Be Excellent To Each Other

Yeah, well, I can't really say much.

Skeeeeep weeeelll get sheeepment

You get to turn both left AND right in COD.
And go prone.

The MW remastered single player is live now if you've pre ordered.

And its big - 50 GB

although COD seems to really be the diskspace grabber in general this generation

COD BLOPS 3 - 86.21GB
COD AW - 71.04GB
COD Ghosts - 56.19GB

Back of the box says 130GB required and I assume that will be before the map packs

Slight disappointment with remastered. It doesn't start with "Fifty thousand people used to live here......now it's a ghost town"

But it feels like a shinier prettier CoD4. I like it so far. Hopefully the multiplayer is just as good.

This is admittedly quite cool!

May contain spoilers I guess. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2016- ... me-paradox

Beta is available for download on the PS4 now - and i have some spare codes *however* I dont know if you will be able to use them on a normal UK account - give its via the Activision website you probably can but YMMV

https://www.callofduty.com/infinitewarfare/beta

I have 5 so if you want to try let me know - if it does not work on a normal UK account then it will work with a canadian one (2 minutes to setup) and when you download it you can play it with your regular account

Okay just tried with my other accounts - code does not work on a UK account it does work on a US or Canadian one so if you have one of those (or want to set one up) let me know and you can have an invite

Can't get mine to download. Where is it? Since I preordered digitally it's a bit strange

Found it.

I played this at EGX this year dontchaknow. It looked stunning and the sound effects were incredible. Just a shame the movement system was more BLOPS3 sput sput sput jet pack that AW whooshy whup bazooma jet pack. The shotguns were weak as piss at anything but right upside someone's mug and, I know, because they let you customise your rig for a few minutes and I elected for two primary shotguns because one shotgun isn't enough.

The winning team then got to play the CoD Remaster. We won and then I was let down by how goddamn slow MW feels after all these years. I was more excited to play IW 2BH.

Also: free beta key please (assuming you can set up a US account without putting in any cash money deets).

Sent - and yes just pick a different email address and give it a valid US postal address (google for one if you dont have anything you'd want to use)

Right now in typical COD beta form its mostly broken you can get in - setup your classes - spend your free 30 credits for a supply drop but it doesnt want to join you into any lobby

Reading around some people are getting into games randomly so up to you if you want to give it a try or wait till tomorrow to see if they have ironed stuff out

And Welcome back ! - you've been missed around here.

It started working just before 1:00am last night so here is a few matches worth of gameplay



First thoughts :

Its very fast
Typical COD i need a good 4 or 5 hits to kill them but i often die in a single hit from them (even though this is not Hardcore)

Agree with you Zaphod. Get killed what feels like instantly, even though I smash 5 or 6 bullets into them. It's fast, the jetpack things are a bit annoying as everyone just uses them all the time. Can't even figure out where you get the killstreaks too.

I did a bit better today and the only real change was a different Rig (the middle one) - I wonder if it has extra armour or defence , the 'special' weapon is better (dual wield fast pistol type weapons)

For the killstreaks i dont have many unlocked but on the first rig the 2nd power up changes the streaks to 'continue' so it does not reset after each death.

Worth playing around with the other Rig types to see if any work better for you (they have also added Kill Confirmed and a new map to the rotation today)

I changed to the drone thing that explodes. From the big ass plane, as I haven't managed to get a big enough streak yet. Although I'm starting to get back into the swing of it. Had a few rounds of domination that went positive k/d. I've been mostly using the 3rd rig with the dual guns as the powerup thingy. Haven't noticed any major differences in them yet though apart from the guns you get as a powerup.

Beta for this weekend has been extended

Now finishes at 10:00am PST on Tuesday (18:00 UK)

Gotta say, although it's very smooth and quick, it's not doing much for me. It's just more BLOPS3. The TTK seems much quicker than previous entries. No wonder my average life is about .5 of a minute; whoever spots who first wins. It's ridiculous. I just can't be fucked with it.

Well that's made my mind up then, I'm getting Titanfall 2.

A lot of what is wrong with COD in one picture :-)

New game mode which i quite like "Defender" - ball spawns in the middle - grab it and then protect the person with it
As the ball carrier you do not have your weapons but can hit people with the ball , or can throw it (which lets you get your guns back out to shoot) - after a short period (60 secs?) the ball respawns in the centre and you can go grab it again.

In the game above my team won , I carried the ball for almost 3 minutes and only went slightly negative with my K/D , however I came 4th in my team , and of those above me one person never even touched the ball

On the other team their top player beat me on score and only had the ball for 1 second

So much more about killing and your K/D than the objective

Haven't tried that yet. But I played a game of Domination. It was 6 vs 5 ( I was on the 5). Whole team had negative K/D ratio, everyone had at least 2 captures, I had 6. All but one on the other team had 0 captures (they all had positive K/D), the guy doing the captures on their team had negative. My team won. I do miss the old days of us lot playing together, but it seems people still don't play objective based games for the objective.

And a really easy way to fix that is to give out *more* XP and points for doing the objective stuff , I've played so many matches of Domination where the top scorers (on either side) dont even have a single capture , that means they start the game and dont even bother standing around at the spawn point to get that first one !

Stand?! If you don't dive at the first capture point, you're doing it wrong.

If you don't:
-Spoon on top of grannies house
-use the kangaroo defense
-all hide in an out of the way bush
-meet up in the swimming pool for knife fights
You're doing it wrong.

Although probably the thing which killed me the most (both in game, and IRL through laughter) was the grenade bug.

I can understand objective points being less in certain circumstances (if I grab the ball and hide, and Nickachu and Zaphod kill everyone who comes near me, they should get more points than me), but yeah, when whole teams ignore objectives it is annoying.

I will be playing this online when I get the disc (and MW too), so at that point am happy to organise gaming nights. My bro will have it too, so that's another body for Team CoD.

Like he was for GTA. I'm not sure I believe you have a brother.

I do. I accosted* him at Curios London wedding, thinking it was Curio. He was much confused.

*-no phone. Bad phone. I did not anus him.

No dolphin dive in the current CODS , you can slide into the point but thats it :-(

Unlike BLOPS1 :

He's playing GTA online quite a lot but it always seems to coincide with a Board Game night.

Don't forget bobby. He's getting it too.

If people jump I'll jump. However this is also going to entail a new HDD.

Concur. Also probably concur.

Alternative, extreme lazy approach is working out whether trading in the existing PS4 to then buy a 1TB new one with IW included is a reasonable course of action.

This is why you're the ideas man

Not implementation sadly. I'd likely be left with two PS4s.

Your skills at laziness are comparable to mine own. Never actually getting around to the trade in is assumed.

Do you really need more than me and my bro?

Okay yes.

But we have Nickachu and Zaphod too! And Ian!

And Not Myp!

I will also be getting battlefield too. As the beta was fun and it's scoring really well on reviews. But I'll play both when I have the time.

Beta weekend 2 (starting Thursday evening) is open to everyone (no need for code or pre-order)

There's a reskin of terminal!

Space Terminal :-)

Another new mode (which seems to be TDM with the extra ability to spawn camp)

If you wanted reskins there are at least 2 earlier BLOPS reskins in BLOPS3 - Outlaw (reskin of Standoff) and Empire (reskin of Raid)

I wet my pants when I saw they were remastering Modern Warfare but I played one game online of infinity warfare today and immediatly bought Battlefield 1. Jumpy bouncy shooting round corners is not my thing.

Battlefield 1 seems good though!

Can you fly those blimp things from the adverts?

Christ knows, I'm off my face on tramadol. I tried to heal someone as the medic and threw a grenade in their face.
