How do operator skins work in this in MP? Any articles/guides/explainers?
It's probably the same as all recent COD, select character / skin. So, you have half players running around with the same skins which sucks. I like the old days when each side had different skins making it easy to tell who's your teammate vs the enemy. You don't need to see the color of their name tag.

You basically hit triangle, and have a selection of them ranked common->legendary

Well operators are divided into factions so we should be able to tell.

Question about Alex. He's a cia operative, are they considered special forces? Is he as trained as a soldier as Price and Garrick who are SAS?

Do we know how custom classes work?

In previous coD they were stuck behind prestige ranks. which I absolutely hate, but since there isnt any more prestiging how do we unlock more?

I need to stay out of this thread. I am too hyped and don't want to see any of the maps, and don't want to get spoiled the campaign. One more day, 7 hours and 45 minutes!

Supposedly the map Hill that was in Call of Duty 4 alpha stages is now in this game? Or is it just using its name? I'd love to know, cause that old map of Hill looks great lol

A friend got his Xbox-copy, says the installation is a mess. If I understood correctly at first the campaign will be downloaded but if you start the game after that, the multiplayer will be downloaded automatically. Then there`s a 19 GB-download for Spec Ops. And later he had to download another 12 GB for Spec Ops.

Man I am still debating between getting this on Pro or for X. I know it has cross play and it will probably look better on X but there's some exclusive stuff for Sony that's interesting. Also, party chats are gonna be a pain in the ass.

I hate that I'm lacking in impulse purchase control lately. I'm actually considering grabbing this on release since A) Amazon has a pretty sweet deal for it ($10 off plus an additional $10 rewards I could use on Death Stranding) and B) I've been in a nostalgic mood for an FPS multiplayer, as I haven't played a CoD since Advanced Warfare.

But I'm trying to be rational and talk myself out of this for two main worries:

1. Microtransactions: I know that they're claiming there won't be loot boxes or other non-cosmetic paywalls, but it's also Activision and they don't have an even remotely trustworthy history.

2. As I said, I haven't played a CoD since AW and I'm afraid I'll quickly get frustrated by the legion of players who will no-scope one-shot me as they've been playing these games nonstop for years.

Is there anything in particular that would make this more beginner friendly in the multiplayer scene? Or at least not give complete advantage to the Mountain Dew-chugging children with "modified" WiFi and other bullshit that nearly gave me an aneurysm during the Xbox 360 days?

For the reviews, I just heard in a website's podcast that score/review will appear Friday morning (Europe time), so I guess probably 9:00 or 10:00 am

It would give :
  • 12:00am - 1:00am Pacific Oct 25
  • 3:00am - 4:00am East Oct 25
  • 8:00am - 9:00am UK Oct 25

So reviews drop after the game is released? Its out at 9pm Thursday EST right?

Yeah probably
Game is officially out Oct 25 but you can buy early the day before yes (like the early Thursday showings for movie releases)
Therefore they can sell more units and claim records easier for 1st day or 3-days launch (that's how I understand it)

Special Forces are green berets. CIA doesnt fall under the department of defense so it doesnt have operators. However theres a SOF unit out there that sort of bridges the gap between CIA and DOD.

Its literally 3 copy and pasted rooms, copied and pasted from a Modern Warfare 2 single player level

It's the laziest map design I've ever seen. Thanks fully the rest look good.
Sounds like exactly what a prison shower would look like...but I see where you're coming from

If it lets me get my The Rock on that's all that matters to me

Are you on PC? If so, check the threadmarks.

also did anyone else get an email that said if you sign up for COD league updates you can get 2x xp when you start the game up? i signed up but don't even know if it actually worked or not.

According to his profile, he was a Delta Force operator before joining the CIA's Special Activities Division/Center which is their paramilitary/covert action branch.
Don't think so


Yeah, he was part of Army Delta and had a history in special ops military service before joining the CIA's Special Activities Division (SAD).
So it's fair to say Alex is equally trained to price and garrick but is more focused on small arms
