AW MP Reveal Thoughts

Here's the official video Some of the stuff I talk about was shown later on so don't call me a liar =P

If you saw my thread on the Xbox One forums, this is the same thing. Figured it would get more traffic here so I'm posting it again (Sorry if it's not allowed)

Overall feeling was that it's CoD, and CoD will be very similar year in and year out which in some ways is good and some ways bad.

The Good:

Pick 13 system - Same as pick 10 but now includes Scorestreaks into the mix

Finally we learned how to swim

Return of CTF and Hardpoint

Uplink - This new mode looks like it has potential, could be something great that promotes teamwork and communication.

Day Zero Preorder Bonus - While they could just release the game on the 3rd because of this, it's a pretty neat preorder bonus

E-Sports Support - I'm sure a lot of people on here couldn't care less about it, but I enjoy watching and playing competitively so hearing this makes me think it can be a good game like BO2 was.

Return of Scorestreaks - At this point CoD needs to be Scorestreaks, no more all about kills. Instead reward people for playing game modes the way they're intended to be played. On Ghosts, just about every game mode was TDM since so many people cared about
kills to get good streaks.

The Bad:

Exo-Suit - Shooting at someone and them having the ability to jump up and over you seems like it could be very annoying.

Exo-Suit Abilities - There's an ability much like Oracle from Ghosts which I don't like. Seeing people through walls is a pet peeve of mine. There's also an ability that's like a portable riot shield which if it's recharge speed is slow then I'm ok with
it but who knows.

Co-Op Scorestreaks - This could go either way, could be good or could be bad. If teammates who didn't earn the streak can do more than mark targets like shown in the reveal and instead help kill then this could be insanely OP. But I do like the idea of more
teamwork and even being able to show people what some of the high scorestreaks do from a hands on experience.

What were your thoughts? And don't say this game is a TF rip-off. Only similarity is the Exo-Suit/Jetpack.

Its sad that we are now comparing cods to titanfall. If Respawn made another game similar to modern warfare, cod will die.

 

MP Reveal Thoughts

CoD will be fun, as it has always been......................Playing with full parties and pubstomping. Tianfall is great fun playing alone. I am about Generation 9 and I have not played one game in a party yet. It gets frustrating when people back out and
quit, but that problem is always worse in CoD. So whos up for a forum pubstomp team? Shoot me some FR. BTW, hopefully this game has Dedis.

 

Honest opinion? I'll be taking a pass on this one. The only thing that appeals to me is the ability to swim and that is nowhere near enough reason to buy this game. It's a pity: I've owned and played every CoD game right from the PC original. This game is
far too "futuristic" for my taste. If I wanted to play Titan Fall or Halo, I'd buy them (I know you said not to call this a TF ripoff but in all honesty, how can you say it isn't? All I'm seeing is Halo jumping and quick scoping with a bunch of lazer rifles.)

I've always enjoyed the MP in the Call of Duty family but this just goes beyond what I call fun. I've never been big on "future tech" type games (Ghosts was about as far as I was willing to go) and this one goes way too far in that direction. I'm not saying
it's bad; far from it. I'm sure there are a lot of people out there that will get a kick out of this type of game; I'm just not one of them. I'll save my money and put it towards something I'll actually enjoy. I also have a sneaking suspicion that this game
isn't going to do as well as all the other CoD titles. I think there's gonna be a lot of people like myself that aren't going to be thrilled with the direction this franchise is going. I'd rather they take it back to WW2 than go all Futurama on us.

Maybe I'm in the minority; I guess only time will tell.

 

No Trolling, but after seeing that, I am even less interested than I already was in this game. Just not for me.

 

I won't be buying it, or at least not till a few months after launch because my clan and friends keep telling me to get it

 

Not CoD-like enough for me, a definite pass unless I can find it at a cheap price in a bargain bin one day. I already dislike Ghosts because of the big-ish changes and this game seems to take the changes to the max you can while still having the title Call
of Duty...
