I'm preloaded and ready to go but I wont be playing until tomorrow. I'm not going to look at any leaks or the campaign; I'm gonna let it be a surprise. Yep but the game wont be playable until it goes live apparently

Physical disc version apparently requires a 30 and 57gb update - I also don't believe the game can be accessed until release but the download can be installed to at least complete the architecture. I finished the preloading on Battlenet and it was about 107gb compressed. Hopefully there wont be any nasty day one updates. For those wondering why digital is more expensive; I believe it's down to the amount of tax applied to digital media.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Digital Game Launch Times | Charlie INTEL CHARLIEINTEL.COM As we get closer to the launch of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, many have been asking about when the game will go live for those who have...

1. Probably £10-12 every two months. It'll replace the season pass lost revenue I expect and probably work about about £50/$60 worth of passes for the whole year. 2. I'm expecting shite cosmetics from calling cards, emotes, common camos and even blank tiers. Premium tiers will likely be full on each level and offer far more attractive 'rare' and 'legendary' stuff. 3. Hard to gauge the earn rate because they don't want to slow it down too much so people are put-off from going premium, but then they wont want to make it so rapid, people may neglect on buying the inevitable boosters. If BO4 is anything to go by, they with rig and tweak on the fly rather than having an consistent and fair system to start with. 4. Probably £1 to £500 - you can't put a price on Activision's greed. They'll also be selling COD points and boosters no doubt. If they can sell a boxing glove melee weapon for the same price as a game then there is no asking what people will be willing to buy and for how much. I don't think it'll end up as tacky as Treyarch's microtransactions but it'll be just as prominent.

Crossplay is purely input-based so when you opt in, you and whoever is in your party will only face like-for-like inputs. If you're using a pad either on PS4 or Xbox, you will only face those players OR a PC player who is using a controller. If pad players don't mind facing KBM users, they can further opt in to unrestricted crossplay meaning they face anyone with any control scheme. Console KBM players have to play against PC users or fellow players with this scheme on console. Crossplay has to be enabled for cross-platform play too. If someone doesn't have this enabled, they will not be able to join a party on another platform. I don't think you can sneak any crossplay changes whilst in a lobby or party as that can only be done in the menu so loopholes like this are covered. Console pad users who may want to play with a PC user with a KBM may have to have unrestricted crossplay enabled to do this. A KBM user on PC can join a (pad) console party host but they will only be matched with unrestricted crossplay users. I'm probably gonna get it on PC which means I can use KBM against PC users and also join console users when I plug my controller in instead. When I do this, I will have restricted crossplay on meaning I will only be able to join Xbox Live, PSN and PC users who also have a bad.

I read that one of the protesters arrested a couple of weeks ago comes from a 4 car family, travels by plane several times a year and goes to work by train and then tube 5 days a week. It’s this kind of hypocrisy which is why I can’t take a lot of these people seriously even though I personally take climate issues incredibly so. Even many kids say they couldn’t give a fuck and are just enjoying the occasional days off school because of it. The serious activists in this domain who are more grounded and sensible about their direction and approach have effectively been overran and silenced. Once the cold weather sets in and it starts raining daily, many of these protesters will probably stay inside and find something else to get angry about on Reddit for the winter. I just hope the level-headed people can get their voices heard again and proper progress and communication will happen. The guy running ER sounds like a right doomsday paranoid nutjob and most ignore his hard facts come from Wikipedia and made up shit. Let someone else with credentials and intelligence run the show.

Activision did this with Black Ops 4 and their operations - they made it so hard to rank up to get the ‘good’ gear, people would either have to pay up in the end, or play for several hours a day every day for nearly two months. This was even after the nerf. People we so desperate, they were happy to buy hundreds of blank tiers at an average of £1 just to get some shitty cosmetic. Activision will stifle and milk the hell out of this.

Activision have confirmed there will be no loot boxes however there will be a Battle Pass for each season. The pass is divided into two - free and premium streams and both have their own cosmetic rewards. Weapons and unlocks are earned by playing the game leveling the usual way. The questions are now how much is each pass and how long is a season. This should be positive news but there's always a catch after everyone has bought the game and the reviews are in...

IGN video review just went up
-
This game came out of nowhere from a first time developer - currently 92 on Metacritic and even got 9.6 on IGN. I don't think I'm gonna find the time to play this anytime soon but it's definitely something unique to pop on the wishlist:-

Red Dead Redemption 2 PC Version

A lot of PS4 games I bought off eBay for £35 new and then traded in a week later for a profit. I've even got new(ish) games for £20-30 when they are still £50 digitally. I remember when companies justified season passes and microtransactions because of second hand sales so theoretically by this logic, if things do go digital, publishers would remove all such things...No chance of that happening! Yep! Digital tax is high so games will be around the £50-60 mark I expect even without production and shipping. It will kill off many retail stores selling as people would likely just buy from source especially if there are pre-order exclusives for the likes of PSN and Xbox Live. Nobody really goes out and buys digital keys from the likes of GAME for instance. Instead of companies buying games in bulk, they'll likely just sell them on behalf of the publisher and receive a small 5% cut rather than buy 5,000 copies of a game for most stores at a bulk rate from pre-orders. I couldn't see GAME buying 10,000 keys at £45 a pop for instance.

I gave it a brief go which is weird because I don't really like Fornite, but Chapter 2 seems to continue strongly from the original and the new map no doubt will be a breath of fresh air along with the other subtle and quirky changes. I still can't get my head around the building controls and how people can do everything so quickly!

Whilst I understand their cause, they are really beginning to test people's patience. I see the celebrity hypocrites who have spent most of their lives on private planes and being chauffeured around are now hiding behind an open letter instead of justifying their own individual hypocrisy and motivations. The protesters really aren't endearing themselves to the wider public and are wasting police time, resources and tax payers money. A lot of them including the guy dressed as a broccoli don't even seem serious about it and are just up for causing any chaos they can and getting attention not for their cause but for five minutes of fame. Next up someone will probably get badly hurt and then what..

I'm not a huge fan of digital gaming despite 'owning' well over 500 of them. PC gaming has largely become digital only and with Microsoft releasing the Xbox One SAD edition, it may be a taster of things to come. I'm still hoping Sony will remain traditional but if it's not viable to have physical titles then they will move on. They'll probably want the drive space in the unit to either shrink the system or add more room for cooling and noise reduction elements. Next up the industry will probably go exclusively streaming. If this happens then i'll probably give up with new games altogether. I still miss the days of popping into my local GAME store and having a good chat and browse of a wall of quality games. Midnight launches too. New game releases have lost their spark and only a small amount get me hyped these days. Google Stadia can fuck right off.
