Some people are saying that WWII's campaign is some kind of ATLAS Co. VR training thing and the end hints at AW2. I hope it's true because I really want that, and I'd also like the future setting haters to get really mad :pray:

Rolling Stone magazine has uncovered a new patent from Activision that was filed in 2015 that talks about how the company wants to design their matchmaking systems in their titles. Activision was granted the patent earlier this month by the US Patent and Trademark Office.

This new patent appears to be about how Activision plans to use “tricks” in their matchmaking system to lure players to purchase more in-game items through the course of playing a game. Specifically (one aspect of the large patent), the patent mentions that high skilled players get paired with low-skilled players to purposefully encourage low-skilled players to spend more money to get better in-game items to match up against higher skilled players.

“For example, in one implementation, the system may include a microtransaction engine that arranges matches to influence game-related purchases. For instance, the microtransaction engine may match a more expert/marquee player with a junior player to encourage the junior player to make game-related purchases of items possessed/used by the marquee player. A junior player may wish to emulate the marquee player by obtaining weapons or other items used by the marquee player.”

Awesome

gently caress and you can sit in a fake projectors bunker and watch twitch livestreams with a black and white filter. i kinda want this game just for this weird social poo poo.

e: and you can watch 1v1s in this colosseum style death pit. sledgehammer managed to do something cool with ww2 at least. if the maps are good i may pick this up but the beta wasnt great...

there is an alarmingly large chunk of the playerbase that think wallrunning/double jumps etc. are the worst thing to ever happen to the series

considering WWII was the best selling cod in like half a decade its just the entire playerbase. the future war stuff is probably dead, but im curious what BLOPSIIII (lol) looks like

the multiplayer seemed like overwatch mechanical design but it still had COD turbo TTK so it will all be pointless when you kill a guy with 2 smg bullets anyway.

I like that they said this, and instead of moving on, they rolled a 5 minute talking head piece reiterating it from 8 different overwatch designers.

The battle royale mode is real, and they said the word "battle royale", so that leak was 100% correct. Bummer...

Splatoon hides all the data too on the in game scoreboard and combines kills/assists into one number but if you check the app it has all the real data for each game at least.
