XxEvil AshxX Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Call of Duty and Battle Royale could be a pretty good fit if it's not filled with bullshit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPCyric Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 So as a general rule of thumb I avoid the non-Treyarch CoD's and I had actually lost interest in the series completely because of Titanfall 2. However I think a battle royale mode is going to make this worthwhile until we get Titanfall 3 with battle royale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALIEN-gunner Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 The designers of this are saying that they're having a hard time maintaining 60fps. They say it can run that fast depending how many players are on screen but not always but they won't be locking it to 30fps. Also I had read that Blackout is 80 players.

ALIEN-gunner Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 That was a well put together trailer of frantic never boring action. In other words: Completely fictional. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xbob42 Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 The idea that they'd just reuse maps to build a bigger map just seems really gross and lazy as fuck to me. Like they don't trust themselves to make high quality maps anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like they don't trust themselves to make high quality maps anymore. I think it’s just pragmatic though. Those assets are expensive, and I do think the design doesn’t have to be as pristine when it’s a bigger playfield, if that makes any sense.

Lol well it’s not that they can’t afford it, obviously. But it still has to be very costly to design a map of that size from nothing. Personally I think it’s kinda cool it’ll have familiar terrain. Then again I don’t know if I’ll even recognize any of it because I haven’t seriously played the series since black ops 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 The map issue is most likely due to this being added very late in Development by Lord Kotick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPCyric Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 To me it makes perfect sense to use maps people love so long time players will be comfortable in the new Battle Royale mode. Black Ops IV should have it's own distinct map if they do this again but they handled it right this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not unlike using an existing IP and all its trappings to get people hooked on a new game mode instead of creating a new IP built around those diverging ideas. Getting people hooked on something new is easier if you package it in the familiar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think Battle Royale will be a staple of COD in future games. I could be wrong but like you said they are just trying to ride the coat tails of a popular trend.

The def star Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 21 hours ago, johnny said: Do you die from 2 bullets in BR mode? If so, no thanks. From watching Twitch streams it looks like the TTK is a lot longer than the main multiplayer game. I have seem people put in full clips into other players and still not kill them. Could be that they had armor but it definitely looks like it takes longer to down someone. Honestly this looks like a better polished PUBG. I can definitely see players moving onto this if they were PUBG players. But for me this isn't my type of mode. I hate going long periods of time with out seeing anyone or any action. I get that people enjoy the thrill of staying alive but that's just not my type of game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
