Thought i'd start a new thread on this, party because i'm surprised one doesn't already exist. Is there not much interest in the new CoD?

With regards to the Alpha, it's available to download now and is playable from 6pm today (Friday). It's a 27GB download on PS4 and handily enough, you apparently don't have to have pre-ordered the game to play it. I've got it downloading at the moment, but it's quite slow for some reason (not sure if it's demand or my internet) and i'm not sure i'll get a chance to play it this evening. From what i've seen to date it looks like a good game, with the new approach to kill/score streaks being one of the more novel things.

For my own part, i'm not sure i'll actually be getting the full game. I started getting RSI in my thumb from the PlayStation controller, which was odd as i wasn't using it much. Just a sign i'm getting old, but hopefully a couple of hours gaming over the weekend won't be too much of an issue. Until today I hadn't switched on the PS4 in months and will be getting a decent PC by the time the full game comes out. For the time being at least, my aim using keyboard and mouse is so awful compared to a controller i couldn't face the shame online.

Anyone else going to be trying the Alpha?
