    Rant about updates


    I love xbox, I really do. But it sure does some ridiculously stupid things.

    Some games cannot be played unless they are updated, and do not start in fact they take you straight to the update "page" so that you can confirm the update.

    ^ That's dumb, why not just start downloading the update instantly? If I cannot play the game unless the update is installed why not make the update confirmation a part of starting the game? Obviously the player is going to update if the update is a requirement
    for playing... Just stupid. Who the hell is paid to think of these things? I can do your job better than you.

    :)

    Rant about MP

    No, way someone ranting about Call of Duty?! Impossibru!

    Multiplayer and Exo Survival for me is a mixed bag of feelings. On one hand I like it, yet there is a-lot that I do not like about this year's edition.

    Ranked Play: I was disappointed when I noticed Ranked Play was based on winning rather than performance. I also feel the penalty for losing is what is killing the potential playerbase. *Given its only pre-season so the so the playerbase
    is going to be lacking anyways.*

    Armory: I am confused about armory slots and if its possible to get more slots later on. I'm concerned that they'll try selling additional slots for $$$.

    Perks: I loved the perk system from Ghosts for its diverse options, which made for very tough decisions. This current perk system offers little variety.

    Weapons: Nerf the MORS. No camo for the heavy shield Rant about updates :(.

    Momentum: The rate at which you can secure the flags needs to be nerfed. All it takes is one player and x2/3 momentum to make turning the tide of battle in your favor very difficult. More difficult than it should be imo.

    Supply Drops: Needs to be more geared towards doing well rather than getting killed.

    Exo Survival: Earning supply drops for playing *the drops for zombie gear aside* would be nice.

  3. Rant About Customer Service

    I can pretty much agree with you here, they do only care about money. Which in way requires them to care about their customers too, but you got to think, they are a business too. Also I will look into a new section for general gaming threads like this.

    You can still play the game offline without accepting the update.

    Sometimes updates cause problems and people choose to remove them until they are fixed, your solution would remove peoples ability to do that.

    There is probably also a legal requirement for you to have to confirm the download, otherwise they can`t apply it.

  5. If I understand your post correctly.

    Yes, go into settings and set auto update.

    That way when you go to play a game which needs to be updated, it will auto sign you out and DL and apply it automatically. And when there is a system update, It will apply it as well.

    Also, it you have a number of demo's etc to DL, it will finish dl them even when the system is turned off. (Xbox 360. I've no idea YET about how it works on Xbox One for I don't have One)

    At this particular time I am at my PC and therefore can't map out for you >System>whatever to go to. But spend a little time in your consoles settings and I'm sure you'll figure out how to set this up.

    Game Update Rant

    I guess I'd understand this post if I had a horrible ISP. 3 GB takes around 5 minutes to download.
