Damn... THAT bad? Wow.

the beta anyways. I know you shouldn't judge a beta but it was BAD. at least the bad company beta was fun, i actually got addicted to the beta for a little while. This is one seemed like a washed up version of battlefield and call of duty combined.

I'm sure they'll have zombies, it was one of the best features of WaW. I dunno why but I'm having real trouble getting excited about this game. I took the day off to play MW2 when it came out, but this i'm just thinking "meh, i'll probably buy it i guess".

Well, that's good, since Activision isn't making this game.

Just like Activision didn't make MW2?

About the zombies.. I could have sworn the xbox 360 and ps3 collectors editions, or maybe pre orders were advertised as coming with the zombie maps. And that pc folks had to buy them as dlc or something along those lines.

It's a shame Gun Game is only available in wager matches, that's perhaps a bit too cut-throat for me - I'm such a poor loser, I'd be ragefacing constantly :laugh:

I have to admit, the game is looking more and more appealing for every bit of information they release. I thought at first, based on the Multiplayer reveal footage that it wasn't a full blown theatre mode because you had to place a camera (?) but apparently it is, with free camera controls, slowmotion and the whole nine yards! One of the only features I loved about Halo that I wanted to see in other games.

The player and weapon customization is awesome, the fact you can specifically buy weapons you want and start contracts instead of that massively tedious linear progression of unlocking and chasing challenges. Even all the weapons they put in look fantastic, the GALIL?! Such an awesome gun.

Now my only biggest worry is the random aspect from MW2 - I sincerely hope Treyarch put in some Hardcore barebone for every mode, then I'd be all over this puppy in a heartbeat. ( They are also the only ones to split up Hardcore and Softcore in WaW, unlike IW that just mash them together. )

As much as I want to, I simply can't hate a game that is getting so many "Most wanted" features :wub:

Thank god for that, imagine how much custom they'd have lost.. having to pay two seperate subscriptions to play one game, especially as the LIVE prices are going up aswell.

Yeah but they do have a Call of Duty MMO in the works, that is sure to have a monthly subscription.

    • Bluesky COO warns social media regulations could destroy competition from small startups

      By zikalify · Posted

      Bluesky COO warns social media regulations could destroy competition from small startups by Paul Hill Fears that increasing government control of social media risks regulatory capture by the biggest social media firms were raised again recently. Bluesky’s chief operating officer said in an interview that social media bans for children and tighter regulations for social media firms risk creating a world where there are only a few social media platforms run by companies with the deepest pockets. Regulations on social media firms have been very lax since they appeared for mainstream users in the 2000’s. This gave Meta, Snapchat, and Google time to build up their user bases and get entrenched, with Meta being the most successful. Now that Meta has succeeded, it has been attempting regulatory capture. By pushing for more regulations of social media, Meta hopes to make it more difficult for rivals to challenge it. For its part, it doesn’t need to worry about the cost of regulation because it has a lot of money to spend, whereas startups do not. Speaking to CNBC, Rose Wang, Bluesky’s chief operating officer, said: “I support the protection and the safety of youth, the question that we have then is at what cost, because essentially what I’m scared of is in the long term, we’re headed to a world where there’s about three to five platforms, and extreme heavy regulation of those platforms, and basically the whole compliance teams of these platforms are 10 times the size of our entire team. So, basically, we’re living in a world where it’s almost impossible for smaller entrants to come in and build healthier spaces. These platforms have led to a place where the bottom line is the thing that drives what they do... so I understand why governments have to step in and regulate, because the platforms have done nothing right.” She said that while she is not against regulation, there needs to be more channels between the small to mid-sized players and regulators to help protect them. She says that big tech players, on the other hand, “who we know are circumventing regulation,” need to be regulated. Essentially, the Bluesky position is one of nuance, rather than absolutes. While Bluesky’s proposal may preserve competition in the social media space, it still doesn’t address the massive privacy implications these age verification measures introduce, such as handing over sensitive identity documents to access age-gated content.
