    I bought this game by using World of Warcraft gold... What could go wrong? Well, I feel ripped off even by not spending actual cash. Half of the maps are recycled from previous Black Ops games.

    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.

    the only good thing about this game is zombies... I wholeheartedly regret my purchase.

    - Horrible Graphics.
    - Body Armor.

    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.

    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 registered), everybody is teleporting, I swing my mouse randomly hoping my shots will register, because I don't even know where enemies are, they don't move smoothly, they just teleport!

    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.

    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.

    Graphics are absolutely horrendous. This game looks like it was made in 2006 for Xbox

    Graphics are absolutely horrendous. This game looks like it was made in 2006 for Xbox 360. It looks like 720p when running at 1440p. Textures are muddy, everything looks blurry, color pallette is 90% brown in blackout. Good luck spotting the guy across the map that is a puddle of blotchy colors and potato resolution that you can't make out from the rest of the blotchy low res environment. I'll wait for bf5 and I'm never buying an Activision game again. They're always hyping their games with fancy trailers and fake paid reviews and then deliver a unfinished game and don't bother to fix it cause they already got your money.

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. One friend of mine, who has a far better rig than mine, can't even play without being lagged out. The amount of bugs has destroyed this game. Expand

    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.

    The game constantly crashes (and when it crashes you lose all progress of the round ofc - regardless if it's black out or MP), party invites work only 60-70% of the time, Updates are being pushed like crazy making us constantly quit the game to update client, and servers run on 20Hz meaning what you see is not in line with the damage you make or take - making it possible to "shot enemies around the corners" as some would say.

    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.

    Where do I start. The game is buggy as hell. often it does crash while starting. Even if it is not, I cannot max out graphics settings on my 1080TI, because then it crashes.

    The gameplay is not better. 20Hz tickrate makes it unplayable. But that has been fixed now. 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.

    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.

    In my opinion this COD is even worse than the ones I played in the past, the reasons I stopped buying them. The only good thing they've done is remove nade spamming, everything other issue is still there or worse. I bought this to have something until Battlefield 5 comes out, a REAL FPS game. Never should of bought this trash, I went 8 years without buying one, now I'll got 60 more.

    This game is a harsh reminder of why COD will never be popular on PC again and how little Activision cares about the PC platform.

    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.

    A real shame.

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.

    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]
