Just being Diddums ofc 🤦‍♂️ He'll be back as per usual. It helps him play his neglected PC though for a bit now.

My tl;dr initially said it is disappointing to wait another 4 weeks to hear what's incoming so I think I'm slightly with you on the wait for new content. I've never seen the dev boast but if they did (i won't doubt you), that seems so strange to do so as its clearly not 3000 gameplay devs working on it. Roadmaps seem to be the thing that everyone wants but in games and everyday working environments, we seem to not be able to get them unfortunately. Usually my experience is that the roadmap promises stuff and then other things happen or become more important whilst we wait for the later roadmap things. I get it, its damned if they do, damned if they don't but I would agree that some form of roadmap is actually nice to see...maybe with some confidence levels alongside each thing to help manage expectations. 🤣🤣🤣 In a month's time we'll be loving every minute then! 🤣😄 I just hope they can add One in the Chamber to Private Games. It will certainly mean we'll play this game on an FG Friday a whole lot more.

Oh poop. Looks like just me then that can't remember that one (I don't remember many tbh until I play them!) Learning maps is something that most games don't drop on you all of a sudden. Not saying its not acceptable...but I understand it by putting myself in their shoes. Maybe its just me though. Hang on, it came out in November right? And 3 years is actually a small development cycle. Don't deny they have many devs but i'd love to know how many actually work on the game as i'm not sure its 3000. I was close to quoting an old phrase ppl used to use back in the day 🤣🤣 Agree to disagree on this. People have now even changed their tune about Taraq (not me, but most FGers really like it now).

I don't think the map rotation is too bad even though I would agree we need more maps - and they've said they're bringing them. Just probably nearer to 3 maps than 5 imo as you don't just dump a load of maps in overnight. In some ways, having 5 maps to get used to straight away is always difficult so there is an advantage for them to be released over time. I think sometimes it depends on what people are selecting to play in their playlists. We've been having Hardpoint, Domination, Kill Confirmed, Prisoner Rescue and Knockout all in the rotation which definitely helps you rotate the maps more often than maybe just playing Dom on its own. Found this info above which helps to understand a little more. Gunfight is definitely fun with 2 or 3 of you depending on the rotation, Gun Game is badly needed for Private Matches, I'll take a new Castle Map and then hope that they'll be more released outside of this. As said in a separate thread, I would expect 2 old maps returning based on the large Warzone map info we already know about and I certainly think they'll get hit with negative feedback if its just the one map as above tweet. tl;dr - Its not all bad as more decent content is coming. Slight disappointment we have to wait nearly 4 weeks to see what it actually is.

Thanks for all the kind messages and wishes all! ❤️

Every bloke watching that universally checked their phone was on silent 🤣🤣🤣

Great episode. Haven't finished it all yet, as I usually struggle to get time to watch full episodes, but love the coverage on the gaming tables and then also the interesting chat about boss battles. ❤️

Understandable. Even though I would say we're still small, we are a large tight-knit group and no one wants to fall out, conflict is a real waste of energy these days. However, good debates and discussions should always be had, thats what places like this are for. Its just extremely difficult if any person at any moment takes something personally when all/most here don't say stuff to antagonise anyone. Speakers Corner worked once in the past, and possibly could again, but the main issue for me is Moderation. We very rarely do that here and lucky not to. However, even when you politely get threads back to OP discussions, you'll still find someone immediately gets angered, which shouldn't be the case. Also not sure I have the energy to help stick my head in when something gets out of hand in that 😅 Sorry, slightly derailed the convo above! But thought as we haven't mentioned much about politics type threads in ages, I thought I'd let you know where I stand. I'd love to learn more from you all and be educated by good debates here. At the same time it could prove more trouble than its worth. I've still not been stopping them as they come up every so often though. Lastly, I wish everyone could type as eloquently and debate like @phil bottle and @Plumbers Crack above. Would make everything so much easier! After all, we do have Didds...😅

We had great success with the first all for fun 'FG Germany Cup' with 8 of us, I created the next one a while back to try and get up to 16 of us for the FG France Cup! As per the last one, when names are finalised, I'll do a team randomiser for us all in the French league to see who we all get. We've got 11 signed up so far (tagged below) and looking for 5 more people! Happy for this to still be on FIFA 22 unless we all we all have FIFA 23? Lets give it a week and if we don't fill the last 5 spots fully, I will fill the remaining spots with a BYE for the first round for some people! Roll call so far are: @Macca89 @LordBaguette @James5497 @Findmartin @G_dub52 @Luseth @JamaicanSteve @jordie1892 @Tadnothad @GazzaGarratt @Antpool84 Let's hear who else wants to get involved for the fun and lolz! Everyone tag anyone else you know who should come and have a laugh. P.S. To enter you just need to create a Team on the Tournament page. If you're struggling, please drop your name here and I will help you create it so we can get you in!

Mate, i'm so used to running around like an absolute madman to get the control point or hardpoint or tags, my mind just forgets where to go. Cheers, I will ask for one game everyone else can PTFO for me so we can win aswell 😅

It feels like forever since we've waited for it and now its nearly here it feels like I didn't expect it so soon lol. It will be interesting to see how it works - it really is a gamechanger though because I think the one thing that stops us using crossplay so much is the voice chat PITA process. This removes all of that and we get a better quality chat.

Got the RPK and TAQ-V Gold tonight so not many LMGs to go. Nearly got Minibak (Closer Blueprint) although the Point Blank kills are killing me. Even on shipment can't seem to get up close enough. You've literally got have their face as your pixels on the screen and nothing else.

Wasn't even anger 🤣🤣 but now I know what you like...😘 Also, I'm surprised your coined phrase 'New Content Everybody' hasn't come out here yet. Especially when you used it a billion times in Destiny threads. You happy with the content so far?

Stick to the OP please (reminding myself at the same time based on my early replies and Gary @techno trying his hardest to do the same lol 😅). I think Season 2 info, which I can't see why we wouldn't get something in the next few weeks given Season 1 finishes around then, should help us see how much content is likely to drop regularly into MP. I'm waiting patiently and also not going to hype it up as we know how previous CoDs have gone. As the talk about this one was supposed to be the only CoD this year is still not guaranteed, I think its okay to sit on the fence until we hear more info about content drops. I'm hoping for one brand new map at least next Season, alongside 2 older maps coming in - considering the Warzone large map clearly has another 2-3 old maps already situated on it. The map rotation isn't getting stale just yet for me though, but it won't be long I'm sure. I'll probably switch to more DMZ at that time.

This won't make me buy a gamepass i'm afraid. No new news on making the port better than what we've seen not long ago.

In my opinion none of them are of the same calibre as the one we have today. I think my criticism to help Chris' point from a negative view (which i never like talking in but hey ho) is that the quality of the CoD games have been very poor, including their content over the past 7-8 years....although BO3 had quality just not much content. It has nothing to do with how many have been sold because thats a different story as you say. Sticking to the OP which is all about content and good content this is what my response was bringing it back to. In isolation, the game hasn't got tons of content, but it has enough for me which in turn is linked to value for money statement. I think we can say we want more content (maps for sure) but what we have so far for 2 months is a pretty damn good game with good content. IMO of course 😘

I fancy sticking my Xbox One on at some point. I'll take a look at the sales for Forza Horizon 4. Seems to hold its value well though atm.

Ah good point. For some reason forgot about that. However, the campaign is always something quite large for people to play and can sometimes be the only content in a game. And it was very good if you asked me, campaigns can be non-realistic at times cos thats what games are for, to see things you only expect in fantasy land, etc. I don't think Pat @cyberninja2601 is defending them though, hes just saying a response to what the OP said regarding content which in his eyes, there is more than what those videos explained. 'Is it enough?' maybe is the right question? I think then you fall back on other stuff that matters to gamers like what is value for money, etc. Do I think this CoD was worth the money? Absolutely. Could it do with more maps and a few extra gamemodes? Absolutely. Its not praising Activision, but we should be able to talk about the positive things when a game has really landed well and say I haven't lost out money wise by buying this game. If it helps from a negative viewpoint if we wanted to talk in that way, I'd say that its very telling that Activision have took nearly 10 years to make one decent CoD game, which isn't great at all really is it.

Absolutely - I knew what it would be too but I'm glad you still posted it! (Remember, it would be boring if we all agreed 😉) As a general rule, it really has been a hit with more casual players than hardcore. Doesn't mean all casual players will like it (yourself included 😄) but thats okay. Majority of the casual core players enjoy it because its more accessible. Now, the way I view stuff is that I try to put myself in other people's shoes. When I do for these youtube guys, I need the game to be killer for me so I can make awesome varied content to my audience and play it non-stop to make money. Many people that are shit at DMZ/Warzone and only play CoD MP in the content game will struggle, but I think thats more down to SBMM. They hate SBMM as do most top players do (I know @jordie1892 would say something about that...) but whats great about it is that casual core players like most of us here don't get slammed every other game due to SBMM. In fact, the daily group up games we've been playing here have really shown that we dominate in many games and then have some tight games where the most fun comes from. I think like most other games (looking at you too Destiny) that if you play on your own on this, its not going to be as enjoyable as others are finding it. BUT, some here are really enjoying their solo experience too, and the fact the 'buzz' feels kind of back abit around FG for a CoD game is probably enough for me to see through the YouTube guys and not get influenced by how they play the game as they don't play it the same way I do or as many of us do here too. I like this discussion. Some good stuff from either side.
