Hades Crossbar nerf on PC is all I wanted. The Maddox and Saug nerfs are cherries on top. I do wish Prophet's Tempest got hit with ammo reduction.

I really don't understand who the fuck asked to have the tdm score increased. A quarter of my games just end up in the time running out and I get stuck with garbage ass players for longer. Had a game earlier where I went 49-8 on nuketown and we won by only 1 kill and probably the only reason we did is because somebody who was awful dropped from my team near the end and we got someone better.

Hopefully people in League Play will actually play the objective, it's actually pathetic how many people play objective based modes just to completely ignore the actual objective

That moment when a newly unlocked reserves item takes a bit longer to load, you see a small yellow/gold border around it, you hold your breath and... it's a shark tag.

Edit: first time I have seen someone teamkill three people in short succession at the start of the match (plus two ricochet/selfkills at the very start), get kicked, and actually being able rejoin the match a few minutes later... only to continue teamkilling people.

Oddly, he stopped at 2 teamkills the second time around and ended the match with 0/4 k/d.

Gotta go for that high KDR.

League play will be a shit show, losing heavily your team will quit and you'll be left with 2 people vs a full team.

Have been running some decent matches tonight. From my last 12 games, my best K/Ds were:

Morocco: 23/10
Nuketown: 26/12
Jungle: 23/7
Slums: 22/9
Contraband: 24/5

The rest was either just decent or slightly below average.

Almost every gun is at least level 10 now, if not maxed out. Exceptions are the SDM, Koshka and VKM. I see no reason to touch the former two, and the latter just doesn't work for me at all for some reason, despite liking the Titan and Hades. It feels so overly bulky.

Hey all I got a question regarding blackout mode. When I move the camera left n right when having a gun or I finish landing . There is this sense of floaty ness when I move the camera around ? Like I move it and then after I stop it continues ? When ADSing it's all fine but turning to close a door or moving to pick up an item becomes a bit of a problem . Is this common problems everyone has ? I can't seen to narrow it down with sensivity option (which is at 9)
Any help on this matter would be great please

Trailer!

Outrider confirmed, including her Sparrow coming to Blackout. Also some new characters for Blackout (I'm seeing the Cosmic Silverback, Brutus and Misty). Also looks like a teaser for Alcatraz coming to Blackout at the end.

When it comes to Blackout skins there seem to be 5 in the trailer (6 if you wanna count Outrider):
  1. Generic male Zombie
  2. Generic female Zombie
  3. Brutus
  4. Misty
  5. Cosmic Silverback (Black Ops Pass exclusive I guess)

Excited for Outrider, I already hate that bunny helmet and I honestly don't care much for the rest. But hey, new content and the game is still fun, so I am not complaining anyway.

I do wonder what that barebones mode is for MP. Has that been in previous games? If it is going to be a pure gunplay mode, no scorestreaks and/or specialist equipment, then I am all for it.

Blog post says a new Blackout character (single, not multiple) will be part of the Contraband stream. Looks like all the cool new characters are gonna be paywalled ffs

I actually managed to get a cool outfit from the reserves:

Torque's "King" outfit. I was hoping for Seraph's rare outfit, but it was apparently only added to the reserves last Tuesday. Since I regularly use Torque as well, this is a nice consolation.

Not surprising. All those camos will be paywalled as well, probably, and the guns will be deep in the contraband stream. Free, but you won't be using them soon with just casual play.

New Reserve items include playable zombie Blackout characters, Vacation Hudson sporting a Hawaiian shirt and tie, Mastercrafts for the KN-57 and Outlaw, and much more. Items from Reserves in past Operations will be available in Blackjack's Reserves, including the Mozu Replicant and SG12 Boombox Mastercrafts. Additionally, Cases containing Blackjack Reserves can be earned by playing Multiplayer or Blackout, or they can be acquired in the Black Market.
Putting new Blackout Characters in reserves, fucking lmao.

We won't be seeing a lot of those running around, then. Jesus.

What is the difference between regular Reserves and Blackjack's Reserves, anyway? Or are the latter a new feature?

I kind of wish they would just put outfits and shit up for regular sale. I would have no problem with the occasional few bucks for a cool outfit as opposed to grinding the reserves for free.

If I understand it correctly Blackjack's Reserve is a new feature. Contains all items from Reserves from previous Operations. Can be earned someway or can be purchased

Guess I'd better not expect too much from it. But if past items can be obtained for free whilst progressing through the current contraband stream, it is still an improvement because at least you won't have to complete 100 tiers to get access to them again.

Ghost Town looks fantastic, honestly the diversity in buildings and structures in Blackout is probably one of its strongest aspects... with the quick and clever UI design being a close second.

Changes to LMG's as anti-vehicle weapons sounds interesting, will have to wait and see how versatile/strong they will be and if they will make the Rocket Launcher a bit redundant?

Hmm, so it is still fall in Blackout? I would swear the map looks different in terms of colors, but maybe that is just me.

Good to see L1 and L2 armor getting buffed, but L3 not getting touched. L1 especially was worthless after the previous nerf. I think it is very fair to have L2 to be on par with L3, the latter simply having that additional head protection.

Still sad to see my favorite cold drop spot in the desert be removed, haha. Though it definitely made the most sense to put Ghost Town there.

All this looks rather unique and weird. It's cool they are trying something completely different, but I'm not sure it'll be that much fun. Time will tell. The multiplayer maps look interesting, but sad to see only 2 maps again.

Glad to see Multiplayer finally getting some good content. Buried in Blackout is an amazing idea and the way it's implemented looks dope.

Sad I won't be able to play the new MP maps. I just can't justify paying for the Black Ops Pass.

I haven't experienced or heard of anything like that.

If this is on console, it might be a deadzone issue.

Can't find a single game since the update. Restarted the game and PlayStation few times but it's just searching and searching. Anyone else?

So do we know what the new stream is gonna look like. I take it like the last one Outrider will be the first one to be unlocked. Outrider was my main in BO3 but it was always vision pulse and never the bow but I will try her out again.

PS4. Restarted several times. Network Settings are still the same as before.

Hm... Trying to see if I can find others with the same issue. Might be wide spread.

Trying to find screenshots but we do know Outrider is level 1 of the Contraband like Zero.
