I don't understand what they are going for with the health system in all honesty - everyone has said that the regen back to 150 is instantaneous and only requires one button press of L1. Seems very generous indeed but I get the feeling that Treyarch think it's harder and takes more skill than the auto regeneration!? Defensive players, headglitchers and campers will have a field day with this especially if they have a team in tandem doing health boosts for them to 200. Very strange decision and what's happening about non-lethals - is it another button or are we only allowed to select lethal or non-lethal now?

I hope this is just a case of a bad trailer and the game actually being decent. The reveal event was dreadful - 25 minutes of the usual generic PR chit chat with few details given and to top it off the extremely convoluted trailer which didn't explain much else. Black Ops 4 certainly seems better than how it's conveyed in its own trailer and I'm hoping for the same here but that trailer seriously misses the mark and I have to question what the hell were they thinking/smoking when producing it.

A lot of angry comments streaming in😄I've watched the video a few times now and it's probably one of the worst trailers I have ever seen. Soldiers with blue facepaint, Steampunk clothes and bionic arms in WW2? GTFO DICE.

I've managed to watch a fair few of the gameplay videos from the event and I must say the game seems to play reasonably well and the maps look good. The trailer certainly doesn't do the gameplay justice. Still not sure if the competitive nature of the game is for me but even with the sweeping changes, there could still be a decent COD experience in there. Be good to see more at E3.

Meh, not a very good trailer - far too cinematic and over the top. No expansion packs confirmed though so all MP DLC will be free it seems which is good but there's no way EA would sacrifice such a lucrative revenue stream without replacing it with something more significant...

Same. I didn't see one user in the whole BF community in recent months say they wanted a WW2 game. Just hope it is different enough from the last as I don't want to feel like I'm playing BF1 DLC.

No Man's Sky - MP is finally coming
J4MES OX4D replied to GazzaGarratt's topic in RPG / Action / Adventure
Scammer. Lies for two years straight to the media and fans about multiplayer (along with everything else) features in the game and 24 hours before the game is launched, he drops the bombshell on Twitter after everyone has pre-ordered that the game doesn't have multiplayer afterall which was it's biggest selling point. He then goes into hiding for 3 months. Two weeks before launch he also did an interview with IGN also talking about the MP elements in detail. 'Yes' Man Murray is the biggest bullshitter in the industry and I can't believe he's releasing that piece of turd on Xbox. Microsoft must be desperate. The only reasons he still supported the PS4 version was to save his own skin and swerve litigation down the line for the studio - people would've been entitled to refunds and many did get them before he craftily announced the first major update after coming out of hiding. He certainly embarrassed Sony and they weren't too happy with it. This weren't an early access title either and it's games like this that give developers an excuse to release incomplete games at full price without a care in the world. Game don't deserve no more money or exposure and even today; it's still threadbare on how Sean Murray had presented the game months before release. Easily the biggest deception in gaming.- 1 reply

How did I forget this?

I just don't get why they persist with making competitive a priority when it represents such a tiny amount of players and alienates the majority. Also the only good competitive format this franchise has ever had was on Black Ops 2 when COD was a dominant force in the genre and gaming as a whole. This franchise was at its best and sold more copies than ever when it was purely primarily casual. Heavy SBMM factors and general sweaty gameplay has seen the games become dead soon after Christmas. Activision need to accept that this series will never thrive as an eSport, it will never see the online viewership like it used to and it wont generate commercial revenue like other more appropriate titles. I do find a lot of the changes interesting and potentially refreshing but BO4 is trying to be something that it's not and with no campaign either, people are going to be put-off in droves I fear. The scoreboard is a joke too - seems they rate 'damage dealt' as fashionable over more fundamental factors. I dunno if they are trying too hard or have even completely misread the market or if they are just building the game around Activision's wishes but it's another developer and another year they have really missed the mark on how to make a hugely appealing COD game again. Already people are getting hyped for the prospect of MW4 because you don't really need to play BO4 to know if you will like it or not.

Any classics from any female singers over the decades. Shit music is forgiven IF the singer is hot and no Madonna whatsoever. Many thanks.

This is a pretty informative video outlining all the new features in BO4 - a few of which may have gone unnoticed in the reveal event

Apparently Emery's English isn't very good but then again, none of the Arsenal's players is either!

Christ, I remember these rumours from years ago and they always stem from Arsenal - funny they only started drying up when Arsenal stopped winning things. If this Super League ever materialised soon; Arsenal wouldn't be in it - they'll still be in the Prem going toe to toe with Burnley and Leicester! Don't worry Phil - you don't have to go all the way to non-league; the football league is perfectly good and very few plastics aside from Reading fans who follow Chelsea on the side!

Bit ironic when it became the 'Champions' League; non-champions were in it. Give it 20 years and the team in 10th will be able to get in. That'll be good news for Arsenal at least😎

It may be very early especially as Black Ops 4 as only just been revealed but news is slowly coming out about some old Infinity Ward staff who left for Respawn have since returned to the studio to possibly be working on Modern Warfare 4 in the year of the 10th anniversary of MW2, please let this franchise die already,. These are key staff too - not just someone that makes the tea - people who had a significant role in the creation of the iconic games in areas which the forthcoming games have suffered in since their departure back in 2009. Infinity Ward disbanding and changing hands after the lawsuit was not only the worst thing to happen to this series but one of the biggest tragedies in gaming. Looks like many have seen sense to leave Respawn under the clutches of EA and come home. That doesn't exactly translate that the series is now saved and their next game will be epic - a lot has changed in this gaming arena and Titanfall wasn't exactly the COD killer many were expecting but if they get it right instead of chasing all the latest trends and go and innovate and inspire like they used to; it could breathe new life into that side of the franchise. Just gotta hope it's not Ghosts 2 or Infinite Warfare 2! Considering how stale the franchise got when it was modern; it's been so long that something like this would now be considered original! Eight thoughts has it covered😎

I honestly don't know how United finished 2nd or amassed that many points really. The squad needs a huge overhaul (and probably the management) and that will take time and cost a bomb. Guardiola may have spent more but he spent well and improved the players that were already there like Sterling. Mourinho inherited a very dull team from Van Gaal and with his dull approach, it was just as painful to watch albeit a bit more successful. Also the players he brought in haven't exactly shined and his public criticisms of his own players and general spats with other mangers has certainly impacted the team negatively. I grew up watching Fergies United which were incredible and every United game was incredibly entertaining. Old Trafford is dead now and the fans haven't seen a good match since 2013 it seems. Even big fixtures and huge spectacles against the likes of Liverpool and Arsenal were extremely boring and underwhelming in recent memory too. Jose was once a feared manager and a mastermind of football but now he's just there to wind up and his negative approach is becoming more and more predictable that other teams aren't falling for. I bet a lot of players who would've wanted to play under him don't want to any more so even a club like that could struggle attracting big names. I agree with Chaos above - signing an ageing Macy Gray lookalike from Chelsea's second string isn't exactly going to set the world alight or inspire United for years to come.

Yep, even the core playlists of TDM and DOM on the likes of Infinite Warfare struggled to get games going on DLC maps because of the low content sales and existing population. People were buying the new maps and not even being able to play on them especially when they were injected into the main rotation. Back when you had 750,000-1m online at a time, you didn't have to worry and could easily get a game going on any map and any mode at any time but now what's left of the player base is split more than ever with low amount of players, DLC owners and then you have the SBMM also stifling the chances. Free maps is sensible and long overdue.
-
Bit hypocritical with Mourinho bitching about Chelsea having 9 men behind the ball when they were 1-0 up - he usually has 11 men behind the ball from the first minute even against the likes of Burnley and Bournemouth! They even played for a 0-0 draw at home to West Brom which didn't work out too well😎
-
Yep and hopefully we get more than 9 pissing maps this time too. It's a sensible decision really if true as the recent COD games have been dead by the time the second DLC pack has dropped. One new map a month or something would be ideal and wouldn't split the player base or restrict matchmaking or map rotation. The standard COD season pass format was getting very tiresome and wasn't worth the price.

The problem is COD was nicely varied on the old 360/PS3 gen where people were confident in the series every year and were happy with a new game at the time. Nowadays every game they release isn't good enough and can't retain a decent population, so people are always hoping and hyping for the next release so there hasn't been one concrete game that would capture a wide audience for a substantial period of time where Activision could support it for years. With BO4 being built more around the competitive element when the population is primarily casual; a lot of players have already been alienated at this design focus so once again, we'll likely have another COD game that fails to capture a significant audience and not be viable after Christmas let alone a full one year cycle or beyond. COD's been so focused on its era and supply drops this gen that it's forgot how to truly innovate in other aspects and now it's playing catch-up and having to poach from other games which are far more established in terms of population, ongoing viewership interest and income. Until the franchise actually produces a good game for starters; only then can they build from that and I simply don't think Activision can trust their developers to do this which is why an annual release remains their strategy.
