I put 3 hours with 500 kills in today, so I have some early thoughts.
This game is much, much, much more fun already than Black Ops 2 ever was. It has the "IW swag" of insanely fast paced gameplay. Lets not forget that Sledgehammer made MW3 multiplayer, so IW's last game was MW2.
The guns are ALL overpowered, so it makes them not overpowered in a way. Honey Badger is just a blast to play with.
The maps are not as cluttered and are easy to move around. There hasn't been a map that I have hated from the get-go like I hated Drone in Black Ops 2.
Dedicated Servers make a HUGE positive different. And Mark Rubin wasn't lying when he said they decreased input latency from the controller-movement is the snappiest COD has ever felt.
The dog is much cooler than I thought, and it can do WORK.
Campaign is so typical over the top IW, it's a blast.
Graphics SUCK SO BAD. BUT, the framerate is butter. One of my only big complaints so far is the awful textures. Hopefully the 1080p PS4 magic will clean up the textures a bit.

If they aren't up yet, I can't wait till they are. IW must write better netcode than 3ARC

The lack of theater mode must make a huge difference.
Connections were the best since MW2
Some of the maps have too many rooms and windows, others are fun
Like this game way more than blops2, it's not even close

I totally agree. So far, my favorite since MW2 (probably because of the connections). Black Ops 2 was just a turd. It was hard to admit that, since Vahn promised so much and it had so much content, but that game was just awful. Slow and boring. Like a freaking Battlefield game but without the Battlefield goodies. This game seems already like it'll be my go-to PS4 shooter (I'm getting KZ, but honestly now I'm on the fence about BF4). Are you getting the PS4 upgrade Chisa? There should be a card in your box for it.

I know it's early, but this early I knew BO2 wasn't looking good.

I'll probably upgrade just to see if the graphics are any better, but I don't see myself choosing Ghosts over BF4 or Killzone on Ps4. I'll probably just play it on ps3 to hang with the group

It'll be nice to have both. If it's ever just me and you (and we want to play COD instead of KZ or BF4), we can boot up the PS4 copy.

I take back every good thing I said about this game. This is a travesty of unprecedented proportions.

I'm not going to get this game, nor have I played it.
But I've already seen that basically Honey Badger basically wrecks the existance of all other weapons with the exception of the MSBS (which is basically the CoD4 M16/MW2 FAMAS/MW3 Type95) as it's MW2's ACR and UMP put together.
No real reason to run Specialist as you die so incredibly fast regardless of perks. No reason to run Assault either as Support has the arguably better streak(s) with Oracle.
Making the anti-SATCOM/UAV perk cost 3 is pretty absurd since it's basically permanently up. The least they could have done it made it the 1 point cost Stealth perk.
Oh, it's also good to see they just slapped the Bouncing Betty and Claymore together into one even stronger lethal and nerfed the tactical nades.
Good job IW, good job.

Honey Badger is pretty dominant. But as players unlock new gear and weapons and perks, more guns will start to come out of the woodwork... so dont jump the gun on day 1 of THIS WEAPON IS AMAZEBALLS.
I ran support streaks 2 games and felt I was wasting my kills running it. I went from getting the stock SatComm, Riley guard dog, and Maniac Jugg... to the stock Satcomm, CP, and Oracle. Oracle is pretty sweet, but it takes a LOT of kills to get. I did more wrecking with the assault streaks than support ones.
The Satcomm counter perk should cost 3 slots worth. Unless you want to say it should be MORE. Satcomm is only permanently up AT THIS MOMENT because everyone is new and only has that streak unlocked. lol. Once more people progress you will see it less. Plus Satcomms in my opinion are worthless. Takes 2 of them to make a normal radar. They are easily destroyed. With only 1 out its barely noticeable on radar.
Havent run into too many lethal explosives. Im sure I will as time goes on.

Like I said, haven't and won't be playing it, so I'm just observing it on Twitch.
I think FFA would be loads different because of Wiretap, basically anyone gets a UAV/SATCOM, you get one too.

Everyone here that has a headset, unlock dead silence and amplify. Using those you can hear people's footsteps so clearly, it's a bit ridiculous. If anyone comes within about 50 feet of you, you know exactly where they are. It's easier to soundwhore than all other cods put together.
If they fix the spawns and get some 9v9 modes then I think the game will get a lot better. These maps are too big for 6v6 IMO.

I agree, 9v9 would be fantastic, and I have zero clue about the spawn system. Multiple times I'd spawn in the middle of a gun battle and just die, awesome. The maps have plenty of space, but go ahead and spawn me in the worst possible spot.

It sucks. The spawns don't seem to take into account that there are other players nearby. So people will just spawn behind you randomly, there's a really bad one where people spawn right behind you as you're capping A on stonehaven. You either spawn behind someone or miles away from the action,Chisa wrote:I agree, 9v9 would be fantastic, and I have zero clue about the spawn system.

it is very poorly optimized for PC. the mouse look is very jittery and though the framerate remains constant, the game constantly drops frames creating a very jittery and un-smooth gameplay.
