Hardly any reviews yet on MC, but it's getting about an 80% score. Better than I thought it would get.
I'll try the game later tonight.
Are the MP visuals and sound effects better? They said a patch would fix these (fix bad lighting and enemy spotting + fix shitty sound effects).

thinks Halo Infinite is a new graphical benchmark
COD was winning game of the years than all of a sudden it fell off a cliff in some circles, every cod has different sub plots to them, I think everyone can agree they’re must-buy games.

If you are buying COD for only the campaign then it’s not worth it. Campaign, multiplayer, zombies is one of the most content packed games in existence, it’s even better now as you get all maps and zombie updates for free.
I was pretty down on the game after the Beta, but they have seriously turned the game around, it is very tight and plays like a totally different game from the Beta. I like the Cold War setting better but I suspect I will be spending the majority of my time on this now.

5 hour campaign for $70?
Not defending CoD, but this new BF is $70 without singleplayer?

Not into WWII but bought the game anyway because I play Warzone a lot and need this game to level up weapons, at the very least.
Played some campaign and was glad to see slide canceling was back to normal. Switched over to multiplayer and there's still the same delay that there was in the beta. Hope this doesn't carry over into Warzone, but I have a feeling it may.
The game looks good and runs well. Hopefully we see these optimizations in Warzone with the new map. AMD FidelityFX CAS works really well to sharpen the dull image Filmic T2x AA produces. Glad we're back on the MW engine, as I am definitely not a fan of Treyarch's.
Haven't played enough yet to post any impressions on gameplay, but I'm definitely going to put some more time in today. Juggling this, Forza Horizon 5 and some others.

I was asking myself the same. On PS5 here. I'm not seeing any differences. At all.Does anyone see a difference in these two captures - one with FidelityFX CAS OFF and then ON using Xbox Series X

ON:

In a certain sense, that's just inadvertent acknowledgement of you having standards and integrity, isn't it?

Wow that engine is amazing. I hope treyarch switches over so that all three cod devs are using the same engine.Here's some more comparisons of FidelityFX CAS ON (.80) vs OFF on Xbox Series X.

Also, side note the game is gorgeous and really enjoying the campaign and the WWII setting.

I’m finding the multiplayer to be absolutely fantastic this year. Honestly the best first impression I’ve had from a COD game in a long while. Really really fun, satisfying and great maps. Props to Sledgehammer on this… I wasn’t expecting it.

The game MP wise is worthy every red cent. Best WW2 MP shooter experience, and as someone who enjoyed cold War last year, this is leagues better.
Seriously don't sleep on this. Being able to filter to small tactical sizes for each game type allows you to not feel like a cluster fuck. Great perk balances, best gun customization options yet, and 20 maps where only 1 is a stinker IMO.
They nailed it. Runs like a dream in 2k 100 to 120 fps on a rtx 2080 max settings.

I've tried all the modes now and there's some good and some bad.
Zombies has previously been the mode I'd spend countless hours with along with a couple of mates, but after just one hour playing this I cant see myself coming back to it until they add a regular round based map. It's easy, open and directionless, and makes me miss the days of starting in a claustrophobic space armed only with a pistol.
Campaign, I've only played the first two levels. Both of which are set at night so those OLED owners are going to have to pull down the blackout blinds if they want to see anything other than themselves reflected in the screen! Seems fairly run-of-the-mill so far but hoping we'll get a standout level on par with All Ghillied Up or Safe House.
Multi-player. This is where I've spent most time and my positive impression of this has grown. Suffering the after action showcase was initially really irritating (especially early on when the majority of players look identical anyway), but I've set filters to only play Free-For-All and because that's not team based you don't have to watch these tedious clips or vote for who played best. You can also choose three different settings to alter the player cap, and again - switching to 'Blitz' which has the highest population per map ensures that the action is really frenetic and fun. Being able to shoot apart certain sections of wall and a slightly higher gore level from previous CODs help this feel visceral and the moment-to-moment gunplay remains best in class.
More than ever, COD is going to be a work in progress and will hopefully get better as more content is added throughout the year.

I've noticed that players are not voting for E/D or Multi kills or other "high quality" contributions, but Most Time Near Teammates, etc. as a way to revolt. Nothing worse than carrying a team for someone with Most Times Running By an Opponent to get the MVP. It's hilarious, though.

2k?
1080p or 2160p?
If you mean the latter just say UHD, 2K is only applicable on resolutions with ~2k horizontal pixels like 1080p.
