Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Is it possible to make it so that the application launches directly into Black Ops, instead of having to go through the hub and then load BLops 6 ?

edit: adamsapple adamsapple this only counts for the campaign, loading the hub also loads blops6 MP/Zombies, but for some reason the campaign is it's own instance.

I am also curious. Really annoyed me when I played MW2 I think?

I distinctly remember one of the last one's (maybe it was MW3) would load directly into MW3 instead of any kind of hub after first boot, or it asked my preference to do so.

Not sure if I'm remembering correctly or just a fever dream.

the hub always boots into the latest game, though I can't remember if MWII and MWIII campaigns required separate loading as well.

Is double xp real time? Like if i pop one and it uses 35 minutes and then shut down do I still have the remaining 25min when I log in or does it count down in the background still

It’s really good, but MP is a sweaty mess at the moment.

The preorder guns are also able to outrange most.

Should settle down in a few days.

I forget just how sharp and fast paced these campaigns can be. Having played SH2 and AW2 DLC at 30 FPS and the terribly fluctuating Metaphor, coming to this is like a revelation.

Also, sprinting sideways and backwards! Just fucking add jetpacks ala Titanfall 2 next time lol.

Lots of interesting things to explore and puzzles to solve in the safe house mansion. Reminds me of the mystery and intrigue of the first Blops. Very nice.

Liking this campaign so far, a lot more than last years MW3 for sure.

Makin me want to get off work and play it. Last campaign I loved was probably Cold War? It has some really good missions. How would you place it so far relative to that one?

Haven't played enough to rank it, but even at this point I can safely say this is better than MW2/3 remake campaigns and the Vanguard etc bullshit. This is a proper classic Black Ops style campaign.

The Hub mansion is almost like exploring the Croft mansion in the early Tomb Raider games.

I cannot be the only person who thinks this excessive sliding and jumping ruins the otherwise fun gameplay? This shit is so annoying and ruins the flow of maps. The last few cods have been ruined because of this movement spam

it's a bastardized quake at this point. took them 20 years to finally come around to realizing twitch shooters are the most fun and what keep people playing and moving away from boring ass slow camp fests. but it doesn't go with the whole CoD vibe, which has always been sniper based slow ass camping, and hiding in corners 🤷🏼‍♂️

There's only the odd person who is proficient with it. Most just jump and then you take them out.

Sliding is annoying though yeah. Would be good to have a playlist with no omnimovement or sliding for sure

Just had a quick mooch around the PC version (Gamepass). They did something really weird with the settings. So the game has, essentially a Battlefield-esque "hub" launcher thing, you can manage other CoD games within it. The options on the main page are just for that, if you want more graphical, controls, other options, you have to go into the game.It took me a minute to figure it out. It's really weird and i've never seen it before. Game feels great though. Also has native HDR, which is a big W.

No.

Adapt or die.

The future is now old man.
Some of us finer gentlemen remember the differences between quake 3 and counter strike, and would just prefer a good old fashioned counter strike mode.

Nowt wrong with a brandy and cigars playlist. And you can still have your monster chugging, ball tugging, face on the monitor playlists too.

Nah im with you, the spazzed out movement and quickscoping are the worst aspects of modern cod.

The recent MW2 was the best CoD has felt in the last like decade but zoomers are the loudest about how much they hate having to think before they jump into a room spamming their meta smg.
 
Strangely enough there doesn't seem to be a music player in zombies this time?
I guess I'll share my apple music zombies playlist again, these were most of the tracks I used in cold war with the in-game music player

What were the preorder guns? I only have the default ones
Sorry, not pre-order. Rather, the Vault edition.

There’s an Assault Rifle with good range and stability, as well as an ok Sniper.

They won’t be much in a week’s time, but they’re much better than any gun you’ll get before about level 20ish.

I’m torn.

I do like it, and it is enjoyable. But it does tend to dilute gameplay. There’s going to be a lot of sliding shotgun nonsense.

Really improves Zombies though.

Anyone has a fix for the annoying water-flickering bug ?

I tried turning off the weather toggle thingy and the physics one but didnt do shit lol.

But all the design choices of the earlier CoDs were based around it being a military shooter. The new movement just feels incongruent to the setting and the rest of the game.

You can now jump off 30ft drops while receiving almost no fall damage and spam slide 15ft at a time. It’s just too goofy and annoying. Even for CoD.
