ITS FINALLY LAUNCHING 😭🔥🔥

[@eightpower45991]

I am just going to tell the devs thank you for all the hard work and I can not wait to play more, see all the cosmetics and much more that wasn't shown or spoiled. Plus the Adventure along the way and all the new that will get added throughout the years to come.

[@CasualFPS434]

When will it launch

[@AzulzWRLD]

Ngl but I’m siding with not really caring 😮‍💨

[@jaxn4755]

I saw a headline saying this, closed the article, came straight to KZbin because at this point, you DESERVE to break this news

[@grimz5333]

Dude all i have to say is after watching you for years now and hearing the intro music, just pure nostalgia. Keep it up brotha.

Facts that intro triggers nistolgia for me from the time when MW2 was announced going in to the MW2 Beta

your intro is iconic at this point, that beat is one of a kind 🔥

YAY. Thanks for the update. Super excited as long as the hit reg is fixed by launch

Can’t wait for this now. Also don’t understand the notion you either have to be in cods camp or Xd’s camp just play what you want and don’t hate on the other. Guarantee you’ll be happier for it.

[@ThyDill_B_Dun]

People who play cod hate on cod… ima play both and still sh*t on cod cuz it’s dookie. Just got some friends that like to play it unfortunately.

[@realpatty]

There shouldn't even be camps we need more games in the genre to promote competition and hold the large games that have a monopoly rn *cough cod fortnite* accountable and to a higher standard than the lazy game development everyone seems to have gotten used too

[@BasilNadeem]

was waiting for your reaction. really looking forward to XDefiant

[@TheScepticalThinker]

The last test was my 1st experience with the game. It was terrible. The server, the hit register where you die getting shot at around the corner from across the map, the movement, the vaulting. TTK for me took ages while I died after 1 shot. I want this game to be a good contender for cod but if they release it on the 21st, and it is not good, it will kill itself. And all the issues I described were factual so ubisheeps don't need to come at me with "skill issues"

[@realpatty]

Are ubisheep real I feel like the general consensus is that company is super mid

[@kelscochise4478]

It's finally launching and am glad but what the server issues and matchmaking, because it's really hard finding or searching for matches in Africa especially Ghana. This happened in most of the test sessions

[@realpatty]

There likely weren't global servers for the tests. most companies test servers operate this way as it saves on a ton of server costs when they're just looking for bugs before they release a patch (or in this case a full game). I would expect this problem to be resolved when they deploy the servers for the full release.

[@guerrillagames7279]

It's not ready

[@dereksmith3164]

Would love them to do a mode without abilities... getting constantly pushed by 2+ guys with 3 million health each isn't fun

[@bjornwallden6795]

great news. i hope they reconsider a ps4 release later

[@julio1148]

I wouldn't expect the condition of the game to be much different to the most recent test though, just being realistic

[@Rheper.]

Seriously doubt they would wait all this time bc of servers then just release it with the servers being bad wouldn’t make any sense

Think no search n destroy mode at launch is a blunder. It's the one thing that keeps almost my entire friend group coming back to cod.

[@FangZ_07]

Ya I’d say my top 3 needed modes are like you said search n destroy then a regular team death match as well as just a free for all my top 3 wanted modes would be search n destroy gun game and a form of infected I remember ghosts had a good infected mode and gun game we need more party modes like that the ones that you hope on a few matches of when your chilling with friends messing around

[@Soar_Lean]

Already been leaked they have the mode coming 6 weeks in on season 1 launch and will be called bomb. Which I’m fine with gives them 6 weeks to fix all last min issues and bugs

Hey Espresso, do you think that the camo mastery grind is going to be more fun or more boring than COD’s since their is no challenges and just a level up system? Side note, love the content and keep up the great work!

[@simplexjacked2395]

Search and Destroy mode!

Ill play it, but really ill just be biding my time until they drop search and destroy.

[@weirdeurasianboy8091]

4:47 I have a great idea. Console only crossplay 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@FangZ_07]

No one wants that think about it stuff like that just causes another split in the player base you would have your players with crossplay off your full crossplay lobbies then people with that console only crossplay on it’s just a stupid way to separate your players specially sense there’s the option for input based matchmaking which adds another split to lobbies where some people don’t care and play with both and others only play with controller or only mouse and keyboard players all that is a lot of ways your limiting what lobbies a person can be in so well it would help with cheating on the console side of things it wouldn’t really be fix for everyone just the console players and even then that only stops it for so long until they find ways to get the cheats on a console then you just have a useless split in the player base and still a bunch of cheats that haven’t been dealt with I hope this was a good enough explanation of why that’s not a great solution and they should just focus on ways of either stopping the cheats themselves from working with the game or just improving there anti cheat so that cheaters are removed as fast as possible

[@Soar_Lean]

U can change it and only play with consoles only and crossplay for them involves PC. I did it in the test

[@realpatty]

I think there's an option for that

[@PuranSingh-pb9sg]

Yo bro I think the gameplay in the background does not match the sound, it's a bit forward in the middle section

[@eColiEspresso]

Totally possible and I may have missed, sorry about that if so. NVIDIA ShadowPlay's instant replay recording function messes up from time to time. Thanks for the heads up!

I want the game to work with cross play off so I can only play with Xbox series x players they'd be most certainly less cheaters then but a lot of games ship with stupid cross play and they're loaded with cheaters bullying console players

[@Mc_Nic]

Grow up man! You sound like you’re ashamed of playing on console. I’m a PC player but trust me, we don’t bully console players because we’re better than them. It’s called trolling. And at least 40% of pc players play with an Xbox or PlayStation controller connected cause they’re too afraid to make the big switch to keyboard. IMO that’s a huge mistake cause you’ll get a lot better
