Played this for an hour or 2 earlier.
I quite like it. Core isn't as annoying as previous games as I'm not getting many insta-deaths.
The maps are good.
I like the specialist abilities. I've used the War Machine and Glitch and found them to be decent.

Spawns need sorting as I just seemed to be spawning in the same area; it's like there are only 2 spawn areas in the game.
After playing for about 20 mins I got "you've lost connection to the host" so it's not on dedicated servers. And who bloody rage quits a beta anyway?! Idiots.
Sixth Sense is a cheaty thing even though I'm using it. And once the full game is out, and assuming you can take a an item when prestiging, I'll be taking Ghost as the UAV spam is annoying.

As roddypoddy got given one you're next so trust incoming. I didn't mention it is for ps4 so if you're on XB1 let me know so I can pass it on to someone else.

Edit: You haven't set up your trust so can't email you the code.

Edit: BuffetSlayer I think Snips is an XB1 player so can't redeem the code.

I've enabled it now. I'm on ps4

If it's gone no worries...thank you for considering me :)

Quite enjoyed playing kill confirmed tonight, had some lo ping players which were a pain to deal with, but when we were all 4 bars green it was all right, need better reaction times to keep up with the hardcore players though.

Also feel having a large TV is a disadvantage as you can't take everything in.

Not sure what I make of the game right now. I've only played two games of TDM as it finally installed late last night. I do like that "special ability" or whatever it's called (Glitch), not tried the others out yet. Not all that fussed about boosting/jumping/wall running about, just not my kinda thing.

Have another blast tonight and will be able to hopefully give a better opinion of it.

Two things I like about this are the kill streaks and the engineer perk, which shows you where uavs are. I'm not keen on any of the maps. They all seem pretty poor and none of the weapons stand out.

I picked the Prophet specialist and I'm just rolling with a Kuda, upgraded with quick draw grip, front grip and reflex sight. I run with the bog standard rocket launcher for secondary, and the default perks you start out with. Got 1x semtex and 1x flashbang and some kind of shock rifle for a special (it's pretty pants to be honest). Not enabled glitch yet as I have read you only get so many unlock tokens, so I am saving them up :)

Seems to be pretty effective but I am going to try and add a silencer to my gun when I unlock the 4th attachment slot at level 19 (I think I can add a 4th attachment then?).

Not too sure about the unlocking system either. You kind of have to unlcok things twice...... For example the perk greed only available at level such and such but then you have to 'purchase' it with an upgrade token :(

Tried the Man-o-War last night, but meh. Very low fire rate. It is powerful but just not quick enough to draw and shoot, which when I am playing in US lobbies just does not cut it as I am already on the back foot because of ping.

I also think the maps so far are a bit meh. They remind me of AW a lot and the majority of times I die it is because I am being shot from behind or the sides and I simply can't cover all the angles without backing into a campy spot and sitting there all map, which isn't really what CoD is about (not for me anyway). Coupled with lag and a fairly low TTK, it has been frustrating to say the least.

I am hoping to get onto some European lobbies tonight though to see how it feels on better ping.

I can't remember the map names but of the three maps I like two of them. I don't like the with the waterfall as that does feel like AW maps as I am getting shot from all over. The other two still have a few places where it is difficult to cover but mostly feel like traditional lane maps. Running and gunning is what CoD should be IMO and on the 2 maps it seems possible.
