Tes-e-co seem to have this for £29 as an offer today - I'd also expect a chuck off all the different versions at some point this week for Black Friday / Cyber Monday deals.

On the multiplayer side I'm level 45 or 46 (so only a little to go to the first Prestige point at 50) and still enjoying it - there is no 'oh no not that one' map that comes up in rotation

Gun wise I played a lot of games with the default SMG (KP5) which was fine , play a few with the 3 round burst AR (very similar to the Type 22 from MW3), and I'm currently playing with the weird cyber shotgun which is great fun for jumping into a flag point and blasting everywhere with !

The 'items' you unlock after every game or two range from Malibu Stacy clothes for your character (should I wear the pink or the green gloves for this game - the green ones go well with the green line in the new boots I'm wearing) to slight weapon variations (a SMG with more bullet damage but slightly less mobility / a sniper with a 3 round burst but lower range / etc etc)

Did someone demand the full video?

*NO*

Well here it is. The slaughter begins at 2.40.



Clearly that gun I'm using is the best in hardcore modes. I have no idea what it's called but I feel like I'm winning because I'm aiming and shooting rather than going spray and pray.

I have finished the campaign.

ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view!
That was quite good fun. Obviously still all 'same old, same old', but there were some other fun bits like the sniper drone, fighter plane and massive mech suit, and I loved some of the new tech, like mute charges.

But the best thing was surely that the hero spent most of the game getting knocked out and having his ass saved by the indestructible British guy!

So without double XP i'm normally at the top of the scoreboard by a long way for HCD , my normal score is somewhere around 5000 - 6000 points but sometimes you just have games where things really click

Nice!

My bro recently invented a challenge game, whereby you play against 6 bots for 10 minutes. Only pistols allowed, with no proper guns and no explosives. Set the bots to the lowest level and see how much carnage you can cause in that time. Your 'score' is kills minus deaths.

His best is about 70-odd

Any pistols ?

I'm getting quite good with the railgun pistol as a sniper weapon - my main gun is the sledgehammer (shotgun) which has issues with range so if I'm going up against someone at distance I'm using the railgun pistol - single shot but the accuracy is high (so you get to hit what you aim for)

I'm not sure it lets you use the modified ones in solo play, though it lets you use any attachments, so you can use whatever you want, I suppose!

I do like the modified stat guns. Given I play hardcore, I like to get versions with reduced damage and greater accuracy or range or similar.

Yep, so I had a game with the kid on this the other day...it's probably the first time that I've been pwnd by one of my own kids (ignoring Singstar cos that really doesn't count!) and I don't like it :(

He gets stupid kill streaks (2m19s) in pretty much every few games.

The way I see it, I have 1 of 3 options:

1) Play more so that I can stand half a chance;
2) Ban him from gaming altogether; or
3) Disown him.

Unfortunately (and more sadly) I only think 2 of these options are achievable.

Buy the single map pack - but your better waiting until its actually out - no date for the PSN / Steam releases yet - previous games Microsoft had a 4 week exclusivity contract , I really hope this one is less (since i'm on the other side of the console divide this time) but it has not been announced.

Individual packs are normally £10 but you can get a little off that by buying the PSN credit from somewhere like CDkeys

A friend of mine today said that its about that time when the next Call of Duty is announced. I'm not really finished playing the last one, I countered. And then, I said, I have no idea why zombies is so big. I went on saying it's fun, sure, but mindlessly repetitive. And, I was still talking, zombies again? I took a breath to punctuate my point. Evey game has zombies these days. Yeah, he said back, they need some new ideas. Then we played Dead Rising 3. This is great fun, I was saying after about an hour, I gotta get this on Steam when I've got some money. Y'know, I haven't played it in ages, he replied. He continued, Dead Rising was one of my all time favourite games on the 360. Yeah, it was fantastic, I agreed.

THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENED.

Okay so someone has created a mod to allow you to play zombies within another game - video below



Kotaku covered it

Trials Map Somehow Becomes Call of Duty: Zombies

Trials Fusion is a side-on motorbike game. It is not a first-person shooter. In fact it's about sa far from a first-person shooter as you're going to get. So it's magic that you can take the game's map editor and build a replica of Call of Duty: Zombies with it.

It took Pneumatic Bog three months to put this together, and it's now available to play on the Xbox One version of Fusion. Note that it doesn't just have a little bit of running around and shooting: he's got 18 weapons in there, eight perks, the mystery box and even AI for the zombies.

People have tried this kind of thing before (or gone in other amazing directions!) but we've never seen a shooter as fleshed-out as this before.
It's Possible To Create A First-Person Shooter In Trials Evolution

The map is called "COD Zombies Polar Darkness" if you're searching for it.

Next DLC drop will be 31st of March for Xbox (and I presume 30 days later for PS4 / PC) - only info so far is the poster - 4 maps / new gun / 1 new Zombies map

"Ascendance"

http://uk.ign.com/articles/2015/03/18/c ... -announced

Quote:
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Ascendance DLC Release Date Announced

Called the Ascendance DLC, this pack mirrors that of the previously-released Havoc DLC by including four new multiplayer maps, a new weapon, and a new chapter for Exo Zombies. Additionally, a new Exo Grapple ability will be granted to those who purchase the DLC.

Included with a custom werewolf variant, the OHM directed energy light machine gun/shotgun hybrid is the newest weapon introduced in Ascendance.

Those on the Ascendance playlist will also have access to a new Exo Grapple ability, which can help players quickly travel to vantage points and serves as a secondary weapon when needed. It should be noted that this ability will only be usable on the Ascendance playlist and cannot be used anywhere else.

The Infected chapter of the Exo Zombies saga sees the return of its cast made up of John Malkovich, Bill Paxton, Rose McGowan, and Jon Bernthal as they fight undead new and old outside of the Atlas facility. The chapter will introduce new traps and bring back Burgertown.

Finally, Ascendance will introduce four new maps. These include Perplex, the map located inside an Australian modular apartment complex, the location of a crash-landed alien spaceship beneath Mount Rushmore in Site 244, a chance to run around a climate-controlled enclosure mixing land and water routes with environmental hazards in Climate, and a map located inside of a black market industrial complex called Chop Shop.

The DLC will be avilable on March 31 for $15 on Xbox One and Xbox 360. It is a timed exclusive and will eventually release on all other appropriate platforms, but a future date for this has not been announced.

In my new series of Call of Duty "How to Play" I demonstrate how to annoy people with the fabulous smoke effects and that sight that lets you see through the fog.

When it works it's ace.

It rarely works.

By the end of the game the center flag is awash with smoke and I keep dying and dying and dying.

Bloody humble bumble have got the season pass at £17 on PC (1/2 priced) which I would totally go for if it was for the PS4.

I would have probably prestiged on AW and would be going around the levels again but I'm still on level 52 on BLOPS3 and not thoroughly enjoying it. Thus, thence and therefore I'm 100% happy to state that AW > BLOPS3.

I'm basically one prestige level above you on BLOPS3 - and its 'okay' - there are some good bits but its not helped by the maps - there are two that once they come around 'never' leave and thats an issue because you get sick of playing the same two maps over and over again (Combine is the worst for this but Fringe is the other) and the age old problem of people not playing for the objective on objective based modes but playing to get the most kills.

BLOPS also has a care package issue where if you are willing to take (and have unlocked) the right set of PERKS they do nothing , and if you have not then you are just totally hammered as soon as you spawn - we're not long away from the first map pack drop which may help some smaller bits but (apart from BLOPS Zombies being better than AW Zombies) I agree with you.
