Will there be a MP demo, or some way to try the MP? I'm somewhat interested to get the game, but don't want to waste my money on **** like MW2.

Can't edit the post, but I've lost all the interest in the game after watching this team deathmatch montage: http://www.gametrailers.com/video/team-deathmatch-call-of/703936

It's exactly the same as MW2, only with different maps. Which I'm sure gonna be taken care of, when the first DLC going to be the map pack from the previous game (MW2).

I love how they introduce BOTS in MP Maps, solo or co-op and then Gun Game. Em HELLO COUNTER STRIKE?

Way to rip off another game/company and come out as "oh it was our idea". bull****. I love there explanation for Gun Game.

Kotaku had an article right away with modes and all that and im like really? Bots, Gun Game, come on, DO SOMETHING MORE CREATIVE.

Oh come on!

They add some fantastic features and you get your knickers in a twist because they aren't original?!?

"Haters gonna hate" I guess

What new features are they adding? Seems like this is just MW2 with a few new game modes. Game modes are features, guess you mean?

And lolwut, did I see that right in that multiplayer montage? Did they actually give that guy experience points for jumping over a ledge? Seriously? A "short cut"?? :rofl:

Next thing they'll be giving people experience for idling in game..why even have an experience system if you get xp for doing the most basic things. Seems stupid.

The problem is people thinking that unoriginal cookie-cutter games are okay... I'm sorry, but I'm sick of seeing the same thing over and over from the COD games, and it is the fact that people like you think it is okay and keep buying the **** that they shovel at us that keeps them making games like this.

I'll never buy another game that doesn't have linux dedicated server files out before the game itself is released!

Take AvP for example, I think we all got burnt on that one! We were promised that they would be out but it never happened!

Its one of the many challenges. CoD4 and MW2 (and WaW too? dont know, never played the MP part of it) had the same. There's also one for jumping from a high place to your death.

Its just a one time, easy, low XP deal, not the end of the world.

How is MW2 with a few new game modes? Incredible how you can reduce it to that...

You forget the fact that all the weapons are new, all the maps are new, the story and co-op mode are all new. And new features like Theatre/video-editor, bots, character & weapons customization and the new XP and credit system...

You act like I've just joined the Nazi party.

I enjoy it, that's why it's ok(Playing COD, not joining the Nazi party).

I'm not going to lie, some of those Free for All modes in the trailer look pretty cool. I'm still don't plan on buying this game (Halo Reach has nullified any temptation I had to get Black Ops), but Treyarch is doing a better job than I thought they would. Still, my biggest problem with World at War was the crappy selection of maps, and the verdict is certainly still out on that. All of the fancy game modes in the world won't matter if there isn't a single fun map to play them on. Hey, if the worst comes to pass, they could always sell some CoD4 maps as DLC, right?

Gungame = Sold.

I am now buying this. Also can we get this [Official]'d?

Not until this get's released. I love the system on NeoGAF where there is a new topic for new news, so it doesn't get lost in an official topic, and then when the game comes out a topic will be made and official.

I saw the trailers and I just saw MW2. The only thing that I liked is maybe the new game modes.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • iOS 27 & Apple Intelligence. Many iPhones become obsolete, right?

      By kiddingguy · Posted

      Have I understood it correctly that iOS 27 is an Apple Intelligence party only? Thus only for iPhone 15 Pro and higher, and especially even beter for last years iPhone? So basically all iPhone 14 and earlier become obsolete and cannot be used with Apple Intelligence and/or SirI AI?

    • macOS ‘Golden Gate' unveiled with standalone Siri app, performance improvements and more

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      macOS ‘Golden Gate' unveiled with standalone Siri app, performance improvements and more by Hamid Ganji After months of rumors about Apple’s latest software updates, the company unveiled macOS 27 at the 2026 Worldwide Developers Conference. macOS 27 isn’t a major departure from the previous version; instead, it focuses on refining the user experience and fixing some of the annoying bugs users have reported over the past year. The new macOS 27 is named Golden Gate. When it comes to the list of new features, you should not expect a long one, as Apple has followed the Snow Leopard playbook from 2009 with macOS 27. First, the Liquid Glass interface isn’t gone; it's been updated to improve readability. It gets a new slider in settings to adjust Liquid Glass, letting you go from ultra-clear to fully tinted with ease. App icons also get an additional layer of Liquid Glass to look sharper. Smoother system animations, faster content loading, and a similar corner radius for windows are other improvements for macOS 27. With iOS 27, Apple released a standalone Siri app for iPhone users, and the app is also coming to Macs with the latest update. The all-new Siri AI app features a chatbot-style interface and aims to compete with Google’s Gemini and OpenAI’s ChatGPT. It supports both text and voice prompts and provides users with access to previous conversations for reference. The Siri app can also perform a wide range of tasks, including on-device search, image generation, information summarization, and more. Users can also rely on Siri for personal context. Siri is integrated with various apps, allowing users to complete tasks with a single prompt. With the screen awareness capability, you can ask Siri about locations and images on your screen. Which devices won’t get macOS 27? If you’re still using an Intel-powered Mac, we have bad news for you. macOS 27 is only compatible with Apple Silicon chips and drops support for Intel-based Macs. Here’s a list of devices that won’t be compatible with macOS 27: Mac Pro (2019) 16-inch MacBook Pro (2019) 27-inch iMac (2020) 13-inch MacBook Pro (2020) When can you get macOS 27? Apple developers can now access the first beta of macOS 27. However, the first public beta is expected to be released sometime next month. Users will have to wait until this fall for the stable version of macOS 27.

      Who wants to pay higher prices for the same 6+ year hardware in a new shell? This is hardware where things change fast and improve continuously. They could update w/ quicker/more efficient compute, faster storage, new controllers with new features (not a shell/design update), which are all realistic possibilities. They've done mid-generation console updates, but all we've had for Series X/S are not just different configuration updates (storage / digital versions / console aesthetics). Instead they've prioritized acquisitions, increasing prices, and have lost quite bit of their fan base because of lack of vision.
    • LibreOffice developer takes a dig at Euro-Office in new open letter

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      LibreOffice developer takes a dig at Euro-Office in new open letter by Usama Jawad LibreOffice maintainer The Document Foundation (TDF) has often criticized Microsoft for popularizing the OOXML standard for documents instead of the truly open-source OpenDocument Format (ODF). It has also bashed the Redmond tech giant for putting its own commercial interests over everything else. Now, it has switched targets a bit to aim its sights at the Euro-Office suite launching tomorrow. For those unaware, Euro-Office is a direct fork of OnlyOffice. It is being marketed as an open-source "European sovereign alternative" to proprietary services like Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. It is being developed by a coalition of European companies including Nextcloud, IONOS, and Tuta. However, TDF has disagreed with this marketing classification in an open letter, saying that it is not the first open-source office suite being developed in Europe, as that honor belongs to OpenOffice.org, back in 2001. In a snide remark, it has emphasized that it feels "compelled" to clarify this because open-source initiatives should highlight transparency, not deception. It has stated that OpenOffice.org and LibreOffice are the only two "genuine" office suites with codebases in Europe, indicating that Euro-Office is a freeware clone of Microsoft Office that has rebranded itself to masquerade as a symbol of digital sovereignty. TDF has also remarked on the fact that those that are championing digital sovereignty now were very dismissive of LibreOffice and ODF a couple of decades ago: The LibreOffice has once again called out Microsoft for its "horrible" OOXML standard which locks in customers. Euro-Office also leverages this OOXML format, which effectively makes it an ally of Microsoft, according to LibreOffice. That said, it is unlikely if TDF's strong words will have any impact on the adoption or marketing of Euro-Office.
