    i haven't played CoD since Black Ops 1 and this is precisely the same thing except there is NO singleplayer.

    The netcode is an absolute joke. Hit boxes feel huge and all your shots connect. It may be nice for consoles but on PC, this is just an absolute joke.

    Most maps are from Black Ops 1 too

    I regret buying it and I wish I could sell it.

    What a shame how treyarch has destroyed a legacy game for the sole purpose of profit. Buying a game is like an interactive book and the story is what I myself buy them for because I want to enjoy a good bit of fiction with a goal. Enough of this cookie cutter multiplayer crap with DLC hopes because every game previous to this that was mutiplaher has failed because it just became redundant trash. Honestly I truly think they play on the new gamers every year coming of age to play and parents keep buying this garbage to appease them. The gaming community is upside down with greed and the gamers suffer for it.

    Gone are the days of blockbuster engines that produce insanely beautiful and smooth graphics, now it’s being out an ancient overplayed engine and soon new models and call it a game again and again.

    I’m a PC gamer from the days of old and I spend thousands on new hardware annually to have the best. Then pieces of garbage like this come out and it has me wondering why the PC gaming community has shrunk so badly. Because you can’t return the game and the games coming out don’t require new hardware annually because of stale dated engines that produce the same crap over and over again in a different wrapper.

    Thanks Treyarch you’ve successfully trashed another once first class title and reduced it to a doorstop.
    My advice, Fire who is leading this abortion of a development team and actually work to make a title with buying. Treyarch should be ashamed of themselves.    … Expand

    For PC, on release, this game has more bugs than an Anthill. One would think that with a 980 TI, 16 gb ram, and a 8700k that everything would be smooth for a cod title which usually implies fairly low stress on components but alas this was definitely not the case. Every 2-3 games the game crashes. Textures flicker on everything. textures disappear, The game reset my video settings for framerate after a crash. The game runs at highly variable frame rate. The game stutters. The game freezes. The game forgets perks you were using. The netcode is either alright or completely amiss. What the hell Treyarch? Also, the game has no campaign. Zombies is the only good thing about it, and everything else is just hype and bland gameplay. Theres no skins to farm, hardly any weapons. Alot of maps are recycled making you feel like you are playing an older title black ops. This game should be worth around 20-30$ and feels like an indie developer was struggling to make it. They banked on the hype of their Battle royale mode, which honestly is extremely shallow. I'd rather stick to fornite/pubg than the fast paced mockery of a BR title that's in this game. definitely regret the purchase.    … Expand

    Hardly even a complete game. There is very little content, and one that is in is dull and boring. 20$ game at best. Very few people playing too. Glitches all around. No improvement of any kind compared to previous game. Blackout is more dynamic then PUBG but over PUBG, with all its glitches, does it better. Waste.

    Black Ops 4 is literally Black Ops 3.5.

    It's not innovating and not fun at all, here's why. 1) It's now only on the Blizzard client which means they cut the user-base more than half. Why not release it on both Blizzard and Steam? No harm, no foul. 2) $60. For $60 you get Multiplayer/competitive, Battle Royale and Zombies. Back then (years ago) we got, a Campaign,    Black Ops 4 is literally Black Ops 3.5.

    2) $60. For $60 you get Multiplayer/competitive, Battle Royale and Zombies. Back then (years ago) we got, a Campaign, Multiplayer/competitive and Zombies. Now you pay more for less. They put all their development resources into Battle Royale so they skipped out on the Campaign.

    3) Battle Royale. 80% of players who bought Black Ops 4 are playing Blackout, the Battle Royale mode in this game. It's not a standalone game, not free or let's say $5 - 20 dollars, it's an add-on which means this tacked-on gamemode will die once the next Call of Duty comes out. Horrible business model. Did I mean it's unbalanced which it needs the standalone release for consistent updates?

    4) Remastered maps. The development team lost it's "soul" and they just recreate old maps and make them "new" in order to not make new maps. Back to the not being innovating.

    5) Operators. These "specialists" are basically Operators from Rainbow Six: Siege now. Back to the not being innovating.

    6) Server tick-rate is low which means locked FPS.

    7) Gameplay. Everyone is "squishy." You need to put 2 - 3 magazines into someone in order to kill them. Hardcore is best way to play for this type of game. If not, have fun going around a corner and someone camping it.

    Non-PC issue:
    7) No cross-platform, Xbox players and PlayStation players can't play with each other.    … Expand

    Unfortunately Black ops 4 is "Meh" at best. The BR-Mode is polished but sadly ... Pubg does it better. The MP brings nothing new, definitely not worth 59.99 Euros, more like 29.99. Would refund if I could.

    More like Lack Ops.

    I played the Beta for this game prior to its release, as i've done with each CoD, out of morbid curiosity and to confirm them as being not worth a purchase.

And yet, each manages to be even worse then the preceding game each time, in this case by taking the already used and abused "character shooter" setup, providing even more ways to die to something you didn't see coming, and injecting, of all the half-baked dimwittery, a "battle royale" mode. They even had the unmitigated gall to not even bother adding a singleplayer campaign, the only part of CoD that was ever any real fun. Oh and for the diuretic icing on the **** sundae, there's microtransactions. And if the betas for WW2, Black Ops 3 and this game were any indication, the downward spiral persists to this day. The one for Infinite Warfare didn't even work. One of these days CoD will get so bad it will actually lose Activision a a lot of money, and then we can put this undead franchise back in the ground where it belongs.

    Graphics are really Sh**ty almost no progress system in black out (BR) - just some character skins that u unlock at really high levels that are not easy to come by or by doing some stupid hard things before winning a match.

    All in all I payed 60$ for a Triple A title, and got something worse and with less content than an indie studio can (AND HAS) develop like PUBG.

    One last point, the Black Out map (yes only one!) is about the size of sanhok from PUBG so about 4x4 and given the fast paced gameplay that COD normally has that is WAY WAAAAAY to small. Literally no place you can parachute that is safe so you can learn the game or have time to check what attachments do and all that.

It's flashy at first glance, designed to impress and draw you in but, ultimately, it feels empty and disappointing unless you are ready to spend more money to go "all in". The influence of Activision's bottom line is apparent in this game to the point that it distracts, which is a shame, because the shell of this thing is still just as promisingly solid as it was with Black Ops 2.

    The Multiplayer game play is solidly “Black Ops”. You spawn, shoot, progress, and repeat, which is as rewarding as it has ever been, for better or worse. Each level of progression gained grants you a new toy to equip and play with and each new toy typically has different attachments to earn, as has been the norm with CODs since time immemorial. As in other Black Ops titles, one can "Prestige" their player level and gear, trading off the minor inconvenience of having to unlock everything again with the benefits of unique identity markers, a permanent unlock token, and unspoken bragging rights. On a side note for weapon progression: The Operator Mod feature, new to the Black Ops series, allows the player to modify a weapon in ways that change its fundamental performance, sometimes to its benefit but also, sometimes, to its detriment. Barring balancing issues, this feature has a lot of potential and should be considered a "keeper" for the series going forward. It keeps weapons that may have started to grow stale a little more “fresh”.

    In addition to Multiplayer, the Blackout and Zombies modes are satisfyingly robust for what they are. Very little change is needed to make these formulas work.
    The multiple Zombies scenarios are interesting, if not a little convoluted, and I can see myself trying to puzzle them out for many months to come, most likely eventually caving in and looking up strats on youtube. One important note on Zombies: If possible, ensure you have a good group of online friends that will talk to you. Playing solo and silent is a singularly depressing experience.

    Blackout is what probably drew a lot of the pre-sale numbers we're seeing and some of that hype is well-deserved. The map is solid and the movement around it feels properly athletic. Even out in the dangerous open, you don’t feel completely vulnerable. Aside from some minor item spawn problems, a typical Blackout experience is an enjoyable one, regardless of preferred BR play style. I do enjoy the inclusion of tier rewards in Blackout, since it’s really the only place you can utilize the numerous gestures (what happened to emoting on a “winner’s circle screen at the end of Multiplayer rounds, Treyarch?!?!) and sprays that seems to fill the Black Market inventory to the brim. Having played a fair bit of PUBG and Fortnight, I personally think Blackout is the best version of BR out there right now.

    Alas, Activision’s gonna Activision, so those enjoyable elements predictably deliver a fleeting and hollow satisfaction when shadowed by the COMPLETELY AVOIDABLE drawbacks present in Black Ops 4.
    The game still crashes regularly in all modes, usually when the action gets intense and you are fully invested in ducking, dodging, and diving. When a crash happens, all progression gained during that round is lost. Nothing is worse than making it to a top 5 situation in Blackout, specialist achievement requirements met for an unlock, 10 kills under your belt, only to suffer a dreaded “Jaded Mamba” error. It wouldn’t be as bad if we still got to keep our progression but, again, Black Ops 4 fails to meet basic expectations and leaves us wanting more.

    OK, the big one. The main contention, BY FAR, I have with Black Ops 4 is the micro transaction and Black Market tier reward schemes. Regardless of what your opinion is on if the rewards are worth it, this is a clearly manipulative system designed to coerce players with more money than sense into spending to achieve higher rewards. In a free to play game, this behavior could be considered acceptable, but Black Ops 4 is not a free to play game. It is disgusting to require players to pay at least $60 for the opportunity to pay more for content that is locked behind additional pay walls.

    In conclusion, Activision, you've done it again. You've taken a solid game play experience with a rich history and continued to chip away at everything people love about it in an attempt to make more money. I hope it comes back to bite you in the ass one day.    … Expand

    Blackout: It's fun - the saving grace of this release.

    Standard multiplayer: A nauseating blend of poorly balanced maps, weapons, arcade style gun play, 'special' [magic] abilities, bunny hopping, knee-sliding, quick scoping, akimbo-wielding, 'score streaks' and 'operators' [heroes?]. In other words, it's a giant f***ing mess. Like all the CoD's from the past 10 years, this is a    Blackout: It's fun - the saving grace of this release.

    In other words, it's a giant f***ing mess.

    Like all the CoD's from the past 10 years, this is a casual fps experience which rewards unrealistic and arcade style play - bunny hopping around a corner and quick scoping an opponent sounds fine, except the hit boxes are huge and the reticle barely needs to cross the body for the shot to register as a hit.

    This is quite common for console FPS games, which have to mitigate for the lack of dexterity/accuracy a controller provides, but on PC feels cheap and unskilled.

    At this rate, this game will likely lose 90% of it's current player base within 6 months, leaving roughly 5k people worldwide on pc, not unlike every other CoD for the past decade. If you like playing TDM for the next +/- year until the next cod release, go right ahead.

    I would say otherwise if they removed all the perks and abilities, operators and score streaks, and took this back to being a bare bones fps (where it came from) - but that won't happen. Even if the game is losing millions of players per release, so long as it sells a million on consoles, it will continue to be based around that demographic.

Killstreaks give rewards such as Bombardmends, automatic turrets etc. This means the better team gets massive additional firepower, and the weaker team gets really devastated. So if you are in the inferior team, prepare to suffer.
    This leads me to the next problem: players quit as soon as they see they are in the weaker team. Understandable, who wants to get kicked in the ass by the soon coming enemy rewards? This means that often its a 1 or 2v5 in multiplayer. Sounds like fun? Not to me...
    There seems to be no balancing. Either you are the far superior team, or you get pounded.
    In addition, the game rewards you playing more by unlocking weapon and general perks. Meaning the longer you play, the deadlier your weapons and your character become. So this is again a slaughterfest for new players. yaaay. I've grinded myself through the process to get the best weapons, and let me tell you, it is a night and day difference. Still, all that kept me motivated was getting better stuff, so the game would suck less. And it does, but it still sucks.
    The weapons do have different effective engagement distances, and need different playstyles, which is good I guess. There is always one weapon that is far far superior to the others. Guess how long it takes to unlock the best low to midrange weapon (the dubble uzi like weapon)? Yes, you have to level up all the way.

    The multiplayer maps are small and built in a way that you cannot jump on a lot of objects. It is very restrictive. You have to learn what you can and cannot do in these maps.
    The graphics are very "plasticy". Other games have far superior visuals. If the game does not crash, however, it is very smooth and I did not detect many framedrops.

    Zombie mode is ok. Battle royale still suffers from a very low tickrate, so is no fun to play,

    I wish I could return the game. I will never buy another CoD. In a year the player base is probably gone just like with the older cods. Needless to say, if the tickrate in the beta was as low as it is now, and if I could have played the multiplayer part, I would NEVER have purchased it. So thanks activision for luring me into buying what I did not want.    … Expand

    This is the worst FPS gaming experience I have ever had. I stopped buying COD games 8 years ago and hoped something had changed with the series. NOPE, they still do not care/understand the importance of having Dedicated Servers for a PC game. I am disconnected from a match multiple times a day, you cannot have a clan server, you cannot control who comes and goes, lag switches, etc.

    'Black Ops 4 brings nothing new to the gaming industry'.

    If you're looking for a quick FPS that's full of old elements of gameplay from its predecessors, look no further.

    If you're looking for a quick FPS that's full of old elements of gameplay from its predecessors, look no further. As one of many of Call of Duty's longtime playing fans, I was utterly disappointed with the approach the developers had taken with this game from the start. The hasty decision to remove a Singleplayer campaign, accompanied with the return of three remastered predecessors' maps was a show of laziness in several areas of the game. Adding Blackout to this game (Battle Royale mode) is, seemingly, pushing players away from the base multiplayer game modes. By sacrificing the game's singleplayer, it evidently loses elements of purpose and a 'hey I've been here before on campaign' moment.

    Call of duty's biggest selling point was its storyline (including Black Ops), where the singleplayer acted as a training ground to encourage players to take in the environment around them.

    The preorder sales seem to be judging this game as good, but in reality, people are buying this game for the 'fortnite' element and not for the mutiplayer modes. It seems that Activision has taken the simple approach of making as much as they can, with no regard to the quality of what their making, as we've seen with their previous games in the past.

    The departure of Directors and people with a focus for quality storylines and gameplay like Robert Bowling (forever remembered as Modern Warfare's mastermind) and Dave Anthony (Black Ops' mastermind) has clearly taken a toll on the game's future and direction.

    Activision needs to have a serious meeting with their directors or find new ones with a mindset for building quality, jawdropping, and realistic gameplay that will draw back from its roots to regain its lost fanbase. The new fanbase that its attracting (fortnite/battle royale players) is putting its future at risk with competing with games that have a sole player base and purpose, and could knock Blackout with infrastructure improvements.

    Overall this game for me is a 'Do Not Touch' as nothing has improved or changed since CoD WW2 or Black Ops 2.    … Expand

    This game feels like it's free to play competition and I mean this in multiple ways, firstly the gameplay:
    This games UI tricks you into thinking this game will play solid as its well designed and shows off tonnes of weapons and abilities and cool slick new characters, it doesn't, the game feels like a bad free to play game, the time to kill is so high that I thought I was playing World of Tanks. (ha, get it?)

    With discount servers, poor hit detection and balance that seems it was formulated under the influence of certain substances, this game really does feel hollow and fundamentally broken.

    With the "boots on the ground promise" freshly on my mind I was surprised to find out that this game has more frantic movement in it than Fortnite, players jumping around and sidestepping at high speeds paired with terrible servers makes this game feel just "Ugh".

    Again with the comparison to free to play shooters, this games cosmetics are mostly locked behind a "battlepass" type build where players must complete challenges and earn EXP in order to unlock cool looking character and weapon skins.

    While you don't have to pay monthly like fortnite for it, it's extremely slow (some believe purposefully) to entice players to buy COD coins? COD gold? COD points? whatever they are called to push progression further forward. (Games as service remember guys)

    Now onto one of the biggest reasons for my low score. Optimization, the game runs at a solid 120fps or 60fps when i enabled the framelimiter, I do not have performance issues with this game.

    I have massive stability issues instead, my game never crashes but the game does try to use 100% at all times of my CPU (I5 7500) and will freeze and microstutter every so often.

    This made the game unplayable for a good 3 months since release until 2 days ago Nvidia stepped in to fix the game with a Driver update, because Beenox are terrible at porting games.

    This all said, the 2 actual points i'm giving this review belong to the Zombies modes, extremely well done, love the storytelling of a mindless gamemode, it shows that the team who works on it are actually competent.

    The Blackout mode is basically PUBG with the muitiplayer assets so no credit there.

    2/10 Activision should have an In-house studio working on PC games, with that much raw resource and pull they have no excuse for a game this horrible. How the critics gave this anywhere over 5 really is an indictment on how corrupt game journalism is.

    The maps are straight up trash, I don't feel like I have freedom I feel like I can't move in places I want to go. The balancing is straight up trash I mean where can you use snipers? Probably on 1 map (If you didin't buy the DLC maps) + **** the DLC don't even want to talk about that) shotguns are straight up OverPowered. All of the maps are 90% close range which make rifles trash and just useless almoust all the time.

    Lastly local player base is not very big so have to wait ages for a blackout game. Again this comes down to the fact that this game costs a fortune.

    1. 150 health NEEDS TO GO. This irritates me the most cause nobody asked for this and whats worse is that people who only use the knife or coin bag can literally tank AR shots when running straight towards me. needs to go back to 100 hp.

    2. Specialist NEED TO GO. I see what route they are trying to take and it's not working at all. I bought this game because I want to play casually but this is far worse than Destiny 2 quickplay. I am tired of dying by stuff that is literally out of my control.

    3. Spawns are the worse thing in this game. You spawn and then the enemy spawns right behind you. This happens even in Free for All

    4. Servers are just trash. I check my on speedtest.net to see if I was crazy but my ping is a 23. WHY IS THE GAME LAGGING SO MUCH IF I HAVE GOOD CONNECTION.

    5. Hit registration is a F-ing joke. The first 5 bullets don't even count and then it's starts to register but it's already to late because the other kills you. And the worst part about this is that most of the time, I shoot first.

    6. Leveling in this game is so damn slow. If I wanted to level up slowly, I would play Destiny 2. The worst part about this is, The best guns are locked behind this slow ass leveling.

    7. The weapons in this game suck. I can say that in almost every call of duty game the weapons in the game went from good to better to great. The guns suck. Even Black ops 3 weapons were good and everybody was on the same conscious level that BO3 was bad.

    Overall this game sucks. I wish I could get my money back but I can't. I spent 2 days playing to see if i was crazy but I am not. I have never played a call of duty game that stressed me out more than Dark Souls and this did. I literally died in this game by so much non sense that my KD is a .50. That is the worst possible KD I have ever had in my entire life playing FPS games. I never wish to play this game and I am uninstalling it from my pc.    … Expand

    1) Guns suck in this game, they are unbalanced piece of crap, either being useless or OP, it's one gun clearly beating another in every single category. And most of them are behind paywall/grindwall.
    2) TTK is also absurdly high and with bad hitreg it takes 1-2 sec to kill someone even with best aim. They should do 100 hp as usual instead of 150 (body armor and +50hp buff is a thing    1) Guns suck in this game, they are unbalanced piece of crap, either being useless or OP, it's one gun clearly beating another in every single category.

    3) Specialist feature sucks, most of ultimates are just OP **** everyone can spam even total noob can get -5 with Batterys launcher if he gets lucky enough. I see what are they trying to do but it's cheap OW ripoff atm and it doesn't really fit CoD gameplay.
    4) Graphics are WORSE than in BO3. Believe me or not, or check by yourself if you can. They lowered visuals quality for their BR mode and it looks awful.
    5) Optimization gets worse and worse, and this game is hungry for RAM and videocard as well, I even got "out of memory" game crashes with 16gb ddr4 ram lol, first time in years maybe. Combine it with #4 and you will see how dumb this game is, worse graphics, worse optimization.
    6) Maps are okay-ish and that's only because they copypasted good old maps like Slums, Firing Range, Nuketown etc. (that's why I rated this crap as 1/10)
    7) Whole marketing strategy of this game is bull****, they sell you game for $60 and treat you like a kid playing f2p clown game with endless donations and paywalls. Oh there is also SP for $50 and it gives literally nothing, only few maps and BR/Zombies features. Everything in this game is grind RNG fiesta, or costs credits.
    8) Perks are a joke, most of them are useless and some like Dead Silence or Scavenger are picked 95% of the time. Literally worst set of perks for ages. Stim shot is OP as well. Also classic equipment is beaten by FREE specialist equipment which make zero sence too. And yeah you have unlimited sprint also lol with OP gun-ho bull**** perk. Enjoy.
    9) DLC's are free but not really free. You still have to grind ALOT to get all those features, and if you miss anything you can never buy it again, or you can try to open it in lootboxes... lol. Or just donate alot. They should look at R6 Siege strategy of releasing DLC's so everyone can buy it and it's not gamebreaking or nessesary.
    And worst part for me at least about DLCs, they are 10-25gb each and they contain literally nothing really. DL speed on Battle.net is slow for some reason, 2-5mb/s vs 10-11 mb/s on Steam.
    10) Since this is PC section and Im playing PC on EU I'm gonna talk about it a little bit too. Population of the game seems to be declining by ALOT. Since they merge gamemodes & lobbies, and game queues went from nearly instant on release to few minutes even on weekends! There is also no players count in game and you can't see it on Steam stats section, since the game is on Battle.net now.
    11) At last, when I bought the game in November and tried to refund it after 50-60 min of gameplay, Blizzard supp said to me I played with game for too long and refund could not be done! After asking for clarification what exactly is "played game too long", like Steam having 120 minutes/14 days policy for refunds, support told me nothing and wished to enjoy this game. LOL
    There is clearly a reason why they moved game from Steam to Battle.net. To hide players count and to avoid refunding also, so they can sell this piece of crap.

    PS. If you wanna waste your money on this think twice, it's still CoD every year and this year's CoD is waaay below average, it doesn't have jetpacks (FINALLY) but it's even more **** up than BO3 was. If you want to play some good old CoD play BO2 or MW2, they haven't done anything better than that for years. Whole franchise is going to wrong direction and for long-time fan, it's depressing.    … Expand

    Its more than obvious that Treyarch just want to get blackout out to everyone, so they can pay 60$ for the game, afterwards then totally rape everyone with skins and microtransactions.
    They removed singleplayer, they **** over the core players and they opted to cash in on the newest hype and ruined their franchise in the process.

    Everything feels half assed and its all because they clearly have focused 99% on blackout, then copied what they could from Black Ops 3 in terms of operators and art. New maps are HORRIBLE, worst in the series for the most of them, the reused old maps are clearly better than any of the new ones - its lazy to add them instead of making more maps - but its needed since they are a totally difference quality.

The multiplayer, you know is going to be gone come next Summer, as Call of Duty games don’t have the shelf life othe other competitive multiplayers, such as Rocket League, Overwatch, Rainbow Six Siege, even Battlefield.

    The graphics are last gen, there is some controller support but it’s abysmal (compared it to other PC competitive multiplayers). There are no tutorials nor training for new players, or players like me who returned after many new mechanics have been implemented. Single player campaign used to solve the tutorial problem in the past.

    First of all, there is no single player, like most people have noted. That means your experience in this game will be limited to playing with and against others. I was OK with that, but in such situations I expect excellence in how the game does its multiplayer. Sadly, the game fails miserably.

    As a new player I was hoping to be eased into the game, play with others my or similar level, and get adequate training against bots, etc. None of this happened.
    The first few games were OK - I expected to under-perform, but as I got more and more into the game's mechanics, I realized how unpolished the entire experience is. Guns and characters are unbalanced, plain and simple. Some simply mow down enemies almost regardless of how far away they are, while some are useless and pretty terrible. It would be OK if I could get all the guns and mods immediately, but as lvl1, you have access to only a basic set of weapons. You just gotta play "like you have a pair" - as the game's commentator puts it, and get repeatedly mowed down by people 50 levels above you to start experimenting with other weapon setups. And while some of these people acquired some aim and tactical skill and will easily outplay you, some will just hold LMB and let ridiculous spray of their weapons take care of you without bothering to even follow you with their cross-hair. Also, some bullets round corners. Don't ask me how - I don't lag and the game runs smoothly on my hardware, so it defies reason.
    Also, don't get me started on stun grenades and explosives.

    The maps are OK if a bit dull. Most of them have very similar design so don't expect extreme variety.

    Character movements and animation are smooth and the game's controls are intuitive, albeit a bit more complex than what I'm used to.

    The UI is a bit of a mess.

    Music is ... there? I can't even remember, it feels so generic. Character voices are dull, sound design is weird. You can tell there is a lot of sound and they put effort into making it cool, but the end-result is a cacophony of poor post-production, as if they wanted to stuff it all in no matter what.

    And the training area for different characters, which doubles as a simple story is laughable at best, and insulting for the most part. The narrator really tries to be funny, ends up being cheesy and dry. The "story" itself is uninteresting and simplistic. They put a lot of effort into displaying vivid, mildly upsetting violence, and not enough into actually putting narrative meat on it.

    I liked how complex the zombies mode could be but by the time I got to it, I was fed up with the entire experience.

    I will not debate the game's price - it's a AAA game and you get a few modes, maps, and toys for that. It is unacceptable for me though, that for a game focusing only on multiplayer, it does it so poorly. It's simply not enjoyable.    … Expand

    The Contras: Technical Crashes, bugs, unfair matchmaking, blur graphic, brocken spawns, few weapons, (you dont need to aim if u have a MP). Just a dumb Multiplayer. 60$ too expensive for this game
    The Pros: Fast and Dumb you dont need to think. The Graphic is a little better than BO2 or BO3. If you have a good party, Zombie mod is that what you need

    i liked the old black ops games (1 & 2), but this one is just bad.....no single player campaign, and a cheap battle royale mode..... a bunch of recycled/re-skinned old MP maps..... weak game!

    Probably my most regrettable game purchase ever.....Including the games I bought and never even played.

    absolute **** for the fact that it is a MULTIPLAYER ONLY game, it seems to be the worst playing multiplayer in CoD history. Unbalanced, poor design as well as atrocious servers. 22 tick servers is laughable in 2018, hit reg is a complete abomination and it feels like SMG's completely unbalanced setup has become meta; spray and hope that your bullets catch up with the netcode.

    So. I decided to try another Call of Duty after some years of not playing. Have played since the first Call of Duty though. I couldn't really believe what I saw...

Ridiculously small mp maps as well (except the Blackout map). The singleplayer campaign are botmatches with some cutscenes in between... give me a break.
    It runs terrible as well (6700k - GTX1080). It doesn't even look good, it basically looks like a free-to-play game with bought game assets. Very bland and generic. Battlefield 5 beta ran perfect at max settings, and looked better. This is just a personal opinion and it might just be not my kind of game but... this is terrible, and I will never again purchase another Call of Duty-game.    … Expand

    boy oh boy I swore I would never buy a call of duty game ever again after BLOPS2 and i should have kept my own promise, the multiplayer is horrible and badly balanced.. people abuse broken guns TTK is terrible and you die to BS all the time its more frustrating than fun. and the price.. no single player and half-assed re-used content this should have been a 30$ game.

    now for the fortnight copycat battle royale.. its very broken..while movement and exploration and is okay, the world design is terrible and dated, gunplay is embarrassingly bad and its impossible to get a kill.. and you get no points at all for playing a match unless you manage to kill people making it impossible to progress. also, I hate fornite with all the life.. I was hoping for more realistic adult oriented gameplay..more crap aimed at kids.

    Played FPS since the 90s. The first DOOM. Never played a CoD. I only bought this game for a more straight up non fruity BR experience and zombies. Zombies is pretty good. BR not so much.

    2) Outside I hear a vehicle around me. I crouch next to a tree. Vehicle sound was consistent, never changed. Next thing I know I was run over. Don't vehicles get LOUDER when approaching you? WTF? The thing sounded like it was far off in the distance and NEVER changed.

    Good arcade game proposal, but impossible to play at the moment. Even with a GTX 1060 (driver updated) and at a minimum settings presented absurd drop of fps in areas of higher vegetation and action moments. Reimbursement requested. Maybe I'll play again in the future after optimized.

    Hmmmm what should i say.

    Some overpowered Weapon as usual. Shotguns have a range like mp's and they kill you with 1 shot. Very nice. Than, whoever made a Shield with like a minigun that can shoot through the shield and kill people and you cant kill the shield guy. like wtf???? Than u can have a magnum like weapon and u can put a sniper scope on it and has literally 0 recoil. Than the    Hmmmm what should i say.

Than the last MP when u max that mp u can put akimbo on it, and u can play it on EVERY SINGLE MAP cause they are soooo small and u kill people within 0.001 sec. U have absolutely no chance.
    Server are lagging some times. Some cheaters, and battery ult, shooting where she wants and killing the whole team,
    I want to give that game below zero points but i cant, so its gonna be a 0 cuz after all these years, they STILL cant do spawnsystem right TOO.
    I am so tired of this **** and tired getting spawn raped and i spawn right in front of my enemy or beside him and just die or i spawn right in front of his crosshair. Its absolutely no fun to play this game. Just make maps bigger and maybe we will not have this problem but idk man.
    This Game is just a 0 to me. Garbage game, Garbage company.

    The only good thing in this game is the use of some weapons. They feeld smooth but they are so much shiit things in this game, i cant even give a 1/10.

    I have 7 hours on this game and i am going to delete Black ops 4. Even with my 2.43 K/D i am raging every single match, mostly cause of the spawnsystem and those **** shotguns and that gaay asss shield.

    Zombies, multiplayer and battle royale. Black Ops 4 is whole package. With great blackout map, brutal and honest action, it will put all competition in danger. Standard multiplayer suffers from old issues, but is fun enough to guarantee tons of fun. Zombies are brilliant and refreshed with new Rush mod. Lack of single player campaign still hurts though.

    It was a risky decision to drop the single player campaign and focus on multiplayer, including battle royale, which seemed like a cynical attempt to jump on the bandwagon. I’m a bit surprised to say that Treyarch did truly great. Black Ops 4 is one of the best online games of 2018 – its shooting mechanics are wonderful, Blackout (the aforementioned take on battle royale) is top-notch and the Zombies mode drifts towards... action RPG.

    Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 has proven to all players, that it doesn´t need Hollywood faces in the story to attract players, because it’s completely fine with its online entertainment. Call of Duty is definitely going to stay with us for a couple more weeks. [Issue#290]
