I'm more excited than I expected to be for CoD WW2. Also do you guys play Blops 3 or IW more?

Mostly BLOPS but that's because people are dumb and continue to ignore the superior IW.

They did the only thing that could get me into COD: Flung it into space. (They almost had it last time with the addition of DOGGO!) Gameplay for COD has always been simple and fun, but it's always been surrounded by dudebro toxicity so I've stayed far away from it.

Is this game worth it for the single player story?

I mean it's fine but if you want to play an innovative sci-fi single-player FPS, go buy Titanfall 2 instead.

As someone who generally does not like single player FPS experiences, this is good advice.

Titanfall 2 was on deep discount recently and I figured I may as well pick it up as the first one was pretty good but suffered from the "multiplayer is campaign" stuff. Single player and multiplayer are a lot of fun if not a bit hectic, it doesn't suffer from the "let me hang out in this corner and build a score streak instead of using all the tools the developers gave me" syndrome CoD has been seeing since AW. The only knock against it is that the grunts/SPECTERS distract from player vs player encounters far too much.

You know, I thought about going back to Blops 1 and 2 since I have a 360 and backwards compatibility poo poo is just a Microsoft-branded 360 emulator, apparently.

Should I just stick with the future, since modded servers are a possible thing?

Some 360 games actually run better on X1, plus you can use all the OS features on it, like video recording.

The modded servers aren't that common, especially with the higher player counts.

JacsNoodleBoy still advocates for IW, he got some people to play the other day, and I see iTrapp (I think that's a goon) on there pretty regularly, but there's been a consistent (roughly every night) group playing Blops 3.

Yeah I still think IW is the better game but it's an uphill battle. At least in IW i can craft what I want (not that I need since I've had some good drops), i never got anything "great" in BLOPS3 so I just cheese it with a Brecci most of the time.

I will say that the new DLC maps are genuinely good and super fun to play in. Also we're starting to get some nice winner's circle taunts:

Not to mention decent gestures in general. I still swear to my stupid RC-8 Toy gesture.

But still, I give both games a shot. Except when IW's multiplayer gets me on tilt, and there's no good contracts.

I will say though, I do prefer IW Zombies over Blops 3 Zombies. Something about it feeling a lot better in a few ways.

So uh, yeah. Contracts in IW this week are... not as good? 10 ground scorestreak kills and 25 payload kills. For 15k Sabre Team Seven MTXP and a spiffy new Taunt hack.

Wait what's the Cerby equivalent in this game again.

There isn't really anything like the Cerberus. I use the vulture (like the talon) and the warden (like the wraith) and UAV.

For the ground I guess you could try the sentry, though iirc it's kinda crap

IW buffed the sentry, and then nerfed it after it became OP in hardcore so its trash.

I'd preorder CoD:WWII right this second if Sledgehammer confirmed that they're going back to Treyarch's gritty, grindhouse-style presentation and music of WaW.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeWUjNh4d7g

Little-known fact: the gory exploitation film aesthetic of WaW was the reason they thought of including a Zombies mode in the first place. It's a real shame they ditched that and kept the zombies instead of the other way around.

It bears repeating that Treyarch accomplished the whole "hyperviolent 70s/80s style exploitation flick but in WWII" schtick earlier, and better, than Quentin Tarantino.

It's a shame they dropped the Campaign dismemberment and extreme gore from WaW and BO1 in latter entries. It was much better than the forced hitmarkers they have now.

WaW's MP was the only one with gore IIRC. There's some full-on gibbing in later games, but nothing that actually made me wince like watching my Marine get turned into a pile of bleeding stumps.
