So it's a two thumbs up on the campaign, right? COD single
player is back! Really solid campaign all the way through, including the side missions. Easily one of the best in the series. If Titanfall 2's campaign is recognized for its awesome and creative gameplay, then I hope Infinite Warfare is recognized for taking the time to tell a story with solid characterization.

Good shit. Now for zombies. Or COD4. I dunno.

5.5hr campaign? Seriously?

Is that with or without side missions? I clocked in about 7 hours on it.

 

[killroy87]

5.5hr campaign? Seriously?

That's a perfect length for an FPS campaign for me.

 

[Militaratus]

So how do I activate HDR mode in the game? Can't see the option, but they said it would be available Day 1 for PS4.

Maybe Day 1 for the Pro Patch?

We haven't gotten a straight word on whether or not this game (or MWR) has HDR to begin with. Hopefully it's patched in.

 

[dreamfall]

5.5hr campaign? Seriously?

Aren't they always 4-6 hours? It's been like since Modern Warfare I think. Even if they do cool new tricks with space ships and hub zones, I feel like expecting anything longer is really wishful thinking.

 

[rubes7844]

I'm getting a hang of this. Going 5-20 but having fun, getting better every match.

 

[Hoodbury]

So how much do the loot crates cost in real money? Does it seem like that is going to be an issue or was that a lot of hub bub the last couple days for nothing?

I've played 4 games and I have 10 keys already

Game is in dire need of Mercenary playlists, was getting crushed by groups solo queuing last night.

My regular squad isn't getting IW after the lackluster beta. What is the GAF COD community on PSN?

On consoles my tv never said HDR signal alert.

Also man and some of the campaign times. I was somewhat near 100% but not exactly and on hard it was 7+ when I looked and probably very close to 9 when all was said and done. I didn't find all the hidden locations but I did explore a bit and watch the movie reels and listen to the captains station interviews and such.
On specialist and YOLO its insane.

 

[IgotElbows]

Maybe because it's still early in the day but COD:IW probably has one of the WORST triple A launches on PC in a long time.

Current peak is 12,455...
Black Ops 3 all time peak was 63k. Maybe that will change with the weekend.

Unrelated. Are Terminal and Zombies no longer just for preorders now? It seems like everyone gets it from the steam page.

COD hasn't had Mercenary since MW3 or BLOPs 2 I think?
I miss it. I loved doing it because people in Mercenary usually were awful and easy kills. lol

EDIT: Since BLOPS 1 actually. Yikes been awhile...

I loved the beta and will be playing a ton of MP.

Current peak for MWR MP is 5k, so not great either.

 

[TheCanisDirus]

"current peak" Does that mean current players online or peak players online?

Also, what site are you using for the 5 K total? Honestly just curious... i feel like it will be a LOT more than that after everyone gets home from work/school in the US.

Sorry, it should be 5k current and peak (5,230 current, 5,296 peak)

Try using a sniper. Maybe they turned off aim assist, but they were godly in the beta.

 

[IgotElbows]

Ah ya, forgot MWR would eat into the playerbase as well. Still combined 12k+5k.

17k players online total is pretty damn awful. But maybe tonight/tomorrow it will change.

everyone is on consoles. they don't show concurrent but mwr remastered had 300k players play mp before the game had even released. It was up to about 500k this morning. leaderboards aren't up for IW yet

Ya I know most are on consoles. I was just saying how small the playerbase on PC is. NOT having the beta on PC, probably was a factor of that. BLOPS3 beta on PC actually made me buy it because I enjoyed it.


How many are on COD IW multiplayer? Curious of COD4R will surpass CODIW in players one day. lol

 

[Defect]

Is there Campaign Co-op?

 

[Kalentan]

My favorite scene with Ethan (granted it's literally his first) is the exchange when he goes:

Spoiler

Ethan: You know I get stage fright, right, sir?
Salter: You got feelings Ethan?
Ethan: I do, Lieutenant, I do. I carry the brain of a human farmer.
Salter: Holy Shit. Are you serious?
Ethan: No ma'am. Not at all.

So funny. The delievery really sells it. Props to the actor who plays Ethan.

Ah ok PC. That makes sense as most play on console.

This is what i was going to brig up. Almost half a million had played as of this afternoon. Peak has GOT to be up in the 10's of thousands easy.

 

[Shikoba]

Currently reading The Expanse book series and getting some Battlestar vibes from all I have seen and it's really making me want to pick this one up. Glad to hear people enjoying the campaign. It is really the only CoD campaign that has looked appealing to me. Damn me and my love of scifi. I already bought TF2 >.<

 

[Creaking]

Is there Campaign Co-op?

Nope.

 

[Chris R]

I want this to hit redbox so I can play the campaign Haven't touched a CoD since MW, but the E3 stuff they showed looked really interesting to me with the space combat.

Waiting will suck!

You should for sure get Battlestar vibes. There is a ton of little references

 

[backflip10019]

Should I be buying common or rare supply drops?

 

[Morts]

Very specific question: does the PS4 version allow you to do two player split screen while online? Did either Advanced Warfare or BLOPS3 have this? I haven't bought a CoD in a while.

 

[Creaking]

Do you only get scrap from lootboxes and "faction" levelups?
I had 200 yesterday and spent them on a gun upgrade, but today I have 20 instead of 0 for some reason.

Daily login bonuses can grant scrap too.

 

[Kalentan]

Yes it does. CoD has actually had that feature as far back as BO1 I believe.

 

[Morts]

I thought back in the day you could do it in the Black Ops games but not in MW2 and MW3. Like I said though, I've been away for a while.

 

[Jarrod38]

Me waiting for the games to install.

 

[JigglesBunny]

Nothing to see here. Let me mosey on back to 2007 in peace when things were simple and Supply Drop free.

 

[Kalentan]

I was thinking of double dipping so I could play some MW:R with my old CoD4 squad on Xbox but is it true that you need to download the entire 45GB download online if you buy the Legacy Edition physically? Because, uh, fuck that noise if so.

Did you mean to post this in the MWR OT thread?

 

[Izuna]

Guys, should I buy this?

I had bought AW and Blops3 and hating both campaigns, and detest multiplayer.

I do remember loving MW1 and 2 campaigns though.

 

[JigglesBunny]

Did you mean to post this in the MWR OT thread?

Yup.
Two OT's is really throwing me off.
Thanks for the heads up.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Only a couple hours in, but this is my fav campaign since the first Black Ops. I'm pleasantly surprised!

Is it possible for you to rent games? Paying $60 for a 5 hour campaign is pretty rough. All the value in these games is in the MP.

I forgot to mention that I adored AW Zombies. Is that good in this?

 

[Kalentan]

The Zombie mode has somethings to work out but overall it's a very- very strong start of IW zombies.

I will say though, expect more Treyarch zombies than Sledgehammer zombies.

It does seem like they will be working with the community to fix things. Like take for example the Afterlife Arcade, it's a cool concept and works for MP, but for Solo play it's just doesn't work and just comes across as annoying and IW already said they're looking to fix it for Solo players.

Man, I forgot that AW was Sledgehammer. The last IW CoD before this was Ghosts right?

It's a shame the movement system is all Blops3. It's a garbage Titanfall wannabe

 

[Always-honest]

I agree. 5 to 7 hours.

Well the Zombies mode doesn't use wall running or anything like that. It just has the slide.

 

[Purexed]

Quick question, if I buy the regular version for 60, can I upgrade to have access to COD 4 Remastered?

Not that I know of.

 

[Freezasaurus]

Same. It's also harder than expected, even on regular difficulty. But at the same time, I haven't played a CoD game since the original Black Ops. I may just be out of practice.

 

[Izuna]

Oh. Okay. Thanks for saving me a purchase

 

[Lucifon]

Anyone finding the campaign to be harder than usual? The screen shake when you get shot is so frustrating, more so than other cods. Playing on hard currently.
