Don't think I'll get a chance to play anymore but I think I'm going to really enjoy this game. All I need to wait / read up more on is the benefits of prestiging, if there's going to be a buy more loadout tabs option (that carry over through prestige and just locks loadouts you haven't unlocked please god do this), and just how stingy they're going to be with keys / crafting.

Also a one time unlock everything purchase for anywhere between $20-30 and I would buy it without thinking about it. I'd still need to prestige to unlock the classic weapons but I would really love to just pay to skip the grind and just worry about having fun.

Witness as I do almost a complete 180 on this. Whatever they did to fix that lag compensation bullshit made this playable. Now that I'm not dying instantly I'm liking it more.

Behold as I once again as I complete the turn and find myself once again in the "first beta weekend" and "Friday afternoon" situation where the loving stupid lag compensation is getting me killed repeatedly before I even see someone on my screen. I ended up deleting this hot garbage. Let me know how the tire fire turns out for you all when this piece of poo poo hits proper release. I'll play blops with you in the meantime, but man...this was just a bad beta all around. gently caress Infinite Warfare.

Don't get me wrong. It's still bland (I'm adjusting to it), has terrible fonts (I can get past this), and the sniper rifles are still loving ridiculous. That said, I think with some more balancing they'll get it all sorted out. The lag compensation is what was making it utterly unplayable for me.

The existence of weapon variants are enough to make this a skip year (unless MWR comes separately or Legacy Edition goes on a big sale). At least AW variants had stat reductions in addition to the stat boosts, but this is just full of bullshit advantages. Scrap comes so slow that the crafting might as well not exist, it's all pay to win.

I quit Black Ops 3 shortly after the supply drop guns came out.

The daily login bonus could help alleviate this. Then again that's assuming they balance the game for you to be able to craft an orange gun (and everything before it) in a reasonable amount of time. Like I think 1-2 weeks of playing to fully craft all the variables of one weapon sounds fair. And that's assuming you don't get any of the 3 variants from boxes which should cut into the grind. And if they do bribe package or any special offers to the best variants you'll save even more.

Weapon variants carry through prestiges, right?

we all know that it's going to require the same amount of gameplay that we are all currently used to. No more, no less. and next year, we wipe the slate clean, bitch about the beta, after a full year of bitching about the game, lovely lag, lovely drop rates, pay to win, and retarded DLC's.. Rinse, Lather, Sweat, Wipe, Repeat

Modern Warfare Remastered will make it so that there is no need to buy a new COD game any more. If they won't sell it separately, I'm sure it'll get a PSN sale down to at least $60 so you can pretend you're buying MWR and getting some lovely space game as a bonus.

I'm pretty sure I remember some Black Ops 3 editions getting a 25% off sale on Christmas time already, so it shouldn't take long.

Game is playable now so grats on whatever they did. Erad is still bonkers. Snipers even more bonkers. Suppressors poo poo on damage output. Still probably not enough to make me play it over overwatch.

I wouldn't mind the cosmetic RNG if it didn't constantly give me duplicates of things that don't even make my characters look different, or of voice lines that go unused because they add nothing whatsoever to the experience.

Game's fun enough though.

I will be honest, I popped on Overwatch and wound up realizing that I might like Ana's kit because her sniper sorta reminds me of the Intervention somehow. Also helps that said rifle is constantly accurate regardless of scope.

Netcode is straight garbage every other game. What a loving joke.

When it works, hey, it's an okay game. It's no BLOPS 3, or even AW, but it's a solid "better than Ghosts" by Activision's D-Team.
Baby steps, for :iw: I guess.

Everything involving the UI or usability whether in-game or in the menus is still a tire fire though.

I apparently edited an old post last night instead of replying, but I agree. The visuals and UI I can definitely get past, but the netcode was super inconsistent yesterday after playing a couple hours. I would feel there were straight up good gun fights and a lot of back and forth, then out of nowhere there'd be a game where it went back to the pre-patch lag comp bullshit. It was enough for me to delete the beta. I mean, I know it was the last day of it and all, but I was still pissed.

Hopefully it sells terribly after this and they break out modern warfare remastered sooner than later.
