If it weren't for Barebones I would have uninstalled the game, Specialists just ruin the game and it's actually mind blowing how little thought Treyarch put into some of these weapons and abilities. Take Torque's Barricade for example, how the fuck did this shit ever make it through playtesting? You have people just locking down flags in Domination with this shit, not to mention it's a camper's wet dream to lock down a doorway. Camping on the 1st floor of one of Nuketown's 2 houses? Just put that bitch down and you don't have to worry about someone walking up to you anymore, it's fucking laughable. Someone seriously has to explain to me how this shit didn't get cut, because right now I can only think of 2 options: playtesters recognized it was a load of shit, told Treyarch to cut it and Treyarch ignored them, or the average playtester at Treyarch is completely braindead and should honestly be fired.
Black Ops 4's Multiplayer is Treyarch's worst ever MP by a fucking mile, they completely shit the bed.

UAVs have been overpowered since Call of Duty 4, and with MW2, we finally got a counter that doesn't eat up a valuable perk slot... and people never use it.

I rake in tons of extra points (especially for my own streaks) because I have an RPG on every loadout that doesn't exclusively run a secondary weapon (Underkill is unlocked too late to be useful). Run launchers, folks.

love how the official twitter account seems to completely abandon Black ops4 when the new game is about to be announced.

I think it's tough to have lethal killstreaks and lethal specialist weapons. Turns it into a cluster. Not that I didn't dominate in that cluster but still. I also kind of prefer custom soldiers over the specialists. I wanna make my own person.

As for battle royale, I'd like to see non-lethal killstreaks added. Maybe a care package of loot or counter-uav. UAV of course would be super powerful. Sensor darts are already OP as hell. As someone who regularly gets a lot of kills it would be nice lol.

Love going into TDMs and dropping 50. The feel of trying hard enough to get half the kills for your team lol.

I've been sleeping on outrider. Her drone is clutch. Nobody even shoots it out of the sky.

It's legitimately one of the most powerful pieces of equipment in the game right now. Most folks just park it a few meters up, but you can take the Hawk really high up. Run it with Equipment Charge and you can have eyes in the sky every 90 seconds or so.

Yup I've been doing exactly that. Put it in the sky over a choke point and it tag for me. I like her bow. It feels like Seraphs one shot that can kill up to 2-3 people at chokes. All those private lobbies with Hanzo are paying off lol.

Why bring back Perkaholic? BO4 is easy enough without even using the "get 4 bonus perks" elixir. We don't need all of them.

Days of Summer is launching tomorrow on PS4. Brings new weapons, CTF, 50v50 with a gun-mounted helicopter in Blackout and the Gauntlet for the latest Zombies map.

Holy shit I just wiped a squad by myself with a strife and then died 1v1 to the last guy for second place. I want to die lol. I went for the melee hit to end it and he got me.................................................my hands are still shaking lol. You'd think after 100s of wins and thousands of kills it would be less thrilling but I dunno. Battle Royale is fuckin fun. I got 10 kills and 1900 damage with a Strife and Paladin combo.

Wiped that whole damn squad with a Strife lol. No grenades or perks. Just shit on them lol.

I have played the game at release up until the Absolute Zero-Operation. I haven`t played it since then, so I haven`t unlocked the Zero-specialst. If I come back now, will Zero be automatically unlocked for me or forever gone?

Wow, I love grind!

This will give me the impetus to play the game again, for five minutes then realise why I stopped playing.

And just when you think the game isn't filled enough with microtransactions already, Treyarch announces that some new weapons are locked behind Reserves. Fuck. Off.

Man...stop doing that. It's the main reason I stopped playing BLOPS3 and 4. I want to try out new guns. Don't put 'em behind a paywall...

Played 3 matches of Ground War Blackout and yup, 0 team balancing. 2 matches ended with my team having more than 30 players alive and the 3rd matched ended with like 45 teammates alive.

So, there are 50 tiers for the new season, and most of them are stickers and gestures. Not one good gun camo, and the pirate outfit is the only one that's decent. And the weapon unlock is at 50. Why am I trying to grind through the tiers again?

I genuinely thought BO4 couldn't get any worse, and then this update comes out and somehow manages exactly that.

At least I still have Destiny 2, which started off pretty rough and continues to get better every month.

The respawning game modes in Blackout always suck because like 10 people actually die die until the final circle. Their second pass at these game modes have been pretty good. The changes they made to the shotty-snipes were awesome. All they had to do was remove vehicles. For it to work they'd actually have to redesign the map so that the two teams flow into each other like any other normal MP map or a Battlefield map.

Fortnite realized ages ago that 50v50 is boring as hell, since the final survivors on the losing team will simply wait it out until they inevitably lose.

It's amazing how hard Treyarch dropped the ball on Ground War. Should've focused on 20v20 with multiplayer loadouts supported instead. Would've been far more fun. First to 100 kills, or CTF, or domination, or something.

One of the things that pisses me off most about the theme content streams is just how halfass the theme is done.
Oh here is a bunch of pirate emblems and a single character pirate skin,
here is one random character in a tactical wetsuit
Outrider, just a desert camo.

I'd honestly be happy if all wetsuit skins where in the pass and pirates were a purchase(or reversed)

To be fair, when you think about who the hell is even supposed to develop a MW update and then continue updating Blackout. Infinity Ward is probably all hands on deck for Modern Warfare and we know Treyarch is working on a new Black Ops for 2020 together with Sledgehammer and Raven. That's all main studios accounted for.

Need to stop my Dark Matter grind as I'm getting destroyed rocking a tactical rifle. Dual wield Saugs be calling me.

The idea of DLC weapons locked behind season passes is kinda dumb. I missed out on a few and these people are melting me with them.

Heist is being destroyed by a pair of glitches: one lets you fire off an airstrike before the round starts, wiping out the other team if they spawn outside, and the other lets you move before the round starts so they can gun you down immediately.

The 14 second mark of this video shows it.
