    By using the same thought process here for anything. The whole guilty by association thing is a recipe for trouble.

    You could say by being American and therefore associated with America, that you condone the murder of children, seeing as America has been involved in multiple military campaigns across the Middle East where there have been civilian casualties which will include children.

    That absolutely will not be true when speaking to any individual American on such matters, and I feel it’s unfair to judge any man in this way.

    I bought it yesterday, the first call of duty game I’ve bought since Black Ops 2.

    First impressions are positive. I bought it primarily for the zombies mode, but dabbled last night in the other modes too.

    The normal multiplayer feels good (control being imho the best mode) in that the shooting is tight, responsive and largely how I remember it from 5ish years ago since I played the last one.

    The Battle Royale honestly feels like a bit of an unexpected result. I expected it to be crap as I got bored of PUBG after a few weeks and have tried multiple times to get into Fortnite but just don’t like it. The games are faster than both of its competitors, and subsequently feels fresh, and a little looser.

    The zombies is what I came for and is probably the best initial reaction I’ve had with any of the previous iterations I’d played. This I feel is largely due to the classes and abilities.

    Long story short, I feel the ability systems are a great addition to the formula and make the game feel fresh. First impressions are very positive, and it does feel that additional time that would have been spent developing the single player was spent on the rest of the game.

    I don't think they've acknowledged it, but i've heard a string of reports on this over the last few weeks.
