retroed Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Blackout is Call of Duty's battle royale mode. It'll have traditional MP as well. No single player campaign, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisturbedSwan Posted September 12, 2018 Author Share Posted September 12, 2018 I can’t get on with Blackout at all, it is fucking horrendous. Granted I only played 5-10 solo games last night whilst jet lagged but it just seemed such a poor PUBG imitation to me. The map is dull as dishwater and the historic locales that dot the map do little to inspire or excite. The shooting is typically good in the usual CoD way but it isn’t enough to save it. I definitely won’t be picking up CoD again this year. I think the price tag is a hindrance too. Sure you’re getting MP and Zombies in with it for £40 but it’s competitors are £25 and free respectively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duck Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 The last COD i bought was MW2 i think.. But I've played about 5 rounds of Blackout. It's good, especially the UI compared to the other console BR games. The perk pick up thing is a nice idea for BR games as well. Would I pay full price for it? No. On sale? Sure. But it's a very polished, solid, military BR game on consoles which we haven't seen before. PUBG should be pretty worried. Battlefield over to you...

DisturbedSwan Posted September 13, 2018 Author Share Posted September 13, 2018 I've got 3 Blackout Blops 4 beta codes to give away by the way. If anyone wants one PM me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambob Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 I also have three, but you cant fucking have any of them. Pm Blakey if you want any of mine too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambob Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Don't know if it's just going back to console shooter or what but this is shit and I am not enjoying it at all. I can never see a player and I can't hit them for shit, after only about an hour I'm dying to get back to PC pubg. Will try the pc beta and see what's what but I'm disappointed because this looked amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambob Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Few more games, love the additional shit added to the genre bit finding it hard to see anyone and lining up a shot if I ever do is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroed Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 I've only played one solo game on the Xbox so far, finished 9th. I really like it. Blops 4 is shaping up to be a fantastic package. I have codes for PS4 and Xbox One. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 It's not that fantastic a package, it's not got a single player campaign I don't mean that trollingly, just there is a pretty big hole in it this year 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroed Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 I'd much rather have those resources put into the part that matters. I'm going to be playing two out of the three parts this time around. Still not interested in Zombies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 what happened with the single player anyway? I remember them hinting that it might come later but no one has mentioned that since E3, so has it just been completely written off this year (unless it bombs, then it'll get Street Fighter 5ed in)?

retroed Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 There is supposed to be a solo aspect at some point, focusing on each of the characters in the MP. I don't know what this will be, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisturbedSwan Posted September 15, 2018 Author Share Posted September 15, 2018 Yeah, have to concur with @DANGERMAN it's not really a great package for me. They're using the extended Zombies mode and Blackout to cover up for the fact that they couldn't make a decent SP/Co-Op campaign, it's inexcusable I'm afraid. If you like Blackout then fair play but it's just not enough for me personally to replace a decent SP/Co-Op campaign, it's just making you pay the same amount of money (more if you want the season pass stuff that is tied to the legendary edition or whatever its called) for less content overall. I never bought WWII either but that was for different reasons, I love CoD MP and Zombies don't get me wrong but veggies with no meat is no fine dinner. If the Battle Royale was amazing that would negate a lot of the negativity but it is just a poor PUBG imitation to me personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmmark Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Why is it even called a black ops game if they never intended to release a campaign for it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroed Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 @wiivo 2.0 In addition, the game includes a Solo Missions mode featuring skill-based missions that contain backstories on various Specialists in the game. The missions are set within the same narrative world of the Black Ops campaigns, between the events of Black Ops II and Black Ops III. source: Wikipedia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sambob Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Cancelled pre-order, had six in a row unfun games, just didn't click with it. Felt too muddy and murky and I've been out of the cod loop for a good five years or so now so the gameplay feels very alien. Might check the PC version if they make some changes for the release but it just makes me want to play pubg and I was hoping it would have the opposite effect.

DisturbedSwan Posted October 9, 2018 Author Share Posted October 9, 2018 Black Ops 4 requires a 50GB day 1 patch for disc users - entire digital game is approx. 50GB Quote If you have the physical version of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, expect to download a mammoth day one update. Disc users have to download and install the day one update for Treyarch's first-person shooter, Activision warned. The day one update is roughly 50GB. This day one update must be installed completely to play multiplayer, zombies and specialist headquarters. But Blackout, the battle royale mode, is playable once installation is about 30 per cent complete (16-20GB). Activision said "for an optimised download experience", you should have 112GB of free hard-drive space. This isn't the size of the download, rather, it's the amount of space needed to complete the installation. The final installation footprint, as it's called, is around 55GB. If you're downloading and installing digital copies of Black Ops 4, the day one version is roughly 55GB. So there you have it. If you're buying Black Ops 4 on disc, pop it in and pop the kettle on - you've got a big download to get through before you can play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
