Hope they add Infected and the other party modes soon. They are so good when you just want a break from the standard game modes.

Yea, the game is fun. Total opposite from the beta.

Streaming for a bit:

I don't know exactly what changed from the beta to final release but this is way more fun, i think the weapons were borked in the beta, something was just off.

Even maps i hated during the beta are ok now, fun game.

Now we're taliking. My copy is on the way. I was lukewarm on the beta, but I bought the game anyway because I'm a man child with zero video game willpower.

I'm thirsty for a competitive shooter, so tell me ERA... should I buy this for the multiplayer?

Modern warfare 2 was the last Call of Duty I played and had fun with the multiplayer.

"I will never forget the sight.
Ships as far as the eye could see, all the way out to the horizon.
Thousands of men, ten thousands even, all across the beach. Some were still cleaning up the scrap and bodies from the fight 3 days prior.
The tank traps the Germans had set up had mostly been dismantled, the few that remained were still dark red with the blood of our fellow soldiers.
So many had lost their lives here, all to take this beach, all to secure what would be our way into Europe to free the people of Nazi rule.
Here we stood then. 48 men. We started with 150 and this is who remained. Two third gone in the blink of an eye. Everyone knew those wouldn't be the last casualties before Berlin.
It was cold. Everything was. The wind, the sea, the souls of our fellow men. Even with this 'victory' morale was mixed.
So O'Malley decided to do something to cheer up the boys. He gathered everyone around and told them to watch.
He took his lucky dollar, an old coin he got from his pops and always carried in his breast pocket, and threw it in the air. Everyone's eyes followed as it flipped higher and higher, not showing any signs of stopping. It seemed like it wanted to reach the clouds themselves.
Then it vanished.
And out of thin air, the men gasping at the sudden appearance, a huge crate appeared and plummeted to the ground.
A loud THUD as it smashed into the ground, sand thrown into the faces of the soldiers closest to its' landing spot.
'Watch this!' O'Malley shouted as he approached the crate. The lid suddenly swung open and what can only be described as thunderous music played from seemingly all around us. Out of the crate three giant cards or posters appeared and hung in the air, each showing a picture.
'Check out what I got boys! Come closer! Come closer!' O'Malley screamed joyously.
He suddenly held an unfamiliar rifle in his hands, maybe German made going by the design, and was busy attaching a colorful new grip to it.
Then he turned to everyone and saluted. I had never seen a man salute the way he did. It was a powerful salute, a salute to freedom, a salute to the brave men in front of him and to the call of duty that all of us had followed to this forsaken beach.
We all cheered and saluted him back, but none seemed to get it right quite the same way he did.

Two days later I found his shiny grip lying in a puddle in the middle of a muddy French road. I felt compelled to pick it up and keep it but it seemed to be out of reach to me. I just couldn't pick it up. So I left it there. But I'll never forget that one moment in time when I saw him pull that thing out of that magic crate."

- From the Memoirs of John A.C. Tivision, WW2 Veteran
Bravo.

Anyone know the cheapest place to pick up the season pass on Xbox?

I also have a PS4 EU digital copy for sale for £38. Let me know if you're interested in this - much cheaper than the store price!

which is the best division to complete first?

Depends on your playstyle and which weapon/perk you want to unlock.

Infantry is good since you can get an additional primary attachment at level 2. Pair that with the basic training "Primed" and you can have 4 attachments for your gun.

Airborne is for SMG play. At level 2, you can sprint longer and at level 4, you'll run faster. Helps to surprise the enemy team and let's you get to Domination B first. If you run and gun, this is the one you want.

Armored is your tank class. Tactical equipment won't do anything to you, you take less fire and explosive damage. Good for objective modes.

Mountain is your sneaky class. That's what I'm currently using. Silent movement at level 4 is great. Footsteps are loud as hell and not having to hear my own makes things better. This is also the division that hides you from recon planes.

Expeditionary is your tactical/lethal class. You can carry a tactical AND lethal piece of equipment (normally you can only take a lethal), throw them farther/faster and resupply. This could be a fun class.

Each division unlocks a weapon and a perk after you prestige once.

Do you want to unlock the MP-40 and have 4 attachments on it? Prestige the Airborne division first then move onto Infantry.

Do you play Domination and you're tired of dying all the time to grenades when capping B? Level up the Armored division and see if taking less grenade damage will help.

It all depends on how you play.

I think the servers are down on PC, I can't connect. Either that or they're over-burdened. Had no issues yesterday at all.

Yeah, I am about to forget about this game until it's fixed. I have plenty of other games to play and more on the way.

Did the in game update just break the game for anyone else on Xbox?

Also, the map with the large gun in the middle is my favourite so far.

Just watched some of the intro mission - why the heck is it so damn quiet? It should sound like hell on earth, with constant gunfire, explosions and yelling, but it barely sounds like a battle is happening at all. Also, the explosion VFX look incredibly dated and primitive.

What in the world happened here? Is the audio/visual presentation this disappointing throughout the campaign?

Going through the campaign now on Normal. It's not hard by any means but I like that I can't just dash to the next checkpoint.

The way they handled this is weird.

This US Talker uniform might be a sub category of another. So for instance, when browsing, you won't see this uniform on the menu but if you were to select a uniform you DO see, it might bring up another menu with the uniform you're looking for.

Did that make sense? Lol. I hope this helps. If you still can't find it, then we'll chalk it up to launch day bugs.

Why are companies always underprepared when it comes to handling launches of games? Most critical time

Welp, the post-match screens were fixed for a while but they're completely broken again
Edit: actually ever worse now, just had to close the game entirely on my PS4

They seem to have less range and do less damage than the normal rounds. The spread is ridiculous.

Yeah, but it sets people on fire. You take that thing indoors or into the trenches and you dont need to get a regular hit on someone to kill em. It's a crutch for bad players like me and therefore its AWESOME.

Yeah their servers just can't handle the load. It was fine this morning and then people woke up lol

Nope. I was up 8:00AM my time and it still didn't work.

Easily the worst call of duty launch ever. Activision needs to really step in and step up this franchise or at least Sledgehammer involvement. The biggest franchise in games should not experience these issues .
