    Never played a more terribly implemented game. The hitboxes are way off the mark, showing "hits" even when opposing players don't take any damage whatsoever in multiplayer.

The battle royale mode is "OK" but there are much better BR games. The default settings are confusing at best. The matchmaking is straight garbage with wider skillgaps than the Atlantic Ocean. This is just another attempt to milk more money out of franchise players, not a good game in its own right.… Expand

    Joke of a game. How can you take this game seriously when hit detection is this bad? If you have good aim look elsewhere cause headshots don't register here. Headshots are only registered through body shots. Far too many times I die because my hits don't register when I obviously am hitting my target.

I'll wait for bf5 and I'm never buying an Activision game again.

    I find this game to be unplayable just like BO3.

    It takes forever to shoot someone while I die instantly (or I get easy kills without even aiming properly), everybody keeps jumping super high (I get it, I have to do that too, but it feels stupid to jump the moment you see enemy) and somehow it's impossible to shoot them while they do it (I swear I aimed correctly but no shots    I find this game to be unplayable just like BO3.

    Nearly ever game is one-sided where one team has lag compensation advantage and dominates, it's harder to make any come back, because once one team starts to dominate they just spam all their specialist abilities and scorestreaks, there's so much stuff trying to kill you, you don't even have time for objectives - specialist abilities make it too snowbally for a winning team.

    Specialists are annoying to deal with, because you can't counter their abilities, Ajax running with shield at you - you die, Ruin uses spikes - you die, electric shock projectile hits you - you crawl and die, 9 bang hits you - you die, electric shock car catches you - you die.

    This games pace is also super fast, there are old maps reworked, but I don't remember action in BO1 or 2 was so hectic.

    Spawns are messed up, you get spawn trapped or you spawn right in front of enemy.

    Black Out sucks, you have to camp hard and scan the horizon for enemies constantly, it takes too much time and is boring because you can always die to someone coming from some weird direction, I don't know why people find it fun.

    Zombies I never play and I will probably not touch it since they made it really complicated with crafting and different modes (and killing waves of zombies is boring).

    To me this game is in the same category as BO3 and Infinite Warfare - CODs that I have barely played.

    PS. I didn't mention the story mode, because when I saw that ultra rich oligarch is some attractive woman and best of the best special forces soldiers are females (with pink hair!) it just felt too stupid to continue. It's all SJW trash for idiots.    … Expand

    Absolutely horrible
    Now keep in mind I really am not a big Call of Duty Fan and come from the Counter Strike community.

    Now keep in mind I really am not a big Call of Duty Fan and come from the Counter Strike community.
    Having played BO 2 and 3 previous and being satisfied with both games I have to say that I have had a horrible experience with this one.
    After playing for now 25 Hours (I did not wanna put myself through more of that) I have concluded that BO 4 is a poorly optimized, badly balanced and laggy mess.
    Right from the start after downloading the arguably pretty large 80 Gigabyties I found myself in a pretty confusing yet empty UI.
    After adjusting my settings for a while I decided to try out Blackout.
    Shortly after the waiting time a completely unrendered Map (Loadingtime map rendering is enabled) and it was lagging horribly. After jumping out of the Helicopter with the same lag and unrendered Map I landed and finally after a good 20 seconds the map rendered, poorly and very slowly.
    After I then died due to me being unable to move and my character bound to unexplainably just walking to the left for a good minute I was already pissed.
    In those 25 hours overall I have (atleast tried) to play 3 matches of blackout all went the same way as the first one.
    Okay now Zombies, it doesnt run as bad as blackout though it does majorly framedrop from time to time but sadly I have been unable to finish a single game of Zombies yet due to it crashing everytime in the middle of a game regardless of the map im playing.
    Although I though Zombies was generally the most enjoyable experience over all it was more annoying than fun.
    Multiplayer... What the ****
    The netcode is a joke, an absolute joke.
    It lacks new Features, Specialists and Maps the Hitboxes are ridiculous, the spawns poorly placed just the whole package is a bunch of garbage.

    The lack of single player campaign is very disappointing. I gave it a shot nonetheless. Zombies, meh. Pvp, meh. Battle royal, didn't even give it a chance. If you've played one of the 2 already existing battle royal games, you've played them all.

    Returned this game for a full refund.

    Man where to start I guess the main issue is the missing content that I feel that should be in the flipping game again back in the day they had a mode called Ground War and I feel as though they **** up not having it in the game and I know the game can handle it being Blackout has 88 players in it.

I wanna give this at least a 6 but can't due to the fact the game still influences CORNER CAMPING in all modes besides Zombies of course but it gets annoying...

    The Twitch streamer Avoidthingpuddle says it the best on the whole camping subject so find that clip on YT.

    You kill 2-3 players then heal up and run into a building for cover and low and behold some dip stick in the corner with a shotty that blows you away cause you have no more armor and they have been sitting there for 5+ mins to kill someone walking into the door or window. I've played many Battle Royal games and CoD seems to have it the worse for the camping DISGUSTING. Little chubby cheek kids camping cause they can't handle conflict.

    Another thing I hated about Blackout is the normal spawn of a rocket launchers gotta love dropping out of the chopper to just get rocketed from a building across the way while your fighting another player or two for the goodies. Like make rockets in supply drops only as it causes major imbalance at the start of the game. Thats why certain games have a lock out to certain weapons appearing only in Supply Drops.

    Next I wanna talk about the multiplayer as a whole the combat is really **** I feel there matchmaking algorithm is to place players that are starting out with people that are pros or have 40+ hours in the game already that just man handle you every turn of the way. They have a **** Copy paste system from black ops 3 the whole operator idea is TRASH. Rainbow Six Siege just does that whole idea better.

    The only real mode I found fun on this game was Heist. They really killed this game and its potential to being a game that kills PubG.

    The only thing this game has on top of pubg is the performance and hardly any lag.

    This is not a 10 out of 10 game so please if you are reading the 10 out of 10 reviews ignore them. This game is easily a 4-6 outta 10 if that.    … Expand

That being said, in multiplayer, I have never seen a game so reward cancerous gameplay. Shotguns that 1 shot at long range, snipers that are literally programmed to one-shot from the waist up. Headshots don't matter in this game in the slightest. On top of that, it actually punishes players for aiming down their scopes. More people run around hip firing and getting headshots then people who aim down their scopes get head shots. The hit detection is horrendous. Multiplayer is absolutely frustrating with the crazy overpowered weapons the later levels get, like the akimbo smg that requires no aiming, and melt's enemy's health in fractions of seconds. Multiplayer has turned to Halo style jump and run with the progression mechanics of an MMO. Where you'll be terrible for the first 45 levels, until you get a gun that can compete. EDIT: Upon further playing of Multiplayer, the sheer amount of server lag has made it unplayable. You'll dropp fromm 100 frames to 0 for 5 seconds and back again.

Or you shoot at someone and nothing happens, to just get killed by one bullet, to then see the Killcam and realize that from his POV you didnt even shoot once and he shot like 20 bullets and killed you.

In every youtube video you hear ppl talking about how many bullets it takes to kill someone. But when I play, it does not matter which weapon it is, it ALWAYS seems and feels like I am dead with just 1 bullet shot at me... before I can even react to anything and shoot myself. Or I shoot nothing happens and then i get 1 bullet killed instantly. This netcode is the WORST i have seen in 20 years, seriously. Even with 62Hz, the netcode sucks monkeyballs! And then there are all those BUGS and crashes and errors all the time even after weeks. And multiplayer is just getting into lobbys that are 5v2 or 2v5 and already won or lost. So you either stay and you are bored to dead or you leave and queue again... at the end you are bored as **** because you queue queue and queue all the time before you even get any fair good round going. At the end you just join lobbys to level your stupid weapon to get a meaningless skinn for it. If you/your team wins doesnt even matter for nobody at the end, none cares too.
    I dont comment on Blackout, because I hate battle royal modes. It the most stupid thing the FPS genre came up with the last 20 years. But damn the netcode is so **** bad, it is unreal.    … Expand

    Blackout mode is just a cheap version of Battlefield. The developers promised the "best and most refined mechanics" in the trailer, yet the mechanics are terrible. You can't even destroy any buildings. This game mode lacks vehicle variety. There are no jet fighters, or any planes to be found. Zombie mode lacks innovation. The regular Multiplayer is boring and repetitive. The maps are about the same as the last game, with a fresh coat of paint.

    The worst part of this game is that it requires a 50 GB patch to play. That makes the physical copy pointless. You can play multiplayer and Zombies with bots and splitscreen offline. But what's the point of having any of that if you need Internet to play? Not everyone has good internet, and it's pathetic how anti-consumer the developers are. The CODs before WWII didn't required internet. I don't recommend this game at all. Internet required games are a disgrace    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Нормальная игра, от которой можно получать удовольствие, но увы не столько, сколько того хотелось бы. Ужасная сетевая оптимизация, частые вылеты при загрузке следующего матча, ошибка отключенного сервера. Так же из минусов не интересная визуальная кастомизация специалистов и оружия, система ивентов ужасна и примитивна. Зато хорошая оптимизация на ПК (не сетевая), достойное управление, я бы даже сказал очень приятная, плотная стрельба и звук, как Шутер игра очень хороша. Но хороший игровой процесс - этого очень мало. Black Ops 4 пока что, 1 месяц спустя чувствуется не полноценным, надеюсь в будущем изменить свою оценку, у игры есть потенциал, но пока что это очень и очень крепкий середняк...

    Multiplayer keeps the classic mediocre gameplay we've come to expect from the CoD franchise, this time being incredibly unbalanced with a fairly limited selection of guns. The specialist system means classic equipment like grenades or the specialist equipment both have incredibly long cool-downs and you must choose between one or the other in class creation. Instead of specialist abilitiesMultiplayer keeps the classic mediocre gameplay we've come to expect from the CoD franchise, this time being incredibly unbalanced with a fairly limited selection of guns. The specialist system means classic equipment like grenades or the specialist equipment both have incredibly long cool-downs and you must choose between one or the other in class creation. Instead of specialist abilities being a balanced, frequent use ability that defines your character's play-style, they're instead a one or two-per-game chance at high power that can immediately be taken away if you die mid-ability. While specialists could've innovated and improved Call of Duty's dated gameplay, it doesn't -- if anything it makes it worse.

    Blackout, perhaps one of the biggest selling points for this year's CoD, combines the worst parts of Call of Duty with the worst parts of Battle Royale. There can be very fun moments in Blackout, however they are surrounded by waiting in lobbies and walking/travel simulators. In gameplay, there is a huge dependence on finding the right gear, and many fights turn into "shooting each other until the person with higher damage/defense wins". The fast-paced gameplay and movement doesn't mesh very well with the slower Battle Royale style, and it is too RNG heavy to be consistently enjoyable.

    And then there's Zombies. I like Zombies - some people may not enjoy the changes to perks/gobblegum/health/etc, but I've had a good time with it. But while three maps is more than what we've gotten in previous games, it is still too little to be worth buying this game at $60 if you're solely interested in Zombies, especially considering the fourth map is locked behind a $50 season pass.

    And there's no campaign. Admittedly I'm not too upset by this, as CoD campaigns have been nothing better than "okay" for several years, but I know there are plenty of people who are.

    So what is this game? A boring, full-priced $60 game, with a $50 all-or-nothing season pass that means if you're only interested in a part of the DLC, you have to pay the full price for everything. Oh, and there's microtransactions -- It uses Fortnite's model while still expecting you to pay $110 if you want the rest of the content. All while being on the sluggish Battle.Net launcher that seems to require an update every time you start it.

    But hey, at least 1/3rd of the game is fun.    … Expand

    Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 is another linear, simple and basic Call of Duty game from their ever dying franchise, slightly better than Black Ops 3, but overall, this game is... fine. This game definitely has systems and mechanics that I will praise it for, but it is usually ruined by stupid design decisions, poor weapon balancing, changes that weren't needed, and overall inconsistentCall of Duty: Black Ops 4 is another linear, simple and basic Call of Duty game from their ever dying franchise, slightly better than Black Ops 3, but overall, this game is... fine. This game definitely has systems and mechanics that I will praise it for, but it is usually ruined by stupid design decisions, poor weapon balancing, changes that weren't needed, and overall inconsistent gameplay experience.

    WEAPON BALANCING & TIME TO KILL:
    Black Ops 4's unique health system, where you must manually regenerate health and the amount of health is increased to 150, instead of 100, means that Black Ops 4 is more of a tactical shooter instead of a gun's blazing Call of Duty, like the ones that have worked every other game and sold very well, but ok. And I don't have a problem with increasing the TTK and including manual health regen, except when the whole system is broken. The TTK in every match is so inconsistent, sometimes I'll kill someone in 5-10 bullets, sometimes 10-15, sometimes a whole mag won't kill them. I don't understand why this always seems to be an issue in Treyarch games, but my god it's horrible. And here's the next issue, the weapon balancing is horrible. See, here's the thing Treyarch, if you're going to increase the time to kill for AR's and SMG's, then don't leave snipers with the ability to 1 shot kill me in the body and tactical rifles to two burst/shot me as well. It seems that every time I'm in a gunfight with a sniper or DMR user, they'll be able to miss 90% of their shots, but because the weapons are so unbalanced, I will melt 10 bullets into them and I'll die first from the one lucky shot they get. The weapon balancing in this game is infuriating, and it just adds to the horrible TTK.

    CONNECTION & NET CODE:
    As we know, Treyarch games aren't known for having good servers, hit registration, consistent ping, or not suffering lag spikes, leave that to Titanfall. But for god's sake, how have you not worked out a somewhat consistent connection on your fourth instalment of the Black Ops series Vonderhaar? Every game is plagued with lag spikes, rubberbanding and horrible hit registration (aim first, shoot first, die first). This just adds to the horribleness of the increased TTK, I am emptying 15 to 20 bullets into someone, half don't hit and the player just runs back around the corner.

    PC OPTIMISATION:
    PC optimisation is rather good this time around. I'm running an i5 6600, GTX 1060, and 16GB of 2133MHz RAM, and the game can run at a consistent 100fps on high-ish settings. It runs very smooth with little major fps drops or stuttering. The PC video options are extensive and it looks like Treyarch have done a great job on the PC port.

    SPECIALISTS:
    I think the specialists this time around are much better than Black Ops 3, their abilities are earned much slower and the focus has seem to have shifted to gunplay, which is great. I like how each specialist has their own unique tactical or lethal ability, which can be replaced with the basic grenades and stuns if you'd like. Except for Prophet, Prophet can f*ck right off. He is so annoying I just want him to be deleted, he's like the Mei of Black Ops 4. What was wrong with him in Black Ops 3? His robot thing that goes around tasering people is SO ANNOYING, I don't know who at Treyarch thought this would've been a good idea, but my god they were wrong. He needs a change now.

    OVERALL THOUGHTS:
    I really don't think Black Ops 4 is a game worth picking up unless you find a great deal or are obsessed with battle royale. There's nothing special about this game, it's just another boring Call of Duty game made by another developer. The gameplay is the same, the weapons are the same, everything is the same or just pointless. I would avoid.    … Expand

Покупка этой части была спровоцирована моими друзьями и обильной рекламой "лучшего" батл рояля на которую я успешно повёлся. Сам режим королевской битвы был сделан на отьебись. Вся карта - это слепок из карт из прошлых игр серии. Новая система бронежилетов должна была уровнять баланс сил между слабыми и сильными игроками, а получилось как всегда и убийство человека в 3-ей броне делается невозможным для обладателя брони уровнем ниже (если он не Джейсон Борн конечно-же). Баланс в обычном мультиплеере был похерен на корню, за счёт введения увеличенного КД (более вероятно исключительно для королевской битвы), а вместе с ним и пушек, которым вообще поебать на новый КД, посему приходится играть или на "слабом" оружии, или с нуб-ганами. Карты очень маленькие и для игры 2018 года- позорно. И да, фанаты этой "лучшей" серии игр не куда не делись, они всё ещё не наши себе занятий достойней тотального уничтожения анусов ньюфагов. Есть ещё режим "Зомби", суть которого- выжить как можно больше волн (но если у тебя не ебись как много времени на изучение ненужной информации- то ты можешь пройти карту, но это вряд ли), он мне не нравился и не нравиться сейчас. В итоге имеем- дисбалансный мультиплеер с картами по площади меньше двухспальной кровати, переполненный дрочерами серии, батл рояль на 5-10 часов максимум и своеобразный зомби мод (предназначенный для фанатов, как я считаю). Я делал предзаказ и не простой, а за 3500 и очень об этом пожалел. Думаю больше я не куплю не одну игру этого "прекрасного " "разработчика".

    another problem is the high amount of bugs, glitches and crashes. even now, 4 weeks after release its a technical mess. every second or third lobby kicks you out of the loading screen while loading in to a map. in 6 hours you can also expect a total game crash fatal eror 451518515 or something like that. weapon camos are not attached to your weapons etc. hit detection sometimes feels off, way more than in every previous cods that i played. optimization is ok i guess, cant rly say much because i play with a 1080 on most of the time with 140+fps, but i feel 3-4 maps are worse optimized than the rest.

    one of the sadest things however is, they (treyarch) said they do pc balancing seperate from console balancing. but so far we have got all the console balancing on pc too with some small pc exclusive changes. this makes 0 sense and this makes me rly angry. and by all the problems the gamecurrently has in multiplayer, you would expect communication and discussions from the devs right? but no, there basically is no communication from them, or a dev or whatever who talks or discusses things on reddit with the community.they made 500 million dolla in the first 3 days after release, now they are in vacation or something. they promissed to make a good pc port and work more than ever on the pc version, all lies.

    oh ya i almost forgot, the microtransactions. this game costs 60 euro, has a 50 euro season pass and additional microtransactions. WTF if you ask me. when the new mutiplayer maps are beeing released and you want to play them, you ahve to pay 50 euro for the pass, because you cant just buy a map pack, you have to buy the whole pass. the afforementioned microtransaction however, are basically not wiorth to buy. cosmetics and other rewards in this game are so low quality and not worth any cent.

    and all of this is why this is the first cod that releases not on steam, its the same like fallout 76. these games are **** and they are scared for negative reviews because they know it.    … Expand

Said perk still would be useless without the minimap actually telling you where the enemies are coming from, because the audio remains complete garbage. There are "operator" gadgets and abilities that should never have been put into the game, actually the whole operator **** thing should have stayed off of this game in the first place. The netcode is garbage and I will sometimes see people teleporting slightly ahead instead of seeing fluid motion. It's next to unplayable if you want to take this game seriously. It could be a fun game, but they managed to not fix the frustrating **** that plagued every COD game since Modern Warfare 1. And they're left with a piece of **** game that will tire out most people in just a few months, or in my case, weeks.

    I only have 80 minutes in the game thus far, but already I witnessed multiple instances of other player characters teleporting when you try to hit them. Even without the net code issue, I'd say this game is terribly boring. Also, the waves and waves of 14 yos and their language..

    The publisher:
    I tried to get a refund for performance issues. Got response from . As a mature gamer I like to talk to a person, not to "Illidan Stormrage", thank you.
    It turns out their refund policy is utter garbage. The GM told me that for the refund I need to have less than 30 minutes of play time. Half of that time I spent with my friends in the game launcher trying to overcome the issue of the game saying some of us were "not joinable" and after the first match there was already more than 30 minutes in the counter. There is no way you can actually try different graphic settings within 30 minutes. There is no way you can actually test what's the quality level of an online shooting game within 30 minutes. The return policy is for you only if the game is so **** up you can't even enter the main menu.

    Don't buy from the Activion-Blizzard store unless you're absolutely sure of the purchase! Your money is lost after you click 'purchase'. Steam and GOG actually give you time to try the product.

    A pretty nearly average first person shooter, the base gameplay is what you come to expect from Call of Duty, and is thus, fine, the problems come from the numerous systems that hold it back. After I decided to stop pretending Overwatch was fun, I needed a new FPS in my life, so I figured I would give BO4 a shot. My views are somewhat tinted by my memories of MW2, the last CoD game IA pretty nearly average first person shooter, the base gameplay is what you come to expect from Call of Duty, and is thus, fine, the problems come from the numerous systems that hold it back. After I decided to stop pretending Overwatch was fun, I needed a new FPS in my life, so I figured I would give BO4 a shot. My views are somewhat tinted by my memories of MW2, the last CoD game I played, but my impressions overall have been unfavorable in comparison.

    My first problem is the lack of weapon variety, there is a grand total of 2 shotguns, compared the the numerous knock-off brand assault rifles. Likewise, there are 3 pistols, and only a single launcher. There are nearly as many assault rifles as there are secondary weapons total.

    The second problem I had was the wide disparity between effectiveness of different types of weapons. Shotguns feel absolutely pitiful, with the more powerful of the two barely being a reliable two shot kill. This is also a pump action shotgun, mind you. There is a pretty good chance that any time I try to kill somebody with a shotgun, if I ambush them and get a shot off, they will have time to locate me, turn to shoot at me, and kill me before I finish pumping the shotgun. Pistols are even worse, with the basic "strife" pistol being useless as anything more than something to attach a knife to, and even then, you are frankly just better off with just the knife, as it will cost you fewer points in the game's budget system and be just as effective.

    The third problem is the absolutely atrocious create-a-class system. It has a kind of "budget" system, which is all fine and dandy, but the problem is that the normalized prices of everything costing a point is utter nonsense. I feel like my elite black ops soldier is less well armed than the random mooks you played as in MW2 multiplayer. Why does my pistol cost the same number of points as an assault rifle? Why does a -knife- cost the same amount of points as an assault rifle? There simply needs to be a more reasonable approach to how items are costed in points. Due to the nature of the game, you are highly incentivized to put all of your points into making one really good weapon, therefor you are encouraged to use mostly just jack-of-all-ranges weapons like assault rifles and smgs. God help you if you want to use a secondary weapon and have it actually be useful. To make a shotgun or a pistol useful you have to invest so many points into it that you don't even get the full allotment of perks! Or otherwise if you want to use a weapon like a sniper rifle, which really needs a usable secondary weapon to go with it, your best bet is honestly just to go pick up a dead person's dropped weapon.

    The next problem is the egregious monetization problems, but that is pretty much just par for course for activision, and we all know how **** it is so I won't waste your time with that. In its defense, however; I was able to purchase the game cheaper by forgoing the zombie mode that I don't care about. It is a shame I couldn't buy it even cheaper and lose the battle royale mode I likewise care nothing for.

    My last problem is the operators. One of the reasons I wanted to get away from games like Overwatch is so that I didn't have to deal with inane character abilities that don't make sense, and make the game worse. Why does the character with the one shot pistol not simply use it all the time? Why do they have to wait an arbitrary amount of time before using it? Before someone points out "it is for game balance," yeah, no **** I get that, it was a joke. Even besides that fact that it makes no sense in universe, it creates that same kind of problem that Overwatch has where you have gameplay designed around these "ults" if you will, that are meant to net you a ton of cheap, free kills. It doesn't feel good to be on the receiving end where sometimes you will just die because one of the opponents just happens to be playing the right character to screw you over particularly.

    Slightly less of a problem is the maps, I basically only ever want to play on about two or three of the maps, and if I queue up and get put in line for one of the other maps, I usually just leave unless I get forced into a game in progress. At least there is no punishment for leaving (at least that I know about.)

    The lack of a story mode is somewhat disappointing, even if they weren't what you got the game for, it was a nice little bonus.

    All in all, it is a bit of a disappointment, I pretty much was just expecting absolutely baseline, no frills attached Call of Duty, and I somehow got less than that. the gameplay is still there, but the weapons are samey and boring in one department, and lack all kinds of variety in others. It is hard to play weird off-the-wall strategies that appeal to me, and you can really only play the standard assault rifle style builds    … Expand

    Micro-transactions are w/e, they're all cosmetic and there's no paywall for content. That's good.

    The detail and graphical potential this title has lives up to the CoD name. That's good.

    Zombies mode is kinda fun if wave-based defense is your thing. That's good.

    Battle Royale mode is fun and sees decent updates. That's good.

    Multiplayer has NO skill based matchmaking and is a smoking hot mess. What the actual ****
    How does Activision expect to entice new players into their IP when the MAJOR SELLING POINT, the multiplayer, is so unbalanced for new players the experience isn't even fun? In my first 5-10 matches online, I was the ONLY player not prestiged and under level 30 (to be precise, I was LEVEL ONE.) That means I have no create-a-class, no experience with any weapons, no experience with any of the maps, and no experience with game mechanics other than how to point and shoot my **** gun (WITH NO USEFUL ATTACHMENTS).

    As a side note, Activision needs to start taking into account the wide base of players they have. In their demographic exists a wide variety of player types, and many of them play every CoD game they release. When you pair these incredibly skilled players with the less experienced players that don't play as often, you just end up alienating a large portion of potential customers. I don't buy CoD games frequently because every time I do, my playing experience seems to be secondary to the Activision "Whales" and it's clear that Activision puts no protections in place to ensure that new players will have fun.

    If you're playinh a competitive game, you want to play with competitors at your skill level. High Schoolers don't play NFL teams. My first Black Ops 4 match shouldn't be against CoD Veterans

    Spawns are still broken, a remnant of distress from my MW2 days, where you undoubtedly will be killed not because of your skill level, but because the game spawned you with an enemy within 10ft.

    I'm not sure if this is a valid complaint, but from my memory I seem to recall there being a larger assortment of weapons to choose from in previous entries, from what I can tell each type of weapon has about four unlocks and only around 4-5 types of gun per primary and secondary.    … Expand

    UPDATE: technical issues have taken a turn for the worse. now there are many times when the textures don't ever fully load. forcing you to play with washed up 144p looking images, there are also instances where textures don't load at all and you can see through walls, floors and such. whenever the texture issue occurs it's also followed by odd unexplainable choppy fps (all of this in a top tier PC). it's also worth noting that if your internet connection flinches even for a split second you will get eternally paralyzed in a glitched out state where you can't control your character but people can still shoot you. the devs are basically just pissing in our faces at this point. don't ever purchase anything from Treyarch again.    … Expand

If they were to make a campaign sure I would love it but no they just made another stupid Battle royal game that's not even that good.… Expand

    Most rushed cod to date. Game looks like **** with its checkerboard graphics. Absolutely nothing is balanced. AR is only viable if it has rapid fire. Everyone only uses SMGs with the highest fire rates in the game that out gun ARs even at long range. Game full of microtransactions and everyone who bought the pass got scammed.

Game full of microtransactions and everyone who bought the pass got scammed. Development seemed to have already stopped even though they promised years of support. The whole game is a broken buggy mess. Game is still in early access. They didn't even bother making new weapons and just stole them from old titles, made them op, then put them behind a paywall. Worst call of duty ever right next to infinite warfare and ww2.… Expand

    Un giorno Activision spero impari che IW e' l'unica in grado di far evolvere questa serie. Con Treyarc si stagna sempre nella stessa pozzetta di fango.

    I was very disappointed in this game and it flopped badly. I bought this game on release day and I was exicted to play this game because I loved Black Ops 2 as a kid but this game wasn't fun at all.

    Easily the worst Call of Duty (excluding Vanguard, let's be fair) of all time, feeling more like a half-baked excuse of a hero shooter than an arcade shooter.

Incredibly overpowered specialists devolve matches into pissing contests of who can spam their ult faster. "Highest skill CoD of all time." What a joke. If your game's competitve mode has to strip MORE THAN HALF of the base game's abilities to make a somewhat balanced game, guess what? Your base game is a JOKE. Not even mentioning the abhorrent dlc strategies. Locking the best 2-3 guns in EVERY CATAGORY behind a paywall is par for the course for Treyarc, ruining Black Ops 3's otherwise excellent multiplayer with the same flaw. This game can rot with its last 20 or so players at this point. Good riddance.… Expand

    This game is only slightly better than vanguard, even if this one is just BO3 with less features and no campaign. Now, 60 dollars for no campaign? First black ops game on PC that didn't release on Steam? Reused maps? Graphics that look worse than BO3? Broken Zombies?

    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]
