I've gamed on Xbox for the past decade and I am mortified at how dreadful the One is shaping up regardless of all the retractions Microsoft have made. The damage has already been done and their reputation in my eyes is in tatters. I Can't wait to get back on the Sony bandwagon and as far as I'm concerned; Bill Gates can shove the VHS-Esque entertainment box right up his bottom

Pre-ordered from GAME but could only make it to phase 3 which means I won't be getting it until mid-December but certainly in time for Xmas! Still a bit miffed that Watch Dogs has been put back for at least 6 months but I'm still utterly pumped for it and cannot wait to play next gen FIFA
-
Mmmm interesting coincidence! Strikezone is part of the campaign but the map ripped for MP is domeishly different! The other maps are all pretty unique and well designed albeit a couple of oddball ones so I'll let them off this one. As long as a Downturn-esque map doesn't appear in any DLC; I'll sleep easy

Man City lost 1-0 away to Sunderland for the fourth consecutive year lol! United 1-0 up against Arsenal and RVP has scored which will upset the Gooner faithful especially if they don't get a result there!

I've played about 12 hours so far and have just reached the 40 mark. I have played predominantly Cranked this DoubleXP weekend which has given me a big boost in a short period of time. I hope to get to at least 43 before the normal rate resumes tomorrow. I've seen a couple of people already on PC well beyond 1st Prestige but they have clocked 25+ hours already. How's it going for you lot and what rank do you think you'll finish the day on?

Funny you mention that; I had Black Ops for the PS3 and that was a great game but ruined by lag on a level I have never experienced before and will probably never see again. Even with the local settings and running the risk of featuring in French lobbies with their (FR)UnCampe names, it was a terrible experience. I don't have much luck with Call of Duty but Ghosts even with his poor settings and general appearance is more acceptable that some of the times I've had on these games!
-
I don't think it was ever confirmed and in all honesty I can't see that being the reason as the host is the only person affected as his data is being captured yet how many hosts had advantage... I can see general server storage being an issue and perhaps a reason for it being removed - everyone had about 100 matches at a time stored and if 10 million played in a day; that's a whole lot of data to retain.
-
Does anyone know why theater mode was removed? I had no idea they were omitting it for Ghosts and it's a real shame because I don't have any capture hardware and it's made looking out for hackers pretty tricky. I'm on PC so I usually swear by such a function. Also why hasn't Elite been updated - have they canned that also? I'm not too bothered about this but it just seems along with theater, a step backwards from what we've seen in recent years.
-
After the update yesterday, the game asked me if I wanted to revert to the game's recommended optimisation settings, so I clicked OK and when I went in to the menu; everything was set to low instead of extra! Jeez, I didn't even know 640x480 existed anymore
-
I am currently playing Kill Confirmed, Cranked, Blitz and Domination on PC and it seems pretty hit and miss depending on the map and the mode. Cranked seems a bit iffy but the mode is extremely chaotic at the best of times so that doesn't surprise me! I haven't seen the patch notes yet but DOM seemed slightly better yesterday along with KC but I don't know if this is patch-related or just being my luck was better with the spawns!
-
The 360 version is pretty much flawless isn't it? If I were you, I'd hop on now as it's absolutely brilliant so far! I'm on PC and we definitely needed a patch pronto and it is looking better already.

If EA think they can topple Call of Duty then they are pretty damn deluded! I agree with TigerBurge that they should release it in a window that is not riddled with competition. The late spring/early summer is usually a quiet time for games anyway with more focus on trade shows and the Christmas launches. EA will never win and even with a fully functional and perfectly working game; they will still fall short by a country mile in my opinion. I hate what EA have done to their FPS franchises; they are all rushed, broken and in Medal of Honor's case; soulless. The games are non-comparable though albeit being in the same genre I feel and Call of Duty is more user friendly and enjoyable rather than being more vast and 'realistic'. If EA want to keep self-competing, they are wasting their time as nothing will get close that they can offer.
-
I haven't seem the 96th minute penalty for Chelsea at Stamford Bridge but apparently it's an outrageous decision! Mourinho retains his unbeaten home Premier League record but very controversially. Liverpool looking pretty decent as are the impressive Southampton.
-
Does anyone have any good recommendations for a half decent pair of trainers? I usually opt for KSwiss but any other brands and styles of footwear would be most welcome. Also, what do you guys usually wear casually?
-
Anyone else finding the spawns a bit irritating? I swear I either get placed way away from the action or far too close to the mix. It seems worse on some maps than others but it's particularly bad on the likes of Siege. Nothing an update can't cure mind...
-
Haha well I will pass it on to Peter and see if he can get a hold of him and see what the crack is regarding his return to the country and on here. Cheers boss!

The Official Call of Duty: Ghosts Multiplayer Thread
J4MES OX4D replied to Commander_Undies's topic in Call of Duty
Found this http://www.charlieintel.com/2013/11/09/search-destroy-returning-to-public-playlist-on-nov-15th/ Fantastic news for the fans! -
That's right; Monty Moore! I live two doors down from his brother Peter but Monty is AWOL at the minute apparently. I don't know what his user name is but he said he was on here although I can't locate him. I'm sure he'll be back on soon once he's back in the country......and if they let him back in lol!

GT6 for PS3 only, GT7 for PS4 in 2-3 years
J4MES OX4D replied to Diddums's topic in General Gaming Discussion
Ah that's a bugger; I am not a GT fan but was looking for a decent racer for the PS4 and I'm surprised that they have opted to keep it on the existing system. I read somewhere that GT5 took 6 years to finish and even then it wasn't entirely complete on full release? If that's the case, I'm sure they will try and get their moneys worth and milk it to the max. With #Driveclub pegged back by Ubisoft; I don't know what to get now... -
That's good; MW3 felt like everyone had painkiller with the vests!
-
Thanks very much! A chap called Monty if anyone knows him? I can't find him on the members list though but he said pop on here for Call of Duty chit-chat except he's apparently working in Canada now or something crazy and now I can't find the douche anywhere lol!

I hope SnD returns; I'd happily see Infected removed if one playlist has to be sacrificed. There was 56 players on PC in the Infected lobby earlier so I can't really see it holding out albeit being IW's precious creation. I imagine it is pretty sparse on console also although it attracted a few on MW3 in its time. Blitz is a blast at the minute especially if everyone is on-song and actually playing the objective instead of camping on the defence portal. Cranked is fast and furious and I'm going to try SnR over the weekend. I still can't believe TDM is the most played when you have KC which is much more enjoyable and the points are greater. The classic mode just feels a bit bland and it's not like picking up tags is all that exhausting for the casual player who isn't objectively focused.
-
Portal for £1.74 and Portal 2 for £3.74 is remarkable value! Also Total War: Rome II is £22.49 until Monday. If anyone sees any good offerings on Steam; we'll throw them in this thread if anyone is interested...
-
Ranking up seems much slower on Ghosts than in BO2 so I will be looking to maximise the Double XP weekend by playing the modes that offer the most points. I've been playing Kill Confirmed quite a bit which seems to pay well but is there any other decent modes that offer a good chunk of XP?
-
Ghosts is running reasonably on my PC but even on the 'Extra' optimisation settings; the game looks pretty rough - I would actually say Black Ops 2 looked better with a nice colour palette and smoother textures.
