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...

Scump will be retiring from professional Cod gaming after 1 more year or season.

Oh blimey! I knew I went on a tear but I didn't think it was that much. Got off to a nightmare start too! I've had shit lobbies ever since though so maybe it wasn't such a good idea..

@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.

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

Very impressive J4MES, it's a 30 Killstreak in this game. 😎

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.

This game is so bad to the point I just don't care how I do. Sbmm even at this level is terrible all the games go to time limit. The fact I have to grind a shit gun I hate to unlock another better grind that to finally get what I'm after is stupid beyond belief. The maps apart from the market map and maybe farm 18 are trash, just a complicated maze basically to get people used to wankzone. The gunfights may as well be rock paper scissors for how random they are. If it wasn't for playing in the same chat party I'd have refunded it. Obviously there's all the dumb design decisions which will never change. One question if you've managed to earn 2 streaks how do you choose between which to use? Hopefully when I finally unlock what I actually want to use and they add some decent content and stuff that should have been here already maybe there will be something worth my time. Still and always will hate footsteps.

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.

No fucking around this season by Max, he absolutely romped it and well deserved the title. Everyone else just seemed to have dropped the ball, whether that being Ferrari‘s unreliable engines (again) or Mercedes initial concept. Hopefully this is the last season we’ll hear of porpoising.

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 🙂

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 🤣

I'm enjoying it. A few points: Haven't customized any guns yet, couldn't figure out how to do it and ran out of arsed, will figure it out later. The whole feel of the game is good, however I find the TTK a bit long. Where the fuck is hardcore? Who launches half a game? One of the announcers sounds like she wants to slit her wrists, it's fucking irritating. The UI is a buggy disaster, when muting people it can take something like 5 seconds for the game to register that I've pressed a button. General handling of stuff is far too slow, from reloading a launcher to popping out a trophy system, it all takes far too long. The fact I can both slide and bunny hop is great, so I can pop around corners and pop a cap in the baddies ass like a boss. Or at least that's what I see alot, but I just die. Repeatedly. The perk system is wank, just give me my fucking perks for fucks sakes. Unmistakably a Treyarch game, the maps have a very BO2 feel to them, which I like. The graphics options are irritating, far too much faff. That all being said, I am thoroughly enjoying it apart from one little niggle. The absolute braindead retards who play it. The amount of times I've lost a game of Dom only to see that half our team has zero caps is riridulous. It's never this bad on hardcore however, as there aren't as many little bitches who play it, but there is no hardcore so meh.

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.

I think it considering how many of us play. It really makes it easier to play when we have now 3-5 games where we can dip into so this doesn't feel like you can burnt out. I'm pleasantly surprised on how many people do like it as opposed to hate it - that hasn't happened here for years. Its not perfect by any stretch but they'll only add to it. Btw, I can't deny Border Crossing map is awful just a random thought - maybe it was just trying to give an idea a go? We always hammer them cos they never try anything new or different and now they have we hammer them cos its bad? We should rightly give them poor feedback but I hope in return they can communicate with some tweaks to it perhaps.

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.

It's almost like they didn't finish designing it🤣 Shockingly bad map and the spawns are completely broken on that too. I swear the museum map is missing from the full release as I haven't played on it once yet. Even the hotel one I've only done once.

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.

I also shoot down UAV when I can actually see them. This game is getting roasted on twitter and YouTube. Did change my settings after watching xclusive ace and it does make a big difference, but I've adapted, got to adapt so I camp behind the portable shield I carry around in my pocket. I tried ground war 🤣 one game and out. 1 kill and barely saw a soul. Spawn system 🤣

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.

Well, I honestly didn't expect to enjoy the game as much as I did but hey ho. Pros: Gameplay is fast, fluid and fun (apart from the usual CoD rage of course). Maps seem pretty varied and I enjoyed most of them, even the border crossing map that everyone hates. I just seem to have great games every time I play it. Hate the hydroplant map though, fuck the hydroplant map 😤 Gun selection is pretty sexy. I have my favourite now which is the one that looks like a SCAR (second AR unlocked) pure shreds without any attachments so can only imagine it levelled up. The UI..........I like 😂 bit overwhelming at first but once you explore it a bit, starts to make sense. Cons: Party system. I'm hoping it can be fixed with patches but you should never have to press 3 buttons to find out who's in your party. Then when you do, you can only see 3 names and then +1/2/3. Like, what? Crashes. If you're in a party with aforementioned +1/2/3 you're almost guaranteed a game crash. This may be hardware limitations connected to being on last gen so unfortunately that's just the way this particular cookie has crumbled. Having to level up a certain gun to unlock attachments for a different gun. Just a small one but chosen operator not working it seems unless you bought the vault edition. I haven't unlocked Fender, I don't use Fender, I don't plan on using Fender when I unlock Fender. Why does it say everyone and their mothers use Fender? (Your mum uses Fender btw) I can't think of much more just now but again, I had such a fun night playing when I was able to. I'll definitely be back for more every chance I get, issues and all. Was also absolutely amazing that it brought me back to friends that I haven't played with in near a decade. Absolute madness. I rate it 9/10. Worst game ever ❤️

😂😂 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!!!

Oh and another thing that really needs changing is the post-match unlock screen. It’s some sick irony that the one bloody thing you actually want as a Windows 8-type panel layout is the only thing that isn’t. Making it look like a battle pass is so tacky - some corpo brainlet has designed it this way as some sort of trendy enticement but actually it acts as a horrible deterrent for people who just want basic information. Gimme a wall of my unlocks, even multiple pages will do - just so I can clearly see. It’s bad enough that your unlocks i.e perks, attachments don’t have a ‘new’ notification which disappears once you’ve at least highlighted or selected the new item. Tracking each thing manually by memory or one-by-one is just inconvenient and frustrating. it all ties in with the interface as I’ve already mentioned but it just goes to show how so many glaring UI and UX features are missing. This feedback was huge in the beta and it should’ve been a simple user-friendly inclusion as we’ve had in every COD.

Your falcons are making some good progress with the rebuild, the fact you could go top of your division tomorrow is a bit crazy. Think your division is tied with the afc south for the worst in the league. For me I’m just hoping the bills destroy packers

I'm at level 26 or so. So I quite like it As far as No challenges that could be better for XP but you have daily challenges and co-op challenges every day no camo stat tracking. Don't care. I never even put the camos on a gun no leaderboards. Huge problem for me since I spend so much time on that leader board , no after action report. Did I win. All I need to know , no combat record with my stats, that a blessing , no XP token time tracking I could use that, no hardcore mode, don't play it so don't care I used the M4 and it rocks I used the Lachman 762 in auto shreds if you can control it I used the Lachman 556 is good in the 2-3 games I got to try it I am having fun with DOM and TDM. I am getting decent streaks. Some games I get destroyed. Some games I destroy so that is OK with me. I don't hate the border map as much as others but I we are able to chose maps it wouldn't be my choice I am using the tracking class and that's been awesome for me.

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!

I really did not expect to play the game as long as I have on the first day. Nice to see like @techno says, many of us in the same party but in different groups, solo or up to 4 players. That seemed to be the limit before the game screwed the party for some of us. It also got many different people together again and that was pretty cool too. @datfroggieguy @Capn_Underpants @TheMuggySpud @Misneach_ @Greboth @Luseth @LordBaguette @Bluebear to name a few. I also think I'm agreeing with you @J4MES OX4D 😄 Mainly because the game itself plays really well. Its super solid and the early guns we all try seem well balanced. I only saw one guy using the X12 handgun that was wrecking us which I didn't feel too bad about. The only annoyance is the lack of usual functions and gamemodes that you would expect to be in the game from launch. That is masking the external news on places like Twitter and rightly so - I just hope people don't pass on this one as there are many plus points already to it. We had a laugh last night as it seems the UI divides us all. I really like it, as does @Luseth , but its clear what @Greboth felt about it! 🤣 As did others. The reason why I think its less cluttered is that there hasn't been a CoD game that has been inviting me to understand the Challenges and Objectives I can focus on. They're always really hidden deep in the game. This time round, its a little easier in a logical place in the Gunsmith when you customise them. I think they could make it even easier but this is CoD so little gains are huge imo 😅 I think the Perk system is still weird. I'm not hugely caring for it or equally not that bothered but I know something doesn't feel right about it. I'm not starting to think that they are trying to get players away from those types of things to rely on all the time and just go back to basics of trying to beat the team with just yourself and the gun. I think this shows why I think they are making us not worry about it. And if i'm honest, I love it. Every CoD always brought out the rage in people sitting in the most campiest corner for 15 mins trying to pick people off. Playing slower is the way sometimes otherwise you can get rinsed easily, but to the point where I need these perks. So many people last night in the party were also getting decent scores to the objective and KD so you don't need these perks for the game to survive. I hope they add the missing stuff like Hardcore, Crossplay options and in-game stats within the next month - but i'd argue right now it isn't hurting us actually play the game. If I had to have the choice what to have first, I'd vote for more maps to be released over this lot. Crossplay with SBMM shows it doesn't hurt the game, we won 80% of the games still. Games are goign this way and it allows us to play with everyone so I'd start to embrace it now. Last thought would be that TTK is that quick that you don't miss Hardcore....just yet.

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.
