I, for one, am looking forward to CoD:MW reboot although it may take some getting used given they have recast the character voice to a different actor. I only ever play the CoD games for the single player, hence why I didn't buy Black Ops 4 this time round and I actually enjoyed the Modern Warfare single player story arc, as hokey as it was.

Same. I'm excited to see what comes out of this, I don't really care about the MP part of the game.

Btw far harbour is great, it's what the rest of the game should've been.

Alas.

I bought it on Console because I saw the "Nuka Edition" on sale for like 5 bucks, used at a BullMoose. If I ever see the total edition for sale like that I'll likely scoop it up for PC too, just so I can run mods, like the one where Preston isn't allowed to talk. EVER.

Personally the essential removal mod and a mininuke solved that issue for me.
Or just put him on spectacle Island and don't go there, ever.

I am uber-lame when playing Bethesda games. I cannot stop white knighting every situation, and it makes it really hard to be an evil character. I just can't get into it.

That said, I think killing the only significant non-evil person of color in Massachusetts goes against my whiteknight codex. The only other notable brother in the game is a deathbot.

well, played it for 2 days.
campain is one of the better(dont need mutch work to beat the story of several prev games tbh) but nowhere near as gripping as cod4. that beeing said there is a few moments that will linger in you for a little while.

mp is the usual crap; infested with lifeforms that has redbull on direct injection to the heart. dont bother if you have a reaction time longer then 1 sec, or do but prepear to die alot.
the new groundwar mode is just poison. if you are not in an apc constantly, you have no chanse of winning.

specops is impossible to complete with randoms cuz it requires teamwork and class prep, something that 19 of 20 cod players do not have or do not understand, simple as that!

on the good side; cross platform play!

What is more annoying is that you can’t play spec ops offline with 2 player split screen. Was hoping to be able to play with my son. Hope they add the functionality in soon.

So after picking up cod yesterday and having a crap tone of updates, managed to get some time in on it tonight. Banged it straight on realistic setting and got as far as attacking the airfield with the rebel’s.

Not as hard as I’d thought it would be on that setting so far but damn it looks great. Played a match of ground war too and sucked big time. Hmm will have to put some time in on multi me thinks.

All I care about is the Campaign, which I have heard from friends and family is really good. All the coop and multiplayer stuff isn't for me.

Go for it, like I said Bang it on realistic and you will have a blast. Ive come across a couple tricky bits so far but as long as you stick to cover and take your time you’ll be ok.

Just waiting for payday! I'm a little low on cash right now, and I always like to make sure I have a good supply as you never know what can happen between now and Friday!

Very true, had some old games to trade myself so wasn’t so bad.

I had a vague interest in this title, then I read about all the Russophobic propaganda in it and swore it off

How?

Google it, I'm not good at explaining it.

If your response to someone asking about your imaginary "reason" to not buy/play a game is going to be "Google it", you have no reason to be posting in the thread to begin with.

I would very much like to play it. Currently it still has around 15 GB to download, and I started this on Friday.

Why is a FPS game over 140GB??? At this rate I'll be lucky to play before bed tonight and more than likely I'll have to wait until after work tomorrow.

So much for the weekend...

Fine, the portrayal of Russian soldiers as thugs and murderers as well as the Highway of Death scene which references a real life war crime but attributes it to the Russians. The game is getting horrible reviews all over the place because of this and Sony has even decided not to sell the game digitally in Russia because of the backlash.

it is a fictional world, incorporating real world events into it, changed to fit the stories narrative.

This might shock you, but the Russians have historically been some of the most vile people when it comes to human rights abuses. I'm not all that sympathetic.

To be fair, some would say the same about the US

But we are not going to go that route in this discussion.

That only helps my point though. We all come from countries with troubles. Why drag them into a fictional game? If the Ruskies wan't to get upset about their portrayal in a COD game, why do it now? 'Remember, no Russian' happened 11 years ago in MW2 and barely anyone cared. They've been the bad guys in COD games for literally over a decade now...

This game is just a game, don't take it so seriously. (to anyone who reads this)

if i am to take a wild guess, the MP.
their game modes apparently rotates OR gets added over the time, so there seems to be alot more there then what is avalible for us at all times.

aka, i logged in yesterday only to find daylight realisitic to be replaced with nighttime realistic.
im not shure if hardcore modes was avalible in quickplay from day 1, but i found them yesterday for the first time, and i know kill confirm mode was not there on week 1.

I do wish they'd separate the two modes from each other, I am only interested in the Story mode.

Never the less, I was able to finally play it last night...I love it! COD is back!

The smoothness of the controls, the current setting for the story and how dark it all is is great. Piccadilly Square was an awesome map to play and I really like where the story went. So far, all of the guns feel tight and fun, the sounds are way more authentic than they have been in previous games too, which was a pleasant surprise!

Yep they’ve hit the nail on the head with this one. Haven’t played a games that’s sucked me in like this for years.

Personally I like the grim darker feel to this game too, despite reviewers complaining it’s a bit to close to real life/ the bone. Wasn’t really bothered about multi but have to say what I have played so far of that is great too.

well, perfectly understand thouse of you who are here only for the story.

however, they still have private match in MP where you can play in peace with only bots and everything unlocked ^^

Do they? I love'd playing with bots back in the olden days of the first Black Ops and Ghosts games. Those were the last two CoD's I liked.

private match ->local game ->create local game.
bot settings is under Game Setup.

i think, but do NOT quote me on this, that there is split screen option in there aswell, says: add controll for split screen, in the lobby but i only own 1 controller so i cannot try this.
you can play all the modes, and thouse you dont find you can make, or make your own mode by adjusting the rules.

allso i dont know if you must be online to play vs bots only in private match, but since it is under the mp section i guess you have to be.

I don't think there is local split screen yet. I tried to set it up with my son and we couldn't get the option to appear.

Isn’t split screen mode an option for spec ops, haven’t tried it yet myself. On the last level of the campaign on realistic and what a ride it’s been so far.
