This is heartening as perhaps it means they're gonna change things up this time

I can't imagine this is anything more than market feedback analysis telling Activision there is a gap in the WWII game market combined with some changes Sledgehammer got through focus testing.

A 48 player winner's circle where I can just spam dance moves sounds incredibly appealing to my interests.

Perhaps first person shooters don't truly match your interests. Can I suggest dance dance revolution as an alternative?

They confirmed that there is no regenerating health and CoD1 style health packs are back, which is the first bit of news that makes me interested.

Well, now we know where all the high fire zones and campers will be.

I guess that's one way to deal with UAVs not existing back then...

No regenerating health and health packs will at least get me to rent this game for the Campaign. No regenerating health in multiplayer is going to be pretty ballsy if that mode also has it.

In IW stuff, Mayhem is both good and bad. Good because you have a better version of Persistence in addition to your rig. Bad because the enemy team does too.

All those THORs, all those R-C8s... hell, I stuck with my low-effort Blops 3 streak setup of UAV -> Care Package -> CUAV. Whatever I got in the box went right onto the field since Engineer isn't supposed to reroll :argh:'

But yeah, if you do play Mayhem on IW, just brace for impact.

Like, they brought back "Season Pass Holders get the weapons immediately". You SHOULD have them already unlocked.

Unless you mean the Epic Variant.

God dammit, Scorestreak Variants are in in IW. Like, yeah, it got leaked. But now they're in in.

At least Epics only cost ya 900 Salvage total assuming no boxes.

I got the Rare/Legendary Care Package variants. One activates rerolls, the other is lower cost and explodes if someone uses it.

Just adding reasons to why this game is better than BLOPS3. Thanks for IW, IW.

Now if you could just fix the tiny little barely noticeable game crippling holy-poo poo-how-is-this-happening-in-2017 this would be the best shooter.

If you have 900 Salvage and can reliably get 14-17 kills in TDM, you can call in a Warden that drops three Care Packages. Which might also contain Wardens.

Also the Rare Care Package Variant cannot be accessed by you or teammates. There is a symbol that tells you it is a bomb.

I got two Double Kills with it in Mayhem.
