Swain, nice to see you again! I am definitely picking up BLOPS3, but unsure when yet (now or at the end of November). Stone( iw5000) is likely to pick it up as well, although he hasn't played much on XBL since August. Clan wise, We will see how things go after Friday's launch, especially once we have a better idea what social/clan features Treyarch is planning to support Cool, AW wasn't quite as fun without the old crew. Swain.... I have been on XB1 here and there, but the only game I have been playing the past few months (Aug, Sept, Oct) is "The Golf Club" game. It's a golf simulator. And surprisingly, (at least to me, as I only golf once a year for work)...very fun. Actually, a ton of fun. At least for me, coming off of the frustrations of Destiny, it was a perfect fit. I can't say enough about this game. It has some small quirks (wind), but for the most part, it's addicting and fun. And fun in all way that exposes all the flaws of games like Destiny and CoD. For example. One. Unlike Destiny and CoD....where you are at the mercy of developers, having to play what they give you. . . .This game is different. The developer makes and offers nothing in terms of maps (or i should say the golf courses) The community makes all the golf courses. The community makes and decides what is best. And there are thousands and thousands of courses. I prefer the real life recreations, so that's what I focus on. This game has THE best create/design feature I have ever seen in a game, allowing people to re-create real life courses to RIDICULOUS levels of detail. Nothing comes close. Entire courses re-created, to the level of detail of grass height. You can also go play just about every famous course in the world. Not enough time to get to all of them (again, thousands of courses) Note - The create a course feature, is now used by Pro course designers, endorsed by Greg Normam. It's that goodThe game is also anti-Destiny, in that there is NONE of the bullsh1t that goes on with loot odds, collecting shit, having to play x hours to get this and that, and having to play certain days. Nope. None. It's a sim. You start with one set of clubs, and you get no more. Ever. There is also no leveling bs, no skill trees, no XP, no super powers, no silly stuff, none of that crap. Nothing. At all. Your tool-set never gets added too. The only thing that "improves" over time is your actual skill and your understanding of courses (experience). THIS was like a breath of fresh air to me, after the AW and Destiny leveling/loot bs. The wonderful thing about the above, is it's just pure gaming. You play, you improve. You have the EXACT same tools as everyone else. And as you play, you really do start to get better, improve over time, and dial it in. My handicap has gone from a 18 to -8. What's also fun is every course made in the game universe, has a ranking/leaderboard, in which you can go after. Every course shows dozens of leaderboards, in terms of best score, best score handicap, drive average, etc... Tons of stats. Best part up there? You play and compete against other people, it's very competitive if you want that . . . but you don't have lag bvllshit to worry about when competing. What a breath of fresh air. No stress shit with that. You also don't have people screaming in mic's, cheating, hollering, quitting and everything else. Doing all the juvenile dumb stuff. It's a mature crowd. If that's not enough, you can also go enter into community run tournaments. I just played an Xbox One tourney, that had 1,600 people playing. Three courses, one shot, total score. I finished 52nd. A lot of fun. I could play when I want, pause and restart whenever needed. No scheduling BS. There's also seasons, tours, and tons of other stuff, which I haven't even got to yet. I don't like golf in real life. I play once a year for work, and that's it. But in terms of gaming right now . . .this game offers everything I like - competition, creating stuff, design, simplicity but lots of skill needed, stats, leaderboards, etc... BUT NONE of the bullsh1t that was annoying me with Destiny and AW. Go figure.

saw gameplay of it in a leaked aquarium video (go on reddit to download) and I'm not even lieing, it got 0 hitmarkers Centermass ADS shot hitmaker at barrel stuff range. Real cute Vahn. At least the Semi might be okay right guys? R-right? That must've been just a super unlucky roll

BUT NONE of the bullsh1t that was annoying me with Destiny and AW. Go figure. That's cool, I like golf in real life and the game and structure does sound like fun. I just love first person shooters when gaming. I agree with the randomness of AW and Destiny. The weapon variants probably weren't the best idea looking back on it. BO3 will hopefully level the playing field where skill is the most important thing.

I think it was a horrible idea. Whether certain guns gave a 5% advantage, or a 0.5% advantage . . . it's still an advantage given to someone. And at least for me, I can deal with that, knowing that if I play a certain amount of hours of gaming, i'll get the same guns. That's fair enough. But not knowing? Playing 24 hours, 48 hours, more...and never getting the same guns? I can't deal with that. It's bullshit. that's not fair gaming.
And the above is doubly hard to deal with, coming off a year of Destiny gaming. Which is in one my opinion, the biggest screw job in gaming history in regards to handing out guns. I put an ungodly amount of time into that game, and never got the best launcher in the game, the Gjhallorhorn. People will say, "no big deal, you could play without it', but that was bvllshit. Every time you raided, it because a game of haves an have-nots. Ghorn people go do these things, others stand aside somewhat (not all the time, but it happened) Kind of lame.
time to move on though. New games coming out. Hopefully not that style of play. I just got tired of that style. He who has no life, gets the best guns. I won't do that anymore. I'll quit video gaming before I allow myself to get sucked into that cycle again.

"semi-automatic shotgun. reliable 2 shot kill"
Let's hope that's true

ohhhhh ok. I got it. I was off by a day. Confusing the whole terminology thing, "Friday at midnight" I thought Friday evening, eastern time, was when I had to get ready

BLOPS3 has a loot system, no surprise here (just like microstransactions, these things are going "viral" on AAA games. Halo 5 have REQ, and not to mention that Destiny's main draw is loot based):

I just hope supply drops don't have guns with diff stats a la AW.
I never did get the Bulldoge FaceHammster which was the only semi-usable non-Sega-12 shotgun. Feels bradman.

I hope it stays that way! What do you mean by customized attachments? like a better red dot sight? That could be favorable. (although they are probably way worse than the standard dot)
