COD MW4 reveal trailer - game launches Oct 23rd

For me, accurate hip fire spray and pray means ADS not needed anymore. More people will be running around not even bothering to ADS anymore, even from long distance. Just hold down the fire button at any distance hipfiring.

that's technically called run & gun. like, Halo is a run & gun shooter, same with Splitgate.

spray & pray is just the term for randomly hipfiring, hoping the random spray will still hit shit.

I doubt it will be accurate enough to be Halo style hipfire tho.

my bet is that it's more in line with Apex Legends, which has some weapons that are viable as hipfire weapons from mid range, but not really good at it either.

my bet is that it will simply increase consistency and not actually be any good at a distance.

Of course im gonna support em and pre-order the vault edition... question is will i actually play it. Sigh.

Lots of new info sounds great but I am hesitant to really get hyped.

More will prob be revealed as we get closer to launch and I'll at least give first season a go.

Guns can be accurate (meaning the bullet will travel to exactly where the barrel was pointing rather than randomly deviate from that path) while still being difficult to control recoil-wise when hipfiring. I trust IW know better than to turn their gunplay into feeling like braindead airsoft.
 
i mean for the campaign. Big fan from all MW but this is the only one i have never played.
The campaign is fine, it has a couple of "open zone" levels that are hit or miss; there's a level called "highrise" that's also "open zone", but it's probably my favourite level in all of CoD campaigns
 
I think COD has to do a better job, they allowed Battlefield to win the shooting genre.

BF6 looks like the more polished game.

I think with COD in order for them to win fans back they have to eliminate the ties to COD HQ, the ways the menus look need overhauled, you can see the flood of cosmetics, too many similar abilities/perks, they got to remove some things.

If they're going to keep me around for multiplayer they have to shave some fat

I like BF6 but I don't think they "won" COD still has far more players dispite BF6 selling more than BLOPS7.

See how this years entry fairs but I suspect it will do very well.
 
Finally some cod to get interested into since mw2, pray IW did their job and it's not like mw3. If this is centered around korea, I wonder how many kpop collabs will the multiplayer have? (also let's go dmz 2)
 
I haven't bought a Call of Duty game since 2011's Modern Warfare 3.

Is the gameplay still satisfying?

Is it all unicorn skins and Nikki Manaj twerking?

Tempted to get this on S2 but only if they are still consistently quality games.
 
Certainly looks a hell of a lot more appealing than the last few years. Might be a day one for me. I loved the 2019 reboot. Couldn't get enough of it. The second one wasn't quite as good and three was just a nostalgic play. All of what they are saying and presenting here makes me feel like they've got a good one again. Fingers crossed.

Lighting system is definitely a step up, hopefully we see dynamic lighting elements in not just SP but MP. Would also be pretty cool to see round corners or behind you with RT reflections.

Imagine a Warzone mode with fully dynamic time of day and varied starting points, the ability to turn lights on or off or shoot them out, plus the ability to knock the power out in buildings and/or even entire chunks of the map; with NVGs and/or flashlights as an always available attachment.

BF6 sold more in the first month, but it fell off hard after that and most people just went back to COD because EA fumbled the BF seasons.
 
I thought they would use a new engine and no more yearly releases because the last one was such a ''success''
It is an upgraded engine and at no point did they say they would stop yearly releases. Instead they said they wouldn't do back-to-back releases in the same sub-franchise any more.

It's COD. Its consistent if nothing else.

BLOPS7 and MWIII have been the best its been in a long time. If you like shooting and dying every 30 seconds this game is for you. I still like it, try the beta would be my advice.

Ninja Perk + No Bloom + M4 Prestige turns it into an SMG + Classic Red dots on Map?









The sweat is already stankin!!!!!
 
What does "remove bloom" mean?

The bullet coming out of the guns barrel will go exactly where it's pointed at instead of it being "randomized".

If you put a laser on the gun the red dot on the wall will be where your bullet goes.

The "natural" recoil of the gun becomes the spread.

They are also essentially decoupling where the bullet goes from the center of the screen/crosshair .. it's all about the barrel's direction.

Thanks!

I thought it was a graphical trick to do with lighting or something

I was like "was it really that bad they had to announce it?"
