is it worth playing? normally stay away form online gaming due to previous addiction issues
I don't think any Battle Royale will be that competitive to Fortnite if it isn't free to play just for beginners. Let alone as fun and good quality wise.What does everyone think about Black Out aka Call of Duty: Battle Royale.
I hate Call of Duty but this is the first game with a chance to challenge Fortnite for players.

I think battlefield is coming out with BR though. So it's about to get very, very interesting. AAA has entered into the fold with battle royal.Here is the COD Blackout trailer, my first time seeing it:
Now the trailer looks good, but I can't base things on how trailers look anymore. I will only get it after it's been out for months and have proven to be good. And if the price is right. If it's a separate download from their main game and much cheaper, that greatly increases the chance I'll get it.
Now this very well could be the finishing killing blow on PUBG imo. Fortnite has already destroyed it but it still is doing well enough in it's niche as the anti-Fortnite. It may always have it's loyal fan base, but COD is it's first competition as the more "realistic" type of shooter. The styles likely will be different enough, but a better game is a better game. Especially if they were going to release PUBG on Ps4, it may not be worth it to them. Now, I'd definitely play PUBG on Ps4 if it was free or cheap, but all of that is doubtful and I doubt they even bother putting resources into it after all this upcoming competition.
The interesting thing to me is COD trying to do a massive map with vehicles. I just can't see them doing that better than Battlefield. Maybe Battlefield doesn't come out with a BR, but still. I wonder how you even execute a BR from a game stand point while implementing helicopters, ships, etc. like this trailer is showing. If BF did a BR, I'd assume it wouldn't involve planes, tanks, etc. Perhaps ATV's or buggies to get around, but no heavy artillery. I can see maybe a place for that stuff in squads, which this trailer does seem to show squads and duo's. But it still seems hard to fairly implement vehicles that give a big advantage unless everyone has one, and then that wouldn't really be a BR.

I'm already hyped for the Battlefield reveal today regardless of what they do. But I'd lose my mind if they had a BR too. We will see. Trying to not get my hopes up. But it's smart for developers to take advantage of the BR train while they can. It almost seems like a must to be competitive right now. If COD has one but they don't, it actually gives COD a big leg up and that is their biggest comp.I think battlefield is coming out with BR though. So it's about to get very, very interesting.

Yeah, big open maps with vehicles is battlefields wheelhouse. Not so much for call of duty. It would be a big mistake for battlefield not to include this mode.I'm already hyped for the Battlefield reveal today regardless of what they do. But I'd lose my mind if they had a BR too.

Even though the games are very different and pretty much have their own fan bases set by now, this is the year where it could really sway some people to the other side depending on who executes a BR better. I'm sure COD is hoping to introduce people back over through the BR which they hope will make people also want to play their main game.
