Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Gunfight Dissection Further Adds to the Confusion on How Gunplay Works

Are you losing one-on-one gunfights in Black Ops 4 that you feel you should have won? This video adds to the confusion more. Watch the replay to see how odd the damage models and such are.

excaliburps1981d ago

LOL! This is just insane. I have no clue how this even computes. Fro 150 health, it drops to 50, etc. in a split-second.

Gardenia1981d ago

It's connection related. Because of D-sync, whatever happens on your screen is not always what happens on that server. I play hardcore so I don't have to shoot a whole clip in someone to win a gunfight. Also now that I have optical fiber I have a 1 ping and it's a real difference from my adsl 40 ping

fathertime44641981d ago

Now I agree with everything you said, except that you have a 1ping. Having built and worked on fiber networks for 13 years, there is absolutely no way possible for you to get a 1 ping unless you've got a state of the art node that takes the info from your console)PC, straight to the server you're playing on.
Anyone that knows how the systems work knows that there's at least 3devices before the fiber optic lines and that (unless you're directly connected to the server) several fiber optic (fusion) splices, and then at least, at least and highly unlikely at that two devices at the server end.

Gardenia1980d ago

It's a speedtest result which is always around 1 ping. Obviously that doesn't mean I have 1 ping in game. That is up to the technology of the servers and where they are stationed.

The point is, I have been playing multiplayer COD since COD4 and now that I finally have the best connection I can have, there is definitely a difference. I was the last in my country to have internet on a phone line in 2018

fathertime44641980d ago (Edited 1980d ago )

@gardinia
Your ping test is testing off of the closest net server from your provider to you. There's obviously a head end or a server bank near where you live. Yes your definitely not getting 1ping in game. Console, morem, node, fiber, node, industrial router, server, and then onward to the internet and then repeat process at game server farm. You're testing console, router, node, fiber, node, industrial router, server. It's all the closest to you and owned by your provider. A real test would be to ping test off of Yahoo, Google, or even Amazon . That test would provide you with a good idea of what your in game is

RNG damage to go with the RNG lootboxes. It has been like this for years.

NarooN1981d ago

Legit. I remember all the times I'd be aiming straight at someone and all 20 of my bullets would go right through their character model with me not even getting a single hit-marker, and then me promptly getting insta-gibbed. CoD has been hilariously bad when it comes to netcode and hitboxes for ages and it seems it won't change anytime soon.

Smok911981d ago

Perks and flak vest also impact damage models

excaliburps1981d ago

Yeah, but as far as I know, there's nothing that does this. You damage someone over 120 health, and you're not damaged at all, and then BOOM! You're health is 0 while they have 20 left. Crazy!

GameRant1981d ago

This has been this way since launch. It's terrible, also, there's no blood splatter or damage effect, just the crosshair expanding. It's terrible.

Cancelled Call of Duty Game "NX1" Gameplay Footage, Black Ops 4 "War" Mode" Surface

A cancelled Call of Duty game titled "NX1" had footage surface online, along with a Black Ops 4 unreleased mode called "War."

RaidenBlack127d ago

looks like the OG Infinite Warfare

Profchaos126d ago

Yeah it does look good wonder why it was canned

EvertonFC126d ago

Probably a proper game with no MT and they didn't see any profits 😂🤣

Name Last Name126d ago

That Neversoft logo took me back to Tony Hawk days. Sad to see this cancellation led to the studio closure.

Juancho51126d ago

It’s always sad to see great concepts destroyed so deep into development. They obviously had a lot of ideas and aren’t happy about it. Now withe layoffs even more videos like this will surface soon.

Xbox Fans Call Out 'Activision's Greed' Over Call Of Duty Digital Prices

This week's Deals with Gold selection on Xbox has rubbed certain Xbox fans the wrong way, as several Call of Duty titles are still ludicrously priced - despite being discounted by up to 67% off over the next few days.

How is 20 dollars for X360 call of duty games "ludicrously" overpriced?

And with Activision's lawer bills skyrocketing at the moment you are not going to be seeing deep discounts for a bit.

Chevalier1004d ago

Pretty sure that's the sale off that's 60% off. After the sale ends that 360 game is still listed at $49.99, right not its $19.99 because the 60% off.

VersusDMC1004d ago

I guess they can wait for the next sale then.

SullysCigar1003d ago

It's nice to see the Xbox community stand up for themselves though. That's been needed for a long time.

InUrFoxHole1003d ago

For a long time? Its the reason xbox is killing it this gen.

senorfartcushion1003d ago

Lawsuits don’t cost billions, they’re ALWAYS going to be fine for money.

They could stack their bills on the ground and fill half the continent of Africa at this point.

RaiderNation1003d ago

Because Xbox fans are so used to playing games on the Xbox EBT subscription service, the idea of paying anything for a game seems ludicrous to them.

MadLad1003d ago (Edited 1003d ago )

You pay for the service.

Do you have Amazon Video?
Hulu?
Netflix?

It's a subscription service. Not a charity. You're literally going at people over the idea of using a pro consumer service, and that's the real joke here.

thorstein1003d ago

When records were sold, they were eventually replaced by tapes, which cost less to manufacture, but more to buy. Then CDs came along and were cheaper to manufacture, but cost more at retail. Digital, of course, is the cheapest yet, but billion dollar corporations want to charge the same.

And no, that money is not going to the person sitting in the chair actually making the game.

It is pure and utter greed from people who don't need any more money.

InUrFoxHole1003d ago

Lol calm down Bobby. You crapped on thus franchise.

"Many have also noted how the multiplayer in several of these titles is either dead or filled with hackers, meaning players are paying a hefty sum for a short campaign and potentially some zombie modes."

With these clear truths the decades older COD games should be permanently 19.99 regular price and sale prices 7.99 minimum

autobotdan1003d ago

Typo sale prices 2.99 minimum and 9.99 maximum. Older COD tiles seven years old or older should never be over 20 dollars regular price

senorfartcushion1003d ago

I have paid less than 3 dollars for some AAA PS4 games, old 360 CoD games should not be $20

FanboysKiller1003d ago

Any fps game runs by the quirk engine follows this logic
Eat
Sleep
Die instantly
Repeat
As if the main purpose of the game more of "repeat" than the actual gameplay experience , any noob in this game will tell you his mind stucked in repeating the sequence number of deaths than the gameplay itself , what a complete pile of #.

EvertonFC1003d ago

It's why I don't play cod anymore, my 45yr old hands can't compete with these kids 😂 🤣
1 kill to every 10 deaths is not fun

John_McClane1003d ago

Don't let that stop you if you enjoy the game, it's actually pretty good for hand/eye coordination.

lipton1011003d ago

Try Escape from Tarkov. It forces you to slow down and think. I’m not a fan of the ADD speed of CoD

Father__Merrin1003d ago

All the back compat titles are cheap listing when you scroll through them u till you come to black ops it's a complete rip off

Rhythmattic1003d ago (Edited 1003d ago )

Well... Don't buy it..... Is it really that hard to comprehend?
Everything else you choose to purchase with your hard earned cash , so should games be held to the same reasoning....
Just don't give em the cash....

Entitlement that's bizarre, from the publisher and from the consumer.... Thats pretty fkd up if you think about it...

GhostofHorizon1003d ago

It's hilarious that some people don't see this as an option.

MadLad1003d ago

Bananas now cost $30 a pound. There's no good reason for it, but if you want bananas, there you go.

You don't have to buy them.

It's about their constant greed when handling the franchise. Nobody has to buy anything, but when a company doesn't follow corporate norms when selling their product; overpricing their old wares just because they can, the consumer is allowed to call that out.

GhostofHorizon1003d ago

Consumer can call them out, but I think they are going about it the wrong way.

The reason they get away with everything they do is simply because they can. They can charge $20 for a skin pack because people will gladly buy it. There is plenty of competition for FPS games, it's not like it's a niche market.

I know it's easier to blame and demand better from Activision than people that keep buying these overpriced items. If they weren't being bought, Activision would lower the price though. People like to pretend to take the high road but wouldn't you rather sell the banana for $30 than $3 if people are willing to buy it?

franwex1003d ago

@therealtedcruz

I think there’s a virus destroying the banana and may even go extinct. So maybe that’s why.

I think it’s happen before too.

MadLad1002d ago

A small subset buys those skins and whatnot. Most players don't. The "whale" mindset is pretty accurate across the board, where there's a small handful who buy a lot, and most who don't buy any. Either way, that means they're imposed on the majority either way.

That's different from overpricing your game though. Activision easily makes their money off every release, then milks it until the next release, then throws it away. They never put significant sales on even a release from several cycles ago. Whether it sells or not.

And I mean, yeah; if I were a business, I'd probably want to make as much money as possible.
But I'm not a business; I'm a consumer, thus I find many businesses to be complete assholes.

Rhythmattic997d ago

And people are still blaming the high prices but suggest they're still wiling to buy it... Not too smart are you peoples....

Its a non regulated pricing structure, sure , many play by the status-quo , but to actually complain by complaining, instead of standing your ground and not buying it, by buying it , you are the reason its happening....

Idiots, Idiots everywhere.... What? So those that are complaining don't want to pay the money, but cant do without it?

FFS. Entitlement level 5000...
Drink some cement and harden the Fk up!

Sitdown1003d ago

The article and title isn't saying that people are buying it, its simply saying that they are calling them out for greed. I guess you had a problem with people calling out Microsoft for trying to increase the price of Live, and don't understand how voicing concern led to them backing away from the decision.

Teflon021003d ago

People need to put that energy into Nintendo's Pricing over Activisions tbh. They're focused on the wrong things

Rhythmattic997d ago (Edited 997d ago )

Greed? Ok... Dont buy it and prove that by being greedy , they got it wrong... Not that hard to understand is it?
To Add... I haven't bought Cod since MW2.... Because of these exact practices.... Fact.
