Is there any way to skip cutscenes in campaign?

Don't play campaign? Besides, why would you want to skip any of them? KEVIN SPACEY BALHAGSLASHDSDS

After playing this a fair amount last night, I enjoyed it a hell of a lot more than Ghosts. Also, because I'm bad with money and have poor impulse control, I pre-ordered the PS4 digital edition yesterday instead of waiting for my Xbone version to arrive from Amazon today.

Hopefully tonight I can actually join parties with you guys after I get some homework done. If the PSN party thing still doesn't work, I will probably end up on Xbone, after all.

I gotta say, now that my stuttering/hitching is fixed and the game looks amazing the campaign is actually pretty drat great.

I bought the zero-day digital edition last night and only somehow installed 25% by 6am today.
I got to jump in and see a smidgen of the campaign and I'm stoked as gently caress to jump in tonight. Xbone: R0BERTC0P

Put your console into standby (they call it "turning off") so it does it in the background. should go fast

Although he's an Xboner, DON'T DO THIS if you're on PS4. The standby mode on PS4 is hosed and won't turn back on for a lot of users.

What do you actually need to do to get the Mountain Dew/Dorito stuff? Is it random or Buy X, get Y?

I need to make my character obnoxious as hell. I already have a stupid Anarchy vest.

Enter the codes from stuff at dewanddoritos.com and it will just show up in the game. You have to link your xbone/PS4 account to it. It will give you a "New Items" alert when you start.

It was worth it for the Randy Savage "Doritos" sunglasses alone

Right, but I mean is it like... buy a 12 pack to unlock Dew Pants, or do you choose what you want from your codes?


Edit: I wouldn't actually drink or eat the Dewritos so I'm curious how much money I'd have to waste if I wanted to get this stuff.

Sorry, guy.
I have a serious legit important question that will heavily influence my overall enjoyment in this game. The Supply Drop chests you get. Are they fixed-item? Or is there some semblance of "random number generator" to what you get?

What's the local co-op like for AW? My girlfriend loves CoD games, and I was wondering if it's worth getting an additional controller and the game for this.

If every pc cod since black ops is anything to go by, the playerbase will drop off significantly after a couple of months.

It's pretty simple, the pc community in all probability will be dead in a few months regardless of how good the port is. this is empirical data that we know based on the sales figures for every call of duty ever released. PC gamers, even if they buy it, just don't keep playing cod

But the difference being we still have a ton of choice because we are PC gamers. A few months of solid MP is enough for me, then I have my plethora of other games I can play (steam sales). Its so nice not being hamfisted into a limited number of terrible games. The reason CoD communities stay active on consoles for so long is because its pretty much the only decent FPS MP game that comes out for consoles.

I just told him to get the game - he is on dirty PST time though.

I see Knight log in from time to time. I played some Blops2 with Jack and Yeyo a week or two ago so they are around.

If you turn off everything in the graphics settings with the word "cache" in it the game looks and runs just fine.

So I'm having trouble with aiming and hitting. This is weird to me because I managed to do so more then well in Titanfall, which had a similar gimmick of extreme mobility, and I didn't do too badly in Blops 2, the last of the series I played, but now I'm finding myself missing even the NPCs, frequently getting murdered, let alone in multiplayer. Should I be aiming for low or high sensitivity, and what are some tips for actually... you know, hitting dudes?
