As far as I know, PS store is the only place to download games for the PS4.

Amazon have the disc copy of the game reasonably cheap, £39.

Bear in mind that if you buy it second hand, you'll need to buy a new an online pass.

bugger! yeah i saw that on amazon, but the xboxone version is only £26! If the ps3 one was that much i'd buy it, but cant justify £40 for 2 months until new cod comes out.

The wife also bought me ghosts second hand which is coming next week, am i going to have to buy a pass for this as well? i do have ghosts on ps3 with all map packs.

I see the lag hasn't improved in the last couple of weeks.

I picked up a used copy for £25 at CEX the other day. As long as they have enough copies to get a box in decent nick then pre-owned games are pretty decent value. Don't need any codes or anything I understand so that's a bonus too.

To be fair, Destiny still has horrendous connection issues two weeks in, so it seems like no-one can bring out a properly finished game. frown

The game has been out for a year and the Beta was out before that and they haven't fixed it yet. I'm not holding my breath for anything in this patch.

Don't be stupid, it's part n parcel surely. It is odd how the lag can change from one game to the next though. Although like you say, I do believe Julian has allot to answer for biglaugh
What have I done now?

I agree with CBull! Julian and pilchard both have strange internet connections that seem to add a one second delay onto mine when I play against them. Well that's what I'm sticking to anyway. lol it's not cos we are crap mate smile

Glad to hear it Sqeezy. As mentioned CEX are selling for £25, you should get it for £15-20 on Gumtree and Game are selling new for £35. The DLC is £40 but its quite rare we're OK n them maps so no need to worry about that.

I'm sure I seen the Ghosts Season Pass for a tenner somewhere. Maybe worth a scan on HDUK for that. HTH.

I play on xbox 360. That thread died a long time ago, but i found if I was in a party it would affect the lag.

And since when did lag start getting called 'netcode' That term does my fking box in

"Pistols and knives only" - why is this so hard to understand for people?

I don't think it was just the Battle Log. The PSN in general was very shoddy, to point where crashed BF because I was trying to load the friends list. STILL don't know how they've improved the network, it seems no different to how it performed 5 years ago.

Jesus, I suspect people just join a random server to play some TDM and don't expect any rules. Am I right in thinking it's only at the point where the splash screen pops up that you see the text Pistols & Knives Only? If so it's probably not that obvious if the loading screen is missed. That and some just don't give a toss.

How do we get the PH emblem?
