just wrapped up the campaign. its lazer-focused and only has a few gimmicky sections. theres no hunting for intel or anything (as far as i can tell). I really enjoyed it although its very short. I wanna say I completed it in 5ish hours on hardened difficulty. ill definitely be checking out spec-ops.

So the modern warefare subreddit is ablaze with complaints as well. This is something I didnt know but is absolutely insane! - when your character is yelling "contact" or "throwing smoke" or "enemies in the courtyard" ....... the enemies can FUCKING HEAR IT!!!!! you are giving away your own position! that explains so much. how did this get past play testing? I didnt realize it...but in the killcam you can actually hear it happening. another thing is crouching does not silence or quiet your footsteps. its just as loud as running/sprinting. the dead silence perk doesnt actually silence anything - it just muffles it. ive found this perk helps, but ive also gotten merked by someone waiting for me. So not only do you have an insane amount of corner/window camping... you literally have people audio-camping as well. what a mess. They need to fix the TTK - make it almost double. Get rid of these callouts or make it so only you or your team can hear (and only teammates within proximity). Fix the footsteps so they are quieter overall and more spatial. its almost impossible to tell if they are above/below etc. Tier the footsteps noise level: Spring > Running > Walking > Crouching Fix dead silence Nerf the M4 and MP5 - everyone is using these guns bc they are so good IMO - with the way the minimap/spotting is and the incessant amount of corner camping - they need to increase the amount of non lethal frags (smoke, stun). if i need to breach and clear multiple buildings, i should have more than 1 or 2. Last night, I decided to try a few matches again, but disabled crossplay....and the amount of corner/window camping reduced a lot. I was also able to win a few more firefights when it was a situation where we spotted each other at the exact same time. Crossplay is a great feature, but in PVP games like this, there should be an option for console players to chose only crossplay with other consoles. Im actually going to leave it off if I continue to play the MP since my enjoyment level went up a decent amount when it was more of a fair match.

Holy shit. This sums up the game perfectly.

I can’t. I wish I could but I don’t play a ton of different PVP games. Just BF really and I played destiny for a bit. I just need some fast-paced action. This isn’t it sadly.

This is actually spot on. I really hoping this would out-battlefield, battlefield. But it doesn’t. i just want a good BF again. Plz Dice.

so ground war released last night. And it’s just a terrible take on BF. In a complete reverse of the other modes, you can’t even hear footsteps at all. This mode is literally people camping in doorways and rooftop or prone in shadows and just waiting for someone to run by. there is zero way to play aggressive in this game with the TTK as fast as it is and the camping. and I can’t figure out the sniping at all. I know there is bullet drop, but it doesn’t make sense bc I have several people dead to rights with a headshot and it didn’t even register as a body shot. Then I get insta killed by the dude using an M4 and iron sights from over 150m seriously this is trash. I’m happy to hear the campaign is decent. I’ll play through that and be done with this.

So the large scale BF-ish mode isn’t available yet? I can’t find it anywhere and bought it just to play that mode. I did play a bunch of games via quick play. I just don’t understand the love for this MP. I think I play every COD and say the same thing, but I still do it. It’s so campy. It literally comes down to who saw who first bc the guns all have good range and very low recoil. And the absolutely ridiculous TTK makes it just a quick tap and it’s over. Doesn’t even really give the other player a chance to react. IMO it completely lowers the skill ceiling bc there are no gunfights. Because of that, the games devolve into people camping in a corner listening for footsteps. Then add the gimmicky kill streak perks and now you’re getting spotted or killed by things you can even really deal with. Little maps, no descruction, no vehicles. I dunno. I’ll take Buggy as fuck BFV over this anyway. however, it is beautiful and the Progression and gun upgrade/mod mechanic alone will keep me playing. They did nail that. Overall though, my biggest takeaway is that I hope DICE learns from this and goes back to a modern setting a la BF4. Or just give me a remastered BF4 and I’ll be happy. I plan to fire up the campaign over the weekend.

Lame. Wonder why that is. I just finished astral chain and jumped right on my x1x to fire it up.

Tried to fire it up on x1x and it says I have to wait a bit longer. I thought it unlocked at 7est?

im ok with this. 6 weeks between cyberpunk at LOTUII is fine.

this is currently the best deal - 24mo of XBL for $95. then covert to Ulitmate for $1. So you get 24mo of Ultimate for roughly $100. Only catch is if you converted to Ultimate already, this wont work.

nevermind- i see - buy 3 get 3 free. then use the code to get $10 off

ill be at monday night raw on 11/4. my first WWE event ever. im not really a fan by my son loves it, so im excited.

i was never a huge fan of COD MP. always found it boring. I much prefer Battlefield, which is why that new mode has my interest.

never a good sign...but it could be due to the controversy of the campaign. they probably dont want the negative press and pre-order cancellations

where are the reviews? curious how good the campaign is.

I have it pre-ordered just bc i was able to get it in before my GCU membership expired...but im kinda in agreement. at the very least, im going to sit on it sealed for at least a week before i play it just to watch some videos and get player reviews.

imagine after a terrible launch, drastic player dropoff...you moderately turn the game around...and then decide that $100/yr is a fair price for features that players have been asking for from day one and are readily available as standard features in other games. im not sure if im impressed with the size of their balls or just completely and outright offended at their audacity.

Nintendo’s pre-order bonus on the eshop is 600 coins. and I agree. This should’ve come out a week before at least.

I actually have a PC. It’s a little outdated but still solid - 980ti, i7-4770k, SSD, etc. the reason why I went back to console is bc my PC is in my office in the basement. When I gamed down there I was completely isolated from my family. It was like i didn’t exist. Lol. My kids and wife weren’t happy. So I got the X1X and play on my couch and everyone is hanging and doing their thing. Works out well. ill eventually build a new PC again and it will be a miniITX HTPC form factor so I can stick it in my entertainment center. Not sure how much PVP I’ll do tho since I’ll probably need to play with a controller.

@Zaku3 @Brick you guys grabbing COD? that is at least cross-play. not sure i can be competitive using a controller against PC players, but i would pick it up if i knew i have a crew to roll with. wasnt thrilled with the beta at all. but i didnt get to try the BF-like game mode. that actually looks pretty fun.

ah too bad.

What system do you guys play on?

I didn’t realize anyone here at D1P gave a shit about this game anymore but me. I still play pretty often. I’d rather play BF1 but it’s becoming harder and harder to find full matches. The new operation metro map is a lot of fun but the other newer maps are garbage. I really hope the pacific delivers.

it’s out October 31st.
