Amazon still won't let me order the hardon, digital pass, or season pass for the Xbone. Is that part of the exclusivity deal?

Why would you buy digitally from Amazon? Just do it from the console.

I don't see any versions other than the vanilla game for any console when I look on Amazon. But I do see them when I look at other sellers (Game.co.uk) but I don't want to order from them because they have an awful track record when it comes to pre-ordering anything.

edit: Welp, the Juggernog edition was a Game exclusive for the UK and they've sold out already. Looks like I'll never get one of those mini fridges unless I pay a ridiculous amount for the inevitable ebay rush.

I'm one of those weirdo fucktards who likes physical copies. Plus it seems like I got a $10 discount for being Prime.

Call me slowpokin', but after reading (no longer) spoilers, I just had to see the trailer. All I can say is that the amount of "I'm okay with this" is loving massive.

Or why someone asks about cross platform play in every thread for every game, always with the expectation that it IS supported, even though only like 5 games have ever done it.

It's me, I'm the guy with the AW season pass and only the first pack installed, and I've only played 1-2 of those maps.

It's crazy how quick these games can die off, like, I actually had a ton of fun in AW for a while, but I got bored of running around XMGing everyone forever, but as soon as I started trying to use other weapons I just stopped playing.

They make it extraordinarily difficult to play them on release, considering they're confined in their own playlist for months. I still haven't played all the DLC maps because they haven't stopped that idiotic practice yet, even though they promised they would.

Everyone quit this game pretty quick, and I was trying to motivate myself to keep playing. First, I was trying to keep myself interested by getting the 500 kills challenge with each weapon, but as soon as I exhausted everything but sniper rifles, I lost any will to keep doing that. Then I tried to keep myself interested by trying to reach prestige master, until they added a fuckton of more prestiges, and I lost any will to keep doing that. And since the DLC maps were locked away in their separate playlist, I couldn't even stay interested with new maps. I'll probably play zombies a bit more when the final DLC pack comes out, but that's pretty much it for me and AW. If Black Ops 3 is just as good as Black Ops 2, I see myself playing that a lot more.

Unless they announce a fundamental change dealing with map packs splitting the player base, count me out. I'll spend that money on something relatively new, like Battlefront 3 and Titanfall 2.

I feel like COD: ASM1W died so quick because there's basically two guns worth using in the game. I booted it up this weekend and played a little, and that still seems to be true.

You're not wrong. I feel like weapon balance has been an issue in every Call of Duty since MW2; all the guns in each category feel basically the same to shoot, but one has slightly better numbers so it's the only one worth using.

I will probably buy this game anyway because I miss CoD goons and am dumb.

Black Ops 2 had pretty good gun balance. It wasn't perfect, AN-94, M8A1 and MSMC were god tier, but you could pick up basically any gun in the game (except the Executioner or that lovely full auto shotgun) and do well with it. I think BO2's high TTK had a lot to do with this.

The 870 was the best gun, because it was the only one that would work with BLOPS 2's God awfully lovely netcode, that took 8 months to only mostly fix.

The good news is that Treyarch is the one company that adds new map packs to the entire rotation in addition to showcasing it in its own playlist, rather than just have them in one playlist. Hopefully they continue this practice.

The guns should be more like in BLOPS 2, since this game is a sequel. If we're lucky, we'll get the return of all the guns we like and improvements or replacements for the ones we hated.

But there is always that one goon that doesn't have the map... Buying the game not sure about the season pass yet.

If we run into this problem when the DLC comes out, it will at least mean that goons are still playing together two weeks after the game's release.

Man I ran all over people with a silenced M1216 on Raid. Soon as you got into the enemy house there was nothing they could do against you unless they just rushed you with everything they had.

It will have worse netcode, and take a month of patches and hotfixes to get it working 95% of the time.

Man, remember when that Raven dev used to post here back when Ghosts was relevant? It was cool to get a developer perspective on the game that wasn't filtered through the PR machine. I guess we scared him off? :shrug: Anyway, I preordered this game for both consoles for a whole 10 days of beta access. #ShameThePoors (I'll cancel the order when I get the beta code).

Beyond is Finster's mad vision of Earth transformed.
So, last year, I got A&W on PS4, and then refunded it and got it on Xbox One, since a few of my IRL friends were on that, and I thought it would have more people than PS4. Then we all regretted that and my IRL friends dropped off and I got the PS4 version but everyone had dropped out on PS4 by that point.

This year I'm just going to get the PS4 version and stick with that. I think I already have a bunch of you guys on my friends list, so whee. :smithicide:
