yeah, I though it would've been over in like 8 hours but it kept going, and I wanted to have it done so I could move on to zombies; will do that tomorrow now instead.

They didn’t really grab my attention during that first mission, but it’s too soon to tell. It’s so dramatic without a solid foundation. It feels so rushed.
“You’re suspended. Don’t do anything”
“Meet me in my office in five minutes”
“Don’t get killed”
lol it’s so serious

You play a few games of MP and you know all the maps are weak and can tell the gameplay is weak?

I was playing this early this morning when it launched in Aus and yeh, I dunno how I feel about it.
I havdn't played a COD title since Black Ops on the X360, so I was fresh coming into MW3 a few weeks ago. I have actually really enjoyed the multiplayer. Its very familiar, but at the same time it's also changed a lot. But movement, gun play, feel etc we easy to get back into. My biggest gripe has been K+M vs Pad. In Hardcore, it elinminates some of the auto-aim as it's a one or two hit game, but holy shit is the auto-aim built into pad users over done. I knew other players would have it on cross play, but I never knew this morning just how ridiculously overpowered it was till I tried it in BlackOps 6 this morning, then went back and played MW3 core games again after to really understand. It's a fucking joke how much of it is built in.
Otherwise, aside from that gripe, I have really enjoyed it. The single player however, is utter trash.
Now BlackOps, it seems the opposite, The single player campaign so far is really really good, and I've enjoyed it. The multiplayer however, I just can't gel with. The map designs are....boring to me. They seem to funnel everyone to similar places and you always seem to get caught in 3 different cross fires without fail. The new movement system absolutely unquestionable, is built around a controller and I couldn't play MW3 with a controller, but I ended up actually relearning to use one this morning just because of my time with BlackOps and it became apparent how much this game is primarly based on controller, which is why I went back to MW3 with a controller having gotten used to it again to compare and noticed that playing Core games on a controller is like an aimbot for a mouse. It's ridiculous. Then there are the visuals, I feel like BO6 has less flinch in it and almost like it has a wider FOV by default as enemies seem somehow smaller or less easy to acquire in your vision somehow. There's just something.....off about it. Oh and the speed of it; jesus christ. MW3 never felt slow to me, but it did after BO6, BO6 feels like a cracked out ferret compared to MW3. Having some form of autism seems almost like a pre-requisite.
I dunno, I came away from my few hours this morning thinking i hadn't really enjoyed my time with BO6 multiplayer.

Better than last year which was probably the worst cod year ever especially campaign wise is nothing to brag aboutIm in exactly the same boat

- Have the install sizes improved in the game?
- Do I have to download everything before choosing what to pick?

100% agree. Had to dial up sensitivity to the max. I don't know what's going on here. Very strange.

Ok, today's big annoyance first: hated the game defaults to whatever Nvidia upscaler that isn't DLSS. Fixed that up, cranked everything to max, enjoying solid frame rates and great IQ. Weird fucking choice, couldn't understand why the looks like shit and ran like shit - then I realised I read it wrong.
Anyway, played the first two campaign missions and three multiplayer matches. Last campaign I played was MW2 remake and it was fine, but didn't grab me like MW1 remake did. This one is definitely more pulpy than those, but in a more entertaining way, so I'd say its off to a better start than MW2 at least. Hub changes up the pacing, but not sure if that'll play nicely across an entire game. Multiplayer feels pretty solid so far, but I'll need more hours to feel it all out. Loving the omni movement stuff, been laughing out loud at some of the hijinks I'm running into. People diving off shit, blasting away like its Max Payne. Kills the military soldier fantasy, sure, but that doesn't seem to be the goal of this year's COD. In terms of pure fun FPS multiplayer, most fun I've had in a long time, and keen to dive back in.
Overall, pretty solid. And having it on Game Pass makes it all the better.

It's good yeah, infinite warfare is still the best one for me and if you're more into the bombastic Michael bay blockbusters, the MWs are probably better too, this one has a lot of slower pace and sneaking around, and it also has a couple of missions some people might not like at all for spoiler reasons.

I am so bad at getting headshots this gold camo grind might do me in
Getting close to having the XM4 to 100 headshots and about half way on the first pistol

Played some campaign, some zombies, and some multiplayer. Really enjoying it. Honestly, I'm enjoying it more than the recent previous ones.

I think I have all modes installed--at least I can boot into each mode's pre-game lobby. But with the new COD hub setup who can be sure. Looking forward to checking it out after work today.
