Phoenix911

New image that supposedly shows an XBox one display advertisement with a few new details...

Reddit user braderz_12 posted the attached screenshot which were supposedly on the CoD profiles login page before they were taken down. Appears to be the first screens of the game....can't see much, but it's something. I doub't we'll end up going back to dedicated servers unfortunately, but we'll have to see if going back to their roots is just at the superficial level of game era instead of overall gameplay.

After previous leaks of marketing material, Activision have officially unveiled Call of Duty: WWII. There will be a 'worldwide Reveal' live stream on April 26th to show off what they have planned. The game is rumored to launch on Nov 3rd. Personally, I'm glad they went back to WWII. There are so many modern shooters out there and all the great WWII FPSs are showing in age. Still great games, but I think with a graphics refresh, it can be even better. It will be interesting to see the various new WWII shooters compete against each other such as Battalion 1944 and now CoD:WWII. Obviously CoD has name recognition, but I think we'll see a great selection of games from this genre this year and probably next. Your thoughts?

For those that have been following the Battalion 1944 progress, they recently released the first game footage since the Kickstarter project was funded and I must say it looks promising. Below is the email they sent out with the link to the video.

I'm on every Fri/Sat night at least a few hours...only time I can with the time difference. Sent from my SM-G925T using Tapatalk

Well if you're too scared to show up, you can't expect to see me can you? Sent from my SM-G925T using Tapatalk

I'm seeing a lot of input from CoD4 players. For those that regularly play the CoD5 Nam server, those opinions are absolutely more valuable than someone who rarely plays in it. Someone who does not regularly play on the server should have ZERO input on what's featured and what is not. In my opinion, Martydom should be turned off. Yes it's a part of the game, yet so is bunny hopping. Why are we ok with removing bunny hopping but not martydom? Martydom takes zero skill, it's simply a perk that was added because Activision went to shit and away from core gameplay with added gimmicks. Why else would you have a feature that enables you to inactively drop a nade when you're already dead just to say 'F U, I'm taking you with me'? Cooking a nade and running into a crowd is just dumb and noone plays that way...at least not on the CoD5 server. If someone pulls a nade, is about to throw it and is killed, yes that would kill the person who killed them if they are close enough...but an auto nade drop is just dumb. I'm normally all about pure game play as developers made or modders made it, however Martydom is one of those perks that is just pointless.

Here's a photo from last weekend...

Great work Merlin! I'd like to propose a suggestion to remove Martydom from the options...lol

@@deerejon I haven't gotten any requests. You sure you sent it to thephoenix911? What's your name and I'll add you.

@@Stringer @@deerejon Like I said, message me in UPlay and I'll send you a key!

For those interested in playing The Crew, and weren't able to get it for free a while back from Ubisoft, I have 5 keys that I'm giving away. Looking to get some guys/gals together to play what is a fairly fun open world racing/GTA/Need For Speed type game. If you're interested in getting a key, add me on Uplay (ThePhoenix911) and shoot me a message and I'll send you the key. For those that already have the game, we should set a time to get some crews together! https://www.ubisoft.com/en-US/game/the-crew/

World of Warships have finally launched clans with the latest update. I have already created XI clan since I had some spare Dubloons laying around. For those of you that play WoW, feel free to search the name >XI< Xtreme Idiots and apply to the clan. I will approve them as quickly as possible and will transfer the Commandership/Deputy Commander to someone who plays daily as opposed to weekly (me). when they accept the invitations. See you guys in game! WoW Clan Patch Notes Below: Starting from Update 0.6.0, the Clans feature becomes accessible. The cost of creating a Clan is 2,500 Doubloons. Added the possibility to invite a player to join a Clan. It is available to Clan members with the following positions in a Clan: Commander, Deputy Commander, Recruiter. - The invitation to join a Clan will only be displayed to a player who is currently not a member of another Clan - The player can decline the invitation. After that, the invitation will be removed from the list of invitations - The player can accept the invitation. After that, the new Clan member will be redirected to the Clan profile - Invitations whose lifetime (3 days) has expired will not be displayed to the invitee but will be displayed (with the "Expired" status) to members of the inviting Clan - The sent invitation will be displayed in the "Invitations" tab and its status will change after the invitee accepts/declines it or it expires - For Clan members, a Clan tab will be displayed next to the "Profile" tab. This tab will be named after the Clan tag of the corresponding Clan - Every Clan member can see the profile of their Clan. The profile of any other Clan can be accessed after the corresponding Clan is found via the search feature. The following information about a Clan is displayed: Clan members - Average statistics for all Clan members (if only a single Clan member chose to hide their personal statistics, then it will not be included in the average Clan statistics; if there are several Clan members who chose to hide their personal statistics, then this data will be accounted for when calculating the average Clan statistics; if all Clan members chose to hide their personal statistics, then the statistics of this Clan will also be "hidden") - Personal statistics for every player who did not choose to hide them - Positions of Clan members: Commander (has full permissions); Deputy Commander (as above, but cannot disband the Clan and delegate the Deputy Commander authority); Recruiter (can invite players who are not members of other Clans to join the Clan); Line Officer (an ordinary Clan member - For now, the maximum number of players in a Clan is 30 - Player management includes: Delegating a position of authority to another player (if allowed by the permissions for the corresponding position); Delegating the Commander authority to another player (only Commanders can do this); Removing players from the Clan (if allowed by the permissions for the corresponding position) - When a player leaves the Clan: If this player is not a Commander, they will simply leave the Clan. If this player is a Commander, then they will delegate the Commander authority when leaving - The Clan chat is an automatically created chat channel where all Clan members are included. The Clan tag is displayed next to nicknames when in battle - Clan tags will be visible next to a nickname in the Port: in chats, in the invitation window to join a Division or a Team, as well as in the lists of Division-mates or Teammates - Added an option to create and modify the Clan's description - Added an option to select the Clan tag color - Added an option to change the Clan name and/or tag (cost: 2,500 Doubloons) - The following reservation rules are applied to the Clan names/Clan tags. The previous Clan name/tag is reserved for the Clan for a month after the date of its modification. During this time, it cannot be used by any other Clan. That is, if Clan "A" changed its Clan name/tag to "B", then the Clan name/tag "A" cannot be used by any other Clan. If this Clan changed its Clan name/tag to "C" later, then the Clan name/tag "B" becomes reserved, but the Clan name/tag "A" becomes vacant and can be used by another Clan

Only room for one Phoenix here... Welcome to the forums, see you in the servers!

So let me preface this with I've never played Skyrim but looks interesting and want to try it out. Looking at Steam, there seams to be the new Special Edition out with better graphics (and maybe more) but the classic supposedly has all the mods (whatever those mods may be). For someone new to the game, should I get the classic Skyrim, or should I get the new Special Edition?

Ruh oh! >_< Good job Penguin!

Been playing beta as well...feel free to add me on origin ThePhoenix911

Good work as always!

Congrats guys! Raise them to be the Xtreme Idiot we know they can be! lol

Thats not true...I've played both from Germany with 100+ ping, reaching over 200+ ping here in Korea and have had no issues shooting bunny hoppers. You just have to expect it and know where to aim (ie higher or further from the edge of the building). In the end, even if you dont have the top score, as long as you're having fun, that's all that matters.

If I wanted to play real war, I would have joined the Army, not the Air Force...lol. CoD is just a game and bunny hopping is a part of that. Just learn to aim higher (just not when I'm the one bunny hopping...in that case you can keep aiming low...lol)

Ich bin mir nicht sicher, aber ich glaub man bekommt auch punkte wenn man nur teilweise auftaut aber nicht komplett. Wenn man komplett macht bekommt man auch ein defrost, was sonnst nicht zaehllt wenn man nur teilweise macht. Bin mir nicht sicher, aber kann sein das es deswegen ein punkt unterschied gibt.

Well that's not entirely true.... Dambuster was formed by Deep Silver after Crytek UK had financial issues and sold the franchise to Deep Silver. All of the staff that worked on Homefront at Crytek UK were transferred to Dambuster. Prior to Homefront, Crytek UK worked on games such as Crysis 2/3 and Timesplitters. All the gameplay footage I've seen to date seems pretty good.

Here's me overlooking the Bridge of No Return a few weeks ago.
