Quick question about preloading.

I won't have the funds for this until Saturday but am I ok to preorder and download this now? When will it actually take payment?

Sorry if it's a stupid question but I don't want £55 taking from my account before it's released.

 

[BruiserBear]

Pre-load for the PS4 is live!

Well it didn't start automatically, I manually went to the store, navigated to the game and saw the download option pop up

You chose the right background color.

 

[Newlove]

When is the review embargo? Monday?

 

[Goomba64]

Any streams kickin around?

a 360 one

 

[Alkastelca]

Those of you who are preloading did you get pre-order dlc ?

Wait where is my pre-order DLC ?
I bought it on US store.

welp ! : (

Sorry if it's a stupid question but I don't want £55 taking from my account before it's released.

Well the email I got said that it will charge my wallet on 3rd November, although the PS Store at the time of pre-order said that I should expect the charge anywhere between 2nd and 3rd November

You chose the right background color.

It's the AW theme itself

Those of you who are preloading did you get pre-order dlc ?

It's downloading two separate files for what I think is the DLC apart from the update file...

Another Friend of mine who has a US account doesn't seem to show anything else on download except the game and the update...

Depends on the platform.

I think it does only draw the money on release on PS3. Dont know how it is on other platforms

 

[Northeastmonk]

I started the preload and I had to go into my library in order to start it. I had picked for it to preload automatically, but it makes you choose which one you want to play first and which one you want downloading in the background.

I had to go into Related Items to install the DLC stuff FYI.

Those of you who are preloading did you get pre-order dlc ?

Scroll onto the icon of AW and go down to Related Items. Click on it and there are little icons to the side of your DLC.

Click each check box.

I'm on PS4. I think it should be ok if I have the funds in my wallet first thing on Saturday. I just want to get it downloaded asap so it's done.

 

[Mechanized]

Pre-ordered! Days off booked! Can't wait!!!!

In my Related Items section for Advanced Warfare there are the 3 pieces of DLC for CoD Ghosts that I have purchased. The preorder stuff for AW is completely missing.

 

[Lucifon]

When is the review embargo? Monday?

I believe Activision haven't actually told publications yet... so maybe they let them know 24/12 hours before. I'd assume Monday based on that last few years.

 

[pszet0]

I'm a little confused with what they mean by custom weapons that you get with the Day Zero edition? Does this mean you won't get the ak12 and crossbow unless you have the day zero edition?

 

[Northeastmonk]

In my Related Items section for Advanced Warfare there are the 3 pieces of DLC for CoD Ghosts that I have purchased. The preorder stuff for AW is completely missing.

You purchased the Digital Pro Edition or the The Day Zero Edition?

If it matters I preloaded the campaign first.

Nothing. Under releated items there are only two items season pass and destiny shaders.

I bought regular day zero edition (59.99$) .

 

[Northeastmonk]

Nothing. Under related items there are onyl two items season pass and destiny shaders.

I bought regular edition.

Day Zero Edition is the regular edition that I bought. I just recently upgraded to the Digital Pro which was $10 cheaper. It says here that you get the advanced arsenal, which I have in my Add-Ons.

That's what I did. I had to preload it (campaign first) from my Library. Then I went and bought the digital pro edition and then it was in my related items menu.

 

[nhlducks35]

I think I'll buy retail since I have GCU at Best Buy and they're giving a $10 certificate

 

[Stranger In The Alps]

If it matters I preloaded the campaign first.

Day Zero.

 

[Northeastmonk]

Day Zero.

Does your AW icon in your library say anything in the small box? Mine says "4 Add-Ons" beneath the title.

 

[kuYuri]

I'm a little confused with what they mean by custom weapons that you get with the Day Zero edition? Does this mean you won't get the ak12 and crossbow unless you have the day zero edition?

The way I understand it, the AK12G that is unlocked with Day Zero isn't the regular AK12 you get via ranking up in multiplayer, but rather a version of the AK12 that you can unlock via the random loot crates that you receive when playing multiplayer matches.

In AW, there are the normal weapons and then there are custom variations of those weapons you can unlock that have slightly different stats compared to those normal versions of the weapon.

 

[Alkastelca]

Maybe dlc is not up yet for day zero editions ? But it's there for digital pro editions.

Does your AW icon in your library say anything in the small box? Mine says "4 Add-Ons" beneath the title.

No there are no addons.

 

[Stranger In The Alps]

Does your AW icon in your library say anything in the small box? Mine says "4 Add-Ons" beneath the title.

Yeah, it says "3 Add--Ons", but then when i look at them in related items, they are CoD Ghosts Add Ons! The game even gave me the option to download my CoD Ghosts DLC when I started my preload. It's really confusing.

 

[Northeastmonk]

Yeah, it says "3 Add--Ons", but then when i look at them in related items, they are CoD Ghosts Add Ons! The game even gave me the option to download my CoD Ghosts DLC when I started my preload. It's really confusing.

Is your Ghosts DLC already installed? Is it priming older DLC before it can download new DLC? That sounds like a typo if it's under AW. Did you check to see if the sizes were the same as mine?

 

[The Elite]

I am not home now but I believe I have five addons on mine. One of them just happens to be the COD: Ghosts FreeFall map. Yeah, I think they fucked something up.

 

[Big Chungus]

whats up with the different download sizes?

Some of the screenshots above show a 40GB download while a few others are 7GB.

 

[Portugeezer]

How do I download the full game? It asked if I wanted to download Campaign or MP, I downloaded MP which is about 7GB, Campaign never downloaded.

 

[LtOrange]

I am really on the fence about getting the Digital Pro Edition or Day Zero. I would love to have more maps to play with, but being on PS4 makes it so I don't get them for a really long time. How are the CoD map packs usually?

 

[Stranger In The Alps]

Ghosts DLC is not currently installed, nor is the game. It looks like this:

 

[Dysun]

Anyone know if the Steam preload is up?

 

[Northeastmonk]

Ghosts DLC is not currently installed, nor is the game. It looks like this:

That makes no sense. I'd call them up and ask. I played Ghosts on PC, so I don't know what it means when two games collide.

My other suggestion from what I've mentioned would to check data management, but that's a collection of the download itself.

A thing we have encountered lately is that sometimes the download is found within the Store.

Since AW, that data management screen has changed. I don't know if will look different once things are downloaded, but it's only given partial information at the moment.

Destiny looks like this:

Data management = System Storage Management

How does the day zero stuff work for people who pre-ordered in store?

 

[Diablo Rosso]

How does the day zero stuff worm for people who pre-ordered in store?

A code in the box I imagine.

 

[Jrmint]

Anyone's Amazon ship yet? I very rarely do Amazon release day delivery, does it usually work out?

 

[Portugeezer]

Amazon have always been reliable for day 1 for me.

If you're going to buy CoD from PSN then I wouldn't pay £55 from the UK store. What I'd do is get it from the US store by buying PSN codes from the US Amazon.

 

[On Demand]

How does the day zero stuff work for people who pre-ordered in store?

How does it work for people who can't pre order the limited edition in store and have to buy it on release day? I don't get bestbuy.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

Are the preorder weapons only going to available to people who preorder?

Also in some of the multiplayer trailers we saw a gun that fired a red laser, is that a preorder gun or can it be unlocked?

 

[bigbaldwolf86]

If you're going to buy CoD from PSN then I wouldn't pay £55 from the UK store. What I'd do is get it from the US store by buying PSN codes from the US Amazon.

The money is coming from the Game loyalty share payout which means I can either buy it from Game or get UK PSN credit and buy it from there.

 

[H3xum]

a 360 one

This dude and his gum chewing. Holy crap. It makes me want to vom.

 

[JackLongRod]

If you wanted the psychical editon you would have had to order online since you couldn't preorder instore. They're sold out now though

 

[SilentFlyer]

Has the pre-load started for EU also or is it just US currently?

 

[kuYuri]

a 360 one

The game looks pretty good on 360 so far based on the stream.

 

[SilentFlyer]

Those pre-loading the game, has Sony charged you already or not?

 

[TheCanisDirus]

This dude and his gum chewing. Holy crap. It makes me want to vom.

I thought i was the only one... i muted that shit and minimized the window instantly so i couldnt see/hear it... *shudders*

 

[M.W.]

360 version looked decent

 

[Parablank]

wow the ttk looks really improved from the earlier builds of the game. guess im going to preorder this on steam later .-.

i hope this is better than ghosts

 

[Duxxy3]

The TTK online looks a lot higher than what we saw from the lan/preview build. Almost even with Black Ops 2.

 

[Hidden One]

I want to share play this to see if I want it

Only reason I don't like Sledgehammer is because it seems they're taking alot of stuff from Treyarchs games. A guy who was streaming even said the MP looks alot like BLOPS 2 graphics and color schemes and now they're evening adding Zombies when that's been Treyarchs thing? I bet Treyarch is mad at this guys on the low.
