Against every fiber of my being I went ahead and pre-ordered CoD:AW yesterday.

I'm hoping it'll just be fun. I'm trying to forget it's part of a once storied franchise.

There's been such a complete dearth of games for the Xbox One I'm grabbing it just to have something to play until something better comes along. Or, maybe it'll surprise me and be good (but I'm not counting on it).

I only have two games for the XBO at the moment, FM5 and BF4, and I lost interest in FM5 after about 2 weeks. I play enough stuff on the PC to keep BF4 from getting too stale but I really need another game. I'm hoping Far Cry 4 might be worth getting next month. But even looking ahead, where the hell are all the damn games?!?!?!?

Anyway, I'm just curious, who else is picking this up?

Got it, been playing all AM... just what I thought it would be... Titanfall without the Titans, lol... typical CoD shooter but now with the jump packs, bunny hopping has a new meaning... I enjoy it for what it is, will play the SP once, MP when I feel like not thinking. wink

Well that sounds exactly what I thought it would be. I'll try it as soon as I get home later this afternoon.

I'll probably complete the SP before hopping online. I haven't played any CoD online since Black Ops one.

My expectations are low. Worst case scenario: i trade it in a couple of weeks for Far Cry 4.

But this year looks like a bad year for console games in general.

I use to play SP first but I've learned that you got to get into the MP while the cheats are few, and the maps are new... I now do the SP later in a month or so after MP starts sucking, or I start sucking... more. wink

When it's cheaper, I mean I'll buy it just for Kevin Spacey. Other than that there's Master Chief Collection and Dragon Age this month so I'll be busy for some time.

I tried playing CoD recently, got my butt cleaned out. Go to Titanfall and I'm usually on top! Maybe this will give me an advantage.

Won't be getting XBO till Christmas through.

I got it for XB1 but have yet to play it. Still settling in to the new place. Got it mainly for SP but may venture into MP if I get bored.

I've put about 7-8 hours into it total (sp and mp).

I'm bored as hell with it. If I don't play another minute of it that's fine with me.

99% chance i trade it in for Far Cry 4 on the 18th.
