That's a pretty simple and good idea! Dunno why IW would explore something like this rather than going for the outline option which is just more work for an end-result that could look a right old mess.
-
I usually learn the maps and only use the minimap for chasing orange dots in the end. It's removal, even with bigger and more complex maps isn't going to be that devastating but not knowing where my teammates are could be an issue and is the most overwhelming complaint from people that have experienced the game hands-on. IW are talking about implementing a outline overlay through walls but that would make the interface horrible to look at especially in 10v10+ matches. I think they would just be best putting the standard UAV in the game - developers never seem to realise that in games like this, 95%+ are casual players and largely running solo without (serious) communication. After the SATCOM controversy in Ghosts, I'd rather they just kept it standard like the rest of the game rather than experimenting with something significant like this especially on a far more complicated backdrop.

Ninja Leaves Twitch/Other Big Departures

Twitch actually banned Drift0r after he switched😂 Salty as fuck -
I quite like Jack especially after what happened to him against Birmingham but his record is unfortunate and rather amusing. He's definitely not to blame for it though.

A good old friend of mine became addicted to Championship Manager 3 back in the day. I didn't see him through the entire summer holidays which was weird because we always played tennis and this was before phones were a big thing. I decided to finally go round his house and found he completed 144 seasons starting at Oxford and finishing in the Hungarian league. He carried on until his hard drive caught fire and he had to throw the CPU out of the window into his back garden😂 I started with Championship Manager 2, then 97/98, Championship Manager 3, 00/01, 01,02 then CM4. Once SI left the CM brand, I kinda lost interest although I did get the first FM manager and then another one around 2009. Great games but I just don't have the time like I used to. I may however get the new one coming out. I also enjoyed LMA Manager and Premier Manager on console.

Jack Grealish: 19 Prem defeats in a row😂 That looks like this - LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Looks like they are making more money on loot boxes than ever now even after all the controversy and them not even being on sale in some countries. Also bear in mind a large chunk of their income is from a game that's widely recognized as being shite and has an exceptionally low population. The remaining people in these games must be spending on average some serious money and sadly it is those customers Activision care about rather than how many and who bought the game itself. They made £50 out of me with Black Ops 4 but a regular player still playing 8 hours a day today may have spent £500+. If only the COD community would stand up to this practice like the SWBF2 lot then it would radically change how Activision did things for the better but the COD community for some reason loves spending big money on crappy guns for annual games.

Ninja Leaves Twitch/Other Big Departures

What an embarrassment Twitch has become Twitch backtrack after Ninja porn controversy WWW.BBC.CO.UK Streaming platform Twitch's boss apologises after pornography is hosted on Ninja's former channel. Let's not forget, this is supposed to be a reputable global company yet it seems to be ran by salty babies. -
Man Utd flattered or were Chelsea well and truly battered? Either way, it could be a difficult season for Che(at)lsea with no transfers.
-
Yeah, it has its own versions of games and gamers usually only play a select few rather than a range of titles over there. Chinese gamers also usually spend long periods gaming, mostly for the benefit of in-game items to sell and a lot of them relentlessly cheat for whatever reason. Tenecent own a large holding of a lot of these popular games over there and they have their own breed of customers who expect certain things from products. If you gave them a game like God of War or some shitty mobile game where you could drop items, they'd probably choose the latter to play.

I wonder what will happen if a console player using a M+K opts out of crossplay? There seems to be a growing number of tryhard sweaties on R6 Siege using the mouse/keyboard on console plus in COD, there's so many players using heavily modded controllers that removes recoil and enhances aim assist. There will also be PC cheaters using aimbots with controllers so they match on console which could be another big issue. IW may have a tough job on their hands and there's not much they can do. Keeping cheats on PC out of the mix is the priority and then I'd just hope not to run into the g-fuel $250 eBay modded controller mafia.
-
I think it's purely input-based so if you opted in on console, you'd only face PC players using controllers.
-
I believe some weapons were pay to win and others you had to even pay money via a pass just to become eligible to unlock them in supply drops or unlock them via long-term challenges. The game just got greedier as it progressed and I think Activision were basically using it as a testing product/platform for future microtransaction formats. I believe there is a lot more 'pay to win' weapons out there than people would believe though - regardless of what the in-game weapon stats say, some I'm sure are more powerful under the hood than their free or more common counterparts.

Trent Alexander Arnold was at the Oxford game today. I think were on the verge of making an overly-ambitious loan move for him😎
-
Brutal! You would get away with this in most countries
-
They reckon late 2020 at the earliest. I imagine it'll be September next year if we're lucky just in time for Black Ops 5 and the other annual releases. I'm gonna try the open beta on both PC and PS4 anyway.

Football rule changes for new season
J4MES OX4D replied to phil bottle's topic in Any General Discussion
I think this rule will become very problematic because already last week one of our players against Sunderland had stuff thrown at him from behind the goal when he was instructed to exit the pitch right in front of the hardcore home fans. I think it would be better if refs were just more strict in players exiting and/or in adding on time properly. -
I can only assume they were priced out of the Zaha deal for £75m and opted for Iwobi which for £34m is crazy money. He's only scored 15 goals in 150-odd games which is a bad return considering how active he's been the Arsenal first team in multiple competitions and playing within such a creative team. There are defenders with more goals in less matches too! He may very well flourish at Everton though but he'll need to radically improve his output.
-
Ah the usual kneejerk reaction to mass shootings.
-
Your best bet Dave would be to buy it on PC and use a PS4/Xbox controller if you wanted to play with other PS4 friends/users plus the PC crowd if you use a M+K. You get best of both worlds that way. If you have a first gen PS4 but half decent PC, I'd definitely go for the latter as the old consoles of this gen may struggle to run it and wont really do the game justice visually. Old gen support is waning badly now too. If you have a Pro tho, that would be fine.
-
The pre-order beta is only two days long before the open beta which lasts another couple of days. A week later we then get another beta phase for all formats. This is also an open beta as well as a pre-order one beforehand. It's not bad this year as you don't have to throw your money at Activision just to try it or scramble around to get a free code.

Activision have just released information stating they made $800,000,000 in 3 months from microtransactions across their franchises, as fans are 'embracing' new content and remaining 'engaged' with the products. I think we can pretty much assume that Modern Warfare will be plagued with MTX's shortly after release especially taking into account the money lost from the pass aspect. I think they'll do maybe four battle passes totaling £40 to mitigate that and then probably something even more aggressive than what we saw in Casino Ops 4 gunsmith related stuff. The only positive is that Infinity Ward produce much higher quality content than the cartoony trash Treyarch designs which wouldn't even be fit for purpose in most F2P mobile games. I just hope IW can maintain the seriousness and quality of the reworked MW brand, than resort to childish coloured crap and comedy melee weapons we've seen before.

I'm kinda the same although I think Borderlands 3 looks pretty amazing, with this going to Epic and Randy Pitchford being an utter dick, it'll be an easy pass. Take Two's behaviour now is the icing on the cake I wont be eating.
