Just a heads up for anyone wanting access tonight, link your blizzard account to your twitch account and watch an hour of Ninja, Shroud, Summit1G or TimTheTatman’s stream and you get granted early access.

Done and confirmed working, no code or anything to enter, it just lets you in after about 1hr 15mins.

Edit; but I did already have an old beta installed, maybe if you have no blops 4 on battlenet already you will get e-mailed a code after 1hr.

Nice. Tried getting it on Xbox but MS are having some issues or something according to Activision Twitter. I'll let the Doc run in the background for a bit.

lo just put it to minimal quality mute it and close the window after one hour.

Movement feels really weird to me?!? says 60fps but feels like 20 fps? mouse smoothing? movement smoothing? graphics are crap though hate the colours they are awful

played 2 battles, not sure I can be bothered to play anymore

i lasted 3 games uninstalled.

Watched Doc for nearly an hour and a half and still got no access. Oh well, had a few games on Xbox.

Surprised to see many hating it I quite like the look of it.
Maybe it is trash i'll see.

Scottland · 14 Sep 2018 at 23:11

Got access by leaving twitch on while grabbing some food. Played a couple of games but seems really dull. Maybe the other MP modes will be better, but Blackout/Battle Royale feels like a rushed knock off.

booyaka · 14 Sep 2018 at 23:25

yeah - it's "ok" but the graphics/colours etc look horrendous. Kind of cartoon like.

Played a couple of games, will do a few more with some pals tomorrow but initially not a great fan.

Some people will dislike it because it's Call of Duty, some people will have a more personal dislike towards it because they don't like something(s) about the game.

Make your own judgement.

early days but i really like it. Makes me feel a little light-headed though...must be the CoD bob when running which is maybe amplified due to the open areas. PLays very well though i think.

A lot of these streamers seem to be......lacking something to say the least.

It looks like minecraft, surely these are not the high textures, a potato could run it.
Enjoy it however, it plays fast, as expected, it is cod.

I just might......buy it :eek:

thanks to the BFV delay.

I was interested in purchasing until I watched the stream. I didn't realize before that it was going to be so noob'tastic/arcade-like on PC.

1. Damage markers show you where people are firing from.
2. You hear a clank sound if you hit someones armor.
3. A ridiculous armor icon appears over your cross-hair if you hit someones armor.
4. Arrows on your screen periphery point to where your teammates are.
5. Super-fast movement speed, like twice as fast as PUBG etc.
6. Throwing axes.
7. Grappling hooks that launch you 100 meters.
8. Zombies, talk about beating a dead horse with a dead horse.
9. Extremely annoying arrows pointing down at loot, like people are blind.
10. Being able to jump on 8 foot tall shipping containers from the ground.
11. Huge muzzle flash graphics blocking your aim while firing.
12. Freezing you in place while looting.

I couldn't think of one thing it does better than PUBG. Blackout reminds me of a Quake Battle Royale.

was watching someone stream it yesterday and at one point near the start of a round he was fighting someone who was jumping all over the place and it looked retarded as hell because of how fast they move.

seems dolphin diving in the air is the close range gun fight meta

thecremeegg · 15 Sep 2018 at 12:20

3 games for me before I uninstalled. It looks truly horrendous for a 2018 game and it runs almost as badly. As for everything else, the inventory system is hopeless, the guns all feel the same and it's just a bad imitation of PUBG.

Oh ya I forgot about that one. There is no leaning, but there are people diving/sliding around like they are on ice every few seconds. So silly.
