Don't bother with the season pass with the way the game is right now. The upcoming maps could be complete shit and the game still broken.
Besides, who knows what'll happen to the PC community as well if the game population just continues to dwindle because of hacking and shit PC support.
I'm starting to think the quick reloading in multiplayer isn't a glitch, and just works differently than single player. It seems like if I reload when I have more than around half my magazine, I always lose the remaning bullets. Where as if I have less than half, sometimes I don't.

Just get it on G2A, much cheaper...

Playable for me on pc, but the game seems lackluster compared to BF4. So much less content and the unlocks and weapons seem much less than other previous COD games, passed on Ghost so can't speak for that one.

The ending just kind of happened and the last mission was not great at all.
Definitely better than Ghosts though. Ghosts was so bad, I just never even got near finishing it.

Digital version keeps locking up my PS3. I'll still get looping sound but I cant access PS menu or anything, have to turn console off. It'll take a few seconds, beep three times and then shut off.

Thats surprising. Figured your time would be in Exo Survival rather than PVP.
Unfortunately Exo Survival reminds me most of Aliens: Colonial Marines. The AI just isn't really there, so it doesn't feel like you're fighting soldiers as much as zombies with guns.
Finished the campaign and enjoyed it - but have to put it just below the MW titles. The AI in this game needs to improve - not to make it harder or even smarter, but to make it actually sell the illusion the game is trying to present better. This game is filled with tropes that have outlived their usefulness and can't keep up with the scenarios the level designers are dreaming up. AI chatter doesn't conform to reality barking at you to push forward even when you're pinned down with no support. Enemies bee-line past allied AI and rush towards you as if nobody else was there - its THAT stuff that needs dramatic reworking. And not reworking to change the nature of the game, but to actually fit the nature of the game.
That said I'd easily recommend this game for its campaign provided it was two player co-op, but alas...

I haven't even tried it yet other than one solo run that didn't go well. Is that double XP too this weekend?

I just unlocked the threat grenade. What's the benefit of choosing that over the variable grenade that already has threat as one of it's options?
Yep, I sold my copy today for $45 on CL. Just not fun at all, and with the MCC coming up there's no reason to put up with this garbage. Worst CoD I've played.

It is a glitch, they're working on a patch and have mentioned it.
Um... is the game glitching out, or has my account been hacked?
So, I'm in create-a-class, and decide to try out the Bulldog for the first time. To my surprise, there are two attachments unlocked already for it. So, I select it, and play.
What the fuck is that on the side of my gun!!!! My emblem, in game, is now a swastika. On every gun I use.
But when I go back and look at my profile, nothing has changed.

You can't remotely detonate variable grenades whereas you can with the threat and stun.
I've mentioned the honeymoon phase before the thread reached a hundred pages and had a feeling that's what I was reading from posters. I'm glad my initial impression on this game from Sunday are still the same. Just a mediocre ass Call of Duty game. Again.

360?
PS4.
Edit: I had not created an emblem yet, so went into settings, and selected one. Now I see the new emblem on my back, and the emblems on the gun disappeared.
Interesting. I've been playing a lot of TDM and I've noticed most of my matches end within 6 kills which should support that. Either there is skill based match making or the skill gap is really tiny with all the jumping and shit idk.
What kind of w/l are you guys rocking? I was 3-5 w/l in other COD only about a 1.3 in AW right now. Mostly play with squad of 3-4 players.
The problem I have is the maps clearly weren't designed for having no jump though. There are a lot of areas you can't access from one spawn side vs the other which are accessible from both sides with jumps. The temple map in particular is a slaughterfest for the team that spawns down low.
Lol noticed that too, tdm leader board stats get locked where they are when you prestige, assuming its a bug.
Has it been that way since day 1? Now that I think about it I don't ever recal seeing people past level 50 on the first prestige.

Do 2xp items stack with the 2xp weekend?
It sucks you have to play it outside of matchmaking in order to get to the end of all the tiers. Playing it by yourself feels weirdly depressing to me.

I got lucky and made it to round 7^3 my first game with randoms. Got the two map flip trophies out of the way. Luckily, you can mooch the bonus round trophy off someone who has Riot unlocked.

Seriously, its Aliens: Colonial Marines, when you're fighting humans instead of aliens. Its chunky and one-dimensional.
Did a different team work on the co-op? Its feels so disjointed compared to the campaign.
Then again some of the campaign levels feel very polished while others feel very much less so.

They should have just copied Extinction. That is one of the very few things Ghosts got right.
If not extinction the survival mode from ghosts, I can't comprehend how they could mess up co-op so damn bad in this game.

I wish they would rebalance survival so that you could buy the armor upgrades earlier. It is so hard to even get to level 10 with a bunch of pubs.
Maybe you selected the different versions of the guns? Like with my Ak-12 I have 3 different versions, before I actually get to select the gun itself, some come with attachments and skins preloaded.
About the emblem thing... not sure. Just change it in the customisation area.
I got both in a random game.
I just have to do the bonus wave and play 50 rounds of this *thing*.

I really wish there was a way to share these
Completely agree, I was kind of shocked by how BLAND exo survival was. I've probably put in a good 5 hours + farming that Zombie set + skin, and my brain was switched off the entire time.
If anyone wants the Zombie skin, hit me up, I'm on XB1 and can get you on the riot map

Damn... would take you on that offer, but PS4.
Any PS4 users want to suffer through this abhorrent mode together? I need some mental stimulation.

Spec-Ops is still probably my favorite co-op mode in any Call of Duty game. I wish one of the teams would bring it back. I actually don't really mind Exo-Survival, as I think it's still much better than the Survival mode in MW3, but playing it alone isn't a whole lot of fun to me.
My best advice is to just do it alone as a private match. Easiest that way, I don't really have any recommendation for what class to play. Noticed they're all fairly balanced, most of the time I played Specialist, I really liked how OP the Rocket turret was, but hate how you only get a shotgun.
Light is really nice and fun, as you will probably be moving and dodging more, but you have to rely on your weapon so upgrading it as fast as possible is a must.
Heavy I found to be the most boring, not sure if I was doing it wrong (as I decided to save and upgrade my armour to max first).
At this point I am just at a loss what to do when I play. I am literally getting killed right after I kill someone. Either that or a line someone up and I get shot from the back or the side. It's been going on for hours and I don't know what I can do differently because you're not safe anywhere in this game. I have no idea how people can get over one kill death ratio.
I know how you feel, I was pretty much like that at the start (and still am a bit). I recommend you get an Ak-12, set up a suppressor, parabolic mic, stock, and also grab the blast suppressor and low profile perks.
This way you are really hard to find, and just spend your time working in sectors, I always would run somewhere camp it out a bit get a few kills and then move on to another section as soon as the enemy team realise you've been camping there.
Just keep moving, but take it easy. Also always predict your enemies, I noticed at the start everyone tries to run to the other side, so take the long way round and try and flank them from behind.

Have to stop playing this until shit gets fixed.
Is there even a solution to the spawning? Considering how all over the place players are.
Also, I've come to the conclusion that a 30% health bump would be fantastic (with adjustments to some weapons). I've been playing it in bot mode, and it feels pretty good. 150% may be even better

Honestly, they just need to implement a safety net and either add a timed spawn delay or not let you spawn at all if an enemy is within a certain distance of you.
I think the problem is everyone is so all over the place, that the distance thing would not help much. I've learned to predict probably 60% of the spawns, if I don't see any team mates behind me on the mini map, I assume that someone is about to spawn there.
