Put about an hour or so into the beta, here are my thoughts:
graphics, its COD. its uses HDR for those with a tv thats capable and while it looks good, its still just COD, nothing mind blowing. it runs pretty smooth with minimal screen tearing.
audio....this is the strongest part of the game. my surround is being worked HARD. gunshots carry heavy bass and loud, crisp, sounds. explosions are also loud....the game in general is loud.
are there no grenades in the future? cause i cant find any and no one seems to use them.
the maps available are..........ok. they seem oversized for how often people end up in the same spot match after match. the island map is my favorite so far. everyone is spread out, and you rarely get stuck with everyone in one spot at once. overall, theyre ok. very little camping or spawn camping at least.
gunplay and controls are as tight as ever, no complaints there.
the game STILL has the usual bullshit where you obviously shoot first and put bullets into a guy but they somehow still get the kill...and then you watch the killcam and even that agrees you lit the dude up first...its immensely frustrating the amount of deaths ill have b/c the enemy miraculously kills me outta nowhere...
kill confirmed is my game of choice currently, loving it.
