Gadzooks! I'm terrified of this little child who is going to stab me with a knife. I must wrest the knife away from his control and therefore gain the upperhand.

The game is on dedicated servers, they just happen to be held together with duct-tape. That gives it the P2P feel of experiencing a different connection every match!

Explain to me why in every game there was always someone with zero ping then.

As much as I loved the beta I am not buying this game if the boxes are anywhere near as loving terrible as they were in BLOPS the Third. I just have no interest in that level of gating for DLC weapons where you have zero loving control of when you get anything.

I really want to try it, as none of the other Battle Royale games interest me at all, with the possible exception of Battlefield... and then only if they include building/terrain destruction.

Wa-hey if you want building destruction, lemme tell you about an indie startup called Fortnite. :v:

Yeah no- I have absolutely zero interest in the whole "rapidly building towers to gain a height advantage is the key strategy to winning" part.
More to the point; due to how their creation and destruction mechanics mean cover penetration doesn't exist, that's an immediate disqualification for me.
If your game has guns and doesn't let you shoot through wood or thin walls in 2018, you hosed up.

I'm pretty excited to see what blackout is like, but I've been extremely hooked on fortnite for the past few months so it's gonna have to be really good to draw me away from that. I really enjoy fortnite's building mechanics, it's something new to master in a shooter beyond maps and gun meta.

It's free and you don't need Gold or PS plus to play online. I didn't even know that until my friend told me.

I've been hooked on PUBG for a while and it's admittedly a terrible game. Like, awful. Fortnite has zero appeal to me at all as I can't stand the art style and the building stuff has a less than zero appeal.

So, I guess I'm really curious as to what the big names can bring to the table before everyone gets sick of the Battle Royale genre. I just want to try the genre with a competently made shooter. Whether or not COD or BF will deliver on that remains to be seen.

Count me in as another one surprised that it's actually going to be 100 players.

Solo, Doubles, and Squads. Just-after-work crew will no longer need to suffer running 2-3 mans and pairing up with pubbies. We can jump into Blackout then switch when there’s enough for a full party.
