Black Ops 4 - Traditional Multiplayer & Battle Royale (Black Out)

[Deleted]

It already works the way it is though.

Much better than other games for a reason I can't explain - because it shouldn't.
Maybe it's the rather high TTK with armor.. and you don't feel it as much?

For those on about the netcode, it was 20 because of stability reasons, it's now been upped to 30, and Treyarch announced 2 days ago that during the next weeks it's going up to 60. So if that is anything that scares you, it's changing.

I hope so, because I found the experience in Beta (with 60Hz) a lot more enjoyable.

The difference is already noticable. And they are gradually rolling out the upgrades in the coming weeks. Treyarch, and Activision for that matter, is being really transparent with this CoD, way beyond what they have ever been or done before. They are adding content and patches often, and are planning support for the game for years, with planned content each month. So for all it matters, this isn't the average run-of-the-mill Call of Duty which has new content each 3 month's in form of a DLC, then it's over and out. It's new specialists, new game modes, new events (and they even said new maps, free of charge outside the Black Ops pass system) each month.

Man, I sadly gotta say that this game is pretty unplayable right now.

The online experience reminds me of the early years of online gaming, where you never had stable server available. It's just so frustrating to lose fights and entire battles because of how clunky the connections are.

The time to kill your opponent is also way too high for a CoD game and with recent nerfs to many weapons it only got worse.
And isn't it strange that they increased health to increase the time to kill with almost all weapons, yet you can still one shot people with a sniper rifle?

And how is it possible that even though the graphics look outdated (like early PS4 at best), yet a PS4 PRO is having difficulty rendering a lot of things?

Without these issues (and some more minor issues), this game would actually be almost as fun to play as MW2 was. I hope they get their sh8t together in the coming weeks, or it's going to lose it's popularity fast.

I don't have any connection issues at all.

But I'm not playing on console-

Yep 100% agree. I actually prefer the short TTK CoD games like Ghosts instead of this. I know its an unpopular opinion but I really hate the sprint spam CoD games are now and people wonder why the spawns are always a mess.

Nerfing weapons instead of buffing underperforming ones also sucks because its essentially a nerf to player power. Everyone loses because the bad weapons (smgs) still suck and the AR's and LMG's are still better but just weaker. So overall you're just weaker than before.

It's probably the worst its ever been since CoD 3.

It's just odd to me, because CoD was always about fast kills. Now you hit someone multiple times - sometimes in the HEAD - and they still manage to run behind cover.

And if you play on console, you now HAVE to use a gaming controller with extra paddles, because of how important JUMPING is in 1v1 fights. I got myself one of those controllers and everything is a lot easier now because I can jump now while still being able to aim, which is kinda ridiculous tbh.

I know the content is cherry-picked, but dunkey's video made the game seem hilariously broken from a balance perspective as well. eg: The Death Roomba giving you basically a free kill, multiple mines, etc. And yes, 60 TTK is the bare minimum they can do. If they actually cared it would be even higher than that. Many community servers for games are 100-120 TTK.

I was wondering why everyone i know that bought this went very quiet about it recently.



Activision gonna Activision i suppose. Glad i held off, i was expecting bugs rather than fee to pay quadruple dipping scams though, sucks for cod fans though.

They are purely cosmetics and have no effect whatsoever. The bigger question is, how was this ever a surprise to anyone? Cod points were LITERALLY part of the preorder packs.

True, everyone knew they were coming.

And they are mostly (if not only) pointless cosmetics that you don't even see outside of the lobby menu.
Who even uses gestures? That's suicide in a fast paced game like CoD!

The only real problem right now is that the game is still laggy/glitchy most of the time, which can be annoying. And they need to give SMG's on console a buff too.

Yea the microtransactions are fucking greedy shit and should not be there, but i think everyone knew they were comin. Buying the game gave u the currency for microtransactions even when they were not there.

Nuke town returns and it has a Soviet theme now!

I absolutely hate how they constantly patch GUNPLAY elements back to how they were doing things in Black Ops 3 and 2, and it's boring and i'm completely sick of this Meta that caters only to how the "Elite" Competitive Players play.

They always Whine about Crutch Perks etc... but the Competitive players use Crutch Weapons and perks regardless.

They whine about how GungHo is a Crutch Perk but they still use AR weapons that have Quick Draw and Stock like usual.

They nerf'ed/Balanced AR's and other weapons to the similar levels in the past to match play styles of past games and it's getting annoying and seemingly Pointless.

These COD Competitive Players will seemingly complain about everything yet use Meta Crutch Load outs.

COD Competitive also has different rules yet have no modes with the same rules as COD Competitive and why is that?

They made the gunplay similar to past COD games now, they changed the Meta back to how Previous Call of Duty players play, it's dumb. Instead of creating a new Meta they just made it similar to past games instead of trying something new.

And how is it possible that even though the graphics look outdated (like early PS4 at best), yet a PS4 PRO is having difficulty rendering a lot of things?

It's because they've been using the same outdated engine for years, and it's optimized poorly on the PC and still doesn't look as good as other engines.

And people like Drift0r keep on giving COD developers excuses, being complacent, and saying things like "WHAT DID YOU THINK IT WAS GOING TO BE?"

Did buy the game after the beta open weekend for Blackout .... my for CoD game in years and kinda enjoy the Blackout part and dived into the normal multiplayer this weekend .. i must say there matchmaking system ( if there is any ) is utterly crap ....

With hardly any onlocks i get matched with and against people over 00 ranks over me with golden weapon skins and get get scores like 36 - 3 so unless there is only 6 of us actually playing this game by now there is real issues with the matchmaking for this game ....

A shame as the game runs good and is fun the rare times it is a even match. but as it is now i think this game gonna be a dead one for me and it will likely be my last CoD game.
