Yeah, isn't the engine for this game still the old Quake 3 engine with just about every thing bolted on to it? Shocking that they've not invested in a more modern engine. It definitely shows its age

COD is OpenGL?

Used to be. Not sure when they switched to d3d but it was a while ago now. Just goes to show how much messing they've done with it over the years.

LOL, well it is a cod game, be interesting to see how much vram the game sucks up given the low res textures.

2.5gb on lowest settings with 80% res scale @ 1080p

Went in to duos with my 10 year old son today and we managed 3 top 5s including 1 win.

The graphics are not great but we got past that and it was actually quite fun.
The last COD i played for multiplayer purposes was cod 2 lol i did get infinte warfare to try the zombies for a tenner.

£32 quid on one site seems a decent price.

wouldn't pay £5 for this crap, it will be a near dead game on pc after a week I reckon

I played quite a bit of this last night and for me its no PUBG, but I still found it pretty fun I would play it when I just want a more casual round of BR and i think it will suit some of my friends more who can't cope with pubg.

The perks though need some work, I think they should be limited to 2 and have dedicated slots so that you have choose what you take and proximity looting needs to be implemented, also sounds needs to be better as I find the direction poor at times.

I love it. Will be getting it. For 30quid can't go wrong really. This is what happens when a big studio does BR I guess.

Hard to pick out the AAA games from their releases: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_games_by_Epic_Games

Gears 8 years ago?

They've got money now though for sure thanks to Fortnite.

i like pubg but the desync and hit mechanics are unbelievable for a lot of people, its nice to actually shoot someone in this game and they die instead of them turning round and blasting you.

I agree on the desyncs (uninstalled pubg today after 1100 hours) but i found the TTK on blackout to be too high currently and hoping it gets tweaked. I put an entire clip into a guy from close range and he didn't go down lol.

Still, i will be moving on to blackout as it runs better and Desyncs in bg has been terrible. I still prefer bg weapons, loot and armour system though.
