Be Excellent To Each Other

title

It's a BR game then. You either like it or you don't.

Well, no, it was okay, but didn’t have the chance to grow into it and get involved due to not being able to play with friends; unless 4 people is an absolute max for having in one game across the entire genre for the rest of all time.

Yeah it's annoying. We have five regular PUBG players so when all of us are available someone has to miss out.

usually me

Or Dave, because he's too nice.

I've played Fortnite.

It's alright. It seems really hard to actually kill someone though.

So it's a BR game then.

So the season pass is announced and if you get the season pass you get another Zombies map on day 1 which is titled Classified

And the A in classified has a pentagon rather than the normal font so the speculation is that this will be a remake of the BLOPS1 map 'five' (set in the Pentagon)

Ran out ideas haven’t they? Tch.

Basically - and the other update from overnight is

So if you pre-order BLOPS4 you get some classic maps now for BLOPS3 ....

Oh dear.



So if you want to play any DLC you’ve got to pay for the £40 (sub price check) season pass or the £100 “special edition”.

And if the game doesn’t come with a ton of micro transactions I’ll be a monkey’s uncle.

What a shit show.

I'm just waiting for the next set of lootbox announcements and I'd much prefer to invest in Lootboxcoin instead !

(BLOPS3 / IW / WW2 all have lootboxes so I see no reason they wont have them in BLOPS4)

And no single player campaign either.

But hey at least you get some old maps to play in BLOPS3!

New Zombies trailer



And a new trailer for the next part of the original story

Anyone want a Beta code for this ?

One code in the spoiler tags go here to login and redeem it

https://support.activision.com/articles ... Ops-4-Beta

Did anyone take this?

Has the beta closed yet? If not, what are the dates for it?

I’m interested because I’ve read comments that this leans more towards Rainbow Six: Siege/PUBG tactical gameplay and the TTK has been increased. Some people were just crying like babies about the TTK but every bit of footage I’ve seen looks like more of the same.

Tasty Tart Kumquats? Tangled Testy Kangaroos? Tingly Ticklish Knees?

Time to kazoo.

Tip-Top Knitting. They've finally added realistic yarn manipulation physics but some people think it's OP.

Beta starts again this evening and runs for the weekend - if the code has not been taken you go to the Activision website and put it in and it will give you a steam / xbo / ps4 download key to grab the demo.

I got one for preordering at Amazon (which i got last week so played it at the weekend) , and got this one from the O2 app

The only modes available last week were very COD like - although no HC modes so you still have the situation where you pump bullets into them and they turn round and one shot you

Movement is still fairly fluid but no jetpacks - the grappling hook lets you move quickly but its very limited in when you can use it.

I'd say TTK (Time To Kill) is slightly higher than previous games but spawn camping is still there and one of the specialists can drop a spawn beacon - if you choose to spawn at that point then expect the enemy to be waiting for you.

Until you unlock create a class (level 6) the initial few classes and weapon setups are crap and I really did not feel like i could do very much until I hit that point - then getting a specific gun and starting to level it up to unlock sights / rapid fire / grips makes the run and gun game a lot better.

No, that doesn't sound right.

Turbocharged Talking Koalas

Your right its actually Totally Tartan Kilt

Another spare key

Just an FYI, I’ve took the first code and, yes, it was a ballache to login and get a code at all.

Many thanks to Zaphod!

I’m actually super-excited to try to BR mode tomorrow. Hey, Zaphod, I’m trying to get Myp to download the beta but this code isn’t working (and it’s not showing as being redeemed either - just it doesn’t recognise it). Is it still possible for you to check whether it’s extant?

Also, I should be on this tomorrow for BR if you want to play duos or, if we can get a third, squads!

Bumping this to see if Zaphod comes online!

Wow, erm, it’s kinda good. Smooth as silk at 60FPS, plays like a CoD without the ridiculous aim assist and also like a PUBG without the jank. Colour me impressed so far.

The vehicles are pretty good too. There’s a helicopter in here (not that I could find one)!

Found my first zombies knocking about in a town too! Great stuff.

Glad you're enjoying it

Anyone want to play the Battle Royale beta on PS4?

Team up with me and Myp (if you want).

Ewww..PlunkBlops.

Well, I got my chicken dinner on the Blackout mode. That’ll save me buying it on release. Take that Activision.

Winnah!

Got dragged through it by your superior teammate again! Was hoping it was a solo effort.

Gerroutta here. I got more kills and we both went down once.

I do like this new Call of Duty though, a lot. There’s RC cars for scanning the area, trip mines, moveable barriers to deploy, hiding in the grass, ATVs, trucks, boats, helicopters, healing on the move, massive areas to explore etc etc. There’s loads crammed in here. The movement is great, it’s smooth, feels nice to play and so on.

It’s not just a tacked on BR mode. It feels fleshed out and new and funky.

It felt like CoD rips off PUBG to me.

Meh. Like Fortnight and the other BR modes that other games now have? If it’s done well and differently enough then I’ve no problem with it. I consider this BR mode to be very good and well worth a go.

Fortnite at least tries to differentiate itself by being cartoony and less serious. This is just exactly what I expected it to be. A po-faced CoD does PUBG. There's nothing original about it.

Po-faced? It has zombies, monkey bombs, other daft weapons and the vehicles handle like Halo.

Not in the game I played it didn't!

Sorry - Satsuma - on holiday when this came out - i did get a few quick matches on Sunday night when i came back but that was it - and by that point i was a total newb and everyone else seemed to know exactly what they were doing :-)

Will give the mode more of a try when the full game comes out.

Damn shame, it was bloody enjoyable. Plus I got me another chicken dinner.

And I get chased by a monster.

No single player, no purchase.

I’ve already got a couple of chicken dinners but I really liked it and would probably pick it up if there were plans for more & free maps for the BR mode but I guess any additional content will be hidden behind a £50 season pass (or however much it’s going for. Something daft no doubt).

Down to £41 on PSN.

Tempted but I’m going to get it on Xbox. It’s holding it’s bloody price though. Tch.
