Lol, the review embargo drops after the release of the game ?
Is this one going to have dedicated servers on PC? It just always seems like Treyarch goes out of their way to deliver a ton of content, as well as try to change things up at least a little bit rather than simply shit out another game. Not to mention, they always deliver a solid PC port. I think people appreciate that and it's contributed to their games becoming the most popular.
Anyone?

AW is great. I can't even believe that some people can compare AW and Ghosts.
I guess that AW multiplayer was just too hard for people not used to movement.
It drops on release day as has been the case with COD for years. Reviewers already have their copies.

I personally found BLOPS2 campaign to be a total snoozer

Titanfall is better than Blops 3 in terms of gameplay. There I said it.

I'll second that.

And this is the type of stuff I'm talking about. They put little things like this all over the place in their games that end up adding a good amount of content to the overall package. Looks fun, and it's a great way to show off the new mobility of your character.

considering an anti cod guy like me actually enjoyed the beta, the marketing team wouldve been doing an awful job if it were lower than aw.
not surprised at all.

I think both of them have some good stuff regarding the gameplay. But in terms of content, weapons, modes.... BO3 already won.

Good good, this looks to have righted the ship after the last few dodgy entries, so hopefully this will sell gangbusters.
I mean I'm not even into the BattleCOD games, and think this looks worth playing. Even my fiancée, who hates first person games, wants to give it a go.

Well is it still the same Infinity Ward? Most of the staff followed the founders to Respawn. Don't know why people forget this tidbit. This is not the same Infinity Ward that made CoD2, CoD4:MW or MW2. And back then, all Treyarch could do was play copycat catchup with IW.
Even now, Treyarch is utilizing a lot of features found in TitanFall for Black Ops 3. So it's still ongoing.
Everything shown so far has looked awesome, and there's a huge amount of varied content this year. There's even a free running challenge mode.

Though honestly, the wall running in CoDBlops 3 was pretty rubbish when I tried it out. It was slow, awkward, made you a even easier target for enemies and it was overly difficult to get running on a wall because you had to face-smash it for the game to react "Oh, you wanted to run on this?"

First COD? Well, It's COD on steroids. Literally. I'd recommend Modern Warfare 1 or 2 and Blops 2 as a good starting point, but if this is def your first, then expect a lot of fast paced stuff to happen online, with not much explanation. Offline, expect a lot of random stuff to happen in the story, and Kevin Spacy telling you what to do.
I just played randomly online. Got crushed. Turned off PS4. Not sure if there's a group or anything.

I was getting burnt out by Call of Duty and was pretty cynical about the series for years despite playing all of the titles more than any other series (hundreds of hours in multiplayer for several of them, mostly MW2, MW3, and Black Ops 1), but since taking a break from the series over half a year ago after playing Ghosts and Advanced Warfare as my last COD titles, I've grown to appreciate the series more.
There are legitimate issues with Advanced Warfare, even more so Ghosts, but they are nowhere near as bad as I once thought and made them out to be. I do agree with some people here, however, that Advanced Warfare's campaign was nothing to brag about; in fact, I thought it was the most boring Call of Duty campaign I had ever played, even if there were alternatives by which missions could be executed. I vastly prefer Ghosts' universe to Advanced Warfare's.
But ultimately, I don't think I'll ever enjoy a campaign as much as I did with Modern Warfare 2 and Black Ops 1, which is unfortunate.
With all of that said, I can't wait to grab this game.

That's fine, I am sure all that extra content won't keep me playing the game though.
Edit: I am not saying Blops3 plays poorly though, its a big step up compared to AW.

Just like the crazy lack of content in TF made me drop it pretty quickly, I guess

Say what!? My god man... the pistols in AW were some of the most powerful, if not the most powerful, in any CoD. They were glorious. It was the rest of the game that was bleh lol
lol no, people prefer to play BO2 on last gen than that shitty aw filled with microtransactions.

I think I can only speak for myself, but I'm not really into clan stuff and playing on predetermined times.
I usually just turn on the console and go online.

Ghosts = a fly infested turd
BLOPS = lovingly crafted pastry
I would only eat 1 of those.... And I don't have a gross fetish.
Do the math.
Yeah, I don't remember people organizing this kind of stuff too much with AW
But ask in the OT and of course you'll get people to play with, probably around the clock
I dunno. They felt garbage to me. I got diamond pistols in BO2 too.
Haven't spent a red cent aside from the $60 to get in and regularly clean up in AW so.
Cosmetic Microtransactions are 100% okay. Let the people who want to obsess over looking like they want do so. As long as gameplay remains unaffected who cares.

Seriously, this looks great. Good spawns (unlike Advanced Warfare and Halo 5), great graphics, a subtle amount of additional mobility, not an over emphasis on it, decent movement and animations and just generally good engagements, without too many crazy perks or over the top shenanigans. It's not completely manic, but still action packed enough for a good time.
I'm seriously tempted to pick this up over Battlefront.

Nah. They prefer to play BO2 because they just can't stand how the movement works in AW. It's not a bad game at all.

They're both fun games.
From the Beta it feels like Treyarch has done the best job of splitting the difference between COD and Titanfall movement. You can use it if you want but you won't be drastically at a huge disadvantage without it.
That said I think the beta did a great job of getting people on board for it.
Do you not understand iw is just the name now?
Lostconfused

Sure but lets put it this way, the last call of duty game I bought for my self was Black Ops.
I got a bit bored during the beta, but I spent too much time with the PS4 version. The PC version was faster paced so that felt a bit better, but still grinding unlocks seems to be more of a reason to stick around than the gameplay.

Changes are fine if they don't make regular gameplay a mess. Exosuits, in my opinion, turned matches into shitshows. I was always relegated to playing non-exo matches because after a week, I couldn't take the exosuits anymore. I like mobility within reason, but AW's exo movements in multiplayer did not make it enjoyable. At least not to me.

AW was ok, maybe because Ghosts was so terribly bad AW just only had to be 'ok' to get a pass I dunno.
But the fact is everyone knows Treyarch are the best so I'm not surprised their finally next CoD game has people hyped. Everyone loves Black Ops so going with that brand is instantly going to get people interested just over the fact that its the 3rd installment.
Plus the beta was good.
All signs point to having fun.
I believe in Treyarch.

Gotcha. Well, i've purchased them all from CoD through AW (unfortunately lol) and BOII was the last "great" CoD IMHO. BOIII, from all i've played and seen, looks to be another great package. How does the PC version play? I haven't seriously played a PC FPS since UT lol. I got turned off the the competitive playspace... crumbled with hacks and mods and the aim bots and the like.
