i'm definitely in the minority but black ops 4 blackout does not interest me at all. the other multiplayer yes. there are issues there but i'm excited for the traditional mp. for those of you who don't know, treyarch are adding a battle royale mode (like fortnite and pubg) to call of duty black ops 4.
the trailer looks very impressive and exciting, can't knock it there. thing is, i don't like battle royale game modes and here is why.
- i don't like any multiplayer game modes that do not have respawns. i know a lot of players like it because the risk is higher and makes it more stressful and "exciting". i just think it makes it more boring, frustrating and causes people to camp a lot.
- temporary random loot sucks. so you only have one life and you are at the mercy of the RNG loot system in order to kit yourself out. so need to find armor, health packs, good guns and ammo. so you won't necessarily be able to play with what you want. having a create-a-class system or another form of choose-a-loadout is much better.
- only one map. yeah the map is "big" and there is lots of variety in geometry, you'll still be playing on the same environment (aesthetically). the same theme, weather conditions etc. gets old fast.
- solo player problem. i can see how this could be fun with a couple of friends, dropping in together, watching each other's backs and rolling in on a chopper. but i'm mostly a solo player since most of my friends either went to playstation, fortnite or battlefield. battle royale solo is crap.
- games take too long. if you actually try and win, a game take way too long for me. i prefer 5 to 10 minute matches.
- the illusion of progression. since you don't unlock weapons, equipment or abilities in battle royale and you also don't have weapon unlocks/leveling, there is no real progression. like fortnite, you can have a level and unlock skins but who gives a damn about that.
- bullet physics. you can stick to hit scan snipers since it wont work with people sniping you from across this huge map, so the have to add bullet drop which sucks, is really dependent on connection and is simply fucking annoying.
- lag. i'm from south-africa. we don't have the best internet connection en we hardly ever get game servers here. that is why cod has always been great to me since it can default to p2p, you can have a minimal lag game and don't need a server. blackout can't work like this and will be dedicated server only, which means my connection will be to a server in europe somewhere at best. no thanks
it's just me i guess, eh. at least they don't have building
