God I can't wait for this campaign. It seems Russia aren't a fan tho.
Seems like this is a Playstation decision and not a Russian government decision, especially since the Russian government has shown no resistance to the Xbox One and PC version. Odd move by PS.

Wouldn't surprise me that they did it to avoid any sort of backlash and damage to their brand tho. I'm sure PlayStation Russia are aware of the kinds of things that Infinity Ward have been keeping under wraps as far as the campaign is concerned, like the way Russian soldiers are portrayed as monsters (IW removed this but there's a part where a Russian soldier ponders handing over a captured young girl to his commanding officer implying rape/pedophillia).
That's just really a taste of things to come and I don't think PlayStation are looking to get yeeted out of the market any time soon lol.
Looking back at all the cod's released this gen, this is going to be the best one. I can feel it!
Definitely interested in this officer seasonal rank system and how it replaces prestige. I'm glad prestige is gone though. Was never a fan of resetting your unlocks.

MW NVIDIA Game-Ready Drivers are up
Today at 10:00 PDT so like in 2 hours
Can't wait for Thursday! I haven't been hyped for a Call of Duty for a few years, even though I've played them all. I took Friday off so i'm going to binge from Thursday night till the end of the weekend.
Starting off with multiplayer with a couple friends, but hopefully i'll get enough time alone to do the campaign this weekend.

The initial download is about 100 - 130 depending on what system you're on.
60 to 70 GB was just Part 1 of the pre-load.
Honestly, it seems like a situation where by PS blocking it, they put more light on a potential controversy.
I thought that the terrorist enemies come from fictionalized countries and the Russians would be partners. I'm confused. I guess I'll have to wait to play the campaign to find out more.

A good friend who I played MW2 with constantly is gifting me this game, so I'll be there day one at some point.

The terrorists (Al-Qatala) are from the country of Urzikstan which yeah is fictional, but the Russians aren't. They're under the command of one General Roman Barkov who's been described as a barbaric rogue general similar to Colonel Kurtz in Apocalypse Now and are in Urzikstan to get rid of Al-Qatala's presence.
Thing is they're using chemical weapons against the civilian population so it seems the game is dead set in portraying the atrocities from Barkov's forces.
RTX support for Campaign and 2v2 will be out at launch but no word on if it will be ever in the rest of the game.

RTX Support is at launch, day one. Campaign and Gunfight only.

Really curious to see how taxing the RTX features are on hardware. Hoping I can run everything natively at 1440p and 60fps while still using them on a 2070S, but I'm not too hopeful.
Yeah, seems way too much effort into silencing anybody who even dares asking where's the game to think it's not government related. Begs the question how and why Microsoft and Steam are publishing the game though.
OP
OP
Game isn't on Steam, it's on Battle.net (which coincidentally is owned by Activision-Blizzard).
Right, my bad. Still, it's available elsewhere so I wonder if it's related to those two being American companies as opposed to the Japanese Sony.
OP
OP
Yeah, I think it's that, but also I think PlayStation is way larger than Xbox in Russia so they kinda gotta look out for themselves more than Microsoft do. I think most Russian gamers are on PC anyways so it's nice you can still get it over there. Think the physical release for this game has been cancelled though which is crazy as it's the largest launch of the year.
It still makes more sense that it's more PS than it is the government. There has been zero government resistance to the Xbox One and PC version. From everything I've read, it honestly looks like PS Russia watched a Russian news piece on the game, got scared that it was going to get bigger (it didn't), and blocked it. And they made it a bigger story by blocking it than not dong anything at all. Streisand effect in full effect with this move. Xbox is going to make more money and the Russian government doesn't seem to give a shit about PS blocking it. This move was a lose-lose for PS Russia and just weird.
Does anyone have a breakdown of anything and everything BOT related? Which modes have it, which modes do not, ect.
No bots from what I know though if you play on Christmas Day, you'll get the bot experience.
I do believe there is offline against bots, as that's what all the leaked gameplay has been of (a combat training mode that you can play while the game installs)
Nope. I think if the entire datamined list was going to be in day 1 they would have been talking about it.
I'm expecting a pretty conservative pool with more frequent updates than in the past - if the datamined info is still accurate.
Pretty sure that is the full list. Most if not all Call Of Duty games have single player only achievements.
I cant imagine its gonna be as taxing as control or metro exodus , RTX wise . COD runs 60fps on consoles . I am sure people with high end specs will be able to play 4k 60fps at ultra or close to it
edit: here are the more informative spec requirements https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-2019-system-requirements/
I am so conflicted on whether to start the campaign or multiplayer first...I always play the cod campaigns (minus a few in the past years), and I am looking forward to this game's campaign. But, I need that sweet multiplayer!
I will probably load up a few matches of multiplayer, then start the campaign!

Worth noting that all your unlocks in the campaign transfer to all modes in the game, and vice versa. Your account has a singular experience bar that shared across all game modes. So say you went through the campaign first and finished it, by the time you went into multiplayer, you would have unlocked some gear there too.
Yeah, I'm having trouble finding any real details and it is a bit frustrating.
Pre-ordered after playing the Alpha, my first CoD. (Been a Battlefield player for a decade). The thirst for modern weapons and a somewhat more realist gun shooting model made me cave in.
Elite and PS4? Is there an adapter that insures 0 lag?

I hope they took the time to improve the netcode from the beta. It was fine for a work in progress build but far to spotty to ship the game with it.

Yeah I really like how progression is unified this time around.
Meh there's only three maps for the large scale mode, no destructibility and kill streaks going off every second. I'll still be playing both.
