COD: Black Ops 4

I don't know how to respond without coming across as a complete wanker lol
COD is casual and PUBG isn't, that's the best of way of describing it.



My biggest gripe with the game was how shit the netcode was during the beta. Yes we had local servers but I instantly felt like something was off.
My first sniper shot, I watched the bullet travel through the players head without registering...Local player on a local server...

Then there are other issues, like balance. (Weapon balance/zombie weapons ect)
The broken armor (We just have to take their word that it'll be fixed)
Using meds while moving/underwater...
Time to kill is far too long (Could be due to the armor), but the above problem just makes it worse.
Reviving a downed team mate is insanely fast...So fast that it's almost impossible to get a flank going.

Activision is right up there with EA when it comes to greed and it's just a matter of time before they mess something up with paid for weapons/cosmetics.
Not to mention their love of releasing paid for maps, splitting the player base. Not sure if they'll do this for blackout but who knows.

Balance issues I'm not too much concerned about, as that will be fixed over time. Same with the netcode.

This is just my opinion but the game plays better for me than PUBG because of small things such as looting (which is quite faster in CoD) and vaulting (you can jump and vault over instead of running against the wall and then press vault to vault).

I'm also worried about the greed of Activision, cause P2W is quite a deal breaker for me.
 
For anyone still looking to buy, you can order from cdkeys for about R600. You can get a 3% discount code on their Facebook page (just use incognito and enter any email address).
 
I can't see people leaving pubg for Blackout.
Don't get me wrong the game is fun, and I enjoyed the little bit I got to play, but it is in no way a competitive experience.

What's competitive about pubg? All the bugs competing for your levels of patience?

Just got my PC copy. It's a code inside the case, No Disc.
 
I see another 2GB update just came out a few minutes ago and the servers go live 6am tomorrow for us.
 
[emoji23] so no single player campaign and not even a physical disk with an installer on it?
Least they could do is bundle a sentimental flash drive in there or something. Sheesh

From what I saw it's a cardboard disc with the code printed on it.
 
Just picked up mine (PS4). There is a disc, but almost instantly after I put it in, it said "finished copying from disc." So I'm thinking the disc is empty basically. Don't have a BR drive on my PC to check.

Download is 17GB for now...sure it will become bigger at some point.

Got mine at BT Games. About 30 people there at 6PM. Of all the people I saw collecting games, all were PS4 except for 1 guy who got Xbox. Didn't see any PC.

Saw 2 guys get the Mystery Box edition. Looks super cool.
 
Can anyone confirm if there is blackout local servers on PC?

Really wana buy this :)
 
All the guys that will be playing, especially on PC, please let us know what your take on the game is. I didnt feel BFV this year when i played the beta so considering BO4.
 
Waiting on takealot to deliver.. will keep you posted.
 
Ordered an MEA key. It has already been claimed. FFS. Now to wait for customer support :/
 
If i change my currency on blizzard to dollars and buy the game will it region lock my account to USA :/? (its cheaper to buy it with dollhairs)
 
There is local servers yes. Well worth it!

It is only facilitated throught battlenet's app.. the servers are not run by blizzard themselves.

Yes it is on PC. My latency is sitting at about 30.

I believe it’s peer to peer. Not entirely sure. I have not had a lobby merge as yet either.

It's not P2P, the servers are hosted by GameServers.com in Cape Town, my ping is around 40ms and I'm about 100KM outside of JHB.

The servers are starting to fill up faster and faster, my last game I barely had to wait.
 
I only get lobbies with 40 people max
