Call of Duty Eleventy Billion Blops 6

Played the first couple of missions and it seems... fine. Kind of underwhelmed to be honest. Might give another mission or two a go, but may not bother playing too much of it unless it picks up a bit.

Multiplayer is fun though. Probably not something I would rush out and buy at full price, but well worth a Game Pass sub for. Mostly just more CoD style shooting fun, but the omnidirection stuff does add a spicy twist.

That was my 2nd favourite campaign mission so far. It takes a bit of series knowledge but lmg's completely trivialise the boss fights. Use another weapon for clearing adds as the reload is a bit long for that bit.

The heist has been my favourite level though, I thought It was excellent.

The heist/convention levels were great and really felt very alive in a way that game environments don’t always. The castle in RE4 remake is another recent one which springs to mind.

Warzone integration coming with the new movement and BO6 weapons soon. They are also getting rid of the backpack system and going back to verdansk style looting.

You may think you won't use the new movement but the aiming whilst prone and all direction sprint is a game changer.

I really like the feel of the guns and the audio feedback from landing shots. Not gone too far out of the AR's yet but the 4 I have used all feel decent and I felt competitive with all of them.

Had 25 sniper kills to do for a daily but got that done in one game and managed to get play of the game with a quad kill 😂.

Had a brief go with the tanto as well and it's quite an interesting smg as it seems to fire slow but hits really hard. If you can hit your shots it's a beast.

It's an arcade shooter and has been much closer to that than a military shooter for most of its history. IW push it closer to a military shooter when they release a game but most of the player base want a fast paced high movement fps game.

Warzone 2 almost killed the game off as it was so slow paced compared to one.

I wish we could still play the single player bit of Titanfall 1. I’ve always favoured Xbox narrowly but during the infamous sports Tv Tv reveal, the footage of that absolutely sealed the deal. There is still stuff in TF1 that number 2 didn’t do as well - I’m sure the options for landing on enemy titans and shooting panels off and stuff were simplified.

Anyway…it got its hooks into me properly tonight and I bought the Battlepass upgrade only to realise it isn’t live yet lol. The maps on this are some of the most fun I’ve played in years - particularly the shopping area one, the train yard and the two desert maps I think are brilliant. I’ve dipped into mainly TDM, a little bit of Free for All and Domination. I often like a bit of Hardpoint but will want to know the maps better first. I’ll say Free for All can give a bit of a false impression of your skill - every time I played that I got a bit battered in a proper team mode.

I still think that the Barracks and class UI stuff needs a bit of work but I’m convinced I can get lots of hours of fun out of this now.

I personally think this can co-exist with the Battlefield feel, but Battlefield hasn’t had the feel it needs since 4 for me (I think I put about 200 hours into that back in the day).

Haven't played call of duty in any form for about 4 years, Warzone included.

Grouped with some equally low level players earlier it was alot of fun. Just now having been dumped onto a lobby with very high level players, it's literally the first time I felt to old to play a game.

With Battlefield, positioning even with the latest game still plays a big role. The level of skill, muscle memory and reaction time for this I feel is almost beyond me!

I'll keep trying, it's all very well made and slick. The "play of the match" replay especially might be old news, but it's a nice touch. While also reminding me just how bad I am at the game!

So the mission that starts in the desert (with the SAS) how many of us (i.e. me) cleared all the icons off the map before proceeding! I expected to get cheeky cheveo but nowt popped no matter as I really enjoyed it, reminded me of the recent GR games or Gears 5 in the skiff

In all honesty I'm old and can still compete, you just have to be smarter about how you approach fights.

SBMM will protect you anyway and the players in the lowest brackets can barely move their character let alone shoot anything.

Give it a go, stick with your team mates and let them be the one at the front until you know what you are doing.

You don't have to run around like a ninja, jumping and sliding. Holding angles and playing smart will net you just as many kills.

Just prepare to be called a camping piece of shit 😂

I played 10 minutes of the campaign. Got bored. Deleted it.

Having not played a campaign since Modern Warfare 1. I just felt it was exactly the same, with some spruced up graphics. Not for me. 

God, I forgot all the create an account bullshit with these game. Hoping there’s enough boops to compensate when I finally get in.

I probably spent more time creating an account, than playing the campaign haha.
