Call of Duty Black ops 4 (PC)

Hmm, the code I got was in this format: XXXX-XXXXX-XXXX . I tried with and without dashes, even tried typing it in instead of copy and pasting with no luck. Tried 3 different browsers and they all say its an incorrect code.

Asus are useless and the email link they give to contact should there be a problem just bounces back. Activision said the code went though and I should get a code in 20 days, but the code I just received was supposed to be the code that could take 20 days... It seems after googling there are a few others having an issue and Activision support are giving different answers to everyone, so i'm not very hopeful at all.

Sorry to hear that.

Where did you buy your card from?

I once bought a mobo with a promo on. Paid around £450 from the rain forest site and it was supposed to come with a free key for assassins creed black flag that I intended to sell to recover £30. It came in a scratch card style format and had to remove the foil. Much to my horror and entertainment once I had scratched the foil away there was no key underneath.

I contacted the rain forest about this and they offered me a 30% refund to recover the cost of the game so ended up getting WAY more than the £30 I wanted.

Not guaranteeing you can get similar treatment but I would certainly push for a part refund from wherever you bought it.

Wow, thats awesome. I should start complaining more, I tend to just forget about things like this as they were supposed to be 'free' anyway, so just let it go.

I'm just going to wait for the 20 days to pass and then contact Activision again, then go from there.

was about to post this lol
 
:D I can’t belive I am genuinely excited to play a call of duty game!

Feels alien to me :D

Also for those who may not have watched the 30min video

Blackout is being limited to 120fps for a few days for further server testing, it will be progressively raised over the coming days/weeks.

I still don't technically understand why local FPS has any relevance to server side config!

I belive it is to do with data sent : data received. The more frames you push the more data you send and the server needs to be able to cope with it.

But my knowledge is limited.

I thought that's why you had tick rates, rather than this linked to FPS. Who knows!

The tick rate on blackout is super low sadly (10 or 20hz iirc) I think that’s the issue, they need to make sure the amount of frames doesn’t deteriorate the experience
 
First impressions, Dayum she runs well.
Just playing through the Specialist training missions as I'm rusty to the CoD universe.

Going to take some dialing in of the keybindings as I don't use a keyboard.
So far so good though.

No, one of these;

I don't know how anyone uses a keyboard, these things fit like a glove in the left hand.

Do we have a release patch notes? Changes to blackout etc?

None that I have seen, Read that the armor has been nerfed in blackout vs the beta.
Feels like ttk has dropped, like less than it was but still more than Blops 3 (in regular multi)
 
I Hate call of duty … its a derivative , rehashed pile of garbage , and for once I cant wait to play it ! .

Tbh the only reason I am buying the game is because of blackout . MP for me will be try and see as weapon balancing is siding towards close quarter action as all the previous games have done. Zombies never interest me but again try and see.

For once , I am happy with what the PC version brings to the table especially as when I tried the beta it was head and shoulders above PUBG in gameplay , performance and even graphics ( although the latter is subjective for most I talk to )

Did they confirm they would be starting at 120hz/120fps cap and then looking to unlock down the line when they've analysed ?
 
Been playing it for a while. Zombies is good fun, only played one online game of it with an ex and her bf ( he was somewhat salty upon me killing a zombie with my knife in round 1 for ks despite it chasing me )...... guess it's something else that's bothering him????????

only had a couple games of blackout feels good but struggling to hit 120fps on the bigger map.

Had to lower my settings to minimum and res scale down to 60 (1080p native) to get it to really smooth frame rates in normal and zombies (1050ti) can't wait until my new gpu gets in! Might be able to push my 240hz screen to it's limits.

Yes they did. They will be progressively raising the frame cap as mentioned somewhere in this video by one of the developers.
