    I'd say xbox and ps4 yeah okay, pc is so much more accurate they'll be upending the console players!
    Screw PC keyboard and mouse that would be like cheating.. I am a bit disappointed we didn't get much details about multiplayrer. They have a lot of Naughty Dog developers working on the campaign so that should make it great.

    I really hope you can turn off cross play. While I wouldn't mind it too much with the Xbone, I don't think it's fair on console players to be put against PC players with kb/m. I have yet to play a cross platform game, but that's my biggest worry. Hell, going against Xboners using the Elite controller will be tricky enough (until I get the PS version).

    Didn't give away much in that trailer though. Can't say it's exciting me more at this moment.

    Apparently the single player is extremely violent they reckon it will be banned in Germany NZ etc and possibly yet an adults only rating. Brand new engine they've been working on for 5 years. They want the various elements play as one game so you will level up and have weapon progression across Campaign Special Ops and MP. PlayStation still has 7 day exclusivity on content. We might still get MW2 single player campaign as a pre-order bonus. They are playing their cards close to their chest with the trailer but I'm still a 1000% more excited for this then I was for Black Ops4!

    I read that there will be no exclusivity, releasing everything at the same time across all platforms, and no mention of MW2 Remastered. The rumour mill is going to go into overdrive until IW release some facts.

    7 day exclusivity for PS4 it's on some of the YouTube official adverts.

    How will that work with the cross play? PS4 players can only play with PS4 players during that 7-day?

    The cross-play will not directly matchmake players from different consoles. You can party up with players from different consoles and join a lobby. It's the same system as Fortnite.

    From the Wiki page:
    Wiki wrote:
    'The game will feature tactical-based moral choices whereupon the player is evaluated and assigned a score at the end of each level; players will have to quickly ascertain whether NPCs are a threat or not, such as coming across a civilian who is believed to be going for a gun before grabbing her baby. This collateral damage score, referred to as a threat assessment, is based on how many civilians the player injures or kills and ranges from rank A to F – rewards are introduced to those who score higher.[5] Dialogue will differ depending on the choices the player makes in the game.[6]

    Tactical decisions involve using a sniper rifle in a large environment to approach objectives in a non-linear order, and shooting out lights in favor of using night-vision goggles during breaching and clearing.[5]

    Modern Warfare will be the first game in the series since 2013's Call of Duty: Ghosts not to feature a Zombies mode,[7] instead featuring the co-op Spec Ops mode present in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.[8] The Spec Ops mode shares its narrative with both the campaign and multiplayer.[9]'

    Sounds interesting, especially the part where you may accidentally kill a civilian believing them to be a threat, or not kill an actual threat. And delighted, if true, that Spec Ops is coming back. Screw Zombies!

    Not going to post the links, but serial leaker TheGamingRevolution (@TheGamingRevoYT), who has been on point in nearly all other CoD leaks (and his most recent post is a list of CoD things he leaked which were correct) has some interesting leaks out there. To name but a few, and i'm spoilering in case anyone doesn't want to know (no story leaks):
    * Single player, multiplayer, battle royale, co-op, spec ops
    * Spec ops will be like a BR game (parachute in,
    * Scrapyard will return in its original form, all other maps changed somewhat, including Shipment
    * All the remakes are intended for the BR mode
    * 20 maps and 50 weapons on launch, not including 'big' maps
    * "The crossbow is going to be a DLC weapon & Tessa Thompson will be added to the game after launch." (Valkyrie from Thor: Ragnarok)
    * Lots of weapon customisation
    * For quickscope, Marksman rifles are better than Sniper
    * Killstreaks, scorestreaks and specialist streaks
    * Gunsmith in game and edit attachments in game
    * Campaign sets up sequel(s) perfectly
    * Returning MW character throughout you won't recognise until the end
    * Nuke returns
    * Killing an armored minigun guy allows you to pick up and use the minigun until you drop it
    * No 'Hollywood' moments

    There's more in there, but he tweets more than an angsty teenager (in fairness, he looks like he could fit in that group).

    Multiplayer reveal today at 6pm GMT, including a reveal of the different versions and prices.

    Speaking of, they have announced the 'Dark Edition', which comes with an updated version of the Night Vision goggles from MW2. They look like Sam Fishers:

    MP Reveal Trailer:



    I only caught a small bit of the live reveal, but what I did get was 30-60 attachments per weapon, all unlocked just by using the weapons, weapons have perks, and as yer man said, 'Your weapon is your character in MP'. You can turn an AK-47 into an AK-74U by changing the barrel length and calibre, or turn it into an RPD by lengthening the barrell and increasing the calibre. Sounds good!

    Graphics look amazing, there was times I thought it was real. Every Call of duty has been disappointing since MW3 imo. This looks like it can make up for that.

    €230 with Gamestop. I'm tempted, still have the originals from MW2 still working with the original batteries! But that's a lot of money...

    I was onto gamestop about the dark edition and they told me it was only available for pre-order online and is sold out. Didnt think it would sell out that quick. I replied to them seeing if they expected to get more copies available between now and launch

    Makes my decision easier so! I'll get them second hand in a few years if I really want.

    Have you used the originals?

    I'd have to have a few uses for them myself to justify paying that. Fishing, dogging etc :D

    Yes, not for anything specific, but they do work. Black/white with no IR LED's on, less coverage, green/black with 6 IR LED's, can see further. Depth perception is gone though. Good craic! But, still just a gimmick. They're nothing special, but give you an idea of what actual ones would be like.
