New Black Ops 4 Blackout Beta details (playercount, vehicles) via Game Informer
- Thread starter poklane
- Start date
Uh oh, dunno how I feel about this. I hope there's a mode without them.
That's not the competition for this...Fortnite is a different game...the real target is PUBG. That is where the blood is in the water.

Some locations: https://charlieintel.com/2018/09/04/gameinformer-reveals-some-of-the-locations-in-blackout/
- Estates: The rich neighborhood has a giant helipad where Little Bard can spawn. Good location if you want a shot at getting a chopper early.
- Construction Sites: The unfinished skyscraper has a ton of loot and lots of opportunities to base jump out of the high areas to safety if things get hot.
- Array
- Nuketown Island
- Firing Range
- Hydro Dam
- Asylum
- Cargo Docks
- Factory
- Fracking Tower

PUBG sold very well in 2017, when it didn't have much competition. It's a janky game that doesn't even have 1/10th the polish of the worst CoD. Without Shroud and DrDisrespect and the like still playing (and both are all over BO4) it likely would have sold very poorly this year.
With this and Fortnite, there is no room for PUBG.

This guy on Twitter is posting quite some info and screenshots from Game Informer's digital issue: https://twitter.com/Saoud67691226/with_replies
Again, just shows how little you know about PUBG tbh. 400 million players is not something CoD will ever reach. It's not happening. CoD and BF are not going to take any "room" away from it.
80 is good as long as the map is small enough. The 100 for PUBG is actually not even enough for how large 2 of the 3 maps are. They probably want there to be enough to do at the start instead of just at the end with relation to map size.
400 million people do not own PUBG, that sounds like the player count over the life of the game. Look at who is talking about CoD that would have never talked about it before. I do know about PUBG, and the mindshare has fallen off a cliff since this time last year (you didn't say anything about my comment that most of PUBG's success was in 2017, and especially on Steam).
Come on, CLEARLY more people are playing Fortnite than PUBG, and player counts have dropped off in comparison to that reality. It's about mindshare, time and money. That's about to get alot worse when literally every PUBG streamer is hyped about BO4.

Probably Nova6, a biochemical weapon they introduced in the first Black Ops
Again, this just shows how little you know. We have actual stats. There are more people playing PUBG than Fortnite. CoD and BF are not going to have any noticeable effect in either Fortnite or PUBG. CoD and BF will never reach PUBG sales and even less PUBG user numbers.
This game sounds super ambitious and they sound very dedicated
I think this has a ton of potential. And if they add screen screen id be over the moon

You have stats showing that more people are playing PUBG on X1/PC right now than Fortnite on PC/PS4/XB1/Mobile/Switch?

Missions to unlock characters are quite cool: https://charlieintel.com/2018/09/04...haracters-characters-unlocked-via-challenges/
Yes. PUBG has 400 million users total and 220 million monthly.
Fortnite has 125 million players, 40 million monthly
I can't wait for this, what I'm seeing on Twitter it looks great!
This is obviously where the single player time has gone.

Well I don't have all the numbers but I do see in this Steam chart that PUBG has lost half of its average monthly active players since the beginning of the year. I mean boxing still exists as a sport but it isn't nearly as popular as it used to be and no one talks about it anymore...that was more of what I meant (you seem to take it as me saying zero people will play this game starting on CoD's launch date).
I don't think that's entirely true. We know Raven is working on Blackout but they've not said that Blackout is solely Raven.
Is that confirmed in this new article?
I'd be surprised if it's 100% raven and not a collab of the two with them working under Treyarch.
They gonna roll. The install base of PS4 is huge and only have Fortnite (more cartoony) For those who want a military and more realistic shooter.... Cod will reign alone. For me, on PC, the question is If It will have a community......
Seeing the leaks of images of the map. This is getting me hyped more than the MP.
I just love the idea of a PUBG competitor, and the way they are adding zombies sounds satisfying.

Raven definitely helped with fleshing out the level, but this was done in-house at Treyarch. It's touched upon here: https://www.gameinformer.com/exclus...d-fire-questions-about-call-of-dutys-blackout

Ray Gun and Monkey Bombs are in

I wonder if Monkey Bombs can be used against players in some way besides being lucky enough that some noob walks over one just as it's about to explode.
Not from the impressions I read. Although I suppose people who miss wallrunning might think this
I wasn't sure they were capable of pulling this off, but the screens look gorgeous, and details sound absolutely fantastic tbh. 80 players with more to come, zombies, high framerate, interesting map design, choppers, in-game missions to unlock characters... I am more and more hyped. Treyarch makes some of the mechanically finest shooters on the market, that buttersmooth gameplay with an ambitious design is what could make me move away from all other BRs tbh. Looking forward to gameplay videos and the beta.

What we have of the map so far: https://www.reddit.com/r/Blackops4/comments/9czxba/updated_blackout_map_with_new_5th_teaser_piece/
Drawing zombies away from yourself and towards a group of enemies seems like the main use.
80 for now
115 possible and tested but Im guessing theyll settle for 100
