    Mode zombie sympa. Multi comme d'hab. Battle Royal nul au point que j'ai pu faire 2 games avant que plus personne n'y joue. Le jeu a été fais beaucoup trop vite pour ramener de l'argent le plus vite possible comme tous jeux activision blizzard.

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?

    7/10 - Good

    It is only multi.
    The gameplay itself is fast and fun. Relatively small maps

The offline multiplayer is something I played a lot of. One could mitigate the poor gunplay and the existence of specialists in that mode. One could play with easy bots, a longer time to kill, and have no specialist abilities. The mode lacked the ability to turn off scorestreaks. Regardless, the bots have very poor design. They are very inconsistent to play against even on easy. The bots have a sort of aimbot within an arc of their vision. The arc moves slowly but one dies almost instantly if they get caught in the arc. It is unfun to play against. It had potential, but such hopes are dashed aside. The zombies mode is an 8/10. It is simple enough without much reason to be competitive. One can play zombie on easy. Regardless, one cannot overlook how abysmal the multiplayer gameplay is. Expand

    Es demasiado caro para lo que ofrece. Entre los zombis y el modo multijugador combinados, se siente mucho menos que los títulos anteriores de Treyarch. No hay campaña, y Blackout se volverá aburrido rápidamente a menos que le agreguen nuevos modos. Sin una campaña y una búsqueda de logros, te quita decenas de horas de juego de calidad donde puedes sentarte, relajarte y disfrutar.

    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.

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

    Easily the only time I've ever fully regretted a purchase of a game. No campaign, multiplayer and BR that players dropped off of very quickly due to the lack luster gameplay and gross microtransactions in a game that already has a $50 season pass on top of the $60 base cost at launch, and a mediocre at best zombies mode which is primarily why I purchase treyarch games.

    Well, I can say two words about this game [in my sh*tty opinion]... No words. But Zombie Mode was really great but stopped playing it, because of season pass bullsh*t and also of microtransactions. 2/10.

    So much fun with bots in both multiplayer & zombie mode. The AI is intelligent and provides countless hours of fun. Here's hoping all future CoDs retain their bots. Battlefield can go to hell.

    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.

    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]
