I played my last match of the Blackout beta. Won't be checking in again till full release.
I'm not sure if any of you realize this but Blackout isn't great. It's essentially a better running PUBG. You know, PUBG, the game that's been hemorraging players since February due to, wait for it... game design issues. PUBG had the luxury of being the first BR for a lot of people, which allowed Bluehole to get away with a lot of design mistakes. Blackout doesn't have that luxury.
The Blackout hype will burst soon after launch (October 12th) for a few reasons. One, PUBG, Blackout, and BFV will all look and play relatively similarly, and as such, will spread players across 3 games. Two, Blackout is the bell of the ball right now because there aren't any hotly anticipated new releases to draw attention away. Come October and November, that changes.
Here's what Treyarch whiffed on...
Looting is a chore.
Map traversal is a chore/bore.
Matches last too long.
Combat is too repetitive.
This game simply don't have it. Don't be a prisoner of the moment.
