yeah, this game is definitely about objective modes, not TDM

Or if you do something more on kills only, then Kill confirmed

But control and Dom is mainly where its at, in my opinion

I agree, in theory. I find too many shitty teammates, toxic behaviours and ignored objectives in those gamemodes (and the most hackers/exploiters seem to be in modes like DOM where you score the most). This has been the case for a lot of CODs now, last chapter I played "other" gamemodes regularly was BO2, in BO3 I played TDM, KC, occasionally DOM and FFA almost all the time. BO4 is feeling the same for me now, while the specialist abilities and such encourage sticking to objective-based game modes, there's a lot of shit to encounter there that seems less present in TDM, so I'm a bit undecided yet.

If anyone on PC wants to party up my name on Battlenet is Kaospilot#21468. I'm a decent enough AR player, I like to play the objective. Just looking for some chill guys to play with, no one screaming WE'RE LOSING OMGGGG REEE please.

TDM is just too boring....

On another note, I really like the combination of chopper, Trencher, and Strike team

went to prestige 1 and permanently unlocked strike team, trencher is next

Xclusive Ace made a video, and he says that long barrel 2 literally did nothing else on his testing. Worth looking into, you might be using and not getting any added benefit

but yeah, im assuming rapid fire adds more recoil

I said stock 2 for faster strafe and mobility when aim and regular long barrel increases headshot distance to give one less kill accourding to ace. I don't think vapr has a long barrel 2 but yeah it's worthless in MP. Long barrel 1 is probably the best attachment on the vapr since it increases the headshot distance for 4 bullet kills with a headshot.

100 player duos is fucking the game up. Lag and bad hit detection. It's also too crowded now. They need to tone it back to 88 again.

So last night I was trying to get the last (longshot) challenge on the Rampart for gold Camo and couldn't help but feel like the recoil pattern had changed, even with grip.
I got it to second prestige then started using other weapons for a change and even after using stuff like the Maddox, I go back to the rampart and feel like it's changed.

Also these longshot challenges can fuck off lol

I know it's minor, but are they EVER going to fix the visuals on the VAPR so the magazine shows in the preview, on the ground and while in the lobby? Right now it only shows when being held. lol

My videos with the 70 kills or so are usually with a variation of this class

vapr, red dot, silencer, stock, fast mag

scavenger, gunho, dead silence

Hah, played a round of hipfire-Spitfire Kill Confirmed against a team of snipers. Fun and easy! A few did get a fairly ridiculous quickscope kill on me.

I wonder if they'll ever get rid of the quickscope nonsense in these games.

Not really sure on people complaining about sound in blackout. I hear footsteps and shots and can tell where they at. I'd ask are you using headphones? I tried without and it was harder to hear but with headphones it's pretty easy.

Also they may have the silent perk up and on as well. I love when I have that and you can zip around being silent.

I don't really like the blur effect when someone uses the grappling hooks though.
Yea I haven't gotten much of that either. I think maybe the difference is you seem near silent when crouching so maybe that throws people off too, but if I hear shots to the northeast and I go to the town in that direction I'll find people shooting at each other there and if I hear footsteps to my left and I turn left I'll see someone running near me, so it performs the functions I need it to.

What is everyone's thoughts on the KN-57 in regular MP? Anyone having any luck with it? I love the look and feel of it but my experience with it has been hit marker central. I was grinding to unlock rapidfire to see if that would help, but I'm struggling so hard with it that I've given up. What's your thoughts?

Haven't had many games with it but I feel it's the worst of the ARs right now. All the other AR does something better, ICR is a laser, Rampart does more damage, VARP handles better and the Maddox is better overall right now. I still take the KN over most SMGs but yea I'll do the camos and be done with it.

Had 26 kills and no deaths in FFA and got killed by a nomad dog

I just sat there in misery man, I knew that would happen - 4 kills from a nuked out - there's so many variables in Blops 4 (not even including the fact that people are probably better on average) than there was in blops 3 to make a flawless FFA game that much harder

My stats are currently about 3.10 EKIA ratio and 415 SPM

Can anyone with a higher SPM tell me what game mode(s) you're playing? I seem to get decent score from Domination but maybe I'm missing out

I love it

Needs the right items like the dual mag which turns it into an lmg

Then i add barrel and suppressor so i never get caught off guard on radar

Anyone else feel they should refund people the season pass and focus on cosmetics like Fortnite?

In my opinion, the game already costs $80 CAD and I don't mind. The overall experience is a lot of fun and well made. I also never buy season passes and DLC episodes. I think it's to bad that there seems to be issues with the have and have nots in multiplayer matches. It seems like this is an issue they could do away with while offering other fair alternatives to make money. They're already going to be charging people for skins. I can't help but feel their strategy is a bit out of date and greedy. I think there is more opportunity for them for player engagement without the season pass. However, since CoD is every year, they probably care more about the short term.

What determines if Dragons Breath on the MOSS actually takes effect and damages your opponent? I unlocked it last night and while it's amazing when it works and you can hit someone once, run, and have them die to the fire, I wasn't able to determine a pattern on when the fire would activate and when it wouldn't.

Here's what I did and Im making it into the top 10 almost every game now. Try to slow down and not engage every person you see. Let situations play out. If you see someone far away chances are someone else has seen him too. Let them fight it out. One less player for you to deal with after it's done. In the meantime, you're looting and building up your arsenal for the end of the match which you'll need all of it. Save stuff like Mesh Mines and Sensor Darts for the end.

In short, if you have to move into the circle and literally hole up waiting for the next circle, that's one strategy that works. Then once you get into the last 10 people you unleash the beast and go HAM.
I appreciate the advice. I'm doing none of these things.

I don't wanna test it because camping in a BR is boring as hell. Personally I think they should cut down this 50 merits for top 15 and reward some points for surviving. As I mentioned yesterday 1 merit for every minute. It's not much, but better than it is right now: No kill, survive 15 or 20 minutes, get killed and be #16 and get 0 merits.
That system would be far more conducive to encouraging camping than making top 15.

I just realized that there's no capture the flag in this game. So I'm assuming the esports games are SnD, Hardpoint, Control and probably Heist this time around.

Hardpoint is the best option if you want to get an higher spm.

How about merits for every mile ran!?

Interesting issue, not sure what the solution is but yeah, very slow progress so far. Sometimes you just don't see anyone until 15 minutes into a game.

The only real solution is firing range and git gud. That's how you level.

I read this on reddit but also experienced it myself:

If you kill someone that has armor with a Combat Axe, you'll one shot kill them but the armor won't take damage.

So if you have an axe and see someone with level 3 armor, take a chance ;) lol

Better than wwii, no competition

I think better than bo3, with more strategic specialist, the health, and no advance movement

But I can see bo3 taking a bit of an edge for some

Great cod all around

As a full package, it's the best COD since Advanced Warfare for me. I loved AW's campaign and graphically thought it was unbelievable. WW2 was boring overall.

Compared to WWII, better or worse?

Compared to BLOPSIII, better or worse?
Currently; worse than both, WW II improved a ton over its lifetime, the base maps weren't great but the moment to moment gameplay rivalled some of the best games in the series

Black Ops 4 has some really good maps but the netcode and matchmaking are all over the place, there's also too much bullshit to deal with, no counter for 9bangs, quasi invincible dogs, sensors that detect you through ghost, if per chance you find yourself climbing whatever it is, be it a ladder or a chest high wall, you lose your mantle.

No airstrike armor on spawn, cold blooded is useless - heat based weaponry still detects you and choppers screw you all the same. Several airships can be using the airspace at the same time, there isn't anything akin to flak towers to prevent them. Choppers always shoot flares on the first rocket strike, so you better be real accurate and fast enough to get it down because you only have 3 rockets at first.

The spawns are dreadful, and it doesn't help that the matchmaking for solo players is terribly unbalanced, 1 out of every 5th match I get matched against 3/4 party stacks and seeing as I'm already Prestige 2 I always get the lower leveled people of the lobby by my side.

The weapon balance is also shady af, ICR with both grips shoots targets at distance with no recoil whatsoever, GKS, an smg, trumps some ARS and all smgs at a distance due to its attachments.

There's plenty of room for improvement but as it is I'm very disappointed in this year's offering in terms of traditional multiplayer.

Zombies are great though

For me? Easily the best COD I've played since BO2 in terms of fun factor and total package.

Multiplayer is familiar enough to get in and play but of course, there are changes to get accustomed to, like self healing.

Blackout is addictiveeeeeee. Has that "one more try.." feeling. It does test your patience, though. There's nothing like those last few moments, with less than 10 people left, where your heart beats, your hands are shaking. It's tense and I love it. The only other BR game I've really put time into and PUBG and it gave me the same feeling, but if we talk about performance, Blackout is much better (even though there has been lag on both Duo's and Quads).

Zombies...I've never really been a fan of it. The last time I really put time into it was World at War but man, this year they really blew me away. First time stepping into it, I was overwhelmed. There are prestiges, tutorials, difficulty modes, BOTS!

Each game mode is big enough to spend 100s of hours on each. For the past few years, I've always gotten bored halfway through the year but BO4 feels like something I can play for a year straight, possibly longer depending on the updates to Blackout.

I was sold during the Multiplayer beta and fell in love during the Blackout beta. Got the season pass and will purchase any battle passes that may come out.

Of course, because it's COD, you do have a handful of things that will be annoying. Connections might not be the best at times, crashes, emblem and theater not to best, etc. Personally, I've come to accept these things but when it comes down to it, this is my multiplayer game for the next year.

Looking forward to all the events coming. Halloween should be the first major one.

I do want some more customization options to go after. Whether it be more calling cards, emblems, outfits, just put it all in there, lol.
