dude, this mode is the bomb, doesn't make you nervous jumping out, I get split in groups of 2 by 2 for first few rounds just to get some kills then meet up when the circle goes fast close (after round 5) then the intensity ramps up good, hope they keep this mode all the time....

Looking forward to trying this mode this evening with a few pals. We normally have a beer and Blackout session on Friday nights and inevitably, as the night goes on and the beers go down, our best player is usually carrying the rest of us while we spectate after dying right off the bat. This has great potential.

Current thoughts on blackout....

MOG range needs a slight nerf, especially with Ext barrel. Damage is fine, it is a shotgun after all but the range is making people bunny hope and 2 shot people at range that seems silly.

Armour: I say keep level 1 and 2 armour. Replace level 3 for a crate only rare helmet which will protect you from a one shot palidin etc and cant be repaired.

Knife: Should only be a instant kill from behind. Move it to equipment slot, 1 shot from behind or option to throw knife like axe. People with level 3 armour just running through buildings tanking hits knifing people is silly.

I got about 240 hours of game time. This last month or so i found the above to ruin the gunplay of the game. Still getting wins but the fun has dropped quite a bit.

The final circle is always madness in DBNO, I love it. Keen to find out what Ambush will be like. Also, I do hope they have a team working on a new Blackout map and that they don't go down the Fortnite route of perpetually tweaking just the one.

Yeah, this game is kinda dead to me. The multiplayer didn't turn out as good as I hoped for. I blame the boring three lane map layout, the high ping times and the specialists for it. They also further removed the tactical component from the multiplayer in favor of more simple run and gun action. Exactly the opposite of what I hoped for. The blackout mode also just got utterly destroyed by apex legends which is a vastly superior br experience. It's a shame, trey was supposed to save cod.

Maybe IW will deliver this year. I just want the fun maps from COD/MW2 and BO1 back. Just design cool maps in cool locations and forget about chasing that eSport dollar, cod is never going to be as big as counterstrike.

I still regret buying this garbage for a full price. Shitty MP, garbage servers and the blackout is decent but thanks to the tick rate it ruined. Haven’t played since maybe November or December.

I was excited for a new map but I must say Alcatraz is meh. I mean its 40 players max opposed to 100 and everyone has like 5 respawns per match...its like battle Royale lite version.

I noticed in one of the promo pics it said improvements to the Alcatraz map.... wonder what those improvements are. The cliffs around the edges are such a pain to.climb and I get stuck on tiny edges all over the map. Hope they fix some of that type of stuff.

So I've had this since launch but am only getting around to get into it. Never was into CoD but this seems neat.

HOWEVER today I'm like "What's up with Zombies" and the challenge of the day is 10 levels of Gauntlet. Sure, I can handle that no problem. Except on round 4 the rule is to only use the MOG12, but to get to the MOG12 I have to open a door that spends so many points I can't buy the MOG12, and it literally blocks off every other way of killing zombies, including melee, so I can't get more points and am forced to manually end the game.

That is some real dogshit design you got there, Treyarch.

Edit: Okay so knowing what was required, I beat that round. Then you have to build the shield by end of round, which requires 3 parts to build it, which requires opening tons of doors to find them, which requires points, which you get from killing zombies, but if you kill them all without owning the shield you lose the round.

I am never playing this mode again. It actually totally killed my enthusiasm for playing even other modes right now.
