    Still no official announcement yet which is the latest it's ever been for the next COD announcement but details are slowly starting to leak The Xclusive Ace dropped a video yesterday with details from an inside source and had to take it down but we got most of the details. Including Warzone remains with a new map set in Russia.
    MP Campaign and Zombies coming back. On a negative note 150 health returns. Read further at Charlie Intel's link below

    First CoD I won't be buying on release. I'm sick of the era, they can't do anything new with it so any recent game set in those times just feels old, like I've already played it. Coupled with the money that Warzone is making them, the standard MP will take a hit and just be something they include to keep the masses happy, while they continue to milk Warzone.

    In other words, not excited at all about this. Bring back AW and IW!

    I'd be the polar opposite, I'd be very welcoming of another Cold War era game done right...still think the first Black Ops is possible one of the best of all the COD titles, though obviously it's very dated now.

    Lasers, jetpacks and exo-suits is never something I wanted in COD personally, and other games already exist that do that very well like Halo, Titanfall, or whatever.

    The 2019 Modern Warfare is an incredibly good game and mostly devoid of the cancerous elements of other COD titles like wacky custom skins and weapons. I hope they stay away from this next one as well.

    Nothing kills my mood faster than playing a COD game set in WW2 then being killed by some lad with a pink assault rifle dressed as a Leprechaun. (I disliked COD WW2 and barely played it, even though I love WW2 games)

    Interesting possible reveal on Monday perhaps?

    Hope they head back into the Vietnam War in this one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,583 ✭✭✭NoviGlitzko


    Hope this is what Modern Campfare isn't and it suits run and gun on MP.

    Yeah I thought it was well done, I hadnt a clue what I was meant to be at though :D

    Exploding RC cars are back. I'm happy


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,060 ✭✭✭Sexual Chocolate


    Can wait to play the campaign.

    One of the CIA guys in the trailer is definitely a rip off of Robert Redfords character in Spy Game.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,839 ✭✭✭✭Snake Plisken


    Pre-ordered the Ultimate edition just there on PS4 :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,429 ✭✭✭Wuff Wuff


    ordered the same, the upgrade to PS5 version included when its out is what sealed it for me

    nice to get woods for warzone and Beta access with it

    My first thought was that he was a combination of Redford and Pitt!

    I wonder what the story is with using Ronald Reagans likeness? would they have to get permission from his family to do that?

    Yeah he looked like a combo of both also that brown leather jacket is like it's a direct lift from one off of a Ruin skin where he had the 70's look with a big moustache. No doubt they have re-used some of the assets from Black Ops 4.

    Noticed no free COD points in this one like Modern Warfare but you do get the Battlepass with 20 tier skips which is worth about 2400 cod points (24 euros)
    Also if buying the cross gen it's 74.99 which is only 5 euros extra from the base €69.99 for base PS4 game

    Not doubting you, but it might be worth checking that - I recently bought the Ultimate edition of Modern warfare (was coming from console to PC)

    I misread the description and thought that for the bigger price i was getting
    base game ,3000 cod points to buy the battle pass with 20 free tiers.

    its deliberately confusion inducing - what you get is the game, 3000 cod points to spend how you want, and if you dont buy the battle pass, there are 20 tiers of free battle pass levels available for all - as opposed to tier skips.

    You could well be right I usually buy the top version of the digital edition and usually it's free COD points as you said with Modern Warfare it was 3000 free COD points which I used I think a 1000 to buy the first battle pass

    For the event i logged on 5 mins before but it never came up as an option. Do you have to be on way before?

    There was some kind of playlist update last week and you could only pick the event in Warzone. I think it's all gone now so if you didn't get in you've missed it

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,857 ✭✭✭Atlas_IRL


    I saw that on youtube but i only got the option of normal warzone and started a duos match just before the official time and didnt see the know your history at all.

    Looks like October 8th for the beta, might only be for those who ordered digitally on PS4 first followers by other ore orders the day after I think I read somewhere

    Any special limited edition versions announced yet ala the night vision scope set with modern warfare?

    I actually turned the reveal off only a couple of minutes in when the designers were back slapping themselves like they had re-invented the wheel. It looks....boring? Compared to MW it just seems clunky and a step back.

    I'd probably buy it for the campaign but even at that I might wait for a price drop - this would have been the perfect follow on for the original Black Ops back in 2010 but they ruined the series with all the futuristic crap.

    Will give the open beta a shot when it's on, but everything I've seen so far is underwhelming and disappointing in terms of what I'd expect from COD.

    Will warzone change when the new game comes out. Or will it be another version of blackout and warzone still run alongside it. Can see moden warfare cannibalising black ops 4 sales unless they decide to shut it down.

    I reckon it'll revert to a cold war themed map.

    Luckily Verdansk can easily be remade into an 80s looking map

    I'm not a fan of Treyarch games, although I did like Blops 1. This has the same kind of feel and I'm going to get it for WZ but I do agree it looks a step back from MW. That's really a personal taste thing with me, I've just always preferred the look and game play of IW games.


  • Posts: 13,688 ✭✭✭✭ Beau Polite Groin


    Treyarch back to save the franchise. Looks class.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,416 ✭✭✭✭gimli2112


    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has seen massive success since it launched in November of 2019, now becoming the best-selling Call of Duty game ever.

    Source: The internet.
    While this isn't true Modern Warfare has been a spectacular success sales-wise. Blops 1 is the best selling ever but it looks like MW3 will overtake it shortly. The golden age of COD for me, all built upon the solid foundations of MW and MW2.

    Dunno, I wont go so far as to say that this looks like scutter, but its a definite step back in my books, The animations are like a throwback to yesteryear, and the fonts and sound effects area almost identical to those in Blops2.
    I'm interested in the campaign, but not for full price.

    take for example this reload animation at the 6:22 mark, its woeful

    Modern Warfare saved the franchise, this Black Ops does not look that great.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,213 ✭✭✭✭_Kaiser_


    Ah I dunno. Remember that footage from jackfrags was already several weeks old when uploaded, so I'm sure the final version will be better , alongside the inevitable patches in the first few weeks.

    MW/WZ is my first real foray into the franchise (traditionally Battlefield but I never liked V and stopped playing it 6 months before they officially abandoned it) and I am liking this upcoming entry - but then as a guy in his mid-40s I love and miss the 80s anyway so that might be part of it :p

    Overall impressions from the Alpha arent great, some guys complaining about the tanks in Domination.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,416 ✭✭✭✭gimli2112


    Battlefield 1 was great for watching lads go 100-0 in a tank. Treyarch did tanks in WaW too but I never played it. I fundamentally disagree with tanks in COD. It's hard to find the balance. Battlefield 4 did it very well, I thought and gave you loads of equipment to take them on although they were still quite strong.
