    Is this the one where the only new idea they could come up with is the ability to sprint backwards? Lmao

      It is, and it’s stupid. The only real thing they changed this time around is “supine” aiming so you can look 360° while lying down. Overall it’s lower down in the recent cod releases for me. Wouldn’t be bothering with it if it wasn’t free on gamepass.

        It was funny to me seeing comments from people saying things like “I haven’t been a fan of COD for four years but this pulled me back in!”

        I’m like, four years? That’s it? How long have fans of other franchises been sitting on their asses waiting for a sequel for their beloved games longer than four years? I can think of quite a few tbh. It just made me feel like the average attention span for a COD fan was extremely short (relatively speaking).

          Those people are probably young and 4 years is a significant portion of their lives

      I haven’t seen any more than the single tile on my xbox home screen.

      I wonder if its regional or just that my ad blockers are working.

        It’s on YouTube, broadcast tv, and I unfortunately can’t run adblockers at my job. At home I’ve got a pihole that works wonders. It’s amazing how horrible things are when I’m not behind it.

          I guess that would do it.

          At home I’ve got a pihole

          How is the pihole from a maintenance perspective?

          I have my family using adguard DNS on our mobile devices and it does a great job of killing ads in the mobile games my son plays (and browsers of course).

          I unfortunately can’t run adblockers at my job.

          Ouch! We have deployed ad blockers on all supported bowsers as a matter of policy to meet our security goals.

            Once you set it up, it’s fairly low maintenance. I’ve got one setup at my parents house with a cron job set to auto update blocking lists and software. The hardest part is finding the right combo of lists that block everything you don’t want but allow what you do.

            The Pi it’s on also has plenty of power for a vpn server as well so I can hop into their network when they have issues or to do data syncing.

            And yeah, I’ve brought it up with security and they’re thinking about network level blocking. They don’t like browser plugins that basically need access to inspect content on every single web page you crawl. Who knows what data might leak.
