Call of Duty: Black Ops IIII Blackout Beta |OT| A New Era Has Begun
- Thread starter Deception
- Start date
I can image that blackout maps won´t be included in the season pass.
The one I think, but they said they are going to Evolve and add to it a lot over the time after launch.
Click the link again where you had to redeem the pre order code on the call of duty website
They could just take the Fortnite route and make map updates. Though Id rather they add new maps entirely, especially with new biomes. but that would require putting in more resources than I think Activision would care to. I still dont know how much they intend to commit to Blackout
Honestly in the current climate you have to image there is way more money to be made from loot boxes than putting maps behind a paywall. Especially in something where you need 100 players you can't get away with it as easily.
They have already stated new black out maps are not planned at this time they will probably just update the existing map.
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.
When it comes to new maps I'd love it if they made maps themed after every Black Ops. Cold War map, 2025 map and 2065 map please.
Oh no... I just know every cod fan is going to prefer this but i really enjoy the slow pace
Hope it isnt too fast
It's extremely fast. Played 2 matches, it both i was forced to find a vehicle in order to outrun the circle.
I've got this pre-ordered, but the push/pull from pubg and cod players is going to make this a strange mode, I think.
I want it slower, with a lot of tension and tactical battles that mean something (higher TTK). Looting and finding a good AR is part of the fun. I can already tell a lot of CoD players aren't happy with the slower pace of play and time to loot, etc.
I know 99% are gonna disagree with me because of how harsh it is, but for the final release anyone who teamkills for any reason other than self defense should just be permabanned or put in a lobby with other assholes. People who play just to troll and piss off others just shouldn't be allowed to play at all as far as I'm concerned.
Yea it's a mode that will constantly be changed. I personally like it slower as I feel it makes matches a bit more tense. Faster just means more players will be forced to fight early on and the game will end quicker.
IMO BR shines with the slower moments as well. Allowing you time to loot.
Got a solo win in my third match. :D
Never played BR before, well maybe Arma back in the day.

Surprisingly a lot of fun. No real complaints, aside from too many "hold button to perform action" situations. It can make inventory management quite a chore.
Haven't even had an issue with the footstep sounds, whereas I thought they were terrible in the regular multiplayer. Using Sony Platinums. The perk that boosts your hearing boosts it to an insane degree. I was hearing footsteps 200 feet out.

You haven't played enough yet if you haven't killed an ally by accident
Please teyarch, dont make fast collapse the norm
Its fun but totally kills off what i enjoy in BR
But with any luck, I assume the game can support both modes

Sprint off the cliff, hit and hold Jump. Sprinting is the part people are missing
I did and it says "you've already redeemed a code for Xbox..." But doesn't actually give me a code.. my other account is a psn account and it says the same thing but then lists 4 psn codes
Yep, same. But my PlayStation code said that too until the actually beta went live. The Xbox code should pop up on Friday
It seems like it goes way too far in its changes for them to be considering to make them the new norm. Although I feel like the regular game could benefit with shaving off 2 or so minutes for the overall game time (Largely taking the time away from the pretty slow and not very significant 2nd and 3rd circles) the new mode goes way too far, to the point where if you're not in the first circle you have only a minute or two before you need to start looking for a vehicle, and it makes dropping anywhere that's not near the center of the map completely non-viable because you won't have the time to actually get anything if the circle doesn't spawn on top of you. Looking on Reddit a lot of people enjoy the mode but also don't want it to become the new standard either.
Yeah Im sure they enjoy the original mode but wanted something more cod-like to try
I hope they commit to the original version because its perfect to me
Wouldnt mind adjusting 2 or so minutes off the original mode
It's definitely got xp/levelling in it so you've gotta assume there's progression of a type.
If there is leveling then there gotta be something else otherwise it would be pointless.
I was assuming it might unlock the different characters? All the Black Ops characters and the different guys from the main multiplayer mode.
Also, what about playing it for fun? Don't stress about progression.
Think it needs some adjustments, like maybe make it ricochet.
The code was standing in the top left corner of the screen for me. Sucks man :/
Progression is part of the fun, won't hold my interest much without it.
I was just thinking after I played a couple nights ago, that the circles need to be faster and more dangerous. As it was, even in the later circles you could easily outrun the circle, and vehicles were pretty much pointless if you didnt need them to escape the circle. I was thinking I preferred H1Z1 in that you need to search and manage your vehicles to be able to make it to the final round. otherwise it sort of just felt like COD on a large map.
They've added fast collapses? How fast are we talking? The map is already fairly small.
What is the fastest/easiest way to get a code? Preorder through PSN store, Amazon, etc? I'm planning on going digital either way.
EDIT: I see now PSN immediately allows you to download the beta, no code necessary!

I've been telling myself since Monday that I'd only play a few matches to get a feel for the mode and then I'd wait until the full release but I keep firing it up to get a few rounds in, I feel like this is going to really get it's hooks in me when the full release comes around.
Fast Collapse isn't a good idea. The map is already very small, it just forces the game to end quicker.
You can almost get to the furthest points on the map wherever you decide to jump from.
It doesn't feel epic enough. I thought a studio as big as Treyarch with the support of Activision would be able to deliver a huge Battle Royale experience but PUBG(on pc at least) is the only one that delivers a truly memorable Battle Royale experience.
Don't get me wrong I'm still enjoying this and it feels nicr to play but it's a far cry from what i was expecting.
