Everything is Coming Soon with IW.
I do have that Kendall... Didn't ever think of pack-a-punching it... Hm...
It's pretty nice!

Anyone playing any zombies tonight? I actually want to complete the easter egg for once and randoms ain't getting it done.

The only coming soon I care about is Modern Warfare Remastered.

I hope assault rifle and LMG nerfs are coming soon so SMGs and shotguns will have a chance to compete. Slower sprint-out times, folks. That's not all SMGs and shotguns need, but it's a damn good start. It'd certainly take down the RAW a notch if it couldn't be used like an SMG. Reducing ADS times for assault rifles and LMGs would also make SMGs a more ideal choice for CQB playstyles.

Sure, the RAW could use a nerf, but SMGs are very powerful especially after the recent buff to aim assist range. The Erad and HVR absolutely destroy right now and are top tier guns. However, it is quite infuriating to get killed by an NV4 up close while using an SMG.

I'm just saying they need a reduction to their sprint-out and ADS times. For assault rifles, the ADS nerf shouldn't be huge. But LMGs shouldn't be able to snap to their sights as quick as an SMG or pistol. That's just nonsense "balance".

Seriously, where the hell is the Banshee in single player. Its supposed to be a random spawn weapon for shotgun enemies, but every single time I have selected a mission from mission select, it never appears. Its the last god damn weapon I have missing :|

It appears in a weapons locker in one mission, IIRC. The one I had trouble with was the HVR.

I must be crazy but I really enjoyed the single player campaign this time.

Nah you're ok. It's pretty much regarded as one of the best in the series.

So call of duty noob here no idea about the series really.
Can zombie mode be played co-op online with friends?

Yes indeed. You can also have two players in local play and fill in the other two spots online.

Bingo. Bombstoppers are the PHD Flopper with all of the PHD and none of the Flopper. Pair those Quickies and Tuff 'Nuff and you've got yourself an unstoppable loadout... until you run out of ammo. Four players taking turns on that in the EE can make the SetiCom segments fly right by.

I'm liking the Dropzone game mode, It's Hardpoint that people actually want to play!

How likely is it for IW to get single player DLC? As in, new missions.
Also, is COD: Advance Warfare worth £10-£15? I would only play the campaign. I loved Infinite Warfare but I hadn't played any COD since MW2.

Whilst it would be nice there is pretty much 0% chance of single player DLC. Activision know the audience only stays for the multiplayer. If they ever did do it in the future it would probably be something they bang on about well in advance of launch.
The Advance Warfare campaign is pretty well regarded and obviously there are still people playing online if you wanted to dabble in that too. I personally prefer Ghosts campaign to AW.
I'm wondering if a good combo is the Kendall and the HVR - Gemini.
Edit: Managed to get to the third Seti-Com this time. Got overwhelmed and died... Need a sentry or two for that.
Hey all, so after Y2Kev's post comparing IW to Mass Effect, I decided it was time to play my first CoD since Ghosts. I grabbed it from Redbox and have only done a couple story missions and a handful of side missions but goddamn, I am really impressed. Hoping to get an answer to a question, though.
I'm digging this enough to purchase it and given that the Legacy Edition seems to be on sale everywhere, I figure I might as well grab that so I can replay MW, which I haven't done in years. I've read that on XB1, both games are included on the disc, so there's no code to be redeemed (though some kind of unlock download is required.)
Just to be 100% before I blow my month's gaming budget, I assume this means that I can buy a used copy and be able to play MW:R, right?
Thanks y'all.

There's been one Call of Duty game released in the last ten years to get additional singleplayer content, and that was Modern Warfare 3. And those were technically just co-op Spec Ops missions.
Gemini are powerful in the early rounds, but not great for headshots in the later rounds. You'll burn through your ammunition really quickly starting at roughly round 20 or so.
Honestly at this point I'm just trying to complete the Easter egg. Shit is tough.

Nope. There is still a code needed for the initial install of MWR, and then you need the disc to play.

Was that a wild Kevin Smith!?
Yip - he's tweeted to confirm (although the link he had has vanished)

Looks good and I wonder if you could combine things in later DLC , so we have The Hoff / Smith / + 2 others ?
Most likely. And like Hoff, you can probably play Smith once you complete the EE.
I made a thread. About the DLC, like I did with Zombies in Spaceland and BO3's Zombies DLC. Will update it with any more info we get. Probably also to discuss the Stream.

Man though. Were the credits necessary IW? I think this has passed BO2 on my favorite Cod campaign list (under 4 oc) . This doesn't feel like a cash grab. Interstellar the game aside. The space sections remind me of Star fox. Damn good all around.
The zombie mode is also damn good.

Ugh, that reminds me of one thing I don't like about what they've been doing with variants. Many of the weapons have weaknesses that are too harsh and could do with a buff. Instead of doing that at a base gun level, they add new variants to "solve" those problems. R3K Spearhead (reduced burst delay), KBS-Longbow Big Brother & Harbinger (minimap stays while ADS & faster rechamber), Rack-9 Lance (tighter spread while ADS) Hailstorm Thunder (reduced burst delay and auto burst) and so on and so forth.
Now I'm imagining something like a Trinity Rocket variant that makes the streak feel more consistent, rather than just changing some of its functionality (don't highlight players who have spawn protection, for one) to make it better at the base level.
It's a really poor way to go about buffing weaker weapons and equipment.

If you buy the Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare Legacy Edition today, is MW remastered then still available? How does that work? It's not on the disc, right?
MW Remastered isn't a limited time thing, it's just not included with the basic version of Infinite Warfare. Legacy Edition should get you it fine. I'm not sure about it being on the disc though, 'cause I bought mine digital. I think it might be a code you redeem on the store.

It's on the disc on the XB1 version and a separate download for PS4. Both versions have a code to unlock it though.
New update out.
Over 1gb.
Seems to fix some Camos. (Noticed the flags looked a lot better)
They added the menu selection for Combat Records and Leaderboards although you still can't click them.
They also added a medals menu so you can see what medals you have and how many times you have gotten said medal and even how many medals you have total.
Also they added Hyper Team Deathmatch which reduces cool-down on payloads. So good mode probably to get those payload challenges/mission team objectives.

Pumped about this. I've been at a stalemate with Mission Teams for a while, but enjoyed working towards ranking 50. If I can get some MKll out of the deal now, that's even better.
Should be noted that the 50+ levels will take some time... Over 20k per level. I hope the amount of salvage you get per level is a lot (250 ~ 500).
Also when you pause the game, you can see how much exp you need to level. Small thing, but I like that.
