Activision were prepping the big reveal for the 5th of May - earlier today we received the following teaser vid:



Along with a vid about PMCs:



But then stuff was leaked and now we have this as well:



We still don't know a heap yet, and may not until the fifth of May (when the reveal was originally planned), but apparently it's due out on the 14th of November (in the US).  Looks like an interesting angle on geopolitical stories, could be a good bit of fun .

In all honesty, I can't believe it's fucking May already.

I can't believe it's not Butter (we where all thinking it)

I can't believe I thought it was a Ghost Recon Game! (It was the Advanced Warfare bit that got me)

Also, nice to see you again Drags (I could be lying though)

Is it going to be CoD: AwwwwwYeah or Cod: AwwwwManNotThisShitAgain?

[bardygrub]

If all this advanced crap is going to be in mp... Then it will be the first cod in a long time that will not live my house!!

[ati]

looks like cod with titan wall climbing. .same old but probably end up getting it anyway just like Ghost haha

[Doomystic]

COD is and will always be just another COD, all the hype gets us saps to buy it, and after a couple of hours of little kids bitching, screaming and quick scoping it gets placed back in the case.

It's still a very good game - I think every year's a bit much, but in terms of production values and features it goes well.

[p1nkm15t]

EA should do 2143....

Sigh. I brought ghosts. That was a mistake. Played the single player, didn't think that was too bad. Then, the ending. ffs.
Had a go at multiplayer. It just felt wrong. CoD started going down hill at MW3 in my opinion.
I might have to have another go, just to see how bad it is.

I'm seriously having a hard time finding interesting games ATM. Been hunting some of the old stuff on steam instead.
I found Descent (1 & 2) the other day. All the Abe's Oddysee games are there too, although the controller setup for the original is a bit spazz.

Descent 1 and 2 are seriously some of the best games (gameplay wise) ever made in my book.  I've still got my PSOne disks (and a PS2 these days) to play them.  Am hoping they get PS1 backwards compatibility on PS4 so I won't need to drag the PS2 out to play it (or get it set up on PC, which for something that old is likely to be a bit of a drag).  There's not many remakes that I'd pre-order on the day they were announced, but Descent is one of them .

Sorry, I'm getting off topic .  That's enough of that.  Say what you will about the stagnation in CoD's MP, more Kevin Spacey in CoD has got to be a good thing .

but... but... Exo suit.

Anyone would think IGN was Activision's marketing team.

[p1nkm15t]

Cod is like pr0n. Nobody plays/watches it for the story. And like pr0n, it's usually the same set pieces in a different situation.
That said, it could explain why it's so popular with the 12 year olds!

In all seriousness, I really wish EA/Dice would do BF2143.
I did notice that BF4 has a version of Titan Mode in it, with their Naval Strike DLC. Carrier Strike or something. Not as epic as Titan mode. Get the flags, bust open the Carrier, blow up 2 objectives.

Pretty much everything in there has been done in other games. Looks like IGN is trying to help flagging sales.

• Hover BIkes (BF2142 Northern Strike add on)
  
• Invisibility (Killzone 2, probably something earlier than that as well)
  
• Wall climbing, leaping (sv_gravity )
  
• The Exo Suit (Smaller version of the Walkers from 2142)
  
• Spider Tank looks pretty cool though. (Ghost in the Shell; yes, there is a Video Game) I think it only had 6 legs though, so technically, not a spider.
  
• The IR Grenade (I think there's been quite a few games with this sort of mechanic, KZ3 and BF4 being the most recent examples, though technically not grenades, which I prefer)

I'm not so much berating this game for all the things that it's "Ripped off" (far from it; take it, use it, try and make it better), my gripe is more against IGN for hyping up gameplay elements that have been around for a while.
Does anyone actually take them seriously anymore?

[Aromaci]

It's just click bait.

That is why I only get evry second or third one.

Can we call it the Beetle tank?
