I had every intention of buying that cod Xbox when it came out, but I got blackout drunk this weekend and bought the Destiny ps4 bundle from Amazon. Apparently I was on a manic tirade about call of Duty, how the next game will suck but I'm going to buy it anyway. One thing lead to another and I threatened my friends I was going to "buy a loving ps4 right loving now." A couple of my friends tried to stop me, and not let me use the computer, but I tricked everyone be telling them I was sick and needed to throw up, locked myself in the bathroom while I taunted them from the inside, using the Amazon app on my phone. You've all been there, I'm sure.

Anyway, it looks like I'm getting AW on ps4 now. Also, I have Destiny! If you want play my PSN is poooM (also a result of me being drunk when I bought a ps3 way back when and wanted to be poop machine.)

New promo video, Co-op mode revealed at 1:31

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNWvBlu_aWw

Pretty much just looks like Spec Ops mode from MW3 (killing endless waves of bots on multiplayer maps), with the added benefit of those bots now also having exosuits and doing poo poo like cloaking.

Man, I wasn't expecting them to bite Treyarch and go "ZOMBIIIIIES!", but it would've been cool if they could've put their own twist on it. Like terminators or something.

I guess they probably spent enough time on the campaign and the multi that they're probably just busting out the co-op mode in the last couple months. :v:

I appreciate that they didn't go with some dumb gimmick enemy monster like vampires or something. And I'm glad it's not zombies wearing exosuits or something.

That said the Co-op mode sounds a little stale, but hopefully that means they spent more time on campaign and multiplayer.

Here's some info that Charlie Intel posted on Co-op:


Charlie Intel posted:

It supports 1-4 players, including two player split screen

Similar to MW3, you play on the multiplayer maps

You unlock new tiers and maps through playtime

How to unlock each tier? complete 35 rounds (doesn’t have to be in one sitting) to unlock Tier 2, 75 rounds to get Tier 3, and 100 rounds to unlock tier 4.

Exo-Surivial has random objective based rounds, where you have to collect intel off of dead corpses. If you successfully retrieve it, then you earn an extra upgrade. But, there’s also a penalty for failing. If you fail, there’s a penalty. Sometimes a “system hack” kicks in, where your screen goes blurry for a period of time, or sentry guns are dropped in and shot at you for a whole round.
There’s three classes: Light (faster loadout, but less power), Heavy (slower), and Special (between Light and Heavy)

At the end of each round, you get the chance to upgrade your character “post-round upgrades”. You earn points by defeating enemies and completing objectives. To use your points, you have to go to an upgrade station and spend points upgrading exo. There’s an Armory Upgrade to upgrade your weaponry.

On the HUD, there’s a support bar; if you fill it up, then you earn support drops

Highest round an developer at SHGames has reached is 65 rounds

Has a revive mode where you can revive a downed team mate

Character progression is persistent

Supports matchmaking or private lobby play

I have a feeling this is exactly what happened. They are just reusing assets from the other game modes. Quick and dirty solution.

I'm okay with it just being survival mode. I would, however, have found it hilarious if they had just strapped some rocket packs and cloaking devices to zombies. Just have them randomly fly through the air would be kinda fun.

We'll see what the new mechanics add to it. I had some good times with Marauder in MW3 survival, and adding a persistent progression mechanic with objective rounds makes this awfully similar to Extinction, really.

Might be a good time, might suck rear end. Time will tell.

It might be hearsay but I remember reading about someone claiming to be a SH employee who posted a bunch of stuff to 4chan or something about the game prior to the reveal. Among other things, he mentioned that the studio was still hashing out what they were going to do for the coop mode as of pretty recently. So if that's the case it's not too surprising that the mode seems uninspired.

Sections of BLOPS 2's singleplayer took place on the multiplayer maps. I would say its an efficient solution more then anything.

The CoD franchise has always cribbed from the SP campaign for multiplayer maps.

MW3 survival was so bland for all the on-disc maps. 4 different wave progression tiers (difficulties) that were pretty much just introducing harder enemies a little earlier than the tier below.

The two things that made it work were 1) Each DLC map had their own unique wave progression and threw out the concept of difficulty level and 2) The sentry glitch that allowed you to hold as many weapons as you wanted (ie all 4 LMGs, a MK14, and a riot shield).

Yeah, after watching the video I can't really see any downsides outside of it being kinda slower and having to cycle through to find what you want. Hopefully they were smart enough to put in some other downside because otherwise it's all anyone will ever use. Maybe when equipped you only get just one grenade, whereas with the others you get two? Or maybe the effects are smaller than the dedicated version of the grenade (less radius or whatnot).

Spoon Man
Mar 15, 2003

Slower to use was the reason I used stun grenades over flash bangs in many CODs despite their smaller radius, so that's a significant downside. Being able to cycle through reads a lot better on paper than will likely play out in game. You'll probably just stick with one launcher after the 10th time you get killed while cycling.

In the E3 footage, the blurbs for the regular non-lethal grenade mentioned they could be "manually detonated" and the variable grenade specifically mentioned that they couldn't. Not that that seems like a huge advantage, though.

I'm wondering if the manual-detonation frag is meant to be the replacement for a C4 airburst.

Only the non-lethal grenades (stun, EMP, threat, and smoke) mentioned that they could be manually detonated, so I'm not getting my hopes up for airburst frag or semtex.
