Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 |OT| Late to the party
- Thread starter TheUnseenTheUnheard
- Start date
Damn, the MOG is a beast in HC. Throw a long barrel on it and it has surprising range as well, for a shotgun at least.
Did it ever leave? I just played it in HC TDM, on the PS4 for what it is worth.
Fuck me I totally forgot to update the game while watching the recordings of Smackdown and Flash. Now I gotta wait with this update.
The new looting is sooooo much better!
There's still that bug, though, where the bag might freeze up and won't let you pick up anything.

The lobbies in this game drive me nuts sometimes.
> Full lobby
> Map gets picked
> Five people leave
> Matchmaking finds four new people
> Timer approaches 10 seconds left
> 9...
> 8...
> 7...
> Four people leave
> Timer resets to 10
> Another ten seconds pass before matchmaking finds three new people
> Countdown begins again
> Beeping starts, almost there
> One person leaves
> Timer resets to 10.
Repeat ad infinitum.
I wish they let TDM matchs start with 4 vs. 4, or better 3 vs. 3. The remaining slots can be filled while the map loads and during the pre-match class select. People drafted in this way won't be able to immediately bug out either.

I really wish they would hasten up the pre-game portion of Blackout. When the player count is hanging at 97 for like half a minute, then it finally decides to go with that and countdown for another 30 seconds. I just want to get in more matches between the rounds where I land to find untouched rooms full of no weapons and get immediately rushed by a guy with an SG-12.
They were, but they're back in Map Pack Moshpit now.
When they put the maps in rotation, they did not separate DLC and non-DLC players at all, and even had a yellow triangle indicator next to every player that didn't have the DLC. This revealed how few players actually have the season pass. I don't know what they are going to do to fix this.
A weird minor gripe I have, but I hate how long it takes for your Snipers Nest to leave the area after finishing, to then call in the Attack Chopper.
It feels like an eternity.

Yep. Or add an autoqueue option of some sort to find a new lobby as soon as all the members of your party are dead.
This is interesting I guess I didn't notice the triangle. I'm suprised they called themselves out on that.
I cannot wait to see how chaotic it gets! The begging for supplies that is going to happen inter-squad when players respawn is going to be annoying as heck.
Start of the 4th circle and over 60 people alive lmao. Just shows you how often people get finished off without having their entire squad wiped.
Played 2 matches, and based on those I think it's shit. You'd think it's fast paced, well it's not at all, I'd say it's quite a bit slower than regular Quads for some reason. Then the 5th circle (also the last one in this mode) is just one chaotic cluster fuck with absolutely 0 tactics where you never get a second of rest because you have over 10 teams of 4 in 1 huge battle.
I much prefer the LTM with faster moving circles and close range combat weapons only.

Why the fuck am I the only one in my team who takes down UAVs when there are 3 at once in the air?
Did they make spawns worse since the patch? Also more shots are not connecting even when I'm directly on my target.
Thrown into a 16 - 38 match, quit, thrown into a 21 - 53 match, quit, thrown into a 16 - 41 match. Really, fuck this shit.

Going to try my luck with the Outlaw in HC. It never worked out for me in Core because I couldn't reliably get those one-shot kills. But that shouldn't be a problem in HC and I just love its design.
I can see teams playing a lot less aggressively, at least if they lost team members along the way, just to get back to full strength with the next circle. With the knowledge in mind that enemy teams will also be back to full strength, it doesn't exactly push teams into fast-paced, aggressive play like the previous fast collapse mode.
New mode definitely needs 2 changes ASAP:
- Way more ammo to scavenge from the ground. In the last circle the pace gets so ridiculously fast that looting becomes impossible while you often have to shoot a lot, the game basically forces you to avoid enemy engagements if you want to win
- Increased storm damage, especially near the end. The entire map was closed off yet I could regain health using bandages faster than I was losing it
Turns out the Outlaw isn't viable, even with a Reflex, without the stabilizer, which they put behind a level 12 lock. Whereas the Paladin stabilizer, in comparison, is unlocked quite early.

I think the game wants me to quit for today...
They were, but people without the season pass had a "sign of shame" on their name, turned at that about 80 - 90 % don't have the season pass, so Treyarch took them out of rotation.

What game mode are you playing?I think the game wants me to quit for today...

At this point just release all the maps free and give the season pass owners something in return.I think the game wants me to quit for today...

Why though? Mercenary Deathmatch Moshpit is available. Unless you're playing in a party.
I played mercenary once for about an hour... either I've been unlucky with matchmaking as today or it's just as sweaty as regular TDM.

Where's this from?
Sure that makes logical sense but this will never happen lol maybe they'll finally learn their lesson next year.
Sure felt like it just now. Joined two games mid-match. First match I spawned and two seconds later Nomad's dog caught me. I respawned at the same spot and got killed before I can even make it out of the "spawn square" (the garden in Hacienda) by a dude with a rocket lawnchair.
Second game I joined (Morocco) I got killed near the garage and the game actually let me spawn in that square before the big staircase while an enemy camped on the small stairs to the right, looking out over the spawn zone.
No tac deploys were in play, mind you.
And to rub it in: third game started of normal, until I got a connection interrupted a minute in. My second since the patch and my second overall. Don't know if the two are connected, but it sure feels like it.
I am honestly not sure why my connection is so seemingly slow to begin with. I have a 110 - 140 Mbps connection, wired, but in-game my bandwidth sits around 4 Mbps (2 when I get those connection interrupted errors, oddly). Or is ~4 Mbps simply the maximum the game requires?
I dunno, you can pretty easily have 200+ rounds on each weapon after a couple of minutes. You're either wasting a loooot of ammo or not looting enough if you struggle with that. Also, one huge mistake is picking 2 weapons that use same ammo.
I agree about the zone damage, but only in the beginning. When it starts chunking like 10 every second, you can outheal it, sure, but that drains all your healing really fast. And it's impossible to outheal in the final circle. Maybe not if you have the perk. The damage could be more throughout. I definitely wouldn't object. But if I made a list of issues in Blackout, that probably wouldn't make top 20.
It's not you, it's CoD netcode. Everyone thought 60 Hz was the solution, but nah, netcode is still trash. It needs to be rewritten from the ground-up.
Figured I might as well try to unlock gold for the Outlaw as I try to get it to max level (almost 12 now). Halfway through Mother of Pearl now. I somehow managed to get one bloodthirsty as well. My overall k/d is definitely taking a beating, though.
Once again, lag doesn't help. So many times when I shoot someone square in the head and it just doesn't register. It is bad enough with (semi-)automatics, but with sniper rifles it is crucial you can trust your cross hairs.

Didn't they scale it down from 60 Hz in the beta to 20 Hz in the actual release?
Was bumped up to 60hz again once the launch frenzy was over
It was allegedly a bug, the symbols were only supposed to show up in Custom Games. Got fixed quickly.
Loving the multiplayer, but god, do I hate the best play of the game at the end. I wish games let you turn that off.
Newb question. What the fuck am I doing with the reactor core skill? There is a 'hood e' meter at the bottom of the screen, but I don't get what I am doing.
By pressing and holding E your character pulls out a reactor core, which damages everyone around him in a certain radius. Note that this radius extends through walls (ceilings and floors included), objects, etc. As you are doing this, a meter appears on screen. When it turns red, the radiation starts damaging yourself as well, which is about the time you want to release E. You don't have to, but you will eventually die from the radiation.
I am not sure about the distance it covers, but it is fairly close quarters. Maybe 5 meters? I don't have lot of experience using it, so it is hard to say. You might want to jump into a custom game with a friend (or just with bots) and experiment with it. While you can move while using it, you will do so very slowly. So it is best not to use it out in the open, since anyone not affected by it can simply kill you from a distance.
The radiation counts as burn damage, by the way, which means that enemies who live through it are unable to heal themselves for about 15 seconds.
Looking at my stats I am legitimately surprised at how well I'm doing this game. In the first year or so that I played COD I played it slow, smart, a bit campy, and that would net me a 1.5 or so K/D. As I moved to a more aggressive, objective-heavy style, that slowly stabilized on 1.2-1.4, depending on the game. Besides my EKIA ratio which is obviously a lot higher than usual, I'm also rocking a satisfying (for me) 1.8+ K/D. It seems like I'm feeling this game a lot more for some reason. And especially these past few weeks there have been very few matches where I didn't go above my ratio, so I'm still rising too.
By letting everyone play on the new maps and compensating the people that bought the SP. But that would make too much sense I guess...
