    I'm stuck at work, so I'm torturing myself with MP videos on Youtube.

    There's... there's akimbo LMGs in this game! Well, I guess it's one specific LMG, but it's akimbo!

    Everyone has a price. Throw enough gold around and someone will risk disintegration.

    Two thoughts:

    1. I can't decide what I think of the jetpack. I like the movement styles of CoD's, and this adds a whole lot more Z axis. I wish there wasn't a perk to make jetpack not radar-pop you, because that would be a good trade off.

    2. The game feels floaty right now. Something is missing from bullet impact currently, I need to figure that out.

    What is this I don't even.

    So, for those playing Advanced Warfare, would you recommend it to someone who felt incredibly burned by Ghosts?

    Maybe. What about ghosts did you not like in particular?

    Interesting, reading the Giant Bomb review, they mention that the Pick 10 system was extended to Pick 13, with Scorestreaks being part of it. If you never can stay alive long enough to use them, you can actually ditch them and take extra stuff in that slot instead.

    Dogshit netcode, lazy campaign, nothing really felt good while playing... basically I didn't like a thing about Ghosts.

    I'm easy to please with mans shooters. Hell, I enjoyed MW3 a good bit, but Ghosts was just a big sour brown note of a game for me.

    Well, MW3 was basically MW2 with slightly less broken everything and not as good maps.

    The netcode in this one doesn't seem particularly egregious, but it's still a call of duty game. I haven't touched the campaign yet so I can't speak to that. I think it's pretty good but that's like, my opinion man.

    I am curious to see some videos come out when people start figuring out the movement systems and how fast you can go. If you can go fast enough I may pick it up!

    Because you gotta go fast.

    It's downloading even slower now. Down to 768k for some unknown reason. I started this 3 hours ago and it's only at 16%.

    Peak Steam speed for me are around 4.5mbps and my wireless connection doesn't even use half of my full internet speeds.

    Having a ton of fun with the Tac 19 (pump shotgun). Anyone know how long the double XP lasts?

    If anyone wants to add me, I'm on PS4 as Drakieon

    For everyone asking opinions, I think AW (I've only played a few hours mind you) is the best CoD since MW2. Now, I did not play BLOPS 1 or 2, so I can't comment on those. I do think it's far better than Ghosts (yes, I bought Ghosts, only because I wanted a shooter on my ps4 and I ended up regretting it. Although I did like it better than BF4, that series is just not for me).

    I really hope that once I have better map awareness, AW will feel less chaotic and it won't be a problem I have with the new movement system.

    And I'm not saying a new movement system is bad. I just wanted my CoD movement from my CoD, and my Titanfall movement from my TF.

    Bleh. I play these games on PC, the last one I bought being Black Ops. The ports are often not very good. And on top of that it always has the most blatant, commonly found hackers shortly after release.

    I dunno. I could use a good mindless shooter right now but I'm not sure its worth it.

    Since I could care less about this game, I don't need the codes from the Doritos wrapper. That being said, I'd rather give them to PA people instead of having them go to waste. Obviously it's first-come-first-serve. Here's the code:

    ACRNMZ7XSN

    I also enjoy Mt. Dew, so I'll throw those up in here as well if I ever get them.

    I really like the mp, but a few game where I got killed head on before I could react (and once where I shot a guy twice before he saw me and still lost) kinda worries me. I want to love this game, but if its going to play like that I'll just stick with Destiny.

    First impression after 2 mp games is that it feels pretty good. Ofc this could be due to the fact that I was paried with donkeys and could go on massive killing sprees.

    Long day of work, did a couple matches against bots. The regular AI bots are a lot more difficult than I expected them to be and I'm lucky to even get a UAV up. Upside is it runs pretty smoothly and I really like the movement system. Now to ween myself off of using a controller to play.

    Yeah. Most streams were just watching people kill one person and die shortly afterwards.

    Or die to lag kills.

    Not sure if it was lag, player skill or a combination that made it look so poor.

    It reminds me a bit of ghosts combined with BLOPS II but probably more fun than ghosts. I had fun with the 2 hrs or so I was able to play. The movement options feel really fresh but everything else is squarely call of duty.

    So this was getting some traffic on Reddit today.

    Amazing how bad the campaigns have gotten since the first MW. I remember being legitimately moved by the death of the one PC from the nuke after staying for the downed chopper pilot.

    Know what would have made it better, apparently?

    Press X to expire from radiation poisoning.

    Some days Blue wonders why anyone ever bothered making numbers so small; other days she supposes even infinity needs to start somewhere.

    Ummm Why can't I buy the regular digital version of this game? When I try to buy it through the xbone store it says unavailable. The only link that works in the store is the 100 dollar "pro" version. Are they trying to tell me that I have to pay 100 dollars just to get the game today? because if that's the case then not even Kevin Spacey can convince me to give them my money, ever, ever again.

    BLOPS had best campaign. Sure it was total conspiracy ultra baloney, but it was still awesome. WHAT DO THE NUMBERS MEAN!

    Plus the they made the flashback recounting of the story awesome as well.

    Yup, that did it. The page I had to find was the day zero version, which is the exact same as the regular version. I'm sure I would have just given up in a rage if you hadn't pointed that out so thanks a bunch.
