[HeisenbergFX4]

I will try it at least the beta

Really just wanted to reserve this spot for the incoming talk here

Decent reveal but now when is the MP reveal that the content creators got to play?

 

[adamsapple]

The Open Beta will be available to play on PlayStation 5 days earlier than any other platform.

5 days only ?

Meeting the absolute minimum marketing obligation, I see.

 

[kikkis]

So 80 bucks for crossgen version, shit.

 

[lem0n]

My dream is a COD as good as MW2019 but without it's awful SBMM mechanic

 

[Urban]

Crossgen?

 

[NickFire]

5 days only ?

Meeting the absolute minimum marketing obligation, I see.

Do they start tracking sales during the pre-order period? If they do, I bet COD dominates the sales charts for those 5 days.

 

[nominedomine]

Looking like CoD, I'll wait until it's on PS+.

 

[adamsapple]

I don't think pre orders are tracked like that, they'll just say something like "and this has been the most pre ordered CoD in history" or something.

 

[just_like_that]

such a bummer that its cross gen but the last modern warfare was pretty solid. i have hope infinity ward will deliver.

 

[chromhound]

cross gen wtf

 

[jaysius]

People still play COD after that last shitshow? Usually they just build on the bullshit of the last one, no matter what studio. The last one had the worst MTX I've seen. It was pretty hilarious seeing Snoop Dogg running around in WW2, and then all the dumb paid weapon abilities that actually threw the balance off.

5 days only ?

I thought it was saying "Play on Playstation 5, days earlier). Not 5 days earlier. Am I reading it wrong?

 

[adamsapple]

I thought it was saying "Play on Playstation 5, days earlier). Not 5 days earlier. Am I reading it wrong?

The early window applies to both PS4 and PS5, so it's "5 days earlier".

An appropriately placed comma would have done well there lol.

 

[MiguelItUp]

Looks very similar to what they did with MW2019. Here's to hoping this one is just as good as that one, or even more so.

 

[Draugoth]

No, open-beta only wil be available five days earlier on PlayStation.

Comma fuck up by my part

 

[Kagey K]

Hope so, 2019 was the last CoD I enjoyed.

Do tell, how have you come to the conclusion that this is the absolute bare minimum marketing obligation and not standard practice? You seem to be under the misconception that Microsoft can dictate contracts that have been signed prior to an acquisition which has not even gone through yet.

COD Black Ops PS4 early access was 2 days and open beta was 3 days = 5 days total
COD Vanguard PS4/5 Preorder early access was 3 days and open beta was 2 days = 5 days total

 

[Lucifers Beard]

Ahh still locking the current gen version behind a larger paywall. Fucking Activision. I'm hoping that being with Microsoft that will change future releases and they will be smart delivery only.

Regardless, I'll probably just grab the PC version. I'm not paying £70 for this.

MW 2019 beta was a week and change if I'm not mistaken. The trend has gotten lower over time, I see.

 

[SantaC]

Is the COD series still without dynamic destruction?

 

[kikkis]

Is the COD series still without dynamic destruction?

Its arcade shooter, not battlefield wanna be,

 

[SantaC]

Its arcade shooter, not battlefield wanna be,

People complained about COD not having destruction 10 years ago so i am surprised the series is still the same

 

[Wohc]

Wonder how much money such a deal costs. 5 days beta sounds pretty useless to me, but on the other hand the last beta i played was wow classic.

 

[jorgejjvr]

cross gen wtf

too much money left on the table otherwise

hoping for some MP at the 1 pm reveal

 

[Tripolygon]

MW 2019 beta was a week and change if I'm not mistaken. The trend has gotten lower over time, I see.

No, there were 2 "weekends" of beta

MW 2019 first weekend exclusive to PS4 was Sep 12 -16, second weekend open to all was Sep 19 - 23
COD Black Ops first weekend exclusive to PS4 Oct 8 - 12, second weekend open to all was Oct 15 - 19
COD Vanguard first weekend exclusive PS4/5 Sep 10 - 13, second weekend open to all was Sep 16 - 20

As you can clearly see, it is standard practice, not bare minimum and there is no trend to be gleaned from any of the dates.

 

[Represent.]

more fucking cross gen, yay.

 

[kyliethicc]

None of this is new info lol

 

[R6Rider]

Not interested unless they have PSVR2 support for the campaign.

 

[Ghost of Caelid]

Gamepass ?

 

[Bartski]

is this the same one that leaked last night?

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

200k waiting

 

[SpearHea.:D]

lets go

 

[Crew511A]

Well, that was definitely a COD trailer.

 

[Draugoth]

Steam confirmed

 

[Represent.]

why the FUCK do the graphics look significantly worse than COD 2019?????

I hate this damn generation

 

[jorgejjvr]

 

[manfestival]

Yeah I am hyped. That was what I wanted to see. Hopefully the game actually applies some of input(which wasn't too much) that the userbase was providing.

Also lol@jbalvin being used in this trailer.

 

[Kupfer]

Will buy it used for the campaign one or two years later. On a hungover sunday you can use mindless banging full of pathos quite well.

 

[chromhound]

look like a typical Call of Duty game

 

[H . R . 2]

the graphics were underwhelming, I knew they'd butcher the 2019 engine. Also what the hell did they do to my boy McTavish?

I'll reserve my final judgment until after the gameplay reveal tomorrow

 

[twilo99]

Looks very similar to what they did with MW2019. Here's to hoping this one is just as good as that one, or even more so.

its infinity ward.. it will be good

 

[Koenigssee]

GOTY baby lets go

 

[twilo99]

Gamepass ?

There was hope.. I really don't want to pay $70

 

[MiguelItUp]

its infinity ward.. it will be good

Hey man, can't blame me for being cautious! Haha, video games over the last few years have tarnished me.

Diving is back, swimming, and ledge hanging? I'm already more excited about that than I probably should be, lmao.

 

[Matt_Fox]

Price and the boys kicking ass!

This looks great, and the Mexico setting will bring something fresh, day one for me.

 

[3liteDragon]

I thought we knew this was gonna be cross-gen a while ago.

 

[tmlDan]

looks the same as the last MW, graphically poor again

 

[Spukc]

What about zombies?? Any info?

 

[jorgejjvr]

Driftor says 6v6 maps will be smaller and more compact, 3 lane classic maps

Happy to hear
