I remember some article by some tech site claiming that the game actually puts out MORE than 60 fps on PS4 but IW never capped the framerate so it looks messed up?

And isn't it 720p upscaled to 1080p on xbone, or did they patch that?

I highly doubt that PS4 framerate thing you mention. I have a hard time coming up with any idea how a higher framerate would make it look like a lower framerate, but I'd be interested in an explanation if it does exist.

I believe the Xbone version is still 720p upscaled, but I stopped following Ghosts stuff months ago, so I'm in no way certain.

Ghosts on the PS4 ran higher then 60 fps at launch, but a patch came out that fixed that. It still has framerate drops, though.

I just ordered a 2TB drive for my PS4 that doesn't exist. It was $100. Now I'm finding out that I could have gotten a Bone with Day Zero & a 1TB drive for the same price as a bare console + drive PS4? ffffffffffff

Another thing, I'd be really careful buying the PS4 version. Ghosts is a technical fuckup on PS4, framerate drops to 20s often because of some crazy frame skipping issue, scoping through those advanced digital scopes drops the FPS etc. Not a fluid experience at all, loving unbearable to be honest.

I mean, granted, that could just be because Infinity Ward is a miserable fuckup of a studio.

They managed to make probably the worst PC port of COD (Ghosts), which was still an awful microstuttery mess months after release. The Steam free weekend probably lost them even more sales, if that's possible.

The fact that Modern Warfare 3 was even loving playable, muchless kinda good leads me in the direction that Sledgehammer are masterworkers of technology and that Advanced Warfare will be great.

There's a great opportunity for team co-ordination here - rather than a bunch of overlapping UAVs, if people within a lobby specialize, you could have

UAV with:

All for a relatively low cost.

Have all the guns revealed so far been fake name future guns? No old world classics like a pump-action 870 or an AK variant? Because dammit Sledgehammer, I want to shoot future mans in the year 2050 with a 100 years old rifle platform! An 1887 would also be acceptable.

The SIG MPX is in as some random name. I expect you'll see a fair amount of throwbacks.

The AK-12 is in (with a giant 12 on the back so you know what it's supposed to be), I saw the Lynx in the reveal trailer yesterday, the ASM1 SMG looks like a spacefuture Tommy Gun, and the internet movie firearms database page is slowly accumulating entries. But at the same time, the demo had a bolt-action rail gun, a "directed energy" shotgun and a laser weapon, so it looks like a mix of real and fake.

I'd guess orbital means it can't be shot down, like the blackbird/vsat. Threat detection might mean it highlights enemies like the Oracle/the threat grenade?

Looks pretty nice at 60 FPS. One thing I noticed in that video is the Scorestreak meter now shows the cost for the next streak, instead of a vague bar like BLOPS 2 had.

Well gently caress these guys for getting me excited about a COD game again. I liked pretty much everything I saw during the reveal - exo, pick 13, modded scorestreaks, whatever those packages are that give you bling'd gear every so often - all great.


My only complaint is that they are using the same narrow font and color (white) for the "+100" kill notification as BO2, which always blends into the background and makes it harder for me to see my righteous point total for nuking a bunch of guys off of a dom point. I really wish they would go back to the MW3 / MW2 yellow style, with a wider and larger font. A minor complaint.

Also, I see there is no customizable player cards? I always liked the fun cards like "Death from Above" "No.", "To Serve and Protect", etc. which were in MW2 and MW3. There was always fun challenges associated with each. Here's hoping they have new challenges this year as well.


Bottom line: CAN'T WAIT TO COD WITH YOU ON THE XBONE BROS. hopefully it'll be like those good ol' BO2 / MW3 days (or MW2 days, for those who go back that far.)

Pretty much the same. I wouldn't buy the game if we couldn't get some good groups going. Although, Ghosts was pretty sad. We'd be lucky to get one group going after a month or so of playing.

I don't know what you're talking about. I had a few months of fun games, specifically with Mascot who was coincidentally online most of the times I was looking for games. As dreadful as the implementation and ranking system worked Clan Wars were a great rallying cry for all the BOYS prior to us getting completely buttfucked by being put in divisions full of clans with 100 fully active players vs. our 20-30 semi-regular players.

I guess what I'm remembering is the MW3 days when we could easily have 4x6 person teams rolling at any given time. I'm not saying we couldn't get groups together in Ghosts (although admittedly I got bored after two months) but it was no where near what we used to get in previous versions.

Yeah, I remember getting on the BLOPS2 party train pretty drat late and there were still steady groups playing nightly. I'd like to imagine that if AW is actually decent and there aren't any big releases that splinter the player base within the first few months it should be good for awhile. If the 9 player teams rumor turns out to have any legitimacy I'd like to think there could be at least two full groups running during peak hours, more pending on implementation of Clan Wars. We'll just have to wait and see.

I'm assuming they haven't revealed all of the scorestreaks yet as there aren't a whole lot of them compared to previous games. Although I imagine customizable streaks will increase the variety.
