I've been having so much fun with his game on my PS4. I also do BF4 and Destiny, but AW is tons of fun. I waited until reviews and feedback were available, and still managed to get the Zero Day Edition.

Great job On this game now we just need some patches and lower that damn Season Pass price. Too expensive.

did you feel like you could not react before in 1v1 situations?

I definitely could, my scores were still positive but nothing absolutely amazing. I would find a lot of times my deaths would just make absolutely no sense. Something funky was definitely going on there. Feels loads better now! Still not sure if its dedicated servers though. Maybe just improved matchmaking?

Are there on and off dedicated servers? I am sure I am playing in one now. Everything is so smooth.. Exo works perfectly... Balanced every match so far. I wish it was always like this.. Now I am scared of leaving this room haha

Cant wait to get back on this HOPEFULLY tomorrow. They are putting in a new water main near my house, and our cable is underground and it got ripped up.

thanks, i hope it's better on ps4 also.. them bullshit deaths drove me batshit cray
 
I feel like titanfall has spoiled me with movement options since this feels so clunky in multiplayer. Still fun but a bit less because someone's already made the same but better.

Can anyone post the leaderboard number for Xbox One / Xbox 360 / PS3 / PC? Really interested to see the breakdown of player counts across platforms and how it compares to Ghosts.

Multiplayer Player Totals:
- PS4: 2,212,243 players (http://imgur.com/8daowF8)
- XBox One: 1,755,755 players (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=138295525&postcount=8264)
- PS3: ????????
- Xbox 360: 1,274,270 players (https://imgur.com/iJbXFAC)
- PC: ????????

Added Xbox 360 and Xbox One (would love a screenshot, even potato-quality, of xbox one)

Xbox 360 numbers are really, really surprising imo.

I decided to test the hypothesis that a crappy connection results in an advantage in this game.

A quick search gave me this program, which lets you screw up your connection in many arbitrary ways.

My connection is decent. I live in the Netherlands and I think some of the game's servers are hosted here. Normally I should have a ping under 20ms, so I added a delay of 70 ms to my outgoing traffic. I played a couple of games and the result was very noticeable. No more instant deaths. It felt like I was ahead of the other players. They couldn't touch me. Nothing you would expect from playing with a ping of 120.

If this isn't a fluke, this is ridiculous. This feels like cheating.

I started to play momentum and uplink. Those modes are fun but it ruining my Kill death ratio so I'm just sticking with tdm.

Added PC. Will try to get PS3 and a screenshot of Xbox One
 
I never get any good armor in supply drops. I saw the Sentinel Airborne Loadout today which almost looks like power armor from Fallout. I also don't have any of those cool full helmets yet.

If they are fun then why care about your KDR? Gaming is supposed to be fun. Don't punish yourself for some arbitrary and worthless stat that will get you nowhere in life.

That brings the total to 6.8 million players.

Wow, that's pretty good for CoD yes? I wonder what percentage of people haven't played multiplayer yet.

My brother and me counts as 2 accounts with 1 game and I know this happens a lot, so the leaderboards are not accurate.

This is ridiculous. Completely dominated for two matches in a row and murdered every hostile moving thing. The next match I'm on the wrong side of the lag compensation and I die every time I get into a fight. The final death kill cam shows me just staring down the guy who kills me, but on my end I had put a full clip into him before he fired even once. He wasn't even looking at me when I started shooting.

Cool game, guys!

Being on the wrong side of lag compensation is far more infuriating than being on the right side of it is fun. It's a hollow fun, because after you win 10 1v1 fights in a row, you know that it's just a by product of the game giving you an artificial advantage.

Because when I start to have more deaths than kills i am no longer having fun. Problem is I go after objectives. I get a decent amout of flag captures but I am also going like 13-30 in the process.

What's most shocking to me is how prevelant old-gen is. I thought business analysts were proclaiming old-gen as "dead"? I guess CoD brings people out again.

Get an update on those numbers in a week and see how much they've changed, I bet they've changed already, still good numbers considering it's only been a week.

Yep. If your router or ethernet program supports it, you can throttle your downstream and upstream as well on the fly to act as a lag switch of sorts. Personally, I've switched from my 1ms 300Mbps connection to a 1 bar 3G personal mi-fi hotspot in order to even stand a chance. The difference is night and day.

Titanfall is much more fluid. Though I played a few matches of Titanfall this weekend and I was constantly trying to boost dash forward. The boost strafing and boost dash would fit nicely into Titanfall, hopefully Respawn puts a boost maneuver into Titanfall 2.
