I would like it if they had a new era. I’ve played 2 of these and the Zombie spin-off and I think a modern version would add a lot to the series.

Gamepass is the best thing about the Xbox. For the last few generations I have bought all of the consoles, but I may skip PS this time because I don’t feel like buying games individually or subscribing to a second service if they ever launch a competitor.

Performance mode with ray tracing is a game changer. Looks good but the frame rate is the real quality of life update.

@Martsmall thanks for clearing that up. I honestly don’t know if I can justify buying this again but I guess that depends on the price.

I am confused, do you have to pay to upgrade if you already own the xbox one version? If so that would be the third time buying a the same game (PS3 then Xbox one).

Bought the 1TB. Love it.

As long as they keep updating COD 2022 which is going to be modern warfare (my favorite of the COD installments) I’m cool.

@PartyMarty that is something I hadn’t considered. This allows Treyarch time to focus on Warzone.

@Rural-Bandit with 3 different studios working on those annual releases they actually have 3 years of development time to come up with new ideas. I would hope this extra time is used wisely by Treyarch.

@RevGaming Yeah, they have an existing agreement with Sony to release x amount more call of duty games. This would extend the length of time that would take.

My spidey-sense is tingling. I feel like this is some last minute cash-grab by Activision’s gross execs on their way out the door to extend the length of COD’s multi platform PlayStation deal.

I think Avengers hurt this. That game was poorly conceived and I think people looked this as an extension of Avengers.

The only game I have purchased since I subscribed to gamepass is call of duty. This is excellent now that I don’t have to pay for that. Also, I think the time is right for guitar hero to come back, it’s been long enough for a new generation to discover the joy of little plastic guitars.

I also have not played the game until now. I am glad I waited, I am really enjoying it. I do agree with the RDR comparison though of hating the captive ride one the car moments.

I love it!!! Call of duty and Ark both have valentines themes going right now.

I have to go back to Ark. That video does not look like what I remember, but then again I didn’t play the expansions. I have a series x so hopefully it runs well. Also, infernax looks awesome.

I love it. Mass effect and hitman alone are worth the price of admission. Not to mention access to all of the 1st party MS games. Gamepass is the reason I probably won’t get a PlayStation this gen, I don’t have enough time to play everything I have access to on Xbox, much less a second system.

I’ve really enjoyed Generation Zero, I never would have tried it if not for Gamepass.

Day 1 for sure! My daughter is a huge HP fan, we have been looking forward to this one since it was announced.

I love racing games but I always found gran Turismo and the regular forza kind of boring. I remember the first Grid being a lot of fun with the cars degrading as you crashed. I look forward to checking this out.

I chose Pittsburgh from the “other” option. It’s where I’m from, it would be interesting. I doubt they would place it here, but anywhere new would be great.

This is the kind of case that guy who snowboarded with the Xbox and played in projected on a mountain would have used….. https://www.upi.com/amp/Odd_News/2020/12/16/Xbox-game-projected-on-side-of-mountain-breaks-Guinness-record/3471608154784/

Supposedly this year’s COD is coming early, then 1 more plus an update to war zone (which historically speaking happens every year). Could be a year and a half until exclusivity.

He said specifically that Dice wouldn’t make it…. Is it possible Respawn could be working on a new Battlefront as one of their 3 Star Wars titles? Respawn was after all founded by the creators of call of duty and titanfall. They know a thing or two about first person shooters.

Great series! I’ve lost quite a few hours playing previous installments. Like others in this thread I agree it would be nice to move on from WWII though. We still have snipers today

I picked up one of the tb expansions for my series x so I went nuts on gamepass and downloaded a bunch of random things to try. Hitman, Conan exiles, mortal shell, dragon age inquisition and control. Also my nieces and nephews came to stay the weekend and brought an oculus 2 so we were playing beat Sabre.

I don’t see why they wouldn’t continue annual releases unless they take sledgehammer out of the rotation. Unless they made COD multiplayer free to play and separated it from the main game.

I am beyond excited here. My favorite franchise (call of duty) under the stewardship of a morally responsible company is music to my ears.

No surprise. He will leave Activision with a multi million dollar severance and likely end up at the helm of some other terrible company making even more $$ than before. It would be nice to watch him in a bad spot but these guys almost always land on their feet.

This is excellent news. I am a huge COD fan, but despise Kotick. Also, PlayStation has been paying for COD timed exclusivity for the past few years which is annoying, I am sure there will be no more of that. I doubt they will make Diablo or COD an Xbox exclusive but who knows.

I am an avid COD player and the majority of players I know consider the most recent Modern Warfare as the best game in the series (before it’s launch I considered the original MW the best).

@ParsnipHero great, thanks!

I’m confused- is this just through the 360 or does this include the Master Chief collection versions of those games too?

@Dusk_Actual boot up any older call of duty and you will encounter them immediately. The neighbor kid was playing black ops 2 on his ps3 and was getting pingponged around the map.

I have been waiting for vr since I played one of the first in Epcot Center when I was a kid. I almost bought a quest 2 a week ago, but didn’t because it won’t connect to my Xbox series x or any of my mac computers in a meaningful way. I have my fingers crossed MS is working on an Xbox set.

Outstanding!!!

Downloaded and played this yesterday. It is an excellent pallet cleanser between sessions of Call of Duty and Forza Horizon 5. I would have played longer but family came to visit.

This is why I love gamepass! You can try new things risk free and I definitely enjoy when someone makes a game this unique. I’ve spent decades killing things in games, I like to take some time now and then to deliver the mail .

Forza 5 is the easy answer, but I have also been really enjoying Generation Zero. I love Gamepass, I’ve found a lot of great games I would never have tried if I had to pay for them individually.

If it’s a 50 Gb file should take about 15/20 minutes to download as long as their server isn’t getting bombarded (which it will be). Thankfully there is a plethora of other amazing games to play while I wait (I am immersed in Generation Zero right now).

As the title suggests- we’ve been spoiled. This has been an amazing year for Microsoft games and even more amazing for GamePass members. The only downside is knowing how many years of effort it took to produce all these games also means we will probably not see another cornucopia of awesomeness like this for a while.

I started Generation Zero on the Series X yesterday, seems like my cup o tea. Also, I have become invested in Clap Hanz Golf on my iPhone. Highly recommend it. If there is time I will get some Forza 5 and Halo MP in, maybe some Hell let Loose. I am taking my family to a Christmas parade and various Christmas activities so I don’t know how much free time I will have.

I get what they mean- since the races are set up to be equal regardless of what car you use it doesn’t really pay to have the most expensive tricked out car. However, I look at it as an opportunity to drive whatever I feel like instead of being shackled to whatever supercar is best.

@sjbsixpack I agree, it would be great if Nintendo and Sony adopted the gamepass model.

Gamepass is my favorite thing about Xbox right now. In the past I normally bought all 3 consoles, but for now I have more than enough to play between my Xbox and Switch.

@sjbsixpack that is exactly what it is. Apparently it was quite a hit so I will give it a go as well.

I have a series x from launch. I can see why the S is outselling it since the s is the only next gen console ever in stock. I wonder if that would be the case if the X had the same supply.

For once I have actually not played any of these.

I’ve had both and I definitely prefer the gamer score. It’s simple to look at and get a sense of achievement without digging through a menu.

I loved battlefront II but like the battlefield games made by Dice the load times were nearly unbearable.
