After 2 levels in the campaign, the impression so far is underwhelming. Still the same quirks of every AAA shooter in the last years, specially in harder levels in which seems these games focus too much in making you so vulnerable, that you are playing the turtle game of hiding and shooting before dying after a few shots.
The worst is that makes all the traversal options pretty much moot in this context.
Dosn't help that the plot is laughable in the worst sense, I wonder if COD devs are so self aware of it that is on purpose at this point.
I think I'll start the MP soon.

Really? I've never really had great success with shotguns in COD, but as people had been praising the Haymaker in this I gave it a go and did rather well. Not as good as a pimped out Striker in MW3 that is probably the only other shotgun I can use without having a terrible game, but I've yet to pimp out the Haymaker.

Anyone down for some Domination on PS4? Feel free to add me so we can get some games going: Espanajefff
Are launchers not leveling up? I feel like this same problem happened in BO2. Been using it on every class but it's still level 1.

I must not be getting it.
I thought it was just a play on 'No Country for Old Men', but I don't see the Call of Duty connection there.

It is. Call of Duty has no content on last gen systems. No campaign or zombies, AFAIK
Cut campaign for 360 and PS3 versions. Still has zombies and multiplayer.

I caved in and purchased it after I said I wouldn't like I do every year. Downloading now...

PS3/X360 version not getting SP, thus the no "content for old gen".
Is quite clever actually.
I'll be down for later, add me: jorgejjvr

First year in a while I didn't instantly regret it and am really glad I actually bought it!
But it doesn't have 'No content', it has 'Cut content' or 'Less content'.
And 'No Country for Old Men' has no connection to Call of Duty. Compare that to Advance Warfare's OT title, 'House of CODs', and that's a play on 'House of Cards', which features Kevin Spacey, but also a play on how Kevin Spacey's character in that show would pronounce 'cards'.
I was sure I was missing a deeper meaning with this OT title. I guess not.
I'll be down to play later, I'll add you

You're under-thinking it.

I got paged last time so I'm asking again: is there a NeoGAF PS community for this? It would make partying up for competitive and zombies easier.

I liked the MP beta, had a lot of fun. I hope that lasts for a while so I can come back to this game in a few years time like I do with Treyarch's other CoD games, and I don't come to regret this one like I did with MW3, Ghosts, and AW.
Download is almost done so we'll see.
It is a one hit kill from full health to the SIDE and the BACK.
it is a two hit kill from full health to the FRONT
I'm playing the campaign on recruit and it's a good time. Started off on normal (whatever that's called) and was having the same problems, you just die too quickly to hitscan weapons, so you have to constantly pop in and out of cover. Popping in and out of cover is not how I want to play the game, I wanna go Rambo and have a good time. Recruit enables that play style and I STILL die a fair amount, so it's not too easy at all.
Why people subject themselves to playing hitscan shooters on higher difficulties I will never know. I ain't got time or desire to be repeating the same section 10 times before I move on.

Man, if you are in a campaign mission and the host disconnects, you lose all progress.
Yeah, I guess I'm just going to play solo through the campaign. That really sucks.

damn you'd hate to be me and my 0.17 KD. feels bad man.
So I go to play multiplayer for the first time, select Free For All and hope the spawns are an improvement from the previous games...
First spawn of the match and I start INSIDE an enemy like a goddamn fetus in fetu. During the match start countdown all I can see is my enemy's molars filling up my screen. We both spawned on the exact same spot.

Told my wife I had to pick up the game after work. She says she's out and will get it for me. Pre-ordered PS4 version, come home to find they gave her the XBone version. Should have just handled it myself. Fuck!

Just log back in the game, and now my campaign progress is reset. What?
The first mission is so dull to even attempt to do again so late. lol.

I keep customizing my "Custom 1" slot and every time I log back in, everything I did is gone and it's back to default.

Thank you sir! Now I'm Open and my party is joinable.
YW. I feel like this should be posted on top of every page.
I would have screamed "This one doesn't have enough P's" and thrown the case across the room.

Wanted to. It blows because I can't get back to the store tonight. Lesson learned.

Campaign impressions are disappointing considering the hype pre-release that it was going to be something special =/
That happened to me this morning. Turns out it's because I played offline last night, and then went online when I got on this morning. Apparently there's 2 separate campaign save states, one for online and one for offline.
Don't know if this is your issue or not though.
Same here.
I was forced to play the campaign offline yesterday as the servers were down. I go to continue today now that the servers are up and I have two options:
1. Start a new campaign from scratch, this time connected to the servers.
2. Select Start Local Game and continue my progress but forever have to play campaign offline, missing out on the online advantages whatever they are.
It's really weird how campaign when connected online and campaign when not online are two completely separate save files with nothing transferring from one to the other.

I'm with you, House of CoDs was clever, this isn't.
No TDM/Kill confirmed!!!???
