COD black ops 4 for newbies: Don't play
I am certainly not an expert in this game. As a matter of fact the reason why this post is going to be so short is because I am the opposite of that. I don't particularly care for FPS games, and especially not online multiplayer ones because they are are filled with 9-15 year olds who don't have to work and do nothing other and spec in such a game
Recently PS4 made Call of Duty Black Ops 4 free for Playstation Plus members and for all I know, that game might have been free the entire time it has exited. I don't know because i never paid it, or any other Call of Duty game, any mind.

So when i fired this game up i didn't pay much attention to the character creation because like every other game i don't give a shit unless you give me the option of looking like a stripper I am going to do for the default dude and look like everyone else.
I joined a game and was involved in i don't even know what, and was almost immediately sniped by a helicopter.... which i only know because apparently it is built into the game.

There's a map, there's ways to coop with pals, there tons of things that you apparently can do in this game to make it more interesting but for me, mostly it just consists for hiding in a bunker, briefly sticking your head up to look around and immediately getting killed by someone that has been playing the game since 2008.
When i late spoke to a friend of mine about "yo dood, what is this game all about? I just get OSK'd all the time" and he responded that yeah, if you haven't been playing COD for a decade you don't have a chance in it.
So I am speaking purely from the outside looking in but if that is the case than what the hell is going on there? I certainly hope they have a huge playerbase because if they lose them they certainly aren't doing a good job of getting new ones.
I can only run into a game zone so many times in a row and get my head blown off immediately so many times before I quit.
Oh yes every fps game is full of little "squeekers" who rage at everything... so sad that they are playing a game that is age rated.
i've watched a few clips of other people playing and it looks fun. I just wish that the guys that are camping the noobs at the spawn points would cut it out. It doesn't make the game fun at all for new people like this.
I only ever played the campaign actually. Never did the versus, I really should have done that with the group I have. Would of been fun, oh well beta over.
a friend of mine had reached some really high rank on the mobile version of COD and then tried to play this and experienced the same thing. I have PS plus account so i'll have a look at it later. Maybe there is a setting that we are justmissing about where there is a ranked and an open section. I have no idea. Don't do muchgaming these days.
