I know the after action report, lists damage done. I thought that gave some merits. But does it not?
Damage done does not.
Top 15/10/5 (solo/duo/quad) gives.
Kill gives.
Challenges give.

I would like to see either placement (every x in front of you gives y merits), and/or damage dealt (every x damage dealt gives y merits).

That's a shame, it would take me around 8 hours to download that much so I wouldn't even be able to play tonight. I did read that you only need to download around 17gb's to play Blackout, is that true? hat's the only mode I really wanted to try anyway.
Yes that's true :)

If you have the dollars spare I would just pick the game up if I was you.

Blackout, zombies, multiplayer - defo something for any FPS player

Can't buy it myself until next Friday but thinking of Redboxing a few more days.

Have any other character missions opened in Blackout?

You know, the more I play the MP the more I dislike it. In comparison to Blackout it feels so inconsistent. Sometimes you do really good and other times you're getting killed over and over before you can see anyone. The constant spawn killing on every match. The amount of times your bullets just stop doing damage. It felt so good the first couple of days but now it feels like it's just degraded really badly.

I think this is lag comp? I feel the same. In some matches, I go 40-10 and then in the next, I go 20-20 or something. Haha! Spawns are terrible in Domination. Few games in and you can guess where enemies are coming from. The spawns were never this bad in BO3.

I'm leveling my weapons so slowly because of how badly I'm doing. It feels like you need to be absolutely dominating for it to go by quickly.

If you feel confident with your reflexes, hop into a hardcore mode like kill confirmed.

Even if you're not playing that well, kills come so quickly that you'll Max a gun out in just a few hours.

Hardcore mode - don't be threatened by it just because it's labelled hardcore.

Think Goldeneye with the golden gun - pretty much everything is a 1 hit kill, so you should rack them up much quicker in their

Disagree. I remember all the time getting spawned killed over and over again mostly due to how powerful scorestreaks were in the game, and also doing it to people myself. I remember just destroying teams with the Cerberus and Wraith.

Welp this happened...

It was a draw, #1, the merit screen shows a win but it counts as a loss. Ah well.

I'll probably get it eventually, but I'm short on money and I'm going to be playing Soul Calibur the day after tomorrow.

Thanks for the answer.

I agree. I started seeing so many inconsistencies in this game and it's the exact reason I stopped playing cod years ago. Bullets literally stop doing damage even though I'm still getting hit markers. Crazy spawns, players rubber banding, just not fun anymore for me lol.

Is anyone able to tell me how I go about selecting special issue equipment in create a class?

Its not entirely clear that it unlocks at a certain level. I can see the trophy system, Molotovs etc unlock after a few levels but nothing about specialist equipment like grapple gun etc.

I'm level 18 at the moment.

Just reached level 20 in Blackout. Can't stop playing!

To anyone new with Blackout, one piece of advice I could give is to learn what the different perks are and how you can use it to your advantage.

Just came across this article with a listing of perks and how they can be helpful:

https://heavy.com/games/2018/10/call-of-duty-blackout-perks-ranked/

Outlander is one of my favorites for the end game. You take less damage from the circle and movement is faster when you're in it. Towards the end game, one tactic is to use this and stay in the circle in hopes of picking off someone by surprise. From what I've seen, people aren't too concerned with what's outside the circle so that's your chance to sneak up. Just make sure you have a good amount of heals.

Skulker is another good one. Lets you crouch walk super fast, as if you're sprinting. Crouching makes your footsteps quieter so having that AND moving fast is awesome.

Dead Silence is probably one of the best. Who doesn't like being silent!

Trauma kits are your friend. They increase your health to 200. Always like to carry at least 1 with me.

Since the beta, I was a fan of the Swordfish but haven't used it during MP yet. I just finished a Blackout match with it and I love it. Most likely my go to weapon for that mode. A shotgun is pretty nasty, too, at close range. I think I have a clip of a fight I had that I'll post up.

If you're struggling in Blackout, just try and familiarize yourself with perks and weapons. Also, patience is needed. Even if you see someone, it might not be the best time to shoot. I was never a patient guy with these games, lol. That was my biggest problem but BR games helped with that. Learn when it's safe to go or hang back.

Hm, ever since a recent update, my brother has had huge connectivity issues. His latency keeps on bouncing between 40-60ish (pre-update normal) and up to 300ish. Any one else experienced similar, or know possible fixes?

This happened to me earlier, up to 400 ping. I eventually just rebooted the game and it went back to the 40-60 range.

Anybody else having windows randomly break in Blackout? No shooting going on or items being used or vehicles being used. Just randomly a bunch of windows will explode for no reason. Seems to happen a lot to me.

yeah, i take it slow, don´t shoot a lot and come consistently into the Top 10 now, patience is the key

another great perk is the one that lets you see vehicles...i often snag myself a helicopter, fly into the circles, land, hide somewhere and wait for the next circle. works good so far

Moving in Destiny is like being in mud. I am done with that game. I gave it 4 years, im done.

Yeah I meant best gun in COD.
Forsaken is a great expansion believe me. Don't miss it! In COD I run the ICR with grip 1&2 + QuickDraw. VAPR feels nice while shooting and definitely a monster but I need to control its recoil

I'm bumping my question from earlier:

- On X1 does it seem like there is more lag in Blackout duos then before today's patch?
- secondly: Does it seem like the blue circle is now moving much faster than you can sprint?

Something is off on my end since this latest auto patch.

I've never been this conflicted over a game purchase. My finger is practically on the buy button.

I loved PUBG for the first few months, but the bad gunplay and pure jank got old. BOBO seems to be leaps and bounds ahead in those categories. I'm not sure why I haven't bought it.

Someone push me over the edge!

You want PUBG with the fun-ness of black ops 1 and smooth?

Do it.

I'm in your exact spot lol

The one thing that makes me hesitant is the lack of customization unlocks, especially in Blackout. However, I can see them adding more skins/gear as time goes on. No way Activision misses out on that market.

I'm starting to regret getting this for the PC. Can't find a good mouse sensitivity and sucking ass all the while getting 1HK by quick scope bunny hoppers.
