As I said in the VDG Thread, it wouldn’t surprise me if Treyarch was just immensely frustrated with the fact that they put in the most actual work with their campaigns compared to the other developers and players just still didn’t care or play them.

Came back from the reveal event. Will post here more of my personal thoughts in a bit

Can’t lie; I’m a bit disappointed:
-Specialists are back. They’ve given me some super fun moments in BO3, but I’ve been choked out of too many streaks by someones welfare kill to be excited they’re back. Plus half of them are recycled in terms of kill or tactical abilities. The other half don’t look interesting at all.
EDIT: I’m also seeing from youtubers’ posted videos of the event that a team can only have ONE of each type of specialist. So, If 2 people on a team want to play as Ruin or Seraph, it’s down to who picks them first. I… I just can’t…

-You have to manually regen your health now. Seems like an extra thing to manage for no real reason.

-Tactical insertions are kind of back in the form of Seraph’s spawn beacons. With them active, you can pick your spawns like in Battlefield. Don’t REALLY know how this will play out in battle, but I’m leaning towards badly. Objective modes are already a pain with the regular spawns. Now you’re telling me a team can almost explicitly pick where to spawn? I’ll be staying in TDM.

Other than those nitpicky things, the basic gameplay looks decent at least. But that beta is now make or break for me. If that beta says this game is ass, then I’m probably gone from the series for good.

I liked the game when I played it. I like that it does promote more team play. TDM has bored me for years. This felt more refreshing and yes I get that the average player just wants to play however they like but I need an objective. I need a reason to shoot and kill peeps.

I like the more tactical format. I just want a bigger playcount.

for all 3 of us who care

Literally forgot this came out yesterday. Does anyone have this? What’s your consensus thus far?

I like it. Blackout is fun especially when you’re in a party doing stupid shit. Only things I don’t like is TTK is too long in multiplayer (that’s with and without armor). Don’t use Strike Team. That scorestreak is still terrible just like in the beta. RC-XD doesn’t have the speed and hops the HC-XD had in Black Ops 3. Multiplayer might be too fast for some early on because players are pushing too hard into the map causing spawn flips to happen every ten seconds.

So far I’ve been using UAV + Attack Chopper + Sniper’s Nest and don’t plan on changing it soon. The specialist with the shield (Ajax?) is very good. Recon with Acoustic Sensor is basically a walking VSAT (the game doesn’t have an actual VSAT).

The multiplayer maps look really good. Colors pop just like in Black Ops 3.

I haven’t tried Blackout yet. I might hop on and run solo when the football games start today.

Are there any other game types for battle royale other than the 2v2, 4v4,etc that was in the beta?

For Blackout, there’s Solo, Duos, and Quads.

Quads for the best chance at leveling up. Also new title now.

CoD thread Black Cops 4: now with less campaign and more battle royal

…so no Blackout - kill confirm, capture the flag :frowning:

You did ask for “are there any other game types for battle royale” and I answered your question lol.

Other modes in BO4:

Core:

  • Control
  • Heist
  • FFA
  • Kill Confirmed
  • S&D
  • Domination
  • Hardpoint
  • TDM

Hardcore:

  • FFA
  • TDM
  • Kill Confirmed
  • Domination
  • S&D

There’s also Zombies and then Blackout mode with solos, duos, quads.

Yeh that wasn’t a question, more me repeating your answer to myself in disappointment. ~sighs~

Still love this game.

I think there’s only maybe 4 peeps here left that play CoD. I wonder if anyone back in for Nu MW

Its because COD mostly sucks. MW2 will always be great.

MW2 is the MvC2 of the series. Broken enough to be fun and over the top.

I mostly like it cause I have a lot of fun with the shield. The riot shield in other CoD games doesnt feel right.

People still get all grumpy about the shield. One guy last night was grumpy cause I use martyrdom. I told him its perfect for the way I play since my goal is to get in close to bad guys. I die right next to bad guys that I have stunned and a grenade pops out and kills one or two of them.

I hate quickscoping. At the same time I will camp. Play how you like and forget how peeps feel about how you play. I hope we get a shield again for then next game.
