The one thing I'm still not clear on is if there is 4 player local MP? (or is it like ghosts with 2 players max)

Is the weapon unlock system classic COD or is it the same as Ghosts where you get points to unlock whatever?

I haven't bought a COD at launch since MW2, and I've never gotten into the MP, but I am going all in on this one. I'm about to pre-order the Digital Pro edition. There is just something about this games setting and the exo-suit that just makes this incredibly interesting to me. It's like a merging of COD and Crysis, and that is just awesome! I'm excited to be excited about a COD again.

Not if they're all/mostly quality, which is what early impressions have been noting.

Quality of maps does not magically increase the number of them. I expected them to ship with at least 20 maps by now considering most people buy COD just for multiplayer.
 
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.
Especially as you can go pick it up for the reals in less than 12 hours. 2 hour trip with the associated transportation costs for the sake of 10 hours? Not for me :p

Game modes & game types > # of maps

Titanfall shipped with like 20 maps and 3 game modes, that's why a lot of people threw that game in the bushes

Not even close. COD AW isn't going to last long at all I can tell.

watching the stream.

people die faster than ghosts and the guns sound like paintballs.

That's exactly what I expected the game to be. They're never going back to MW1's amount of health for multiplayer.

All COD's have had essentially the same TTK. Any perceived difference is down to netcode, hit detection and lag compensation.
If you're going by that logic, that would mean the net code in MW2/MW3/GHOSTS was horrendous because there is no way all that 'no damage screen, just instant death ' was supposed to be that intentional.
 
Well, been watching a few of the streams that are floating around.

Either the player aren't that good, but seems like they are constantly going one for one. They shoot somebody and are then instantly popped by someone else. I also saw one guy pump 2 rounds of the shockwave shotgun into somebody's face yet it still didn't kill him, not sure if that's worrying.

Oh well, I will see tomorrow.

I'm actually excited for it. Hated Ghosts and no way can this be as bad. Hope S and D mode is as good as the early cods

The only correct logic is looking at the Denkirson or Symthic weapon damage charts, These show exactly how much numerical damage each guns bullet does to 100 player health and the ROF's etc. This is factual information taken from the game registry files.

Compare any of the weapon charts from COD4 to BO1 to Ghosts and the average number of bullets to kill remains the there and thereabouts the same. If anything, TTK has increased since BO1 where no AR killed in more than 4 bullets at any range.

So yes, the MW games and Ghosts had the tightest netcode and most accurate representation of the actual damage model.
 
Fuck it grabbing a copy tomorrow after work

Halo / SO / COD

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO LIVE LIKE THIS

Its awful. I still have Bayonetta 2 there as well.

With work and a young family finding the time is hard but the games are easy.

Got a game gift card for £30 but I want to go all digital...
 
Local gamestop making their midnight release finally coincide with US East (I'm US Pacific). First time ever here for us...

Now, do I buy this bad boy or not? Decisions.
 
About 40% of the maps in Ghosts were that bad they should have removed them from general rotation and stuck them in the own shitty playlist.

Then instead of paying for the 1st DLC they should have gave us 5 maps for free to compensate.

Must be nice waiting till midnight sucks. I have class in the morning so I'm probably not even picking the game up tonight. I wish they released it at 9 eastern as well so I could play for a few hours tonight. Kind of bullshit west coast doesn't have to wait till midnight.

Cannot use the content. To use the content, please purchase from the Playstation store.

WTF?

It passed midnight and a notification even popped up saying it was ready to use :/
 
Played the multi for 3 or so hours today.

The paired-down way they've done killstreaks but added a lot of potential modifiers to each killstreak is cool, seems like each modifier could really change up the gameplay implications.

Titanfall-esque movement options feel tacked-on at best, doesn't make you feel any more mobile (compared to Titanfall. No momentum conservation system or wall-running, etc). Game actively punishes you for using exo maneuvers. Don't expect miracles here, it's COD with double-jump. Most of the exo abilities in general are pretty "fluffy," in fact, not just the mobility stuff.

Game looks great single player, exactly like Ghosts in multiplayer.

With small pool of players it's tough to judge TTK, too much latency. Seems nearly imperceptibly longer than Ghosts, definitely not Black Ops level.

Maps are better than Ghosts/MW3.

This is flat out incorrect. The best players I watched use the shit out of the exo suits for evading and attacking. Look up some drift0r youtube videos for example.

Well I tried to do the whole Australia time zone to play it early with no luck. First it said I had to buy it. I tried it again and it said the content has not reached its start date.

Guess I'm waiting until 12:01.
 
So I changed my Timezone and Region to New Zealand and in the sidebar it said "Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare - Ready to Install"
(I had already pre-loaded) so now it's started a separate installation and when I clicked "Manage." The locked pre-loaded version remained and the new download was there as well and it now takes up 93 GB on my HDD.

Someone please explain/help.

When you guys buy games from the US store how do you play them with your EU account?

I tried downloading a free app and I can only use it with the US account.
