How did Call of Duty get to this point?
(lemmy.world)
Since I'm a WoW addict, naturally I'm a Blizzard fan, of sorts. But my mind is blown every time I see anything from Call of Duty on the launcher. I've been really out of the loop, and recently saw this.... and I'm shocked. You have to BUY the game for "open beta access", like how does that make any sense? Also, the general look of the game and its marketing now looks like a $5 ripoff FPS game on Steam... What the heck happened?
Right now it's open to anyone who pre-ordered or anyone who has game pass. it's open to everyone for free next week. maybe they should have called it limited instead of open, but it isn't closed to anyone, anyone can get game pass and play the beta rn so it is technically an open beta.
and why are people playing CoD? because it's really solid gameplay that recieves weekly updates and events to always keep things fresh. the new movement system in this one is really a game changer and makes the game a lot of fun to play.
What's the new movement system in this one?
I believe they're referring to the slide and dive mechanics. AFAIK considering this is the first game I've played in awhile, you can now sprint, slide, and dive in any direction.
Think like strafe sprinting and diving around a corner as you turn your aim around behind you to shoot at someone you just dove passed.
Thank you, I wonder how smooth that is going to pay on a controller.
it works surprisingly great on a controller
