I'll ask here. Is there a Day Zero with all the DLC as well for the digital version? Want to buy it on the X1 in a few.

I really hope this COD turns out to be very good and up there with MW1 and Black OPs. I haven't played a COD game since then and have been playing battlefield games to fill the gap but they just don't do it for me for some reason.

Yup, that would be the Digital Pro Edition. It includes the Season Pass and Day Zero access.

That's the uber sexy Emily Ratajkowski. She's the brunette that was dancing around in the nude, in the uncensored Blurred Lines music video.

So in 2 hours it unlocks in Australia psn, will you get to play with an EU psn bought game? Does that work, anyone tried that before?

Nah, same here, and Activision know it.
You must buy it from psn store, once you did on PS3 go to the store form your PS4 and you will find it as free download.
FoV is good though 90 but he is in the menu at the moment not playing the game. But i have a feeling it will be played less on PC. Because i switched to PS4 maby one day i will buy it. Runs smooth though looks like they did a good job on PC this time.

i did that and got my email stating i purchased the game but when i search for the game on ps4 and web store it comes up as a a new buy and not a download to ps4.
Search in your library on PS4 it should be there.

Seems like CEX have a bunch of copies, many even sealed. Check their site and see if they have any in your local stores, that's one option.
Yup another reason i skipped it. But it's locked at 90fps also..first i thought it was just because not playing yet. Now i remember the shit they did to ghosts. At least they got 1 thing straight FoV and lots of graphic options but no dedicated servers. Yeah will be playing on PS4..dont expect a high player count it will drop very fast and very quick on pc.

Incredibly; but that's exactly what Activision was banking on.

Cheers. Nearest store is in Edinburgh which would be a two hour round trip. Guess I'll just have to wait. Shouldn't be too hard, should probably read some reviews first anyway.

On the PC stream it seems that you can play multiplayer with bots. Is this a new thing for COD? I fucking love playing with bots so this is a big plus in my book.

Ghosts has bots, but I don't know whether any other COD game does.
black ops and black ops 2 has bots aswell

I have to wait until 5pm EST Monday to play. Used up all of my vacation time for the year on my honeymoon. Thankfully that new wife will be picking up the game during the day for me and getting everything installed and downloaded. As a gamer herself she fully understands what an anticipated new release feels like. She is frothing at the mouth over Dragon Age Inquisition.
I posted this in the other AW thread last night but might as well stick it in here too 
So I've spent most of the day on this and have finished the campaign, played some exo survival and some multiplayer. Obviously it's early days on the multiplayer front but it's a huuuuuuuuuge improvement over Ghosts, honestly don't worry about that. The biggest improvement is the multiplayer (I liked Ghosts campaign and loved Extinction) but I enjoyed the campaign a lot more than Ghosts as well. I thought Sledgehammer Games did a pretty damned decent job with the campaign within the COD framework. That sounds like 'damning with faint praise' but it really isn't. They know how to pace the campaign, constantly change things up and give the player variety and even subvert the players expectations as well at times throughout the campaign. It won't change your mind if you don't like the COD gameplay but there's a good number of excellent setpieces which I really enjoyed. Personally I still think Black Ops 2 was a 'braver' game in that I admire Treyarch for trying to do a branching story and it's (admittedly not great) RTS style sections but it's obvious the guys and gals at SG's know how to put together a good, well polished campaign with great setpieces and tbh if I get that from a COD campaign I'm pretty happy.
The big thing of course is the Exosuit and what it brings to the gameplay which is quite a bit, especially campaign wise. I'm really interested to see how the ol COD faithful handle the verticality. Straight away I was double jumping, boosting, sliding etc (and still not getting many kills in multi ) But I saw a lot of people still running about not doing much of that and you could tell it would be frustrating for them. The TTK seems to be between Ghosts and Black Ops 2. If you're caught out and the player has bad aim then there's a chance you can boost out of sight but if they've got you firmly in their sights you get nailed. Hopefully people will learn to adapt but there is a classic playlist without Exo movement for those that want it, it does make me wonder how folks would handle that as the maps seem pretty much designed for the exo movement. I've only played multiplayer for an hour or two so it's just far too early to tell until everything is unlocked how much the exosuit can do in multi. I look forward to finding out though and it's obvious the Exosuit is adding a pretty new (and cool IMO) dynamic to the battlefield.
I only tried a little bit of Exosuit survival and it seems decent enough. You have three tiers of maps 1, 2 and 3 and you have to complete a number of rounds on each set of tier maps to progress to the next tier set of maps. It's the mode I spent the least time with so I don't have much to say about it at the minute tbh.
Another interesting aspect is the whole 'loot' system that they have in place. From what I've seen so far it seems to be cosmetic items as well as weapons with slightly different stats than the 'standard' model you unlock at whatever level. (example being an 'alternative' model has +1 extra mobility but -1 range or something like that). Now if you receive a weapon from a level you haven't reached it you can't use the weapon 'standard' or 'modified' BUT you can trash that item for XP that adds to your level overall. I just did that there now with a weapon I couldn't use (for level 32 and I'm 12) and it gave me some xp which helped take me from level 11 to 12.

Nope. They haven't said a thing. Obviously so they dont hinder sales. Im expecting Dedicated and P2P because Activision can't make a good game these days.
