Depends on the reviewer's standards... For all we know he's a sucker for Spectacle.

So that means that if you like spectacle, you will like the game same as he did, doesn't it?

You're literally creating an argument for the heck of it. I've seen you do this a lot, you enter a thread, and then make a strawman argument going completely contrary to what the thread is about, just to be contrarian. Stop.

Its a start... Wish it were longer though.... The review left a bunch of things out. Clearly didn't put much effort into it....

Then whats the point of the review... To help people who can't form an oppinion on their own ?

...if you wanted to see things for yourself then why did you even click to read the review. you should have just gone to youtube/twitch to begin with to watch gameplay

I think you miss understand me... He can be as biased as he wants.... So long as he explains how it works 1st (or 2nd, the order doesn't really matter).

That way I get my information from someone who played the whole game through and through and people to busy to read will get their summary plus meaningless score... Everybody wins !

Still not going to buy it. Been buying them day one for years.

€60 for a 5-hour campaign is too much. Not to mention they shoved zombies back in there. Could've at least done something different. Oh well.

Zombies is DLC, there's a different survival mode

Since they cut zombies, I kind of wish they had made a Spec Ops mode rather than just survival

Its like Sports Games, the series is loved because it doesn't actually change (it may change alot on the outside but fundementally its still the blueprint). They trust gamers to play something different if they want something different and I respect that.... Don't You ?

Survival Mode is cool.

Spec Ops is so much better than zombies. Playing crazy missions designed for co-op. Had a great time playing that with my brother.

I don't know. I don't think I care. Obviously they're doing something right. I just can't justify that amount of money on such a short campaign.

I don't play MP, since it's always the same.

I was hoping to get it. Then I saw it was 50GB worth of data. Nope. I'll have to get a better internet service.

Idk what platform you're on, but the PC version is a ~42 GB download (no that is any better), but you can buy the physical version which is 6 DVDs to install from

For PC users, the shadow and sun cache options cause the game to look really muddy. when turned off it looks passable

I figured that this COD would be different if anything.

Glad I preordered it. Will be playing tonight.

The review mentions better/more gun-to-gun rather than relying on rolling killstreaks, but there seem to be a fair number of player controlled aerial strikes/gunships

Why would anyone want to play CoD when the MCC is right around the corner?

Because they don't want to get an X1 for "one" game?

Halo is so much more fun than COD. Its fps multiplayer done right.

I'm conflicted. I saw the game running on PS4 today and it looks really good, but I have a few friends who will get it on PS4.

OR... Get it on Xbox One. I haven't seen it running on it yet and from using my PC to compare 1080p and 900p on BO2, not much of a difference on my HDTV. I have a lot more friends getting it on Xbox One and I just bought an Xbox One too.

Sooooo... confused.

It's Call of Duty, it's chiefly a multiplayer game. Get it on the system your friends will get it on.

Half are one and the half are another.

My choice has been made easier though. Some of the Xbox people aren't getting it. PS4 version it is then.

Definitely getting this, haven't really bothered with the series since MW3. Treyarch are garbage and Ghosts looked meh.

You can tell Sledgehammer are passionate about it, plus Kevin Spacey.

I think this game will score a 7. Content wise its a nice package, and the multiplayer will be smooth. The negatives though will be the multiplayer and lack of new/interesting game modes. They seemed to focus more on the cosmetics of the game, see more people on twitch tricking out characters with gear than playing it. With the extended time, i really wished they focused on more multiplayer game modes.
