As far as multiplayer games go, it doesn’t get much better than what we have here.
See, this tells me that SBMM is really doing it’s job because how are you finding games where people can hide and seek?? My games are the complete opposite of what you are describing.

I thought I would check this out as I generally like the single player campaigns. Cross gen in 2024, always online and made for a modern audience. How the mighty have fallen.

In the context of Gunfight... the original MW gunfight maps, well, with one exception (the grassy hilly map with the trench cutting across the middle) all had a design philosophy of the spawns being such that you could poke out instantly and be in a gunfight... and if your opponent didn't also challenge that would give you a lot of info on his position. In later MW DLC maps and especially in Black Ops Gunfight maps the spawns are all completely covered and sometimes you and your teammate even spawn directly on top of each other. Really murders the pacing of the mode and turns it into something else.
In the early MW days many rounds would be ~2 seconds if everyone challenged and your team won both gunfights. That was a good thing. Now it's a bunch of 3 lane discount SnD.

You want them to leave behind around 60million potential players on the PS4 alone just for you? What about all the Warzone players? leaving all those behind as well?I thought I would check this out as I generally like the single player campaigns.

Be a great way to kill COD In one cycle.
Times have changed. COD is way too big these days, they have close to 30million MAU's on COD HQ. This would have cost a small fortune to develop, you don't get decent ROI by cutting off half of your customers unfortunately.

Did you sell the bio weapon in the black market?I get the feeling that I’m not supposed to have 1.5 billion dollars to spend at the safe house after the palace mission, but here we are!

Not just for me, for everyone who bought into next gen.

A better second day now I’m starting to unlock and level some different guns, but there are still very few maps that make me think ‘yes please’ (although I still haven’t played them all).
I’m not overly worried though. Cold War didnt have too many keepers on release day, but had LOTS of great additions during its seasons.
The jankiness of the movement though - still a big urgh!

Doesn't automatically entitle you(and anyone else) to exclusive games. The maths just doesn't add up with games and especially GAAS titles this size.
Like I said the market is different these days. Until the MAU old last gen drops significantly they will still make COD for as many platforms as possible.
Id expect this will be Switch 2 launch title with full crossplay/progression as well.
They are not giving up all those potential players for some extra shinny bits.

Never been much into COD, always preferred Battlefield. But I recently finished the Cold War campaign and had a lot of fun with it so decided to sub to gamepass to play this (and Flight Sim update + Indy when it releases). Want to get into the MP, but I hate Team Deathmatch generally, I much enjoy more objective focussed, squad based game modes. Domination would be the same as Battlefield domination it seems? Like a small Conquest map? What other non-Team Death Match modes do you enjoy the most? Kill Confirmed seems to pretty much be TD again.

Is this worth it just for the campaign?
I don’t play MP. Considering it.

I only played the first mission and some exploring of the safe house, having a lot of fun, It reminds me a bit of Cold War campaign, also looks and runs very good on XSX.
Edit: I'm sure you're aware but anyway... it's on Game Pass if you didn't know.

Cod is far too big to ignore last gen.

Clicking with the multiplayer now, I can see me putting some hours into it. Not sure it's MW1 levels for me yet, but I'm really digging the freneticism here. The movement, especially the dives, is just lining up more interesting moment-to-moment experiences than I've played in a while. It's not huge, industry defining stuff - but players are capable of more interesting tactics, and it's giving this its own flavour. Haven't run into any hard limit bullshit yet, but players are still unlocking everything, meta is still evolving, so I'll see how that plays out. I'm enjoying the maps overall, haven't touched on a standout yet, but I also haven't hit a low point yet. So far, this feels pretty solid to me. One thing that's annoying me, though, is my graphics options reset - especially my image reconstruction. Keeps swapping back to FX instead of DLSS. Game looks like shit and runs like shit - no idea why it keeps doing it.

To be fair, most people are in parties anyway. They should force into game chat really. Let the more experienced players call out. Or Implement BFs squad leader mechanic to set the objective

Worth checking gun attachments as some of them increase the % of salvage drops.

Dude doesn't know about the forced proximity chat when someone is using you as a body shield.

I fucking loathe the convoluted UI mess the menus are for the COD games. Like I just wanna play the campaign. Why so complicated with all this menu spam?

I have played every CoD at release since OG CoD 3 waaay back.
This CoD is great.
Movement is really good.
Gunplay is top tier.
Maps are a mixed bunch.
Graphically very good.
Rock solid 120fps.
Zombies a fantastic return to form too. Even bothered to do the Easter Egg on one of the maps yesterday.
Single Player I will play if my internet is down.
Can't wait for Ranked and WZ too.
No idea how you made your opinion if you played Vanguard or even MW3 (Vanguard was trash and MW3 zombies trash as well as worst campaign ever)
But you know. Opinions.

Yeah I had one match like that yesterday. I could hear everything and press buttons. I had to shut the game down and restart it. Probably a bug

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
They're probably too busy with PS5 Pro coverage, this is the same engine as all the CoD's so it's probably gonna be the same as last years, or the year before etc.

Unfortunately the SP requires an online connection, as it requires texture streaming which can't be turned off. Trade off for a smaller install size

In retrospect, Vanguard MP was actually pretty good. Better than MW2 and MW3 imo. Some great maps, plus it had the game mode ‘Patrol’ which was fantastic.

Eh no.....It was pretty jank. MWIII was a lot better.

not exactly, that's like saying gears 1 and 5 are all the same engine just because it's "unreal".
Their engine got a significant rebuild with MW2019, but then cold war didn't even use it and is practically it's own thing called "the cold war engine", vanguard did use the new build, but with MWII they significantly upgraded the engine again so all their teams are using the same tools, specifically so they could all work together in COD HQ (this is why the older games don't use it), but they still modify it further with each subsequent game.

I think these guys are super proud of certain maps as I am always playing the same 3 or 4 maps
Granted I haven't invested a ton of time in MP yet only being level 30 ish but there are 2 maps I have only played once and 1 I haven't even seen yet and have played the beta maps several times
Even in the voting I am seeing just the same few maps
I really hope when they drop Nuketown it has a 24/7 playlist then will really start grinding camos

I thought BO6 was supposed to eat the SSD space like it was cake or something? I just installed base game and MP and it only takes up 67,5GB. I will install the campaign later when I’ll actually play it.
This isn’t bad at all. There was no need to uninstall the several games that I just did.

It’s FUD and still being spread by people who were broken by the ABK purchase. Facts don’t work on them.

Tried some MP with some friends yesterday and had so much fun, despite being pretty bad at it. Zombies was fun, too.

Yeah, for sure. I mean I heard stuff about 400-500GB but it's nowhere near that. Not even with SP installed. Maybe with Warzone added, but I don't play that. I didn't need to uninstall Witcher 3, Starfield and Doom Eternal for this, ah well.

This is terrible. Sucks I fell into the hype for SP. $70 wasted.

nothing added would make it 500gb, warzone isn't massive either, the listed call of duty size of 300+gb is if you install absolutely everything, that's 3 games, warzone and both their current gen and last gen versions.

Could it be server related?
I had an inverted bug, all my money was gone and nothing I had purchased were there.
In my case it was a cloud save bug, I alternate between living room PC and desktop PC and at a swap it complained that it couldn’t do the syncing, sat at 0%. Mission progression was intact but no money and purchases.
I went to the other PC and started it there on a local save and then exited the game and then the cloud save was updated and everything was back to normal.

You are seeing the same maps because some are better than others for camo grinding.
There is already a map better than nuketown for camo grinding. It’s called stakeout.

Why would you spend $70 just for SP. It’s on gamepass.
