Out of nowhere and out next week subject to availability

Well it didn't take long for some to find a glaring issue with the progression system and tbh he's right. Having played yesterday I already prefer this over mw2 simply due to the maps. Also sbmm 🤣🤣 they really need to tone that shit down. However

As ever with CoD the hit detection is meh. Dying to what feels, and weirdly occasionally sounds like, a sniper shot but seeing the kill cam and it shows you getting hot 4 or 5 times. Yet other games, going on a spree knowing the enemy team are probably at the end of the horrible deaths. That said overall, I enjoyed what I played last night and great to be playing the old maps again. The new unlock system is weird in that it doesn’t really tell you what to do or how to do it - in that it says complete 3 daily challenges to unlock. Which I unlocked but as far as I can tell I didn’t complete any daily challenges so I dunno. But I like the system in general, being able to unlock the perks, greades, kill streaks etc. you want rather than just grinding levels unlocking loads of stuff you’re not going to use to get to the stuff you want.

I played for a few hours yesterday. Tried Core to start with but the TTK just pissed me off. So I jumped into Hardcore and enjoyed the game a lot more. One thing I don't like is that the colours in the game are very dull. All brown and grey. I wish it was a bit more vibrant.

Sounds like a blinding night A load of people were blinded by the light at ApeFest in Hong Kong METRO.CO.UK Festival goers who went to Yuga Labs' ApeFest in Hong Kong this weekend say they almost lost their eyesight due to...

Occasionally they got PvP right and then they fucked it up by moving away from it. There was a couple of seasons of iron banner where the gear was locked behind gain coins from playing and bounties, and it made it a bit of a challenge to grind out for the 'best' efffectively curated gear. They then moved to engrams so you could drown in loads of shit roles! Also Trials had a heyday for the more casual PvP player - when it was based in the Reef, and again bounty completion could get you gear, it was worth taking the losses to an extent. In fact now its back down in the Hanger it still has some of that but I think the RNG of engrams is always a bit of a joy killer. I always sort of thought PvP always sort of lacked a purpose in the lore - it was a training ground apparently, except no matter how crap you were you could drop good gear via RNG and could do any of the PvE stuff. As a training ground it had zero purpose. We all grind the fuck out of CoD for zero purpose, but somehow grinding PvP for zero purpose never appealed too much to me. Best times in normal PvP were probably the exotic bounties that forced you to do PvP in D1 - gave it a purpose (an hunter who got thorn at last will remember the feeling of relief after completing the void kills at a time when the only void option for hunters was a Heavy or one raid weapon! D1 and D2 were fantastic at times but as has been said before the cookie cutter Seasonal content just became meh ! Too grindy even for me, and thats what eventually made me drop away, and honestly cant even face thinking about going back! But when it was good it was great - the FG Raid teams in particular. So many great memories, and laughs. The hours of banging heads against brick walls for that one final run when everyone at last got it right. One of the great things was they way you didnt actually have to be great at the game to finish the raids, learning a role and having a supportive team meant you'd get the completion eventually, not everyone had to be a superstar, was incredibly accessible. Good times gang!

PvP worked in Destiny at the start very well as it was never really badged the uber competitive MP PvP game, more so an addition to the game that was phenomenally well backed by loads of players. Problem is over time gamers expectations change, especially when it lands as well as it did, people expect more and more and had to be better stuff. I just don't think Bungie ever said PvP was going to be the thing to do in Destiny, player power made them look at it in a different light, wanting more stuff and then a way to get competitive in it. If PvP wasn't taken as seriously, just like in D1, then I think its not in that bad of a state. Its ludicrous for a reason and its why I think we all loved it so much. At least now after 10 years you have a mode where its now pretty much about the guns and not supers, which is what everyone wanted...but no one is probably giving it a go because its a little too late for some.

Lurch you remind me of myself when I started my crypto adventure. I used to work nights so I had a little PC at work which I'd set up every time a new coin launched and get on the mining pool the moment it went live. The dreams were wealth, happiness and a hobby I could genuinely enjoy. I soon realised it was a load of absolute bollocks owned by people in private Discord servers manipulating markets so they make some wedge at the cost of the outsiders like myself. I must've spent a good 6 months chasing this dream and had wallets full of every coin under the sun and none of the were worth anything. It was the peak of the crypto rush, and I was balls deep in it. If only I had today's wisdom then. As for NFTs, I've been following the scene quite closely as it still interests me, and I can genuinely say that they offer absolutely fuck all in terms of functionality. Like, nothing. Zip. Nada. It's a fake economy built for people to manipulate for their own good will at the cost of everyone else, just like crypto. Hope you didn't spend too much on it, keep what you have as a memento of the interesting times you had and the lessons you learned, and forget about it. I never bought one as I could never see the point of owning a little bit of code on a make-up blockchain which means fuck all to me and even less to anyone else.

And the other 5% is absolute trash like Logan Paul laundering money via NFT's with his junkie buddies in that LA cesspool which is the only reason they have real money 'value'.

95% of NFTs are Worthless: Report | PetaPixel PETAPIXEL.COM Crypto crashed and brought NFTs with it. lolz 🤣

They are a scam. It's as simple as that. You're buying something that you don't really own. I've had lots of joy reading about people paying silly money for an NFT only to lose a load of money trying to sell it on.
