That actually only happened in BO3.
In BO3 they said it would only be cosmetics. AW and IW new guns were in supply drops from the start.

To be honest new characters and skins are very consistent with the original game, there nothing too garish or ridiculous as far as i can tell.
The golden skin it's still there by the way
I wanted to ask if someone else noticed better resolution on PS4 or it's just me.
The game looks and seems to be running even better!

Gun camo is fine, there are a couple silly ones but thats okay. Don't use them if you don't like them.
Character camo is fine, nothing crazy , its just variations on what the factions already had.
And females are literally just genderflipped versions of the same class skins.
Literally the only stupid thing in the update was the beer bottle and maybe the "sword"
But again you will hardly notice people using those compared to BO3's crap.

Did they say if there would be daily login bonuses?

Do you know something we don't?
BO3 and IW are not remasters so there is no guarantee that this game will game new guns at all. Also this update has introduced gun variants in the form of 'Kits', they are just cosmetic.

To be fair, there are completely new weapons in the code.
Striker shotgun
auto shotgun
galil
machine pistol
44 magnum

After three games of bullshit microtransactions, I know better than to trust Activision with not fucking over this game. The game is still balanced so you can enjoy it without spending any keys, but the odds are extremely high that it won't last. Don't spend your Depot Credits on just a chance for cosmetics, they'll add in those stupid guns sooner or later.
And yeah, new weapons in the code. That's also what happened with Black Ops 3 before the guns became usable.

Half the maps are graphically ruined.
Wetwork & Bog are bright as hell.
bloom freaking ruined Ambush and Crossfire
Horrendous filter on Crash.

Just what I always wanted! COD4 with supply drops!!
I got burned out really quick on the first 10 maps but the remaining 6 really opens up the variety. Kinda crazy MWR has more maps and weapons than IW.

Has there been any hints at all post release that Activision will sell the remaster separately?

I don't mind the supply drops as long as it fucking sticks to being cosmetic and maybe melee weapons only.

I forgot how much of a bitch Domination B flag is on Showdown, lol.
Played that and Pipeline so far.
This update added a TON of shit and I'm pretty happy about this.
From looking through the armory:
6 melee weapons
11 weapon kits
72 weapon camos
49 reticles
16 characters (different faces/females)
20 combat uniforms
66 calling cards (plus 12 more that are associated with gun game and Hardpoint. These have their own category)
74 emblems (plus 6 more that are associated with gun game and Hardpoint. Also in their own category)
Looking through the emblems, in the category "Task Force"..these icons could pass as prestige icons. I may aim to unlock these first. Really like the look of them.
I already knew I would be playing this for a long time but with everything they added today (and my OCD for wanting to collect everything) I'll definitely be playing for a whiiiile.

Honestly I get more: "Bullshit!" moments in this then I do in IW. So many quick scopers.
Man, I wouldn't mind passing a few of the MWR snipers into IW (or at least the handling stats). They can keep the assault rifles though.
MWR has more maps, but I'm pretty sure IW has more weapons (even more if you want to count functionality changing Epic variants). They're just spread out across the classes more evenly, whereas MWR has a bunch of Assault Rifles.

I've been getting 2 keys per match. 3 if I do really well. Getting to 30 seems to take longer than IW. Just opened this up a few moments ago:
The only way to get parts is by opening rare drops. Kinda sucks. At least give us some when we complete a challenge. Or when we prestige. Or when we level up. SOMETHING!

Well, eventually you'll start getting them through dupes, no? And those will come in common drops.
I agree that there should be a baseline reward just from playing though. Don't know why they're so resistant towards adding something like that. We're not gonna suddenly be able to unlock everything in a week. These current systems feel like overcompensation to keep people buying drops.
The Epic drop rate in these supply drops is INSANELY generous for COD standards, holy shit. I used some leftover COD Points from BO3 and got multiple triple-Epic crates, and the Parts you get for duplicates seems to be 10X what you'd get in BO3. I got 430 per duplicate multiple times and I've already completed a few collections. Opened 2 more Common supply drops and got an Epic in each one, and now I have 4,000+ parts so I can craft a ton of shit.
I'm 100% happy with today's update. Everything is cosmetic, the weapon kits are BADASS (especially Assassin), there's a ton to grind for now, the melees aren't even worth using anyway and there aren't unique camo challenges tied to them like they were in BO3, so there's no incentive to use them over the knife. Haven't been killed by a single one yet. As long as they stick with loot updates like this, this is only good for the long-term health of the game. People just freaked out when they saw supply drops before they even downloaded the update.

I have to say that this patch definitely improved footsteps, you can clearly hear enemies walking/running now, like 5 meters away. Amazing update all around!!!

Black Ops 3 did not give you parts (salvage), it didn't have a crafting system. It gave you Cryptokeys, the non-paid currency for opening drops. Do you mean Infinite Warfare?
We've had three COD games with weapon stat upgrades and/or new weapons inside supply drops. When you remember that there's unused weapons in the game code, there's no reason at all to believe they won't add new weapons inside supply drops this time too.
Save your damn depot credits for when they add the guns in. It will happen.

snipers really are a cancer to the game. just add scope glint and they'll be fine.
Wasn't it already checkerboard 4K on the Pro?
Assault rifles are a bigger cancer.
Yeah, it already had the 4K going so I can't really put my finger on it. Some of the textures look like they were upgraded or something. There's a cleaner look to it. Someone above me posted the same thing so maybe I'm not seeing things?

XB1 version also looks cleaner to me, less "jaggies" in the distance. Probably not your imagination.
It is not about using them, but seeing them on other players. Or even picking them up, when you're out of ammo.
And maybe the sword?
Razgriz-Specter

When I posted that I hadn't actually seen the sword besides the killfeed image, thought it could still be a weird knife or machete.
even then at least it isn't the Fury Song or Katana from BO3 which are huge swords.

XBOX are giving refunds on the grounds of false advertising supposedly.
Also, myself and a friend are looking for more UK players, we play every day, potentially looking to do GB if we hit it off with others and are a good team. Game is frustrating as hell as two sadly aren't enough to counter the utter shite on our team at times!
Interested? Drop me a friend request on PSN: Maaaaaardy
Dom and Search mainly. Two good players who are very objective based. Thanks!

I hope they work on hardpoint because its a mess. The hills don't rotate they just flip from one side of the map to the other and the spawns are chaos that break the flow of the match.

New maps make the screwed up spawn system even more obvious.
No freaking reason on a humongous map like Countdown im spawning in the same freaking hangar as enemies

I once got spawned across the map just in time to get hit by my own airstrike.

The spawns are definitely worse than the original.
I'm really not keen on the fixed camera view when you are waiting to respawn in HC modes; it gives away far too much information about peoples' movements in the area you can see.

"While in the air, kill 5/25/100 enemies with melee attacks"
One of the new challenges. Uhhh, this is going to take some time. I was lucky and got 1 so 99 more to go!
Playing gun game right now. Pretty fun!...until I get a sniper and I'm like -_-
After this rare drop I'm about to open, I may stick to the common ones. Open up enough of them, and maybe I'll start getting duplicates, which in turn, will give me parts. Saving up for 30 takes too long.
I was going to play some IW but apparently I need to re-download the whole game (50 gigs) so MWR all night! Not a bad thing since I'm hooked anyways.

Yeah rare are a waste, hardly anything hard to get and duplicates give more than enough scrap to buy other stuff.
This 100%. It's more of a constant scramble for both teams and it's not fun to sprint around trying to figure out the spawns of the hardpoints.
As i posted earlier, i immediately noticed a bump in graphics - after playing a bit with base PS4 on a full HD tv i'm almost sure they upgraded resolution, increased draw distance and also adjusted some stuff in differents maps (eg lighting in Crash, which was way too high initially...).
Great, great update!
Isn't it based on time played, not performance (or perhaps time played + a small bonus for winning)?

I think it depends on how many points you get per game. In TDM I always get 2, averaging 1800 to 2200 total points. Tried some Domination and got anywhere between 3500 to 4100 points and always got 3 credits. There's the odd time where I get just 1, even though I did well. No idea why I would get 1.
Really hope not. That is dumb otherwise. Pretty sure in IW it's based on performance. It's why you can still sometimes get 2 or even 3 keys with a loss.
Yea the resolution seems a bit crisper on the Xbox after the new patch, but still not 1080p. They probably just used a less blurry AA solution, because it was too blurry for 900p.
Sigh, I'll go pick up a PS4 Pro tomorrow or Friday for this game.
Does the Legacy edition work just the same with gamesharing?
