Anyone been back to WWII lately? Ever since Michael Condrey and Glen Schofield left Sledgehammer, the studio has been working extremely hard on improvements and updates - something that never happened and was never going to happen under the dictatorship of those two clowns. Apparently SHG have really turned it around even with a depleted amount of staff and they've been listening to the community feedback and are focusing more on fun rather than heavily sweaty action. Sledgehammer probably wont ever make another Call of Duty as a standalone team but it's nice to see them showcase some of their potential and the fun that could still be had in the franchise. I never liked WWII when it was out because of technical issues I experienced and the ridiculous stance from Condrey and Schofield where they had to lie to justify not wanting to improve or change the aspects of the game. I always said, get rid of those two bastards and maybe things will change and low and behold, Sledgehammer have delivered. With BO4 in a right state, it may be worth checking out again before Modern Warfare drops. Many have already gone back to WWII so I think it may be deserving of another chance after all the work that's gone to make it an enjoyable game that actually works well for everyone.

I thought the first operation was awful with over 800 blank $1 tiers or playing 10 games of TDM for just one tier. It was probably the least scummy for greed but in terms of implementation, it was a total embarrassment. The original 200 tiers with a 50 day limit meant you had to earn 4 per day every day which equated to 40 TDM matches or nearly 400 minutes of play. OR just pay. They eventually improved the format of the operations but also increased the greed. I got out just as they nerfed the first operation. MW will be good for a week then it'll be a nightmare especially with the Gunsmith milking opportunities there. -
That was when the tier limit was 200 I think but then Activision extended it to 1000 tiers when they realised people were spending insane money to rank up rather than play the game.

I see GTA have finally added a casino where you spend real money as a buy-in but you can only win in-game currency and prizes. EZ munay.

I'm quite confident in Doom Eternal as the devs really know what they're doing and it looks great just like the 2016 version. I still wont pre-order but that's probably the only Bethesda brand which is a safe bet these days. Youngblood is being developed by Machine Games and Arkane but we don't know which parts of each studio are involved in the project. I can't see the main Machine/Arkane studios working together for the sake of a cheap spinoff just like a fringe ID team with Avalanche who worked on Rage 2 (now 50% off on Steam after 8 weeks) Doom will have the ID Tech A-team but Youngblood was probably churned out by a few members from both Machine and Arkane and the end result will likely be an experimental mess. Enemy levels and health bars with an RPG format has already killed it for me.

Also Phil you can access the DLC early via the beta branch to sample the new map and assets. You probably wont get a chance before release though and the campaign can't be done either but it does look decent.
-
Nah not for me. Games are simple enough as it is these days with many offering waypoints, x-ray vision and other spoonfed elements that plague the HUD and make it too easy. That one level in the New Colossus was just an absolute mess in terms of design and it really affected the whole product for some. The other levels albeit not great we clear enough to navigate and progress. Youngblood is releasing a day early on PC (24th) at £25 but there is not really any hype and the gameplay streams that have been showcased by Bethesda have been god awful. I'm gonna stick to the ARMA 3 expansion.

It varies - some things can only be accessed by Black Ops pass holders who bought the X operation entitlements but then still may need to grind for 350 hours or earn it through an non-disclosed change of supply drops. The first operation alone required the user to play something like 7 hours every day for 10 weeks. You can only really get stuff in-game by a deliberately stifled grind or buying supply drops. It's a mess really. Everything else is a direct purcha$e between 10-40% of the cost of the main game itself.

I just need to re-install my game😎 Gotta buy the content first though but I'll probably do that later for the discount. Apex was a quality DLC and this looks very interesting.

Phil has bought this😎

I would've thought it was more especially when they are charging £20-30 for melee weapons and guns that were free in other games. I don't think those figures take into account the nerfed elements i.e a user spent $1000 to max out their thin air levels on First Strike and got nothing but a thank you in return. It's horrendous either way.

Harry Kane vs Piemonte Calcio😎

I hear Tony Flamingo is pretty decent at Spurs too! Any Oxford players I get excited about end up being sold in the next transfer window😂 We have Gavin Whyte and Mark Sykes who are both Northern Ireland international first team players and they are absolutely deadly in midfield and attack. It's only a matter of time they'll be playing top-end Championship level and we're just keeping hold of them to raise their transfer fee. This comment will be flagged by the FBI for further examination😎

I hope the motion blur can be turned off but other than that, I am looking forward to the MP reveal. The blur just gives it too much of a cinematic feel and makes the framerate look a bit low. Hope we get a nice variety of maps too with different terrain types and sizes. It's embarrassing how Treyarch kept recycling the same old shit over and over and then change the time of day and weather to really stretch it out as much as they could. The likes of Firing Range have been done to absolute death - BO1, BO2, BO3, BO4 day/night/rain etc....Fuck me, sick of it. If they do a BR mode attached, they'll probably go for something like Alcatraz size-wise as opposed to a full scale Blackout type mode. BR is beginning to fade in its usual format and Blackout has been struggling for some time so I can't see them going for something too grand especially if it's free. I would've loved to have seen a massive BR in Prypiat on a 1:1 scale where the radiation acted as the gas - that would've been amazing IMO. Sadly COD devs spent too much time focusing on the future era and wall running to truly innovate like they used to. This gen has been a total wasted opportunity but they may well go out on a high with this.

There's a similar one from Fleetwood Manager Joey Barton coming out - it's called 'Joey Barton Fuck'd Up😎

Fixed😎

A tip for anyone doing predictions or putting money on; Bury and Bolton are starting the season on -12 points and are both financially fucked with no signings and most of their remaining decent players sold off.

What are you listening to right now?

I love those 80's remixes of modern songs! They do a great job with them plus the accompanying artwork is pretty damn good too😁 -
Finally some raw footage without those streamers screaming like idiots after every kill. Some of the weapons don't sound very meaty and I think this game is going to have an identity crisis.

I said after the CL final that Tripper is out of his depth. He's also out of the England team as it stands. A good player but not at the required level Spurs are looking to achieve and is now down the England pecking order. A big and Bizarre move to a depleting Athletico but could be a nice change of scenery. Rose is good lad who gives it his all always but is probably another player that's not quite up to standard.

This is Ubisoft though - they charge people £29.99 for in-game boosts so you don't have to play the game itself😂
