I'm surprised no one made a thread about the game yet (yes, yes, I did search the forum )
So here it is
Now the first trailer was the worst thing ever(sorry if you were involved in the making of... it, but be honest with yourself )
so I'm just going to show you the multiplayer trailer
https://youtu.be/irIkbTen53kNow, bullshit "Battlefield 1 killed cod!!!!111" or "cod is dead!111" hyperbole aside,
I don't think the outrage is completely unjustified, while I'm certain a very large amount of people who were/are dislike bombing the trailer weren't even part of the Call of duty fanbase...
There's a legitimate flaw in the idea of putting Call of duty in the future
Now don't get me wrong, I love the future cods but really, all of the outraged could have easily been circumvented by just not calling the future games, call of duty, call it space wars : Black ops/Advanced Warfare or something
Seriously, they're different enough to warrant a new franchise.
Infinity Ward/Treyarch/Sledgehammer, I think are just trying to make Call of duty different, but the thing is, COD fans don't want COD to be different, the gaming community wants cod to be different.

Anyways, the multiplayer at COD XP was really fun. While it would have been cool to see a bit more deviation from Black Ops 3, all of the gameplay elements feel super solid. The weapon and sound design is great as well.

Yeah I agree,
weapon designs are great, character designs are uninspired but it's call of duty
you come to expect uninspired designs in this series.
Black ops 2 had 9, almost double. Advanced warfare and B03 had 7, being the lowest in the series. 5 is just extremely little.
Really not happy with this current trend, BF4 to BF1 also easily scrapped half of their stuff, as someone who likes to experiment, this hurts my experience a lot.
Edit: Hey - sadly this all became true..

Really looking forward to it!

You did the impossible Devs at infinity ward,
Well done!
Oh and the space combat is extremely well executed. I expected purely on rails shooting but you can fly freely and the controls are super direct. Its very intense and Id have to say much more exciting than any freelancer or star citizen dogfight Ive played. They have a very cool lock-on mechanic and generally its pretty novel, sad that COD of all games brings new things to space dogfighting. (Hello Star Citizen)
The multiplayer is a hit and miss, its good but not amazing. A bunch of the maps do not work well, others with more space do, and at those the game plays well. But generally the game is too fast paced for my liking, and then there is the soft P2W aspect with crates and a severe lack of weapons akin to BF1 which I find a very bad and disappointing trend, heavily limiting longevity and replay value.
Zombies on the other hand seems to be filled to the brim with features and cool things, very nice.
