    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.

    The bugs make the game actually unplayable. Connection drops out constantly, absolute **** fps. I'm ashamed to even call this a game at this point. It's like Black Ops II got a pc port done in 15 minutes by a high school CS student.

    DO NOT BUY.

    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

    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

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

    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.

    Blackout: Fast pace, tight controls, smooth game play. Best enjoyed with a squad of 4 of your friends. its more like PUBG but sprinkled with some unique perks and equipment.

    Multiplayer PVP: Expect the same gun play CoD is known for. Much like a hero based shooters, players now select characters with unique abilities and load outs. This is a welcome change that i find to be quite enjoyable. Gone is passive healing, and in are Health bars making for a change on how you play forcing you to remember to heal yourself if you take far too much damage.

    Zombies: Maybe its because i havent played zombie mode in a long while, but i think Its great in Black ops 4, I love the XI locations and gladiator arena. And the super moves are awesome. It feels like its own game.

    Final Thoughts: If you were to ask me if it was worth full retail price, Id say 'yes'. I feel that this game has a lot to offer, every mode feels like its own game in terms of detail, content, and how polished everything feels. Its a solid game. If you were to strip the name Call of Duty and it were given a different name i think there wouldn't be so much salt being thrown at this game.

    For once a Call of Duty game that plays runs REALLY well on PC. People here are being negative because the game is "incomplete" but it's the most complete Call of Duty in years!
    I've played a total of 40 hours so far and I'm loving it. The game runs smoothly and looks good, the action is back to what Call of Duty is all about and not everyone is flying all over your screen.

    The specialists add some nice depth to the game and make it more interesting than any previous CoD I've played (all since CoD 4).

    If you've ever enjoyed the CoD multiplayer experience, this game will fit you will. It ticks many boxes and there's a lot to enjoy for various players.

    Wonderful Build but needs some work when playing blackout the leveling system is crap not going to lie, I'm unable to level up because I'm not making a kill but I can do damage to players and I think that should count cause at this rate I will never level up and when your playing with pros it makes it even harder to level up.

    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.

    Instead they decided to do something different, even if it was just copying a popular BR genre.
    This is a good sign they know the series is getting stale, and blackout mode is a massive success.
    Streamers like Shroud and DrDisRespect are all-nighting and enjoying the game for its polish and effort.

    I put in at least a dozen hours on launch weekend in blackout and have to say Treyarch really did put in a lot of effort to BO4's success on the PC. There have been launch day updates everyday, addressing Reddit users' concerns and reported issues, providing fixes like I've never seen a development group do before. Try finding another BR title that provides this much polish and server stability.

    I am very impressed with what Treyarch pulled off, most games (even AAA, i.e. EA) are a buggy mess these days when they launch, but not this one. Game does lack cosmetic content, character skins, and events, etc. But as it stands right now I am very happy with where Treyarch is going with this title.    … Expand

    Battle Royale: 8/10
    Zombie PvE: 7/10
    Regular PvP: 5/10

    Overall score based on highest rated game mode.
    I'd say the game is worth it for the BR alone, and the zombie mode is nice for some variation. Other games do the regular team-based PvP better (though this is subjective of course). It's a little pricey, but worth it if you have some friends to co-op with.

    Never played such a redicilous game like BO4. Should this be a comic game?

    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

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.

    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.

    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.
