Quote to reveal your codes hombres! Also thanks for sharing, this game wasn't on my radar but hearing some good things I might give the beta a shot if I manage to get a code!
First solos game and I got second because the last guy hit me with a 9 Bang and I was dead before it even ended. Really shitty way to lose the game.
bro you dont get it, like, at all
it doesnt matter what position you're in, I have used concussion nades and ambushed, had better positioning, had high ground, etc. If you engage in a gunfight at the end stages of a match theres rarely a lot of places to go so it comes down to a 1v1 gunfight, which you will lose more often than not against lvl 3 armor.
Its not impossible, ive done it before, but damn its frustrating and unnecessary.
You can do all those things and likely still lose, or just find some armor.
I think thats it. Dont think they have done a breakdown of maps or anything yet.
Speaking of concussions, the 9-Bang is bullshit.
Get hit with one and you can expect to die. Cant go prone, run, or hipfire the gun, and when you get with all 9 you may as well say your prayers.
That shit needs to be capped at max 1, and be a rare item. It's too common. Same with clusters. Getting cluster kills feels dirty to me. I know 9-Bang has a counter, but 9 bang is too frequently carried

Anyone else having problems identifying weapons outside of ammo type? Maybe I'm just not used to Black Ops weapons (I did play the other games a bit). Pubg uses real weapons, and fortnite has the basic 'shotgun' 'smg' etc. I just can't tell what guns might be better without picking them up and running with em for a bit. A newbie problem really, I'm just not a fan of the generic weapon names.
The weapons are hard to distinguish, yes. And I want to inspect them. I really love the weapons/weapon designs in WWII.. it's hard going to BOIIII.
Yeah, I assume this won't be as much of a problem in the full game since everything should be unlockable in the regular MP.
The weapons are very hard to read for me. I haven't played cod since 4 and the models don't really translate to function.
Stuff like an uzi equivalent looks very bulky and there's a shotgun that looks like an smg and other weapons that look like shotguns.
It's fun though. I'm just very bad at it. Wish I could use the wing suit from even smaller heights. And for the game to be slightly less fast.
It's not going to be an esports game that's for sure though. And fine.
No matter the circle, you only lose 1 health a second when you are out of it. You can loot as long as you want, theres enough health to provide you for ever in there.
And some gimmicks could easily be too useful to tip the scales for high level players.
But hell, it's very good optimized fun on pc. I like it more than fortnite and it seems like a good alternative to a more tactical pubg.

Nah, it's alright
Yeah. Blackout is fun but I do prefer the faster paced DM.
Ok, I'm impressed with the gameplay. Game runs so smooth most of the time. However, there is one thing that I feel will keep me from dropping PUBG and switching to this game as my online game of choice. That is the directional sound design. I can hear the the horizontal sound direction just fine, but where PUBG excels and COD fails miserably is the vertical sound design. I was on a middle floor at Construction and I couldn't tell if the enemy was above or below me. It literally sounded like they were on the same floor with me, but they clearly wasn't (they were below). PUBG (and even Fortnite if I remember correctly) adjusts the sounds you hear based on whether they are above/below you. Traditionally, this really didn't matter a whole lot for Call of Duty, given their how matches typically played out. That's also why I don't see them changing/fixing this at all if any time soon.
Before anyone blasts me for using mono sound or something ridiculous. I have a pretty nice surround system and have speakers all around (even above me) and don't have this issue in other games. I think I took for granted how well PUBG does their sound model. I can pinpoint where sound is coming from on all axis's.
It's a shame really, because I'm enjoying the gameplay so much. However, sound matters and I feel they fall way too short in this area. Not hyperbole, but not sure I'll be keeping my preorder or will recommend this to my friends I play with regularly on PUBG that didn't get into the beta. I'll keep playing this weekend, but I'm a little bummed. Wanted this game to take me away from PUBG. I was ready.

They have a lot of changes to make to keep me interested. Health and armor needs to be completely overhauled. Probably just level one armor and maybe level 2 and extend the cast time on all healing items by a lot. Color code weapons and maybe remove some similar guns to simplify looting and identifying weapons. Looting needs to be redone, change reload to hold X and everything else to tap X, and have both weapons shown in the inventory at all times to quickly swap attachments. Sound is terrible in the game and has to be fixed before launch.
They might have something if they can make those changes, but right now it's vaguely like PUBG but with a lot less thought put into the design. Game is also pretty laggy at times with players teleporting around, framerate dips aren't uncommon, and PUBG looks a lot better overall while Blackout obviously had some money thrown at its art assets to give the map more variety which is nice.

I also want to add that the sounds themselves (running on different surfaces, guns...etc) are all great. My only issue is how they handle the directional sound (specifically the vertical sound design).
Has anyone else noticed this? Or am I just spoiled by PUBG in how they distort the sound based on whether someone is above/below you?
Makes such a difference when defending/breaching a location that has multiple floors.

It's a known issue and they are going to address it.
See, this is why it makes sense for Activision to just release a new $60 BR game next year instead of making this its own thing.
Imagine the hype when Infinity Ward releases Modern Warfare Battle Royale with all the locations from COD4, MW2, MW3 with the absolutely recognizable classic weapons and attachments we've come to expect.
I know we have the BO4 MP, but I do wish they'd have utilized the weaponry of BO2 or BO3. The guns they have in this game still feel really unrecognizable even after playing the MP beta.
Source? I did a few google searches, but didn't find anything. If they can fix this, I'm in.
Yes of course, make everyone pay for 2 $60 games instead of one. I am sure for them it makes perfect sense
Played 2 quad games with randoms on XBX so far and boy... it's fun! Definitely glad, need to add some folks from here to play with, no ones be chatty so far.
Semi random question - As a Pro and XBX owner, I've been kinda scattering my FPS purchases, but with the X Enhanced versions, I've went that route more and more. Problem is... controls feel loose to me? Never had that with the OG or 360, and it's not every game. Overwatch feels fine regardless. But some FPS, like this one, feel like it's harder to aim and track, like it's not as tight as the Dualshock. Am I just weird or does anyone else feel this way? Do the aim sticks you can click onto the analogs of the XB controller help at all?

Try restarting. They just pushed an update and added a new mode.
Yup. Especially since some of the names are random numbers and letters. It makes the first 20-30 matches tough.

- Audio Occlusion (AKA: Spatial Audio):We discovered and are fixing a critical bug where a player's environment does not properly impact in-game sounds. This is why, for example, someone directly above or below the player can sound so much louder than expected. When the game is released, footsteps will be properly impacted by walls, floors, ceilings, and other objects in the world.
That seems like barriers muffling sound rather than directional audio.
Yeah that shit is rough. Idk whose idea this was but being stuck in animation is shit. I don't remember the old CoDs doing that when you're concussed or blinded.
I pretty much came to post the same thing. There's no reason not to show at least both weapons on the inventory screen with all of that empty space. Perhaps it'll be used for something in the full version. Armor is also ridiculously overpowered. I shouldn't unload a clip on someone at close range and still die. That should never happen in this type of game.
If necessary changes are made, and I'm sure they will be, there could be a pretty good game here. At the same time though, why not just play PUBG? Everything is so satisfying in that game. So far, this game hasn't brought anything new that I must have and will keep playing for.
Zombies characters are now playable and there's a new LTM called Close Quarters Frenzy. SMGs, shotguns and pistols only with a faster collapse speed, duos.
How I feel as well. The first aid items could be tweaked as well because healing while running goes a LONG way (it makes me wish Fortnite did it and it's honestly my favorite feature lol).
Maybe lower the amount you can carry at once, or even lower the amount of HP healed. I mean I outran the storm from Nuketown to the edge of Rivertown with relative ease thanks to how many you carry/how much it heals you while sprinting.
I'm still confused about being revived at 100 health, too. They should be picked back up with no more than half health.
Oh no, no no no please not again : game crashes to desktop, no message, nothing. Just like the BFV beta. Jesus it's so fucking annoying how am I supposed to test anything if I can't even play the damn thing. :'(
Tried Blackout on PC for the first time. Its meh...its not bad..but its not great. I had a little more hopes for it, but in the end its still call of duty; it plays way too fast..there is too much loot..its not really a battle royale game. If this is someones first and only experience with a battle royale game I feel like they are getting ripped off. That being said, its a good time waster and appeared to have no learning curve at all and ran pretty good on the PC for a beta. You can sprint and heal at the same time too which is silly.
- Only problem is level 3 armor. 1 and 2 are fine.
- I love that fact you can heal and move at the same time. This game is so mobile and it makes it different from pubg. I hope they don't change it
- You will learn what weapon to use after a while. It doesn't really take that long to learn it.
- Looting was also wierd first, but you get hang of it after a while. Only change I want is, that I don't need to look at the loot. Should be enough that l stand top of it or close to it.
- Only problem with sounds are vertical (being fixed) and vehicle sounds. Other than that, they are great and it is easy to hear where people are.
- Pubg might be looking better on PC, but in consoles COD wins and it is also closer to 60 fps. And in PC everyone turn the graphics down to see other players better.
- Haven't notice any lag on PS4. Maybe it is problem with Xbox?
