I wonder how fast the gun balance will turn into a complete clusterfuck like it did in Bloops 3? The only thing I can use in that game and do well is the Haymaker or the Brecci.

Crafting is a great new feature to the Call of Duty formula that keeps weapons fresh and exciting, while also giving players another goal to strive for!

Destiny 2 is great on PC, Battle.net keeps the hackers out. Treyarch’s PC CODs used friggin VAC and they managed to deal with the hackers, unlike IW (no anticheat for the first 3-4 months) and WW2 (no anticheat in the beta, SH took a few months to ban the hackers).

So some (or all) shotguns in BLOPS4 have a secret Dragon’s Breath perk which is unlocked by attaching a number of wildcards to the weapon.

Shotguns are back, baby. :getin:

Also all the weapons are now shown/listed here.

There looks to be a lot of doorways in this game. There's deployable cover and barbed wire so I imagine you could have a lot of fun with that.

Treyarch said they’re aware of the OP SMGs and they’re going to tweak them. Hopefully they nerf them without making them useless.

DF posted their analysis of the beta:
- Lots of cool lighting/water/tessellation post-effects
- Dynamic res of 960x1080 - 1920x1080 (PS4) and 960x2160 - 3840x2160 (Pro)
- PS4 framerate between 40-60, Pro between 50-60

tl;dr - game still needs tweaking for stable frames, even with dynamic res.

i'm only like level 30 in the beta and i haven't played a cod since like mw2 but yeah it is super loving aggravating feeling like i mostly exist to be the target of some c-lister YouTube montage. the hitreg on snipers is way too forgiving, the ohk boxes are nuts, and the fact a sniper can still shoot you perfectly while tagging him with shots is nuts.

This has been a problem with COD since Black Ops 2. Snipers have zero flinch and the developers refuse to implement it for some reason.

The game is on dedicated servers, they just happen to be held together with duct-tape. That gives it the P2P feel of experiencing a different connection every match!

When Destiny 2 came out on PC, Warden (Blizzard’s anticheat) banned over 30,000 hackers on Day 1. It’s not like VAC which will only ban people when the developers feel like it.

At least they don't have a laser gun that has more damage the higher the fps I guess. Really looking forward to see how they handle looting on the PC.

Kind of weird to do a beta and cap it though. That's one of the things you'd want to test for before launch surely, especially since all the PC marketing was like UNCAPPED FPS WE PROMISE

Treyarch has a pretty good track record so I have faith in them not messing up the PC version. I don’t think they’ve had any framerate related issues. I’m thinking this is something to do with the networking.

My not helpful recommendation are the Phillips SHP9500 headphones, semi-open and pretty much 0 bass, so it's perfect for MLG PRO TRY HARDING.

The price is all out of whack now since they're discontinued, and only available at a semi-decent price via Aliexpress.

I bought them when they like $70 on Amazon and they're amazing. I wouldn't say they have 0 bass, though, they have more then enough bass for sound whoring in COD.

PUBG’s numbers dipped very slightly during the beta, but it’s in no danger of dying. I don’t know if someone said it here already, but I could see the Xbone version dying once this comes out. That version is laughable.

I don’t expect any meaningful updates or additions to blackout. Fortnite and pubg are single products that constantly update but call of duty is an annual $60 product. Blackout updates are gonna end in about 10 months when next years call of duty with its own battle royale mode gets close to release.

I don’t see activision breaking off the br mode into its own product when they’ve never done that with the multiplayer or zombies.

BO3 received its last update this past July, there’s no precedent for what you think will happen.
