J4MES OX4D

I've got it pre-ordered and I did quite like the beta but I'm still not sure if it'll stand the test of time in the long run. The game looks great and the mechanics seem pretty fun but this isn't the Call of Duty I remember and with so much emphasis on the competitive and commercial aspects now; I kinda feel a bit fed up of it all. Ghosts and AW were both shite IMO and they didn't do very well in their own right but hopefully Treyarch will deliver a solid all-round package that can salvage some of the series past brilliance. There is certainly a lot in this game and value for money to be had but I'll either play it frequently over the next few months or be bored shitless within the first month. The biggest problem with BO3 is actually Fallout 4 coming out not so long after - if that's as good as it could be; COD will be put aside for the foreseeable!

Black friday be like...

Best medical team ever!

Kontrol Freeks are bloody good especially if you're coming from a 360. I'm not a big fan of the DS4 sticks but these give a bit more elevation and grip but the sticks are still a bit tight and the default turning circle sensitivity means you may have to do some minor in-game adjustments. It does take a bit of time to adapt to the pad - I still use my trusted 2006 Xbox 360 one on PC and it's still awkward reverting to the DS4 even though I've had the PS4 for nearly two years!

I borrowed it from a friend months ago on a friday evening and returned it to him completed on the sunday afternoon. I wasn't even worth my time so I felt bad he paid £49.99 for it The game looks fantastic but everything else is exceptionally poor. I finished it in just over 6 hours and the game is basically a rolling format of nonsensical cutscenes, walking around a very linear backdrop, horrible quicktime events and a few shooting sections whereby the letterbox bars obstructs your view when in cover. Such terrible game design and I cannot believe it took them 5 years to produce 6 hours worth of mundane 'gameplay'. Save your bucks for something else is my advice.

I heard he was in prison serving 6 months for stealing tea spoons from Robert Dyas? I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure this is correct.

That's a very good way of looking at it. I'm a massive fan of both the FPS genre and Star Wars but the quality of the game is really overriding my love for the SW franchise and as this could be described as an EA/DICE cash grab; I have to judge it as a game especially as it's just a reskinned watered-down Battlefield. Yep, it's running off the Frostbite 3 engine but it feels like it's using the original BF4 build that Battlefield Hardline (cash grab) used and if this is the case; then Battlefront would be a even more sickening cash grab. BF4's FB3 engine was riddled with horrific netcode woes (the same I experienced in Battlefront earlier) but that eventually got upgraded with a new clean build. If DICE have recycled the original build from the bin like Visceral did with Hardline; that would be utterly disgraceful. Even if Battlefront is using the latest Frostbite build; it's still an old engine that was 'only built for Battlefield' according to EA...

Northern Ireland qualify for Euro 2016 beating Greece 3-1! Republic of Ireland beat World Champions Germany 1-0 to still be in with a shout. Wales should also seal qualification with a draw tomorrow in Bosnia. Scotland as usual fail to qualify after conceding a last minute equaliser to Poland from Lewdowski who could only manage a measly two goals tonight

Agree Jonny! I used a couple of weapons and they were both exactly the same apart from having different skins and it was either hipfire people even from 25+ yards away which didn't feel right or use the horrible zoom which is equally horrendous to use. The guns just don't seem to have much personality between them and aren't much fun to use. If BF4 didn't exist; Hardline and Battlefront would seem more acceptable as FPS titles but compared to that; they lack in every aspect and I'm really struggling to get past that. I'm not even feeling much of a grand scale on this game either - the maps are actually smaller than they look I noticed and there's a max lobby count of 40 players which makes the matches seem rather empty. I encourage everyone to have a go though as the beta runs until Monday and hopefully some will enjoy it more or be more forgiving than me. I may brave it and reinstall it to have a few more matches but I can't see my opinion drastically changing.

Absolute crap. Firstly the game is very well presented and the audio is fantastic but the rest of it seems a lot to be desired. Firstly I played survival which was nothing short of boring as hell - finished the six waves on offer in under 10 minutes and just found the concept underwhelming. Although the finished article with house maps with 15 waves in each; it's dull. Next up I tried the multiplayer and the first match was a mode whereby you have to defend these pods to capture them and score. The map was a complete and utter mess with a dreary layout, hideous spawns and extremely bland combat. The infamous shitty DICE netcode that plagued Battlefield 4 was ever-present and even shooting someone 6 times in the head couldn't reduce their health bar below 50% as they take you down in seemingly a couple of hits. The HUD is also as ugly as hell and cluttered all over the screen. There's no strategy on offer, no real combat variety and not much enjoyment I found - just run, shoot, kill/die and do it again. The guns I was using was also pure hip-fire or overly-zoomed in ADS. Next up I tried the Walker Assault mode which is just lazers flying around on a very open barren snow map with a couple of walkers providing a slight distraction from the dull combat. This map had more scope and looked far better but still the layout was incredibly poor and lacked diversity - it's basically an empty mountain with a few players running around aimlessly. Despite seeming spectacular with the walkers; I was bored come the end of the match. Unlike BF4; there is no real room for tactics, not much weapon/combat variety or even map quality. There was no buildings to blow up, no destructive scenery or anything dynamic to impact the match - basically a firefight out in the open with nothing to do apart from shoot from the hip or easily pick them off at range if the hitboxes sync and stick to the player. The beta only represent a fraction of the game but I feel the underlying issues will affect the rest of the product as they are so significant. I'm not too disappointed as this is £50 saved right off the bat and it will give me more time on Fallout 4. Also not funding EA is a bonus. With no campaign and content in dribs and drabs scattered over many half-baked modes; I can't justify this price especially with DICE's dodgy reputation. I can see this peaking interest on release and then dying a death soon after launch just like Hardline. That game flopped as many remained or went back to BF4 and this will go the same way I think. This isn't the Battlefront I remember - it's just a half-arsed Battlefield reskin with limitations and a lack of ingenuity selling itself off the name. Unless the rest of the game represents a major shift in quality and content; I don't think I'd even pay a bargain bin price for it. Uninstalled.

Brendan Rogers sacked! Steve McClaren favourite to take over

Sergio Aguero scored 5 goals today but it took him bloody 20 minutes which is an age compared to Lewendoski

This game is looking insane now!

Ignore the Cinemabellend website - it is pure clickbait-oriented and they make up false stories along with partnered sites just to reel people in. Most of their information is speculative shite and made up not for credibility but for quick clicks.

Arsenal 2-3 Olympiakos Porto 2-1 Chelsea https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGRT3muhJas

I think there will be bumper discounts on both from Black Friday into Christmas especially with the standard 500gb drives. Should be some decent bundle deals too!
