On Series X you can select specific components of the game to download. Base game, multiplayer, ray tracing data etc. You don't have to download the campaign for example.

It's weird I just had one option for download. The main game and some content packs, but no further description.

That said after watching the first two or three missions I am super super hyped for single player. It reminds of Space Cod in concept, just further improvement and refined.

The options to download are not in the Store interface, it's under storage management.

Yep that's where I eventually saw that. Still not sure why it appears to be so small....perhaps because I already had Warzone?

Which part is small?

Really sucks that they're sticking slavishly to the release day and hour. I got Black Ops 2 a day or two early back in 2012 and was able to play no problem.

Does Ray Tracing work on this? The option on my XSX is greyed out and tells me I need to disable 4k 120hz which is also greyed out. I have the file required installed so maybe in missing something?

It is bugged as gently caress on the Series X. It changes my settings and the game is different each time it boots. Half the time it actually runs about 20 frames per second, even the menus are choppy, until it randomly works normally.

At least it's not hard crashing the entire system like it was on release.

I'm not entirely sure that Ray tracing even exists. It feels like we have hit a level of visual quality that you could just tell me that the next tentpole game had quadratic dynamic light shifting and I'd just say "sweet" and believe you entirely.

It's just ray-traced shadows in this game. It's definitely an improvement but multiplayer is so fast-paced that you'll likely see more of a difference with 120Hz instead, if your display supports it.

You know, I haven't played that map at all in the past two weeks. I usually only drop in for 3 or 4 games each day, but you'd expect at least one of them would be Alpine...

Exactly. Also, how do you fire the cruise missiles in Dirty Bomb? The only kill I can get is the one you pilot yourself.

The new Fireteam map is nice to look at, though I haven't fully decided whether or not I like it (that loving large tower with the multiple levels for snipers to hang out overlooking more than one bomb point sure was a decision). There's apparently an exploit where you can get into the geometry and shoot anyone who gets to the B point when it's on top of that giant statue. Hooray.

Twice, unintentionally, I ended up walking around the sky. I didn't have frag grenades so couldn't take my own life, and I had to wait out the rest of the match being a Skywalker.

Volte posted:

The only time I don't run Flak Jacket is when I'm using a sniper rifle since I want a SMG or shotgun in my secondary slot, so I need Wildcard, and I prioritize Tactical Mask in the first perk slot to make me immune to flashbangs and gas mines. Otherwise it's a no brainer with Perk Greed and yeah, it's insanely OP.

Flak jacket and sniping are really pissing me off at the moment. Why the gently caress is quick scoping/no scoping still a part of this franchise so many years in?

I've been thinking about what the developers could do with all the new processing power of the new consoles, now that they won't be constraints by the shite Jaguar cores in last generation machines.

Any thoughts on what they might do with Call of Duty?

An alternate reality would at least be potentially interesting. WW2 has no life left in it for a shooting game. There is no innovation to be found. It will be a waste of time, smothered by its setting.

What in the name of good gently caress is left of the Second World War to use for a game that hasn't been done for 20 years now?

I mean, CoD:WW2 was a course correction for the unfair hate given to AW, BlOps 3 and IW. This is just laziness.

Fucks sake. I was hoping I had a port setting wrong or something.

The multiplayer reveal actually made me more interested in Vanguard, if they stick to making poo poo up as they go along and have plenty of anachronisms and don't worry about historical accuracy.

I wish they'd go with Advanced Warfare 2. They could even calm down on the boosting stuff but some of the gameplay elements were so fun and I loved the guns. Such a treat after the worst CoD ever, :iiam::iiam:

My suspicion is that it may have had something to do with Cold War getting rushed out by Treyarch since Sledgehammer was briefly removed from the dev cycle, and thus they went with the older engine that they'd used for BO4.

Always wondered why Sledgehammer were moved to this year - what happened?

The Goliath Field Upgrade is a piece of poo poo. It can't go up the stairs and it gets stuck on every piece of geometry. I had to uninstall and reinstall the game to sort out the graphical glitches although some still remain. Think I'll be sitting this year out.

Also, why do some palm leaves blow but not others and why doesn't the wind affect smoke, like some Pennywise thing?

What makes me mad is that people on your team have various accents. So when I hear call outs I don't know who they're for.

Beta extended by 2 days.

Edit: gently caress me. When my character is British and doing his callouts for some killstreaks, his voice switches to a German accent.

To whichever goon likes Fireteam games as their favourite mode but wasn't able to get a game in months, make sure crossplay is enabled.

I got my first Fireteam game in aaaages today by enabling that. I must have switched it off at some point and forgotten. Still takes a long time to get a game but at least it's possible.

Definitely not buying Vanguard after how rough and rushed Cold War is.

Never fear, Sledgehammer Games have had 4 years to work on Vanguard, twice the length of time Treyarch had with Cold War.

Although Vanguard is truly awful.

Looking at Vanguard videos and failing to get interested, I'm thinking Sledgehammer needed to say gently caress it and make Vanguard multiplayer like Zombies with the same aesthetic and all the magic poo poo & ray guns and whatnot. "But muh realism" yeah well instead you're getting another brown-rear end WWII game except with holosights, congrats

That's the problem, that unless you go ridiculously anachronistic, the time period traps you in what you can do. Like the killstreaks, they're just shitter versions of what we've all seen done better.

I really wish Battlefield 2042 was in better shape, so I can get my fun FPS fix, but that thing looks like it needs another year in the oven.
