COD: Black Ops 4

I don't complain about people camping anymore because I do the same thing for challenges, like last night I needed to get 10 kills lying down.

Yeah you made those nade kills all too easy xD

I see you know exactly when I'm talking about.

It was the only time I ever saw you perma-camping xD

It's useless anyway because next I have to get 10 kills underwater, isn't Contraband the only map with water?

Edit: Maybe on Icebreaker I can do it.

Contraband is the best map to do it though. Icebreaker's patch of water is open from all sides

But on Icebreaker the water is right next to where all the snipers camp. I just don't know if it means I need to be underwater and get kills or if we both need to be underwater.

I think both players need to be underwater, not sure to be honest. Haven't tested it.

 

[Soul Assassin]

I'm 90% sure only you have to be underwater, I had Contraband twice in a row and got it, now I have a cool animated calling card.

Oct. 23 Update: Black Market Progression, Network Performance, Mercenary Playlist

We’ve also made the following update specific to PC:

• Memory Leak Fix
  • Fixed memory leak issues that eventually caused the game to close with an error.

 

[seeyou]

They've also upped the tick rate to 30hz in "some" locations. Not sure if our backwater is included in the list.

Also very excited to hear they're going to improve directional audio in Blackout in the next week or so.

Oh wow 30Hz be still my heart. Honestly they are kidding with this nonsense, pretending like they are splitting the atom or something. Your last game had 60Hz at launch dummies, get a grip.

Ey ey ey, don't be silly now...Running 60hz servers is pricey...It's not like they've made over $500 000 000 in the first 3 days...

To be fair, they've said they're ramping it up and monitoring the effect as they go. You're dealing with thousands of servers and hundreds of thousands of players across a massive network. You don't just ramp up updates to each client from 20/sec to 60/sec and expect everything to keep going smoothly.

They've also been ultra responsive about fixing bugs and community concerns. Patched up memory leaks, and are going to be addressing the weird directional audio issues in Blackout in the next week. I'm willing to cut them some slack.

Uh except for the fact that the patches aren't actually fixing the issues. Sure you say you working on it and it should fix it but if it does nothing then the devs haven't exactly accomplished anything.... And they should have enough knowledge on networking to know how to upgrade the servers, that's just another excuse not too. This isn't your little indie Dev that has no previous experience. It was clearly a sneaky tactic for greater profit, good old Trey/act move. Only time they admit anything is when they get caught simple as that. It's amazing actually how dumb they think their player base is, meanwhile everyone is giving them the dunce hat.

This game is lots and lots of fun, having a blast with my buddies... However the devs don't deserve much praise just yet. They still have a long way to redeem themselves.

Wasn't last year's COD a massive disaster during the launch week when the servers were constantly up and down and the game wouldn't even launch for a lot of users?

Not really from what I recall, day 1 and 2 had some issues but was pretty stable overall. I was able to play a lot over the first few days.

I was genuinely asking as I didn't play it, I just remember reading every time a new update came out the servers would crash but maybe that was overly dramatic to get clicks. I remember it was the Sunday and the next week Sunday.

Blackout seems to be unavailable in SA tonight. Dunno if that server process died and nobody at Treyarch knows / gives a @*#$& about our little backwater, but it doesn't appear they're even aware. GG.

There was a client update for me at around the time you posted this, try again?

 

[seeyou]

Have done, and got the update. Something up with the server - lots of people having issues.

Calling it a night. Always a pleasure not being able to play a game you paid for.

On another note, found this on reddit, and it did indeed net me about 5-10fps on average for very little work. Someone in the same thread actually suggested to change the worker_threads value to one less than the number of threads your CPU has, and not just 4, but I'm posting the original for reference:

Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Call of Duty Black Ops 4\players\config.ini

or wherever you installed the game and open config.ini with notepad. Change the default values of these two lines. My processor has 8 threads so I set it to use 4 (it was previously 2). For the second one, I enabled it even though I have a quad-core processor and it seemed to produce more gains.

//Thread count for handling the job queue worker_threads = "4" // 2 to 16

//Enable multi-threaded rendering, should improve performance on 6-cores+ cpu using Nvidia graphics card threaded_rendering = "1" // 0 or 1

Same issues here, first time trying to play COD in 10 years... Looks about the same as it did 10 years ago

If you guys can't get local blackout games just jump into some chaos tdm.
Had some really good runs tonight, so much fun with the carb guys.

 

[Soul Assassin]

I caved and prestiged again because I had a Monster 2XP code. I used my unlock token on the VAPR this time, it's pretty good and I'm getting a ton of headshots with it.

Also the first big update is planned for next week which will include the first balancing changes.

 

[SantaMuerte]

One of myself and @GuardianTB 's games from Tuesday night. We carried the shit out of our team

Tried really hard to like it - played one or two games when Blackout wasn't working. Just confirmed my past impressions though - I really, really cannot stand TDM.

 

[Soul Assassin]

So I prestiged and had to play with the stock classes again, sweet mercy that Swordfish with Penta Burst is good, now I'm kind of sad I didn't use my unlock token on the Swordfish to level up.

Also what kind of bullshit is this, apparently you can get banned for being too good at the game, former pro player and current gameplay designer on BFV was banned so he made a little compilation of his gameplay:
