Agreed but its not gonna stop me getting the game. As @TigerBurge says, dont buy loot boxes. Like everyone. I dont understand why anyone would waste money on them. I dont know where the UK proceedings are but it'll like take a year or 2 to enforce it I'd imagine. It's an utterly shitty move but that doesn't mean you can't buy the game - good idea getting it second hand though @MrBiron, just don't think I can wait that long 😄

I missed it @fg_cal but I've just seen the snippets this morning...HYPE!!!

I thought it was a solid display from England against a strong, physical Tongan side. Also lots to improve on as we gave away some almighty stupid and naive penalties throughout. Just glad to get through it with a Bonus Point as well. Scotland just ended up being as inconsistent as they usually are. Ireland were probably there for the taking but the potential that the Scots always seem to have just faded as they made unforced errors and mistakes in Irelands 22. Ireland could build slowly so very wary of their progress. Also, England have to be at their best against Argentina. France were very lucky they played a completely different side in the first half to the second. Really enjoying this WC so far.

Dan isn't on his own you know. This game seems to have divided opinions for once and that's great. The pace clearly wont suit some people which I think is the main issue here. Some like it fast and ultimate twitch focused, others don't. Not gonna lie though, how you cant feel that it feels smooth I'll never know. Yeah, I personally think you're done on CoD. Plus, every game PvP game along the way gets campers and I didnt notice that many. Granted, the Ground War will obviously have more but that's because its Ground War! I can't think of many PvP games out there that are miles better than this right now. So if this is shit, I ain't got a clue what those people are gonna play for an FPS PvP shooter? I imagine sticking to different styles games such as Rainbow 6 and Overwatch.

You hit 2 points here Gaz. The people that want the old days will never be happy. They've remade games and after a nostalgia run, they would be bored shitless. That runs into your second point. Sometimes games just run out of life for people. I felt that last night out of a few peeps. They could see the good bits, but for them they feel like they wont get those gaming moments back. That's fine if they feel that way, but I think they need to give it a chance and make new lolz and new memories. You gave up after one game Didds but I'll let you off as you said you felt ill. Equally though that means I'll ignore your comments as Shotguns right now are in a bad place so that won't help you. Like @phil bottle said earlier you can still run around but just with a little more awareness than usual so maybe it's short bursts and then holding a section down. You can't deny we'll have tons of fun with this.

So @Nutcuttlit was talking about this while we played last night and I can see that it seems to be dividing opinion, which can only be a good thing. The bit that stuck with me is that CoD has always been arcadey. People have been saying it needed to go more simulation, similar to what Rainbow 6 has but not that far. In reality we really have the best of both worlds. I actually think the maps look very authentic. Granted, there are a few black spots that can be dificult to pinpoint an enemy that is hiding in there but I'm defnitely feeling the map design that it works so well for different kinds of players. There wasn't a map where you were overrun by Snipers, or by dashing, in your face style shotgun tactics. Shotguns will get a buff as they aren't successful at many ranges atm. M4 and MP5 is such a good loadout its difficult to switch to anything else. As its a Beta, I really do expect them to sort the spawns. But hey, its a PvP game. What PvP game has spawns working 100% correctly? The feel of the play was really good imo. I honestly think that because most of us commenting here are 30+ that we aren't used to change much these days, although the irony is that we wanted CoD to change so we could play one together that is way more enjoyable than all the rest. You have to keep persisting at this game. You could see our big parties win a ton of games together because most of you know strategies to combat all the different types of annoying CoD players that we'll be up against. This CoD clearly is different but only for the right reasons. I'm still sold on it - and for many FG party nights too (if it lets you put more than 6 of us in a party, stupid beta).

Just signed Lewis Holtby on a free at 29 from Hamburg. Yeah, that one player that played for Spurs and the German national team. Absolute steal of a player on a 2 year deal. Really hoping we can keep our momentum going for a number of weeks now with internal competition for places hotting up at Rovers.

How in the world was I leading after week one....FML @Findmartin @tronic44 @phil bottle @LordBaguette @ChaosGladiator @Stretch616 @jordie1892 @Dan94

Absolutely! P.S. Check the event tonight 😉

Event Title: FG Fridays - New MW CoD Beta Party Event Author: GazzaGarratt Calendar: Community Calendar Event Date: 09/20/2019 08:00 PM As it seems we may not have enough for Blackout, I know many of you will be on the new CoD Beta tonight! Let's at least get a party of 10 going so we can be a full FG force in the new game mode!! If you're around, click the GOING button!!! FG Fridays - New MW CoD Beta Party N.B. If viewing this via the FG App, please visit the Calendar event via browser to RSVP. Thanks.

I really don't think it will be at all. Yeah, yeah, mr positive says that all the time - but this time it really does feel different. Shame you get that, and I would agree with you on Spawns, however that's what a Beta is for so they can fix things like that ahead of launch. Definitely doesn't feel like all the rest but enough to make you feel like it still is a CoD game. Hilariously, the more I play the 2v2 mode, the more I enjoy it aswell. I also get to use different weapons and get better at them without being sniped off the map all the time. Download it again. You honestly cant tell me this game will be shit when we're all on it together. An FG 10-man team wrecking the joint and having lolz. How is that not worth your money?

Yeah, always was that way. It was just PS4 master race people got an extra weekend 😄

Good to hear you'll be around kore often bud 🙂 Yeah, I do feel the new CoD, new Destiny update and potentially Borderlands 3 as well will take up alot of peoples time here. Lots of good info is starting to come out about Shadowkeep, I cant wait for 1st October to be here. Still streaming and what not?

Do we know if there is a patch to the beta that was downloaded last week?

Here's the battle pass full rewards in an easy picture. Not sure what to think about Exotic engram as part of this set?

Theres some awesome armour styles available as well in the 'battle pass-esque' rewards where you just play the game and rank up. All in all, as soon as I just was able to see a brand new activity that is for 6 players I was sold. Menagerie is still great to do and the more stuff we can do in bigger parties, the better! I know some/most of this is seasonal so will go away in 3 months but I'd much rather take that knowing it should come back in a better state than before whilst we have more other options to go and play other activities.

Anyone that owns Forsaken can now access the Annual Pass from Year 2 for free. I think you'll have to 'download' the additional content but I'm pretty sure it's not any huge download to do, just an in game update. This means you get Black Armory, Drifter and Opulence seasons all accessible now.

Updated Calendar. Minor change to Exotic Quest which means it's all but confirmed that the raid will have an exotic called Divinity and now we get a separate quest for a Machine Gun that has insect type bullets in it.

Hey man, hows things? I imagine you're gonna get back into the new CoD coming out soon? Be good to see you online in the party at some point. Glad you found your way back mate, hopefully you plan on staying longer this time round 👍

Bungie's next Video Documentary ahead of the Shadowkeep launch on 1st October and talking more about Destiny 2 Year 3 in detail. Some little nuggets of new info and loot if you spot them.

Another mini challenge to obtain a Lego-esque skin for Bastion alongside some sprays and skins. From September 17th to September 30th.

Whilst I am always looking to add value for you guys and girls we also need to drop some dead weight that isn't being utilised currently. I'm disabling trophies and medals whilst the points earned (people may have seen on their profile, may have ignored it) will disappear as they were to work with a members shop which i just haven't had the time to implement correctly. I'd like to bring some form of recognition with medals and trophies back at some stage however when we have more capacity i'll look to see what genius plans we can create, all for your joyous fun, as always. Like always, we'll keep you informed when stuff changes so you know what is happening to your beloved home. Any ideas, keep them coming in the FG Suggestions tracker GGFG
