Erratic

I almost feel sorry for the people who have to make this shit. I don't know even know if it's possible to reboot these things successfully. I'd probably just burn down the sets and leak the scripts mid way through production or something. 

played 3 chapters game's fucking great, stop reading shitty reviews and play it.
 
while I'm at it driveclub is also great fuck everyone.

20 year old game about shooting demons with a shotgun that shouldn't even exist in that time period is still the smartest/best fps of all time.

Yeah really great stuff, watched them all yesterday. Some really cool insights into the development that I didn't know, could watch this shit all day long
 
Also made me wanna read Masters of Doom again.

i'm glad the q3a mapping competition introduced me to this forum - it seems like a great community. it's kind of intimidating to post stuff here, though, since you guys all make so much awesome stuff! here's my latest quake 3 project using sock's industrial texture pack.

I would say it's exactly the opposite. Sure if it's just a hobby for you fine. If it's your job or what you intend to be your job then you have to learn to stay productive even when you don't feel creative.
 
I usualy work on some technical stuff when i'm in that situation. Optimization, bug fixing, colissions etc. Or i look up some stuff that motivates me like other peoples work, cool art, architecture etc. Or i learn some stuff from tutorials.
Procrastination is the worst habbit for an artist or designer so try to fight that.

twin peaks, and I haven't even finished it yet.
 
That's not a unique list by any stretch except for maybe one

because it's about to overtake Alien as the most defiled sci-fi franchise in history.

RO2 trash? Playing it single player by the sounds? Banable offence.

So my thoughts after 8 hours of multiplayer @ level 36 are it's ok and it was worth the buy and I will continue to play it for sometime yet but it struggles to make this new movement mechanic work because the games fundamental design holds it back. Basically it's: lets give you all this movement never seen before in a CoD game while still keeping it a CoD game which results in a cluster of issues for me. Those being:
 
The maps are so cluttered that I am constantly getting stuck on things. An example being where I was trying to run away from someone shooting me, so I ran around a corner only to get stuck on a chair resulting in my peruser killing me. It was awful on the Killcam as you could just see me there glitched onto the chair running on thin air. If it wasn't for that I could of gotten away and maybe even killed my gotta get a kill gotta get a kill gotta get a kill peruser!
 
The other issue I have with the maps because of the clutter is that it becomes incredibly hard to spot enemies. Combine this with how incredibly quickly you die and you have a series frustration fit. The rule of thumb tends to be whoever sees who first always wins with some rare exceptions only being if the other player that sees you first somehow fails to kill you must have hands made of ham.
 
Again another issue with the maps I have is some really frustrating designs. There are some great maps and a few of my favourites being: Riot, Ascend, Biolab and Solar. But the two I really loathe are Detroit which is far too cluttered and the same goes for the jungle map which I forget the name of and another... which I forget the name of again which is in a Japanese style with a pink cherry tree. Someone thought it would be great to put a death pit in the middle that you have no idea about. Yeah good idea, I have fallen down there so many times it isn't funny anymore.
 
The lack of dedicated servers STILL is a really big issue if you're playing on PC (along with ping being in bars, what's that? Can we have numbers?). I doubt the delay is really noticeable on a console as everything is slower paced and more balanced around having a controller. Just the amount of times I have been shot around corners, insta melee killed from 5 screens away or witnessed in sheer disbelief as my bullets just sponged into my target with no describable effect while at the same time he blows my ass off quite happily. Speaking of having my ass blown off I seem to die 9 times out of 10 from someone shooting me in the back. People just appear behind you constantly and you have no chance.
 
That brings me onto another thing: the instant melee kill. This along with the one shot weapons in the game can go and stick their heads down a toilet. Has this always been a CoD thing? I really dislike it. You die fast enough already to regular weapons, why the need for other things that kill you in one go I don't know.
 
So for the movement it's ok. I put a lot of time into Titanfall and that is the closest game I can compare it to and to be blunt Titanfall does it better. CoD's isn't terrible by no means and I've had some good fun with it - but as I mentioned before; I just believe that the map design hinders CoD's new movement to a large degree. 
 
As for the good: the port in itself is well done for once and that makes me happy. Lots of advanced graphic settings and an FOV slider. Kevin Spacey. I'm really liking the campaign. Sometimes you just gotta switch off and just enjoy the big dumb fancy AAA being thrown at your face.
 
Press E to pay respects.

It's call of duty. Seeing the differences between games is like splitting hairs on a gnats balls
