The only thing in Blackout worse than dropping into an area that should have weapons but doesn't, is successfully choosing a landing site with loads of good equipment and perks, no enemies, and no backpacks anywhere to be found. And then finding 4 backpacks in a single house in the next game.
Isn't it ironic? Don't you think?

Note to self: trust Secretagentman's instincts in Blackout. Yeah, maybe we will be the first to hit those buildings on this side of the river. But it probably won't be worth it as the circle collapses and everyone else on this side of the river thinks the same thing and demolishes us when we attempt to exit said buildings.

Inadvertently getting stuck in a pincer manuver between about 3 other teams isn't as exciting as it sounds
This happened a couple of days ago, but still is worth recounting:
Blackout, final circle, 1 teammate and me against one other dude. I bum rush the other guy and get knocked down. My teammate finally pushes and gets in a gunfight with the remaining enemy before I can get fully killed. They end up trading kills and so...I stand up and we get the Victory! Apparently you win if you are the last player, even if you're bleeding out.
I'm really pleased that they've put a lot of time and effort into fixing BLOPS 4's issue, such as the terrible spawns, before implementing ridiculous microtransactions like $20 for two weapon skins.
Oh...
Every match being a rubberband fest, and the horrible spawns last night led to me saying fuck it and finishing all the specialist HQ "missions". I bet this game could've have a pretty sweet campaign if Activision hadn't shitcanned it. Though, what info you can get from the cutscenes is a bit confusing. Blondie science lady and I assume robo-jaw are both Mason Jr's daughters I think? Blondie McScience is a robotics expert or something and I think sets up the black ops team to get fucked in a trap so she can make her super-robo soldiers, but then the specialists are hunted by blond lady for reasons. I'm pretty sure most of the specialists in BLOPS 3 were still government agents though, so I dunno.
Anyway, coulda been the Overwatch campaign I've always wanted. Action set pieces where you hop around as the different characters playing missions tailored to their abilities. The onboarding missions were ok-ish. They ranged from super cringe in Ajax's to fun wacky stuff like Recon. More missions should've been like Recon's actually. The whole thing turned into a surprise zombie outbreak, which was neat.
Everyone has a price. Throw enough gold around and someone will risk disintegration.
I never thought I could hate Nuketown, until I played Nuketown in hardcore... Never thought I would vote against Nuketown in the map rotation, but man do I try to avoid that map like the plague now. Still love the map in general, but not when you can die from one hit of pretty much anything.
Everyone has a price. Throw enough gold around and someone will risk disintegration.
Nuketown was always a grind of instant death bullshit, this one's no different. Locking down the entire other team for the duration with a couple nvir Titans is some brutal nonsense. It's an alright map for a blast of bullshit every once in a while but its always been a bad map that was alright every once in a while for some bullshit.
Also I prestiged last night and unlocked the abr to finish off the last couple challenges and get diamond on the tactical rifles, then remembered that to unlock enough primary gunfighter wildcards to do the last challenge (50 kills with an optic + 5 attachments) I need to hit lvl 34 or something anyway so I guess I wasted that unlock token. Oh well.
I feel weird about Nuketown; I thought I'd hate a tiny map, but honestly I can hang out in the middle and I feel less prone to being suddenly flanked or back-spawned if I'm paying attention to who is where and who is dying where.

I came to this conclusion last night while playing Hardpoint. Once you get the rotation down you can predict player movement pretty easily. Definitely prefer it over Shipment.
Yeah. I know that there's always going to be a "best gun" in a game with so many; I try not to get too upset about it.
However, when you're stuck in Nuketown and everyone on the other team is running Titans and/or a Hades with a crossbar... it gets old REAL fast...
I would like to note my 45-6 was on Seaside, not Noobtown.
Seaside can be absolutely ridiculous against an inexperienced team. I've had a couple of 25 or 30 to 4 matches on there. Not to be confused with 25 or 6 to 4, though I should listen to that while playing sometime.
Had a hardcore kill confirmed on there where I was running UAV, Care Package and CUAV. I dropped back into the higher spawn area to call in a care package. Ended up getting so many assist points from the UAVs and kills from the care package that the streaks chained back around enough that I called in 3 care packages without ever moving. The match mercifully ended right after the last package gave me another Thresher. (With Engineer rerolls)
This chaos hardpoint mode, it shouldn't give you any points at all unless 3 teammates are on the point. I'm so tired of seeing people with like 50 Time points at the end of a 1000-800 match. But hey they have 20k damage, so, helping?

So last night I got 5 other people and we rolled into that game mode; we won our first match 1000 - 280(ish). They never played the point. The second game we played was closer but we discovered that the true secret of that game mode is to leave enough people to hold a point, but have someone floating near possible next point locations to grab the next one quick. It's a fun mode, so long as your team is playing it well (probably more so than other objective based modes, only because it's SO mobile and goes on for 1000 points).
Ok guys, sorry to just nuke this thread with a rando but here is the deal.
Some of you don't know me, some of you do. Some of you have forgotten me because I'm a forgettable person.
But I just watched a clip of this game and it looks disturbingly like CODBLOPS1 and CODBLOPS1 was my favourite of all the CODs.
Is this the Second Coming? Did they nerf Ghost just right? Have I missed the ticket to Heaven, and should I buy another one? Please tell me I need to know.

I dunno if it's the second coming, but it is a pretty good CoD game. It's up there, but I don't think anything will ever beat BLOPS 2/MW3 for me.
Ghost is the most worthless perk now, as it only works when you're sprinting.
The battle royale mode is pretty solid if you like that as well, and Zombies is pretty good too. And I normally despise zombies, so that's saying something. Loot boxes are gone in favor of a Fortnite style battlepass system that is both better and worse than the supply drop system. It's better, because the big free battlepass is a neat thing to grind and get little goodies. Worse because $20 for the privilege of grinding out two weapon skins? Fuck that...

Also I don't know if its just me but trying to get headshots with the hades is an exercise in frustration.
Prestiging weapons isn't bad at all if you want some extra XP while doing a general prestige. Attachments and sights all unlock pretty quickly, and you work toward all sorts of prestige calling cards.
Working on my Mog12 camos; I did the 50 kills with 5 attachments first (optic, double barrel, double reload) and all that practice is making it fairly easy, honestly, to do 50 kills with 0 attachments. I thought that'd be torture.

Hardcore is the answer to all camo woes. For no attachments, just run lightweight+gung-ho, dead silence, and engineer (the only worthwhile perks IMO). Just do laps around the edges of the map and occasionally pull the trigger when you seen an enemy. You never even have to stop sprinting, it's awesome.
I hated doing the 50 kills with 5 attachments one. I had to dump all my perks, and everyone could hear my big mongoloid feet stomping everywhere.

I figured out that the optic counts as a fifth attachment, so I was able to run dead silence plus acoustic sensor. I just played Domination and hung out in smaller areas. Went pretty quickly, and I did the same thing for no attachments after all the practice.
Hardcore with a shotgun felt like cancer, bullets everywhere.

Nuketown was already there, so it must have been something else, right?

Constantly overshooting my aim and it’s really starting to piss me off.
There is aim assist that you can turn on or off in the options. The default is on though.

That was fun as hell but it almost felt unfair. Got a lot of angry messages from the other team.

I am terrible at this game, as I am with all console FPS', but I'm enjoying the hell out of it.
