What are your thoughts after playing the Black Ops 4 Beta?

[Carlos]

PlayStation 4 owners had two Multiplayer betas. Other platforms got betas this weekend; Xbox One and PC got their chance this weekend. The next beta is going to be Black Out in September, so keep your Black Ops 4 game installed on your platform... (PS4, Xbox One, PC, doesn't matter)

So, what are your thoughts?

Honestly, I'm not impressed. I enjoy the feeling and smoothness of the controls but that's never been a problem in any Call of Duty. The MP itself feels very bland, boring and tired. Far too many things that show exact locations of enemies as well.

I'm hopeful for the Blackout beta though as the core game itself has good controls.

I think that the game is good, but the problem is that 5v5 and the size of the maps don't really work. You end up fighting the same person over and over again. It doesn't help, that the spawns are still broken as ever in these small maps. Especially in Contraband. You can wreck people in 4's or 5's if you know when and where the spawns are going to come up. I can't begin to tell you how many times I get pissed off when someone is RIGHT THERE in my spawn to kill me and leave me with no choice but to die. If you thought BO3's spawns are bad, wait until you get killed in 4's.

Camping is so bad in this game, it's amazing. I only camp because I need to wait for that stupid ability to fill up. I'm not hating on the ability, but I hate how long it takes for the R button's timer to fill up. However, other players camp just so they can hide like a bunch of scared lil' pansies.

I do like the core game, just I don't think the maps, and the playercount, along with the spawns will work in the long run. This part of the formula needs to change.

I like everything else. Call of Duty needs to change the formula from what it's used to. 10 years ago, it was acceptable to have 5v5, 6v6, or the standard 12v12 matches, but today, we'd have to have variety.

It's time.

Camping and spawn killing are staples in Call of Duty so I always expect that. That Vision Pulse thing though that I thought was ridiculous in BO3... now extends to your entire TEAM?!?! That's dumb.

Like who is going to use a useless dog when something like that is in the game.
