Wow. One year later and there will be no more cosmetics? They're not even doing drops? Interesting
Just tried the Battle Royale mode in Call Of Duty Mobile, and holy cow it's so much better than Blackout it's not even funny :\ I mean, obviously Blackout is the more polished experience, it has better graphics, better feel and gunplay and all, but there's so many great ideas and functionality is so much better if you consider the platform's limitations. Equipping stuff is a lot quicker, you can use TPS and FPS mode like in PUBG, classes offer more variety to the gameplay loop, it has squad drops like in Apex, it's a lot easier to grasp what item is what as a newcomer, and so on. There's a lot the mainline games could learn from this game's BR mode, too bad they probably won't.
Third Person is all the reason for me to not even give BR in Mobile a try, fucking hate it when people can peek around cover due to being in third person. If someone sees me I should be able to see them.
I came back to this game after a long break, and I never really paid attention to the Black Market/loot box stuff, but are the guns earned in loot boxes more powerful than the default guns? If so, how much more powerful are they? I read something in another topic alluding to this, and I've been getting frustrated watching kill cams where I get their health down to 40-30 tons of times, but they just mow me down so quickly and easily in comparison. Do I just need to "git gud", or is everyone using a certain set of loot box guns, and the multiplayer is broken in this case? I'm sorry if this is a dumb question.
Personally I think the weapons in the cases are way better than the standard guns. Some are reskins of regular guns (SWAT RFT but then you have some ridiculously OP stuff like the VMP)
It's a main reason why I stopped playing Black Ops 4. Too many DLC guns and other crap locked behind reserves and poor balancing.

Heavy Metal Heroes is back in the rotation...hell yeah.
I have to admit playing normal quads, or duos feels too slow after playing a ton of HMH.
HMH felt and feels like a breeze of fresh air and I sincerely hope that it will stay as a permanent mode.

Chances of this happening is probably 0%, but it would be great if they could add cross-play so they can support more modes simultaneously.
Nope
COD BLOPS 4 is over - long live the Modern Warfare King.
Played the last rounds (for quite a while I guess) of Blackout with my friends two days ago.
Almost all of are switching over to Modern Warfare now.
Let's see if that BR itch will pull us back for a few round of Blackout from time to time.
I gotta admit we had an awesome time with BLOPS4, but we are not the typical COD players.

I think a lot of people will look back at BO4, remembering how many things we took for granted in this decade of Call Of Duty, stuff that Modern Warfare cancelled entirely.
Big new update coming November 5th: https://www.reddit.com/r/Blackops4/...er_29th_update_infected_final_stand_pandemic/
A new weapon and you can earn it, thank fuck for that!
I play Black Ops 3 a lot and was wondering whether this one was worth getting into? I don't like Battle Royale so if that's what most of the game is focused on, then I'll skip it. I'm just worried about longevity and hoping it can last me many years seeing as how I am not feeling the new Modern Warfare.
If you're still playing BO3 a lot I suggest just keep playing it unless you LOVE Specialists or hate the advanced movement. BO4 is honestly just BO3 with Specialists on crack and without the advanced movement.
Ah, then hopefully Black Ops 3 continues to retain a population. lol Next year's COD is supposed to be what, another WW2 game or from the same developers?
Cold war Black Ops from Treyarch with Sledgehammer and Raven supporting.
No more third iteration of COD games?
If we could somehow go back to Black Ops 1, that'd be fantastic.
Sledgehammer and Raven were co-developing CoD 2020 but fucked up, so Activision brought Treyarch in and demoted Sledgehammer and Raven to support studios on the game.
Hmm alrighty. Here's to hoping I hold off for one year and don't get Modern Warfare and that this Black Ops project reignites my interest lol
Same. And yeah, we get a Black Ops game next, but best keep exectations low: Treyarch's gotta save a failed Sledgehammer project in about 18 months, repurposing the work they have into a Black Ops experience. I'd be surprised if they took the basics wrong, but there's solid chances of the game having limited content, a messy launch, and generally feeling very unfocused. One praise I can give to Modern Warfare is that it is consistent all around, BO4 seemed a lot more experimental in that sense with Treyarch clearly changing some philosophies last second (the wallrun was obviously removed at a late stage, it's very visible in maps and even some minimaps that it's something that was in at one point). Still, a half-broken Treyarch game will probably feel better than MW multiplayer does right now :\ I am still in disbelief that they just threw out every positive evolution they, Treyarch, Sledgehammer, Raven, etc. brought to the table in the past 12 years, going back to the ass spawns, the bad maps, the claymore spam, the insanely low TTK and so on, ignoring great changes like pointstreaks, Pick 10, theater mode, perk balancing (eg. Ghost not working if you camp), etc..
So I guess Treyarch will actually continue supporting the game?
Yeah, although it obviously not gonna be as much as BO4. I wouldn't expect anymore brand new maps, Blackout map updates, Blackout characters. Probs will just be new guns and customization options when it comes to actual new content.
I just hope that the new "seasons" don't have daily login bullshittery since the game is now "outdated". Just have fixed XP levels or something and no time limits, allow people to play from time to time as a pleasure thing as opposed to being forced to grind to unlock it all. Not a lot of people are gonna grind for an "old" Call Of Duty.
Well, if anyone here is still playing the game I hoped you've saved up those Reserve Cases :p
Update is live on PS4
Edit: update also added over 280 new Black Market items https://www.reddit.com/r/Blackops4/comments/ds4hn2/black_ops_4_125_update_permanent_nuketown/

I was saying, that all sounds great and all, then I read the part about them rotating the weeks with Blackout: some weeks won't have solos, others won't have duos, others won't have quads. That sounds like a horrible idea, and while I don't play much Blackout, Solo is basically all I care about so not being able to play it when I want sounds like a bad time.
So with the updated Black Market system coming soon which will allow you to earn a DLC weapon for 50 Cases I thought I'd make a very quick overview on how fast you earn Cases
Contracts: Multiplayer, Blackout, and Zombies all give players 6 Contracts which refresh every 24 hours. Not all give Cases however, but some do. To give somewhat of an indication of how many Cases you could earn every day via Contracts, here are my Contracts which give Cases for today:

Yeah, it's absolutely not bad. I played a bit these days, multiplayer only, and I probably got like 15 crates or so, simply by completing very easy challenges. Seems like a solid system.
Been playing FFA for most of the night, and the game keeps putting me into this hellish lobby where half the players are legit hacking. Everytime I run the search for FFA I always end up here. People legit turning invisible, not getting damaged, getting melee kills from like 10 meters. Hilarious, but also rather sad for the players involved. Imagine needing validation so hard in your life that you cheat in a "pointless" videogame.
I'd lower your expectations a lot, its shaping up to be a disaster atm.
Just give me a BO1 or BO2 style Cold War game and I'm good.
its just rumors, calling it a disaster is a bit too much lol
they used to give us good games back when cod was on 2 years only. Just give us BO gameplay, with no specialists and we are golden
It's probably gonna be better balanced than MW2019 though.
You say that but stuff like the Stingray was far worse than the 725 or the M4
Single weapons isn't even the biggest issue. It's the map design, the TTK, the perks, the abilities, the movements, the visibility, the streaks... it all was designed with a questionable balance as a design choice, and the results are that it's pretty unsatisfying most of the times - for me, anyway. I can't imagine Treyarch doing worse than that. At least they know how to balance maps (uncreative at worst, but almost always balanced), how to handle classes, pointstreaks, Ghost, etc..
The 50 Case bribe which lets you pick a gun of your choice also comes with 5 Duplicate Protected Crates (3 duplicate protected items, so a total of 15 new items) which normally would cost 30 Cases.
SONOFABITCH
This player got so lucky they could buy the brand new gun which was added a week ago for 2 Cases lmao

That's cool. At least guns are available to us in more ways than just the bribe now. That guy was insanely lucky. Here's hoping I get one down the line.
Giving this more of a shot now that they've made DLC weapons slightly fair to get (though only one a month is BS). Got my first and only victory in blackout on my first game back. Still haven't breached the top 10 since then. Too much sound fuckery and bad luck. I do wish you could just load into a new game instead of going back to the main menu every time. Seems like a huge waste of loading.
Also, did they lower health/increase damage in blackout at some point? Feels more see-first-die-first than ever, which leads to some frustratingly random encounters. Maybe it's just connection...
Edit: woop woop, won my second blackout. Had to parkour around a madman trying to run me down in a convertible.
Edit edit: Oh god why did they bring the VMP back? This motherfucker of gun nearly ruined Black Ops 3 for me, and it's everywhere here as well.
