Sign guy here Yes if you shot the neon the whole glass unit would go out. If it was each letter being its own unit they would go out individually but most neon signs aren't like that so most of if not all the sign would go out. And the glass would shatter

[@gregoryzagorski8383]

This is accurate.

[@SergeiSugaroverdoseShuykov]

It's pretty much a dead science, since majority of neon signs for a while are actually LED COB strips, which has no gas and does not care whether sign letter got damaged until strip itself is not damaged

[@midshipmaniac8406]

​@@StrikeWarlock Yeah I remember reading about the time dilation mechanic back in a PlayStation 2 magazine and being super excited to play the game. Obviously I was extremely disappointed with what we got, but the game still holds up, and the story is actually somewhat decent. They should do a reboot or a sequel and actually implement the time dilation properly. Kinda like those few missions in Titanfall 2 but with the ability to direct the gauntlet at any object or enemy in the game. Not just a select few that are usually required to pass to the next area.

I really like the idea of exploring inner turmoil of characters in games but I'm so tired of these dream sequences where things just float aroound in magic space and you solve your mental problems by just killing some random dream enemies. It's like dreams or hallucinations are an just an excuse to make fantasy stuff in games where it doesn't fit. "Here are zombies for you to fight. Why? Because it's a game." "Here you have to collect 3 parts of a mirror. Why? Because it's a game." At least in games that want you to take the story seriously I want better things than you run around in a wierd space world and fight weird enemies for no reason and then the game claims this helped you see the truth or something. Max Payne did better and more believable dreams and that was ages ago.

[@Edmundo75]

I agree wholeheartedly. Such a disappointment. I wanted a war game not a war/zombie/sci-fi game. Max Payne’s dream sequences were far superior and really fit with the story. Emergence and separation anxiety were developer laziness.

[@brutaldynamics1909]

​@@Edmundo75I also wanted a war game from CoD. I know, I must be crazy, expecting war from a series that started with you being on the frontlines of WWII. However, for some reason, CoD devs insist on staying away from actual frontline combat in recent years.

[@JJJBunney001]

I mean that's all gaming right? You have to make logic concessions for smoother and more fun gameplay. Also the health mechanic was explained 20 years ago by the developers of cod 2 as essentially almost a luck mechanic. The red around the edges and recharging health is supposed to represent close misses, bullets and explosives whizzing by your head and the fatal damage being you lr luck running out which I think is kinda cool and a good representing of it in real life

[@KFXG]

This is far from just a CoD thing, and has existed before CoD ever existed. That's a general video game thing and has been for decades.

4:37 This is not Wordle. This is Bulls and Cows, which was made into a computer program called MOO on 1960s computers and into a board game called Mastermind in the 1970s. (Mastermind is the name I learned.) Because of its long history and relative ease of programming, it has been used in tons of video games as a minigame, lock, etc. Traditionally, the board game version used a series of colors, but you can use any sequence of things to play Mastermind, including numbers/digits and letters. Wordle is based on this game, but it added the twist of non-arbitrary letters, which helps narrow down the possible combinations because there would otherwise be 26 possible characters that can fit in each slot (rather than the usual 5-10). It also was notable for only letting you play once per day. There apparently may have been versions that used words before Wordle, too, but I've done enough research for one day and nobody will read this far.

Singularity was a bad way to Raven Software stop making games. It's just a generic half-life clone, 2 different mechanics doesn't make the game unique. you brainless consoomers need to stop buying useless remasters.

You're questioning a game of Black Ops saga, which has first game plotted in '68, but giving us futuristic armament (i.e. AK-74u)

[@CAL1MBO]

In the original Black Ops there are mostly prototype weapons as the artistic license. But everything else including the reflex sights are realistic.

It really goes to show the talent and care that goes into a big budget 5000-cubicle team effort like Cod of Doody 6 or 7 or whatever, when you can stand behind a moving minivan and get run over instead of just bumped out of the way like in all those lazy indie games that didn't have five thousand guys to check that the vehicles run you over properly if you wander in front of them at the hideout or whatever. Truly another of the games of all time.

For a game with 'next gen texture steaming' that forced the campaign to be online all the time, this game looks somehow worse than most other CoD games graphically. This franchise truly died like 10 iterations ago.

I kinda liked the 1 open world mission for the fact that the more areas you cleared. It gave you better stuff for the final assault and it didnt over stay its welcome. And the only story part i didnt really like was the dropping of case for jane at the end. You start putting everything together to reveal Cases back story and all of a sudden we spend a really long time getting Janes back story and setting her up to flip then the game ends mostly on a cliffhanger

[@srinivarma1320]

Yeah I kept waiting for a big character reveal that just never happened. I don't get why Case is a silent protagnist when the game is extremly linear outside the safe house, and he apparantly has his own backstory, unlike Bell in Cold War

Neon signs are indeed weak to gunshots. If the glass breaks, the neon gas leaks out and stops glowing. That said,. most "neon" lights these days are actually LED's. These are also susceptible to gunfire.

[@SoggyMicrowaveNugget]

Its funny that "Innovative" for a CoD campaign is just copying mechanics from OTHER abysmally tired AAA games. Guys we wanted to try something new and fresh! here's watered down Dialogue trees and lock picking mini-games also some Ubisoft open world for added freshness. Its just like Hollywood, Everything is a frikn reboot, deboot or sequel. creativity is dead in Capitalist corpo land if it ever DID exist.

[@astrodreamer946]

I wish the Rook base building was better. They could have given us weapon customization like BO2. The firing range should have been functional. I was really disappointed it wasn't. A setting to skip the minigames would have been appreciated, especially for a second playthrough, most SP games have such a setting. Really the whole campaign could have been executed better.
