apparently BO3 sales on steam jumped way up when mod/map tools were announced

if Treyarch doesn't deliver, people will be furious and claim they won't buy CoD ever again

It'll probably die on PC long before March, when they said it'll probably hit alpha.

I'll still get a few good months of super easy games, though. That's the point of CoD on PC

I mean that's basically it.

Although I didn't buy AW, so maybe they just need to keep adding more zany movement features and gambling weapon packs until I really do stop buying it.

Please atvi, if you're listening, encourage your CoD slaves to add antigravity boots and more tf2 loot crates so I can purge my unhealthy desire to shoot guys with guns.

The hardest difficulty effectively gives you only 1 health or something like that, so 1 bullet will kill you. No idea if the game is otherwise tweaked (e.g. if enemy grunts also go down in 1 shot or not).

I preordered to get into beta and then promptly forgot I ordered it. When this thread gets posts then I remember again that I preordered it and think about whether I want to cancel it or not. Then after 3 minutes I forget I preordered it. Some kind of weird CoDfish memory :haw:

Sony just charged me for my preorder from my PSN wallet or whatever. Does that mean preloading is starting? I haven't had a chance to turn my PS4 on today to check.

Like last years COD, I'm buying this purely for splitscreen. Halo 5 would have got my money instead, but they decided no splitscreen whatsoever would be a great decision for a Halo game of all things. It's refreshing to see that BLOPS 3 actually improves last years splitscreen offerings - it's available for the campaign, zombies and online multiplayer from what I've read? They'll get my money every year if they continue to support it.

They are even supporting it on PC, including setups like allowing 2 monitors where each monitor is a full res copy of the game for each player. :pcgaming:

Is this game going to be bad like BO2 (in which case I'll pre-order) or terrible like AW (in which case I won't). The movement system is scaring me.

The movement system was fine, you don't have to run on walls if you don't want to and you can shoot people off of them or stick C4 there for added fun.

Treyarch's PC ports were always pretty good. Its IW and Sledgehammer who do a lovely job with PC.

I can't decide if my favorite part of the narrative was 'GHOSTS TTK IS TOO FAST' :byodood: (many of the weapons were literally identical to bo2 weapon profiles, in some cases weaker, just the netcode wasn't flaming dogshit so your shots registered)

Or the fact that people wanted slower ttk for BO3, when once upon a time many years ago, people would go 'JUGGERNAUT IS GARBAGE gently caress PAINKILLER I ONLY WANT STOPPING POWER' :byodood:

Then again I think a lot of the bad maps in Ghosts bothered me a lot less than most people since I vastly prefer sprawling mixed maps over the MLG three lane bullshit 3arc prefers.

I hope the netcode is good this time around, it felt okish in the beta :ohdear: Going from the dogshit p2p in Destiny to the glassy smoothness in Halo was quite a transition.

Guns felt good in the beta and the jetpacking/wallrunning/powersliding nonsense didn't bug me nearly as much as the jumping beans in AW, that's the main thing.

It felt weird skipping CoD for a year, it was a holiday tradition to crush noobs and chain back to back super streaks, I missed that. No other game lets you poo poo on terrible players quite like CoD.

If it makes you feel better everyone missed it due to the LS hacking of both XBL and PSN. poo poo didn't come up for like 3 days. Shooting children in the face and hearing them scream over the mic is the best Christmas tradition.

Supposedly IW fixed a long standing bug with the COD engine where the hit detection doesn't register every shot properly (like shooting a guy in the head with a sniper rifle and getting a hitmarker).

This makes the most sense, it's amazing how often that kind of poo poo stays around in engines. A co-worker of mien is working on a game right now with an engine that is very old, and there are bugs in it that have been present since the first PS1 version of the engine, but never fixed.

Ghosts sucked on PC because of how terribly it ran on just about any machine. Having a stupid as all hell challenges system didn't help either.

I couldn't enjoy BO2 at all because of the unforgiveably lovely netcode. Worst CoD game.

Ghosts was also 100% free of Skrillex AND Avenged Sevenfold as far as I know.

Pretty cool that a shooting game can re-use the same lovely engine every year and then on like the 11th installment get around to fixing a hit detection bug.
