Played 1 hour with a buddy on XboxOne. Feels better than the beta connection wise. But is it me or does the aiming feel a bit heavy? Dont know what it is.

Thanks, cdkeys staff just answered to my support ticket, they said they can give me the key, but won't refund it if it won't work. So I told them for the third time that I DO want it. I activated and played the not denazified Wolfenstein game with flyvpn, too. At any rate, I won't get to play until Friday night now, because I have to wake up to go to work in a bit more than six hours :(
After finishing first 3 missions i'm not impressed if not disappointed.
Advanced Warfare's opening mission "Induction" (https://youtu.be/1sRUZ9p4oYQ) had one of the best animations i've seen in any game and it was a powerful start from every angle.It still holds up as best looking CoD mission to date for me yet WWII's opening and the following missions are so underwhelming i can't describe the feeling but everything felt "old" to me even WWII's standard it's super generic to look at, every character is a well known stereotype , sounds are generic, musics are generic, i hope it shifts up after third mission.I don't know if Glen and Michael focused more on Zombies because they missed Dead Space but something is not right here.I don't like the future setting but i now better understand Infinity Ward has done an incredible job with Infinite Warfare's singleplayer (kudos to that Naughty Dog guys.) yet most of the people insta bash because of it's multiplayer.
On the multiplayer side of things, gameplay is good but Sledgehammer proved that they have the worst map designers and hey only 9 classic maps out of the box is a crime.Good old MW2 had 16 good maps out of the box which at least 5 of them became a fan favorite.It had 6 different factions with different announcers, spawn and end themes etc.Even loot is lazy in WWII.There are 64 different pistol grips (you can barely see them because characters hand covers it) in collections because they want to reduce the odds for getting higher level item i opened at least 6 supply drops and probably got 5 pistol grips.And there is no weapon camouflage in the collections.

What gun are you using? I was just watching The Race stream and they have a developer on there saying the auto aim is based on the weapon type.
Enjoyed AWs, never finished BLOPS3, hated IW. Looking forward to this one since it's Sledgehammer.
Im going with the Thompson. My buddy is using a different gun and has the same feel. And with Heavy aim im not talking about the Auto Aim. Im talking about the general feeling when turning around etc
Just booted on PS4 (no patch needed after preload, yay!) and was pleasantly surprised by the fact it has tuneable HDR.
I have a feeling people are going to be disappointed with the game now because it's strickly boots on the ground. I think the genre has moved on with all the new abilities strategies.
I bet after 2 months people will be bored and complain about the snipers again. I've seen a heavy uptick in snipers today on videos I've watched.

Some stores, mainly mom and pop shops, usually sell copies early.
Then you have Craigslist/eBay where you may get lucky, too.
It's been like this for a few years.
Currently preloading the game on PS4 and should be good to go at midnight. I'll jump in that discord as well. It was a nice surprise to see a fellow NYC'er creating the Discord. Thanks for that.
Thank you for the response.
For some reason, I thought those who pre-ordered digital version had early access.
Seriously? I almost bought the preorder, but figured I should wait for the reviews. I was not hyped after the beta, but the WW2 setting is the only thing that I'm interested in by this game..
I have been looking for confirmation on Pro enhancements, and you're the first I've come across that mentions HDR. Thanks!
The problem is multifold here.
First the visual effects don't have the punch that they should, second of all the sound really lets it down, definitely doesn't have the punch or impact it should.
Third, Medal of Honor: Frontline had like the exact same opening about 15 years ago.
I don't just mean the D-Day thing, I mean the everyone on your boat gets shot, you jump in the water, you have one yelling commander figure guiding you up the beach, "Get the Bangalore to the wire", "reach the sea wall", take cover behind tank barricades, the whole 9 yards.
I get there's always some semblance of overlap just based on the nature of the event, but this is really familiar territory in terms of presentation
Just depends on when the redbox is stocked. Could be midnight. Could later in the morning. Earliest I've rented was midnight mountain time.
That has to be some of the worst sound design I've heard in an AAA title in a long time.
There is absolutely no impact to anything that's flying around. Just when it looks like something is careening towards the player, all that you hear is some muffled little effect. Dunno how they screwed that up.
There's a problem when a 15 year old game has sound effects that are just as impactful, if not more impactful, than a game you put out today.
You're absolutely right.
But the major problem is that opening paragraph of yours. As you say, we first saw this 15 years ago. But weve not seen it an awful lot over the last few years. Technical advances SHOULD be able to lend themselves to this scene to MAKE it look fresh and stunning and bring it to life in a way videogames haven't been able to do full justice to since these games were last popular. Instead this looks stale and old. It genuinely does look and sound empty and boring. Soulless.
This isn't the first time I've said it and won't be the last, but imagine DICE doing that. I think a 64 player Operations round set on Omaha beach would have more visual and audio impact than this opening set piece of a Call of Duty campaign has. And that's just sad.
See what awesome pistol grips that guy got!!
For just $3.99 on PlayStation store you can get some awesome pistol grips too!!!!
First mission as others here have said is been there done that and has a QTE followed by a on the rails section that feels like it belongs in COD 3.
Only the first mission but it makes me long for Brothers in Arms or a Frontline remake. Hopefully it picks up but not off to a good start for me campaign wise.

Feel like I am missing something incredibly simple with sniping in this game. Can't seem to get the hold breath thing to work. Thought maybe it's cause I was the wrong division and didn't have that sharpshooter thing but I created a Mountain class but still can't get it to go. Everytime I press the button is just descopes me.
Aside from that this seems like a really solid PC port. The setting of graphics options showing examples of each different setting is incredible. Game seems to also have some in depth systems to keep you playing which seem cool, but confusing at first. Need to dig into it more.

Since Blops 3 cod start out with cosmetic boxes then switches over to weapons.
There's a chance, god willing, that they will continue the IW model of being able to unlock the base versions of new guns through challenges.
Well my opinion for what it's worth is the multiplayer sucks. If I had to describe it in one word it would be boring. They've basically stripped it right back to what feels like pre-MW and not in a fun nostalgic way it just feels super dated.
I've played six games and I honestly feel like I've seen everything this game has to offer. There's no hook you just run into death every five seconds. It just feel like the worst parts of modern paintball cod on a bunch of drab maps.
The most fun I've had so far is standing in front of people opening loot boxes and saluting. They don't like that.

it unlocks at midnight. I got wolfenstein last week alittle after midnight even though the site wouldnt let me reserve or show locations. I'm guessing cause there west coast based and the site updates at 3am. So if your close it's worth a shot to just go look.
Just over 4 hours on metacritic.
edit: just over 2 hours on opencritic
I think I'm going to buy cod again, but only for the campaign and zombies. Multiplayer is too stressful for me
How long is the campaign supposed to be? I'm basically deciding between this or Wolfenstein 2 for when I finish with Assassin's Creed Origins.
Review embargo lifts at 9pm PST, 11pm CST, etc.
Get Wolfenstein if looking for a great campaign.

:( I haven't been able to find a good FPS multiplayer game in forever.
I'm definitely leaning that way, just wanted to see what the reviews for this one look like. I have fond memories of CoD2. Though that was a different time and a different developer.
And the Horizon DLC comes out next week, too. Too many games!
Good start. Liking the Destiny-alike hub with all the stuff (missions, quests, training, mail,...). They improved the social thing heaps. Havent touched the campaign yet nor planning to do it soon. Multiplayer is amazing. Snipers feels good. Advance Warfare seems better at the moment (my favorite CoD shooter ever), lets see. So far really good.
