Yea, I think they got this one right. Feels pretty great. Love the futuristic setting.

 

[GoldenEye98]

Just played a few matches. Seems alright. Basically a futuristic version of Blops 6?

Strafing movement in particular feels more aggressive...was basically running into walls at first whenever I'd turn.

The game generally seems to run a bit better than Blops 6.

 

[M1chl]

Is it just me, who things that the graphics or rather overall presentation seems like from X360 era? Not that IQ or anything is ba, just that there a lot of bigass fonts, in the game there is some sort of haze everywhere and BO6 looks to me way better. Maps are also kind of boring in two colors, should be more colorful future... like Killzone: Shadowfall. Not feeling this one, to be honest

 

[GoldenEye98]

Played some more. Not sure how I feel about the maps. I think I like Cortex. But the other two...Exposure and something else just feel slightly too big? Felt like there situations where nobody was meeting for long periods.

 

[OverHeat]

Got to level 15 the game is ok so far.

 

[twilo99]

This flavor feels like Apex

 

[twilo99]

Was finally able to get on,and I like the movement and gunplay much more than BO6

Movement is 95% the same tho which is great for me.

The gunplay is good and I think the sound effects are better than BO6 overall.

The aesthetics are quite nice as well.

Anyone have a beta key for Xbox? Please and thank you.

 

[Hip Hop]

Had an Infinite Warfare feel to me, mixed with Black Ops 6.

 

[ValiantInstance]

Just saw a vid from a guy saying that his Cod Next lobbies against Optic felt easier than what he played yesterday

 

[BigLee74]

As expected, it's just like a reskinned Black Ops 6, with worse wall running than Black Ops 3.

Menus, scoreboard, they're all the same (with a different font) doing nothing to help at least pretend it's a new game.

I much preferred the days when they all ran on slightly different engines and at least felt different to play!

Of course I'll play it.

 

[Calverz]

How is it then?

Finally got on after work for a session. It's call of duty alright and that's not a bad thing. That's up the eyes of the beholder though. Shit is fun and smooth as always. Gunplay feels better then 6 but once people get used to this jumping shit people are gonna move like crackheads.

COD community every fucking time.

Moan about SBMM ruining the game(which i somewhat agree with) but will go ahead buying the game anyway.

That will show activision.

Not to fall into the 'this time is different' crowd, but this time is indeed different.

This is pathetic by Call of Duty's standards.

Now let's play a little quiz, will Activision:

a) address the complaints and change the matchmaking
b) bury their heads in the sand like an ostrich

We all know the answer, and that makes the situation even more depressing.

Also this is worth noting

Wait, so that's only 75k people playing Call of Duty across the board? ie: Warzone, BLOPS6 and BLOPS 7 beta? They are all included in the launcher no?

Indeed. Around 30k people played the closed beta and a good number of those (myself included) dipped after an hour or two.

I would suspect that the numbers on Sunday will still be higher though because it will open up to everyone but if not... big oof.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Already cheaters in the beta

 

[Orbital2060]

Bad timing for me, gonna join in next week.

 

[Antwix]

Anyone have a beta key for Xbox? Please and thank you.

If you still need a code, let me know

 

[Artistic]

I do please.

 

[BigLee74]

Played a few games now and quite enjoyed it

Only played on two maps, but they both seemed decent. I quite like the cleaner lines brought about by futuristic themes.

It's not full wall sliding which is also good.

Didn't see any smokes Hope they are in the full game. I hate trying to go for a capture point without smoking my way there!

 

[TheMan]

Did they bring back the large maps?

 

[splattered]

I had a lot of fun w the beta yesterday but I already have too many games to play. I'm gonna delete the beta today and nitnlook back the rest of the year. Got BL4 and BF6 to look forward to.

 

[clarky]

Did they bring back the large maps?

What do you mean?

 

[Orbital2060]

How long do the beta rewards take to unlock? Can you do it in a weekend?

 

[Data Ghost]

I played two maps, had very low interest and noped out of the game. It's maybe too early to say but I think I may be done with Call of Duty, it doesn't help that I am not a fan of the futuristic ones. Dont like the WW2 ones either. I'm so hard to please haha.

 

[Audible Silence]

I know generally people say cod is the same every year, but after getting to level 20 last night with some friends, you can't convince me that this is not just a reskinned/expansion of Blops 6. Graphically on PS5, i feel like the whole game is kinda dark... like my TV brightness wasn't high enough, (it was, i checked lol) that could be a "me" situation tho, gonna play on PC tonight and confirm. I like the skewer streak since i can just click the button and not worry about it. I also feel liek the red dots on the optics are a bit clearer and have less bloom. I like that they took the perk from blops 6 and made it permanent, swapping tacitcal sprint as a perk. I like that if you mix catagories of perks, you still get a bonus so are arent forced into 3 reds, blues, or greens.
Would i pay $70 for this? Big NO. Would i play it if i kept my PC gamepass sub? if my friends are on sure. But even today I'm not like "damn i can't wait to get outta work so i can play this weekend" like i have been for the past few years. I'm so thankful that i have an alternative military shooter to play this year with BF6. hopefully next year we get a decent Modern Warfare game, or in my super wishful thinking, titanfall 3.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

Zombies definitely plays like zombies, seems a bit more aggressive than BO6, which was already way more aggressive than cold war/MWZ which will probably just make it even harder for new players to get into.
Lack of tactical sprint is kinda annoying, but perhaps a perk modifier brings it back, though it would be a bit lame to waste a modifier slot for that.

Easy 31 rounds exfil though, the others went at 26 so I think it's pretty cool you can exfil when you want instead of being forced to do what others want.
Went from level 7 to level 17 as well, and maxed out my BO6 battle pass, so that's nice.


That new bear zombie is pretty tough, but wonder weapons seem to tear it apart.

 

[Nintendo's Witch]

I will be very thankful for a beta code for PS5

 

[clarky]

I will be very thankful for a beta code for PS5

Don't think there are many kicking around. Just preorder on Amazon then cancel. They send you a code straight away and you don't get charged.

 

[Housh]

Reminds me a lot of Cold War.
