Saw them at Wembley last year and they pretty much played that first album all the way. Finished with ‘I am the resurrection’, was awesome

Thing I forgot to mention , for challenge whores like me Occupation and Anthropoid bring a shit load of new destructibles for one of the precision challanges. Gone from having a grand total of 3 in the initial maps, to having about 10 on each of those 2.

I don't think they are yet, might just be mosh pit for week 1 Thoughts on new maps: Good to have a couple of big maps, Occupation is welcome back. Anthropoid I think will grow on me but lack of map knowledge hurts. The other one seemed pretty small, the Dom flags are right next to each other, was crazy hectic New war map seems ok to me, defenders have the upper hand at the moment I guess until people work out attack strategies.I got a fury kill with the tank so was pretty happy about that.

It’s a pretty good line up , got Midge Ure, the girl from Bow Wow Wow. The Blockheads. And the Black Lace Conga Party😀

Actually going to see this guy at an 80s festival in summer. Hopefully, had tickets to see him years ago at something similar and he dropped out due to mental health issues. Replaced by Go West, who are no way a replacement.

Yes I was pretty encouraged by the changes in TWAB, worth reading. Wasn't sure about a couple of bits ( ability to buy raid gear!) but overall a step forward and the IB changes actually might get me to put the disc in again

Just watched trailer, accordion looks like it is part of one of the Resistance division uniforms

S i didn't see the trailer (why waste time when me buying was a foregone conclusion) but maybe it is a prop in prop hunt?

Y It shows up if you have Requistions equipped on one of your classes, otherwise it doesn't. Actually less than double ( UAv is only 50% more, but some are closer to double, paratroopers for example.Artillery is 1425 instead of 850).

On the score streak selection page it tells you the normal cost and the requisitions cost. It's around double from memory

It was a real wierd night last night, PSN sort of broke but not quite, strange

Its not out until next week (that karate kicking 'my accuracy in a nutshell footer you have' has never been more appropriate 😄) What is out is the resistance event, with a new division and 4 more weapons. 5 weeks of stuff going on and everyone can get hold of the weapons even if they don't buy the DLC. Pretty good thing they do here Sledgehammer to keep the game fresh

Demolition was a core game mode for many years of CoD, it was always one of my favourite modes and I'll be playing the hell out of it😄

This is is nearly exactly true but don't forget your opponent being really bloody lucky plays a part too.

I missed that but it's stuff like that which puts referees against them as they don't want to be mugged. im not sure how the video referee thing works though, plenty of times the referee seemed to think, well I could review or I could send the fucker in blue off. Screw it, red card.

To be fair two of the ‘dives’ I saw in extra time looked like stonewall penalties to me. its not often I see anyone who hates Chelsea more than me but that referee did! Good job 👍

I posted elsewhere that Bungie have developed this habit of screwing up everything they bring to the game, and here they go again

Not sure if anyone is still playing D2 but I keep a watch in the official forums just in case ...... Well the latest instalment of the car crash is that Faction Rallies are live this week but Bungie have added a throttle to stop people looting lost sectors for faction tokens, now limited to two chests every ten minutes. Their forum is ablaze with people raging about this, I totally agree , speed running lost sectors was actually fun, now no point.

James have it your way I give up, I will just keep enjoying the hell out of this thoroughly shit CoD that works pretty damn perfectly for me Oh and by the way the 60s was like 20 years after WW2, we had developed like loads of shit between then and the end of the War. Like helicopters and space rockets, cool kinda kill streak stuff. My actual guess is you are suffering CoD fatigue and probably need to move onto another game, I had this after BO2 and hated them all except BO3. Coming back to the franchise now has reminded why it was they only game I bought from about 2010 to 2015, it is awesome.

James thats an awfully long list, which makes it a bit hard to reply to but I will do my best Connections , you told me to stop going on about connections, then first point in your list is connections. I think of this as lag, I maybe wrong, but every MP will have lag. Unavoidable. Loads fine for me, maybe there are issues on Xbox, but seeing as I hate Microsoft with a passion I see that as a good thing. Buy Sony, don't support the evil empire Animation glitches, I don't think this has ever happened to me, really can't think of an example, maybe I am just too foregiving and unobservant but I haven't seen this. If this is all the glitches then please can we stop saying this is a glitchy CoD. HQ, like I said earlier people post ' ww2 is shit' and then cite HQ as one of the reasons, no effect on game play, just a social space, and actually stuff to do. Actually a positive. Game runs fine with it. Team balance, very occassiionaly you get 6v4 but potentially due to party composition which you can't see ( actually I would like to see this). Back out, problem solved. Can no way be considered game breaking Netcode, tbh not qualified to comment, but in my opinion game runs fine. It's CoD, it's 12 years old and nobody has changed much. Buyer beware! 9 maps is skinny but like I said above, they put War in as well with three big maps, so a lot of development went there. Probably accounts for 4 to 5 maps. Most people seem to like war, a lot. Not realistic to expect war plus 15 maps perhaps? It's obvious there is a trade off in this area, but the critics don't seem to be able to connect these dots. dom points system. If it's taking you 10 kills to get a UAV get your ass on B. Seriously this change penalises those scrubs who run round the edge of the map shooting people who are actually playing the objective. Very positive change in my opinion. no anti cheat on PC, I can't comment, to me CoD is a console game and I suspect any pc player should be a bit wary of any console port, look at the shambles of D2 launch on pc for example Restrictive load out, I actually don't find it that restrictive, and don't have a problem with a developer experimenting in an old franchise league play I haven't tried killstreaks , I have heard this before and don't really get it, it's WW2 remember, no attack helicopters, no jump jets, what actually would you want in Pistol grips, really. A cosmetic item that appears in loot boxes to pad them out. How this makes a list of issues with WW2 is totally beyond me. No impact on game play, no reason to hate. This game must be running totally differently on pc than it is on PS4, in which case we will never agree, but stuff like pistols grips, hq, loadout, killstreaks, Dom points, number of maps v war mode, are just design decisions that some people will like and some people won't like, and the majority will just get on with it.

I disagree on the potato thing Gary ( how weird does that sound). I’ll give you an example, I like Gustav on TDM , and fucking hate it on Hardpoint Also some maps are pretty good, Point du hoc, Gibraltar , Ardennes forest , but maps are a very personal opinion , 9 is a bit few I agree, but would you give up War mode for 4 more maps. I probably would but most people wouldn’t and that’s probably the decision sledgehammer made.

I didn't say play different modes if you think the maps suck, I said play different modes if your bored of playing only 9 maps, it mixes it up a bit.

James of course my opinion is based on how it works for me, you are the one who seem to have a handle on how it is working for the rest of the planet. If if it's not connection that is the problem what are the other issues then? I posted a list aboive of the non issues that people whine about . We have had two threads recently of Ww2 is shit, ww2 is terrible, with whiny you tubers whinging about the game, and they come up with total non issues like The UI is bad ( get used to it, it fine) HQ is like the tower in Destiny ( actually is way much better with loads of stuff to do) theres only 9 maps ( yep, loads of dev time went into war mode which most people seem to think is a good addition. personally I don't but I'm not entitled enough too think they should make the game just exactly the way I like it) , but that is why there is only 9 maps You talk about glitches, the only one I know is point du hoc ( fixed), so tell me what else is glitched What else don't you like about the game? Really I'm interested cos I think they've done a pretty bloody good job, as I said earliier I' honestly don't understand the hate people give it. Dig deeper and just get statements like ' oh there's lots of well known issues' , well I don't know them😄

So much of this is personal preference... I thought BO2 was the best CoD, other people hate it WW2 is definitely better than Ghosts, AW, IW.

BO launch on PS3 was a total shambles, WW2 had some issues on the first weekend but other than that the ability to actually get into a match has been 100% fine. They are just incomparable. I can't believe you said everyone should have the same experience no matter where they are in the world, this comes down to everyone having exactly equal internet infrastructure. It's just not going to happen, even if super fast is available people might not have it. You can't really blame Sledgehammer for that! i had plenty of lag deaths in R6, maybe less noticeable as TTK seemed faster, but lag is always there.
