Does anyone think pubg is better game overall?

Not enjoying this at all, just seems like cod on a bigger map.

Yet it does everything better then pubg.

Went in not bothered about the game but now want to grab it Day one...

This mode gets rid of the annoyances I have from PUBG. Looking forward to it!

PUBG is a far better game IMO.

But COD: Blackout just works, even in beta form.

PUBG is pretty shonky still, even at version 1.0. The frame rate is terrible compared to BLOPS 4

I so wish I hated this game mode then I wouldn't be tempted to buy it. I'm finding it fun because it's not like a regular run around like a headless chicken COD multiplayer match. I have to check my surroundings, make decisions on whether I should engage the enemy or stalk them until I get a better opportunity all the while wondering if I'm also been stalked and watched from afar.

I'm still debating whether it's worth buying it just for this game mode, anyone else in the same boat?

Nope. I still won't be getting the game. I don't like Zombies or BR so I'm paying £50 just for MP.

VincentHanna · 17 Sep 2018 at 10:05

Yep, I wouldn't play any other mode as COD isn't usually my thing.

Some of the perks you pick up (or whatever they call them) seems a bit useless though. Like 'Dead Silence' is great but 'Brawler' is rubbish

Played the beta myself on my X and got to say its dreadful.

After playing Pubg and fortnight it seems very shallow and far from finished.

Dreadful, really? I think it was superb for a beta. I had a great laugh finally playing with some friends last night on quads.

Yeah dreadful, felt really shallow like a mobile game.

Have you played the competition ?

I wont be playing it anyway, i will stick to the standard mode.

I've cancelled my pre-order, it's nowhere near as good as Pubg.

The frame rate might be decent, but the graphics are like an Xbox 360 game.

Another garbage release. Back to pubg for me.

I've been playing Fortnite for the past 6 months and I found Blackout a breath of fresh air. I could never get into PUBG, I didn't find it remotely entertaining, it also gets such an awful rep I have no reason to try it again.

VincentHanna · 17 Sep 2018 at 17:13

See, i'm the opposite.

Fortnite runs wonderfully, but I hate the building aspect. Give me PUBG gameplay on Xbox One X with Fortnite performance/polish (4k/60hz) and i'll be made up.

I enjoy Blackout, but haven't had the heart in mouth moments you get in PUBG, even when it's been down to the wire (me vs 1 other player)

VincentHanna · 19 Sep 2018 at 07:43

Cheers,

It’s a bit better than £50 but was hoping to find him one closer to the £32 I paid for pc. Maybe 38-40 for console.

Will keep my eyes peeled.

Thanks again!

£44.85 at Simplygames. It's where I get all my games from.

No wonder Blackout runs like absolute arse. And you will ALWAYS receive damage from somebody no matter how high their ping is so you will get shot when you are very far behind cover :eek:

Davanius · 20 Sep 2018 at 16:09

I saw that video earlier couldn't believe that they think 10Hz is good enough for such a large map with so many players.

Shocking.

Andybtsn · 20 Sep 2018 at 17:01

It's a relief everyone has great internet nowadays then eh?
