I honestly feel bad for people who've spent countless hours unlocking all Specialists. At least you got a costume out of it lol

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 |OT| Late to the party
- Thread starter TheUnseenTheUnheard
- Start date
The costume is really bad, it blinks red all the time so it's pretty much an "aim right here" costume.

Patch notes are up. Zero nerfed, basically just increased time to earn ability, and various time increases for hacking specific streaks

Why is every patch like 10gb+ anymore? It's pretty fucking annoying
Also nerfs to Zero aren't good enough. More needs to change.

Bah! Another 2nd place in Blackout with 7 kills. I'm so hungry for another win after my first one!
Edit: Do we have a Discord server for Black Ops ERA?

Oh good the patch notes say this:
Though that being under custom games for Blackout makes me worried it will only be for that at first.

Good. On top of being really OP it made no sense that she was able to do that.
Contraband Stash
- Added limited-time Contraband Stashes, which give access to the Slay Bell and Secret Santa melee weapons.
Sit down to play and my game hasn't updated lol
Even with my good internet by the time it's done it will be too late

Yeah really disappointing, was hoping for at least some basic customization or the option to play limited time modes like Close Quarters Frenzy
Is no one fucking pissed off that this game has cosmetics locked behind tiers that can only be bought with CoD points that can't be earned but only bought through real money?
Shame this game doesn't offer in-game currency. I think this game is a huge step backwards from BO3 except the jumping.

What? Tiers are earned by playing you don't have to spend money. I love the way they have handled the black market in this game.
Yeah those tiers, but they have separate tiers wehre you can only get those by buying. Have you seen those?
I think he means the ones where you use CoD points for the characters. Those are seperate from the free ones.
Beat the Dead of the Night EE the 3rd time playing the map, and the first 2 times I wasn't even trying. The only really scary parts are the 3 lockdown steps (2 of which are made way easier because they take place in areas with good trap locations) and the boss fight, which is pretty easy if you go in well-equipped. For anyone that's never done a Main Easter Egg before this is a pretty good map to do it on, it's pretty easy and I feel doesn't have any obnoxious steps if you're following a well-written guide. Quite a few cool moments too.
Now I just got towait for Treyarch to lower the round requirement for the Classified EE do the Classified Easter Egg and I'll have all of them done again.
Now I just got to
You're gonna sit there for 8 hours spamming the shield gun and you're gonna like it.
DOTN easter egg is very laid back, super easy map to get setup on too. Great balance between high round and easter egg play. And the aesthetic of the map is great. Werewolves are some terrifying shit.
Yeah this Copying update file is straight bullshit in how long it takes. I'm fine with the nerfs to Zero as I never had a problem with it. It never stopped me from doing my thing in matches.
I really strongly suspect that they're going to eventually lower the round requirement for the EE, especially if they plan on requiring it to get the Super EE at the end of the DLC lifecycle. The game is generally too unstable at high rounds for people to consistently actually get to 150, I'm pretty sure at this point less then 10 people have legitimately beaten it. Even most of the notorious high rounders haven't done it yet because the game crashes before they get there. (Worth mentioning that almost all the high rounders play on PS4 which has historically been by far the least stable platform to play BO4 on though) Even if they did eventually get the game in a spot where you could consistently actually get to 150 without the game crashing 150 is just way too high. Both the people whose footage I could find getting to 150 had over 32 hours of In-game time to get there. Maybe there was something inflating their hours quite a bit (I don't think it counts pause time though) but even if it took only 10 or so hours to reach 150 I don't think that's reasonable. I don't think the vast majority of people are ever going to attempt it knowing that even if they played well enough to hit 150 it would take over 10 hours of gameplay to do it and there was always the risk of the game crashing. I feel like something like 115 would be a much better number, it's significant to the lore and would still be an extremely respectable round while also saving people tons of hours.
Still haven't figured out the Stake gun EE yet but so far it's a pretty neat map. The Egg is pretty enjoyable to me, easily at least 2nd best so far in BO4 behind Voyage. (Difficulty aside I think that egg is REALLY good) I like that there's no massive round gating like IX and BOTD have, I've always hated eggs that force you to advance rounds for some of the steps. (Fuck Shaolin Shuffle's Egg btw) There's enough combat to make it not just a bunch of running around doing nothing. The only two major problems I have with the map are the special enemies and the amount of stuff you have to remember the location of. I think the Werewolves are pretty cool and are a decent replacement for the Blightfather, but I think that the vampires are far more annoying then the Tigers or Dogs from other maps. The red effect is pretty obnoxious and they seem to take more hits then normal zombies rather then less. And the Crimson ones (Which I'm not sure if they normally spawn in the map, I think it might just be for EE steps) are even worse. And on top of that there's the normal catalyst zombies. Thankfully the map gives you a choice between two different EE weapons to beat the vampires. The Stake Knife was a lot more effective then I thought it would be, typically you're spamming the charged shot of the Wonder Weapon, whose biggest downside is that it doesn't affect the Werewolves and the Crimson Nosferatu. But it does affect everything else so it's pretty easy to use the weapon to clear out everything else, then when you see that it's not killing one of the vampires you can just safely melee it.
The other annoying thing though is just that there's so much stuff to find. I'm learning the Shield and Silver bullets stuff, but it's really annoying that there's both a set of 3 items to get molted silver AND 3 more items to actually make the bullets, I feel like just one set would have worked just fine. Then there's the Flame cores which are all around the map, fortunately I seem to find them fairly easily despite never usually looking for them. And worst of all is the Zodiac step in the EE which requires you to not only know where 7 different spots for the Zodiac symbols to spawn, but also 3 claw mark locations for each of them. I feel like more then any other map I'm spending so much time looking at my other monitor reading where everything actually is. Glad I'm exploring the map in solo first, doing that sort of thing on the fly would be a nightmare.
Other then those things I think the map is really cool. Awesome setting, neat Wonder Weapon, there's some fun side Eggs to do that actually feel like they might be worth doing, (Looking at you Hell's Redeemer and Golden Spork) and the Main Egg is pretty solid too. High rounds are going to be broken on this map though. You can just keep buying infinite ammo for the Hellion Rocket Launcher from the looks of it thanks to the Silver Bullets.
Hey, thinking of picking this open since its $30 bucks right now at best buy. Does anyone know whats is the player count like for blackout on PC and PS4?
My black market tiers are stuck at 1/3 through getting tier 1. Been playing for over an hour. I have no idea wtf is going on.
UPDATE: Sorted, just went up a full tier plus some after a match.

Depends on your region. I'm in Western US on PC and I'm still able to find matches at pretty much any time, but there's lots of stories about people in extremely underpopulated regions (South Africa, Middle East) having restricted queues and not having enough players. PS4 is definitely the most populated platform, but as of now at least PC Blackout is still fairly populated in the more popular regions. If you have no real platform preference get the PS4 version, much of the new content is available there a week earlier then the other platforms. But If you prefer PC and are willing to maybe wait a minute or two for a queue and a week or so for new content then PC should be fine.
Thanks for the info. Is there a hacking problem btw? In the past with pubg, I got frustrated and quit playing for a few months due to the hackers everywhere.
Dual wield Saugs makes multiplayer challenges so much more bearable. I'm a little scared of when I switch to my next weapon.
I primarily play Multiplayer, but I've got around 7 days of ingame time so far and I haven't encountered any that I could really notice. I haven't heard anybody really talking about them either. I'm sure there's some out there but they're pretty uncommon.
So is there no other way of getting the new guns other than unlocking those tiers from black market?
You have 70 days to play for 100 hours, remove 1 hour for every daily bonus you get. It's not that bad but it'll take a while. Most people should be able to get it at the end.
Not even an hour, either play play Blackout and get a kill, or play MP and get a win and you earn the daily tier skip. Could take 5 minutes depending on your skill level.
Edit: I see you covered that, lol. Tired eyes, need more coffee.
I've been mixing this up with Smash but as long as I log in and get a win everyday and move up on my own 30 times then I should get it before it runs out. Ideally I want to be in good position that during the latter half of this stream all I have to do is log in and win cause once Kingdom Hearts 3 comes out I'm only gonna log in to win a match then that's it.
Treyarch, can you please stop throwing this viking shit at me? I don't want to buy microtransactions but when they are vikings related I can't control myself.
finally. They definitely needed a way to make all those MTs available to Blackout players. My thought for why they made all the MP characters unlocked in Blackout is that people are bad and couldn't unlock them so they weren't buying skins for them.
Uhm I just briefly was in a team of 5 in a Blackout pre-lobby..... Didn't actually play as a team of 5 because one person left but I thought it's quite interesting
This happened to me a couple of days ago. The 5th guy also disappeared in the pre-lobby for us, but when our 4th and final teammate died in game, he went down instead of dying instantly.
$30 (even less with GCU) is the perfect price for me to hop back in. Hope I don't regret this.
I just reset all my stats and back to lvl 1 :(
Wanted to prestige and without paying attention and somehow ended up having to do everything from scratch.
Why on earth would you even integrate such an option?
Lucky I was only prestige 2 going to 3, but it's still a pain because I don't play so often and it took me quite some time to get where I was.
