Field Report: coquito batch beta tastes alright, but I'm guessing due to infused rum over syrup making, you absolutely loving feel the rum. Note: was blended with a Vitamix 48 oz blender.

Holy poo poo Heist mode is a cool idea. Did they hype that up before launch or anything? I feel like I don't want to play anything else now than I've discovered it

Was a week 2 beta inclusion. I think I liked it too, as did some folks who weren't onboard with Control yet.

Only played a few matches of Blackout cos I ain’t in the headspace for the sweatiness of regular MP tonight but game is good.

Altho either the netcode is off or the killcam is wonky or both, I had a couple times where the killcam showed a dude emptying half a clip at the empty space where I used to be and still getting the kill.

Matchmaking for the last few Call of Duty games appears to (mostly) be based on the location of the party leader when determining which server to go to.
As far as I know, no one has yet made a PS Community for CoD/FPS players down under, though you should probably ask in the general PS4 thread to be sure.

Hoooooly poo poo this game is fun. No server issues at launch for PC so I was impressed out of the box but after getting to fiddle around with some of the guns for a few hours and play a handful of modes I'm pretty sure I'm in the will-be-playing-this-for-its-whole-lifetime camp.

uh, what. Due to Armor and Crash's ultimate, ttk is higher in this game than previous titles. Enemies are constantly running away to live to fight another day.

Totally agree on the (new) maps being cramped though. It's like they wanted to nerf ADS/ARs/LMGs/DMRs while buffing hipfire/SMGs.
I don't care for a bunch of areas in them, or their sightlines in general. Too many right angles.

You don't buy skins, you buy boxes that may have some skins. But skins aren't the reason you need to buy boxes - you buy them to get the sick new gun that has a 0.1% chance of dropping and that everyone else on the enemy team kills you with repeatedly. The skins are just there to pad the loot table so the odds of a weapon coming out are lower.

I also noticed there is no microtransaction system in this game yet. I know that I got 2400 Kotick Bucks from buying the more money deluxe edition of the game and the game even informed me that it has been redeemed but they are nowhere to be found. I'm going to save it anyway until they add guns to the loot boxes because they always do.

I really wanted to like PUBG but the few times I played it, it was a hanky piece of poo poo with a good idea it couldn’t quite execute. I played fort nite a few times and while it was fun, I wasn’t down with the style of it or the weird construction stuff.

So here I am, actually buying a COD game again. Something I said I’d never do. And I’m actually excited!

I haven’t played COD since the original BLOPS but blackout mode sounds badass

I burnt out on PUBG cause the mid-game was dreeeaaadfully slow so I'm enjoying the change of pace here.
One thing though is loving heeeellll even with random squads players in PUBG know at least to stick together, but here?

The one thing I don't like is having healing be an action.

It was irritating enough to try and get the last bullet into someone and now I've gotta put even more into him cause he can heal in the middle of a firefight? It's frustrating.

Plus I always forget to heal.

Keep playing, you'll be surprised how quickly you get used to it. Right after the beta we went and played some IW and everyone kept mashing L1 to heal :v:

If you're overshooting your targets, turn it down. If you are getting killed before you can get your sights on an enemy, turn it up. You'll use higher sensitivity over time as you adjust to using the controller.

^ - You want your sensitivity high enough to track a target running perpendicular to you while aiming down the sights (6+).
And nobody gets good without practice. Gotta put in the hours like any other skill-based hobby. Playing with teammates helps a lot though.

Sadly, this is what it takes. Every new shooter I am like the worst ever. But after a month of constant playing, you start to see yourself in the upper half of players, and eventually in the top 5th if you keep going. You just learn all the tricks to hide, when to shoot, when to run, when to not engage and die like a dumbass. Some people can simply jump in a new game and just own all day long, but the majority cannot.

You're in luck; BLOPS 4 is BLOPS 2, but with infinite sprint and very... ahem, fluid spawn location changes.
At least in TDM and KC, anyway.
And playing with teammates goes a long way to covering mistakes or a lack of experience; easier to git gud when you aren't constantly being blindsided.
Pro tip: run Engineer, and always call out motion tracker darts, spawn beacons, dogs, and microwave walls.

Now that I found a gun that clicks with me (I do love the Titan), the game is growing on me. Thanks for whoever gave the tip to turn up/down sensitivity depending on situation.

Not impressed with the Specialist HQ. Honestly, I probably expected too much, like a light stealth campaign. Though what it actually is, a training mission for each specialist and bot matchup, I would have been fine with. But then the former has an insufferable dudebro yelling at you and the later has REALLY stupid bots, and I do not care to see if they get better at higher difficulties.
