Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 |OT| Late to the party
- Thread starter TheUnseenTheUnheard
- Start date
- OT
Well I made it through the level 1 - 5 wasteland, back to the fertile fields of custom classes. Went faster than I expected, thanks to the kickin' Titan + NVIR combo in one of the premade classes. Shame the game doesn't let you level up any weapon you use outside of custom classes...
All the new "x kills with y attachment" challenges are also a big help in getting extra experience.
Also I have been sleeping on Torque in Nuketown. Dude rocks there.

I was almost done with the SDM headshots but then I just said to hell with it and prestiged again. Used my unlock token on the Koshka as my next sniper to get gold. We'll return to the SDM at level 31. I'm just more comfortable with bolt-action than any of the DMR style guns.
Can someone explain to me how the snipers do 140 damage, and yet I still die in one shot to them?
I know headshots will kill you in one, but these people are not hitting me in the head, they are also not running the high cal attachments, I am perplexed.

I wasn't saying you're a camper. I was saying that in Nuketown Torque is campers wet dream :)
The game is telling me to fuck off for getting a 19.00 and a 20.00 k/d yesterday. I'm getting thrown into a lots of matches that are like 15 - 38, 27 - 54, 22 - 48 and so on.
I'm trying my luck in Blackout. If it also shows me the middle finger I'm out for today.
Nothing better than doing a great Blackout match, getting to the final 1v1, then the enemy turns on the lagswitch, uses it to practically teleport to the other side of the circle and snipe me.

I had bad luck in Blackout yesterday. I took the "land between the windmills and camp it out" approach. Mostly because I was hoping to get lucky and unlock Nomad's Numbers outfit in the process. First time I was all set up — lvl 2 armor, 2 trauma kits (1 used, 1 spare), good weapons, solid support items — and went to the transmission tower near the very edge of the map NE of Turbine/SE of Asylum, thinking I could set up shop there. I wasn't there for even 10 seconds when a quad with a sensor dart on it arrived. Dude wore level 3 armor and had a concussion grenade. You do the math.
I have the worst luck with enemy quads in general. For some reason they always manage to run me over in the middle of nowhere.
Second attempt: got sniped in the desert from at least 150 - 200 meters away.
Third attempt: made it to the final 6. Spotted a dude and try to snipe him myself. Koshka, so of course it didn't kill. Dude hides behind a rock, equips a Paladin, jumps to align his aim and jumps again to one-shot me.
At least I can somewhat reliably get into top 15s right now. Feels like I am learning the mindset of surviving in Blackout. Camping ain't pretty, but moving for no good reason just gets me killed. Once you get to top 50 - 30, the match basically becomes a big game of hide and seek.
I can't understand these fuckers. Why do you even want to win like that?

Ugh, that sounds so cheap.

Wow, skills. No seriously why is this shit still a thing
There is a patch with big changes to the loot system coming next week.
There isn't really a "lag switch". It was just either a shitty network connection or server issues. We had some issues today with lag so it was system wide...and it didn't last very long.
Finally! Probably the main reason I've yet to really get into it. Have they released any details?
Not really. If your team is aggressive, Torque is kinda worthless on Nuketown. Between constant spawn flipping and Engineer being so popular with lower level players you're just not doing enough to justify not using another specialist.
Battery on nuke town is best. Have had a ton of games where I just lob her cluster nade on the second floor and like three people die.
So, let me get this straight for a sec. Every single day I've played, I at least go positive by at least a 2.0 KDR in most matches. I go on tonight after work, and every single match I join is in progress, and my team is losing and I am barely going positive at all, never mind over a 2.0 KDR. I am also losing gunfights that I should never lose either. How does an SMG beat a Swordfish at range when I'm hitting him as well?
It's the biggest load of shit I have seen. It's this type of inconsistency that drives me away from the prior games after a couple of months. It's totally out of your hands no matter what you do.
EDIT: Literally was just thrown into a game of TDM where the enemy team was on 67 kills with an attack chopper up, mantis and a UAV all at once. While my team was on 25 kills with nothing, lol.

The endurance chaos moshpit should be a permanent game mode. In BO4 & future COD. It's just so damn fun.
It's the least they can do since demolition is probably out indefinitely

One of the biggest frustrations in this game. So many times when I unload several LMG (Titan) rounds into an opponent, only for them to turn around and casually kill me with a Maddox or SMG. My bullets registered: 4-5. Theirs: maybe 1-2.
I guess this is the general lag and 20hz refresh rate at work, as the scenes always play out a bit different in killcams (mostly the enemy seeing you earlier than you thought they did). But it just feels so unfair.
It is true he has less worth when your team is very aggressive. But I disagree with the Engineer comment. Even if razor wires and barricades don't kill, they still cut down on the routes enemies can rush you from, which makes it easier to defend a side. They also can't be destroyed easily with gunfire, since you can't afford being in the open for more than a few seconds. So unless they have two Zeros running around, Torque can be of major value.
The only specialist I think is worthless in Nuketown is, sadly, Seraph. I really think they should buff her in general, for example by having her TAC deploy emit a small, damaging forcefield or something. Also give her Annihilator a scope and two more shots. Makes no sense Prophet's Tempest has one + 4 more rounds.
There is no risk. It's the go to for any close quarter combat situations and makes a mockery of the DBNO status. The majority of the time you can't even react to a team mate getting knocked before they are punched. It's all fine and well when it's you doing the cheap finish but it's just another of the few mechanics that make Blackout at times feel like a big TDM rather than BR match with a story and memorable encounters.
I disagree. If I knock you from mid-range I must consider my options, including risking myself to finish you and put your teammate(s) at a disadvantage.
Got the Titan to max level. For some reason I still need to remind myself this weapon is actually automatic. I keep pressing R2 for each shot. I have no idea why I do it and it fucks up my K/D ratio.
Is the Oppressor mod worth it? The description isn't clear on what it does exactly, except "oppress". Yeah, I kind of got that from the name...
In any case, I am definitely keeping the FMJ I & II attachments. I love taking down UAVs and choppers so much, as well as killing people through walls.
For now back to the Swordfish, though. I used that token for nothing if I keep ignoring it like this.

Yesterday was also a horrible day for me. I also joined several matches that were already in progress. Out of 14 matches I quit 5 immediately because my team was at least 20 points behind and/or several scorestreaks were already on the map. Then I had 3 matches where I had a negative k/d, 4 matches in that I went only 1.00 or slightly above... that makes 2 out of 14 games that were satisfying and 4 out 14 matches won.
The operator mod is alright. It's makes your enemy screen shake whenever you're not hitting him but shots being very close to him. He won't be able to aim at you with a clear vision. Used to run it but not anymore
4:55
I don't think a lag switch would work this way on this kind of server. You could just shoot the enemy player while they are standing still because the server isn't receiving any of their inputs.
The last circle was in the middle of nowhere, with two obstacles: a rock and a truck next to each other on the bottom side of the circle. I was healing up on the left of the rock, while the guy ran somewhere on the right. I heard his footsteps on the right so I was ready to turn around the rock and shoot him. The game lagged for a couple seconds, I couldn't see him anymore, suddenly he's like 50 metres away on the other side of the circle without ever crossing my sight (he should have been in my view for multiple seconds, plus he couldn't have traversed all that in such a low amount of time, except maybe with the grappling hook which did not happen on my screen). I see him in the last moment, but he takes out the sniper rifle and one shots me before I can even hit him. No lag the entire match, no issues whatsoever, and then suddenly the endgame does this? I played online games long enough to hardly believe this was coincidental. But who knows, I guess.
Are you on console? Because I was having lag issues yesterday with my squad on X1. I know you might think some one is cheating here but it's very hard to pull off cheating on console. Now, if you're on PC then it's a whole other story and it could've been a cheat.
On the X1, We had lag spikes where we were teleporting 10 feet in front of us yesterday.
Thanks! Looks decent, but not really worth the three points. I already have enough trouble choosing attachments as it is, since FMJ I & II don't leave much room for anything else.
Looked through some of that guy's other videos and he definitely sold me on the Hades, btw. That operator mod looks like a ton of fun.
Whattt? GKS has been great for me as a pseudo SMG/AR gun. Decent fire-rate, incredibly accurate and great range for an SMG.
The Koshka is very fun but I need that high caliber for consistent kills. I was playing on nuketown and just doming folks. I could hear this one Nomad, every time I killed him the rage got more and more intense.
I also got a mega kill with the dual saugs though I didn't get a single quad feed. I'm up to 6/10 for the challenge.
For the Killer I need 4 Quad Feeds and 1 Collateral. For Precision I need like 25 more OSOK headshots. Pretty easy since I'm getting going for diamond snipers right now. I also need one more multitasker for the Basic Training one. I almost have a nice selection of animated calling cards to choose from.
I can attest to its effectiveness. I was sniping on nuketown and this titan guy would just rock my entire world, couldn't shoot shit even though he was missing all the time.

I would love to see a MP mode without specialists. Just make them skins like in Blackout.
I can see it working better on smaller maps like Nuketown and Summit. I could set aside a custom class for an oppressor loadout just for these maps, to try it out, and run the FMJ setup everywhere else.
An update on the upcoming patch and what we can expect int he further future https://www.reddit.com/r/Blackops4/comments/aezyr2/jan_11_update_a_preview_of_next_weeks_111_update/
how do the new maps work when you have the season pass but your friends don't?
splitting the playerbase seems like a dumb idea

You simply wont be able to play your DLC maps while in a party with friends.
And yeah, every player and every publisher on the face of the planet except for Activision seems to that splitting the playerbase is fucking stupid, holy hell even god damn EA has made DLC maps free.
That's insane!OMGGGGG 154 kills!!! New personal record!
Uploading a 2 part video!
The new looting system will be a game changer, especially for end game looting where you're just looking for health or something specific off an enemy and you have to get it fast. Can't wait for this.
Installed Black Ops 4. Spawns and matchmaking are still absolute trash I see.
About what I expected from a Treyarch game really.

Agree. I get hung up in the scroll bar all the time. And if two people in that stash it's a nightmare.
Yeah, but I hate battle royal games. :/
Also woo. They added Nuketown since I last played. Like that was ever a good map. Can't wait to leave the second I get shoved on to that trash.
