Without a season pass Activision will find another way to get their 50 bucks. Loot box guns at launch instead of a few months in?

If that screen shake while moving doesn’t have an off button somewhere then count me out. Game looks like it has potential otherwise tho.

this is a pretty lazy made call of duty. might as well call it black ops greatest hits.

It’s not lazy, it was rushed because Activision demanded a battle royale mode at the last minute. Plus working 80-100 work weeks for months is mentally exhausting.

This will be even more noticeable when BO5 comes out next year.

No, that would be Call of Duty®: Mobile (Early Access)

- Prominent Tencent logo
- 1.4gb download, 3.15gb uncompressed
- Unskippable tutorial
- Unskippable MP TDM battle on Nuketown (pubs have nooo loving clue how to move and do poo poo)
- Minor spelling mistakes e.g. "soilder"
- No ability to invert aiming (yeah yeah)
- Decent default controls, buttons are a little small for my taste
- Look sensitivity too low by default
- Runs decently at default graphics
- Has Nuketown
- The aim assist is absolutely hilariously generous, and damage appears to be based on proximity to target as a balancing feature
- Starting Streaks are Paper Airplane, UAV, Predator
- Predator needs to be steered; you can't tap to target
- Never even bothered looking at the mini map because a.) the screen is too small, and b.) it's Nuketown
- I would play this on the Switch at least a few times.

Device used: US model LG G6 with SD821/Adreno 530 and 4gb ram. 5.7" 18:9 wqhd ips lcd

I've been playing on a (pretty good) LTE connection for a few days instead of my usual cable connection (everything hardwired). I was playing much better than usual. Maybe the key to being good at CoD is a bad connection.

I've been playing it for the last couple days (it soft launched in Australia and Canada, you can use UFO VPN, it has dedicated CoDM servers for free, other VPNs don't seem to work or are blocked) and it's actually not terrible. It needs a bit of work still (particularly with sensitivity), but a lot of the problems I have could be based around the fact that I lag like a motherfucker sometimes cause of the VPN.

Also, most people are TERRIBLE.

Edit: Really, really terrible.

How can you tell with video that low quality?

Also, weird choice to have some annoying youtuber talk over the beginning of every match, but I guess it's to entice the youths.

Grainy YouTube videos won’t do it justice. Infinite Warfare was light years ahead in graphics and optimization compared to BO3 (and even BO4). BO3 and BO4 are so CPU heavy that you can’t use the PS4 OS properly while playing them.

It's seriously amazing that this was never fixed. When the game came out I figured "oh this will be ironed out in a weeK". But here we are a year later and it's still just as bad as launch. I've had a PS4 since day one and I have never seen another game do this and I would think it would be totally unacceptable by Sony's standards, but I guess it's ok for some reason that BLOPS4 renders the PS4 borderline unusable while it's running.

I used to think CoD hadn't improved graphically since AW, but playing it the other day really demonstrates that's not the case. AW is so jagged compared to BlOps 4 and IW. I also played MW3 a few weeks ago and mummy, it's rough looking.

COD games had to run at sub-hd resolutions on 360 and PS3 to stay around 60 fps, at least for MP. This went out the window in other game modes.
