In top life news - my new dishwasher is arriving between 7-9am on launch day. The struggle of sleep v clean dishes is real.

I’ve spent roughly 14hrs playing DMZ over the last 2 days. Here are my initial thoughts: ▶️ Hajin might be one of the most gorgeous and incredibly immersive maps I’ve ever played. Dynamic Weather makes it truly feel different every time I load in. Particularly like playing in the rain/fog, the vibe is unmatched. Extremely unique POIs across the two land masses, no place feels the same ▶️ The FOB is a brilliant addition to the game. Encapsulates many of the major issues I had with the DMZ Beta. Now I have a place to craft, organise, upgrade and exist beyond just being in a raid ▶️ PvE elements (Dynamic Ops, Story Missions, general AI enemies, Lieutenants, Commanders etc.) are well implemented. I feel like the UI is extremely obtrusive around these elements and would like options to either scale those back or disable them if possible. I want to be immersed in the world and action, not bombarded with UI toasts every 10 seconds ▶️ PvP was slow to find on Day 1 but I’m now coming across more and more players. I feel this is mainly due to the early launch of the mode + players likely trying to complete missions vs hunting players. PvP will continue to grow over the coming days and I fully expect it to be at the fore come next week ▶️ I was expecting more from the physical extractions. There was a real chance to implement some different ways to exfil beyond just the choppers and the Fulton. Maybe in the future the devs could look at this? Some examples: take a boat to the edge of the map; locate a broken fence on the map boundary and extract w/o backpack? Final Exfil being able to be called in manually feels a little odd considering you can’t take it before the counter hits zero? ▶️ Progression feels FAST, but I’m playing a lot. It may not feel as fast for others. Weapon levelling is decently quick, don’t feel like I’m being restricted there ▶️ Vehicles have extremely arcade-like controls so they’re much more fun vs MWII DMZ Beta. Still have depth of damage & fuel. Heli controls are floaty AF though… they might need a bit of work! Overall, enjoying my time immensely. Looking forward to playing more tomorrow 💪

Last day of Korean Alley pop-up today in Shoreditch. I've heard from a few people that there was talk of an 'event' - it finishes today at 10pm and is free. Pyro from 7pm. We haven't got a separate planned UK event for the game this year. Can't wait to see you in Hajin. #mw4

Modern Warfare 4 may not have quite enough to be considered amongst the very best Call of Duty campaigns, but if it’s to be the end of this particular saga, then at least it's going out on a high note. bit.ly/3TN2xCO

VideoGamer has been de-indexed by Google. A legacy UK games media site killed by ClickOut. I worked for VG pre-acquisition - we brought back original interviews, rose the domain back up. It was acquired, filled with gambling ads, ravaged by AI, and then killed.
