Topic: Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War

[RedSince86]

Seeing as Activision and Treyarch are allowing game play footage now and the beta weeks away i think a thread should start.

Looks like Cold War has around a 135-140 Health.

[RedSince86]

The PS4 Cold War Alpha is available for free in the PS store.

18th-20th and it's 27 GB, starts tomorrow UK time at 6pm.

Had a go of the alpha. Not a huge fan of the maps and in general its visually less appealing than modern warfare. Had to crank the movement sensitivity up quite a bit. TTK is good and it's nice to see some old perks return. Just not getting the buzz off it though and quickscoping has returned in a big way (which I hate). I'll have a few more games and hopefully get into it a bit more.

Felt the same, felt graphically a little less like call of duty. Saying that I have played Warzone only for the past few months.

[RedSince86]

Im really enjoying it, fast paced and the TTK is spot on.

Only bad points is Dead Silence needs to quieter and the Miami map is crap.

The sub machine guns have ridiculous range, they will be nerfed.

[J-Mc-]

It's great, but fuck me the killstreaks need a nerf.

Chopper gunner on Armada is an instant win.

One of the game Devs tweeted they made the Snipers overpowered for the Alpha so they can see how much they can tweak (nerf) for full game release.

The marksman rifles will get the same treatment no doubt, ridiculously OP as well.

My favourite gun is the AK-47, with Supressor and sprint stock and quick aiming attachments, getting 40-60 kill games with it on Domination and Hardpoint, the desert map plays so good on objective modes, really nice flow to it.

It's decent and I've enjoyed the few rounds I've played, but I disagree on the TTK, slightly too long imo

[RedSince86]

Anyone playing the Beta for the next 5 days?

[naYoRHa2b]

The graphics are so shit on this game. It's like a PS3/360 game. So much anti aliasing and visual noise, and it varies map to map like the jungle one is so ridiculously bad, the foliage is like a blur.

I wonder if it's too late to get a refund on my pre order

That's Treyarch style, not only are their games arcade like they also use more colours in their games, almost cartoony.

Infinity ward are all about gritty realism and you see that in their games graphics wise.

On the beta, i think the game is brilliant and has a lot of potential.

The TTK will be nothing like the game release, apparently the servers haven't been optimised and the Netcode is fucked up, so getting kills is as fast as MW in this Beta.

Yeah it's definitely there style but that one map in particular is just really rough to play. I'm just not sure I can consider myself a traditional online mp kinda guy anymore. The pace and general hectic nature just feels like something I've outgrown. That's why I prefer stuff like warzone where you can plan and strategize a bit more and communication is more effective.

[Mr Mingebag Squid]

Are they doing cross play still?

[LOKKO]

So is the xbox beta this Thursday only if you have pre ordered?

15th and 16th is pre orders.

17th-19th is open access.

[RedSince86]

Crossplay beta 15th to 19th, pre orders for the first two days.

It's a Crossplay game like MW.

Also the PS4 beta I played last week had an option to change the Field Of View like PC gamers had on CoD.

I did read on Reddit that people were seeing frames dropping when they put it over 100, might be better on the next gen console that feature.

Also the MP5 and Milano 821 are the best guns by far, kill super quick,no recoil and have ridiculous range, best AR is the Krig, X4 just behind.

Ak-47 is crap, weird recoil and the Ak-74u which was the best gun in the Alpha got nerfed making it crap.

Ranks stopped at 25 on Beta, will go to 42 on this Beta, Ninja perk is rank 39.

[Flaccido Dongingo]

Been getting wrecked by a shotgun from, quite frankly ridiculous range, and this is while pounding them with an assault rifle, I wouldn't really mind so much but it's completely unrealistic, maybe it will get nerfed like the AK74u did after the Alpha, all in all though I'm enjoying it, more so than Modern Warfare to be honest, looking forward to the full game on Series X.

Yeah shotties are OP.

Seen the potential of the game now everyone is running Ninja perk, the game just flows fast and not much camping unless protecting a zone in Hardpoint or Domination.

Great to see Treyarch didn't noob and dumb the game down for novice players like Infinity Ward did for MW, it's back to classic CoD this game.

[RedSince86]

I forgot to add.

The Beta has been extended for another 24 hours, finishes tomorrow at 6pm, all guns and attachments unlocked as well.

[Flaccido Dongingo]

Gonna put this out there, this is the best Call of Duty title since Black Ops ten years ago, it just feels right, I honestly cannot wait for the full release.

[LOKKO]

I have a 73gb install on my Xbox has this pre installed already? (First time I've bought a digital game in advance)

Sounds like it. I've just managed to pre-load mine on PS4. I just chose to install the base MP though and the Zombies as I'm saving the campaign for PS5.

[RedSince86]

The Famas from BO1 is back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LOKKO]

Had a quick go on armada this morning really enjoyed it, since then I can't get into a game keep getting "failed to host lobby error"

[RedSince86]

Netcode is still just as bad as the beta.

Same thing every time with CoD the first few weeks, you get those horrible majority scenarios of shooting first and dying first.

Liking some of the maps, not liking the disbanding lobbies though.

I've only played mostly FFA so far, movement and less campy game play is spot on though.

Campaign, 3rd mission, if you’re on a PS4 then make sure your controller is on usb connection when you play it.

Majorly frustrating bug in which your controller disconnects and the only option you have is to turn off your console directly...

It was doing that on the Beta, a Scottish friend i played with during that last beta, i swear every 3-4 matches it did that when the match was loading, was funny hearing his Glaswegian accent cursing.

He ended up stopping playing the beta the last couple of days as he thought it might brick his PS4, I always play with mine plugged in anyway, supposed to give you an advantage in shooter games according to CoD pros.

I finally unlocked the Famas, level 14 and it's the only gun that has made me stop using the MP5 for so far.

[Flaccido Dongingo]

Up to the mission in KGB Headquarters (no spoilers please), and really enjoying the campaign, only played a few rounds of MP, and I've been getting melted, I'm falling victim to the "see them first, unload half a magazine into them, get hit twice, die" which is very frustrating, as I'm on Series X, Open NAT, 200mb connection, so I'm assuming that's why there are so many complaints about the netcode.

Mp5 has been nerfed, 33% less damage range BTW.

Biggest tip for this game for that issue you have.

Use the barrel attachment that gives a big percentage of bullet velocity, bullets travel faster with it on, you'll notice a big difference in MP, it's like night and day.

Youtubers  Xclusive ace and Drift0r have done videos on it.

Whats the point in the disc?

Sat here waiting for the game to install, then download a patch to play the thing, then waiting for three further downloads to play the campaign?

[naYoRHa2b]

The campaign is surprisingly really good. The stealthy bits remind me of the old James Bond games

Discs these days are basically just the initial install and then act as a licence to prove that you still own the game.

New Nuketown map.

And bizarrely still around £10 cheaper than digital.

[RedSince86]

FFAR (Famas) has been nerfed, more recoil, 33% less damage range.

M16 and Aug have also been nerfed, both have a slower burst now and less mobility, looks like they'll be like the two Burst rifles from BO4.

Struggling online. Keep getting shot in the back and sides. Feels like each COD, this is happening more. Either im getting shitter, or the map design is getting sillier.

[RedSince86]

New footage of Nuke town map, check it out at 2:00 when you shoot all the mannequin heads off, (usually you get a horde of mannequin zombies when you do that in a custom room if you shoot all the heads under 2 minutes.

I guess it's map knowledge once that happens you'll know the routes of enemy players.

Also try using the Perk Forward Intel in the perk 1 slot, you get more view on the mini map, and also get to see where enemy players are spawning from, it's a really amazing perk, also equip the" field mic" as well that will help you know your enemies in close proximity.

And use Barrel attachment that increase Bullet Velocity, you'll get quicker kills, don't bother with range ones, use the ones that increase velocity, its something Treyarch added last minute before launch to balance between the Sub Machine guns and AR's against each other.

I'm not enjoying the maps to be honest to many choke points and sniper lanes for my liking
