The fact that Activision commissioned this deep of a remaster speaks to the confidence that Activision has in Infinity Ward in 2016.

But hell, I'm buying because GCU/Prime discount and I want to dunk on kids with the RPD again. I just hope they don't go overboard with rebalancing, e.g. removing Stopping Power.

Stopping Power stays, but Juggernaut gets removed. Please.

Actually, the plot of AW is only decent if you consider 'Atlas Shrugged' to be good literature.
Kevin Spacey is the only thing that makes a story that stupid fun.
The idea of private military being more efficient was completely and utterly disproven in the poo poo show that was Iraq 2.

For some reason I downloaded that dumb Heroes game for the iOS. I saw Menendez in there and thought, "You better have Kevin Spacey as a Hero".

The PS4 ghosts hardened edition is selling for 15bux on Amazon.

A small price to pay for the last good CoD.

I actually wanna say that it was pretty decent? Campaign shook it up sorta in the sense that the ending is just the hero getting tortured the same way the villain does, multiplayer is boots on ground with consistent hitting, and Extinction has you shooting bugs instead of zombies.

I guess people wanted more Modern Warfare so that's why they poo poo on it? Or is there something more?

Not to mention how there seems to be only one really useful trait in Merc's Man-At-Arms. Which I think is either faster ADS or Sleight of Hand... and then suddenly no movement penalties whatsoever after that.

That's assuming SMGs have a noticeable movement penalty.

Assuming you mean the Merc's Super "laser" (read: plasma stream), it has finite range.

That's right, finite. It's basically the flamethrower from C&C: Renegade; a super thin stream of non-instant death, that ends about max shotgun range.

However, it's SUPPOSED to curve a slight bit. Not around corners or anything, just curve a bit,

Just hold off until you get the riot shield charge.

Based on the beta, it played similarly to Black Ops 3, but with a lot more reasons to fall over dead before you're able to react. Map design got away from some of Treyarch's more obnoxious tendencies (every map must have 3 lanes, dom flags must always be in a line, wall-running can only be used for flanking routes) but they're still a mixed bag.

Plus it's neo-Infinity Ward so we're probably getting more unbalanced poo poo. SMGs be SMGs, ARs have low recoil, Snipers have Aim Assist, LMGs have Man-At-Arms/better handling... but shotguns got straight hosed from Blops 3.

Spaceland Zombos update: It's both easy and hard. Easy in the sense that basic dumb shootmans is possible, you get an axe if you're lucky, and Pack-a-Punch only requires the only four portals on the map to be used once.

It's also hard in the sense that you might as well not go for the revive perk since dying and reviving as it is in solo fuckin' SUCKS. Also hard in that there's a big guy with a mask. Apparently you can see through the mask with the hater blockers.

Consider biting the bullet by playing ZOMBIES IN SPACELAND. Their key rate is sorta better in that if you pass round 10 or 11, it's already more keys than the average MP match. But then again, it did snub Extinction 2 out.

It's pretty bad in that regard but it's not anywhere near Ghosts. That game had the worst color palette of any game I think I've played since the PSX era.

Ghosts felt as if Infinity Ward saw people calling CoD games 'brown and grey' and got upset and overreacted, like oh yeah? You think MW2 is 'brown n' bloom', xXCapn_Pri$eXx? You think MW3 is '2gray4me', b0n3rL0rD? Huh? You guys wanna see loving gray and brown, you've got it, gently caress YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now I want a CoD that's ultra contrast. Or at least saturated contrast.
