    BF has a much steeper learning curve than CoD - CoD's simplicity used to be its strength and allowed it to flourish in a gaming market where CoD and BF could both thrive.

    For some reason, Activision weren't happy with this status quo and are now hellbent on taking a slice out of BF's, Halo's and Titanfall's share. Idiotic move in the first place, but worse still they've made a monumental mess of things.

    Personally, I prefer classic CoD to anything that BF's produced, but that's because I preferred what classic CoD offered that BF did/does not. That being said, current BF takes current (and recent) CoD to the cleaners. No contest. Current CoD is a parody of a once great franchise. There's no going back now, they're far too busy ingratiating themselves with the esports/kiddies crowds.

    I got my ps4 code instantly, but it does say wait up to 48 hours. Maybe it's in your junk mail folder?

    I really hope this game will be good. The main thing that worries me is the movement system where people can jump around all over the place which will kill mapflow. It's the main reason I didn't buy advanced warfare.

    Also the specialist abilities could be annoying if everyone for example gets the one shot pistol at some point in the game.

    Same.

    What's the next step after redeeming the code to ensure the beta downloads?

    Just redeem on the PS Store on the 19th and it'll auto download I guess

    Ok just read the terms and conditions of the amazon pre-order
    PS4 owners get the beta code on the 17th

    Went onto O2 priority app yesterday, they had no more codes left. This hasnt stopped DSpy with a news story promoting the offer today (Even though they ran out of codes)

    I got my code on Monday morning. Don't know if they'll release more though. As a poster wrote in another thread, it seems DSpy just get their news stories from the threads on here & post them hours/days later

    I take it everyone can choose the same specialist. Imagine defending a hardpoint then a clan comes running in all with the hologram activated, you would have about 24 enemies to aim for i think. Would be fun to see.

    I have seen people saying that they couldn't cancel their pre order through the store. You can download the beta in Japan without a code so im hoping my Japanese account works, it let me download themes and demos so it would be handy to give a mate my code if it comes through.
