Treyarch finally respond to Combat Record complaints in Black Ops 4 ActivisionDirector of Game Design at Treyarch, David Vonderhaar, has responded to complaints regarding Call of Duty: Black Ops 4\u2019s in-game Combat Record system, after months of mystery. Combat Records have been a staple of more or less every Call of Duty game, particularly in recent years. The in-game stat-tracker allows you to study, in depth, a player\u2019s statistics, including KDR, scorestreak usage and medals earned. While not all Call of Duty games have it featured at launch, Black Ops 4 was released on October 12 2018, and, over 5 months into its cycle, still does not have the heavily requested feature \u2013 despite Treyarch alluding to them coming only a week after release. This has led to disapproval from the Call of Duty community, who want to see it added so they no longer rely on third party stat trackers to review theirs or other players statistics. This is typified in a Reddit post from user \u2018kris9512\u2019, who doesn\u2019t understand why it has not been implemented into Black Ops 4 yet, stating that all previous Black Ops titles have had Combat Record systems in which other players\u2019 stats can be viewed. Furthermore, they are frustrated at Treyarch\u2019s lack of an explanation for its delay, finishing with: \u201cIf it\u2019s not coming at all, all I ask is for an explanation as to why.\u201d The Reddit post is from a few months ago, but it prompted a reply from David Vonderhaar on Twitter on March 15, after a user sent him a screenshot of it. Vonderhaar, ever-amicable on social media, was happy to respond. \u201cGreat points,\u201d Vonderhaar replied. \u201cWe have an answer coming. I am not in the position to talk about it until we lock some things down.\u201d The Treyarch Director goes on to acknowledge it\u2019s a \u201cvalid question\u201d and an answer will be provided as soon as possible. Great points. We have an answer coming. I am not in the position to talk about it until we lock some things down. It\u2019s a valid question with a incoming answer ASAP. It\u2019s not quite as simple as people think \u2014but that\u2019s an excuse to come short of your expectations. \u2014 David J. Vonderhaar (@DavidVonderhaar) March 15, 2019 This follows previous criticism of Treyarch, when they allegedly made it harder to track players\u2019 stats, preventing certain third party sites from accessing the data. It\u2019s clear that Vonderhaar takes community feedback seriously, highlighted in his response here, as well as his generally friendly online nature, even in the face of fierce, sometimes explicit criticism.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
