Has there been any footage/explanations of their battle royale mode?

Soulja · 27 Aug 2018 at 10:32

No, but the beta starts in just over a week iirc.

If anyone has a spare Beta code (PS4 or Xbox) id be very grateful.

I believe o2 Priority customers are able to get them

Considering they can't make 6v6 run properly, how are they going to make 80 people work?

d0ct0r46 · 9 Sep 2018 at 11:04

This will be interesting to see. If they nail it it has the potential to be an amazing br game, maybe the best one yet??

I think they have their work cut out. Going from small maps and player counts to this.....mmm, I really hope they can pull it off.

Maybe get a better connection, I've had countless number of stable games.

Only via pre-order the game?

Lol, the problems CoD has are well documented, it’s no matter your connection.

Hoping for great things from Blackout - I'm sceptical but any competition to sway me away from Fortnite is a good thing. Looking forward to playing the beta tonight.

That has got to be the most annoying response anybody could ever give. A good connection means absolutely NOTHING in COD.
COD has played like absolute crap since MW2. I've gone from a connection of 8 down/0.5 up to now where I have 70 down/20 up and the game plays WORSE now.
I can literally only play the game in Hardcore as Core is too frustrating.

O2 priority, but never mind I forgot my work phone was o2 so have signed up.

No code has come through yet though!

You can buy a beta code for 55p on Kinguin.

What a horrendous practise, but I'm tempted

Netcode on Cod has been horrendous for the last few iterations. Can't see this being any different.

The BR mode looks quite good in the trailer. Dedicated non potato servers and it could tempt me, however the rest of the MP looks pants.

I'm one of those "BR modes" are free kind of people, especially as the BF5 BR mode seems to be a free addition

Wilko_Dog · 10 Sep 2018 at 18:36

just watched ign's video of the br beta mode, just looks like a polished version of pubg

Stone Mountain just streamed BR beta, won his first match with a 1 kill victory. It looks fairly decent tbh.

I don't think you pay extra for Blackout? Isn't it just included as part of the Blops4 package?
Then BF5 is adding there's into the game, which you still need to own to access it etc

Maybe I've got the wrong end of the stick - I was under the impression that the battlefield 5 BR mode was going "free" without a requirement for purchasing the base game.

I also understand that the CoD BR mode is included within £40 quid standard price, however I believe it should be "free" outside of the 40 quid purchase. That's the way the BR market has been driven to so far, so it will be interesting to see if the industry can bring it back from that current viewpoint
