One omission I have noticed. Is there no barracks in this? Can't seem to find anywhere to view my stats.

It will be coming later. Which is good as all my mates are way better than me and I get utterly smashed when I play with them. When I play by myself I normally do quite well. One of them got a nuke in his first game with us yesterday, I struggle to get a 10 streak on a really good day  |

I see people worrying not so much about stats but about in game achievements resetting when it does become available. The example given if what if you got a nuke - will it register when the barracks eventually does open up or will you have to try get it again. |

I know it's not everyone's cup of tea but I'm thankful for Invasion having a bunch of bots for me to farm so I feel like I'm actually contributing somewhat, because boy am I slow compared to everyone else. Quite happy to finish mid-table most matches.

Invasion was awesome until they nerfed the AI xp. Was the best way to unlock stuff.

Invasion for me might as well be called 'Walk to where I think there might be some bots and then get sniped or killstreaked on the way there'

People are using it to level snipers quite a bit, once they have some that it should become a bit less snipey

I came top of the pile a couple of times last night on tdm. Still got some life in me yet.
Now that I've said that, I will get butt-fucked on it later.

There's been a game or two where we've won and I've placed top two, but generally if I'm above third or fourth I'm usually losing as it's an indicator of being on a crap team - I play predominantly objective games.
Looking at Reddit, you'd think this game has personally shit on the shoes of everybody's mother - but I've not had this much fun with a game since I reckon Forza Horizon 4's release.
To the extent tonight is the first night of me rationing myself. I got to the end of the weekend and regretted hiding from my family and getting no reading or music done. I'm finding it to be digital crack.

Had an afternoon of getting utterly smashed on it. Barely finished anywhere that wasnt bottom as I was playing with my mates. The matchmaking with them is brutal and every game is full of jump diving ninjas who instantly headshot you the second you enter a 50 meter radius to you.
I am not on the level and I don't think I even broke even on a game all day.
However I discovered the canted vibro dot 7 laser attachment. It's fantastic and I recommend you unlock it as soon as possible. It replace the optic but it's such a clean sight and speeds up your ads which helps loads.

Bought this, so hope you're all correct that it's good!
Scamper through campaign with a bit of mp on the side to start.
Should be a decent pace change from plaguw tale requiem

Yeah, I ended up caving and picking it up too. Just about to give it whirl.
Not played a CoD in ages. Last one I think was Blops 2, which I had on the Wii U for some reason.

Ok, seems I still have a few skills with FPSs; just came first in my first free for all game. Well, technically it was a tie, but I had the better K:D.
Also got a particularly buzz during a team death match game when I managed to get the jump on a bunch of enemies and scored a triple kill.
Single player seems more of the same, which I guess is fine. I'll probably play it all, but it isn't my kind of single player FPS. Give me a Doom or a Half Life, but I can see the appeal.

Wait until it gives you a sbmm rating, the first few games it puts you in with the people with no thumbs. You will be against dolphin diving ninjas soon enough |

I've no doubt it won't be long before I'm being 360-no-scoped every 5 seconds.

Getting major lag issues tonight and after each match my loadouts disappear until I reconnect.

Mine was absolutely rock solid today for the first time. No crashes, no bugs and the only downer my was shitness.
Levelled the spr which is outrageously overpowered. Also did the SO-14 which is a battle rifle which is great fun with the 50 round drum and full auto. Polished off a few others that had a level or 2 to go as well.

Should have waited until the HC mode was out, just not an enjoyable game for me without it.
Loving the maps so far though.

The maps are definitely much improved on last time round. I've mostly been arsing about in ground war and invasion.
Some annoying bits, but fewer and further in between than in the usual quick play list.
It's so much more enjoyable than my online experience of vanguard. I haven't even started the campaign yet either, although A plague tale requiem is kind of scratching that singleplayer itch for now.

The TAQ-56 is the one! Since unlocking that core is a lot more bareable.
That border crossing map is insane when you have good teams on both sides.

So Warzone and the new DMZ have landed along with the ability to prestige. The latter also appears to have cured a progression bug where the after action report showing your weapon progress etc wasn't showing and then your loadouts would disappear (it's possible this only kicked in at level 55 on Xbox, I haven't heard of it from other platforms). Anyway, sorted now.
Warzone holds no interest for me but I've had a play in DMZ and it's quite good. Reportedly it's 'Tarkov lite' but I know next to nothing about that game, I guess it reminds me somewhat of Destiny in a way.
One huge map you can solo or work in a team of three. There will be other players who if encountered may trigger PVP but in general you are fighting bots. You explore and loot and have access to a minimap where you can 'ping' (mark) objectives which turn into branching mini-missions.
You then have to extract by helicopter, and will lose most gear or loot you had permanently if you fail to do so.
That said, you have 'insured' loadout slots but you'll be time penalised on taking your insured gun in if you fail to extract.
There's a new rifle - the M13 (ACR) which can only be gained in here unless you pay cash for it. I nearly got it solo last night but the extraction process triggers waves of armoured enemies as you wait for the heli and I got murdered.
I suspect this mode would be a LOT of fun with friends on mics, which doesn't happen at the age of 40.

If you want the m13 I have it and can drop it for you. We just need to go into a game and extract and have me drop it for you.
First time we got it my mate got killed by a team of 3 when we tried to get on the heli, the next few times the zone was full of enemy players, managed to kill them but the one with the gun ran away. Easies way to do it solo if you want to do it yourself is to run him over in a car and then gfto before anyone else shows up.

Tried the DMZ last night and thought it was great fun with a buddy. Will definitely be giving it another go tonight.

New HC mode is very good, really minimal HUD and generally a lot slower paced than core. And no bullet sponge!
Still not a fan of how weapons are unlocked behind different modes etc
IS there a barracks type thing where you can see your stats and challenges to complete? Can't seem to find one.

Yeah it got added with s1. Iirc it's the tab next to settings but the UI is such a shambles I can't be sure.
