, it's the same has having one attachment when actually having 5. I ran two attachments that reduced by ADS time on an AR yesterday and it literally made the gun unusable. Actually better off not running any at all aside from a sight it seems.

I think whilst we get annoyed about the lack of functionality not in the launch game, I geniunely think its a way they are using to get the game stable before adding more stuff to it. Its how most systems and technology is going these days because people care overall about the actual day to day working (gameplay) first and foremost. Its why I think we'll get at 2-3 new maps before Christmas added. Fwiw, I think there's only 2 poor maps and the Border Map was at least an attempt to try something completely different. You can get decent games if you can adapt to the way it flows like @TigerBurge says.

Agreed, Cavill has been great as Geralt. Such as shame as it’s such a good series of games (books can get a little stagnant) with some great characters to explore and they have nearly tanked it already.

I get that but a large part of the game is there and the world has been changing to this way of working for some years now. Do I agree with it? Not always, as I loved the days of sticking a cartridge in and having the whole game straight away! On balance though, games now have online and more functions than those days so I just think we have to get with it personally. I think CoD is more that it is a car with an engine AND wheels. Just the standard ones you buy with it and carpets inside and no sport mode 😄 You have to at least acknowledge this CoD is definitely doing something different in the right direction though. The amount of divide for this feels 50/50 whereas ones before this have been overwhelmingly negative for years.

Just catching up and it looks like they've had an update - "After discovering the footage used in the mysterious video has been taken from an Unreal Engine 5 assets pack, it now appears that the video is a hoax." Shame as I'd like to think some MGS games are worthy of returning too...having said that and the amount of remakes, it would be cool to take the best bits and create a new MGS please.

I was wondering why I had so many tags by Christy, I thought he just really missed me, turns out he just missed my telly. Love ya too princess 😍

I've sorted the multiple posts🙂 Been a bit tom & dick the last week or so, so not been on a great deal, but what I've played, I've enjoyed.

There are still plenty of movement mechanics to use. The slide cancel was removed and quite often abused since MW19. However you can still from my experience. Slide, jump slide, dolphin dive, jump shot, dropshot. I know what you mean tho Chris, the movement is much more traditional and old school which is fine by me.

First impressions hmmmm For the fist time in a very long time I feel they have went back to their roots with the movement. It really feels like a mix between MW3 and Ghosts more than MW and MW2. Completely different that MW 2019 in a good way. All the guns I’ve used feel really good in their own way except battle rifles. That is a waisted gun category. I’ve used every type of gun so far trying to in lock all ARs. The maps are just ok. There are a few that I really like but hate that there are too many angles to cover. They are mostly very three lane but you can access all three lanes from multiple points. Tons of flanking routes. Plus tons of doors and windows for people to hide. With the exception of probably three maps I like them. The border map can fuck off,however I had a great game with the marksman rifle on it. All the maps allow for multiple play styles. People need to learn how to adapt. Guns really do feel well balanced. The funny thing is all you see is the M4 and it’s probably the third or fourth best AR. The AK and SCAR are monsters. The Lechman(G3) is also a beast. It all depends of how you use it. MP7 and MP5, I’m not calling them by their made up names, are so good too. You can out play most ARs with them if you’re aim is on. The perk system is complete trash and needs to be fixed. If it’s not broke don’t fix it. All CoD games should have a pick 10 like Blops 2. It’s the gold standard for perk systems and hasn’t been used like that since then. They have tweeted it but none have worked as week as it. Ghost should be unlocked earlier and not in the new ultimate slot or whatever the hell it’s called. There have been games where I have shot down no less that ten UAVs or counter UAVs. Playing solo that sucks. I’m not too fond of the way you have to unlock attachments. It’s not a bad idea but I don’t like having to use a shotgun to get a sight for a AR. Sort of stupid if you ask me. The UI is complete fucking garbage and whoever designed it should be publicly ridiculed for it. Like they should have to play with @Diddums and his tv all the way up for hours type of punishment. All in all it’s a pretty good game. If they can work out some of the issues it could be the best we’ve had in a very long time.

Interesting...... This mysteriously deleted video suggests the Metal Gear Solid 3 remake may be announced at The Game Awards WWW.EUROGAMER.NET It looks like the long-rumoured Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater remake may be announced at...

I thought Matty @Misneach_ would be screaming more about this tbh!

@TigerBurge likes it so much seems he posted 3 times 😁 I keep banging on about maps but if there were more and better the game would be instantly so much better there are way too many angles also why is there always way too many head glitch spots near objectives? Also some old school YouTubers really hate it not just new streamers 😁 I've heard some epic rants, blame truth the other day made a good point why do some guns/attachments not show you how to unlock them? He got told to plug a mouse in and hover over it which enraged him further when it said unlocked at level 1 🤣

Having played the previous few Cods it definitely is a bit fidgety. It's more of a press and hold, but you have to be careful not to choose the killstreak you don't want. There is definitely a knack to it, quite awkward to be honest. The hold is definitely the most important bit, like Luseth says you can just navigate the streaks and pick one and let go of the hold to select it.

Yeah it is that now having looked into it , not sure why it didn't work when I tried it, will have to try again cheers.

I remember seeing it, you hold something down and it brings up a wheel on screen and you can flit between the streaks you have. I think there was possibly something else on the wheel as well but I was mid game so didn't really get a good look at it.

That doesn't seem to be it, I'll try Google 😁

I think it's just to encourage you to use different guns, I wasn't keen at first but it means that at least in these early day's you aren't just getting killed by the same 1 or 2 guns (imagine that won't remain the case mind). It also means I have discovered 1 or 2 guns I actually quite like that I imagine I might not have tried out otherwise. From memory it's just holding right on the d pad or something like that I think

I'm getting increasingly irritated at the unlock system plus there is way too much attachment bloat. It's silly that I have to level up a gun in one category to unlock an attachment in something completely different. Also the interface is making what is already an extremely convoluted system even more confusing. They've streamlined the camo which is great but they they go and do this!? It doesn't make sense. Also the camo unlock interface is bloody horrendous - hard to see what's unlocked and locked plus you have to scroll for an hour just to go to the final page. Some design decisions have to be attributed to developers smoking some weird substances when making this game.

Well apart from the breach of the cost cap. It’s a shame, Max is fast and well deserved this year but again, through no fault of his own, his championship this year has another asterisk against it. We’ll never know how much was spent on this years car so there’ll always be some doubt. Ignoring that though Max would have probably won it anyway thanks to Ferrari’s mid season “strategy” and somehow being absoutely nowhere as we approach the end of the season. Merc look like they’ve found some pace now though and apparently know what’s wrong with their car. So maybe we can actually have a 3 way fight next year.

Absolutely loving the second rifle thingy. Bolt action, iron sights, one hit from the chest up. Getting a good shredding session on with it is more satisfying than a blowie from Margot Robbie. I may not have sufficient evidence to support this claim but you get the idea.

Add me!

Thanks for updating the table, it's good to see where we all stand 🙂 I'm happy to miss next week as the TV I'll be bringing is the one off my rig. So it means I could take off the frame while I'm off on Thursday rather than needing to rush Friday morning. It's things like this that make me think you race like I do by being more competitive when you're not thinking about driving. As the more you practise the more you seem to think about it and cock it up. Whatever though, it's great to see you topping the table and fighting for podiums most weeks 🙂

I will have a look incase I've missed anything, but a lot of it is preference. Some there are advantages to have. Like I say I will see what is being offered. Most people know what they like or how it feels.

Some good controller setting changes in this video you might want to consider:

Yeah that's exactly what I mean. A lot more colourful than MW2019. Also, the concussion mine or whatever it's called is my new favourite thing. Sticks to ceilings and most people don't know about it so they just stand there spazzing out whilst capping a flag, it's hilarious. Only problem is the beeping, makes me want to get up and go to work when I hear it.

Bitches gonna bitch.. Not sure why you think these are like treyarch maps, colour palette maybe🤷 You might be the only person who thinks the ttk is too slow however I've always hated Hardcore in IW games but your right it should be there for those in the community that like it. Once you get into customisation it's not that hard. Now I see what @Grebothwas saying about the filtered playlist 🤣

Hardcore will be known as Tier 1 and coming in November based on something I read. They seem to be running similarly to COD mobile which I really like. You get a bunch of core modes. Then a bunch of featured mode. HC would be in the featured stuff. I played a lot of mobile in the last 2-3 years and like it much better than COD on the consol. Give it a chance. If they were to do the frontline mode that's on Mobile it would be awesome. The gun customization was relatively easy to find on XBOX.

Well yeah, for some the fact these things are missing impacts the gameplay, getting fake bans doesn't help folks find out how the game is playing tbh it's cod it's not exactly high intelligent stuff here pick a gun shoot shit. However the crashes are obviously an issue. Now actually how the game is playing for those that can the biggest issues are still the same as the beta, perk system, progression etc oh and the maps are getting shit and rightly so and why so few? Apart from the glaring ommisions and maps everyone knew most of this crap during the beta. Footsteps to me will always be annoying, mostly because I hate hearing my own. Also this is the first cod I feel I have to wear my headset.

This perked up my ears.

Good! The Musuem map was the worst in the beta. Altho it looked pretty, the awful sun glare was annoying and large parts of the map not being utilised made it absolutely poo.

Been reading the thread and it looks positive so overall do you all think its worth investing in.

Really?? I swear this is way quieter than MW2019 which we've been playing for a while now. You only hear them loudly right at the last moments so it feels kind of balanced to me 🤷‍♂️ What are they roasting it about? I've seen some negative stuff but its all about missing content, not actually how the game is playing.

There is also a map in the game that's worse than the Border Crossing map and that is Taraq - as unbelievable as that may sound. It's like they let a kid on work experience design the map and they just threw a load of random buildings down on a square shaped map.

I know that class is there but I don't want to be using the same class until level 51. I've just taken to shooting down UAV's now anyway. Although the footstep audio still annoys me.

😂😂 i know right!!! Cant believe the Bucs are 3-5!!! Hoping we beat Carolina tomorrow and get some momentum. I agree with you that our division is definitely one of the weakest this season. I would love to see the Bills smash the Packers!! Any time the Packers lose is good lol. Cant believe the Eagles are 6-0!!!

Use the default stealth class which has Ghost and I think cold blooded. For get what it is called but it is there.

The same guy 3 times in 7 seconds. Oh @J4MES OX4D you have a way with words that just speaks to me! 🤤. Don't get me wrong, being spawn killed is horrible. But when your the one doing it, it's a different story. 🙂

Another thing I forgot to mention is the spawns - on some maps they are utterly horrendous. On the race track map which is actually quite big, I've sometimes spawned literally in front of enemies who are already shooting someone else. I also managed to kill the same guy 3 times in 7 seconds on another map!

Yet Activision are happy to host convicted cheaters in their tournaments and events because they have a big viewership base or tits🤣

My first game last night it matched me with PC players using M&K. So I just quit and went "off you fuck, crossplay." I'm already at a disadvantage because I'm old. I don't want to be disadvantaged because I'm using a controller.

I think that's just PC. Basically if you have certain software running in the background then the game thinks you're trying to hack so bans you.
