Eh there are quite a lot of people (myself included) that have really enjoyed the BFV beta, despite it being buggy and janky as gently caress and having quite a bit of mechanical and balancing issues. In fact a lot of my friends that were planning on passing on the game are now hyped as gently caress for the full release. I am pretty impressed with the Blackout beta, seems pretty close to release quality. Missed out on the regular multiplayer betas but from what I've seen that also seemed fairly well-polished. Which, to be fair to DICE, blops4 is mostly an iterative continuation of the COD series whereas BFV departs much more radically from previous Battlefields.

Day 1 recap from Devs:quote:- Item Pickups: We’ve seen several comments suggesting that the item pickup time is slower than expected. We’ll be updating the game to make pickup speeds as fast as possible without interfering with reloading, and make it easier to pick up items without looking directly at them. PC players will also be able to map keys to instantly pick up items when the Blackout Beta goes live on PC later this week.

See when the devs mean "Play nice out there", they're really saying "Hey it's perfectly fine to play catch with Macy's sniper bullets as they zoom through the air." Just calling that now.

It would be super lame if they took out friendly fire. Played for like 3+ hours tonight. Really enjoyed it. It answers the question I've had for a while of "what if PUBG and fortnite didn't look and play like poo poo". It rips off PUBG more than Fortnite ever did. It's basically a carbon copy of it. TBH it's going to render PUBG completely irrelevant most likely. It's just the same thing but astronomically better in most ways (although I think Blackout fails at a few of the most notable things PUBG does but it really doesn't matter when the general performance and gameplay is so much better it feels like you jumped into the future by comparison) . I wouldn't be surprised it some anemic lawsuit threats are incoming. One thing they need to do is either just get rid of the zombies or do something interesting with them because their inclusion feels totally pointless and tacked on right now. veni veni veni fucked around with this message at 06:11 on Sep 11, 2018 |

I bet Blackout will be the most popular mode by a large margin, and CoD-purists will be pissed that muh CoD has been PUBG'D. It's really good though. Everyone has been waiting for a competent PUBG clone that performs well and looks good, without all the jank, and this is it. This might even revive CoD on PC, which has been dead ever since Ghosts killed it.

I'm not into BR, but this feels surprisingly finished. Only noticed some minor bugs. If I were PUBG, I'd be worried - it's much better than their pathetic effort on consoles. Also, only got to #2 - should have taken that sniper rifle!

The movement in PUBG is and has always been awkward, laggy and desync'y, while this feels as smooth as CoD always does.

my SO made me play a poo poo ton of fortnite with her, and its the only BR I have ever played before. I don't really like playing it to be honest and did not have high hopes for this... but after a few rounds I can already say I'm enjoying this much more than I ever did fortnite.

Only noticed two things out of place. The time to kill is way too high right now, and seeing someone way out far is pointless to shoot at because of it. Zombies are pointless. Not sure why they're in the BR mode at all. Game looks amazing outside of that.

Areas where they spawn have zombie crates which have better / kitted weapons and they also drop healing items so if you need to stock up they're not a terrible option. The only thing I'd add to Blackout for an even more COD experience is to rip off the PUBG mortar strike zones and have random killstreaks hit the map. Like just have a bombing run make a pass or an A-10 strafe run.

I’m definitely a COD fan in general so I’m gonna have some bias, but like others have said it’s SHOCKINGLY fun. I don’t care for the building mechanics in Fortnite, and this does what PUBG does, but better. The First-Person mode really works well with the “survival” aspect of these kind of games. I like how the gliding and airdropping works. I still have a soft spot for Realm Royale when it comes to BR games, but yeah it’s really really good. I can see us weaving in and out of this and “normal” CoD multiplayer if either mode gets stale, so yeah. 8.3/10 edit: I’ll be on very late tonight and a good chunk of Weds/Thursday afternoons if anyone is around. Probably will stream too?

IM DAY DAY IRL posted:i look forward to playing blackout forever* Same. I skipped the last few COD games since I shifted back to primarily PC gaming over the last year or two, but I'm holding out a sliver of hope that Activision can make this poo poo good enough to sustain a playerbase on PC large enough to keep the BR mode going. If not, then it'll be back to PUBG until Division 2 comes out.

So goonspiricist and I played a handful of games at like 6am eastern today and this was FUN! Much more so than I expected it to be. I was fully ready to write the entire mode off, but now I’m kind of thinking this is going to be quite enjoyable to play with you folks. I’m happy team killing is in this because it adds a degree of tension to it that it honestly needs. I even found myself wanting to stick it out and watch after we’d both been eliminated just to see who won. I’m curious what the point of leveling up is. I don’t think I did in the time we played. Also, will there be a prestige associated with this? I’m guessing it will be some stupid epeen shorty man Barbie doll dress up stuff since it would defeat the purpose to give people advantages coming in, but who knows. Also, total random aside: the voice codec they used is easily the best of any cod game in memory. There was virtually no difference between in game chat and a PlayStation party in terms of quality.

Are BR & MP account levels kept separate? I just want to prestige a ton but also wave my dick in battle royale. Do I get the best of both worlds?

Watching Shroud and Lirik stream Blackout and holy crap it looks like great fun. All I ever wanted out of a BR was PUBG but less janky and a little bit faster paced, and it really looks like they've nailed it. I dunno about zombies though, they seem utterly pointless.

Double Bill posted:PUBG is 100% dead when this comes out, even on PC. Lol - I'm no huge PUBG fan but this is just completely wrong. Despite losing players each month, PUBG on PC remains at the top of the steam charts and not by a small margin. I don't think a $60 PC game is going to suddenly cause a massive additional drop in PUBG player base, which still hits at or above 1 million concurrent users per day. For perspective: PUBG's peak CCU today is still higher than CS:GO's all time peak CCU.

At the rate things are going, PUBG wont't hit 1 million concurrent players regularly for much longer. They've been bleeding an enormous amount of players.

As someone who loved PUBG and gave it up after they began pushing more $kins than bug fixes, Blackout is super appealing. Even if it's just a not-laggy PUBG I'll be putting in at least 300 hours.

It's gonna be destroyed once open beta on PC beings Friday. Shroud and Dr love it. The first beta was well received on PC and its not a hot garbage mess of a game unlike Pubg. Being on battle net and not having to worry about cheating or support is the bonus.

Cod is for sure going to be a big hit, but there is a massive gap between "highest peak and average CCU on steam charts" and "dead/destroyed." PUBG will be just fine even if shroud/doc stop playing completely.

I wonder if a 960 will be able to get a steady 60 if I turn poo poo down. I normally buy CoD games on PS4 because they're just about the only console shooters that feel decent, but I dunno about playing a BR game with inventory management and poo poo on a controller.
