Considering I'm a hardcore player, the game overall was very good. When the servers worked they were crisp. More boots on the ground, boosting is quieter, guns are much more accurate.

Negatives, the sniping is ridiculous. I got sniped more times in one weekend than I did all year on bo3. There was trick shooting and snipers jump shoting and boosting airborne hitting me with ease and shooting me from so far away I could never see them...major downfall of game to me...other nagative and I have very expensive headphones played no factor...footsteps all sounded the same, u you barely hear them and I got shot alot from an enemy right next to me...it was kinda bad....there is no awareness which I totally disagree with....

Other than that game was good....

IW beta was a shitfest. The game itself is going to be aweful.

At least the OP gave reasons for his opinion.

A youtube fella who's channel is based off COD shite all over the beta. I think someone on the board went to school with him in Mississippi, guys name is Driftor.

I might have watched this video. Then again, there's probably a lot of COD youtubers who are feeling the same way who put something out. Gave actual constructive reasons why he's disappointed in the game so far.




Yep. Driftor.

It's just a pack in for Cod4 so if it's passable then I might play a little.

It's crazy, and I'll admit when I'm wrong. Although I'm still a fan of that type of gameplay, they really went overboard with IW. Nappy made a perfect point on how they made the maps way too small for this type of game. People were everywhere, and with the garbage spawns, it was downright unplayable at times. And I'm probably getting too old for fast paced chaos.

Gun Game was fun in the beta, but that was about it.

this right here is one of the primary reasons for the mass exodus of the faction here on the GB to leave COD. We all enjoy objective play game types and working together to crush other teams.

with the small map designs and the spawn system. it's impossible to out scheme or control objectives. enemies constantly spawn behind you on objectives you just worked together to take. there's no benefit to playing as a team with all the hero capabilities and spawns. why should lil Billy get to shoot me in my arse with a 360 no-scope and have an opportunity to kill my teammates and cap a flag... when i just killed him 6 times in a row because he kept blindly running to the same spot on the map?

i've been saying it for the last few COD revisions. they've shifted this game away from tactics, shot accuracy, and map knowledge to be an easier game for newcomers of the series. they've lowered the overall skillset of the fanbase in the process. tactics, gun accuracy, and map knowledge don't matter when someone has hero capabilities, game changing killstreaks after 4 kills, and serviceable weapons from lvl 5 on.

I actually liked BLOPS III. I didn't like IW Beta. Like I said, I'll give the full game a try, but the Beta was bad for me.

I didn't like either of the three maps, hit detection was off, the gameplay was clunky, and the menus were cluttered.

IW beta was pretty shitty. Unplayable at times. Admittedly I sucked at BO3 at first until I figured it out. The game kinda slowed down for me eventually. Maybe this will happen with IW. There is way too much going on for my taste. I guess it would be fun for those who are super into it but it lacks the enjoyable simplicity of the older games. I am really hoping that alot of the old players from the board are gonna give the remaster a go. Would be a blast to play as a group again.

I wonder how fast they will make COD 4 remastered available as a stand alone game since this game sucks and I refuse to pay for it just to get COD4 back

Once they feel sales for IW have peaked, it will be released stand alone, I'm sure. Mo money.
