Yeah watching Shroud play and he has constant lag, dissconnects and alot of bugs.Blackout currently unplayable for me.
Guess the servers are struggling a bit atm.
Im getting stutters in Blackout with a 1080ti. Although I do not have the newest drivers,Anyone else experiencing lots of stuttering?
Doesn't matter if it's multiplayer proper or Blackout, it chunks up seemingly randomly. This is on latest drivers with a 2080.
Yes, there's also bots this time around with full on match modifiers you can customize to your hearts content.
Way better then beta. Solid 60 in regular MPAny OneX impressions? Beta was bad when it comes to constant framerate
You need to be level 5, then "Create a Class" menu option unlocks. You're stuck with default loadouts until then.I couldn't figure out how to create a loadout for the normal multiplayer. How do I do that?
Ah gotcha. Thanks.You need to be level 5, then "Create a Class" menu option unlocks. You're stuck with default loadouts until then.
Unless they plan on changing things, I'm disappointed there aren't any unlocks in Blackout other than those 4 characters. I would love to see some cosmetics each time you level up.
What do you mean? There are 4 characters to unlock by just levelling, and then you have a ton of calling cards by completing specific things. Other characters are unlocked by completing specific character missions, Ajax is active and then you need to loot 3 armor shards and carry those around to a win for example.
I've only tried multiplayer and the first character of Specialists HQ (or whatever it's called). First impressions are quite strange, outside of the actual gameplay it feels like a cheap Call of Duty knock off (small details of course but even the main menu feels cheap and it's not even centered on the screen - even the menu seems to say "it should be a campaign around here on this empty space but there isn't".
So many QoL options that were on previous games and are not there anymore. I really couldn't find a way to change my loadout on the lobby, you can't see previous history of your games except on the scoreboard after you complete a match, leaderboards I simply couldn't find them, etc. Maybe you can do all the stuff like previously, but unlike previous games the UX isn't obvious and everything seems to be hidden behind 3 button presses instead of an option on the menu. Call of Duty UX was always so simple and slick and this actually feels like a UX designed by Konami.
I didn't play the beta so the actual gameplay is new to me. I'm still getting used to the health system but I like the "hero" focus on the game. Graphics wise the game disappoints, it doesn't look good but at least it runs smoothly. There doesn't seem to be a lot of gadgets or scorestreaks flying around so it feels like an even bigger step than WWII to return to basics for Call of Duty.
What I really don't understand is that they made so many changes to the Call of Duty DNA but then still stick with outdated blocking options for the new guys. Why is Create a Class locked until rank 5? Why would you ever do that? And until you hit rank 2 you only have 1 loadout available with a gun with very high recoil? Why? Seriously why? Instead of trying to welcome new people, it seems that they want to destroy them and create an even bigger challenge for them.
I understand locking some guns for the "carrot on the stick", but if you are trying to emulate other games like Overwatch and Rainbow Six, then at least pay attention to the way they try to mantain some kind of level playing field.
Doesn't seem like a big issue. You can get to level 5 in a match or two. It's annoying but nothing that ruins the experience.
