from the title I was prepared to be mad about someone bitching about how it's just taking things from other games, like somehow that means it can't be good (Darksiders anyone?) but the argument was a lot more well thought out than it suggested. personally I don't think "too much customization" is a problem though, the more the better, imo

According to Condrey, Advanced Warfare will feature split-screen play, hardcore modes, and will include either either 10 or 15 Prestige levels — the design team is “still debating” between the two numbers.

Sledgehammer Games co-founder Michael Condrey recently dropped by the Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare sub-reddit to gather feedback on the game’s multiplayer reveal and answer a few questions from the community.

On no Dead Silence in Advanced Warfare:

“We’ve got a different, and we what this is better, solution for Dead Silence in the works. If we are wrong, we’ll bring it back. But I don’t think that is going to be the case.”

On more Scorestreaks at launch:

“Yes, more scorestreaks and scorestreak modules to come”

On why Scavenger does not replenish equipment:

“We’ve got a number of perk changes we’ve prototyped and considered. The key is balance, and ensuring none are OP relative to their peers in the group, or across other choices in Pick 13.”

On time-to-kill:

“We’re still balancing but we feel its closer to BO2 than Ghosts. That’s our target.”

On dynamic maps:

“thanks. Yes, some maps will have dynamic events that trigger at the same time every time – we believe that leads to better strategy around how to master the map. Others may have map based score streaks earned through care packages. Others may have both, or neither.”

On multi-team game modes in Advanced Warfare:

“Its not currently in plans for AW for Nov 4.”

On fall damage

“No, unless you boost out of bounds.”

“…we also understand that some players may want to go back to a more traditional style,” he said. “So, there’ll be a traditional playlist where you can play Team Deathmatch, Domination, Capture the Flag, and others without Boost Jump, without your Exo. So, you and your friends who want to play that way, we’ll have a playlist just for you.”

The real question, is do you really need a whole TB for the Xbone? I dunno; I may consider getting back into CoD if I can somehow manage to find a job between now and when it comes out.

[Qalbert]

if its your main console yeah absolutely, if it's a side one you're probably fine with stock. games ranging from 20-40gb add up fast

[Qalbert]

although external HDDs is another option too if you want to add space later

[Avarice]

I suppose; I haven't console gamed much lately, but I do forget we're quickly entering that era where more people (not all, but a quickly growing amount) probably buy games digitally versus physically.

[Avarice]

Also Qal, I miss shooting people with you. Maybe when I have money we can do that again.

phoenix and I have been wrecking shit in Ghosts lately (since nothing else to play yet)
new mode called reinforce which really clicks with me for some reason, and I hope they have it in AW eventually.
works like search and rescue, but instead of picking up tags to revive you cap points like in domination. they cap faster than in dom, but not so fast that you can't defend it. wipe out enemy team, control all three points, or control 2 points until countdown ends to win.
the psuedo-tactics of knowing when to try and get a kill vs when to rush a point to get your team revived, and which point to go to, adds a really fun element to it, imo.
any mode when I can have a game like this is great.

[Avarice]

Huh, interesting. Seems like rounds could go extremely fast for the unprepared (or the rushed) though.

[Qalbert]

yeah every now and then we coordinate just right and get a 30 second round

[Insanecyclone]

I pre-ordered the LE version on XB1 because I need more games and a reason to turn it on. Think I may take that monday off with the early release deal.

[Qalbert]

woo

[theshun]

Wolfenstein is 60 GB and D3 is 85+. Previous CoD Ghost was 45-54 (case says 54 but online says 45, even though it's the same fucking thing).

[Qalbert]

yeah there are definitely some really bloated ones. wolfenstein had dialogue in like 6 languages all totally uncompressed or some shit like that
