Why do the peasants slave while the emperor gets to eat all the mung?!
Never-mind the inevitable trolling from the scrawny, no-stem degree, non weight lifting, dead-end job apartment bums or the ugly, fat pink, boys who spend more time with playstation than their ugly wives who they stupidly forgot to prenup. These are the same clowns who always go out of their way to type "my gf/wife" on msg boards because their not even used to female attention. People don't make a big deal out of things that come easy.

On to the review. This is about as "new" as you can be while still keeping the game CoD. I'm as big a CoD basher as they come, and this game screams "effort." The graphics are great, the sound is pretty good, and the jet packs really change how gun fights go down and how you get across the map. It makes it easy to defeat campers by just gliding past them.

The maps are well made, too. They aren't all cramped mazes like infinity ward maps tend to be. These remind me of Black Ops 1 maps. They are kind of big and mostly open, but there are some tight spaces throughout the maps.

The time to kill is fine, too. It isn't ridiculously fast like Ghosts, but it isn't Uncharted long either. Sometimes, you can escape being killed if caught off guard.

I didn't review the campaign, because I mainly buy shooters for online play.

Gary Oldman, Kiefer Sutherland and Ice Cube were MP announcers and they hyped them up WAY less. I guess I don't get it...

bear in mind my opinions are based off multiplayer and i haven't touched the campaign yet

i'd feel better about the multiplayer if the other weapons were viable because using an assault rifle all the time is boring.

Are you sure there isnt some super loving broken SMG like there tends to be in every single call of duty game. Are you sure.

Probably PS4 or PC I can see having the biggest community for it right now with PS4 in a slight lead. I don't base this on any actual numbers because after loving with the Xbox one thread people I never want to see another actual chart ever again.

honestly i'd should buy this on console if you have the choice because I imagine it would feel a lot less like assault rifles are the only choice if you had to aim with a thumbstick
