Blackout is going to be a microtransaction heaven but no like this, we're going to get gliders, characters, dances, emotes, weapon skins, vehicle skins and etc.
Definitely see them selling uniforms for the default custom characters.
Gimme a female version of these

FINALLY WON ONE! I'll upload the video shortly. The last guy to die wasn't even by me, but I think he died above me from the Collapse!

I think I already played 50 solo matches and it feels like I didn't even start yet. Never played any beta this much.

Release the game next week, not next month, Activision. Please.

A big team mode has been one of the most requested things I've seen so far, and the mode has been so popular in Fortnite that they made it a permanent mode. I'm sure Treyarch is taking notes about it, but that sort of thing is probably not going to end up being added into the game until after launch. Right now the priority is making sure that the main mode for the game is as fun as possible, fun secondary stuff like that will come later.

I didn't get in the beta, but I like what I'm seeing on streams. Might be my first Cod since Black Ops 2 if I can get some friends on board on PS4.

Always worth remembering that 50v50 is potentially a technical problem. As popular as the mode is in Fortnite, it exhibits far more technical issues than the other modes because players are in close proximity to higher numbers of players more often. I'm sure they'll do it, ultimately, if they can. Early days yet, it's coming in hot as it is.

Yeah, I could see a 44v44 mode crippling performance in Blackout. It runs amazingly at the moment but equally starts to stutter a bit on base PS4 when you're travelling too fast by vehicle or near tons of enemies. Every player being in the same small area might be bad... I love the mode in Fortnite and would always be willing to try it. But I think it might be a bit ambitious.

Just played a few games of fast collapse.

This is it, chiefs. This is the most fun I've had in the beta so far.

I just saw Doc climb a ladder normally and pretty casually without thinking, so I donno what was going on with you guys


We're talking about climbing back down, not up. Also, Treyarch has already acknowledged that the issue indeed exists: https://www.reddit.com/r/Blackops4/comments/9faef3/day_3_fast_collapse_blackout_ps4_beta_recap/
Ladders: We're aware that a number of players have had issues backing down ladders. The team is considering ways to address this. Adjustments to climbing down ladders may not make it into the Beta, but we're looking at it in time for launch. As a reminder, it's always faster to base jump if you're high enough. Sprint towards the edge and press and hold the Jump button.

Oh climbing down.
Yea I guess that's an issue, although I've always found climbing a ladder down while facing away from the ladder (having my back towards the ladder) in FPS games a bit weird , not in terms of how it doesn't make sense but in terms of controls...like sometimes it'd make sense to have to press down to go down but the way it works is that you walk forwards towards the ladder and instantly start climbing down and I always fear that my character will just let go of the ladder and fall if I keep pressing forward...lol

That's why I just prefer a context sensitive button where in I grab onto the ladder and just go up or down with proper climbing animation. Though this is obviously not as quick.

Correct, it is a design change that we'd need to look at since people are having problems which is why it may not be addressed in this beta.

Thank you. I want to tell you and your team that you guys are doing incredible work listening to fans and responding appropriately both online and via ingame changes despite the fact that it's not the full release. I hope Blackout becomes a huge hit.

Any chance of some colour or specs on the weapons I'm picking up?

It's hard to tell if what I'm picking up is good or not :)

Over time I'm assuming I will become familiar, just I find myself playing roulette on the decision to pick up or not

PS: can you accidentally send an email out releasing the game from Monday :)

Do we know what the resolution is on base ps4? Everything is so blurry.

Also I feel like they played it too safe. They need more random stuff happening in the world kinda like the zombies supply drop.

There is a yellow/gold highlight over guns that are fully stocked. The weapons would be more familiar if you played the MP beta, I guess.

We have a lot of tweaks and polish, bug fixes coming post beta too. I can't share much of that, but there's a lot more incoming that we'll be sharing over time.

Thanks! We read and watch the streams while we work, and it's been great reading the reception to this. While this is a beta, we do want to get feedback on people playing the game so we can tweak it.

Cheers Kaf, thank you for the response.

Looking forward to full release :)

Man I just can't get into Battle Royale.

I hate that you can spend 5-10 minutes getting shit and running around only to die to a sniper and get nothing for your time.

I get why people like it, it's just not for me.

Think I'll stick to that Multiplayer where I can mindlessly murder 30 people a match.

I'm looking forward to the day when I see a post like

'Woahhh there's this mode on blackout - a small map where Its 5 vs 5 and you have to capture rings! You die and you instantly come back alive, it's nuts!'

I wonder if one day Call of Duty will be thought of as primarily a battle royale game.
