Just saw this, nice, will defs give it a go if it's easy to just jump into and access.

COD returning to Nintendo feels quite special to me as someone who used to play it on Wii/Wii U back in the day.

Yeah for sure.  My hope is that its not this stupid overarchine app you have to download like on PS5.  They need to debloat the expereince.  

It's funny, looking back it was almost a blessing that Switch 2 missed out on Black Ops 7 as that game turned out to be terrible, while MW4 looks like it will be a much better game to return the series to Nintendo platforms.

Possibly pariety reasons. Nintendo and Xbox have a strong relationship and im sure Nintendo isnt kicking a fuss over it. The deal was more to satisfy Sony and the FTC then Nintendo. CoD was never a top seller on Nintendo machines which will explain the lack of urgency from both parties.

Some gameplay of the Switch 2 version of MW4: mouse and gyro controls are confirmed to be in:

It's a "COD in a box". Not even GKC is enough for these greedy fucks. The want to eliminate trading and game sharing.

So it downloading the beta on both right now. First thing I notice is that the game file sizes are different. The Switch 2 is coming in at 39 GBs while the PS5 is about 56 GB. I assume that this comes down to texture size but there may be more to it.

Minimum install size for Switch 2 retail version is 85GB. I have no way of k kw what it is on PS5 as some estimates come in under the Switch size while some are over and there is the whole dumb COD app to contend with.

Multi-player.beta is live but it does require an online pass on Switch which is unfortunate because it is not needed on PlayStation.

I would like to here different people experience with the multi-player.

For this i tried Docked and Handheld mode on Switch. For docked I am using the Special Edition Purple 8BITDO and on PlayStation I game on a Pro with a Edge controller.

I really didn't like the control scheme in handheld mode and found aiming to be rather difficult. I found the the visual experience to be serviceable though and really found it cool having the experience in the palm of my hand. I dont really like the ergonomics of the Switch and much preferred the docked experience with the controller. I also started to feel a little motion sick in handheld mode. My play improved a lot once I Switched to dock mode. The performance of the Switch seem pretty solid.

Switching over to PS5 I was happy to see that my progress had carried over from my Switch.

Played in 120Hz and of course this made it much smoother. The controller felt better but this is in large part due to my familiarity with it as well as pressure controls.

All in all it was fun on both platforms.

I'm not into competitive multiplayer, but I did enjoy the campaign level on offer.

Once I got it tweaked properly, gyro aiming feels great.

Mouse mode's not my cup of tea, but its cool that it's an option, they definitely went the extra mile in supporting Switch 2's various features.

Not specific to the Switch, but I tried the campaign level and ultimately was left disappointed. It felt very rote, for a lack of a better word - not a very exciting scenario, which makes me a little skeptical of the rest of the campaign. Though, trailers do make the campaign to look very appealing. 

But I do want to try out the online when I have time later.
