Just logged in finally now I can actually regularly check via the app. Oh dear.. I'm getting battered! Not to worry, the great comeback is now on! Made 3 subs, started to put a few on form players in like Martial. In a few weeks can also change my poss poor forwards as well! We have a fight above me though for sure! @jordie1892 @Dan94 @Findmartin @tronic44 @phil bottle @ChaosGladiator @Stretch616 @Plumbers Crack

Is it just me or is it so easy to hit R1/R2 and pop your gun unintentionally?! The controls for me are always a sticking point on Rockstar games and they've outdone themselves again here. Feel like sometimes I'm having to hold the control pad in a claw type fashion to do quick movements.

How are you all approaching the game? It's slower paced than any game out there atm so just wondering if it's just campaign missions or opening the map up more comes first or just anything goes? I'm asking as I want to carry on the campaign but was hoping for other objective style stuff to focus on for different nights. I think I ran out of steam for HZD because I lost my way with the samey-styled side missions. Be good to know how you tackle The Wild West!

What's the reasoning for using SMGs? Just objectives or you guys enjoy using them? I've never really enjoyed the SMG style of play as they are supposed to win at close hut not too close ranges. Either AR or above unless in your face which is Shotgun county.

Man, that was savage! 😂😂😂 I'm reading a few bits on Twitter and a lot of game developers and game employees are condemning the guy saying that and felt sorry for the developer as it wasn't his fault. Now, it must be horrible to be put in that position and it's never ideal however, 1) he's entitled to his opinion and 2) when Blizzard chose their developer to stand up there, whether he likes it or not, he represents the company. If he is the only person to talk to at that moment then he is jointly responsible to receive that criticism. I think he handled it pretty well tbh, but I don't feel too sorry for him as if he didn't want to stand up and represent Blizzard he should've told them so. On a separate note, the removal of dislikes is just depressing to see.

Even if you don't play it straight away,the whole base game is free. Just ensure you get your free copy as its a no brainer.

We definitely found a great set up near the end of the night. 2 Titans running Melting Point (Top tree hammers) 1 Hunter Tethering 1 Warlock Nova Warp or 1 Titan Sentinel Shield (in other words, roaming void super) Where earlier in the night we struggled if we lost supers to close out a win, this strat meant ads got tethered at start of Primeval, roaming good super cleared ads and wizards quickly, orbs fed hammer supers. Melting Point on the boss from both Titans in quick succession virtually nailed it. Last day of 3x Infamy today I think so will get my money's worth I reckon.

The triple infamy last night was epic. Definitely great games had and with a ghost she'll to add an extra 10%, I'm nearly through a whole reset in one night. @techno @Kemp210 @crispymorgan and @Bluebear had some phenemonal games. Some heart breaking losses in there too. I had 2 meatballs spawn late on, both of which we won the games. Thought we lost the first but it's important to send someone through to distract the opposition even if you're winning.

Well, I'm all booked up so Didds and I are there. You need to get your hotels booked pronto. Also, quickly google travelodge discount codes before you book as you'll get a 10% code wiithin 2 clicks, mines was through Groupon. No sign up, just click and go. As for the day ahead, i'm not sure what I can pull together due to finances atm but i'll try and let you know beforehand. It'll be great to see everyone there for a whole day of fun, games, banter and drinkypoos. i'm thinking it opens at 12pm so we start meeting from then but i'll confirm nearer the time.

Man, I wish I had more time for more time trials this week. The track felt good and only having the Ferrari, I got a few more laps done today but too many silly mistakes. Best is down to 2:21. Is it til next Sunday?

We'll get more on soon, I think we just need some momentum again. Later may work better in some instances Brede.

I'm loving this thread everyone. Definitely keep them coming.

OMEGALOOOOOOOOLLLZ This is the flagship video in the next FG montage without question! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Nope. Need fitness but fitness bores me. If I can get fit by doing something e.g. sport, then that's the best for me. Wife does a boot camp (not affiliated with a gym) and pays for that which is the half way house I think. Plus you get to bounce off others that attend and push each other.

Sounds a great idea @Dan94....do we actually have to put money on or just pick a bet that we would do if we had the money?

Hey @phil bottle, I respect your view more than SkillUp but I have to say this wasn't a good watch 15 days before the game comes out.

Chris @TigerBurge passed this info on and Sebba @ChaosGladiator has also mentioned this map before in the tips thread but if you don't want to buy the map here it is and the 16 animals you can catch. 1. Legendary Alligator The legenary gator can be found to the south of Lagras, in the marshy swamps west of Lakay in the Bayou Nwa region of Lemoyne. Skinning this aligator will reward you with the Legendary Alligator Skin and Legendary Alligator Tooth. 2.

Legendary Beaver The legendary beaver is found just to the southeast of Elysian Pool, due west of the Van Horn Trading Post. Skinning it rewards you with the Legendary Beaver Pelt and Legendary Beaver Tooth. 4.

Skinning it grants the Legendary Boar Pelt and Legendary Boar Tusk. 5. Legendary Buck You'll find the Legendary Buck in the black bone forest at the western foot of Mt Shan, northwest of Strawberry in West Elizabeth. The legendary buckpelt is valuable, but the Legendary BuckAntler trinket is great to get early on as it increases the quality of all your skins. 6. Legendary Cougar You can hunt the legendary cougar west of Tumbleweed in Gaptooth Ridge in New Austin. Killing and skinning it earns you the Legendary Cougar Pelt and the Legendary Cougar 7. Legendary Coyote This legendary animal can be hunted near the west end of Dewberry Creek, northwest of Rhodes in the Scarlett Meadows region of Lemoyne. 8.

It drops the Legendary Fox Pelt and Legendary Fox Claw when skinned. 10. Legendary Moose You'll find the legendary moose in the far northeast corner of the map, by following the train tracks north from Annesburg or heading up the river from Brandywine Drop in Roanoke Ridge. Skinning it unlocks the Legendary Moose Pelt and Legendary MooseAntler. 11. Legendary Panther To unlock this legendary hunt, you must first complete 9 Master Hunter challenges. Once you do, you can find it in the woods south of Bolger Glade, west of Shady Belle. Skin the panther to earn the Legendary Panther Skin and Legendary Panther Eye. 12. Legendary Pronghorn The legendary pronghorn can be found in New Austin, to the east and slightly south of Fort Mercer.

Welcome to FG Mario! Although I'm a Sonic kind of guy, sorry 😜 As Phil says above, let us know abit more like what other games you are into. Do you have a PS4? We do usually put some game nights up so we may be able to cross paths online at some point. Hope you enjoy your stay here and get involved where you can

Ta for clarifying Gaz 👍 Need to get my ass on tonight so I can try and get some wins.

Hang on, didn't the ICR get nerfed a little?

Too much for even me to read but nice to initially see Gun Game added. Always good fun for us to have in private matches on previous CoDs.

Oct. 30 Update: MP Balancing Pass, Blackout & Zombies Updates, Gun Game + More This is a huge update so enjoy the read. We’ve made the following updates to the game today on consoles (PC update to follow shortly with additional PC-specific changes and improvements): Multiplayer Playlist Updates Featured Playlists “Gun Game” playlist added to Featured Playlist (no parties allowed). “Mercenary Deathmatch Moshpit” playlist added to the Featured Category (TDM and Kill Confirmed, no parties allowed). “Chaos Domination” playlist to Featured Category (3-second captures, 150-point rounds, 6v6). Hardcore TDM / Hardcore Kill Confirmed Player count increased to 6v6. 2 Specialist limit per team. Assault Rifles We’re dialing back some previous buffs to Assault Rifles to help close the gap in effectiveness between ARs and SMGs, allowing SMGs to be more effective at firing on the move. Slight reduction to ADS move speed for all Assault Rifles. Slight reduction to ADS-in transition speed for all Assault Rifles. ICR-7 Reduced headshot damage. Slight reduction to reload speed. VAPR-XKG Reduced close-range headshot damage. Damage now falls off sooner. High Caliber: Reduced headshot multiplier, eliminating the possibility of a 3-hit kill. Submachine Guns Mobility is the primary strength of SMGs, speeding across the map to engage or disengage quickly. Some of the close-range SMGs were performing quite well, while others struggled to compete with the rest of the category. This week’s balancing pass levels the playing field between SMGs. MX9 Extended all damage ranges. High Caliber: Reduced headshot multiplier, eliminating the possibility of a 4-hit kill. Cordite Extended all damage ranges. Belt-Feed Operator Mod: Increased overheat rate. GKS Quad Shot Operator Mod: Slight time increase in between bursts. Saug 9mm Dual Wield Operator Mod: Reduced hip-fire accuracy. Tactical Rifles We’ve buffed the ABR to be more competitive with the other Tactical Rifles, while stepping down its Operator Mod to keep it from becoming a crutch Attachment. The Swordfish received some Attachment adjustments, as well. ABR 223 Extended maximum damage range. Repeater Operator Mod: Now takes longer to accelerate fire rate. Stock: Slight reduction in movement speed bonus. Laser Sight & Laser Sight II: Improved hip-fire accuracy. Swordfish High Caliber: Reduced headshot multiplier, eliminating the possibility of a 3-hit kill. Penta Burst Operator Mod: Reduced extra granted clip-size. Sniper Rifles The other Sniper Rifles needed help to fight King Paladin. We’re giving these rifles reduced idle sway and upping their damage to help finish off wounded targets more consistently. Removed turn sway when aiming down sights on all Sniper Rifles to better ensure the weapon reticle stays centered when turning. Paladin HB50 High Caliber II: Hitting the lower torso on a full Tak-5-boosted enemy will no longer be a 1-hit kill. FMJ II: Improved damage against Scorestreaks. Stabilizer II: Player can now hold breath sooner after the previous hold breath. Outlaw Improved base damage from 110 to 130. Reduced idle sway. Increased base movement speed. Stock: Slight increase in ADS movement speed bonus. SDM Increased clip size from 10 to 12. Reduced idle sway. Koshka Improved Damage from 120 to 140. Stock: Slight increase in ADS movement speed bonus. Light Machine Guns Some in the community have discovered that the Titan and VKM 750 are extremely effective weapons! We’re toning them down before everyone jumps on the bandwagon. While they’ll still be scary to face off against, players will now have a more reasonable chance to defend themselves against these LMGs. Titan Reduced headshot damage. Reduced hip-fire accuracy. Stock: Reduced ADS movement speed bonus. VKM 750 Reduced movement speed while firing. Reduced damage slightly. Fat Barrel Operator Mod: Reduced bullet tracer size. Hades Cross Bar Operator Mod: Reduced movement speed and accuracy. Steady Grip: Improved recoil mitigation. Pistols Slight reduction to ADS-in transition speed for all Pistols. RK 7 Garrison Slight increase to the time between bursts. Slight reduction to reload speed. Shotguns This weapon class is close to where we want it, with only a couple of specific Attachments performing better than intended. Shotguns in Black Ops 4 play a different role than in past Call of Duty titles, and those who have practiced cat-and-mouse gameplay can be highly effective with them. MOG 12 Choked Barrel: 1-hit-kill range reduced. Dragon’s Breath Operator Mod: Resolved an issue where the Dragon’s Breath occasionally triggered incorrect visual and sound FX on targets. SG12 Strobe Light Operator Mod: Addressed an issue with the Strobe Light where it would remain on after death. Live update coming soon to reduce the range at which the Strobe Light interferes with enemy aim. Attachments (All Weapons) Grip II Reduced ADS flinch mitigation. Suppressor Reduced damage falloff ranges. Holographic Sight Optic Reduced ADS recoil. Dual Zoom Optic Reduced ADS recoil. Recon Optic Reduced ADS recoil. ELO Optic Slightly increased ADS recoil. Specialists Ajax We’re providing more strategic options to counteract Ballistic Shield, and to help ensure the Shield isn’t activated too often in the same game. Explosives now apply partial damage to the front of a deployed Ballistic Shield user. Ballistic Shield now takes longer to earn. Nomad We want to encourage Nomad to work more closely with his K9-Unit to maximize effectiveness. Reduced K9-Unit health by 10%. Crash While we’re happy that our Support Specialist is so popular, he was a bit too effective as a Scorestreak farmer. Reduced “Teammate Used Pack” score event from +50 to +25. Firebreak Purifier has been restored to its former glory. Increased Purifier flame damage to be a guaranteed eventual kill against a player who doesn’t have Tactical Mask equipped. Recon Intelligence wins wars, and Recon is living proof. We have intelligence that Recon’s intelligence is too good, so we’re re-classifying some of his sources. Reduced Sensor Dart duration. Resolved an issue where voiceover would incorrectly state that the player’s Sensor Dart was destroyed. Torque Many in the community have embraced Torque with inventive playstyles, though he’s still struggling on a broader scale. We bolstered the effectiveness of his Barricade to ensure he stays relevant in team compositions. Increased earn rate for Barricade. Increased hit points for Barricade. Addressed an issue that prevented TAACOM from telling the player that their Barricade was taking damage. Prophet Prophet’s Tempest needed an upgrade to stand a chance of competing with the rest of the Specialists. Greatly increased Tempest projectile speed. Slightly increased Tempest chain distance. Resolved an issue where being hit by an explosive charge would disable the Tempest charge, preventing further arcing. Spawns Team Deathmatch Tuned spawn logic around how enemies impact where the game chooses to respawn the player. Spawn adjustments made for Slums, Summit, Militia, and Firing Range. Domination Spawn adjustments made for Icebreaker, Contraband, Hacienda, Payload, Gridlock, Slums, Summit, Militia, Jungle, and Firing Range. Hardpoint Tuned spawn logic tuning around how the active Hardpoint affects nearby spawns. This should provide more predictable spawns when battling over an active Hardpoint. Additional global spawn adjustments to improve the ability for a player to anchor a location for their team’s respawns relative to an active Hardpoint. Spawn adjustments made for Frequency and Seaside. Free For All Spawn adjustments made for Slums, Summit, Militia, and Firing Range. Control Spawn adjustments made for Slums, Summit, Militia, and Firing Range. Gear Stim Shot Increased time to fully heal the player. Armor Resolved an issue where Armor protected from more damage than intended when hitting areas of the body that have damage multipliers, such as the head or upper chest. This primarily affects weapons with chest modifiers, such as Sniper Rifles or weapons with High Caliber II. Acoustic Sensor Reduced the range at which sprinting enemies are detected. Perks Dead Silence Reduced player movement volume and distance that players equipped with Dead Silence can be heard by enemies. The intention for Dead Silence is not to be completely silent, but also not to allow enemies to hear your movement from longer distances. Engineer Extraction helicopter in Heist will no longer be highlighted by the Engineer Perk. Scorestreaks Mantis Resolved an issue where the Mantis could be destroyed by touching the Out-Of-Bounds area of a map. Dart Increased explosion radius and damage. Players can now use a second Dart when earning two Dart Scorestreaks. Strike Team Prevented Strike Team kills from contributing towards owner's kills without dying medals. Gameplay Reduced ranges required for Longshot Medals for Assault Rifles, Tactical Rifles, Submachine guns, and Light Machine Guns. Resolved an issue where the “Hard Stop” Challenge could reset before reaching 300. Resolved an issue where the “Marksman Mastery” Challenge would not give 10,000 XP upon completion. Resolved an issue where destroying friendly Scorestreaks would award score. Players can no longer crouch or go prone while performing a Gesture. Game Modes Increased XP earn rate in Heist. Increased amount of XP earned per kill in Free For All. Resolved an issue where Hardcore wins were not counted toward Challenges. Resolved an issue in Free For All where Recon players could receive Vision Pulse assist score. Silent Plant option in Custom Games should now make planting and defusing bombs completely silent. Maps Icebreaker Adjusted cover pieces to discourage players from spawn-camping. Added cover to the lower respawn side. Slums Adjusted cover pieces to discourage players from spawn-camping. Miscellaneous Several map fixes to address exploits that allowed players to leave the intended play space. Theater Theater files recorded before this update will no longer be viewable due to significant architectural changes to the system. As noted in our previous major update, we will make every effort to keep instances of incompatibility to a minimum. Added a watermark in the HUD that only displays when in Theater mode. Why this change? We often see players posting videos recorded from Theater as a demonstration of “poor hit detection” or other issues that appear to be incorrect. While Theater represents what happened in a match in a general sense, it does not reflect with 100% accuracy all of the details as they were experienced live. Live recorded gameplay footage is the more accurate method for reporting behavior in the game that is not performing as expected. With this change, we can better identify Theater clips when reviewing community videos and therefore filter them out for the more accurate live recorded clips. Audio Resolved issues that caused footsteps to sound muffled when they shouldn’t be. Blackout Playlists 100-Player Solos added to Featured playlist. Maximum player count set to 88 for Duos and Quads. Audio Tweaked settings to ensure friendly teammates’ footsteps are now quieter than enemy footsteps. Adjusted footsteps for all Armor types in first-person and third-person to give better directionality and distance information. Resolved an issue that occasionally caused footsteps to be silent. Resolved issues that caused footsteps to become muffled when they shouldn’t be. Armor Armor now allows more damage to pass through to areas of the body that have damage multipliers, such as the head or upper chest. For example, headshots now do more damage against Level 3 Armor. Character Missions Unlocked remaining Specialist Character Missions (Battery, Firebreak, Nomad, Prophet, Ruin, Seraph) “Item Found” Notifications To tag an item for your teammate, approach the Item and select the bottom center command on your Command Wheel. This will display the Item in text on your team’s HUD and highlight the item in the world for your team. Increased the brightness of Items when a teammate tags them as “Item Found” via the Command Wheel. Increased duration that Items tagged using “Item Found” are displayed in the world to your team. Calling Cards and Challenges Resolved an issue where completing Dark Ops Challenges would not unlock their associated Calling Card. Resolved an issue where certain Challenges rewarded the same Calling Card. UI Resolved an issue where the Altimeter could disappear during Infiltration. Resolved an issue where incorrect Inventory items could be shown while spectating another player. Miscellaneous Resolved an issue that allowed players to shoot through certain rocks. Improved visual quality of the grass. Resolved an issue where the After Action Report would show double damage when in Squads. Resolved an issue where Echelon Ranking wasn’t showing properly at Max Rank. Zombies Gameplay Increased XP earn rate for Hardcore and Realistic difficulties. Blood of the Dead Addressed an issue where the New Industries portal ghost remained visible from the start of the step. Fixed lever animation on the Power House ghoul in the Main Easter Egg Quest. IX Resolved an issue where players could be tossed outside the intended play space of the Boss Battle Arena. Resolved an issue where earning Mule Kick could take away all player weapons and money. Miscellaneous Resolved an issue preventing players from applying their Clan Tag or using the Kill Counter after weapon Prestige. Resolved an issue where the SG12 lost all attachments when Pack-A-Punched. Fixed multiple exploit spots in the maps. Fixed several stability issues associated with entering and exiting the Alchemy Lab at specific times. Earning additional Perks will now be displayed on the player’s HUD. Resolved issues with Prestige Master not functioning correctly. Resolved several issues with Custom Mutation options not working correctly. Resolved an issue where the wrong Camo could be displayed on a weapon. Resolved an issue where players were not getting revived when the DG-5 Power Plant ability had been enabled. Resolved several instances of Anywhere But Here not working when activated on a moving platform, like the gondola in Blood of the Dead. Fixed an exploit where players could keep their Special Weapon out indefinitely. General Social Players can now invite players who are online, but not in the game, to their in-game party. Miscellaneous Resolved an issue where particular weapon Camos would overlap weapon Optics. Resolved multiple issues with Paintjobs not showing up in-game. Resolved an issue where your Gun Rack would show up when inspecting other players. Resolved an issue where Emblems for other players would appear in lower resolution than expected in the Social menu. General stability fixes and performance improvements across Multiplayer, Blackout, and Zombies.

Separate to the game update I've just posted in a separate thread, this week is Double Gambit Infamy points to start with followed by Triple Infamy points by the weekend. If you're looking to get your reset, now's your chance. Little note though, try and win still. As Gary @techno pointed out some time ago, the last rank in Legend to get from 13k to 15k for reset, you have you win. Not lose 8 games out of 9 like I did last night 🙈
