I usually buy all the DLC anyways so it's a good investment for me. It's a bit strange, Normally it's 70 for the game, 50 for season pass.

The only time I ever pre-ordered AND bought season pass was with AW (digital pro$100). I got burned deep. Scarred.
Never again.

It's a preorder, I wouldn't see why not?

Looks like this puts the nail in the coffin for seeing any zombies whatsoever in the beta, too. It's an MP beta through and through - probably for the best really.
Happy to help
You are wonderful, thank you!!

Sorry yeah that link is for the Ireland store so might not work if you are outside of Europe.
Next CoD is from IW.
So it'll be in present day using assets from Ghosts.

Ah, just making sure there wasn't some weird restriction like you have to preorder from certain places or whatever. Mystery solved though!

If it comes out on last gen, I'll probably get it there...just to keep my PS3 alive.
CoD WaW (5) had a beta aswell

Grundle: The Awakening
I'm actually looking forward to a Call of Duty game???
LOL. Watched one of the linked videos from one of the youtubers. I'm going to try to quote exactly:
"there's a killstreak called the wraith which is like the stealth chopper from Black Ops2. You guys are going to LOVE IT - it sounds EXACTLY the same as it did in Black Ops 2. It's awesome". 3 years later.
Rehashing sound effects. We need to hear the explosive sound effects as well. If I'm not mistaken Sledgehammer took them from Black ops 2 as well.

After watching the reveal trailer again, listening to a few more impression vids and thinking about it over night, my hype meter has been on one heck of a roller coaster ride lol
Read a preview of some of the kill streaks that were available and glad to see they're more like Blops 2 and less like AW/Ghosts. I do wish the game's visuals were atleast on par with AW, but right now my copy of AW is sitting on a Bestbuy trade in shelf, while Blops 2 is still getting action, so graphics definitely aren't everything. Overall I trust Treyarch to make a really fun game. I might even go for digital season pass edition if the beta is really good. I never felt buyers remorse with Blops 2 season pass, so it's a pretty safe bet, imo.
Hype meter: 7.5

are you expecting them to redo helicopter and explosion sounds between every release?
Interesting. I haven't really followed these games since mw.
Of course I am. Why in the world wouldn't I expect new sound effects? We're in the future no? Different machines built out of different materials produce different sounds. Do you want same voice overs/expressions as well?
The audio/sound effects of the game are probably more important to the overall immersion of the game than the visuals. It needs to be NEW for every NEW release. This is why so many people feel CoD is recycled.
There's nothing to weigh, contracting a third party studio to handle a port during the final months of development doesn't affect the design or quality of what the primary studio produces in any tangible way as it occurs after a game is effectively made and ready to be ported. There are budgets for ports as well that are separate from the primary studio's budget, not that such a thing is even relevant in the case of COD. The reaction seen on this forum in response to a conjured up rumor that there would be no 360/PS3 port was laughable for this reason - it encapsulates the ignorance of elitist gamers who feel disenfranchised because their favorite series, platform, or developer is, they feel, being "held back" due to the mere existence and continued support of hardware older than their own.

Still can't pull this up. Tried searching for it, too.
I am on web browser, wonder if that matters at all? Looks like you pulled a screenshot from PC anyways.
EDIT - UK only so far - http://charlieintel.com/2015/04/27/...deluxe-edition-revealed-includes-season-pass/
I'm US, so that's probably why I can't see.

Alright placed a preorder for the PC physical copy so I can get a beta code. Gonna try it and then cancel my order to see how it is.
How does Amazon give out Beta codes? Is it via another email, or what?

That was close, how the feck did i forget between yesterday and today?
Anyway, i hope they have more zombie missions.
I want normal wave zombies in addition to this 'campaign', that keeps going around that we haven't seen anything of yet

Indeed, here's a pic if anyone is interested via CI:
Edit:
More zombies is something I can get on board with for sure ^.^

They give you a registration code then you follow the instructions they give you to input it into an activison ID then you wait until the beta starts and activison should send you an email

Has anyone gotten Amazon US Beta codes yet?
The fine print on the COD site says "Limited time only, while Beta codes last, at participating retailers", so it sounds like there's a limited numbers of codes. People have been getting their codes within 48 hours after preordering, but the beta won't be until sometime after E3.
I usually buy the retail copy, and play it for a few months. If I like the base game enough by the time the first DLC pass comes out, I'll get the season pass.

I'm trying to convince my friends to pick this on PS4 instead of Xbox One. Does anyone know how Best Buy pre-orders work? Do I need to pay for the full price or can I put 5 dollars down? I just received a $5 discount code for BestBuy that expires in the next week.
shanafan
Member
$5 is the minimum deposit, so you are good. I am pretty sure that discount can be used, since it goes towards the cost of the game.

I think this might be another case when beta codes are limited (like Titanfall), but when the demand is so huge for it, they just make the beta free for everyone eventually. We'll see.

If you need cannon-fodder to help convince them, the game is confirmed 1080p 60fps on PS4 but they've declined comment on the Xbox One resolution, so you could argue it's possible the game will end up being 900p upscaled/similar on XB1.
I got mine about 20-30 minutes ago.

If you preorder online I'm pretty sure they'll put a hold on your card for the full amount and then clear it. Then you will be charged the full amount when it ships/arrives at the store(for in-store pickup). If you preorder in store all you need is five dollars and then the rest when you go to pick it up.
