So do we know if MWR is going to have additional challenges and stuff in the vein of Blops 3? I loved CoD4 but if there was one thing it was lacking, it was actual progression stuff outside of just prestige and weapon camos.

Yeah there looks to be a ton when I looked over the calling cards. They gave it the whole new-calling card and emblem treatment.

I've officially justified my pre-order of this by using the "$60 for MWR and $8 for IW" logic (Amazon has operations in Ohio, so I get charged tax :argh:). I honestly feel like MWR is going to be worth $60. Jury is still out on that extra $8. But good news! I'll be that goon this round that isn't buying the map packs.

I'll probably only play the iw campaign. I've played the mp for mw remastered yesterday and it was amazing.
I hope they'll restore access to the mp again today.

SAME. I bought the season pass for Blops 3. What a loving mistake. Was there a single good map in the entire pallet of DLC maps? All it did was make matchmaking more difficult. And more maps that needed to be vetoed.

Regardless, I'm really excited to hear they added more challenge stuff for MWR. I hope they added new camos too... I mean Red Tiger is cool and all but the world of internet weapon camos has evolved considerably since those days :jerkbag:

Funny thing is, DLC 4's map actually made people question Zombies. Probably just the story thing, probably the whole "stapled literally every other map to the map" schtick, probably even a lack of innovation across the whole map compared to the other maps.

One reason to at least consider IWZombies since they're trying new poo poo at least.

What were the players like you went up against in MWR? I'm interested because it's a fairly weird self selecting group (with the seperate more expensive bundle and all). Curious to see if it is the sweatiest of lands or more old folks nostalgia based.

blops 2 zombies was fun and doable solo. Blops 3 zombies has been loving impossible to play for me, you need to know really loving obtuse secrets (even more than before) to get the good stuff now. I could just be real loving bad at it though and it's actually really good.

I agree. Gorod Krovi, despite the good in it, still requires some work to unlock the PaP.

Shout outs to TranZit and Origins The former was not good to do Solo, while the latter was more "defend this point Ramirez".

Citadel was my favourite map for any Call of Duty and made me realise how much I'd appreciate a Cauldron of Duty: Wizards at War break from the military grind.

Seeing how popular the melee weapons were and the fact that there's the Ripper, Sparrow and, arguably, the Gravity Spikes, I think Cauldron of Duty would be a viable niche game mode/spin-off. Maybe you can even do a gag game mode where one player has "modern" weaponry and everyone else has to try and kill them with medieval weapons. Whoever makes the kill gets to be the future soldier.

Seemed sweaty to me. Almosr everyone was using a M40 and quickscoping with it.

But there were only a small handful of people playing and they were the people who were the most desperate to play. So i guess that's expected.

Will hopefully be better at release. Otherwise i have wasted $130 Australian Earth Dollars.

The more I see of Infinite Warfare the more excited I am for it.

Blops 3 was the first modern CoD game I ever really played and Infinite Warfare looks similar but slower paced, which is something I believe I'll enjoy.

Everybody's bitching about the future aesthetic, but if they go back to the past, they'll lose a bunch of narrative justification for allowing people to do interesting things.

The solution: magic. Just do wizard CoD, EA will never set it coming.

Hello friends, I haven't played a 'cool new-release FPS' for a while now, and like gently caress am I ever giving EA money again, so I ordered IW. I haven't played a CoD game since MW.

I like Titfall 2 quite a bit but the population on Xbone already seems to be dropping.

When I was playing last night more people were playing Battlefield 4 and Borderlands 2 for gently caress sakes.

Hi, I'm a garbage human being that has TF2 on all 3 systems, player count from what I saw was:

Xbox: 40K
PS4: 25K
PC: 5K

Yeah numbers aren't great especially compared to a COD release weekend, but game is 20 times more fun than IW or the last few CODs.

Releasing between the two biggest shooters was not the greatest idea.
