I vaguely remember seeing something that IW's deal with Activision guarantees them as a permanent CoD dev. Though the same article/video also questioned if being moved to working only on remasters and support/dlc for other CoD games would count under the deal.

Mobile CoD is still CoD too... :unsmigghh:

Oh yeah, so apparently IW and Activision did us a solid and released DLC 1 for Infinite Warfare literally three hours before midnight.

That said, go play that new Rave map that has zombies. Take drugs. Be Kevin Smith. Take more drugs. Do the Zombies In Spaceland quest because that carries over to the rave. Take even more drugs. Punch zombies in the face. Take EVEN MORE DRUGS.

The point is, take drugs.

Wouldn't you know it, six hours later, and the main quest is beat for the map. Some people are just dedicated, I guess.

But the steps are... pretty light? I mean, they're just find some pictures and Jason Mewes' possessed skull, plonk it down near a fire, take drugs, shoot body parts, and then go back to Kevin Smith who lives in a cabin just outside the campsite.

Unfortunately, you have to kill Kevin for he turns into the boss of this map. He is also a sorta-puzzle boss. But on the bright side, after you do so, you can input Right, Left, Left, Down, Down, Right at the main menu to get your very own custom Kevin Smith combat rig for one match of Zombies.

Seems more doable than the drills the Seti-Com defenses since there is no RNG-based objectives or things that require the enchanted crossbows, Or spawns that require liberal use of explosives and equipment.

Did IW say if the dlc is going to be integrated into all playlists or not?

On past form, I wouldn't like to bet on it. They kept saying they would every time they released a DLC pack with Ghosts, but then it inevitably wouldn't make the rotation until the successive DLC pack arrived.

We just engaged in the most magnificent sandbagging I've seen in a long time. Cap one dom point first round, let them win 100-50. Multi-cap second round. Pubbies stay, because gg close almost a tie.

We finished a match 200-200, 5/6 players on the other team stayed, all horrendously negative. Next match we were down ~40 points in the second half and came back to win 200-199, all 5 of the players from the first game stayed to the end, all even more horrendously negative.

Our pubthropology studies are paying dividends :science:

I guess it does because they keep doing the same DLC schedule for every COD now. I wouldn't bother buying it on the PC version.

If I had to guess, IW thought it was too powerful for a sub at mid range with the aim assist buffs? It will just beat an NV4 at midrange in raw TTK even when suppressed.

Mauler Mammoth got nerfed yet again with ADS and movement speed increases, but I'm willing to bet Man-at-Arms and Quickdraw still mostly negate those nerfs. More notably, Phase Shift, Rewind and Kinetic Armor all got nerfs. Phase Shift and Rewind deserved the time increases, but boy, Armor doesn't seem that useful anymore.

Hailstorm was right on the edge of being extremely strong, it may be now. Only caveat is the lovely mag size.

I think it's the fastest killing non one shot gun in the game, like 1000rpm one burst, faster than the r3k iirc.

gently caress YOU for the Spectacle buff long after I finished that gd challenge. Conversely, glad I just finished the M1.

Smoothbore strong

Mammoth nerf was inevitable :( Glad I've waited to spend salvage, but dunno if I'll buy it now. Depends on if its a 'yeah that's reasonable so its not a rush-capable 2 shot lmg' nerf or a 'lol gorgon' nerf.

DCM8 might be not garbagy now? Don't care, Reaver still better. Siren looks strong.

Huh? Yeah they did. A bunch of the hilariously mega bad tiled texture garbage was replaced. They're not necessarily exciting, but they did update them. Like the terrible animal ones that were just at tiled picture of some leopard or whatever got replaced with leopard spots style camo etc.

More importantly they made the 'murica camo shiny tinfoil stars and stripes so it owns.
