It's really stupid and I hope COD patches this to toggle in the game.

You have to close the game. Go to Settings>Save Data and Game/App Settings>Game Presets>Performance Mode Or Resolution Mode>Change from Automatic to Performance.

Then when you go back into COD, it will be running in Performance at 120hz.

Thanks!

And that is really stupid way of doing it.

I just started it and hard agree.

I mean I knew I was basically getting "Michael Bay: FPS" with the campaign but it's laughably bad how many basic things they somehow manage to gently caress up.

So Reagan is telling his counter-terrorism squad to start going after terrorists for the Iranian hostage crisis eight days before he's officially sworn in? I mean you could be charitable and say the writers knew what they were doing but lol if you buy that after years of terrible writing. Also treating the Iranian revolution as "Well it was just terrorism!" is stupid as gently caress


The gameplay is fun though!

It’s 2020 you can’t argue a COD campaign is unrealistic or silly after the last 7-8 months. Reality is more unrealistic then a COD campaign at this point.

That said the gameplay and mission construction is excellent, very little fat, and honestly it really is just a Golan Globus Canon action film (which may explain why I’m more forgiving since I love those movies). lol

I can call it silly, but I can also recognize big stupid fun when I see it and this game is big stupid fun.

Also the 80's synthwave music in this game is totally my jam and I love it.

:same:

Jack Wall was a perfect fit for the game (I know he’s been used before), but funny enough Jade empire and mass effect really worked as a great groundwork for Wall’s score for this game.

Also :lol: at the poor bastard who plays this game ripped/high and expects a standard mil game. Oh man are they in for a trip.

I guess I’m just happy that Treyarch and Raven put in the time to do something different than the standard COD campaign (which honestly is something that’s been evident since world at war).

Hit the options button when looking at the icon on the PS5 dash and scroll down to the “game version” option that pops up in that menu

I looked it up and its a wide spread issue where when you try to download the PS5 version, the button says that the download is queued, but there is no download. Only option is a full factory reset or to wait for a patch which considering how common the issue is, shouldn't be too far off.

that dude.

Starting sniper rifle is lol levels of broken with any attachments, the hipfire one makes you accurate from about 20 ft more consistently then intended I hope. Absolute blast but can imagine everyone will be using that tomorrow


Also shotguns are apparently the sign of tryhard, or so the deathmic screeches told us tonight.

Never say never, buddy.
Now you know.
Now we all know.
BVA's thoughts after 4 hours or so today, unscripted stream of consciousness:

-It takes so much time between unlocking weapon attachments; while a ton of stuff in MW was absolutely just "filler", there's this huge feeling of grind that I don't miss from earlier CoDs

-I keep having bullets not go past little pieces of the map/scenery or whatever - this is most noticeable during tense SNIPER DUELS but it's so disheartening to have a bullet just...stop...on a desk edge or something when it's not on my scope

-I think it's because MW was so good/it was still so popular still to today, having such little amount of content/maps/whatever is really painful

-No Tactical Sprint makes me feel sooooo slow

-Having bullet drop and poo poo in MP is less fun, save that for warzone plz

-MW was/is better I think but I hope to give this a fair try

-I have gotten no less than 5 compliments on my full Doritos attire

My biggest issue is with the netcode/servers/feeling like getting hit by 6 bullets at once. It's fun and the maps that are in the game are pretty fun - certainly better than the launch MW maps by a mile - but it needs more content and the weapon attachments unlock at a glacial pace.

I like the effort that went into the weapons in MW but these are also pretty satisfying to use. It's cool to have a useable burst weapon. Hopefully the m16 doesn't get nerfed into the ground. AK seems really good.

The first BLOPS had a much smarter campaign in comparison. It was still ridiculous, but everything mostly came together and formed something resembling a story.

The public really didnt give infinite warfare enough credit for its fantastic campaign because gamerz didn't like the online shootmans portion for reasons

Infinite Warfare is criminally underrated and a lot of ideas in this Blops comes from this.

Also first Blops had Gary Oldman to help push it along, on the bright side Mason doesn’t appear to be voiced by Sam Worthington anymore so that’s a plus.

This is probably the worst game in existence for forcing you to download a bunch of extra garbage.

Aw hell, I played uh... COD 4 which was the fist modern warfare, and I liked it. Then there was COD BLOPS the first, with alex mason and his buddy gary oldman/brad pitt/fight club. Also pretty good. I seem to like the basic formula but I've been out of the genre for years now.

Should I buy this one or go with infinite warfare, I mostly just want to do the dumb story (SR-71, and/or C130 gunship sections hell yeah) and try hard for a few days in multiplayer.

- This seems to have zombies, is it good in single player? COD BLOPS had some amazing presidential content, and Moon zombies?
- Infinite warfare has space, but I missed it. Worth going back to?
- Screw blizzard for putting this trash in the launcher, booooo

Infinite Warfare is actually really fun and good and clearly is the inspiration for a lot of the campaign mechanics.

The story in this game is good dumb fun, it’s short, but it’s really lean and only one level, which is narrative in purpose kind of drags, but it’s not horrible. Also Sam Worthington no longer voices Mason so no more torture Aussie trying to sound America (flip side is Hudson is neither Ed Harris or Michael Keaton and Woods is different...but sounds pretty drat close)

Also hey follow guy who plays COD games for the story.

That said team death match last was so fun with Max fov and at 120hz. Goddamn it is so fast paced.

It's a super annoying bug, haha. And for some reason the PS5 tends to forget that I've played the PS5 version and defaults to PS4, even though I don't even have the PS4 version installed.

So they never fixed the aim assist from the beta and it is really jarring coming from MW/WZ. If an enemy is moving in a certain way you have to fight it to get on target but sometimes it feels like it just absolutely locks on target.
