I played through the campaign yesterday. Only took me 5-6 hours. Was a good story with stunning graphics, but felt even shorter than normal.

Tried out some of the spec ops too with a couple of american friends and they're fun, but not easy.

Ground war is a mess though. Total carnage.

Ground war seems like a copy of the big battle mode stuff from the last Battlefield rather than something that works for COD - its almost a 100player Domination but i've never really had a match that works and with teams that size I never feel like I'm really making much difference to the overall score or the game itself.

If you have not already you should go into the multiplayer / regiment section and add the other people on there - and if i see you online i'll send you an invite - cross play works fine but we lose out on the team chat side from PSN , however since we're often full or close to full teams i dont think it makes that much difference other than the extra 'noise' in the lobby.

Oh and there are other single player challenges in the multiplayer section - to me they feel a bit like the older spec ops stuff that was in MW3 , there are a few different options :

You vs an army as they throw in more and more resources
You as a Juggernaut against their army
Target shooting practice (like the gun range in MW1)
Driving games
Movement challenges (using the terrain to get between two points in as short a time as possible without touching the ground)

I think you need 'tickets' to run them but you'll get some free and it throws them at you as you play the game anyway

Post subject:  Re: Call of Duty 16 : Modern Warfare

I should be part of the regiment. I saw that bobby, riles and curio were online last night, but not in game it looked like.

Yeah the chat is annoying, Although when running with randos in warzone or in spec ops it's worth having it on, even though the people I've been playing with talk through discord.

I'll have a look at the other multiplayer things, haven't really had much time as all I did was the campaign and a few multiplayer rounds and spec ops.

I'm liking the M4 and the Grau though, I think those are the guns I've leveled up the most. Can't seem to get along with the famas though as I've never been a fan of burst rifles.

I also went and bought it. The campaign was good, I liked the House Clearing level and the sniping level the best.

I think the only normal burst shot AR is the F556 , however you can unlock perks to add burst fire to a lot of them over time.
The M4 and the M13 (?) are the two easiest to pick up AR's and a lot of the SMGs are good as well at the beginning , however for every gun once you unlock extended barrels (longer range) , Laser sights (better accuracy) , and other stuff they get better and better.

At the start you may be just as good scavenging the stuff you find because they will all have attachments on there that you'd not get till later - speaking of which keep an eye on the blurprints tab which will give you a gun with a set of attachments regardless of what level you are so you can get quick access to some things without having to unlock.

Well I've played a fair amount of Warzone, so I've got the M4 to level 35 or so, the Grau to about 29, the scar to about 20, the MP5 to 25 or so, and the M13 to nearly 40 I think. So I've got some loadouts that work for me. Think I'm into the 90s in rank so far.

Gun unlocks remain but your overall rank will reset back to 55 tomorrow (at the end of the season) and then you can climb again up to 155 for the next season

Most of the shotguns are good - the double barrel is basically a shoot without pointing kill at low range early in the game , and you extend that with some of the attachments
There is an extra shotgun to unlock that will be at the bottom of the list which is also one of the best - you need to do X number of games getting 7 kills using a shotgun so keep an eye on that and switch over when you've unlocked it

Today I've been runing the M2 carbine and boomstick in an overkill setup. It's been fun, carbine for long distances and shotty for close in.

Post subject:  Re: Call of Duty 16 : Modern Warfare

I just need to get like 40 more long shot kills to unlock the gold double barrel shotgun, so I am currently running it with all the perks that increase range. It is a proper weird experience. Sometimes you miss or do a little damage, other times you just kill them from miles out.

There may be more than the 11gig that's just the first bit - in the switch over from preseason to season 1 there was a big download and as soon as you started the game up another download started

The PS4 tends to separate out the co-op play parts so I'd not be surprised if there is another download after this but it would not be required to get into either the multiplayer or Warzone

Its fine - and will probably shock Bobby again when he realizes there's a ladder :-)

For previous patches every so often it seems to have a bit of a blip and will force you to rewatch it (unskippable) again and it does get annoying :-)

Post subject:  Re: Call of Duty 16 : Modern Warfare

I have to say, the automatic enemy callouts are very confusing. I mean restaurant? tram station? Why can't they use sensible callouts like "Enemy at Flat Ramp" or "Enemy at Steve" or "Enemy at Granny's House"

Author:  zaphod79 [ Fri Apr 10, 2020 13:20 ]
Post subject:  Re: Call of Duty 16 : Modern Warfare

The call outs are more annoying because they often dont make sense - enemy at the rug shop / enemy at the electronics store or the classic "enemy at the shipping containers" when your playing Shipment !

On the cave map you also get 'enemy at the chickens' and everytime Bobby hears it he goes and kills the chickens to see if it will change it to dead chickens or if it will just stop calling it out :-)

For some maps you can learn where they are - and if you look at the top of the screen near the compass there is a single text line that tells you what the definition is for your current location - so you can see 'Tram Station' or 'Rug Shop' there

https://www.reddit.com/r/remoteplay/com ... ted_crash/ (I'll try the suggestion on this one today and see if that makes any difference - yes i know its for remote play but the timing of it roughly matches)

I've tried a few different headsets and my very old apple headphones mic works but the headphones themselves are rubbish - so it may just be something that sony changes again and it will suddenly work
