COD AW - RIP My Friend...


So Call of Duty Advanced Warfare is now officially dead, well in my opinion anyway. It was really hard trying to find an online match when the game was actually a little busier, but now it's like pulling teeth! I spent around 2 hours just trying to search for a Team Deathmatch game in the Core playlist, sadly no one joined, and I was there alone :( Shame after all the time, they still haven't fixed the matchmaking.

I know that a lot of people thought that AW was a waste of time, and was a terrible game, but personally, It was one of my favourites, and still will be... I can only hope that they make a reboot but keep the core gameplay the same because it was awesome! It was actually a COD game I was pretty decent at!

All in all, we completed everything there was to complete in our Clan and got to Max Level, and now have the funky red clan tag, which to be honest did look awesome as opposed to the golden coloured one. I am sitting pretty comfortably at Prestige 9 or 10. There's no way I can get any higher with the way the game is...

So today is a sad day, and we put COD AW to rest! Sleep well, my friend...

Black Ops 3 was a mediocre reboot of the Black Ops Series, and lets not even talk about Infinite Warfare or the remaster of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare! I have no words, just disgust... sorry devs but the games are awful, the reviews speak for themselves, please do something to stop the franchise dying a horrible death!

Apologies for the whiney post today! ;)

COD AW - Domination Kill Challenge...


Hey guys,

Sorry that I've been quiet recently, I've been working on getting some great footage together for making some YouTube videos, and the first is below for your viewing pleasure...

Now I've always said that I'm not the best gamer in the world, so this is an achievement for me, it's not that often I get this many kills, but even when I don't and I watch my gameplay back it always makes me chuckle, but hey there are worse players I suppose.

Call of Duty Black Ops 3 - Officially Announced...



Hellllllooooooooooo!! Today has been a very very interesting day for the Call of Duty series, Activision have officially announced that the next COD game to be released will be Call of Duty: Black Ops III!

It all came about a short while ago, when a random update was rolled out to Black Ops 2 games! Why would they update a game that's more than 2 years old? In doing this, they actually updated the game to reveal little teaser pictures, containing snap chat QR codes, these several snap chats, have revealed mysterious little details about the upcoming release, but nothing has really been given away, until now!

I can't tell you how excited I am for the launch of this game, Black Ops and Black Ops 2 were my favourite ever Call of Duty games, for both Zombies and Multiplayer, there have been lots of hints dropped all over the place today, here's the main points I've found out!
  1. Element 115 reference in the teaser trailer (Zoooooombies)
  2. Co-Ordinates to the location of a bridge in Egypt???
  3. Co-Ordinates of a school???
  4. Co-Ordinates of an old holding prison in Switzerland???
  5. Futuristic feel and look of the game, is there an Exo suit in there???
  6. Will this be available cross-platform or next-gen (I hope not, let us have one last COD on the old Xbox 360 LOL)
  7. Lots of hieroglyphics and symbols, factions or prestige emblems maybe??? 
The official world reveal is set to 26/04/2014 only 16 days away, It's so sad but I'm actually excited to see what comes of it!! 

Here is the official teaser trailer, released by Activision only a few hours ago! 

On a little bit of a final note, Clan Wars starts again tomorrow in approximately 19 hours, this time we're visiting L,A, not sure about the rest of my clan, but I'm looking forward to finally completing the centurion loadout, and I really want to get to Clan level 25, so we can have the infamous red tag! wooo...

Nighty night :)

COD AW - Two New Prestige Levels - Video...


Hello all and happy April, I'm really sorry that I haven't blogged in a while, I've been really busy spending a lot of my time over at my friends' house, playing A LOT of Call Of Duty, and staying up to ridiculous times in the morning, I've left now for a little while (Because I think they're getting sick of me a bit :P hahaha).

To celebrate the Launch of the DLC2 pack on COD AW, we had the opportunity to partake in some Double XP COD action, for a solid 3 days and oh did we play!

We played so much so, that I managed to get through two prestige levels, so now I'm sitting comfortably at Prestige 9 and most of the way through to Prestige 10.
Prestige 8 Emblem

Let me talk about Prestige 8 first...
So the emblem is pretty damn cool, it features a pretty scary snake with wings! Yes wings! I think I called this a Birnake half Bird/Bat and half snake...

This is one of my favourite emblems so far, I know I keep saying that but it really is...

Unlocks for this prestige level were 1x Atlas Tier 1 Pants, cool all red pants, similar to bloodshot design, and also one Advanced supply drop (Which I opened in the video below).

Now to move onto Prestige 9, the emblem in itself is a little bit of  a
Prestige 9 Emblem
let down, looks to be a series of swords, presented in a cross shape, with some sort of creaturey/animal thing in the middle, can't quite make out what it is, is it some sort of dragon? or is it some sort of other more friendly animal a Fox perhaps... I literally have no clue, if you do know... please enlighten me!

Unlocks for this prestige level again were a little disappointing, and I unlocked just one Advanced Supply Drop, which again is opened in the video below.

Let's hope that there's something pretty decent that we unlock at Prestige level 10, as soon as I get there, I'll let you know :)

One more point before I post the video, I've had a quick look at the new DLC pack, and the grapple playlist is awesome!! First time I used it, somehow managed to get a kill with it, by shooting it in between someones eyeballs, they must have had prior damage or something, not sure if this is a glitch or something! Gutted that I didn't record that shit lol...

Anyways here is the video of the prestige levels and the 2x Advanced Supply drop openings.

COD AW - Hardcore Team Deathmatch Gameplay...


I'm sorry that I haven't been blogging in a while, I have some very exciting news to share, look what came through the post the other day :D

I chose the Elgato Game Capture HD, because it had great reviews, and I like the fact that you can record your gameplay directly to your computers HDD, as others I've looked at require a flash drive, external HDD, and it's just far too much expense, so this is a short term investment for a long term gain (Hopefully).

So without further ado, I would like to present myself (Dweelan) and my friend Jennwee (JENNorthernSoul),

We played Hardcore Team Deathmatch on one of our favourite maps 'Terrace' and the result for both of us was quite pleasing, we did die a few times, but we hit them even harder, and managed to scrape a close victory...

But it's the winning that counts right?

If you enjoy this video, please let me know what you think :)



*Update* A couple of people have mentioned that the video is of poor quality, so I've uploaded it to YouTube and linked it directly to here, if you are finding it difficult to see, click the little 'Gear' and change the video to HD (I would recommend 1080HD if your internet connection is up to scratch.

I know it's a little hard to watch both screens at once, with it being split-screen Gameplay, but it's worth a second watch to see how the other person fairs.

I particularly like around 4:30 into the video, here you can see me and Jen clearing both entrances to 'The Room' now that's teamwork!

I would like to point out that I don't normally 'Camp' which is probably why my K/D ratio is ridiculous, I'm more of a run and gun type person, and when it pays off, it pays off big time!


On one final note, it was an absolute nightmare trying to get this video below 100mb because Blogger does not support files bigger than this. It's taken me a full evening and half of this morning, to get it to the correct stage, by running it through various compression software.

Because of this, the quality has had to suffer a little bit, but it should be clear enough for you to see the action!

As always, if you like what you see, please let me know in the comments below, I do seem to get a few views on my blog, but no one seems to want to speak to me :(

Enjoy the rest of your day!

COD AW - New Prestige Level/Recent Clan War...


Good afternoon all, I have entered into the next Prestige mode, Prestige 7.

Nothing great that unlocked, apart from an Advanced Supply Drop, you now get one at levels 20, 30, 40 and when you enter your next prestige mode!!! Bring on the Advanced supply drops!
Prestige Level 7 Emblem

I'm very very close to Prestige level 8, and I'm in need of a good week long double XP, so I can get to my goal of becoming a Prestige Grand Master (Which will probably never happen)...

Oh well here's to hoping.

Keep an eye out for a post going up in the next hour or so, it's a good one! :-)
The emblem pictured somewhere over there >>> is very cool looking, it has a picture of a fist with an Exo glove on there, and there's some sort of medieval/sword/angel theme going on there, definitely one of my favourite emblems so far! :-)

And moving onto the recent clan war that we particpated in over the weekend, we won (Again) making this our third win in a row, I'm very frustrated about two things.

  1. The fact that Search and Destroy was one of the territories that needed to be captured, I cannot and will not play Search and Destroy ever again, because it took me a full day to get the 6 wins needed!!! Grrrrrrr just WHHHHHHY!!!
  2. And again right at the very last minute, after dominating most territories for the majority of the clan war, someone swings by in the last few minutes and captures our location, this time it was Domination!!! Oooooh It's on!!!! 
So those are my frustrations for the game over the weekend, I'm still quite annoyed even though we won, a lot of hard work went into Dominating this Clan War, whoever messed it up I will find you... and I will kill you! hahaha...

COD AW - My New Playercard...



Good afternoon all, if you weren't working today, I hope you've managed to have a nice lie in (I know I have) sorry to those who haven't, but maybe next weekend eh? :P

I just wanted to show you my recent Playercard that I've created in COD - AW, so if you happen to come across me in a game I'm playing, feel free to check my blog out (I'm assuming if you're reading this, you might have done that), and also feel free to send a message, a game invite or whatever...

If you want to criticise the way I play my game, then please don't, I don't how many times I've said this but I'm not pretending to be the best COD player in the world, I just like hanging out with my friends, having a laugh, killing and of course dying loads :-)


Have a great rest of the weekend :)

COD AW - Prestige Level Challenge Resets...


This is just a really really quick post to share my excitement about something I've just found out today *Can I get another drum roll please*

LOL just kidding, it's not really that exciting, but I have found that when you do prestige in COD AW, all of your challenges reset (bit of a bummer) but your camo unlocks and challenges stay active!

This is a very very good thing, because getting those dogfight, and longshot medals are an absolute nightmare!!

Thank you Activision/Sledgehammer :-) 

COD AW - New Prestige Level...


So I've been playing COD now pretty much none stop over the past 2 days, and managed to scoop another prestige level, so now I'm Prestige level 6, and more than half way through to the next prestige level 7.

The prestige 6 emblem is pretty cool, it's a dragon presenting what seems to be a replica of a Scottish flag, that's a bit weird that it reminds me of a Scottish flag but it's still really really cool :) 
Prestige 6 Emblem
I'm also quite chuffed to announce that a new piece of loadout gear was unlocked, when I entered this prestige level, and this was the 'Atlas Tier 1 Shirt' an all red shirt, with black pockets and an orange zip, pretty cool as it looks close to the bloodshot loadout items.

During pretty much constantly playing COD over the past 48 hours, the game has become quite glitchy in places and quite frustrating, it feels like an unfinished piece of work, but when it works it works very well :)

The most frustrating thing is that I'm constantly getting messages such as 'No Games Found' when searching for a game, not sure what causes this, whether it's the matchmaking, or whether there genuinely isn't anybody else playing, but surely this can't be right?

Another thing that made me chuckle was when I was in the firing range, testing out the new MK14 - Eclipse I unlocked the other day.

And these were my results... LOL




103% Accuracy? GO ME! lol, again sorry for the bad picture quality, capture card will be with me in the next 10 days or so :-)

And I leave you with a final thought, Easter is one of my favourite times of year, because of the family comings together, and also the fact that Easter Eggs are the best invention since sliced bread.

Here's a picture of Betty the Cow enjoying kicking some ass in COD.

Xbox 360 Gamertag Change...

So previously my Gamertag on my Xbox was dylz312, this has now been changed to my nickname 'Dweelan' it's also pretty cool because I've also created a Blogger emblem in Call of Duty - Advanced Warfare, to showcase this and try and get some more readers.

I played COD for a little bit today, and haven't played that bad in months, it wasn't even the quality of the other team, it was just down to me slacking and being tired, so the best I managed today was like 12 kills - 30 deaths, whoops that's not going to do the ratio too good is it?

Bah, like I say, I am not the best gamer/COD player in the world, and I don't intend to be, I'm having a lot of fun, even if I do die multiple times a minute.

So here is my new name tag kindly provided to me by Xbox, this would have cost £6.79 but I had some money stocked up from Xbox rewards, so I think my contribution to it was around £1.99 or something like that.

This is just a quick post today, about sharing my excitement for my new Gamertag :D

Charlie & Me
Yes that is me wearing a chicken suit (This was because our old clan in Call of Duty - Black Ops 2 was called #CHICKEN) I miss the COD Elite days :-(

And yes that is also my husky called Charlie... and he's 3 this year!

COD AW - Clan Wars & Clan Raids...


So I've talked about our clan RHN being level 22 now and I was searching and searching to find out how many levels our clan could go up to, and what rewards we can reep.

Something I haven't quite found out yet, is how much clan xp you earn and when... so I'm going to keep looking :)

So here is a list of the rewards you can earn from clan level progression:

So if you're not already in a clan, get in one now to earn some awesome rewards because a little bit of double XP goes a long way, and the red/golden clan tags look cool too :-)

Clan Raids

Something else coming soon are Clan Raids, this gives you the opportunity to spend your clan tokens (We have 900 in the bank) to participate in time sensitive challenges to get some great rewards, from what I can gather you participate with other clans and can earn some exclusive loadout items, which looks like the below:

The Equilibrium Set 
What's even better is, there will be a Clan Raid preview for Clans in the Diamond Division starting on 09/03/2015... Just two days away!!

If you are in a clan and competing in a clan raid, please let me know how it goes :)

Meet R2D2...

This is obviously not following the COD AW theme I've got going at the moment, but I'd like you to meet my new purchase (my new friend) R2D2 himself, he's very nice and stores all of my savings in his little backpacky thing, or his shell, well he is basically a moneybox... but he really is real honest :)


He is around 19cm tall, and probably won't fit much money in, but I think maybe around 100-150 £1 coins perhaps, a lot of the storage space is taken up by the bulky battery pack.

The best feature of my new pal is that he makes his cool noises when coins are inserted, he has around 5 different phrases, and if you're a geek like me you'll know exactly what he's saying :D

I actually picked him up from Avon for the bargain of £9.50, I don't think there's many left though, but I have sourced one for you, it's pretty much the only place I can find one... mind I only searched for about 3 seconds.

Anyway, here he is £21.76, even at that he's worth it :-)

Please Note: this is not my website, and I'm not trying to sell my own products, just sayin' :P

COD AW - Update/Clan Wars & The Prizes...


So as promised, this is what I won from finishing first in the Clan Wars, I'm also going to share my thoughts on the two new weapons I have received from being a season pass holder, and my thoughts on the new game patch that went live not so long ago...

So first things first can I get a drum roll please...

And the Winner is?! Dweelan!! Woohooo #Obviously


Again I'm really sorry about the picture quality here, I promise that when I get the capture card it will be much better (In my opinion). So yes we won the Centurion Pants and our clan has reached the dizzy heights of level 22, this is to go with the previous prizes won The Centurion Exo, The Centurion Knee Guards (Shin pads) and the Centurion gloves, below is a picture of what they look like again poor quality (So shoot me)...



So that's that, I'm not too sure what other prizes can be won, I know there's a centurion Helmet, maybe a top and boots I'm guessing, well i'll let you know how our clan progresses and what prizes we can reap :D

The second subject is with regards to the recent call of duty patch that was sent out to everyone not so long ago, as soon I logged in I had received two very smart looking weapons, the Ohm - Werewolf and the Ohm, in my humble opinion the Ohm is the better designed because the colour orange is #Awesome and it looks like it has teeth around the front of the gun, and scary teeth are just what you need as a COD player regardless of skill level :P


Now I've used these two weapons and I'm quite impressed with the short range shotgun option, but the long range just doesn't do it for me, I struggle with the long range kills on this gun, it might just take some getting used to though, as I like to use the hybrid sight on my AK12 R.I.P for long range gun fights, I'd probably say that my long range skills are much much better than my short range ones, which is slightly weird considering I prefer the short range on this gun.

But to sum up, two very good guns with great damage stats, the let down for me is that they are classified as 'Heavy Weapons' so it's slow and sluggish to move around with them.

Moving onto my final point of being able to buy supply drops which are known as Advanced supply drops, this is only currently available on the Xbox One (these are going to be released on other platforms later on), and can be bought in multiples of 1, 3, 5 or 10, if you buy the 5 pack you receive an extra one or if you buy the 10 pack you receive an extra 3, each supply drop guarantees you 3 items, and at least 1 gun above professional level, they also come with there own armory slot, so if you're full that's fine :P but the word on the street is that the drop rate for the really great items is still pretty low, and its still pretty similar to opening a standard supply drop, and would I want to pay for the privilege of having some more clothing for my character? erm... nope.



Having said that though, you can get some exclusive items out of these drops, so it all depends on whether you're the gambling sort. I would probably buy a couple to see what I get, but just for the excitement of opening one, there's always a moment of awe when you hear that noise and then your heart beat raises slightly when you hear 'Elite' you're like woooohoooo!!! Or is that just me?

COD AW - Clan Wars...


Hello, I just wanted to say that another thing I like about Call of Duty Advanced Warfare is the Clan Wars option, I'm in a clan called RHN which is short for Rhino and is the name of a cute little guinea pig :)

There's 3 active players in our clan, so if you are looking to join a clan not to be the best, but just so your'e in one with decent people who like to play and win then let me know :)

We recently competed in the last clan war in the platinum division and came 1st, we've won two in a row now, so we are eligible for the Diamond Division, but we haven't collectively decided whether or not to go for this yet, as there's a sense of fear that were not good enough to win :P

#Awesome
This is a screen shot from the Call of Duty companion app, that we use it's not as good as the old Black Ops 2 Elite app, or the competitions in there, but it's still great, intense fun...

We dominated this one, but lost Team Deathmatch right at the end grrrrr... 

And might I just add, that I find Search and Rescue/Destroy to be the most difficult game mode I've ever played, it must have taken me 5 or 6 hours at least to get the 6 wins needed to take control of the hospital.

When our rewards come through, I'll let you know what they are :-) 

See you again later on :)

COD AW - Personal Achievement...


Good afternoon, hope you all managed to have a nice lie in, I know I said I would only post one a day, but I came across this picture and wanted to share it with the world, because i'm 'Buzzing' about it, if you don't know what buzzing is, then basically it's another word for really really excited/happy.

I'm not a chav also I might add, but I do often get 'Buzzing' lol...

So I was playing Call of Duty Advanced Warfare with my clan, on Domination (Which is my favorite game mode), and we were playing on a map Called instinct, which is one of my favorites as well, and the end result for me, was aaammaazziinnng!!!

Sorry JENNorthernSoul we love you really :P
So as you can see the end result was a very tasty 55 kills, and a very very respectable 10 deaths, this is a mixture of using my favorite gun in a COD game everrrr the AK12 R.I.P splashed with a gold camo, I do have diamond camo for this, but it just doesn't have the same effect:


And using my scorestreaks usually the system hack, the sentry gun, the warbird and the paladin, I always have my warbird set to 'Defender' so it will seek out targets near me and kill them, I personally feel this is better than aggressor, because it just seems to have a break and get some mojitos or something without actually killing anything, my sentry gun acts as a sentry and can fully rotate 360° I think I got my first ever 30+ kills without dying in this particular match, and considering I'm not really the greatest player in the world, I'm proud of that!

Sorry the picture quality isn't great, its just a pic from my phone, until my capture card arrives in the next few weeks :)

Enjoy your afternoon.
