    Another one gone That's the top two plus a 1m+ channel gone. I hope Mixer doesn't come across as the Epic Store of stream sites by throwing money around to grow their service but sniping big names and playing into Twitch's controversies will only grow Mixer more.

    I played a few matches of ground war earlier which were horrendous experiences even when doing well. Battlefield may have gone to shit but one thing it always has done right is conquest. 32 players divided into squads with classes and a leaders who can issue commands. Matches are usually tidy, easy to follow and extremely strategic. Maps are also well-designed and appropriately sized. MW’s attempt at this format is an absolute shit show - there is no strategy, player organisation or flow to matches - it’s like they just made maps bigger and hoped for the best. It’s more of an opportunity for players to build easy killstreaks with as little effort as possible than a grand spectacle. Spawn and flank camping is rife and there are so many windows and cheese spots, you can be shot from any direction at any time. On another note, dead silence needs to be a perk or footsteps need to be dialled down IMO.

    I've played quite a few missions so far and it's pretty good - first one looks absolutely remarkable especially with ray tracing enabled. It feels like a traditional Modern Warfare campaign which is great although it's still a bit linear and as Phil said in another thread; somewhat on rails. A few missions are a bit short too whilst others drag. The cutscenes are superb too and I really like the tone. Probably closer to COD 4 and MW2 in terms of feel and there seems to be a good variety of missions to with some tributes paid to the other old games.

    I've actually been matched with console players today but only in 20v20 matches. Wasn't happening yesterday so either the crossplay is borked or they are struggling to fill lobbies efficiently already....
  5. J4MES OX4D
    That map is too big even for 20v20 and that's also taking into account that all players usually end up using only one third of it with spawn areas and flanking routes largely neglected. Terrible map which is only ideal for domination and that's it. Good looking map but once you get spawn trapped on there, it's game over. It's also way too open in Domination and if you cap B, it's almost impossible to lose. For me, the Russian map is dreadful - it's like a long 3 lane map with stacks of windows, stairs and elevated places. You can be shot from every direction and height in that one. Also the bridge map is a total mess - I have never had one spawn flip on that one plus you can pretty much spawn trap an entire team of 20 right off the bat. Spawn killing is a nightmare on there also. It definitely needs more flanking routes too.

    Sick burn for the devs when their old poster boy says this

    Seems they’ve removed the extra setting that was in the beta. I’d take a punt and say that it is working in regards to inputs but console users have found a loophole of sorts as expected. Every PC game I’ve played has been locked to KBM either with fellow PC users or them using it on console.
  8. J4MES OX4D
    Double check your crossplay is restricted to inputs rather than unrestricted and if you’re joining a party leader, make sure they also have their settings set to restricted. I have a feeling those are console players using KBM and they’ve found a backdoor to cheat the input detection most likely.

    Kill confirmed is available but only in private matches apparently!? TDM is a nightmare - it's full of corner campers and crouch walkers! Another thing that I find strange is how after every match, the lobby is broken up and you can go from a completed game into one that's already ongoing - why not simply retain the lobby for the next match?

    Also, map control is way too easy and you can win so easily just by claiming certain power positions and holding them down - very prominent in 20v20+. It's boring as fuck but if you want an easy win, this is the way you can play. It's no fun whatsoever to play against though. In the likes of MW2 and BO for instance, you could play a variety of styles whereas in MW, rushing and being offensive can be punished too easily. COD is not a tactical or hardcore FPS by sheer design yet it plays like one here and that's why a lot of the fun and variety has been sucked out. It's a very conflicted design and the fact they didn't have the bollocks to take the minimap out kinda proves they aren't comfortable pushing this philosophy of the wider population yet they still want to hamstring them whilst bringing back a lot of negatives associated with MW2. If I play a way I don't want to play, I do really well but if I want to have fun and play a more livelier match as the maps are clearly intended by size, I get punished. I love they moved away from 3 lane by-design maps but it feels like they've just created overly-detailed environments rather than strategic maps to be enjoyed and open to a variety of playstyles here. Spawn trapping and killing is back too!

    That was debunked long ago. The only connection issues that affect games now are the 20hz servers and artificial ping values.

    It's been a bit of a mixed bag for me today. I have only played the multiplayer so far and I've noticed more problems than positives. It's the usual story - rain someone with bullets and they seemingly melt you in one. Put that down to the cheap-ass shitty servers. Some of the maps are really piss poor also - not many flow all that well and a lot encourage passive-defensive play. Spawns are terrible on some and I can't believe how many head-glitching and camping spots there are. The menu interface still looks and functions poorly and all the good gear is locked at higher levels so if you play against users who have got a head start, you may be in for a rough ride. The movement feels fluid, the visuals are good and the weapons are decent to use but I wouldn't say this game is all that enjoyable. It brings back a lot of issues from MW2 but doesn't have the fun factor that made that game so great and forgivable. I'll probably play a few more matches over the course of the weekend and then probably go through the campaign and spec ops.

    Stick them in here. I've only played about 8 matches so far and haven't touched the campaign or seen all the maps - I'll probably give my impressions a bit later after I've seen more and sampled some of the campaign. No kill confirmed though by the look of things which is very disappointing.

    Off to a great start in typical Bethesda fashion Fallout 76’s Premium Private Servers Are Not Private, Its Scrap Box Is Deleting Scrap WWW.FORBES.COM Fallout 76's new premium subscription service, Fallout 1st, is not working as intended and actually eating resources... Shameful embarrassment

    Another popular streamer Shroud has left Twitch for Mixer today. That's two big acquisitions for the platform and I wonder who could be next..

    PS4 is only 15 minutes @ 720/30 so players will require a capture card to reach even standard definition. PS4 Pro is largely 1080/30 even if the game is 4K/60 native. It also makes the reporting cheating process a pain in the rectum too.

    Delayed until May 2020 at the earliest. Big blow that. Not sure why they cemented February when less than a month later they add on an extra 3 months which puts it after Cyberpunk which a lot of people will still be playing.

    I think they started it early as so many had got their hands on it already. Try not to get too pissed Dave😎
  21. J4MES OX4D
    Urrgh that's disappointing!
  22. J4MES OX4D
    Really nice they've gone back to the mission briefing-style introduction to rather than pure cutscenes with gibberish spouted by overpaid B-list Hollywood actors. This looks like it's gonna be fucking quality
  23. J4MES OX4D
    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
  24. J4MES OX4D
    Classics from Timothy Baland and Donald Omar😎
