Yeah manual health is a terrible idea. Works in Blackout but has no place in MP.

I cannot emphasis enough how awful these specialists make the game. Most of this Foxtroting garbage has no counter, you just die because some dipshit happened to have enough specialist meter. It's like the specialists are here to do everything in there power to discourage solo play. IW5k is gonna hate me for this, but it's almost not worth playing the objective as a solo player.
Spawn trapping is beyond atrocious, you can thank map design for that.
Team balancing is awful, but that goes without saying.
The shotguns in this game force you to play a stealthy play style but guess what? True stealth isn't possible because Vonderhaar is a interesting fellow. You can't suppress shotguns which would be a godsend because you'd actually be able to flank.
You know what the best part of manual health regen is? Firebreak's reactor core. It LITERALLY prevents manual health regen for an extended period of time. Balance.
Sniper Rifles have no aim assist. You can imagine how fun it is using them on these claustrophobic clusterFoxtrot maps. They don't even give you anywhere to use them, and they wonder why people try to railgun.
Everyone loves Ruin's gravity spikes. Because nothing says skill quite like gravity spiking a dom point. You totally earned that kill.
Am I having fun? Yes. Is this game stupid? Absolutely.

Treyarch is best dev, it's just not saying a whole lot.
With IW 'reforming' maybe we'll get a good MW4? (lol 'sif)

BO3 had no sniper aim assist. I think that's a Treyarch thing.

It's the nature of the game mode that if you're camped out and waiting for stragglers you have the advantage.

UGHHHHHHH I was out this weekend, haven't bought the game yet. I have been reading this reviews word by word.... I've never not gotten a CoD since like forever. I'm on the fence. Red Dead Redemption comes out the 26th, that is kind of luring me in right now.....

Supply drops will for sure be coming sooner or later. This is Activision we’re talking about after all.

here are some ramblings
others have already mentioned the atrocious spawns.. lost count of the times an entire team will spawn behind (myself + teammates) or I will spawn all alone in a pack of enemies
what is the point of these streak warnings if the second they are heard.. the streaks already landed on you
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, FIX THE FUCKING SOUND. joke that dead silence is a mandatory, but more importantly impossible to figure out where folks are running. the sound never matches where an enemy should be. better yet, why am I hearing my teammate across the map. the best is I will hear a UAV flying about, but nothing is there lol
certain specialists need a massive nerf.. the canine pathing makes no sense, and has far to much hp. legit impossible to kill. 9bang is not OP in the least. only leaves you unable to move for 5 seconds.
I will hit people point blank with rockets and it does nothing
rampart was by far my fav weapon in the beta.. its near useless now. not sure what happened
honestly only one gun (maddox) is consistently earning kills

Yeah audio is inconsistent. Sometimes I can hear people really far away and other times some guy right behind me was running around without dead silence and I didn't hear anything. I feel like outside in a clear area it works but once you throw in buildings or go inside it goes haywire.
Also the dogs are ridiculous. Can they actually be killed? I've never been able to do it. They're bullet sponges.
As usual the first few weeks will have growing pains, I imagine most of this will get fixed.

Direct hit with rocket launcher kills the doggy. Or maybe they had been weakened by the time the for to me?

I haven't bought it yet and my interest goes down with every review.

Every COD has spawn issues. I bet they will fix it, they usually do.
I think this is one of the best COD's in a while, even with its faults, which are always present in every COD particularly in the beginning. How many COD's have we all not bitched about the spawns, the shotguns, the lag, the specialists, and on and on.
Particularly if you liked PUBG, Blackout is loads of fun and a welcome new addition. It could be its own full price game, honestly (if they made some more maps for it).

will say, spawns are slowly improving and the more you move aka not camp, the less of an issue it becomes
its nice to see them have an active presence on reddit, actually responding and explaining the changes they are making/will make
not even a week old, and compared to previous releases the future does look bright

12hrs played. - First 3arc CoD game I cannot complain about maps. - Additional stuff like wires adds thinking to dat old simple fps. I really like BO4 so far.

I wish you could look more with the grapple gun while flying. Like the old Quake II red laser grappling hook thing... nostalgia. Although that would probably be a little game breaking.

Yeah the subreddit is in full revolt over this. It's a pretty shitty move for a game that is making money hand over fist.

I'm not buying this game.
This will be the first time i haven't gotten a CoD since 2006. I just can't support this. I know Activision didn't specifically claim having a minimum server speed and all, but this just seems to reinforce the trend with this game, Nickel and dime the players to death. I feel like i am just setting myself up for frustration reading this last bit of news. Quickscoping killed my interest in WW2, i'm not even going to get started with this one.
Going to get Red Dead Redemption in a few weeks, play that out, and then go from there.

It seems to run ok at 20hz. I could see skipping it over the ridiculous season pass, but not over tick rate. I've warmed up some to the regular multiplayer. Free for all is uhh... still.. problematic. But the featured mercenary dom/control/hardpoint playlist has been really fun. The biggest problems with those modes, as always, is the players. And this game expects just a little more coordination and thought than the average COD. But hey in what COD didn't having two drooling morons on your team pretty much torpedo you anyway?
Anyway I'll keep buying COD, I've gotten all the mainline releases starting at ground zero COD in 2003 or whatever. I know if I keep up the streak until I die, Bobby Kotick will open the pearly gates for me himgoddamnself!
But yeah RDR2 is gonna be... lit... as I and all my fellow youngsters like to say. It's definitely going to be better than COD. But BO4 is pretty good by COD standards.

nice, so they brought swap cancelling back? because they gimped it sometime around black ops 2 if I remember correctly. it used to be swap-swap would let you use the gun instantly, but then they forced a delay.

Black Ops 1 maps were generally very good? Are we talking about BO1? I do not complain about maps in BO4. Nuketown again would be totally frustrating. But original maps and the old ones are fine for me. Game is good.
