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.

Royal Wedding and Man Utd v Chelsea in the cup final - what a boring fucking day. If it's anything like the 2007 final, not even booze will help!

It's basically Black Ops 3 Remastered! Very disappointed in Treyarch and I always said the day they let me down is the day I'm done with COD so this could be it for me. There's no real innovation here either; just some changes that mimic other popular games in recent years. They've also built the game around an element that a lot of people didn't like in BO3 with specialists. Hard to believe this is the same studio that made Black Ops and BO2 really. I actually have to wonder if this is the game they started out making in 2015/16 after BO3 or if their new game fucked up so they had to rescue themselves with time running out and the only way to do that was asset-strip BO3 and chuck together a game out of that and call it BO4. If this is what they wanted to do after BO3 then it feels like a lazy and unimaginative game. I wasn't a fan of WW2 or Sledgehammer but at least they tried to get COD back to its roots and innovate - Treyarch have played it bloody safe here and 4 Black Ops games is too much. What's next? Black Ops V set a week after Black Ops 4, just before Black Ops 3 but after Black Ops 2 on the 80th anniversary of Black Ops 1? I did enjoy BO3 but I don't really want to feel like I'm playing it again on a watered-down scale 3 years on.

Yeah, Treyarch games are a nightmare in core at the best of times so 150 health aka 4 shots to the head is gonna be pure hell! Also you're gonna be shooting someone, and deplete 75% health of a player and then someone else on your team gets an easy one hit kill after you did all the hard work.
