You know, it's getting really damn annoying to have to turn off HDR every single time I because of how awful the implementation is. Everything is washed out. Treyarch is never going to fix it but man, it's gotten on my nerves.
I finally adjusted my tv perfectly for HDR in Black Ops and then they added Hacienda Twilight, even with the brightness in Black Ops set to 100% that map is pure black outside of the fire, glowsticks and skybox.You know, it's getting really damn annoying to have to turn off HDR every single time I because of how awful the implementation is. Everything is washed out. Treyarch is never going to fix it but man, it's gotten on my nerves.
After about 2500 blackout matches and 559 wins I think I'm about done. Treyarch doesn't really understand what made blackout good.
Haha no shit. My biggest problem is how many one shot kill weapons there are now. Vendetta, sparrow, war machine, etc. All those weapons pretty much guarantee a few kills.I thought what made Blackout good was equipment spam. We were all asking for an auto-turret to be added.
I wanna get back into this, but why the fuck is this 136 gigs?
The PS4 really has a lot of downloading/installing related issues Sony has never fixed, it sucks.The best thing is when it tells you to free up 50 GBs when you have over a hundred free then it does a 12 GB download.
My favorite is coming home from work after working a 10+ hour day and having to download it, install it and then have my PS4 copy it for over an hour. And then losing my chance to play for another week or so. Good times.
(I forget to put my PS4 in rest mode all the time cause I normally don't even pay attention to when a patch is dropping).
Technically this is better. Treyarch and Activision are trash.All the new weapons are locked behind reserves. The tier stream gives you a MasterCraft Koshka at Tier 20 and an Ultra Weapon Bribe at Tier 40.
Fucking hell, it gets worse every time.

You don't need to play more. When it was 100 tiers we had 70 days, when we had 50 tiers it was 35 days and with 40 tiers it's 28 days. It's always 1 week for 10 tiers.Also so we had 200 tiers that was then shrunk down to 100 tiers (good call)... that was then shrunk down to two shorter seasons of 50 tiers now down to 40 tiers... Do we have less this season then before? When we had 100 it felt like we had ample time, but with the shorter season you need to play way more.
Who wants to bet that the Argus will be the best shotgun in the game? The best SMG in the game is DLC (although it was actually unlockable via the Contraband Stream) and arguably the best AR (Peacekeepers) is DLC as well.
Siege is justified over this shit:This is one of those "under the radar" type moves I have seen other games notably R6S pull. Like when Congress/Senate takes up this Loot Box thing they will never know the intricacies that go into this planning of buffing DLC, then nerfing it after they have achieved max penetration on DLC/In Game Currency purchases, etc..
I fell off Siege around the 4K patch update, but they notoriously would make the newest DLC operators OP AF! Then closer to the next upcoming batch of DLC characters "would listen to the communities concern", and nerf Capitao and take away his frags, or reduce Valkerie's cameras, and so on.
The above is no different then making the Peacekeeper OP AF and make us gamers thirsty for it so that we can have the best equipment on the battlefield. It's is a very skeezy move by multiple developers that seems to go unnoticed by many players and media who cover said games.
They all figured out after the BF2 debacle to hold back all DLC purchases/in game currrency until a month + after release to avoid all bad press and word of mouth, and to ensure they got the bulk of their $ before the pillage of our wallets takes place. If they were doing this at launch it would be BF2 2.0 and then some! But instead everyone has moved on and it isn't a "big deal".
Siege is justified over this shit:
-Siege has free maps
-Siege allows a fair way to unlock characters
-Siege is a team based game where every character has a decent counter. Blackbeard and Ela are exceptions, but doesn't hurt the overall design
COD is a straight up cash grab. Paid maps. DLC weapons locked behind timed grinds. Awful balance. It's unreal how no one calls this game out.
You don't even need those examples. The Stingray alone proves the devs have no problem making the reserve weapons OP af.Who wants to bet that the Argus will be the best shotgun in the game? The best SMG in the game is DLC (although it was actually unlockable via the Contraband Stream) and arguably the best AR (Peacekeepers) is DLC as well.
Also, still no sign of Alpha Omega in Europe so that's fun.
I rarely see any big news outlet cover stories like this. COD has gotten away with the worst practices for too long, yet theyre consistently the top sellers and sneak in anticonsumer shit post-reviews/launch.I plan on calling them out by not giving them my money in November....

No Treyarch actually is pretty stupid when it comes to Black Ops 4 MTX.The devs aren't stupid and they know what they are doing to get us to spend extra $. COD is doing exact same shit with making "new" loot box earned weapons be OP, "for now" until 2 months from now when everyone has unlocked a Peacekeeper and the make it generic like the ICR.
Bold of you to assume Activision won't do the same thing for mwNo Treyarch actually is pretty stupid when it comes to Black Ops 4 MTX.
I probably spent $300 on Black Ops 3 in addition to getting all the maps and buying the game.
There is stuff for Black Ops 4 that i'd gladly spend money on trying to get.(hell David Mason or Karma from Black Ops 2 i'd buy straight up for $25 each)
however with 4 im not putting any money into the loot boxes because its straight theft.
the duplicate bullshit in this game is complete theft, you can literally spend that $300 and get only $100 in items.
at least in Black Ops 3 duplicates gave supply drop currency, and in WW2 & MWR you got currency to directly purchase exactly what you want.
this system is so bad it alone will probably stop me from buying and getting excited for Black Ops 5, probably just stick to Modern Warfare an extra year.
I am assuming Modern Warfare plays good at the very least.Bold of you to assume Activision won't do the same thing for mw
I was fine with the systems on their own mostly,
Yeah people are kidding themselves if they think mtx are going to be better in MW. If anything, it's probably going to be much worse, because of all the stuff they are adding for "free."
Leak via the Xbox One version of the game: pre-order Modern Warfare digitally and get Cpt. Price for Blackout
The skin isn't actually live yet.
Great point in regards to no more Map DLC = MORE MTX. Also the worst thing to happen imo for COD players is the Bungie split. Activision has shareholders to answer to and needs to show at minimum equal revenue from the prior year. COD MUST carry that burden to a much, much, much more larger degree than ever! So if you aren't monetizing a season pass/map pack revenue any longer where does that money come from??????
Unfortunately we all know that answer
Dark maps are dumb. Always laugh when people want that to return to fortnite
I don't know what is up with Treyarch's kickfor maps you can't see shit on in Black Ops 4.This twilight hacienda might be the dumbest shit ever. Everybody running around with their heads cut off in dark hallways. Fun.
Don't do the "nobody wants this" thing. Folks were asking on the forums and subreddit for night maps, and they got them. I quite like Hacienda Twilight and Firing Range Night.I don't know what is up with Treyarch's kickfor maps you can't see shit on in Black Ops 4.
Firing Range Night
Arsenal Sandstorm
Hacienda Twilight
that new night map
Blackout being dark now
Blackout Quads Fog
Alcatraz being night
Nobody wants this.
