    very fun multiplayer that can make hours go by fast. Also blackout was one of the only battle royales I enjoyed, even better with Avenged Sevenfold on the track. Lack of story mode for a 60 dollar game is bad though, even a simple story would be already enough.

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    I got bored of this real quick, the characters are more unique which was cool but this game is just off in a lot of places, notably how it takes four headshots to kill a person, the characters in this game are the definition of damage sponges, oh yeah and the BR mode was just straight up bad ngl. overall mid as ****

    Multiplayer is what I hoped most for and I got the short end of the stick. It just takes way to long to level up weapons and, player level. Zombies and blackout are worth it but multiplayer weights it down.

    Tried out Black Ops 4 after skipping Black Ops 3 in the series. Don’t like that multiplayer has armor now Graphics still don’t look good. There is no campaign. Hardly played this game.    … Expand

    The MP was pretty solid and blackout was a bit underrated, I preferred it over Warzone. Zombies were very bland and no story is an insult.

    Sin duda la campaña se extraña en esta entrega, ya q las nuevas misiones de especialista son muy malas.
    El Multijugador podría ser de los mejores, si no es q el mejor de los últimos juegos, lo mismo los zombies, q si bien no son geniales, son entretenidos por unas horas.
    Si encuentras el juego de oferta, vale completamente la pena, si no mejor busca otro juego.

    This is the worst Call of Duty I’ve played, but it still isn’t bad. The game play is too fast, their is no story, but the zombies are fun. The multiplayer got better when updates released, and the zombies stayed good. Without a story it wasn’t as good though. The game is fun and good, but not great.

    Sério, se formos tratar ''Call of Duty'' dessa forma tão banal, é melhor abandonar. Como que conseguem lançar um jogo de uma franquia que sempre teve boas campanhas, sem uma mera campanha?!
    Multijogador muito chato e irritante, não rola nada de interessante, só o modo ''Zombies'' que salvou um pouco a minha jogatina. Por favor Activision, nunca mais lance um Call of Duty dessa forma!

    Would be higher if the micro transaction system wasn’t so anti consumer From the beginning. This game in its entirety would be a 9 if it included a true campaign and had a better micro transaction system from the start.

    It's mostly black ops gameplay, had no problems whatsoever with crashing. In the end its an ok shooter thats still fun with the different modes, zombies being pretty fun. Definitely not the best COD but still pretty decent overall.

But that main complaint is a huge one. I do enjoy playing in hardcore... its fun in its on way but I just wish I was better in regular modes.

Specialists can be annoying at times but it will cost you a bit if you are one to getting long streaks. Let’s talk micro transactions. These are a pain in the neck most of the time. But, Treyarch nerfed it a bit so it is not as annoying. Especially with the new black market update coming soon to make it easier to get other guns. League Play basically removes all your MP problems. Less specialists, team based modes, NO dlc weapons. Just skill and teamwork. Would rate mode 10/10. The only problem (more on Ps4 and PC then Xbox) is finding a lobby. I can never find a lobby in PS4 but I can on Xbox. Before MW, it takes a while to find a match (1 minute or less) because you need to find a lobby with people about your skill. Skill based matchmaking. The saving grace of BO4, Black freaking Out. Blackout is the reason why the day 1-(a lot) had many problems. The developers rushed to make this mode perfect. To be fair, it was perfect. Better than Fortnite obviously. Many LTMs fun ones too.

    Blackout was one of the better parts of the game and it was a really good spin on the battle royale franchise. Though I didn’t play it a whole bunch because I wasn’t into BR. But I did try it a few times and it was good.

    Last but not least there’s zombies , i feel like zombies was a really fun game mode with new storyline and a new way to play it. Though not as good as black ops 3 , it still had a very good style of game play that I enjoyed. I think the one thing that disappointed everyone was the micro transactions , but what did you expect. It is activision i mean. They will always do this with every CoD. But it wasn’t as bad as Bo3 ( in bo3 there were like 50+ weapons in supply drops compared to now where there’s only around 7 or 10 ).

    Anyways this game wasn’t super disappointing, it was just an average CoD.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a very odd take on the Black Ops series. The game fells almost like a free-to-play app. The removal of a campaign and the addition of a battle royale makes Black Ops 4 feel way different than it's previous installments. It was well received when it was first announced back in May 2018, getting everyone hyped for a new Call of Duty. When it first came out in October, the game was praised for it's intense gameplay and its cool new battle royale, but the game's glory didn't last for long. The graphics from the new engine BO4 ran on was a bit potato compared to BO3. The DLC rolled in, and the hate began to hit real hard after that. A lot, and I mean a lot of the DLC was "recycled content", consisting of guns from older CoD's, and re-used zombies maps with a "new story", and the return of supply drops; Because you can't make a Call of Duty game without micro-transactions. Blood of the Dead, Ancient Evil, Alpha Omega, and Voyage of Despair were very big let downs and were developed with the intention to make them "better than ever." The guns in previous Call of Duty's were balanced very well between each other, and while the base guns that don't require a supply drop to get, the other guns are very pay-to-win. Although some are okay (And some suck), others are very unbalanced and unfair at times. The S6 Stingray, AN-94, Grav, and Peacekeeper are all pretty powerful, and you don't even need a supply drop for the Grav. The Locus is a re-used weapon as well, but it's "meh", and the Vendetta is weak. The point is, Black Ops 4 is a game that was primarily made to compete against other Triple A titles and for nostalgia. I can't finish this review without talking about Tag Der Toten. In BO3, the final map to end it all was supposed to be Revelations, but everyone paniced, so Treyarch had to continue the Zombies story for just a little longer. Tag Der Toten (Day of the Dead) was named to be the opposite of Nacht Der Untoten (Night of the Living Dead), which was the first zombies map ever. The map is a re-master of Call of the Dead and takes place in the summertime, rather than winter (It's still cold). The map has the Victis crew (From Tranzit) as the last crew to ever see. The map is overall a great ending to a well-loved series, and I for one think that even though Black Ops has some pretty bad flaws, doesn't make it terrible enough to stop playing.… Expand

    It’s not that I can’t respect it — it seems to offer decent value in that it’s essentially three different types of shooter in one package, but aside from the new Blackout mode, I’ve had significantly better experiences from many of its competitors. And honestly, Blackout’s main competition is a free-to-play game. It may be better than Fortnite in my opinion, but sixty dollars better? I’m not entirely convinced about that, and without a decent singleplayer campaign attached, it’s a pretty hard sell for anyone who isn’t already a fan.

    Despite its generic title Black Ops IV feels like a fresh start for Call of Duty. The multiplayer and the zombie mode is very much the same as always, but with Blackout, Treyarch takes everything that is good with Player Unknown's Battleground and makes it better.

    With no campaign to test your trigger finger, the trio of a safe (albeit polished) battle royale, waning multiplayer, and rotting Zombies make BLOPS4 feel like a relic next to a post-Forsaken Destiny 2. [Issue#156, p.94]
