Don't think I've ever even feuded with anyone.

Also, in my defense, the crisis was pretty terrible.

Shut up.

fuck off

Growing up is overrated.

Agreed.

So you go back to comic books, and I'll go back to baiting sociopaths on the internet.

I can't remember the last time I read a comic other than Yale's Little League. It's been movies and shows exclusively. And the occasional videogame on the off-chance it isn't complete ass.

I said go back to comic books, bitch!

Hmm.

Do it or I will cut you.

Your katana didn't burn up? That's craftsmanship.

Don't use words you don't understand. Or at least try to understand words before you start using them.

Exactly, more psychopath than sociopath. Amirite?

Fire can't melt steel.

Really?

That's what the 9-11 truthers say, and they have science on their side.

I guess.

Highlights from today's live stream courtesy of Destructoid:

* Character customization is in, including playable female soldiers. There are some 20,000 possible combinations which are both cosmetic in nature and affect gameplay.
* Maps have dynamic events and environmental destruction.
* There are seven new game modes, thirty new weapons, the new Marksman Rifle class, 20 new killstreaks, and a new co-op mode.
* The create-a-soldier system is similar to Treyarch's Pick Ten. You'll have a budget to spend, and perks have varying number values associated with them.
* You can create a squad of up to ten soldiers, each with a unique loadout, appearance, and ability to prestige.
* New animations and movement systems: there's contextual leaning, a mantling system that let's you jump over obstacles, and a knee slide to go from sprinting to crouch or prone.
* Modes: Cranked, where a kill makes you faster but also starts a 30-second timer in which you must earn another kill; Search and Rescue, where your team can revive you by picking up your tag or enemies can deny the revive by doing the same; and Squads, in which your custom squad competes against AI or other players.
* Infinity Ward has plans for eSports following Treyarch's work on Black Ops II but only mentioned the CoD Championship and Ghosts' inclusion in the 2014 MLG Pro Circuit.
* The studio is reducing the number of air-based killstreaks; for instance, the UAV is now a ground-based device instead of a drone in the air. No more death streaks, either.
* The Season Pass is back with another four map packs and the Team Leader digital pack, including an exclusive multiplayer character. You can transfer your stats, prestige level, and profile across console generations, and DLC from the pass carries over too.

The dog from single player mode is one of the special killstreaks for multiplayer.

Some new COD:Ghosts MP mode called Blitz. In it, you must <s>hunt ghosts like prolific TPWW poster Blitz</s> attack and defend 2 key points. There's also going to be an XBone hardware bundle with COD: Ghosts packed in with some "exclusive content" for your "experience" and they announced dedicated servers.

Only £179.99 for current gen console. Bargain!

I must assume I'm the only one who got this.

I've got it, not played yet.

Forgot this was even coming out this week, that's how little I care about CoD now. Think I'll start treating it like sports games, getting it every other year.

Honestly, it's not very good. Played for about an hour and I'm already thinking about trading it in for Assassin's Creed IV.

Multiplayer feels strange. Can't put my finger on why. Just something off. Not a fan of any of the maps at this point. They feel too chaotic, and it seems like they're more vertically focused than horizontally. Found myself getting shelled from all angles a lot.

And the spawns are fucking garbage. I mean real straight up garbage. I have never had an issue with spawns in previous CODs, even when it seemed like everyone else did. But this is a joke. Spawning right in front of enemies with my back turned to them. Come on.

Not a fan either so far. The game was giving me a headache. It feels like there's no heft to the game and the mini-map is bad so far. There's still definite latency but they've taken away the ability to see your connection strength.

Maybe I'll get used to it. Not a fan of being spawn killed repeatedly and the same old "shot before I come round the corner" routine as in Black Ops 2.

Grabbed mine for PS4 today. It's the common game all my buddies agreed upon to get.

Hmph. Reviews aren't that great right now. Hopefully it'll get better in a week or so.

Doesn't sound good. Battlefield 4 it is then.

Kalyx did say that. And if Blitz and ECG are complaining it must be bad...

Is there any redeeming quality?

Riley.

From what I've read, only the 360 and Wii U versions have a relatively smooth framerate. The PS4 and XBone versions are jerky as fuck unless there's a day 1 patch and even the PC version is dropping frames no matter how powerful your machine is.

Maybe trying to rush 6 versions out wasn't the smartest idea ever.

I'm quite pleased that people are starting to see through this franchise's bullshit. Many of the issues I'm reading are things I've pointed out for years since MW2 and it seems to have taken hold after a long while. Hopefully this forces Activision to rethink how they release the game, but it seems the current team(s) on it are not up to task. Better off making Treyarch the sole developer and rock a 2yr release cycle.

People have always seen through the franchise bullshit. They just ignored it because they still had a lot of fun with the games. That's how it was with me anyway. I tried MW2 and 3, and I didn't like them, so I didn't buy them. I liked the BLOPS games, so I did. Simple.

I'm waiting for Fangel's review of everyone else's reviews before I get this.

Fangel isn't getting it this year.


Until he does.

IT'S OK GUYS, THEY'RE PATCHING THE PC VERSION. THIS SHOULD HELP THE FRAMERATE.

OK, animal fur is a higher priority than a smooth framerate. My bad.

I got a picture of me on my turret from 2003! My weapon of choices: The .50 Cal and M240B

Kind of jealous I didn't have a dog and stuff

By the sounds of it, they developed with the new consoles in mind so it's a struggle just to get the basic game up and running. Then this is downported to the current console generation so you're maybe getting a game that lacks a lot of the progress they made.

I am waiting on this one, I blew through Black Ops 2 too fast. I was going to turn heel on CoD and go BF4, but I'm having too much fun with WWE2k14
