COD: Black Ops 4

[Soul Assassin]

Each prestige also adds a new calling card. And IIRC for a dark ops challenge you need max prestige so you can't get completion without going max prestige

Meh, maybe ander dag.

Thanks for the info.

Oct. 21 Update: Network performance, stability improvements

My favourite thing is when people try to drop shot like we're playing on console.

You're doing it wrong if you're not:
A) Stafe jumping
B) Drop shotting
C) Hurdling through the air on your grapple hook

Oh and the odd killcam with 4x PK's doesn't hurt either

The end "Highlight" reel is terrible. They should just show off the last kill of the game. Most of the time the "Highlight" is someone getting one kill anyway.

And you really see how bad the hit reg is in the final kill cam

It's so terrible. I don't know why they thought it would be a good idea to show that. Hit markers appearing in mid air and people dying as they end up behind you and shit it's madness.

AFAIK (& stand to be corrected) Hitreg in cod is local, so during the game if you hit, you were on him; Killcam displays "server"/host side, so player 1 kills player 2, but by the time host receives that info player 2 has changed positions but killcam displays both the position of player 2 & the shot of player 1. That and just cod things, lan killcams are a bit more accurate but not completely.

I just like to use it as an excuse for the other players being better than me

I think this is more or less right, but regardless of the details I believe Activision has always said kill cams are not 100% accurate. I've heard that one of the more difficult things in game development is trying to create a decent kill cam.

I've got a feeling Blackout will die in a month, if that.
(In SA)...

I dunno I think it will actually pick up. People will get bored once they prestige a bunch and unlock everything in MP. Blackout has more replayability in the long run I think.

For sure, I do hope it doesn't die out.

Not to say I have more experience with it than anyone, but over the years being quite big on multiplayer I've noticed that the community moves on pretty quickly, and because the community is so small as it is, all it takes is 10% of the Blackout players to leave to make search times even longer for the people that have stayed. It'll then turn into the opposite of the snow ball effect, and slowly players will be turned off over time.

I use to buy games for their hype and "newness", but I just learnt time and time again that the game will die out much faster then the time I'd consider I got my moneys worth from the game. Similar to the recent launch of WW3 the game, looks like an awesome game. But I will give that game a month, and it'll be dead. More importantly because of the release of the new BF (next month).

This isn't the games fault specifically, but more because of how small the gaming community is in South Africa. Had this been the US, or EU, my opinion wouldn't apply.

Also, to add, I do have the new COD. So I'm not being a negative nancy

I think they might put too much weight into the medals when deciding who gets best play.

There have been times I know cooler stuff happened but the best play is given to someone that got one kill but it was with a headshot and kingslayer medal.

For those worried about empty Blackout servers, apparently Treyarch are aware and making changes in the near future:

All the LMGs seem pretty damn good once you get the right attachments.

 

[Chicken Licken]

Soooo. My game keeps randomly exiting. No error code nothing literally just exits. Either in blackout or in MP. Any idea of a fix?

 

[Jaak]

Have you guys managed to get into a game? Can't seem to find enough players.

If you're trying Blackout - don't even bother until the evening. Everything else seems to have some players from around mid morning.

 

[Braducken]

And don't bother unless you queue squads

 

[seeyou]

This I really don't understand. Really counter-intuitive, especially since most people queuing seem to be solo players who then get into the game and proceed to play like solo players. Quads are fun, don't get me wrong, but I'd love it if the solo lobbies would fill up too.

I think there might be a problem with their matchmaking servers that they are working on. Either that or there just aren't enough players

Pretty sure there just aren't enough local players. Hoping the situation improves a little after payday / black friday / christmas. Reckon if not, people will get tired of waiting around for 20 mins in a lobby inbetween games - specially if you get an unlucky drop and die in the first few mins of the game.

That's the nice thing about pubg/fortnite, if you die to something stupid 2 minutes into the game you queue and you're back at it. These battle royale games need loads of players to keep them alive.

 

[Jaak]

I think the big issue is that the kiddies haven't gotten their pocket money for the month yet...

Must say I much prefer Battlefields server browser, easy to search exactly for what you are looking for even if it is international.

Yeah you get a game quickly... With international players and toss ping. Can’t really compare those to a game with local servers.

It would be awesome if they could just show you the amount of players in that particular game mode type, just like in the previous cods. Now you just queue blindly and you could be the only in there. That's why I never bother queuing for anything other than TDM and on the odd occasion that hard point game mode

+1

Even an indicator for each mode / lobby - player amount low / medium / high. Also some anti-boredom features in the lobby would be great. Guessing they never figured on us poor plebs sitting around with nothing to do for 20 mins inbetween games.

a local zombies game you could launch while waiting for the queue to fill up would be epic.

Also why the hell can't you customize your classes while in a match?? Seems really stupid because if you're playing with friends the only time you get to customize loadouts is in the queue and if that is full then you get like 1 minute to do everything haha

 

[seeyou]

That would indeed be epic. But definitely player numbers are our biggest drawback at the moment. If you sit down for a 4 hour gaming session with Blackout, you'll spend maybe an hour playing, and 3 hours waiting/hanging out in the lobby.

Which is probably why Treyarch was smarter this time around and combined TDM and Kill Confirmed in one playlist.

Yesterday we were lucky enough to find a Hardcore TDM server. Too bad everyone camps like babies in HC. Was fun though. So much better than core.
