I've been playing through the campaign with a friend and it's still enjoyable. It does look very dated I agree. It should have been updated to at least UE4.

Digital Foundry did a good video on this. It is a lazy effort. It's basically GoW Ultimate with a couple of extra tweaks. It's still running on UE3 🙄 I've grabbed it because it's on Game Pass but there's no way I would have bought it.

If it plays anything like BO3 and AW then I'll be very happy as I really enjoyed both of those games. I always felt there was just something off with BO6. It didn't feel like a Treyarch game. So I'm fully convinced that BO6 was released just as a stop-gap until they could get BO7 out.

Just going from the trailer it looks to me like MP is more refined than BO6. It's like BO7 is the MP game that BO6 should have been 🤔 Obviously that may not be the case when the actual game launches. I saw somebody comment that it's just "AW 1.5" and I'm all for that. For me it all depends on the maps. They better not be all small again.

Well maybe they started getting silly a while ago but the skins in BO6 just took the piss completely.

God no! The skins started getting silly in MW3 but they took them to a whole new level of utter ridiculousness in BO6.

If that's real then COD is fucked. That's a complete Fortnite ripoff 🤣

I watched a video last night from XclusiveAce and he said that it seems like there's some server de-sync. So it feels like you die with one bullet but the enemy actually hit you with 5 bullets. This is one feature I wish they hadn't copied from COD 🤣 Hopefully they'll get it sorted the full game. Personally I really enjoyed the beta. Movement is great and didn't feel sluggish. I didn't like that mountain map with the rock in the middle that has 20 snipers on it every game 😡 I just hope all of the COD players that don't wait for revives just fuck off back to COD when BO7 comes out.

I suspect they've purposely chosen maps for the beta that are infantry focused because they're wanting to attract COD players to the game.

Very helpful video to sort out your controller settings.

So SBMM has been mentioned and all of the COD fans are absolutely losing their shit 🤣 The system that COD currently uses seems to have given COD players serious PTSD whenever SBMM is mentioned. They just assume that it will be the same shitty system that COD uses. In reality SBMM has been in BF for absolutely ages and it's only used to balance the teams.

I think it looks superb to be honest. I'll actually be buying it and I haven't bought a game at launch for a long time (I either get games on Game Pass, rent them or wait for a sale).

I'm hoping this is basically BF4 2.0. That is IMO the best BF to date. They're doing a big MP reveal event on July 31st and leaks suggest the beta will launch straight afterwards or the following weekend. The also accidentally gave away the release date which is October 10th.

Another video game crash can't come soon enough IMO. These big publishers seem to think that gamers have an unlimited amount of money so they promise shareholders that profits will climb every year. Which obviously isn't possible as there are only a limited amount of players and money. This means that when profits don't go up they sack staff to save money. It's not even unbelievable that MS can sack staff and then Phil Spencer bangs on about how great they're doing as it's just the norm now. It's very believable that they did it.

Releasing for consoles in August.
