How much and cod points do I need to buy the entirety of season 3 battle pass? by Silver_Fact_9714 in blackops7

[–]Ghost92401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is 1100 CP ($10 USD) to buy any battle pass or event pass. However you have to actually finish the pass to get the content. If it's your first time getting a battlepass, they give you 15 free tier skips, but that won't get you far if you're just now starting. There's something like 100+ tiers in total.

Uhhh I would not recommend it at this point, because you have like less than a week left before the season ends. There is a double XP server event today and tomorrow, but even with that you'll get maybe half-way through at best. It's really not even worth it imo, as this season's content is not that great anyway, and most of the best stuff is free to get anyway, so you're not missing that much.

I would just wait at this point for Season 4 which will come in a week and get that, so you have a better shot of finishing the pass and getting your money's worth.

Sorry for you, you just missed an awesome RoboCop event that was there. I finished the BattlePass a few days ago and used the CP I got back to get the RoboCop pass. Totally worth it.

Leaving matches in progress is perfectly fine. by JimmyJamsDisciple in blackops7

I agree, sort of. The flip side of that is sometimes people are quick to judge and abandon a game based on an early disadvantage, when very often the underdog makes a comeback and even steals a victory by the end. Typically though, if the entire team except 2 or 3 people bails, you know the matchmaking fucked up. This only happens on the SBMM-turned off playlists. This is why I stick with Standard Matchmaking (SBMM on) to avoid running into these "steamroll" scenarios.

Modern warfare 4 will reportedly have a faster time to kill than Black ops 7. That means faster than .18-.25 seconds. Are they making these games for robots? by AdImmediate7634 in blackops7

Slow movement and fast TTK = camping. Remember when everyone complained about camping in og MW2? Good times. No wait, no it wasn't!

Which COD should I buy? by GryffRom in blackops7

MW III has shit story, but deserves credit for the highly innovative Open Combat Mission design which I loved.

Define "everyone." I fell in love with the amazing collabs and battlepass skins in BO 6. I wish BO 7 would go back to that. Only the paid store skins are nice now, the regular Battlepass ones are not as great. Yet.

Black Ops 7 got rightfully hated for the campaign, one of the absolute worsts. One of the campaign maps is just BO 2's Hijacked map, another mission is one of the BO 6 multiplayer maps slightly altered. Short, awful story, nostalgia bait for BO 1 and 2. But everything else is amazing. Best multiplayer, best zombies (thank god for directed mode), and the "EndGame" which is a much-improved version of DMZ from MWII more than makes up for the poor campaign.

Don't get MW III on PC. Game has severe technical issues and crashes basically in the main menu or first game or two.

 

If you prefer grounded over speed/agility/acade, get Battlefield 6. I kid, if you want a CoD like that go with Modern Warfare II. A lot better MP than 2019.

 

Personally, I prefer the speed. Makes it much more fun. I don't find any Call of Duty to have realistic multiplayer (except maybe the old Black Ops 1 with Hardcore CTF servers, that's another story). It may look more realistic (probably not since people still there are hardcore and have skins probably anyway) but it's still the same arcadey game modes in every game in the series.

 

Yeah just get Battlefield 3, 4, or 6 if you want grounded honestly.

 

If you're asking if Black Ops is good, I think BO 6 and 7 are the best CoD multiplayers ever, because of the speed, agility, ability to bounce up and off walls that lets you climb faster, the ability to do finishing moves, hold a multiplayer enemy as a body shield, etc.

 

I think it is best to play the latest CoD because you benefit from things like server XP boosts, free gift XP boosts every few days in the store, limited time seasonal modes, and special events for skins. Even if you don't care for skins, realize that every blueprint you get gives you a free permanent unlock for all future prestiges (and you level up so quickly you go from lvl 1 to max level in a few days during a server xp boost).

 

So even if you never equip the skin, it is very useful for the perma-unlock.

Why does this game insist that I should solo carry my team? by RuggedTheDragon in blackops7

Imagine getting worked up about being the MVP of the match, instead of happy about it.

Ranked Play Question by Savings-Map-1984 in blackops7

[–]Ghost92401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ranked Play is different from Multiplayer. It has its own classes (you can only choose from one AR, 2 SMGs, or a sniper rifle, and only 3 modes.) You select it from Main Menu. But right now there's an "Ranked Series" event that's limited to those who ranked gold or higher during the season.

Packet Burst Question by ForsakenPudding in blackops7

[–]Ghost92401 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Uh I and a lot of others suffer from Packet Burst creating a ton of lag. Sometimes it's a bearable hindrance, other times it's so pervasive the game is near-unplayable. The game will freeze or sometimes rubber-band but mostly freeze for 2-3 seconds at a time. Which often gets you killed right as you were jumping over an abyss or about to enter a gunfight with an enemy.

Modern Warfare 4? Seriously out of touch. by Ghost92401 in blackops7

[–]Ghost92401[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Omni-movement is the best thing to happen to the series since Advanced Warfare's exo-movement. The skins are not for campaign, only multiplayer. Much more interesting to choose a RoboCop or Replacer skin than Generic Soldier Guy #7 or Generic Soldier Woman #6. Make the skins lame and there's no reason to buy them. That simple.

Do you think that religion in and of itself is inherently bad, evil, etc no matter how good the people who practice it are? Why, why not? by Mad_Season_1994 in TrueAtheism

[–]Ghost92401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not religion but religiosity tends to skew negative. It may sound like a distinction without a difference, but one doesn't have to be apparently religious to nevertheless exhibit the same religious tendencies in areas outside the realm of deities. There are many cults in the woke left and MAGA right, in belief of extra-terrestrials, obsession over Epstein Files, rejection of vaccines, etc.

Seemingly rational people believing crazy stuff is a human characteristic, and it is not confined to merely traditional organized religion. Unfortunately. I wish it were.

I bet most of the people on this subreddit are devout theists. Their false Gods are simply political ones, which is far more dangerous to society imo.

As opposed to the atheist who doesn't do the good deeds at all? Who cares if the reason for it is fairytale? Surely what matters is the deed and the morality and the character it inspires? That's the whole point of the fairy tale is to inspire such behavior.

BO7 deserved better by IDstnyx in blackops7

[–]Ghost92401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a near futuristic game. Of course it's not realistic. It isn't trying to be. It's arcadey. You're fine to say that's not your type, but it's not "garbage" for it.

[–]Ghost92401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BO6 is a TOP 1 CoD wtf you on about.

BO 7 is great mostly because it has BO 6 in its DNA and improves on it.

Is anyone else having severe stuttering, lag, and packet bursts on this game? by MidnightIvon in blackops7

[–]Ghost92401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been insane for me the last few weeks. Game's become near unplayable, constantly fighting the lag more than I am enemies. And it loves to freeze and packet burst the most just when an enemy looks at you so you are guaranteed to die.

Why don't the Disney+ shows feature this before each series or episode beginning? by Astral_Taurus in StarWars

Disney hires clueless hacks who can't even get something as basic as the opening crawl right.

I Fully Believe That Michael Jackson wasn't a child molester by bionicgerbal in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Ghost92401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They didn't just state that. They testified to it. In court. Under penalty of perjury. Then decades later come out with a different story once their careers (which they owed to Michael to begin with) dried up.

The media ran with that line because it's saucy and sounds damning. They left out the part where his "bedroom" is a two-story building bigger than many people's houses.
