I would like an immersion mode where the Germans are outnumbered 10:1 by the Red Army. Don't you mean the other way around?

www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/jun/28/call-of-duty-wwii-how-an-indie-classic-inspired-the-latest-game" HQ is, like the Tower in Destiny, a safe online social space, where players can congregate between play sessions to meet, communicate, show off achievements and take part in mini-games. There’s a 1 vs 1 area where you can challenge another player to impromptu combat in an enclosed gladitorial arena (which other players can gather around to spectate), and a competitive shooting range so several people can get together to take out static targets for points. "Headquarters is the biggest innovation in CoD this year and I think it transforms how we come together as a community,” says CondreyI wasn't sold on the above concept, until I got a chance to read the above, and found out the social space was 'safe'. Thank god. We could all use more safe places to escape too, when adulating in this cruel world. A safe place where I am free of real world bullies and online predators. Where I can socialize with other sensitive snowflake milleniels. Thank God Sledgehammer is using up their finite time and resources to implement the above like ideas that will provide me with countless minutes of interest and activity, and not spend their time on irrelevant things like actual multiplayer gameplay concepts. I feel much safer now. This also helped to, "Condrey is unrepentant about this. “The divisions represent you in the game, they’re your choices,” he says. “Whatever gender or nationality you feel represented by, it’s about you going in to war. In multiplayer, that may mean some of the character choices you make won’t be completely historically accurate, but we wanted you to feel represented. Half of all gamers are women, we’ve been open advocates of pushing for diversity of representation. You see it in Rousseau our French resistance leader and you’ll see it in multiplayer. We’re determined: if you feel represented by an ethic female character, then absolutely when you’re put on the Axis side, you will remain that character.”Of all the things Condry could be talking about in this new game, I am so glad he spent a third of the online article talking about gender and inclusiveness. These things are so very important to gaming. If I can't properly identify my character in a 1ST PERSON SHOOTER, then what is the point of even playing this game anymore? Yes, I do really think all this hatred towards jet packs, unfinished game sections (ie, leaderboards), micro$transactions, pay to win guns, poor game modes, ...all of these things were smokescreens. Inclusivity has been the problem the past few years. Yay to Micheal Condry. The above aside, it is interesting to note in the article how Condrey is finally noticing the adverse affects of the KD ration on CoD. It only took these dipsh1ts ten years to figure this out? That said, when I read quotes like this, " Maybe you’re not the best Domination player but it could be that you’re friendly, welcoming and helpful in HQ and you’re good on the firing range – I can commend you any time I see you, I’m up-voting you as a person. And the higher your social score, the more rewards you get. Hopefully those systems instil the right community behaviours.”...I just shake my head. Who would ever possibly think that people are going to waste time giving commendations of a firing line, put value over that, and suddenly not give a sh1t over the almighty KD ration once actual gameplay starts? I can see this now . . . "HEY EVERYONE, I DON'T CARE THAT I HAVE A 0.50 KD RATIO, EVERYONE LIKES ME IN THE SAFE PLACE FIRING RANGE. I AM WELL LIKED THERE AND HELP PEOPLE!!!!"

I'm glad you will have your safe place. Because when you go in game whole teams will have set up with bipod LMGs and bouncing bettys while spewing hatred and loud crap music. I can't wait!

I find the people most in need of safe spaces are those who call other people "snowflakes." Just an observation, and ymmv.

This is actually very exciting for me.

I feel like these guys have to say this stuff in 2017 as the public spokesperson of a major publicly traded company. It's just sort of the required PR line.
That said a gladiator ring does sound cool. I hope the player social rating thing doesn't punish downvoted players as I tend to get a lot of hate (from my play, not from saying anything, I don't use my mic) and am usually solo.

xbox 360 had a good solution to that when rating players you could report someone for "unskilled" and it did literally nothing I like how my reputation thing took a nosedive because I was using shotguns in MW3.

Public matches in BO3 and IW have always been 20 Hz from server-to-client; MWR is now 20 Hz but was at 10 Hz at launch. Client-to-server send rates are 50 Hz for BO3, 100 Hz for IW and 45 Hz for MWR (30 pre-patch.)

Just curious, the PS4 crew coming back with WW2? I don't think I'll buy it. I haven't played IW for a long time, so I can no longer aim with an analog stick.

I had the same problem and decided to buy a Xim. No more going back and forth between mouse and stick for me! Sadly they are sort of expensive.

But on PC I can't verbally abuse Dumien. I mean sure Siege is glorious at 165hz/1440p but I really think another 2 months of Siege tops, and he will be broken as a person beyond repair. What's frame rate and resolution next to that? XIM is the only answer here.

I don't think the mouse quite understands how demoralizing it is to be berated in real time for your failings while riding the Siege struggle-bus. But there is a good point in there. I can send abusive messages about how bad he was at Rocket League and what a sad sack he is for having actually quit the game when *not* playing Siege. Indeed he is the epitome of a filthy casual with little desire to actually succeed at anything after suffering even the slightest of setbacks. Frankly the closest thing to success he's probably ever had in a vaguely competitive setting is serving under IW5k in COD Clan Wars......................
This will lead to more well-rounded and efficient abuse.

I don't know, Xbox barely lets you talk to someone else on Xbox on an average day... But remember something is wrong with *your* network settings in that case. There are definitely no problem's on Microsoft's end. Xbox has no bugs.

The only time I hear people talking on Xbox is when they forget to disable Kinect game chat, and I get bombarded with their mom screaming at them from another room while they have a fan blowing into the Kinect microphone and a baby crying beside them.
