PS4 pro vs scorpio is iiterally going to be xbone vs ps4 in power parity. The latter for both are roughly 1.5x more powerful than the former. I wonder if the scorpio will beat out the Pro for leading platform

Might be more a case of native 4K with some better textures / effects vs checkerboard.
No biggie really I mean infinite warfare looked amazing on the pro. That said though, would love to see it on the Scorpio!

Playing multiplayer fps with 60fps only lol
I don't know what version y'all played, but framerate is pretty rock solid on last-gen versions and XB1. Of course if you pull off tons of explosions and other alpha effects, it can drop, but that's rare and can happen with any game.
Only versions that could exhibit persistent issues were PS4 (and Wii U) since those versions were not well optimized considering IW had very little time spent on PS4 and to XB1 dev kits. Wii U version was done by Treyarch, so that's on them

do not tempt fate do not contrain Wonder Woman's thighs do not do not
Well there really only one option.
The PC version will undoubtedly be superior.
But between Scorp and Pro, the Scorp is gonna be king shit.
The devs would have to be lazy as shit to not atleast put a Native 4K res-boost, dont think assets will be vastly different.
And didnt MS say they are looking at pretty much every XB1 game to ensure boosts for Scorpio users.
So with games coming out close to or righ after launch i dont see them NOT giving Scorpio users a decent boost.
On Topic
Weird that i actually want to get this game, last COD i owned was Advanced Warfare(sold it after disappointment in XB1 MP).
Gave up on COD pretty much then.
But this looks pretty good so far.

It wouldn't surprise me if one of the DLCs in the season pass had some pacific theater stuff,
It might be just maps/weapons/faction (Japanese).
That said I agree on the SP front, there is a lot you can do in terms of SP in the pacific.

Prestige Is Key released a video talking about something that others noticed. I surely hadn't but it's interesting.
The discovery being that there might be some sort very light 'exo-dash' in the game. Cause when you watch the off-screen gameplay, the player does seemingly 'dash' to the right. You see the gun lower just a little bit when he does it. While it's not as strong as Exo-dash. It's possible we might be able to make small dashes to the left and right.
Now as he says it may be nothing. Some think it may be a crouch to stand but to me it doesn't look like that. Personally I'm fine with it if that is what they add. Sort of like having your character side step quickly into cover. So it won't be viable to dodge gun fire but to hopefully get that one extra step into cover. Which considering there is no health regen in the SP, could mean the difference between life and death.

To me it looks like he just crouched while moving to the right, and then stood back up in quick succession.
If it was Treyarch, it would be called WaW2.

I hope the Omaha Beach mission is good - like really, really good and very lengthy, with lots to do after the machine gun nests and bunkers are cleared out [similar to the Point Du Hoc assault in COD2, where you had to sweep the town directly behind it and hold the road].

They probably don't want it to seem too much like the last WWII Call of Duty, World at War, which focused on the Pacific and Eastern fronts

While both fronts/theaters were crucial, unfortunately for most, the Pacific Theater just doesn't hold the same kind of intrigue as the European Front. Both were important, but if you really look at the history and compulsion of them both, the European Front was far more important because it dealt with directly decimating the greater evil - Hitler and his Nazi regime.
The horrific atrocities wrought by Hitler's regime are woefully legendary. The Holocaust was an attempt at a genocide of a portion of the human race - not to mention his forceful invasion of cities, towns and lands - it was total evil and thankfully the Allies were total good.
The Pacific Theater is inspiring and every bit as dangerous as the European Campaign; but there's just something more mysterious and awe-inspiring about going after the greater evil, the "master of puppets", so to speak.
There was far less OSS involvement within the Pacific Theater - it wasn't as much cloak-and-dagger as it was simply decoding transmissions and most of that was handled by the Windtalkers. If you look at the European Theater, there was so much going on - it was like an early James Bond film with a global battle at stake.

This is the first Call of Duty game I've been interested in since 2007. Not sure I'll end up purchasing, but I'm certainly intrigued.
My dream follow-up to this game would be an entire campaign focused on a single Red Army soldier during the war.

Have you seen "Enemy At The Gates"?
One of my favorite parts of the original Call of Duty was the Volga River crossing, which the opening scene of "Enemy At The Gates" was based on.

If you're including the Soviet Union among the Allies - ehhhh ....
Even the other Allies had some questionable policies, such as the United States and the forceful internment of Japanese-Americans.

Women in MP is fine - everybody wins.
Adding women into the SP campaign where there were not any [*historically* based on the 1st Infantry Division's actual progression/journey] simply for the sake of inclusion is not historically accurate, which is something Sledgehammer Games has said they are vehemently striving for.
I'm totally down for it in MP, however.
Do we know if they are adding women to both SP and MP or just MP?

Winning a war is everyone's agenda that participates in it.
Killing is sadly a part of war - the atrocities that were committed against the Jewish community in WWII are unforgivable and go far beyond the usual horrors of war.

I'm not trying to cause any controversy with this, but I'm a World War II buff and I've been going back through all of my files, historical articles - both on the internet and in books - movies and even documentaries - old & new - and I cannot find a single instance of the 1st Infantry Division ever meeting up with any African-American platoon of soldiers.
Just for reference, here's a quote from historynet.com:
Link: http://www.historynet.com/african-a...ision-fought-in-italy-during-world-war-ii.htm
If you read the entire article, there is no evidence that this specific [and the only documented] African-American platoon ever left the Italian Theatre of operations.
There is no evidence that I've come across that suggests or even proves that there was any African-American platoon deployed on the European Front at the same time as the 1st Infantry Division's European campaign.
I remember hearing Glen Schofield and Michael Condrey mentioning during the reveal and in subsequent interviews that there have been new facets of World War II that have been revealed recently that shed some light onto new aspects of WWII history - implying that the 1st Infantry Division came across an African-American platoon of soldiers, as depicted in their forthcoming game - but it's nowhere referenceable on the internet, nor in any books, documentaries or obtainable history that anyone else but Sledgehammer Games has access to, apparently - even recently.
I really hope that they're not just adding this aspect into the Call Of Duty: WWII single player campaign simply for inclusion sake; because I would really like to think that this was an actual, historically accurate occurrence, both due to it sounding awesome and also expanding the narrative of a WWII game above the predetermined norm.
Unless it's some sort of *flashback* from one of the 1st Infantry Division soldiers, reminiscing about their involvement in the initial Italian campaign - where historically this meet-up actually could have taken place - I don't see how this could be realistically included in the European Theater of operations from D-Day onwards, as depicted by the actual, historically accurate journey of the 1st Infantry Division.

They did mention that points in time in the game will take place prior to 1944 as we see more about Daniels. So we could see events from the Italian campaign or earlier. Also totally possible for Sledgehammer to employ creative license and create a story that fits the narrative they wish to make for it's broader audience.
I mean Call of Duty 1/UO/2 aren't 100% historically accurate and neither is WaW. However they both do a good job of conveying aspects of the war that are meant to be meaningful to the players experiencing said events fictionally tailored or not.

The devs have stated they are striving for historical accuracy in their narrative of the 1st Infantry Division, so I'm expecting it to follow a fictional platoon in the 1st Infantry Division as they make the actual historical journey made my the real division. We'll have to see if some of these things are flashbacks or not.

So I got my beta code from Amazon. I clicked PlayStation and entered in my code. But it didn't ask my PSN info or anything. It said it went successful... but I didn't enter in my PSN info.
Did something go wrong/will I get the beta still?

You're fine dude. All that matters is that it knows it has to generate a PSN code down the line when the beta happens, it doesn't need your PSN info for that.
