mikey Hey!! Lots of what happened in just 4 months since that last post!
We now have AW: s1x, which I tried and enjoyed as is. But I can say that the game is just not for me
It does have cool stuff like FOV Slider, Unlock FPS/All (being able to try variants and all the outfits are sweet!), but core gameplay is really not my cup of tea. I appreciate introducing jetpack in the series, but I prefer the simple Jetpack movement in Black Ops 3/Infinite Warfare.
I don't need side boosting or ground pound. It made things a bit complicated as is. And also, no wallrunning, which can really be frustrating in close buildings. So I appreciate Treyarch for implementing it in BO3 and Infinity Ward for keeping it for IW. Sliding is even better in IW. Just smooth all around.
WAW:t4m/Plutonium
Finally! I tested it with my own reshade and it looks gorgeous!
Unfortunately Reshade (any dll really, so this affects it) is currently blocked for BO2. It's still working on WAW and MW3, but it will be a matter of time before they block it to those games.
Fortunately, the team is considering loading its own shaders provided by the client itself in the future! Kinda like what Gshade does with FFXIV

So if we can have same options as Reshade latest version (v.4.9.1), package as Plutonium own and customize it to our liking. Then I think that'd would be better! It will give everyone a try on using Reshade options without having to still allow dll since, it is still a risk for hackers/cheaters galore.
All that's left really now are Black Ops 1 and Infinite Warfare. There are some discussions about BO1 being made, but of course. Nothing is confirmed and will just have to wait for it to be surprised(I know it will come someday, since rektT5m is dead as hell).
I definitely wanted xlabs to do Infinite Warfare than Advance Warfare. I think they will do it sometime next year once AW becomes more stable(which it already is to be honest).
IW needed it the most. Console Command/FOV Slider/Unlock FPS(PC is locked to 90 which is dumb), Unlock All/Max Rank (I want to try the variant weapons and scorestreaks!) as well as possible 9v9 bots via console command (/xpartygo - /spawnbots 17).
As for COD WW2. Ehh, I played it a few weeks ago. Gave it as many chances as well. It's just boring honestly. Zombies has some cool QA changes. So having Unlock all would benefit Zombies the most. But IW needs to be priority for sure!
I would save BO3 for the 10th Anniversary (2015-2025). Since game is still getting supported via mods on Steam. Only reason to have a client right now is due to the price of having to have everything which is still full price DLCs (good thing I got the DLC on that was on a rare sale a week or so ago).
Sorry for posting this essay like comment XD
Just excited that old COD games are finally getting the support they deserve! BO4 and onwards (basically when they switched to Steam to Battle net) just made things complicated now.
I want BO4 to have its own custom client, but will probably wait for 5-10 years until it's possible to crack it (if ever).
