J4MES OX4D 10,035 Posted September 6 Author Share Posted September 6 Just finished 3 matches in the open beta and it feels like Cold War on crack. Everything feels really sweaty and erratic. Can be fun but it’s also rather messy. It’s certainly enough of a change over Cold War and the last few COD’s but I actually think Vanguard offered the best pacing and hit reg IMO so it feels a bit of a step back in that respect. Visuals look good as do the animations but i fear the movement will be exploited to hell down the line. I’m tempted to grab this if nothing else floats my boat towards the end of the year but I hope it doesn’t become too exhausting.

anticonscience 63 Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 Enjoyed weekend one, then I played a game in the last hour of the beta and my god it was a sweatfest, couldn’t kill anyone lol so I promptly turned it off. watching my son play last night and today and yeah it looks bad this weekend, no idea why if it’s a cheater problem or what, it jeez I’m not sure I got it in me to reach level 30, think I’d rather just sit it out. the spawns look rough as hell.

J4MES OX4D 10,035 Posted September 7 Author Share Posted September 7 Another thing I am a bit concerned about is the visibility - the graphics are nice, clean and pretty colourful in places but anyone that's prone appears dead so you practically have to shoot dead bodies to double check or risk being killed by someone laying down. The amount of people that look ragdoll dead but are just camping is crazy and I think this could develop into a real problem unless the animations offers better differentiation. JackFrags posted a video last night where he was camping on stairs and out in the open and players were just walking over him assuming he was dead.

techno 3,511 Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 This from Nero says it all tbh, I played for quite a few hours yesterday as I needed to see if it made me feel ill however I kind of enjoyed it because as some know I spent so much time on shipment. This game feels like shipment 24/7 chaos, I also had to quit out of quite a few games due to really bad lag etc. IRaMPaGe and J4MES OX4D 2 Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/10726-black-ops-6/page/2/#findComment-159688 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luseth 1,954 Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 I have interest in the sense I want another shooter to play with FG, however I am running out of steam with COD again which is probably why I did not stick it out with the last release ^_^ J4MES OX4D, techno and GazzaGarratt 3 Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/10726-black-ops-6/page/2/#findComment-159690 Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil bottle 9,761 Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 I installed the beta but never got around to trying it out.

J4MES OX4D 10,035 Posted September 11 Author Share Posted September 11 I'm probably gonna give this one a miss. Some parts of the beta were fun but the majority were just too exhausting and frustrating. The pacing is just too erratic and combine this with the very basic map design and it just feels like you're running and gunning all the time with absolutely no need for thought or strategy. Doesn't feel like a game that's been made for 4 years - I'm sure the campaign is a decent and highly polished offering but the MP is once again full of questionable design choices, fundamental flaws and lots of frustrations. The spawns on Babylon are probably the worst in the history of COD too techno 1 Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/10726-black-ops-6/page/2/#findComment-159712 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luseth 1,954 Posted October 24 Share Posted October 24 And people will continue to pay for it... Therein lies the problem. Yes scummy companies but for some reason the fan base will pay instead of choosing to boycott etc. I can see this going down as one of the worst COD's ever, the only aspect I am really interested in atm is Zombies as it would be good to get on that with an old group of mates I used to game with.

JM 1,608 Posted October 24 Share Posted October 24 One of my favourite parts on the original war zone was an audio setting which made others sound like they were talking over a radio. It was honestly so good for immersion but I doubt this is what that was.

People are angry because it's another internal charge that can provide an advantage and Activision could further utilise this down the line by artificially degrading the standard output and forcing people to buy into this. Peripherals should be the only thing to dictate the end-quality of audio and as Activision have yet to get their house in order with the basic environmental sounds in any of these COD games with so many inconsistencies, so it just looks a ludicrous inclusion. If they want to offer this then it should be open to all advanced audio providers in the market and shouldn't be integrated exclusively, because all it looks like is an easy money grab for two money-grabbing companies. That would be like Activision saying you can only perform certain in-game movements if you have a SCUF controller.

If you pay then you get it tailored for the shape of your head and ears. It doesn't change the quality of the audio at all. We all get the enhanced audio for free. If you watch XclusiveAce's video he even states that he's done some research into this and it seems that the opinion on the paid part is very varied. Some people say it's great and some say it does absolutely nothing. It just seems like a gimmick to me and you'd have to be stupid to pay more money just for the chance that it may improve how you hear things by a little bit.

cyberninja2601 1,106 Posted October 25 Share Posted October 25 Anyone enjoying the game? I played 4-5 matches. I kind of bored of it already. Not a fan of the perk system. The default classes are meh at best. Not a fan of the movement. I never really liked the Treyarch games. This one hasn't changed my opinion so far. I'll give zombies a go later.

They tend to do that well and it the best part of their games in my opinion I’ve played 16 matches and I’m roughly half way through the campaign, and I’m having a great time! 1 big caveat; I have taken a long break from COD. I didn’t play Vanguard, Cold War, or MW2 at all, and only played about 30 mins of MW3 when it came to game pass. I didn’t want to buy these games anymore, and I’m only playing BO6 due to it being on game pass! So there’s a good chance that the reason I’m enjoying it so much is that I’ve taken such a long break! Need to play more matches to determine which maps and weapons I do or don’t like, but for now I’m just enjoying my time with it!

Luseth 1,954 Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 First thoughts are actually decent and I have been in a few good lobbies however it is already seemingly apparent there are some 'dodgy' players on pc and doing a quick google online this morning apparently cheats have come online very quick and is probably the only downside of playing on a computer over Playstation. That said the gameplay is decent and I don't mind the movement. I suspect I will play this a little but with the number of games I have on the go it may be reservered for a bit of Zombies with some friends and private matches with you lot. The guns are somewhat lacking, there are very few and It feels like I don't really need to move from the first gun (XM4) but we will see, I have just pulled the trigger and bought the playstation version now so will jump on in the week with you guys I am sure.

phil bottle 9,761 Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 I've played a bit on Xbox as well, feels so weird using an Xbox controller for COD again. Played the campaign, it's decent so far but only done three chapters. Played a round of Zombies solo and got confused right at the end as I thought you just extract but it generates a helicopter exfil. I've not played multiplayer yet but I hear it's pretty hectic with a low ttk?

IRaMPaGe 3,236 Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 I played it for a bit on Friday night. Only got to rank 13 or something , so playtime has been limited. Movement is decent, gunplay is fine. Very good hit detection. Not seen or hearing a lot of bugs (which is unusual for a cod at launch). Weapon leveling and progression is well balanced imo. Not too stingy or generous. Old school prestige system, love it! The maps seem alright, I don't hate any of them yet. Quite a few seem small/medium, which doesn't bother me. Best play is back. Perks are fine. Don't really have a bad word to say about it. Only gripe is that stupid top3 winners circle thing at the end of matches. I think Treyarch have done a good job here. Until I play more and find annoyances etc, I think there is nothing wrong with it. The connection has been totally fine as well.

techno 3,511 Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 Just hit level 25, I'm actually finding it ok, it's more of the same, movement is fine the maps are meh all the usual crack heads running round you should know now what your going to get from a modern cod. Im not a fan of headshots for camos mwlll did it way better and certainly more interestingly but it is what it is. Modern map design for me personally sucks, but most of these maps are thankfully small enough to enjoy unless you like being shit in the back. Did play some zombies always pick squad as I've no idea what to do and didnt mind it as a change.
