Unless you’ve had an even more ridiculous snipe you should be able to check your stats to see how long of a shot that was at least.

The PC beta is getting capped at 90fps.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Blackops4/comments/9fps8h/black_ops_4_blackout_pc_server_tests_during_beta/

quote:

We’re ready to kick-off in the morning, so we wanted to make sure everyone has the latest Blackout PC beta updates, as we have a couple of details to share about our development and stat-gathering plans for the weekend.

During the Blackout PC Beta, among other things, we’ll be running constant server capacity and performance tests. During this important testing phase, to help ensure as smooth an experience as possible for everyone, we are capping the framerate at 90 FPS. The team will be closely monitoring all the data throughout the course of the weekend. We’ll also be testing different player counts so that we can optimize to be ready for launch on October 12th.

Remember, as always, that the beta serves as a testing ground for us to gather information on performance, controls, and so many other details. All your feedback during the beta contributes important information that will help us deliver the best experience possible on PC. We are looking forward to this Blackout Beta weekend, and can’t wait to see you online.

It doesn't really make a difference to me because I doubt I'll even get it to a steady 60, but it's interesting to me anyway how stuff works behind the scenes. It looks like that, probably due to the game still being based on the Quake 3 engine in some form, higher framerates use more bandwidth. Wonder if they'll keep it capped for release?

At least they don't have a laser gun that has more damage the higher the fps I guess. Really looking forward to see how they handle looting on the PC.

Kind of weird to do a beta and cap it though. That's one of the things you'd want to test for before launch surely, especially since all the PC marketing was like UNCAPPED FPS WE PROMISE

Jump off chopper, gently caress up the drop if you’re goonspiracist, drive a truck like a maniac, complain about backpacks if you’re Macys, never get a kill except the final one if you’re me, get sniped from who the gently caress knows there at some point.

Treyarch has a pretty good track record so I have faith in them not messing up the PC version. I don’t think they’ve had any framerate related issues. I’m thinking this is something to do with the networking.

We need to try again except you need to get off the ATV before we move the truck. I think you being on it messed with the physics.

The game just doesn't work properly on my 960. The trees don't render properly and are just huge blocky 2d sprites that take up the whole sky, and I can see through walls and poo poo. Is it a VRAM issue or something? The card only has 2 gigs, but the minimum specs they set are a 660 for christ's sake so you think it would at least function properly on this. :sigh:

Nah, you do that if you want in today instead of tomorrow.

Also fun fact: The last time Blizzard made us watch stuff for in-game goods, DJ Khaled performed a cover of God's Plan live on stage.

Game's pretty fun overall. The shooting does feel a lot more arcadey (less recoil, less weight to the shots, slightly higher TTK, etc.) than PUBG, but it's still much closer to a PUBG feeling than it is to Fortnite, so that's good.

No leaning is weird. I've ingrained that into my aiming so much that I'm tossing random grenades in firefights on occasion.

Also feels weird saying it, but it doesn't feel as smooth as PUBG does, because FPS is so much lower due to the cap and lack of optimization going on. I'm sure it'll get better, but going from 120-150fps in PUBG to 60-90 in this is jarring. Guess I'll mess with more of the graphics settings tomorrow and see how much of a difference it makes.

Sniping and long range engagements in general kind of suck compared to PUBG too. The bullet drop seems excessive and the overall feedback you get from the snipers isn't great.

Everything else about it is good, or is just a matter of getting more comfortable with the controls and perks and poo poo.

They begin again

I’ve played this a few times on the PS4 and I genuinely can’t believe I’m actually liking a BR game. Never played PUBG because I only use a PS4 but it always looked like a stressful mess. Fortnite is cool but I find it to be a stressful dull game with the worst endgame of any multiplayer game I’ve ever played. This though, maybe due to the CoD feel and all that, is really doing it for me. Maybe convincing me that I can like the genre.

They drop some excellent loot and throw up a big light beam into the sky which is nice to either contest/bait. Also nice is they're not ALWAYS zombie areas, although I don't know what (if anything) triggers the spawn or if it's just random.

They do not :(

The lever action is unfortunately awful, the Zweihander is "ok", but the raygun does hella damage at close range and owns in general

Theres a bunch of problems with the inventory that seem to crash you. Be careful about activating too many perks, reloading or healing while looting a body/chest and having 2 people loot one body/chest at once.
