Played for an hour yesterday - Me and the Wife play a lot of COD Vanguard, we both commented the same.... it's different! The movement is heavy and the gun recoil trickier to manage compared to the last game.

I started to enjoy it when I got used to it. To me it was harder, so once I got over that fact, getting kills were quite satisfying.

Will I pre-order it? No.

Will I get it eventually? Probably.

Is it a game changer for the franchise? No.

Just my 2p :-)

It has grown on me over playing it over the weekend and I like the feel to it and back to basics and the PS5 graphics is good
I had already preordered it

I've been playing since COD3 so I'm a bit of a fanboy. I'll fully admit some were better than others biggrin I cant compare the performance as I've moved to a PS5 from a XB1X and the framerate is massively better, but the gameplay seems good. They were certainly fiddling over the weekend a lot with gamestyles dropping in and out on an hourly basis it seemed. I agree with it being less 'agile' to start with. Mantling up and hanging off ledges seems like a unnecessary addition but I can imagine that it could be a handy new mechanic, you just don't expect people to be hanging off stuff.

The new modular receiver seems good, which makes the M4 pretty much anything you could want. I also managed to work out the MP5 that you couls get with a bit of fiddling, that made quite a difference to movement speed.

I like the drill grenade - it's just a bit mild compared to the R6S version that Fuze had biggrin

I quite like the other game styles with the money and the hostage, but the thing with COD is that it's not a thinking man's FPS really, few people play S&D and these I can see going that way. I hate Team Deathmatch, it's such an annoying no skill game where people just spawn anywhere.

It's just a grown up version of it's MW predecessors and I'd agree it more evolution than revolution. I preordered it though (which strains against every fibre of my being - but it's not EA), where did you get your code from?

Beta was opened to all PS players on the 18th I believe. Pre-ordering got you early access to the Beta :-)

Will be having a crack at the Xbox beta over the coming days. Enjoyed MW before it became full of hackers etc. no interest in Warzone so hopefully this new game has some good maps for the old school game modes.

Downloading it now. I started on MW2 and haven't bought one since MW as Cold war and Vangaurd where tripe. Hopefully its decent, I love warzone in Vandansk when that went I went to Rebirth Island as the rest is crap.

Hopefully majority of hackers stay away for the start.

Last weekend was ps5 only, today (6pm uk time) is cross play for everyone else.

They've been doing a lot on anti cheat for Warzone so hopefully a non console experience should be less annoying than it once was.

Yeah, it went live at 6pm but I can’t have a play until about midnight tonight.

Just want to get a feel for it and see if it’s worth purchasing TBH. Won’t be putting lots of hours into a beta.

The quality of any modern game is be passing on pre-order.

I played the other night, and will be playing in a bit. I really enjoyed it. Found warzone totally stale over the last year, this has an element of fun to it

I didn’t take to modern warfare, I much preferred the feel of the older cods, to the point I enjoyed Cold War which was a worse game “apparently”

Given this is Modern warfare 2 I’m assuming it’s back to the modern warfare 2019 “feel”???

I absolutely loved the 2009 MW2 though, I’ve heard this 2022 MW2 will feature quite a few of the old maps which has my interest
