Guys had a go at Multi player on COD last night. Not too bad. Worth a crack I reckon.
Played the Campaign with my young fella a bit too over the weekend, i like it better than the BF1 Campaign.
Still have the BS Quick scope Sniper shots though in Multi Player.
Been playing singleplayer a bit on PC. Haven't tried the multiplayer yet.
Singleplayer is alright. I enjoy the character interactions and stuff but it does get a bit bog standard. Starts to feel like every game I've played before when I keep killing waves of the same Germans. It all feels a bit too arcadey and a bit too cheap and the story line isn't new enough to keep me playing.
I'll give them one thing though, the scenes can be quite amazing. Driving along in the tanks as the planes go overhead then the bombers blowing up the tank in front of you. That feels great, then you run out there and start fighting with weapons that have no weight to them, a lot of the time you don't notice that you're almost out of health 'cause there's not much feedback when getting hit, and don't get me started on my bullets not being able to pass through a single strand of hay but they can shoot me without aiming at me. It has potential but it still just feels like every other Call of Duty released in the past decade. Simple arcade gunplay. I'll still play through it though.
I'm one of those rare people that actually prefer COD with the futuristic stuff. The last COD was alright as it mixed up stuff with the VTOLs but it was still lacking a bit. But Blops 3 was excellent. Wall running and fast paced combat. COD has always been an arcade game so they took that arcade aspect and ran with it and it was fun. Played like a slower version of Titanfall. Unfortunately everyone complained that it wasn't WW2 so they made WW2.
I think WW2 is done for COD. They've moved past that and they can't do it well anymore. They should focus on making futuristic arcade games and leave the gritty real war games to companies that want to make it difficult and somewhat more realistic.
.. need to completely reconfig my amp and everything though as speaker setup has changed significantly between houses. Finally a place where I can have a proper HT setup (well almost).
