This was a good post, if this was a real game I might actually play it. However, I'm sure a large company like Activision wouldn't let a name like "Call of Duty (slang for poop)" slip through marketing.

Call of Duty: Scheisse Division.

Would be called Excrement or poo poo Division for the german release.

IW just dropped a patch with two new melee weapons (katana and nunchucks) and some kind of weird dual-mode sticky grenade launcher.

Yeah, I don't get some of this future tech sometimes. Just before this we got like... two different grenade launchers. IT'S THE VENOM-X BOYS.

Soldier -> Dossier -> Faces.

Also some bit of QoL problems I've noticed with the menu so far: mouse wheel scrolling in the menu does not work at all, don't even try it, and also unskippable cutscenes. Haven't gotten some sick gameplay shots yet.

Some balance tweaks for the PC beta, though I don't know if they were pushed in the night or if the beta launched with them. If it's the latter, it didn't make much difference as SMGs were still dominant from the streams I watched. Maybe even more so with the better recoil control for the Waffe on m/kb.

No Garand buff I see. Or is the Garand actually good this time around. Because I remember not liking the handling of the Garand back on PS4 beta.

It also means, that because goons are so much better than anyone else, any goon team with less than six people will get the shittiest newbs the game can match us up with on purpose, because our awesomeness will convince them to buy loot boxes.

imo this is gross and shouldn't even be a player choice. A game about WWII and fighting Nazis, all player actions should be always come down to kill nazis.

Gotta outdo IW's "let's shoot up the airport" mission. Which... how the gently caress is that more palatable than letting some analrapist Nazi do his thing.

But people are dumb and keep uploading to youtube and twitter where it's guaranteed to get taken down in minutes.

Sometimes people are smart and let you download footy.

I downloaded one guy's run through of most of The Final Reich's Quest. I'm convinced it was almost the end because of cutscenes and a big gently caress of monster. And the fact the log said Epilogue in Deutschlandese.

Said guy also found how to get some upgraded Tesla Guns, and another guy mentioned completing Barbossa's Sword with a base Tesla Gun. So more than likely all we gotta do is FIND JAY GOTTA FIND JAY revive Klaus with Barbossa's Sword somehow.

And then there's that interview that shits all over the idea that the ACTUAL Quest was detailed as Objectives from a campaign. They're absolutely or more than likely referring to reviving Klaus/finding something in the Epilogue entry since you don't just have objectives on screen lead to a puzzle boss and a cutscene where something huge happens. Like, face it, you made the hunt for the Quest easy as hell. Don't bullshit us.

Would you believe it isn't that bad getting to the upgrade machine? Ride the sewer ways and push a button near its exit. Do that four times for an underwhelming Pack-a-Punch.

I would not worry about the Tesla Gun it sucks a mean bepis in how bad it is.
