I'm actually looking forward to COD BO7.
COD BO6 campaign was overall great, just weird and confusing in the second half.
Also futuristic COD is going to be refreshing.

I'm getting really fed up with Twitter
I don't care if it's a story leak, or a gameplay leak, just keep that shit to yourself.
It's not fair for the fans and even more so the people working on it.
Honestly, there's so little respect towards game developers these days which is crazy to me.

Indeed this is exactly what I see with Vsync on when Hardware Accellerated GPU Scheduellin gis on.
This is GTA V Enhanced in scene where I have 100+ fps with good frametimes without vsync. With vsync on look at that graph! Nvidia needs to fix this.
