I just completed this quiz.

My Score 41/100 My Time 128 seconds  

Did you win Cold War? Try hard pants? More like those metal bottoms those knights wear in a full suit of armour.
 
Can imagine you asking the sales assistant in a shop. "I love these, any chance you have them in Titanium or Kevlar?"

No worries everyone. I didn't think even I would struggle for time and other things around this Christmas week but here we are! Kind of helps the fact you guys could see who won what before me as it was automatically done by the system.
 
Well done to @Spacedeck , @Plumbers Crack  and @Misneach_  getting the remaining presents from the Big FGFGF Xmas Giveaway. Hopefully, like @phil bottle says above, it gave many of you something to look at, get behind for a bit of fun and joy as that was the only intention because it was only for existing FGers. Sorry if you didn't win, if we can push through into 2021 to make it a better year (and our lives allow us to be generous in an unstable world to donate a few quid every so often) we can try and do some more throughout the year if this helps everybody?
 
Also, if you have more ideas of things to link other giveaways too then you know i'm all ears to give it a bash if we can make it work. GGFG everybody ❤️

Well, Father Christmas turned up a day early for me.....thanks very much to Chief Elf Lee and all the other behind-the-scenes helpers in the FG workshop. PS version please Lee and now I need to find some Try Hard pants in the sales 🤣

That's what I mean, the trial players that got shredded from my experiences were all lumped on my team the majority of the time. And sure like I said some are bound to be good players I'm not doubting that. But all the good ones were for the most part on the enemy team.
Maybe the game thinks I'm better than i actually am. Or I'm not having a good run or that I can accept that. But some of the gun fights just didn't go down well. I might of been down on my luck, but some games I was getting my ass chewed.
 
I will be the first to admit I'm no Demi God at the game, but I was getting torn a new one by guys with basic setups and perks with 2/3 attachment guns.
 
 
I don't want to believe it, but I don't doubt it either. Some guy went 79-12 on Dom Raid with not a gunship or chopper in sight.
 
I play on PS4 Exclusively with cross play disabled.

One thing I did notice on MP, the guys playing on the free weekend were above average. I was getting beamed by rank 20/30 guys, they showed up as "Trial" members.
 
Now I know not everyone has the money or wanted to buy Coldwar, also I do understand some of these people may be very experienced from previous cod's, but some of the situations I witnessed were straight up BS.
 
The free players aim watching killcams and some of the 1v1 gun situations I got into with them were a bit iffy. I would take them down to 1 shot and they would win a lot of the time, not all of the time.
And about 75% of them were as good if not better than me. 
Maybe I'm paranoid or a bit salty, but it felt the game was against me at times skewing gun battles in their favour. Also peppered with SBMM and bad team balancing. If the players sucked they were on my team, if they were on the enemy team they were straight up beasts.
 
Why you ask? To make the game seem better to get them to buy it? There you go! Just another Activision strategy for money imo.
 
Cod Player On Cold War: The game is glitchy, has bugs and aim assist doesn't feel right.
 
Activision: The store works Fine, Thank You for your Purchase and keep playing! (Spend Spend Spend) 😂
 

Well done Tommy! A nice little win before Christmas. 👍

What?!  No way!  Thanks, man!  I've been itching for a racing game!  I'm pumped.  Thanks.  

Lucky win Dan! It is the dankest prize imo. Personalised and looks comfy AF, definitely jealous. If George won the hoodie as well it's definitely a rigged system!
 
I wonder what kind of system Lee has in place for the winners. I would love to think it was a bit of toast strapped to a cat's back butterside up and dropped from a height.

I find pines mall to be deceiving, it looks rather big. But I don't find it a chore to get round the map. It's also great for longshot challenges and superb for the enemy behind cover ones. Mainly because of all the walls. It's not my favourite map, but definitely better and smaller than Azhir Caves and Picadilly.
 
Raid is a classic and looks and plays like the old BO2 which is great.
 
I bought the battlepass, but it didn't cost me a penny. I bought the original battlepass on season 1 MW 12 months ago. Because I played through 6 seasons of MW, I accumulated 2000 cod points as you earn about 1400cp per season. The points were transferred over to cold war. The passes only cost 1000cp. Activision only make more money if your buying more points.
 
Although I don't enjoy strict SBMM everygame, all those YouTubers who scream #BoycottBattlepass etc are just looking for traction and views.
Not everyone is willing to agree or buy it, but in my case it was free. I would be a bigger idiot if I didn't spend my hard earned points.
 
I'm sorry you feel this way in General about the game. It's far from perfect, but they have done more for CW than infinity ward did for MW. Some things are still broken on MW. 

Yeah there is always a lot of fluff to pad out the pass, definitely a few good emblems or calling cards usually some shitty stickers. The blueprints are always dogshit indeed agreed. The free weapons are nice. But I do agree the aim assist is wonky at times, no doubts about that. I won't say I never rage a bit at all, but it's just a game and the rage is short-lived. Not that a bloodthirsty is hard, but I swear the amount of times I've died on a 4 streak to some bullshit. Things like that get me annoyed because I like to finish challenges and gold guns. I'm stuck using whatever for ages and I keep mixing my guns and attachments until I get that perfect build. 
On MW you can gold a gun in 500-700 kills easy. On CW we are talking 1000+ a gun. It's the slow leveling and unlocked challenges you would of done naturally before that time.
Wasn't a fan of 100 mounted AR kills a gun on MW, attracts campy boring play.
On CW you have to actively take on headglitching bastards for the "Science" camo. That's frustrating knowing you have to challenge sweats with M16's/Augs perched on the worst headglitches known to man.
 
Gone are those good old days like MW2/MW3, BO1/BO2 when the game didn't feel as sweaty. Things were fun and you were desperate to hop on and binge for a few hours.
After a bad run of games on CW you feel like a beat dog and have to find motivation to play and hope the next time will be better.
The game is still new and can surely only get better. Miami is ass, Cartel with the bushes wind me up. If Cartel was smaller and less bushy it would be an alright map. 

Yeah I know that if you play a lot you pay for the first one and that's it. But most of the content is just fluff that I don't care about, you at least hgey the weapons free.
 

There is more to it than that. The battle is 1300 COD points. If you get to level 100, you get 1300 COD point. So playing through the pass is essentially free and you get all of the content, skins, blue prints, XP tokens. 
 
I have it, I had the last one. 
 
Paying for the first 20 tiers isn't worth it, but the pass costs 0 if you are going to play a lot
 

I agree if you've got the cod points then fair play. 
I can play this game more than I ever could mw, I realise that it's the maps and moreso the community that make the game frustrating but I can get some enjoyment especially if can upset some sweaty try hard, oh and there is something going on with hit detection and aim assist etc. Also we are locked down it's winter and I need something to pass the time. I treat the game like destiny PvP and just don't care about the outcome. I'm hoping that one day they will make another decent fps game maybe bf6? Who knows.
 
Then there is zombies when things get too annoying.

@IRaMPaGe  yeah this is going to get really sweaty now 😂
This just shows how different that game was compared to normal games for me
 

yeah it was the Christmas one and completely agree with you.  I really seem to struggle to see anybody on this game in general so any darker maps are not my favourite. 
 
yeah got the game and instantly finished up for the night as I knew any further games were just going to be a disappointment 😂.
 
No idea on the SPM, but I will have a look after my next game. I already thought most of the games were a bit sweaty So this is really going to top it off 😁

Thank you Lee @GazzaGarratt
Can't wait for Tuesdays but I have to remember this is a racing game not the type you team up with @Greboththen take him out when he's served his purpose 😂. 

🤣🤣 I'd have probably felt the sweat again if George took another 3! 😅
 
But in all seriousness, if anyone is actually curious to how these work, this is genuinely what could happen as I wanted it to feel like you could all ask for as many as you like - the alternative was put up just one raffle and you have the chance to win 1 prize out of 20 which could mean you get something you probably didn't want in the first place and you'd only have one chance to get stuff. I like the idea you all have a chance every day (although in an ideal world I would've loved it if every person won at least one thing but that's the double-edged sword of a system generated answer!)
 
I thought i'd just grab the answers from the Developer who created the 'Raffles' application system i've installed for this so you get the answer from the horses mouth on how it works:
 

 
Answer from Developer:

 
Programmer Code Below:
foreach( \IPS\Db::i()->select( '*', 'raffles_participants', array( 'rp_raffle_id=?', $raffle->id ), 'rand()', array( 0, count( $raffle->getParticipants() ) ) ) as $row ) { $winners[] = $row['rp_member_id']; $uniqWinners[ $row['rp_member_id'] ] = $row['rp_member_id']; }  
I think in the future we could do some live ones through different means, but if we're lucky enough to do stuff like this continually, then this works perfectly from my POV because I can set it up, it nicely fits in with the User Interface of the whole website and it takes care of itself. I can log in whenever I want to the same page you guys see and check out the winner later.
 
Like always, in the future if anyone ever wants to start getting involved more on these bits specifically, just let me know. It will also always depend on Donations too which is currently made up of what I put in to this place plus current other donations minus the proportion we need to keep the lights on around here and anything else e.g. private servers. The more we have in, the more Raffles/Giveaways and Feel Good Fund presents we can do throughout the year.
 
This application can set up Raffles where we can technically allow purchase of tickets for stuff but that wasn't what I wanted it for in the first place.

Lucky win Dan! It is the dankest prize imo. Personalised and looks comfy AF, definitely jealous. If George won the hoodie as well it's definitely a rigged system!
 
I wonder what kind of system Lee has in place for the winners. I would love to think it was a bit of toast strapped to a cat's back butterside up and dropped from a height.
