Topic: Modern Combat: Blackout

@Shiryu I just need something for my CoD fix is all. I am not impressed with Black Ops 4 and playing older CoD games is just asking for trouble with hackers and such. I saw this and I thought it could scratch that itch.

@Tasuki I think you will be pleasantly surprised. And definitely a plus on Switch: No hackers so far.

still cant play annyone?

@jeniffotoch hi mate updating right now so fingers crossed

@jeniffotoch all back up and online

I don't understand what happened to all you guys, I never had any issue from day 1. Was this a regional thing, I wonder...

@Shiryu hi mate god knows glad to get back on

Right, if anyone still hasn't got back into the game, update 1.0.24 is now live on Switch:

• Fixed an issue that prevented some users from logging into online modes after several hours of online play.
• Fixed a source of framerate drops during moments of high action. We will cap the framerate at 30fps in both docked and portable mode.
• Added a Field of View slider to the settings, allowing players to customize how zoomed-in the camera is by default.
• Increased the range of Camera Speed settings for further fine-tuning.
• The “Shop” has been renamed the “Black Market” to help clarify that there are no micro-transactions in the game.
• Fixed a bug that disconnected online players from the server when a Joy-Con detached from, or lost communication with, the system.
• New visual improvements, including higher quality reflections on armor.
• Fixed a bug that caused the min and max League Points to be incorrectly displayed.
• Fixed a bug in the Dynamic Resolution feature that prevented it from working properly.
• Disabled the 180° turn feature from the 2nd control scheme._

Glad to see the one button 180º go, sad to see the game locked back to 30fps for possibly ever, but oh well... see all online!

Still looking for recruits to join in our squad! Here is an epic round from last night.

@Shiryu I might join ya as my squad only has 2 people lmao

That be great because I don't seem to be able to get enough people online at the same time to do Squad battles.
Even if we don't do them, we can still reach Squad goals faster and that means more money for everyone.

Well, some good news. It seems that Gameloft IS listening which is quite refreshing in my experience. When you're playing online in high tiers it is currently impossible to find any enjoyment in the game due to everyone using auto-tracking guns and the shoulder cannon. The first balance patch has been submitted and should arrive within a week.

Upcoming balance patch!

Hey guys,

I'm really happy to inform you that we are almost ready to release MCB's first balance patch that will address the following concerns:

Multiplayer Aim Assist

Weapon Balance

Improved RPGs

Improved LMGs

Rebalanced Sapper Class

As an additional note, you will notice both the Sapper weapon AAW-1 and the Bounty Hunter's SLS-3 have been modified. Here are the detailed changes:

AAW-1 [Tier 1]

Reduced Min Damage from 8 to 6

Reduced Max Damage from 10 to 8

Reduced Weapon Range from 200 to 40

Decreased Target Lock Range from 100 meters to 15 meters

Increased Target Lock Time from 0 to 1 second

SLS-3 [Tier 1]

Reduced Min Damage from 22 to 10

Reduced Max Damage from 23 to 12

Reduced Weapon Range from 200 to 40

Decreased Multitargeting from 3 to 1

Decreased Target Lock Range from 30 meters to 15 meters

We hope this small change improves the experience overall while we release the full patch notes next week!

Hopefully these nerfs to the auto-tracking weapons and boosts to RPGs brings back the fun to the online component of the game.

I am very tempted to get this, got some points and leftover money in my account, so might use that to try this.

Been looking for a shooter for Switch, didn't realise this was out and about.

Edit: Looking at the footage above, the game kind of reminds me of black ops classified on Vita. Same sort of style etc to it.
