Are the new weapons in blackout? Maybe I’ve missed it, but I didn’t see it anywhere.

I´m looking forward to the armor repairing mechanic. I´m also looking forward to half of the players in the match dropping onto the yacht and dying within 20 seconds.

SDM & Spitfire changes are welcome. The new ARV will be a mistake shouldn't give a tank whore like me armor in a mode like Blackout. Armor repair mechanic sounds like it'll be a bitch to deal with unless it's limited to one repair or only repairing to half. We'll see but I'm cautiously optimistic.

The new weapons have been in Blackout on PS4 since yesterday (Monday). The SMG is a three round burst, and the AR is a fairly accurate gun, similar to the ICR. At least in Blackout, the new AR is said to be way better than the SMG.
I would guess you'll be waiting. The map changes were available yesterday on PS4, so if you load your game and don't notice fall colors on the trees, then I'm pretty sure you'll get all changes next week. The new Blackout armor repair system has also been on the PS4 version since yesterday.
For PS4 users, the rest of the update goes live later today. New specialist, two new weapons, new Blackout vehicle, new contraband stream, Hijacked ship added to Blackout, etc.

A nice overview of the new specialist:

Been playing Mercenary Moshpit nonstop. This is great. There's not as many morale draining curbstomps as there are in normal lobbies. (although curbstomps do still happen on occasion)
I mean, I even got a draw in Domination. That has never happened to me in CoD ever. I didn't even know you could draw on Domination.

Before giving up on the regular multiplayer forever, my buddy and I would just watch the matchmaking and leave any time we saw like a 5 or 6 person group thrown into the room. You have absolutely no reason to stay when you see that shit. Maybe that'll help with the curbstomping, but yeah it's still going to happen.

Personally I’ve never understood specialists, a superpower on a timer? What? What’s the point?

It's CoD, the copycat king. Blackout is the only thing they've copied and improved upon their competitors, but they half-ass many things and don't think it all the way through. It's what they do and without shame.
I want to go back to simpler times in the PS3/XBOX360 era without lootboxes or specialists where CoD just cared about being itself. I guess I'm getting too old for this, haha. Infinite Warfare's looting system was actually pretty good since you can work up to what you wanted to unlock.

Reaper (the "robot skin") is a very popular character from BO3, it's not like they randomly added him in.
The other "robot" that should be coming is Spectre who is probably the most popular BO3 character.

WW2 was back to basics with some modern flair. According to that PS4 your history video it’s my most played ps4 game, makes sense!
I've got to say that while I've been enjoying blackout as it feels like a real, finished, polished game unlike pubg, it is fundamentally broken on the armor front. Level 3 needs to be removed from the game. The ability to now repair it is now devastating.
It is completely unfair and while I can take down 2, even sometimes 3 members of a squad if my team goes down, ONE level three guy and it's over.
It has to be fixed, its absurd. Level 1 and 2 are fine. 3 has got to go, period.

I've got no problem with this solution either. I understand upgrades, and loot but level three is just obscene.
It is way, way overpowered.

I think they just changed it again today. Now you can only carry 5 plates, and level 2 and 3 aren't as durable.

On paper the armor changes sound great. I'll have to play some more this weekend to see how it turns out.
Also I like the suggestion I've heard of removing level 3 armor and making it only 2 levels plus a rare helmet that cannot be repaired.

It also takes some time to repair them now. Level 3 is still tank mode, I can testify to it. Dropped two of a squad, rehealed, fixed my level 2 armor, got dropped by a level 3 when I got the drop on them. Jumped thru a window I drilled him with a Maddox, he turned, and mowed me down.
So damn frustrating to get the drop, but for them to last long enough to turn, fire, and win the fight.
Damn it.

Level 3 armour really can go fuck itself. Lost count of the top 5s I've been put out of because of being tanked despite having the jump on the opponent.
On a positive note, I'm still playing daily and having a blast. I was sickened with CoD for a number of years but this has flipped me. Really happy to see it getting Fortnite tier post launch support too. Kinda wish the updates weren't always 10gb though.

I don't really want them to change the armor system (or if i'm to be honest i don't care if they change it or not). I like the armor levels and with good strategy you can easily outgun a lvl3. I usually carry lots of concussions and they do a great job at blinding them. Also always go for the head.
The game is not deathmatch so proceeding with caution is priority one.

or, say this, you can get level 3 armor, but if it gets damaged, no repairs can be done, 2 level 2 guys with repairs on their armor, should take out a level 3 no problems...

That actually sounds like a fair compromise. I think I could live with that nerf.

I dont see how so many people have issue with lvl3 armor. I can see it being a problem at long distances but close quarters, with my spitfire with no add ons, it destroys it in like 2 seconds. Same happened to me, I just got lvl 3, was going towards a gun to pick it up and some guy came from behind and started shooting. By the time I turned around to see where he is I was already dead.

yep been noticing they are roaming near the farm now, of course they also mean the santa hats lol
Now there is a new problem that better get fixed quick because I'm ready to drop this steamer. Xbox one x and the game freezes in end game situations so often, it absolutely has to be caused by the update.
They finally recognized it and said they are doing something, but in the meantime a whole lot of new players are gonna be pissed.

Am a noob to this, but have been struggling hard on Blackout with Quads (randoms). PC version. I do a little better in solo, but quads has been soul destroying. Any UK/EU peeps play this on PC?

My favorite is hearing people's reactions when you kill them if they have a mic. Its either some high pitched scream or a solid insult 
.
I love being that guy, standing on top of the sink in a toilet with the doors shut, waiting for you to open em. The voice reactions are priceless!

I picked this up for PS4 from the library last weekend and have been playing TDM ever since (I don't care about BR).
I'm having a lot of fun with it, much more than I thought I would, and I am genuinely tempted to buy the game. The only thing stopping me is the knowledge that the complete game costs $100 and, with Anthem on the near horizon, I dunno if it's worth that kind of money.
If it we're $60 for the full game, I'd buy it without hesitation. But I don't want to support their stupid pass system, especially when I may have moved on to other games by the time all the content has released.
Seriously, why do they fucking do this; trickle the content over a year? If you're charging for the pass upfront, then give us the content up front, ffs.

Game is 60 dollars? Battle pass is just a waste of money. Trust me, I was stupid enough to buy.

Wait a bit longer, it's clear that the tech is in already in place to split up each part of the game to be sold piece by piece.

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....
