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.

The maps took a step back to MW3, and so did the netcode.

• Domination: When you step off a flag, the current capture bar progress starts to decay. The rate of this decay has been halved from the Beta. This allows players to hop off a flag to defend it and then get back on the flag with less progress loss

is this new? could this be a better solution to half capping?

no because if you have amazon prime you get 20% off preorders & new titles. so I got the MW remastered edition for $63 shipped with guaranteed delivery on friday. all I have to deal with is installing & updating with the potential to offload on the used market if it really sucks (aka what I should have done with AW)

Just a few more days, I enjoyed the beta even if its busted state and remastered will just be amazing all around.

I mean at least everyone can get the broken rear end guns instead of having to worry them randomly dropping from crates.

Dumb question time.

I played Blops 3 a fair bit before getting distracted by life. Enjoyed the hell out of it. The next game to fill my shootman hole was Overwatch, but I got bored with that recently.

I bought Battlefield 1 which is great, but I don't have people to play with which significantly hinders my ability to play effectively. Bought Titanfall 2 which is ok but the population (on Xbox One) already seems to be dropping.

Neither of those games is fitting the shootman shaped hole in my life. My dumb question is, how different is Infinite Warfare compared to Blops 3? Like, should I pony up for the new game or is it not terribly different? I'm not worried about the Blops 3 player base dropping too much, I know people will play that in droves til Blops 4 comes out.

Additionally, as someone who never played Modern Warfare, would the remaster of that still entertain?

Infinite Warfare is a copy of Black Ops 3 with lovely maps and pay-to-win microtransactions. But nobody is here to play that, everyone is going to play Modern Warfare Remastered and this will be the last Call of Duty game that will sell well.

Actually it's better than BLOPS3 in every way since you can craft the poo poo you actually want rather than go the entire year rolling on poo poo and ending with 2 ranged weapons and the maps were mostly good. MWR will remain the buggy piece of poo poo game it was a decade ago with slow rear end movement and endless nade span.

Assuming they keep up the remake trend and don't just immediately about face and set the next COD in WWI/WW2 and we get a WaW remake, then here's hoping that by 2018 when IW gets another go at a game that we get MW2 Remastered.

It has to survive a Sledgehammer installment so if they had planned WaW remastered to combat Battlefield 1 it would have been smart. They could save MW2 remastered for the next Infinity Ward.

While you can save up the scrap to craft a specific gun, remember that crafting is like a tech tree, you have to craft every tier of a gun if you want the top one.

It's still direct progression to the poo poo you want rather than just pure randomness. And I'm sure they'll do double XP/scrap/key weekends to keep that carrot dangling in front of players.

I don't know. I'm kinda really optimistic of the game after the beta. A hell of a lot more than MWR which I just don't see myself sinking a lot of time into.

Did you even play the beta? Because wow, is this ever wrong, unless MW3 was your favourite CoD. The maps are even less imaginative than BLOPS 3 when it comes to exploiting the modern movement system; which was already a step back from AW's multilevel madness.

Frontier didn't have any spots where the movement system even made sense, it would work on a COD game without the boost abilities. I only remember one spot where you had to double jump and you could just put stairs in there.

Frontier is also one of the worst COD maps ever.

The Chinese city one was my favorite. The farm one was pretty meh, reminded of the train station map in MW3 I think. The ice map I got used to because of how often it showed up. The no gravity one was just a couple of death lanes next to one another.

i liked mw3
