Call of Duty Black ops 4 (PC)

Played my first 10 Blackout games, got 3 kills in total, I'm depressed lol. This is my first BR game but I expected it to be easier.

At least it runs okish at low settings, getting 70-100 fps with my ageing system.

Loving normal multiplayer, and i hated all other in the series after COD4.
Only played one round of zombies, need to lern whats what.
One game of blackout so far was a duos game ,already a better game than PUBG although i not a huge BR fan.
For me MP is where its all.

You might be better off starting with the specialists tutorials to get a feel for the mechanics, then move onto the free for all skirmish. I feel like I have improved loads by doing this. Then jump into the BR mode once you know how the perks etc work.

Apparently they used 60htz servers for the beta and now use 20htz. Explains why the game feels so inconsistent.

Thanks, I'll try this before playing Blackout again. I jumped straight into Blackout without knowing how any of the perks/attachments work, running around scared wondering what I should be doing until I got shot in the back

You have never played a BR game before and expected to start owning everyone straight away ? Patience padawan.

I didn't expect to start owning but I was expecting to win a few more firefights, my tracking seems to be terrible so far. It's time for some FFA/TDM to fix that

I have given my WiiU to my 6yr old, and as I was setting it up for him I noticed I had Black Ops 2, I thought I would just pop it on and see it still had servers online, too my amazement there was over 500 players playing, and the WiiU version of Black Ops 2 looks graphically better than this... how on Earth is that even possible?

wow, thank you so much, followed the steps and the game is running sweeeeeeeeeeet! Thanks!

well it was and now it isn't again. In Blackout the performance is terrible again. No idea what to do now.

Quake Champions all over again. :/

I was planning to get BOPS4 this week but after seeing that. I'm not so keen now. It's not fun in Quake Champions.

I've played more multiplayer than blackout. The fast revives, people being bullet sponges in blackout, in particular with AC and the fast healing makes random squad games almost unplayable at times. They badly need to nerf the armor, slow the healing, slow the revives and lower the damage it takes to kill a knocked player. You regularly get squads moving round in such close proximity, that it's as if one of the enemy players sometimes will bait you to knock them just to reveal your position knowing you're very unlikely to knock more than him or another and not be able to kill. At worst, they lose most of there ac and that's it. Back to full health in seconds still with some AC. Pubg has a much better system in that respect as does fortnite.

not sure when you played last but the healing and revives take longer now, healing isnt quite so easy to find although still needs a tone down imo but its going in the right direction, i suspect joining with randoms might be the reason you got toasted, it needs good teamwork to win but there's nothing wrong with that.

I'll play Blackout when the hit-reg is consistent again, and not dipping to 20hz. MP on the other hand is very good. Spitfire with the operator mod dominates.

Played beta then regularly this last week or so. You're probably right. Solo gets boring though.

Is there a way to see how many hours we have on record?
