I think you and I both know that's exactly what they're going to do.

I believe they're referring to the slide and dive mechanics. AFAIK considering this is the first game I've played in awhile, you can now sprint, slide, and dive in any direction.

Think like strafe sprinting and diving around a corner as you turn your aim around behind you to shoot at someone you just dove passed.

The gameplay has changed so little over the years but that's because it's unfortunately pretty solid.

I played a lot when I was younger but stopped because I didn't have the money, hard drive space, or internet bandwidth to keep up with the new games and updates.

With that said, I actually jumped into this beta since it was included in Game Pass and it reminded me of CoD of my youth.

Will I every give them anymore more money? Nah.

Will I play it some more via Game Pass? Maybe.

My biggest complaint is the ecosystem is cancer. They have CoD HQ that acts as a launcher but can only handle a couple games and if you select to play one of the games it can't play, it fully closes and launches the game you want to play.

Can you simply download and launch only the game you want to play? Nope.

This is all to get your eyes on as much of their content as possible to really squeeze out those last few dollars.

The amount of players I saw with the skins that cost them $100 minimum was crazy. These are very likely the same people that buy every game every year and are precisely the target demographic they're marketing towards.

I'm not that high on the totem pole unfortunately

Regardless of whether there is nicotine or THC, or whatever drug of choice in the vape, studies have shown that vaping is dangerous.

When you help manage thousands of servers with vim and nano already installed, it's just faster to use one of those than installing something else nearly ever single time.

I prefer nano for quick edits of small files, but vim for hunting down things in larger files.

To be fair, I booted into Windows to try out the beta and the performance was notably worse, at least for now.

Official release notes state Windows is the only supported OS. I went to test on my Linux machine with no luck and stumbled upon that.
