Many people are starting to see this screen now Reminds me of the shitty old Treyarch days where the game is good but no fucker can seem to play!
-
The one and only good feature Ghosts had was Squads which enabled to to rank up in MP against just bots. As above^; AW does have customisable bot matches but you can't progress but at least you have all guns, perks and modes available. Combat Rediness is non-ranking combat training like BO1 but certain elements are disabled such as killcams and other players as well as bots are also in the mode.

Ah the old 'skill-based matchmaking' which seems to be some overused PR spiel that I've never seen put into action. It's more of a myth now but every year the devs seem to promote it as a key feature despite it's non-appearance just like dedicated servers!

This has been the worst implementation in Call of Duty history and is ruining the games IMO. Theoretically it should have been a good idea to balance lobbies out so everyone is on a level playing field but the fact that connections are being manipulated in such a diluted way accomodate the weakest connection in the lobby and the core matchmaking is unreliable; it's just a complete mess and the lag is simply unbearable. It was introduced to eradicate host advantage but all lag comp has done is made one player with a bad connection sink everyone else in the lobby to a massive disadvantage. I'd do anything to go back to the single host days of MW2 where our own internet connection was responsible for our own success assuming the matchmaking was executed into a sensible locale. One player with an advantage is better than 11 others at a disadvantage. I was in a match earlier; ran a dream for myself and everyone else. One player departed and was replaced by this chap in Morocco; suddenly the connection sunk to oblivion yet it's not anyone's fault; probably not even his as he wasn't within a reasonable locale to be placed in our lobby but the affect his presence had on the game just turned it upside down to an appalling standard. Lag is really killing the fun in AW and making the game run extremely inconsistently. How is it faring on the PS4 and is it noticeable?

I really like all the maps - there isn't one that I completely hate and avoid playing. Retreat looks pretty bleak but it plays incredibly well and is possibly my most favourite at the minute. Defender and Riot are also up there. The one that I'm not a huge fan of is probably Horizon as it could have been much better but it's still not too bad. Glad we don't have a 'nuketown' map where everyone persistently votes it in match after match although Greenband is proving popular in many lobbies it seems. It's rare that a COD game has such good core maps as they all look great and play really well. To think last year with Ghosts; I had to play a mode I hated just to avoid the likes of Siege, Chasm, Stonehaven, Free Fall and Stormfront! There doesn't seem to be any camper-friendly ones in AW plus with the verticality gameplay; people on rooftops can be easily got at.

I'm shocked that they've done this with the camo - I've only unlocked a couple on my most used weapon (BAL 27) and am creeping towards prestige only for it to reset entirely when I eventually reach 50. I think the camo challenges per gun are satisfactory to last the duration of the game so I'm glad they are tuning this.

Can't believe Man City lost again at home in the CL going down 1-2. They're still in with a shout of qualifying incredibly but they had Fernandinho and Toure sent off which could hamper them further.

Grand Theft Auto V - First Person
J4MES OX4D replied to phil bottle's topic in General Gaming Discussion
Good job Phil. The modding scene is going to be mental for this game! I've already done the story of the 360 and had a gander at the MP which didn't hold my interest but I'm certainly going to pick this up again. GTA 6 will probably VR-compatible for sheer 'authenticity' probably -
This thing is an absolute beast! Got myself an elite version of this and it's tearing people apart http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/537379928889892527/172CA263FDE5A965C292E50C21E9C96224F706CD/ Anyone else used this weapon yet? May revert to the standard edition for the suppressor though. The RW1 as my secondary is unreal also - practically a OHK even at range!

The SN6 is a very powerful SMG I've found. Not the best on paper by the look of things but even on larger maps; it can be effective. AR's are the dominant force of this game though

Arsenal 3-0 up against Anderlecht. Finishes 3-3

Same with me. Ghosts was my first game since CoD 4 on PC and despite it being shit anyway, it felt a bit strange playing away from console although I've settled into AW pretty nicely and with the game being compatible with controllers; I'm handing it pretty well. The KB+M looks a bit too tricky to master and my old 360 pad from 2007 is tearing some players apart which is good! I may even invest in an Xbox One windows controller soon

Played a few missions so far and it's really good. They've done a fantastic job with the animations and it looks spectacular. Also feels like a proper COD campaign which will be memorable in the long run and not a complete bore like Ghosts was last year with that bloody dog. Well worth a play through and hope to finish it by the end of the week.

I prefer to think of it as just COD with the exo's I was a bit on edge with all the Titanfall comparisons but this game still retains the COD feel and is simply streets ahead. I thought this game would be a departure from the typical Call of Duty but it's no different than BO2 minus the extra mechanics and is by far a better game. Certainly a pleasant surprise and has perhaps given the series a kick up the behind after last year. You thinking of getting it Phil?

I absolutely loved Black Ops 1! It was a great game to move away from the exhausting MW2 at the time. I was sick of the persistent noob tubing, OMA and Commando users. Also 4 kills pretty much guaranteed you an AC130. I loved MW2 but BO was more sensible and toned down but retained the fun factor that MW2 had at it's best times. I loved the maps, the killstreaks and the guns. It was a tremendous package only let down by bad bullet detection and lag. Definitely the last COD I truly enjoyed. AW so far is different and has the fun factor but I don't know if it will capture the brilliance of the good old days.

Cheers Johnny! I've just realised the Primary Gunfighter allows for 3 attachments and not two as I thought - ooops! Gotcha though; I'm still getting used of this Pick 13 and everything available.

I'm only rank 31 at the minute and haven't unlocked a ton of stuff yet but here's my current class which I've found pretty handy http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/537379298194913329/8257DCDF6F664288F8B867F541D7E02C836E914F/ Post your best setup so far and if anyone has any neat tips on improving your loadout; it could be a good thread to share ideas Pick 13 is really good too

I've got a few interesting items from supply drops but haven't really had a detailed look at most as I've been mainly using the core guns and cosmetic stuff. I have incorporated a few guns including an Elite AK12 into my classes which also has some sexy camo. Another thing you can do is redeem XP for the stuff you don't want - I have a few shitty bandannas and helmets that I'm going to off for around 3,000 XP which is a nice boost for doing bugger all! Are supply drops just entirely random in terms of when you earn them?

I can't seem to get a decent streak going. I've managed a few 5's and sixes with my best at 7 I think but I'm struggling to even get a UAV. Whenever I get a couple of kills or even three; someone kills me from behind. I'm not sure if it's down to the spawns or just the general layout of the maps with the additional verticality allowing for players to move around above undetected. Anyone else struggling to get things going?

^ Good game Euan! Shame about that tit at the bottom going 3-27 (sorry Dave ) Nice to see Rich on also. I haven't actually played on Retreat yet - hasn't even come up in the voting. Think that's the only map I haven't played so far.
-
Agree Jonny! It's actually better than I expected and my hopes we quite high in the first place. I know it's kinda the honeymoon period but this game is very impressive indeed and I can really see it becoming a community favourite across the systems. This is streets ahead of any COD that has come out in the last few years and is the type of game that could be the series saviour and completely rejuvenate interest. Even some of the prolific haters I've seen online are impressed with it!

I thought there were only 4 films Looks like I've got a bit of catching up to do. Van Diesel is da man!
