I got an extra PS4 beta code so ahh, I guess the first person (who isn’t some lurker rando) who wants it can have it.

This is way more fun than I was expecting. There's a really big focus on map control and team position, even in TDM, which is pretty neat and more interesting than the spawn merry-go-round TDM usually tends to be.

Glad Firebreak’s flamethrower is still OP. I wiped a full team with it this morning lol

The health bars and expanded character-specific abilities gave me a really bad ‘CoD version of Overwatch’ vibe in the initial reveal, but now after actually playing it, it feels a lot more like a CoD version of Rainbow Six Siege.

This is actually really cool so far. My big problem with it is that 90 second countdowns between matches is way too loving long, and resetting it any time a handful of people leave/enter the lobby seriously isn't cool. It takes roughly the same time to start a match as it does to play it.

I guess they must have tweaked this game a bunch over the last week because for whatever reason I'm just not feeling it, at all. Like, I started thinking to myself 'I'd kind of rather be playing Infinite Warfare' and when I realized what I was thinking I immediately shut it off and played more Witcher

For all the fuss Treyarch made about "taking things back to Boots On The Ground™!" and "giving players the CoD experience they know and love!" it really feels like they were afraid to actually, I dunno, make a Call of Duty game and made some bizarre CoD ripoff with various stuff from other popular shooters thrown in, like half-baked Counter-Strike modes, Overwatch's UI layout and, of course, blatant and desperate Battle Royale trend bandwagoning. The actual gunplay isn't even all that bad, which really sucks- there's a good shooter hidden somewhere under all the bullshit.

All I'm certain of is that if that rumor of the MW2 remaster being singleplayer only- with no MP or Spec Ops- is actually true, this series is as good as dead.

Oh and it also has that thing from Overwatch where anyone who does any damage to an enemy gets credit for the kill, so everyone has an absurdly high K/D, which is incredibly bitchmade. God forbid anyone have a K/D under 1, right? Skunts.

Tbh I'm looking forward to the year COD is a financial failure and they finally pull the trigger on doing the Smash Ultimate COD with every map and every mode ever.

Oh hell yes.

I still wonder what happened that made all those titanfall devs go back to cod.

Honestly I'd rather be forced to work on a modern CoD game than forced to work on a modern Star Wars game

It's also very stupid that the modern CODs don't have dedicated servers and also hide the player count so nobody plays anything but one or two modes to guarantee a quick match

I detest this change so much.

It’s really strange that, despite switching from having two devs making a game every two years last console gen to a three dev/three year cycle this console gen specifically to make the design process smoother and more cohesive, the games from last gen actually we’re a lot more cohesive and thought out overall. Like despite what the developers have said, WWII was not ‘always where we intended to go next’ and definitely started halfway through Sledgehammer’s dev cycle after the backlash against Infinite Warfare’s reveal, and BOIIII scrapping the campaign for a Battle Royale wasn’t ‘always the intention’, gently caress that, they probably only started on it this year. Meanwhile, to use a last gen example, MW3- despite the bulk of MW2’s core design team being gone- still had a decent campaign, a fun Spec Ops mode and some decent MP maps.

This is the first time I've felt absolutely no excitement or interest for an upcoming CoD game, and yeah that does include Ghosts and Infinite Warfare. You really let us down Treyarch.

Someone just released a mod for Call of Duty 2 that adds a full Spanish Civil War campaign
