They both have artificial gravity manipulation, aka, "magic".

I wanted that zero-g ad they did for CoD a while back as an actual gameplay option

Looks like Titanfall 2 will win over this - especially with the Pay to Win mechanics due to Scrap drop rate. And a fractured play base when the new DLC amp packs domw out. Free Maps for life in TF2.

Never thought I would say this but with BF1 and TF2 and some of the changes made within game, EA is really doing some consumer friendly things. Activision meanwhile is upping the ante on Pay to WIn in COD: Infinite Warfare, and adding more and more microtransactions to Destiny. Looks like I won't be buying any of Activisions games until they revert.

I would prefer they pulled back, but in an ironic twist, I also wish they'd just cut the foreplay and give me CoD: Online already.
Their way is like inching into Lake Erie in the middle of September; yeah, it may be 90 degrees in the air, but that water is loving cold. Just splash in and get it over with.

Why were you charged $129 for that. Are those Australian moon dollars or something? I thought it was $100 usd.

Canadian money, but we're nearing parity with the Australian dollar soon!

Just to give you an example, IW by itself costs around 90$ with taxes.

I had this exact thought today.

I may play some space CoD, but basically I'm all in for MWR. Although I'm not sure I would have bought it if I didn't get the discount from Amazon Prime plus having a 10 buck credit from them. 55 bucks for the game is a lot more palatable than 85.

I'm also excited to be able to air burst C4 again.

I'm pretty sure you're right. I remember them saying they wouldn't be ready for launch but that they would be included. Besides, dlc 1 for iw won't be ready until February I'm sure.

If they could make the season pass free for the PC it would be great. It's impossible to play those maps outside a few weeks of their release.

Also having a rotating mode of the day where you get more XP so anything other than TDM is populated. I'm stunned they still haven't done this already but hey who cares about anything other than metacritic and microtransactions?

I still can't believe I'm paying $80 for a ten year old game. By paying $80, I mean that I'm trading in poo poo I just don't play any more so I'm only shelling out $10 at most. :patriot:

What I played of the IW mp beta was hot garbage and reminded me of exactly why I got rid of BlOps3 so soon. Too bad I can't just trade that disc back in and keep MWR.

blops 3 is the best next gen cod so far. I still think blops 1 is the best overall cod game.

MW2 is the most broken and I loving love it.


Edit: I'm gonna admit it, I got the season pass because they said you get more daily rewards if you own it.

Yes I'm terrible at good purchasing decisions.

Oh man are we finally going to get DLC that's actually worth the price content wise?

Assuming of course they are going to be adding in new guns,new maps for IW,possibly more of the COD 4 maps for Remaster, on top whatever they are going to do with Zombies?

Sounds like a lot of content for 15 at least.

Uh...what? I was agreeing with Javes that I remember hearing something about the remaining cod4 maps being free for everyone who owns mwr. The second part was to say that they likely wouldn't pull a "pay-for" since the first dlc for infinite warfare won't be released until February and the remaining cod4 maps are being released next month.

But regardless, the dlc will assuredly not be worth the money. Blops didn't add guns. It was just 1 map for zombies and 4 maps (mostly not great maps at that) for mp.

The popular opinion, from what I've noticed, is that most find the character to be bland as all hell and incredibly boring. I actually like this way more than the black ops 3 model but if you saw my taste in movies and games you'd notice I am a massive edgelord.
Faceless mercenary that just does his/her job and being good at it is what I find cool in a character, even if they're silent and featureless.

I could have swore the DLC packs added some extra guns as well in Blops 3? Or am i thinking of Advanced Warfare again?

Well if that's the case then i suppose it's business as usual :v:

Extra guns were added by patches, but owning a specific DLC pack was not a requirement to get earn them from the slot machine supply drops.
