If this becomes the new standard, we have a lot to look forward to in Star Wars.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this game from the moment it was released. Seeing the development team continue to build their vision and improve on the core gameplay makes me so happy. You can find all the information in the world about what Siege is, but knowing what it was makes me appreciate it so much more. If you aren’t willing to fork over $30, please give it a try during one of the frequent free weekends.

The community for this game is unlike any I have ever seen before. You will play game after game where teammates will not revive you (even when in there is no danger) just to take your loot. The core gameplay is fun, but there are no consequences for toxic behaviour. The Ranked system punishes players and squads for getting wiped early, even though all loot is randomized - you will often land in areas where your only source of damage is a Mozambique with only eight rounds. There is no reputation system, and ‘skill’ is mostly determined by how well your teammates do. This makes SBM useless. This game fails as a competitive game, aa well as a casual experience. I want to like it, but I cannot with all of these problems combined.

It feels like Infinity Ward was trying to go for a slow, methodical experience, similar to a game like Rainbow Six Siege. From what I’ve played so far in the beta, it feels like they fell short. - TTK is satisfying, but seems too twitchy - The M4 is the only competitive option - You often respawn right next to enemies - Most gadgets (i.e. Shield) are useless - Grenades thrown constantly (spam) - Lighting is too dark in some areas - Jumping around corners is a must But it isn’t all bad. - Guns feel AMAZING to use / fire - Modes are fun so far* - Sound effects are gritty *But are recycled apart from Gunfight I have always been hesitant to preorder games, and that is especially true with Modern Warfare 4: Confusing Title. Try waiting until the full game is out, so you know whether or not you’re just getting another Infinite Warfare or WW2. I really hope this game is a success, and not just financially.
