Sounds like a lot of content. May be an unpopular opinion but I'm cool with this, if it's about a tenner. Maybe abit more would be okay too. I'm not having to deal with lootboxes or other bits in this CoD so I dont mind supporting games if they give us the content we want. And let's face it, we need more maps and better structured ones too.

It's the most random game I've ever seen. If the controls are good and theres enough stuff to find then maybe it's worth it. I like the idea of working with others online to change the world that you are in. In reality though I'm not sure how that works if someone picks it up a few months later than others. What does their world look like? Is it multiple worlds on different servers? It's based on Horizon Zero Dawn mechanics so that's clearly a great positive to have in the bank.

Cyber Attack! That's it! Dunno, I think theres always that slug shot that hits further away than expected. You just have to ge so accurate and on ADS.

I've heard it's quite edgy which helps to make it a more engaging campaign. For once, I'm really looking forward to a night to pick it up and give it a go. Can it be played offline btw?

My worry is they get rid of large battles at some point which I hope they don't. Always want to have one or two modes where its higher than 6v6 is available but I think it's purely down to how the large maps are laid out. Cant believe we'd agree on that Adam @Dr Diamond... Maybe they need to remove a few large ones and tweak them before putting them back into rotation. The one plus, if it is one is that it's made me appreciate sniping more in battles and not sticking to one gun all the time. Oh, and @Greboth agree with the solo thing, not so much the Shotgun nerf you mentioned previously. I think they arent OP at all, it's just they work well on one life modes like SnD and Bomb Array (if that's the right name??).

Surely only a good thing. Is Steam now becoming the place to be?

Yes, absolutely. As that's hilariously funny to watch 😀

Let's have a thread for all of our FG stories on games together, as theres already been some hilarious lol moments already. And if you have any screenshots or quick snippets of videos why not drag them here (stick your proudest ones on the video section 👍).

Tons of stuff coming today!!

Glad you are Pat. I do wonder if theres even more aim assist on Mobile than console? It always looks and feels good when I see and have a quick go on my mates phone.

Glad to hear it man!!

Didnt expect that one. That's a pretty big move as I'd argue that guy has done a lot for the Destiny community and charities along the way so a good guy going will definitely make a few more consider viewing mixer now. I can see that from his comments already.

That's seriously fucked up if you have ran a cable from the same place you used it upstairs and it worked. You've got one weird house man.

So what size mate did you need?

Okay, I mean we can all be critical of the game but it really isnt that shit @J4MES OX4D. It isnt CoD as we know it and they have some improvements to make but its definitely not that bad at all. As I said earlier, your playstyle will dictate how you like this game initially. The reaction feels very similar to how Rainbow 6 felt. Hard as nails to start with but once you adapt to the game more and more, and also unlock better weapons, attachments, etc then you feel like you make a difference. Maps are bad, I'll give you that. However, I think that's more down to what game mode is available for each map. Dont put a huge open map up with a control point wide fucking open to everyone. Or deathmatch that takes 15 hours to find someone. Not seen this happen too much but its something they need to fix for sure. I dont think that's quite true. The BS you dont like isnt there in this game so potentially for you it could be a winner as you got bored of the series years ago. If you can stomach Destiny PvP, you'd enjoy this I reckon. It's the CoD regulars that love twitchy speed gamers that may not get on with it. It's good to see the likes of @JBR-Kiwi giving this a try although it will be through some initial pain.

No discord integration but could come with PS5 maybe. Party chat is up to 16 players now on PS4 so just sort your life out Adam like PlumberDave says 😉

Depends on what your spec is Adam? Do you care about 4k, etc? I now find that now we have HD the finer updates to graphics and clarity aren't enough for me to blow tons of money on a souped-up TV. Therefore, most TV makes I dont care as they're mostly the same now. I think it's more about what size TV you need and then work back from there. I'm sure people can give some recommendations then 👍

If it's easy it has a chance. However, most top gamers are openly critical about Facebook and rightly so. If it wasnt for the FG page account, I'd be off FB in a heartbeat. Super false place with horrible datamining on your own life.

Tommy, the only thing I can think of unfortunately could be the electrical wiring to the basement plug sockets. I (think) internet can be affected by the electrical currents passing to the plug and therefore if it's not strong enough current to take it from your router to the basement then it wont work. I'm worried I have a similar issue because mainly i dont trust my bro-in-laws handywork on my house and I get 50mb via a wire from my booster when direct from the router I got 177mb. Not sure if theres something you can get to test the current?

Always been a cool concept but personally I just think it breeds 360omegalulznoscope attitude trying to get a perfect angle on their kills. Like @Greboth says, consoles built in clips available I'd rather seem them work on more maps than extra UI elements.

Pretty poor they couldn't get a tenth and secure the record for themselves. Pfft.

Mixer throwing dollar bills at these top streamers, I'm just not sure itll change the way people watch channels. Twitch remains pretty easy to interact with from a viewer POV and everyone wants ease these days. When it's pretty easy to find and watch good streamers on twitch there needs to be more incentive to switch their behaviour.

Well my initial thoughts are two halves. Initially, I have to say it felt bloody awful. It clearly feels like a steep learning curve because the maps, the starting guns are all pretty crap imo. A few maps I really enjoyed but they need to specific maps switched off for some gamemodes. Playing last night with @fg_cal @Chookes and @STE M was horrible on wide open maps for Deathmatch. Very like BR games, run around from spawn for 2 minutes to get battle but get picked off out of nowhere. Also, not sure if the colours have changed from the beta but I struggled like mad to find where my opponents were. When you watch the death cam it's like they could easily see you. Now for the good. Dont judge the game until you unlock stuff. It's more and more feeling like R6 than any other game but not as sweaty/Competitive (yet) as that game. As soon as you get to level 4 it unlocks the M4 and you start to feel better about the game. Sights matter so much to identify where people are. And it's far more about tactical attacks, not just blindly running around and getting kills. I slowed myself down, found where the enemy were bottlenecking up and took kills out of them. I went from first games in CoD 1-15 to going positive on nearly every game. It's like @TigerBurge says, don't be naive like a million others and treat this like its just another CoD because it doesnt feel like that - and this franchise needed this with everyone hammering to Kingdom come. I think theres a lot they need to tweak amend based on my early bad points (and dont forget how too easy it is for them to get UAVs everywhere) but there is a promising game underlying here. Euan struggled like fuck to start with and @Diddums will hate it atm as Shotguns need tuning - you cant blindly run around yet and get kills out of nowhere. It's not just the game developers that have to adapt to the changing market, gamers do too. Otherwise they need to just stay on their PS3s and Xbox 360s.

Thanks for you all so far that have gave us some stuff to look at and think about sorting @Nutcuttlit @BO7H B4RRELS @ChaosGladiator @Middle Class Caveman @Greboth. Be good to have as much as possible thoughts from everyone else too (and you guys if you have more), I'll never stop wanting to hear it. @Nutcuttlit, yep totally with the diversity of game nights. It took quite abit out of me to get a 6 week type schedule with all different games out there and it was reasonably successful to get us playing, however it'll need more people to get behind game nights so I'd love for more to nag and remind people the fun they are missing if we do get these game nights up. Let's look at some R6 nights as most here do own that. @BO7H B4RRELS Christmas! Hell yes, I would love to do some more stuff at Crimbo time - a FGFGF giveaway is definitely on the cards. As always though, it will be based on the generosity of everyone here so we can giveaway some nice goodies for all - we'll give away whatever we can buy from the funds that are sent in. @ChaosGladiator @Middle Class Caveman @Greboth great to hear some interest in a little tournament so let's try and do one for the new CoD as you mention. Elliott, definitely we need to go back to the free games available too, it partly worked when we had a week for that fighting game Brawlhalla we tried out. A great few bits to try so let's hope when we get stuff sorted lets get behind it and make it as fun as possible for everyone to join in. Anymore thoughts from anyone please shout up.

Thought it would be best to have a separate thread for these @phil bottle. I a;ready have version 3.2.0 so was expecting it to update it to 3.7.0 but it isn't offering the update, just wants to start the game. Also, its saying i've only got 3.4GB of RAM available and I need 8GB to make it run smoothly. However, I have 16GB so where do i check this to optimise my PC for it?
