it looks rad on the ps4 pro

you see it's like the matrix. every year you all reset with the same arguments as last year

it drives a poor old broken brain like me crazy, as i can't really tell the difference between this and other cods. Not that it's perfect, I think every cod needs a few large open maps and they've been not doing that since like MW2. one day maybe ill play a good map again

the zombies map is cool

the game looks rad.. did i say that?

Titanfall can codes were not made for filthy two-can casuals. You need to go for the cases, bro.

But just to elaborate on my four word shitpost, my impression so far of Infinite Warfare has been a very collective meh. There is something about this game that I am just not feeling at all. It feels like a less polished, weirdly unfun, poorly balanced and ugly version of Black Ops 3. My hope is that this is all stuff they can fix up in the coming months, but I'm not optimistic.

I played MWR a couple days ago and really liked it, but goon enthusiasm for that game seems to be lower than I anticipated.

Titanfall 2 on the other hand is legitimately amazing. It is everything i wanted out of a second Titanfall game; same core gameplay loop with more multiplayer content. Think I'll be sticking to this game for the immediate future. On PC, of course :thumbsup:

on a more serious note with the game. Its alot like Blops 3 was in the start. a bit buggy with what feels like it wants to be a good game. alot of things feel very close to being good but just barely missing the mark. My personal favorite weapon class is inconsistent to the point that when it works how i want, Its really loving awesome. but when it doesnt, It really is like a nail in my dick hole. As with every other cod i've played, Its exactly what i wanted, The same exact game with a new filled playerbase.

How would the dog wear goggles and even more than that, who makes the goggles?


i am having fun with it, to the point i switched from playing a ton of titanfall to mostly just playing this. I feel like there's more depth and detail in your loadouts and all the unlocks and everything. Titanfall is pretty shallow, you can unlock everything but the camos super fast.

people bitch about the different quality guns but they don't do very much. There's a couple of the super rare epic ones that are actually better than the base gun, but most just have minor poo poo.

Reactive Armor in this game is the poo poo. I win so many gunfights I don't deserve to win.

The maps are really starting to grow on me. They don't seem to follow the 3 lane format as much as BO3's maps did.

But then they can't crowd out the RNG on their supply drops with gestures. :haw:

Anyway, wow. The final act of the campaign takes a bit of a sharp turn.

From noble heroes fighting a almost one-sided war, it becomes a bunch of morons led by a inept, suicidal fuckwit. I would say take a shot something stupid or predictable happens, but I don't want to be responsible for deaths.

Or maybe playing too many vidya games has turned me into a psychopath finally, and I shouldn't have been laughing and rolling my eyes most of the time.

Oh, and a fun tidbit not everyone might pick up when they go to have a beer during credits, Brian Bloom does the voice of Reyes. He also wrote the script. No wonder why everyone rushes to suck off the protaganist moreso than usual.

Ending spoiler - I honestly breathed a sigh of relief when Reyes died. 'HEY GUYS, INSTEAD OF ESCAPING TO FIGHT ANOTHER DAY, LET'S DO A SUICIDE RUN! :downs:'

This is how you communicate with a fellow intelligence: you hurt it, you keep on hurting it, until you can distinguish the posts from the screams.
Reyes is a comical fuckup whose decisions constantly backfire (lol @ the outcome of his big plan to 'start cutting throats') but he at least has a complete narrative arc in which he realizes that his constant attempts to save people are just slowing the bleeding and he'd better try to get everyone killed on purpose to complete a mission, instead of by accident.

The parade of 'hi commander I'm a character' *dies instantly* got pretty ridiculous.

Comically enough this game actually argues that the guy who randomly shoots his own troops is a better qualified commander who the protagonist must learn to emulate.

I can't tell if the game is aware of how stupid it is, or not. It kind of started off as a 'meh, not too bad' and dropped to 'dumb even for a video game' level of stupid.

The entire final act is triggered by the dumbest plan ever. Not to mention there's a huge problem with it - Captain Jon Snow already knows his STOP THE GUNS plan failed. They were broadcasting it on the loving TV.

If they spin out IW into a franchise, they better have some higher-up in his organization just outright take the piss out of Captain JS for having a superweapon and failing so drat hard next game. It might not do too well anyway, it'll be World at War remastered by then, seeing as MW2 & MW3 will be in 2017 & 2018.

He'd probably be a bit more biased if his rank was lower, if how he treats his own troops was standard for the entire army. :laffo:

So Throwback has a glitch where if you are piloting an APEX when halftime happens with a nuke weapon equipped, you can die in the next round, and earn the nuke with only a 9 killstreak.

It only works on that map for some reason.

I like how they manage to actually capture the Olympus Mons then immediately use it on a suicide rush. Like holy shot you just killed their commander and took their ship. Parade his body across Geneva and turtle up whole you rebuild.

If you check the map, you'll notice your own people are on both sides. Working as intended; it's trying to flip, but can't.

Next time, tell those idiots not to pass the bus.

Also, it should be obvious that Bog is a very bad map for a spawn system that requires them to be out of line of sight.

I've been using the shotgun to good success on frozen, the space station map and throwback but everything else is too wide and vertical which really sucks since I got the orange shotgun that gibs people in melee as like my first 30 key pop.

Black Ops 3 grew on me to the point I nearly got 100%. Stopped at 86%, the small PC player base and faster reactions made a lot of the challenges a pain in the rear end. The only areas it really missed the mark was Treyarch's obsession with three lanes. They can design good maps but it starts to get old.

Here the map design has limited sight lines, many entrance/exits and few open areas, low ADS speed so SMGs are top pick. Perhaps I should be thankful shotguns are too inconsistent and short ranged to be worth using. I doubt I will ever see a nuke killstreak used in IW because it's so hard to stay alive that long. There's a lot of very questionable balance on variants and rig perks and gently caress knows what we will find out when they data mine it.
