the description for Dual Magazine implies that you lose whatever bullets were left in a magazine when you reload.

I saw a tip on one of the loading screens that mentioned when you "speed reload" you lose any leftover bullets in your magazine. My guess is that speed reloading is the official phrase for reload canceling. So with dual mags, you can reload cancel without losing ammo because the mags are taped together.

It's gonna be a pain to break that habit.

I noticed that description when I first saw it. I watched a video to see what happens when someone reloads when the magazine isn't empty, and it appears that you do not lose bullets left in a magazine. Unless I've confused something, the guy in that video does not have Dual Mags, has 16 bullets left in his magazine with 80 in reserve, reloads, and ends up with 40 bullets in his magazine with 56 in reserve.

So at least it doesn't happen every time. It may be the reload cancel thing mentioned above.

Some Hardpoint gameplay from Tmartn's channel. The TTK doesn't look to bad in actual play.

Yeah, I don't think they mentioned it. So at this point the whole "9v9 standard" thing is still rumor. That'd definitely be interesting though. If that's standard, what would GW be? 12v12?

Also, can someone refresh me on what the War gamemode was? I never played WaW.

War was like a single Dom point that would move towards the Enemy base once captured and once you cap the point at the enemy base you win. I think there were a total of 5 cap points. It was actually pretty fun considering how lovely WaW or Treyarch games are. :jiggled:

All I know is that the fun I had playing Ghosts for a few months this past winter was well worth the $60 and with the potential insanity of jump jets and blops2 similarities I'm definitely looking forward to AW.

Hopefully I'll have people to play with :/

I thought this could be the game that brought me back to CoD (abandoned after MW2) but nothing looked very appealing.

I finally had time to sit down and watch the videos and it does look neat. One complaint is that the border markers for hardpoints are just a glowing line on the floor that doesn't stand out that well. The big floating chevrons in Black Ops 2 were more visually satisfying when you managed to dive behind one and score.

I was annoyed at Danger Close at first, but it might actually be balanced in a game where you can jump and dash away from explosives.

Also I wish we could get 60 fps footage of these games. With YouTube compression I may as well be watching the 360 port

Yeah, I think that's pretty much the reason. Pretty much everybody's gonna dash and/or double jump away the instant they see a grenade indicator.

Haven't seen any mention on how dash is activated from any of the videos I've watched. I assume it's the sprint button while holding left or right?

I read that somewhere, yeah. You click the movement stick in the direction you wanna dash. If you just click forward you start sprinting like normal. Not sure if there's any kind of forward dash while you're still on the ground, but you can dash forward if you're mid-air.

Getting this on an Xbone because we all know how much we take advantage of that early month of DLC.

Also I still prefer the Xbox One controller over the PS4 controller. The sticks still feel a little loose for FPS games. Overall I'm pretty happy with the Xbone, the interface was a complete poo poo show at launch, but they've really cleaned up the friend interface and the party system actually works now.

I haven't made up my mind yet on which console I'm going to upgrade to but currently the only think the bone has going for it is all my cod bros buying this game for it. Which may be weighted enough to tip the scale against the ps4.

I'm justifying it this way.

Xbone is my cod system with all my cod friends and is also gonna be used mostly for shooters. I do want a ps4 for everything that isn't a shooter though.

That's the boat I'm in (sigh). The only two Xbone games I have are Ghosts and Titanfall for playing with CoD goons (neither of which has gotten much use), while I have ten games for PS4. I wish the PS4 were the CoD goon console of choice, but it doesn't appear so.

Has there been any word on resolution and framerate on either console?

Gung Ho looks like an interesting new perk. Anything to buff SMG's! Although it will be a lot of fun with shotguns, I hope there is a proper marathon in the game.

Also, little upset that they've gone back to a system that encourages you to only run a gun + perks. The CoDs are more interesting when people have lethals and tacticals.
