Yeah, sometimes this game feels kind of broken. I just did a round TDM, we won it, close game... something like 75 - 68 and I had a 4.2 k/d. One match later, same lobby, just 2 people quit the lobby, the rest were the same: I quit at 19 - 52 and a 0.8 k/d. I really don't know whats wrong with me or with this game.

Same experience for me. Hitmarkers seem to also be hit or miss (lol)... sometimes I am clearly off and shots don't register but I still get hitmarkers. Or maybe that is because the previous hitmarker (from a bullet that did hit) stays too long on screen? Also a shot that is clearly not a head shot gets registered as one. I don't know, you can't really trust what you are seeing in this game. It's really weird.

It's funny how anal BF players are when it comes to hit registration and most CoD players are just "yeah well that is how it is in CoD".

Yeah, sometimes it feels like I'm pumping a whole mag into the enemy but only like 2 shots register, he also doesn't care, turns around and I am immediately dead. But when I'm in rounds like this I quit and search for a new lobby. Luckily the search for a new lobby is very quick. Most times the game is too much fun to get mad because of some bad lobbies, even if there are some days I want to punch straight into my monitor, lol.

Today I learned the sensor dart can show you where zombies are. Instead of a red dot, it'll be a white dot.

Bowie Knife continues to be fun as hell!

Fyi, you can open a door, climb on it, and use it to get on roofs and whatnot. Depending on the building, it might be a good hiding spot as well. I'll take a gif to show what I mean.

I've also discovered how fun it is to jump out of a helicopter, land right next to people, and kill them. Need to do this more often.

I've been out of the COD loop for a while. I got the game without the season pass. when the new maps drop, how does it work for non-season pass owners?
Click to expand...
Click to shrink...
In the past, they've had new maps in a separate playlist for a week and then added them to the regular playlists.

When the DLC gets added to regular rotation you will be mostly separated from season pass owners, although if a season pass owner can't match up with enough other season pass owners in an unpopular playlist they may be dropped down to a non-DLC lobby and you get to see them. If you go into a party with a season pass owner, you will be playing in non-DLC lobbies and your friend will not get to play the new maps.

Crash and Comsec are just great if you manage to get some kills and the teammates use the assault pack. Just had my best game of the weekend so far:

Anyone have any idea how these daily tier rewards work? I haven't played much of this game but the last couple of nights I played enough to seemingly unlock some legendary skins. Problem is, I don't know of any way to access them. Help?

My quad was up against a 3 stack out near turbine. We were the Last 7 people in the match. One of the dudes in the enemy team jumped in a chopper and flew past us and jumped out letting the chopper crash into the ground. We knew he was in back of us but he was pretty far out so we didn't bother going after him. Big mistake. This 3 stack essentially triangulated on our position and pushed us at the same time. We all got mowed down.

That combo used to be ridiculous when the game came out. They nerfed kills streak kill points and crashes ammo pick up points since launch.

It still works really well. The ammo pick ups are quick and easy points and the 200 HP buff is fast earned. At least for me it's the easiest to get the killstreaks. I tried it with the other operators too, but none came close to Crash.

Have you unlocked the actual skins or just the facepaint? If it is just the facepaint you have to unlock the matching skin before you can wear it.

This makes me feel somewhat better when I see the one of the best console Blackout players get insta-killed in Solos, just like me. What's crazy in this video is that he has a horrible few games in solo and then does an "experiment" where he plays completely solo against Duos. He ends up getting to #2 and wins his second match where it's only him against duo teams. Incredibly enjoyable to watch this guy play the game. It's fucking inspiring man.

Here's my video of me going a little wild with the knife in Blackout. I made the video for my friends so excuse the slo-mo. My friend had requested an extended mag so I brought him that and laid it on his body if you're wondering why that part is in there. Still the knife did some good work. I've hit 12 kills in several games. 13 in like two and the most is a 19 kill game in a duo. I have that one recorded as well but it's not as cool as knifing people. I basically arrived at the flank of a huge fire fight with a silenced KN and just wiped the floor with everyone. Nobody except one or two really noticed me shooting even though I was so close. It was pretty funny, I'll have to make an edit. There's a lot of fat to trim in a Blackout video hahaha.

Got the knife done. Wasn't even bad. I just played chaos hard point and went on the flank a lot.

3 SMG's left. Almost done the cordite, so basically 2.5 guns left.

Call of Duty did a Blackout stream with Neymar (you know that footballer who's excellent at rolling around), and while doing a little promo video for it he showed a never before seen posted of Hijacked, a map from Black Ops 2. Could be an addition coming to the Blackout map https://charlieintel.com/2018/12/03/breaking-neymar-jr-teases-the-return-of-hijacked-in-blackout/
The next patch is also already in testing and will bring a lot of new content

They said there's a big patch next week, so I guess that's when we can expect it.

All 4 might be played by famous actors, Treyarch tends to do 1 map a game with a cast consisting of 4 more mainstream actors. Black Ops had Call of the Dead (Sarah Michelle Gellar, Robert Englund, Danny Trejo, Michael Rooker and George A. Romero), Black Ops 2 had Mob of the Dead (Ray Liotta, Michael Madsen, Joe Pantoliano and Chazz Palminteri) and Black Ops 3 had Shadows of Evil (Neal McDonough, Ron Perlman, Heather Graham and Jeff Goldblum)

Right on with Kiefer but that's clearly Lucy Lawless of Zena and Battlestar Galactica fame.

You've also got Charles Dance, who most recently known for Tywin Lannister in Game of Thrones.

And finally, the more I look at that final image the more I'm convinced it's Brian Blessed, which honestly would be incredible.

Noticed the same thing. Was in fucking Top 10 trying to quick loot an enemy I had just killed and since I couldn't see what I was grabbing from him another dude came up and merked me.

Re: Vondahaar's tweet - I fucking love that they're just going to focus on morphing and changing this Blackout map vs making new maps. No hyperbole here, I truly think it's one of the best designed multiplayer maps I've ever seen and I've been gaming for a long ass time. It's up there with Angel City from Titanfall in terms amazing flow and overall layout. Any time I get bored with a certain drop zone I just land in new areas. Right now I'm landing near "White Barn" right near Firing Range and it's great for a good "low pressure" drop but you can turn up the heat by simply running over to Firing Range if you want to get into some fights.

Finally got all the headshot challenges done for the ARs. I only have the VAPR completely done. So now I need to decide which gun I shall pursue next and if I'll use HC or not.

Watching TeePee, Merk and Maven on Twitch is so fucking rad man. Truly inspiring watching these guys play Blackout. Even if they don't get the win they're just so fun to watch and they almost always have amazing plays in matches. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to get into Blackout or to see the true potential in Blackout.

New Specialist? Maybe he/she will have an EMP grenade to disrupt enemy equipment?

That or just a new grenade in general though the arm of the character doesn't look familiar so yeah might be a 'hacker' specialist. I knew there was talks about a new specialist soon but many assumed it would be either Reaper or Spectre which IIRC neither had any hacking/disrupting of any sort.

so there's is a big content update/change for the 11th?

also, does the first MP map pack drop this year?
Click to expand...
Click to shrink...
11th on PS4 since all new content is 7 days exclusive, as of right now we know that it includes an update to the Blackout map (most likely the addition of Hijacked near the coast) and from the looks of it a new Specialist, which was already confirmed to be coming this month before the game even launched. 4 new Zombies characters also were added with the recent patch, so that is probably close as well.
As to a first map pack: we're not sure, they might not even release map packs at all anymore, just new maps 1 by 1.

they already sold 12 MP maps to the season pass holders so I think they will still follow the old (3-4 bundle) plan. also just looked back to BO3 and they released the first pack 2 months after launch.
