Gamestop UK are selling the Xbox One Titanfall bundle for £369.97

In 2016, they will probably release the Xbox One Slim You'd be able to buy it with a Call of Duty Ghosts 2 bundle

That's the drawback of dedi servers. If demand is low for a mode; people wont stump up the cash for servers with limited traffic. They'd be better off running a Conquest server with 64 slots as you'd be able to fill it no problem and in some instances have players queuing.

Apparently on Friday the Xbox One will cost £399.99 with Titanfall. Not bad but still pricey and you can pick up a PS4 now for under £320 in many stores.

Dedicated servers FTW!

Coming to BF4 soon http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf4/forum/threadview/2955065225622053175/ Should bring a good competitive angle to the game for closely-knit teams.

Battlefield 4 is a tough learning curve indeed. It's a very different game than that of Call of Duty and I can see how some people may struggle to adapt or just simply not get into the game. It is definitely not a pick up a play type title. I've been playing Battlefield since the first game (1942) well over a decade ago and even I struggle today. Best thing to do is play with a bunch of friends, have fun and you'll soon pick up the general gist and how to go about matches. All eyes will be on Sledgehammer and the next Call of Duty soon. They will be looking over their shoulder at the likes of Battlefield and the prospect of Titanfall and with this being their first game; they will know what is expected of them. Ghosts may have proved unpopular for the dedicated community but it's not the end of Call of Duty and perhaps Ghosts being crap for many and the prospect of two major titles as competition; it may give the franchise a welcome kick up the backside.

Commando's Collection £1.49 or £0.44p for each game. MOTO GP 2013 £9

Didn't they do their Christmas special in March last year too?

For me, COD Ghosts brought back all the negative aspects of the early games that I thought the series eradicated. Most of the issues that were prominent in the likes of MW2 were taken on board by developers from feedback generated by the community. The new IW don't seem to listen to the players whereas Treyarch have a much closer-knit relationship with gamers. After playing weeks of Ghosts, it felt like I was back in the old days for all the wrong reasons. MW2 was badly designed and proved a learning curve for future games (or so we thought) but it had many positives and could be forgiven for being a fairly new concept for console gamers. Ghosts had the negative points we've seen previous but there wasn't any redeeming features either. If it wasn't for Battlefield 4 or the prospect of Titanfall; I'd sift my way through to max prestige again probably on Ghosts but these two titles demonstrate the future of MP gaming and they are so ahead of Ghosts; I find myself wanting more these days. COD just feels like an old gen game of a bygone era.

And that's because the game makes it noob-friendly in my opinion. The community was at its best with Black Ops 2 and morale was very high. Apart from the connection issues; it was a great COD but by removing all the things that made that game good in Ghosts; it's kinda killed it for me.

China Rising Conquest on PC has somewhat disappeared from the servers too. I wasn't a fan of the pack but there's only so much OpLoc I can take

I love COD but Ghosts felt like a major letdown that didn't live up to expectations for me. It also took a gigantic step backwards in some respects in relation to the direction the franchise was moving in. The PC release was also absolutely terrible in terms of support and functions. Firstly, IW removed the scorestreak aspect of the game which is ludicrous. Black Ops 2 allowed players to earn points and killstreaks by playing the objective which meant even weak players had a chance to score. The games flowed better and killwhores weren't as rife. Modes like KC and DOM on Ghosts have been ruined by this u-turn as players just farming kills and not bothering with the objectives as they add nothing to the killstreak ladder. The quality of matches just seemed to diminish for me. This is a fatal mistake right off the bat. The maps were also beyond abysmal in terms of size, spawn locations and just general dreary layouts. There were no memorable ones that I used to look forward playing and I used to cringe when the likes of Siege or Chasm appeared on the rotation. 'Dynamic maps' LOL; a lamppost falling over does not wow me in the slightest. Embarrassing by today's lofty expectations and side by side with other titles. There was also nothing unique or new. Create a soldier is just create a class with hats and coats and many perks are just what we've seen before but cunningly renamed. There was no theater mode or detailed combat record either. Popular modes such as HQ and Hardpoint which were very important for the spirit of competitive gameplay were strangely omitted despite IW initially 'championing' this part of the series. The 'new next gen engine' is not new and is not next gen. Don't let them pull the wool over your eyes. Titanfall is actually an older game and has the best engine in a videgame I have ever seen. Absolutely flawless. They should really take note as Respawn (The REAL Infinity Ward) have created an absolute genre-changing piece of technology. This is true next gen quality. Treyarch may get some stick but they are in-tune with the communities desires and expectations. They listen and deliver innovation on a large scale. They may not be technically fluent in their releases but the games they offer are of another quality. The new IW just don't have the know-how in taking the game forward and they can't seem to capture the brilliance of past games. I am very disappointed that I didn't warm to Ghosts. I was looking forward to experiencing this over the duration but after 5 weeks; I had seen it all. Around 30,000 people were playing this on PC to start with and then on my last day; there were 2,200 with a steady 95,000 on a broken BF4. The game and the community just felt soulless and I had to depart.

Last couple of days has really gone to shit on the PC. Friday and Saturday the game was running a dream and I had my chequebook and pen out for the Premium but now I've put them back in the drawer as the old issues are slowly occurring. I've been on a few servers which have ran extremely well for me previous but suddenly the netcode is wayward and lag is more than visible. Premium is definitely on hold now.

I've always liked the TG humour but when it gets ludicrously stupid I don't find it all that funny. I'm just waiting for the P1 v Porsche face-off and hopefully they'll have a massive challenge before the end of the series like the Vietnam or USA road trip.

Well I'll be blown; AC Black Flag now £24 on Steam!

Assassins Creed Black Flag £23.99

I won a match of Conquest HC on Op Locker earlier by 2230 tickets! It was a 3000v3000 large ticket server but we absolutely destroyed them to the extent they had to camp in their spawn for most of the match as we had all bases covered. We gave them every opportunity to capture E and D but by the end, they seemed to be shitting themselves at their base

Chelsea beat Everton 1-0 in the last minute to go 4pts clear! An ugly win but a crucial win. Everton will be a bit brassed off that they come away with nothing. Ozil has been dropped for today too which isn't much of a surprise. What is surprising is Harry Redknapp hasn't made a loan move for him at QPR
