They'll lower native res to 480p if they have to, but they always target 50-60 fps; come Hell or high water.

This isn't Bungie/343 we're talking about here.

I bought the vanilla digital, and I still have the option of upgrading until March 25th- by which point, we should know if it's worth getting.

Oh gently caress, that makes sense, thanks for the tip.

Oh poo poo, I have less than a week to decide if I need to get this stupid game. Is it going to be as stupid and dumb as whatever the one that was out a year ago that was stupid and dumb?

Yes. Buy it anyways.

Also has anyone spoiled the campaign yet? Does Kevin Spacey use an exo suit and/or go shirtless?

It's like you know me.

The only thing I even remember about Ghosts multiplayer was how lovely the lag/hit detection felt. Seemed like I could shoot a man forever and it wouldn't register poo poo. If it's still that bad I will swear off CoD forver.

edit: at. I will swear at CoD forever.

You literally have as much time as you want to decide. You don't HAVE to get it at launch.

The problem with COD is it's such a precise experience the gently caress ups in map design/balance/netcode/spawning in the games after MW2 suck all the fun out of them.

And here we are gambling on another sequel :smith:

Well, this time around things are DIFFERENT. A new developer, a longer dev cycle, truly next-gen, etc. etc. etc.

So, when it turns out awful, we're going to be even MORE jaded when the next Treyarch title comes out next year (which we will all pre-order because).

Wait two week to find out from everyone that it is, in fact, poo poo.

That's my plan. I'm getting so tired of developers releasing broken games and hoping they address it with patches further down the line. That poo poo has to stop, and I'm done pre-ordering, especially COD games, until it does.

Just throwing this out there, if anyone on PC wants to party up and take down pubs hop onto the Reticulated Splines mumble on release. We should be rolling faces in there, I know a bunch of us are already getting the game.

black ops 2 and ghosts are still $60 on steam :smug: There are no cod games on gmg either. It's a shame because when I had my 360, I just bought or borrowed used copies, which means in this pretty much unique case, these games are more expensive on pc. it just feels wrong to spend $60 for this on pc when it's probably not even going to work.

You're only apart of the cool kids club if you buy it off Craigslist for $200-300 a couple of days before launch.

Well the DLC packs are already named in the season pass trailer. First one in January (for Xbox).

DLC guns are a thing, and season pass holders get them sooner, like the Maverick and Ripper in Ghosts.

900p's close enough that I wouldn't be able to tell the difference anyway though. The Xbone version of Ghosts got framey ADSing with the rifles, hopefully that's gone too.

You wouldn't mind if i poured out 25% of your beer would you?

The difference between 900p and 1080p is 500,000 pixels. 1080p has roughly 30% more pixels. I can tell the difference on a 12' laptop screen.

If you're one of the few people who don't have a widescreen TV/monitor yet, I completely agree.
Upgrading from 4:3 to 16:9 was the best thing I ever did, besides taking things slower, and not just running & gunning.
