Hopefully its good I always find the modern warfare game to take themselves far too seriously!
Surely they should come up with an original new offshoot of the franchise?
I loved black ops 6 but think I'm probably done with this franchise again unfortunately it's just all gone a bit meh with call of duty for me.
Asha is a good skin she is at least bringing some positivity back to the brand! And shaking things up! Much better than the constant negativity from before!
@ILuvGames It would be nice but these billion dollar companies would lose to much money so no treats for us average Joe's! All we have is the home Xbox thing!
@AverageGamer I don't think having ea access on gamepass did much to be honest like I said the games on the service where always cheap and old enough by the time they where on the service. Also with hindsight we now know how bad those battlefield games performed if anything ea owed Microsoft for allowing ea access on there platform when nobody else would. The main point of gamepass was day one games not ea games. I understand what you are saying I just think you're giving ea to much credit what Xbox and gamepass was at that point ea never had Xbox over a barrel because they couldn't. Without Xbox ea access wouldn't of happened at that point and ea would never drop putting games on Xbox
Obviously great for those who are still playing this game on Xbox I couldn't imagine it's a huge amount of people but hey it's positive. Bethesda just irritate the life out of me wouldn't of an update like this hit a bit harder a couple years ago when the game was more popular?? It seems everything they do they do it at glacier speed! How long did it take obsidian to whack out new Vegas out very quickly wasn't it? They are wasting the franchises they own! Rant over apologies 😑
@AverageGamer Gamepass doesn't need ea access that much and there are rumors of customizable gamepass plans coming soon I get what you are saying but ea isn't that important to gamepass in reality and it's not like they are going to just stop making games on Xbox if they did take it off the plan. Xbox isn't in an amazing place but not as bad a place where they need ea to get gamepass subs I'd argue that's never been the case.
@FraserG It would be very interesting to know more about it like if Microsoft pay a studio it have games on gamepass and that's there deal concluded what difference would it make what Microsoft offered? I can only think some would get royalties depending on player count on gamepass and maybe the family plan sort of messed it up?? Very intriguing!
@themightyant There's literally nothing missed without it and if you do like any of the games that would be on there service they are normally really cheap by the time they come to it especially back then there wasn't much on ea access at all! I'm sure it was some legal bull from ea that put an end to it. Maybe the contract they had at the time with Microsoft made it impossible to offer gamepass without ea access??
Begs the question why they didn't just do the family plan without ea access or whatever it's called now. It's a bit rich ea having a problem with it especially around that time simply because they had barely anything on the service just the run of the mill fifa Madden probably need for speed??
Nothing but encouraging signs coming out of Xbox HQ since Sharma took over!
Start making the series s/x consoles look like the place to do your gaming they need to shift some consoles when GTA drops they can't just do nothing and let Sony scoop up the lot.
I'd bet on a decent price drop around the launch of GTA.
Microsoft need to start acting like the company with deeper pockets on this one get people in your ecosystem make the series s the cheapest way to play it by a big margin!
The series x should come cheaper than the base ps5 aswell around that time otherwise I don't see significant numbers.
It's really a big step up from the previous game so far. And it performs amazingly on series x Looking forward to playing more later on today. Maybe dip a toe into the multiplayer. Remember "If you aint first you're last" Shake and bake!
@GeeEssEff No not yet myself gonna wait till I get a car that clicks the A level Ferrari i loved in the older games isn't in this one so I'll try find a new one before going into the viper pit never really tried it before haha
@GeeEssEff Yeah they definitely do recently been finishing off the ones in horizon 2 and 5 before 6 dropped. Have you tried any of the online multiplayer racing yet??
@GeeEssEff Yeah that must of been it alright after I seen your post I taught that could be the case I didn't know weather or not if I got campaign points for doing those races. I hope the further you get in the game we get some series races I enjoy them more than just the single races. Happy racing my friend
It's all just white noise to me all this we never had single player Sony games on Xbox like uncharted or spiderman and probably apart from what's on steam we won't in the future. It is what it is Microsoft have a bunch of in house studios so if they go the exclusive route they will have loads if not what can anyone do?
A good list by our community but a couple are a bit unrealistic or probably like the physical games for next gen and do we really need a hdr dashboard? Must be the same people who care about ads personally I don't see why that should matter? People need to get off there dashboard and play some games!

I'll just wait on the normal release to be honest should be great fun when it drops. Definitely going to race a bit more online in this one see how I do.
I'll be on undisputed bought it during the week and I'm really enjoying it. It's a very different game from fight night a lot deeper and tactical so I'm enjoying learning the game and improving right now. I'm doing a career mode with Johnny nelson because the character creator is terrible haha! Happy weekend folks
@RBRTMNZ Seems very silly to me but people will moan about anything they can these days we have become a very fussy species.
We moan about anything we can then others moan about the people moaning haha 😂
The circle of moan if you will haha
@Llamageddon 100% you are right just considering it's dropping soon and it will be probably big news how many consoles it sells probably playstation that it was worth mentioning even with that caveat.
I need to pick this up to own despite its drawbacks it the first time playing this an amazing looking game for it's time!
Just a shame some games where hamstrung with how underpowered the base Xbox one was.
@FraserG no it's good for sure you are doing it next doubt.
Things like this I just don't like if something happened to my profile it would be like a death in the family at this point haha 😂
But seriously yes!🫂
@Llamageddon I think GTA will prove you a bit wrong there when it drops my friend but it's the biggest seller by a mile the older one now is still super popular so it's really the exception to the rule
It's the top tier car game around and this is the new release it's going to do amazingly well and it still has to go to playstation and will do great there aswell 😊
Both controllers look really good especially the cloud one very nice redesign!
I probably won't pick either up unless they are at a good price point also the bog standard controller works perfectly for me I've no need to upgrade if you will!
Sounds like it will be very good I look forward to it releasing! If they have that many older Japanese cars in it I hope the Toyota glanza is in it used to love the look of those! And a couple older models of the integra type r!
Nice very nice I'm liking this!
I have about 186,000 gamerscore now so I might get the 200k before the new year haha 😂
Nice too see though in fairness basic stuff like this does enhance the experience even if just a tad.
