That video pretty sums up the problem with this game. They are trying to make it tactical when COD players don't want a tactical game. COD is just a fast paced, arcade shooter. That's what people want from the game.

Played a few matches so far and I'm really happy with the beta as it's so bad that I've just saved myself £40.  
 
Even 5v5, it's so erratic and convoluted - there is just so much going on that unless you are part of a team who are communicating; tactics just go out of the window and everything is a mess. 
 
+ The movement feels fluid albeit still leaning towards advanced rather than BOTG
- TTK is a joke 
- Spawns are horrendous
- The HUD is littered with shit
- The interface is a fucking mess
- Maps are ok but it feels like it's just lane 1, lane 2, or lane 3
- Manual regen/insta heals just ruin ranged combat
- Gameplay is a bit exhausting, frustrating and boring
- Visuals are very dated as is the engine
- Too many needless changes for the sake of it that didn't even need changing
- Mini map is confusing as hell 
- Snipers are OP - shoot someone 3 times in the head and they live to kill you in one shot to the shin!
- Headglitching is rife on some maps
 
The TTK is probably the biggest dealbreaker as I shoot someone for ages, land plenty of hits, finally kill them yet before I can heal or gather my thoughts, someone else kills me. Every engagement is tiring and long-range battles are pointless as players can heal in comfort sending shootouts back to square one minus a shitload of bullets. If you use an AR to combat this; SMG rip in CQC so it's just a waste of time. If the enemy isn't within a certain radius you may as well not bother. 
 
I'm going to give it another shot tomorrow but I can't see my experience improving as the fundamental problems are set in stone and are just too prominent. There's just so many unnecessary changes and bizarre inclusions that are ripped out of more appropriate games that look so out of place here. It's like Treyarch have just got carried away stealing innovations from other games that they've lost sight of what COD is and why they want to include such changes. This is not a game I'd expect from them in a 3 year cycle and for me, they've gone from the franchises most trusted and reliable developers to a bunch of poachers who are out of ideas and don't even know what the fuck they are doing anymore.

Nova Launcher is absolutely the best third party launcher you can get on Android. I bought prime around 6 years and never use anything else.
 
As for phones I'm using the OnePlus 6.
It's the best Android phone I've had so far. And it's fairly cheap for what you get; mine was £529 with 128GB storage. It's super fast, battery lasts ages, camera is great and OxygenOS (the version of Android that OnePlus use) is the best version of Android I've used. Plus I like to run custom ROMs on my phones and OnePlus is one of the best for phones for them.
 
I had a Huawei Mate 10 Pro. While the phone was great the software was awful. I just can't get one with EMUI.

I lay the blame firmly at Activision. Should have let Treyarch do what they wanted as they make solid games.

You know I'm up for this. Although I'm basically unavailable for gaming for a few weeks now.

After playing this for a while I can honestly say I'm very disappointed.
The maps are quite poor and very small and just not up to the usual Treyarch standard. Seems they've basically all been designed for this new Control mode.
Core is quite literally unplayable for me.
The spawn system is utterly shit. It's not unusual to spawn and be shot in the back instantly. I had a few games where I literally had players spawn in front of me. I suspect the map size has something to do with this.
I wasn't expecting much after all the rumours of them ditching the original game any way. But after BO3, which was excellent, this seems like a step backwards.

The fact that you can load into a match and not be able to choose an operator as the match has already begun is very annoying as well.

It's a beta. It will be better on the finished product. 
 
😂😂😂😂

Played a couple of games.
2 main issues were:
1) Load times are painfully long. Sometimes by the time I'd loaded into a game the match had already started. This was an issue with BO3 as well. 
2) The TTK is waaaaayyyyy to high. Takes fucking ages to kill anybody. So if I do end up getting this game then I'll be sticking to Hardcore.
 
Apart from those things it seems OK. Maps are decent.

The impression I've got from looking on Reddit is that the body armour is annoying as fuck. Couple that with other things that boost your health and it makes gunfights completely random as you never know how much health people will have. And it has a shit Destiny-ish UI where you navigate with a cursor rather than use the controller buttons and sticks.

That kid who leaked everything - which turned out to be true - said that the game was completely different but they were essentially made to bin it and start afresh. I think he was telling the truth because, just like you, I can't believe Treyarch have been working on this version for 3 years.

The first games we saw of it had ridiculous QSing again. So there's that bullshit.
 
And it's Activision not EA. But both are cunts.

I'm waiting for the open beta.  The game looks like it plays okay but it's very unambitious, dated and it's left me suspicious. There is no way this is the game Treyarch started working on 3 years ago - I bet they made an entirely different version of BO4 which was binned along with the campaign and instead had cobble together anything they could from the BO3 SDK and then make radical gameplay changes like 5v5 and manual health regen to give the appearance that it's had some major overhauls to further distance it from its BO3 similarities.
 
I reckon the zombies portion is 100% genuine from scratch but with no campaign and a seemingly rushed multiplayer ripped straight from BO3 that looks worse than some Steam workshop creations;  this isn't the game we were supposed to get especially with it being built around specialists that the majority didn't want. Blackout is also rumoured to have only entered development earlier this year and isn't even being produced by Treyarch. 
 
It's crazy how good COD was on a two year cycle with inferior technology compared to how it is now.
