    This is the most underrated call of duty game ever. The gunplay is really tight smooth and fun, all of the weapons are fun to use and diffrent, and I love the speacialists.

The battle royale (blackout) is super fun especially when I’m playing with my friends. Really fun battle royale. And the zombies is super fun. Trying to survive and killing zombies is super fun and intense and the maps are the best especially the dlc zombies maps. My favorite map is alpha omega, my second favoraite map is IX, and my third favorite map is blood of the dead. I really recommend this game it’s super fun Expand

    Black Ops 4... Treyarch's most divisive installment to date. Hated it when it came out, and over time it grew on me. There's a lot I love, and a lot I absolutely despise about this game.

    Specialist HQ is just horrible. I don't know why Treyarch wasted dev time adding this garbage tutorial to the game. They didn't even go back and add specialist tutorials for the new specialists they'd add
    Black Ops 4... Treyarch's most divisive installment to date. Hated it when it came out, and over time it grew on me. There's a lot I love, and a lot I absolutely despise about this game.

    Specialist HQ is just horrible. I don't know why Treyarch wasted dev time adding this garbage tutorial to the game. They didn't even go back and add specialist tutorials for the new specialists they'd add post-launch, so it's overall a pointless mode.

    MP is extremely smooth and fluid. The gunplay and movement is some of the best in the franchise, and the player visibility is amazing. The TTK, the maps, the guns and progression are all stellar. However, the Multiplayer feels less like Call of Duty and more like Overwatch. The hero shooter elements return from Black Ops 3, and they somehow made it worse. The Specialist abilities actually break the balance of the game, and they take absolutely no skill to use. On top of that, the SMGs, the Maddox, the ICR, and the Titan are significantly more overpowered than the other guns in the roster.

    Zombies is mediocre. This iteration of the mode is for the hardcore of the hardcore. If you hate the new style that BO3 Zombies had, you'll hate this game even more because they doubled down on it. But, how is that a bad thing? BO3 Zombies is universally loved. Well, they made this game so unbelievably complicated you'd need to look up a guide to play 6 out of the 8 available maps. On top of that, the perk system is a complete downgrade from what once was. Spawning in with your specialist and four hit points made the game too easy. The Easter Eggs for the most part were all gameplay disasters. BotD and Voyage are the best examples of terrible Easter Eggs in this game.

    Blackout was good, but it failed due to it not being free. If it were free, it would've stood a chance in the BR market.

    Overall, Black Ops 4 is a good game. The gameplay is extremely solid, and the art style is visually appealing. If you're a hardcore, this game was made with you in mind. Casuals, be aware that this game will be a nightmare for you.

    Black Ops 4 is one of the best Call of Duty games to date. The game plays almost flawlessly, and despite it not having a single player campaign still offers lots of content including the new Battle Royale mode Blackout. Black Ops 4 has a few rough edges, but any of its three modes make for an enjoyable shooter experience that feel distinct.

    Best COD on the PS4 in my opinion. Only issues with this game as of now is the 150 health and the poor design of the original maps and the perks not providing any real differences. I have no problem with them bringing back the OG maps like summit and firing range but the original maps of this game are pretty non memorable...

    Multiplayer: 7.5/10 (Takes longer to kill which is a bad thing to campers. Treyarch you did a good thing. Then the game gives us these bad updates.)
    Zombies - Chaos: 10/10 (Launches with 2 Chaos maps which is amazing! Maps are well designed, and have great content and easter eggs.)
    Zombies - Aether: 6.5/10 (Not that great. Should've ended the story in BO3. Maps are not that great.)

    + new gun feeling with recoil and different ttk with the new health system
    + cool specialists with weapons and abilities
    + one of the best battle royales out there
    + treyarch still going strong with their zombie mode

    CON:

    - still balancing issues with weapons and specialists
    - worst of the worst microtransactions going on and the worst reserves ( lootboxes ) system out there.
    - Treyarch has the worst communication out there, especially after everyone expection many things when they said "it will be the best supported and content delivered CoD"

    Overall I give it a 8 as the core itself is good but look at the cons for further guidance.

    This is the first COD game from MW2 that I liked. It has it own problems and cons, but still game is really fun. So major problem as for me is balancing of ranking match. There is no fu*king balancing. I was 1 lvl with some monsters in the game, it was still enjoyable, but I wish to play with equal players. Second big problem of this game is visuals (and design in general). Graphics is OKThis is the first COD game from MW2 that I liked. It has it own problems and cons, but still game is really fun. So major problem as for me is balancing of ranking match. There is no fu*king balancing. I was 1 lvl with some monsters in the game, it was still enjoyable, but I wish to play with equal players. Second big problem of this game is visuals (and design in general). Graphics is OK for me in, but if you compare to other games (i.e. Destiny 2 from the same Activision) it doesn't look that great. But design of characters and some maps is awful. Everything vivid, colorful, blinking and flashing. What's work with Fortnite, doesn't work with COD. Looks like mental hospital in amusement park.
    But like this game for other reasons:
    1) Blackout mode - first battle royal that I liked, it is well balanced, good paced and runs perfect on PS4. I played PUBG (PC) and H1Z1 (PS4) and non of them was that good.
    2) Ranking match - i was expecting to see R6S, but it feels like BO2 with Overwatch and this is good. Bigger TTK makes game more fun than usually and encourages you to act bravely. Units are different from each other and allows you to make experiments.
    3) Zombie mode - I don't know, I don't play games like these.

    Some people complain about absence of story mode, but this is one of the biggest pros.
    Previous games was stupid as fu*k and everyone knew it, but didn't want to admit.
    So, if you haven't played BO4, but you like R6S, Overwatch, older parts of COD or good Battle royal, be sure this game you'll definitely like

With no story mode included, Black Ops 4 can be broken down into its three game modes. These being the regular multiplayer and zombies modes found in most Call of Duty's, but also includes an all-new Blackout mode. The multiplayer is the best it has been for many years. It is ACTUALLY fun to play and very fast pace. The amount of small and medium size maps in the game allow for this to happen. It brings together past favorite maps such as "Nuke Town" or "Firing Range" which adds nostalgia to fans who have been there for years. The weapons feel pretty balanced and have undergone many changes since its initial release. Assault rifles seem to be the most dominant weapons as they can pretty much do everything you could ever want in the game. Snipers have little to no real reason to be used on the smaller maps meaning they feel unusable. The pick ten system they have for creating a loadout is more innovative then it has been in the past. Each weapon is allowed to have their own set of attachments that not every gun would have. There are new specialist attachments that allow for new impactful changes in your weapons however, it takes a couple spots up from your pick ten. Each spot for the pick ten feels way more important then it did before. The equipment almost feels as if it should not be used as well since the different specialist has abilities that are usually better. All the perks could disappear and I do not believe much of the game would change. Only a handful of them actually feels like they are making a difference. Scorestreaks seem to be overpowered at times as they completely change the pace of a game. Choppers and most air units instantly get kills with little time for someone to defend themselves. Zombies have been newly renovated in a couple ways. In the create a class selection you now have the option to pick your own perks and in what order you would like to receive them based off maps. The new map IX is one of my favorites in the franchise. It is linear enough for me to pack-a-punch weapons without the help of a guide. The map simply looks amazing with the many mythologies shown around. Classified brought out old favorites through the maps "Five" and "Moon." Zombies overall are as fun as it has always been in the past. Not too many changes had happened to make it stand out considerably. Blackout is your usual massive battle arena game. It brings out the best that its competitors had to offer and replicates them very well. Using original map design from past games as well shows a lot of care into what they have created. Overall, it is an enjoyable experience that could not be found in games such as PUBG. An issue with the game is that it contains a system of buying tiers in their Black Market section. It works exactly the same as it does for Fortnite. However, the tiers can unlock through simply playing the game. Everything found within their is purely cosmetic as well. Overall Black Ops 4 is an amazing new installment to a failing franchise. Hopefully, Treyarch will be able to keep its fan base happy as they normally do in the past. Expand

I have every COD and Battlefield ever made as well dozens of games ranging from CS:GO, ARMA, Titanfall , etc. I am more of a purist and prefer Modern Warfare Remastered than these newer COD's, but it is easy to see why they have gone the fast, high action, "specialist" route. It's fun and accessible. Blackout is a whole new leap forward in Battle Royale games and is just excellent. It's smooth, fast, loaded with hidden items, and looks to be open ended for special events. There's nothing quite like picking up a Paladin sniping rifle in a map that size. Every game has issues. COD devs seemingly still need to put in a max lag compensation threshold, for example. A lot of the multiplayer maps are remakes. Still, it's an all around great experience. The Firing Range map is as good as classic Nuketown. In a world where people pay 25 bucks for a single pizza delivery or 15 for 1 person at a movie, I see no problem with a $100-ish game package. I wish I could have gotten the mystery - super box edition. I feel like the netcode runs better on PS4, as I also have it on XBox. Expand

    Then there's the battle royale mode called Blackout, which i'll admit it's very challenging but intense as hell. There's added things in this mode like bullet drop off rates, item pickups and backpacks, vehicles, etc. Blackout takes time to understand, but once you do, it's hard to stop playing. I've even met some pretty cool people that actually use the headsets effectively because you really need to coordinate in Blackout.

    Then there's Zombies, which offers a lot of little modes within it to suit most players, casual or hardcore. I'll admit I've spent the least amount of time in Zombies, but I hope to get back into it eventually. The only thing I don't like is that most of the trophies for this game are unlocked via Zombies and I would have liked to see more trophies in the other modes.

    You might also say a negative is there's no longer a campaign really anymore. Personally, I don't call this a negative because thinking back to all the campaigns in older CoDs, they honestly weren't even that good. Nor will they ever be as good as CoD4:MW campaign. The missions themselves just got stale as the series has grown, so seeing it ditched altogether was no surprise. What might be considered campaign now is quick little stories from the different classes. They pit you against AI and overall it's quite boring, especially if you already played the MP. It's there just to get you familiar with each class, which makes no difference at all if you play Heist or Blackout all day.

    The game is a good return to what makes CoD a fun, fast-paced, rootin' tootin' gun shootin' game.

    The main complaint about this game is no campaign. It was announced before the release that there would be NO campaign. Therefore, all these 1's and 0's hold no merit. This is probably the best ONLINE CoD since WaW. If you are looking for a single player game then this game obviously isn't for you. However, adding Blackout has given players another option to remove the monotony.

Haven't played a ton of Blackout and zombies, as I'm not super into BR type games and zombies has become a bit much for me, but what I have played of each they are very well done and fun to play. The thing that knocks it down for me is the Black Market track, I wish they had some sort of skill based challenges similar to contracts and orders in WW2 (that don't cost CP) to keep some sense of progression or challenge going. I haven't gotten the pass yet and undecided if I will, 50$ seems like a lot to pay for what is essentially access to 12 maps (since I don't play zombies). I get that it's a way to prevent the player base split that inevitably happens with DLC but it's just a little steep for me. My mood could change quickly if they end up adding in more content or there's a sale. All in all his is the most fun I've had with a FPS since BO2 and don't let all of the negative user reviews about the lack of campaign cause you to hesitate if you're a fan of the series. Expand

    As much as I would have loved a campaign, I'd prefer a fully polished Multiplayer and Battle Royale Blackout.

    These days single player FPS COD campaigns aren't that interesting. BO3 was the last decent campaign. So I wouldn't bother worrying about it too much. It was already heavily advertised as having no campaign, so I don't know why there are so much whiners. But I have to say it's

They brought solid maps, solid gun play, relatively balanced characters and guns. That made up a pretty good experience. I will break down my review into each multiplayer mode.

    Battle Royal/Blackout:

    I think the BR in BO4 is some of the best we've seen so far, things can still be improved though. Progression is probably the worst thing in Blackout, but this can be improved with a simple patch. Takes a long time to unlock stuff as-is. Gun play is tight and feels responsive. I never felt like I was unfairly killed. Overall 8/10 (Minor bug fixes and better progression would make it a 10)

    Multiplayer:

    I spent the most of my time playing various modes in the multiplayer. in my 30ish hours I never noticed any weapon being overpowered, everything had its place. Progression is rewarding, unlocking things like skins or new weapons is very natural (once every couple games) and you always have something to look forward to. The customization of weapons is probably my favorite part, ALL guns feel different. Overall (10/10)

    Zombies:

    Probably the worst part of the game. Coming out with one map (and another blocked behind a paywall), though fun made the game feel pretty repetitive. Difficulty is there and playing with friends is a blast. Once they add more maps, it will be a lot better. Overall (7/10)

    Conclusion... I can't comment on micro transactions as the game has none yet. It's something to keep an eye on. The $60 you spend on the game, as of this moment is worth it. Overall (8/10)

    Keep in mind, this is my opinion and mine alone!

Treyarch has turned the tables in hopes for a bright future, being the first ever Call of Duty to not feature a campaign mode. This is essentially the “story mode” that players often play alone for a single player experience. Treyarch has decided to completely ditch this and offer three different multiplayer options. This includes Multiplayer, Zombies and the newest installment, Blackout. The large leap of faith in order to save what is left of the dying franchise was extremely successful. They have pleasantly surprised long-time fans while also bringing in millions of new supporters. Black Ops 4 has made history with outselling every other previous Call of Duty regarding digital copies on release date. The amount of features this game includes is too hard to ignore. It is never too late to become a fan of this series because of the adaptive and responsive design company that is Treyarch. The future is bright for Call of Duty. Expand

    I'm not the biggest COD fan, I admit. I would honestly give this game a 7 or 7.5. All of its modes are always fun to play, whether it be blackout, multiplayer, or zombies. But I do find myself getting tired of playing them rather quickly, as some modes get repetitive. Granted, it's probably gonna something that I will come back to from time to time, whether it's to get a higher round on zombies, unlock more camos in multiplayer, or to get #1 in blackout. It also helps that I have many friends that enjoy the game and I play with almost daily.

    This is the first cod game i've played seriously since Black Ops 2 and I am absolutely loving this game so far. Definitely gonna play the **** out of this game for the next year (unless RDR2 eats my life away).

    Black ops 4 is the best call of duty since MW2, and that's a fact. The fact people are bitter over campaign being cut is dumb.

Multiplayer also has been revamp, while still holdning on to its roots enough, that it feels so fresh and good. The specialists are amazing and the new health system really gives a new tactical play to the game. Even thought it's small maps, it makes up with the slightly slower gun play, that evens the game out very nicely. The weapons are fun and the new spray patterns are really nice. The modes are very fun, especially the new ones like Heist and control, but DOM feels a bit campy and spawn trappy.
    Blackout is the most polished BR mode out there. The fun play is good, the vihecls are fun and the mode is very competitive.
    Zombies really hits it home for me. The maps are beautiful and they play very well. The mode has gotten a fresh take while still being treyarch zombies. it's a nice new perk system and the new elixirs are a polished and better gobbelgum system. The new Zombies is both Noob friendly and a challenge for the Hardcore players, because of the new difficulty system. The easter eggs are back and are okay but not the best they have been. The graphics are great and you become really immersed into the game. weapons are also really fun and good in zombies.

    This COD really deserves more praise, and not all the hate from the salty people because they took out a **** gamemode. If you really are so upset about it then why do you still buy the game. its dumb you're complaining but still riding activision as always.
    To end this off, this Cod is really fun and if you are in search of a good multiplayer game, then definitely buy this game.

It has very strong and interesting plot.

Another sound, shooting mechanic, class system (IT IS NOT TAKEN FROM OVERWATCH, DON'T FORGET THAT TREYARCH HELPED BLIZZARD TO CREATE OVERWATCH), and many other things. It is not DLC for BO3, it's completely another game with cool ideas and mechanics.

    BO4 is the COD i've had the most fun in ages! It's something new and still it feels like back in the days. And finally the Specialists really make some sense and are fun to play with. The Multiplayer is super balanced and finally your aim highly affects the outcome of your gunfights as you have more health and it also reduces the risk of being randomly killed by bad luck. It's one of the few games where i mostly account for my own faults when losing as opposed to blaming the game for it's mechanics. The only bad thing I noticed was that it seems you can sometimes still be killed when already in cover behind a wall, but that has been around in COD since a long time.
    Of course it's unfortunate that the game does not have campaign as it could have been a perfect opportunity to further extend the Black Ops storyline, but in the end it does not really matter. The Multiplayer AND Zombies is great fun, maybe it is not for everyone but for my part i really love it and therefore rate it as 9/10 cause there still might be a couple negative aspects + no campaign but Treyarch really did a good job.

    I've briefly played zombies XI map twice. Im not an Easter egg hunter but had a blast figuring out the basics of the map and blowing zombies to bits. Oh and there are 2 other maps included as well with its own standalone progression system from blackout and multiplayer.

    Multiplayer feels right again. It feels like where the series should have progressed after bo2 instead of the future setting and movement we got for a while. The best way i can describe how it feels is black ops 2, mixed with some bo3 elements. The maps are some of the best i've experienced in a long time. The killstreaks feel powerful when you earn them....... i'm looking at you ww2....... and the manual healing system adds extra strategy into your gameplay. And it becomes muscle memory real quick.

    Honestly don't let the 0 reviews scare you. Its obviously not a 0 by any stretch of the imagination. Although there are some balancing issues in multiplayer and blackout, they will get fixed and forgotten about. If you're a big fan of cod, like i am, l then i think there is a lot to love here.

    Now onto my personal review of the game. It's great! I feel like Call of Duty is finally (getting) back to its roots. Sure it is still based in the future a bit but not like other COD games we have seen. No more exo-skeleton, no more wall running, no more flying or double jumping. We are finally back to boots on the ground action and grit.

    Again, we are (getting) back to what the COD franchise used to be and it feels so good! Multiplayer is solid and so far I haven't had any issues.

    If you are looking for a Call of Duty that brings you back home and makes you feel good about the game again, pick this one up. I have owned practically every one of them up to this one and can finally say that this game is getting back to its roots as it should.

    Again, don't like Battle Royal and want a campaign? Don't buy the game, simple as that. But leaving a review for a game that you did no research on and then purchased and hated, I have no sympathy for you.

And for the first time in a title of this franchise, there isn't single-player campaign. Maybe because the Black Ops 3 campaign fell it was a disappointment compared to the Black Ops 1 and Black Ops 2, or even World at War. Or Treyarch focused too much on the multiplayer component that ran out of time for more. Regardless of the reason, Black Ops 4 has no single-player component, but in contrast, the biggest focus on multiplayer is made to feel positively throughout the game.

    Starting with the main novelty, Blackout is Black Ops 4's Battle Royale mode. For those unfamiliar with this, it's a way that puts 95 players against each other on a massive map filled with well-known locations in the series. The player may choose to play in teams of four, of two or else test their ability on solo. Depending on certain factors, it may be difficult to find players at the beginning due to the size of the map, but fortunately the safety zones will make encounters with opponents players more frequent. If we want to have more characters in Blackout, we have to complete the requirements of each character. Despite the amount of frustration due to my failures and my lack of luck, I confess that this Blackout was a pleasant surprise and is undoubtedly a good Battle Royale mode.

    Although it doesn't have a single-player campaign, the game provides us with Substories about Specialists and these events take place between Black Ops 2 and Black Ops 3. It isn't really a substitute for a real campaign, but it serves to pause the competitive aspect. And speaking of a competitive aspect, before embarking on the multiplayer of Black Ops 4, it is necessary to choose the specialist class. The game presents a total of 10 classes, namely Ruin, Prophet, Battery, Seraph, Nomad, Firebreaker, Recon, Ajax, Torque and Crash, these four last ones being a debut. As for modes, Control, Heist, Free For All, Kill Confirmed are present for example.

    The multiplayer has undergone some changes to encourage players to do teamwork, to be more tactical and to reduce the number of rambo users. And one of those changes was to remove the heath regeneration. To recover life, we must use the gear item Stim Shot. In other words, healing is now a manual rather than an automatic action, which adds to this tactical factor, in that it is necessary to choose between risking another confrontation or withdrawing tactics to regain life. Also note that the double jumps, long slips, walk the walls and other unnecessary things that were in Black Ops 3 were removed. The Black Ops 4 clashes all take place on the ground and everything runs smoothly, fast and more balanced. However, spawns need tweaking on some maps.

    No surprises, the Zombies co-op mode is back, now bigger than ever. This way, despite having some familiar aspects, which even a positive point, also suffered some changes. For example, the GobbleGums have been replaced by Elixirs. The four perks (Quick Revive, Stamin-Up, Eletric Burst and Mule Kick) are still present, but some new ones have been added, such as Timeslip, Death Perception, Dying Wish and Stone Cold Stronghold. In addition, we can customize the perks or statues of the Voyage of Despair map to the perks we want. And we have Special Weapons and talismans that can be used during our battles.

    In Zombies, the player can choose Classic mode or Rush mode. In this last mode, there is a Mystery Box in all the spawns spots, we can get perks or open the Mystery Box without spending a single point. Now, certain sites can only be accessed once a wave of enemies has been completed. And right now, during some wave of enemies, we have to be inside the safety zone and endure.

    As for maps are available the Voyage of Despair, IX and the Blood of the Dead. Voyage of Despair takes us on a boat inspired by the Titanic, while the IX is staging an ancient area of Rome. Finally, Blood of the Dead takes us back to the Alcatraz Prison and as you may be thinking, this is a remake of the Black Ops 2's DLC Uprising Mob of the Dead map. Scarlett Rhodes, Bruno Delacroix, Diego Becalli and Stanton Shaw are among the characters we will use in Voyage of Despair and IX, while Blood of the Dead is represented by Edward Richtofen, Tank Dempsey Takeo Masaki and Nikolai Belinski.

    Don't think it's just killing enemies in this Zombies mode. There are several challenges for the player to complete, such as obtaining certain rare weapons or finding easter eggs on a specific map. Overall, Treyarch has made some changes to this Zombie mode, but without drastically changing what fans like so much in this mode. In short, even without a traditional single-player campaign, Treyarch has produced one of the best Call of Duty since the original Black Ops.

Battlefield hasn't done anything new or ground breaking and you can make the same argument that its the same every game. I'm pretty sure these "0" reviews are trolls who don't even play the games.

    Well, on to CoD Black Ops 4. In short its awesome. I never pay for games full price and I never was into the Battle Royale style of gaming. Blops 4 succeeds in this. Black Out is tons of fun and gives Call of Duty new life. The map is huge and will hit the nostalgia nerve for long time fans of the series. The use of med packs is refreshing and so are the vehicles. Its flawless and the mechanics are smooth.

    The online multiplayer is great as usual with staples like Team Death Match and the new (?) Heist mode. Zombies is zombies which is a great thing. Its always been one of the reasons I play Call of Duty.

    The fact that there is no campaign makes no difference to me. They stated from the get go that there will be none and lets be honest, the campaigns were never the focal point of Call of Duty. Its all about online. In short, if you're a fan of the series go get it you wont be disappointed. If you are a troll who is bored at home and want to hate something they have no intentions on playing, go play something different. Don't game shame somebody.

    Summary: Great game for players that fell off CoD

    I played a bit of CoD2, more of CoD3, then A LOT every year from CoD4 - Black Ops 2. I fell off CoD after that. Tried to get back in at Black Ops 3, but just had no interest. I picked up Black Ops 4, because I was in a gaming rut. After Spider-Man, I had no desire to play another open world or brawler style game. Blops 4 has been really fun and enjoyable.

    Blackout is a solid Battle Royale mode with CoD shooting (the shooting in PUBG & Fortnite just doesn't feel good to me). I tried out Zombies and it was fun, but not really my thing. For those that like Zombies, it seems like it will provide a lot of fun with three maps.

    Multiplayer was a little longer for me to warm up to. I didn't understand at first that picking a hero was different from picking a class. IMO, the pre-made Class #1 is terrible. Once I realized I could change class, I found one that worked for me and quickly shot up to Level 5, where I could start creating my own class. Multiplayer still took some getting used to. I think only Battery lets you have a grenade (until you unlock grenades somewhere in the Level 40's). Coming from years of dealing with grenade spam, it was weird to both not worry about grenades and not have one to throw to where I knew people were camping. Each hero/operator has two special abilities. Some of these are quite good, and some just make me wonder what I don't understand about how to use them, because they shouldn't be that unbalanced.
    One thing that is annoying, there are already people who have a sniper rifle setup, where they can quick zoom, not be on you, and one shot kill you in the body through body armor. That's something I still hate about CoD, especially when they can do it close range.

    I enjoyed playing the CoD campaigns in previous games, but I don't miss it here. It could be that there are so many good single player games, and I was craving a fun multiplayer, but I am not sure.

    In summary, if you fell off CoD, this is a good one to get back in.

    Very enjoyable game. Loving zombies with friends. The multiplayer is fun and Blackout is far and above PUBG. I can't see how any battle royale will beat it.

    Perfect stop gap until fallout 76/rdr2 comes out.

    I think the 0 reviews are pretty harsh. Either angry fans, or pubg/fortnite kids i imagine.

I dig its jumped on the Battle Royal bandwagon but gotta say they pulled it off... fills the gap if you want something a little more serious than fortnite but not quite a sim like as Pubg.

    Multiplayer is standard COD with Pick 10 from BO2, Specialists from BO3, but now 10 (6 old, 4 new) to choose from, and improved weapon/class customization. Although the game does not include a single player campaign, there is a mode called Specialist HQ that is basically a tutorial for each specialist with each having a backstory.

Although the game does not include a single player campaign, there is a mode called Specialist HQ that is basically a tutorial for each specialist with each having a backstory.

    I personally didn't play much of the previous Zombies, but based on other sites, it looks like they've beefed it up considerably with more play styles, 2 storylines, and 3 maps.

    Finally there is Blackout which is very similar to PUBG, but stable. They've added perks (time limited when in use) to find as well. The map includes locations of previous COD games. They've also got a fun area with zombies that they threw into the mix. The additions work quite well and doesn't take away from the Battle Royale experience.

    As with any new game, there are some tweaks that need to be made. Bad respawns in multiplayer. The base game is the standard $60, but I spent $100 for the deluxe digital edition. I also had to purchase Playstation Plus. So be prepared to spend some money at the get go if this is your first go around with COD.

    I haven't seen a DLC ever worth the $30/$40, and my expectations are low for BO4 to be any different. If Treyarch is going to join the Battle Royale realm, I expect consistent content updates similar to Fortnite. But as I've said, my expectations are low.

    If you are a fan of multiplayer gaming, you'll enjoy this game. $60 is ok to spend on this especially if you don't typically play with friends. If you do, then expect to put money down for the DLC as well unless you expect all your friends to never go beyond the base game. I enjoy it. I play on my own and sometimes with friends. Spending $160 (Deluxe + PS Plus) hurt, and although there is decent amount of content on the DLC, I hope for content updates for all players for at least Blackout. Hoping for the best, but expecting the worst.

    Game is honestly very surprising to me. Didn't really expect it to be this good. It's got 3 modes that are all fun and replayable, no campaign so they can focus more on the other modes, and its very fun to play with friends. If you've got the console (or a PC that can run it), if you've got the money, I think it's all worth it.

    Blackout is the best mode there is in this game. Fortnite and PUBG have failed to give me that Battle Royal rush, but when I played Blackout, I began to have hours and hours played in solo and duo matches. It's one of the best battle royal games there is to play, although it cost $59.99 or more, it's still a fun game to play every day.

    I haven't had this much fun with a Call of Duty game in a very long time! Everything feels just right, and I'm glad it's more grounded. I didn't think I'd like the whole class ability thing, however after playing it I'm in love with them! There's just something super satisfying about creating choke points with razorwire and barricades as Torque!

    The multiplayer is back to how it used to be. Smaller maps, faster paced with no wall jumps, booster packs, etc. The guns are normal guns, and not unrealistic. Colours are bright, so it's easier to see, just like in the original Black Ops. They introduced player types, similar to Overwatch, which gives you a different advantage for each player. I will be logging many hours into this multiplayer. I haven't enjoyed many of the latest Call of Duty games, since Black Ops 2.

    As for the lack of a campaign mode. Who cares? They were only around 5 hours to beat anyways. The majority of COD fans want zombies, and multiplayer. All Treyarch did was focus on what the fans want! This is Treyarch's bread and butter.

    For Zombies, I have not enjoyed ANY zombies maps since the original Black Ops. I've played all 4 maps. (Including the Pentagon remake from BO1... Thanks Treyarch!). All 4 of these maps were great! The arena one was extremely fun. They are brighter colours, and more space to escape zombies. You start with more health than in previous games, which enhances the experience. No more 10 to 15 minute matches, and wasting your time having to restart, after just getting into the groove of a match. This way you can really have a meaningful match each time you play!

    For the blackout mode, they replaced the campaign with this. Doesn't that make sense though, seeing as this is the type of game mode that people enjoy to play right now. Fortnight and PUBG are some of the most popular games, and Black Ops 4 is giving you a superior experience in this regard.

    All in all, don't listen to all the haters. Most negative reviews are strictly because it didn't have a campaign mode. How can you negatively rate a game for what it doesn't have? You should only rate it on what it DOES have. I will take blackout mode, over Campaign mode any day of the week. There's endless story style games out there.

    This is an extremely fun game, and I would definitely suggest getting it, especially if you enjoyed the original Black Ops! This game was made for fans!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game offers so much it's mind blowing. Even if you don't get the BOP the $60 you spend is still worth it. For the lack of a story/campaign they do offer a small story to get use to the character that are available at launch. The black-op mode is by far the best thing this game has simply because it's a grown up version of fortnite. A squad of your friends can make this mode that much worth it for your experience. The multiplayer version of the game is the same as before but the beauty of it is all everything you do matters and at least for me no more running and gunning. This series is by far the best and I hope that in the future that they do a dedicated VR mode for those that have the VR headset. Outside of that great game yes it's worth the 60 bucks.

The Black out mode is 2nd to non unless you like to build then go to the kiddie fortnite , because this here is for the grown n sexy lol .

    They could possibly tweak the merit system just a bit to give out damage merit for those that get assists or aid in taking a player down and maybe make it a bit easier to track a supply drop. Adding zombies was genius, and adding more events to the BR mode from time to time would be fun!
    All the multiplayer modes are totally solid. Heist is an interesting mode, but I usually just stick with the classic old TD or KC. Also like the single player tutorial mode for each of the specialist so you can decide which one you like. super big on the zombie mode but me and my wife have fun with it as you can add AI bots that seem to be not as dumb as I thought they would be.
    Does anyone even play a campaign anymore? I haven't played one in years. I guess if that is all I came for I would be a bit disappointed like some people are.

    There are 3 modes. Blackout being the most hyped, lives up to all expectations and more. Fast fluid cod gameplay. Sublime movement. Lots of gadgets and toys to play with. And land, sea and air vehicles to mess around on. This is the pinnacle of BR gaming imo.

    Zombies is back! As in the real one.......as in Treyarch Zombies. Nobody does it better. This year we have 3 big beautiful maps to explore. And they are all brimming with fun weapons, toys, secrets, missions, glorious visuals, seriously it's stunning. New modes are available too.

    Multiplayer, for me, is the best cod i've played since bops1. Which was my favourite cod ever. This is incredible. 9 new maps. I'd say honestly after 20 hours of play in this mode, 7 of them are amazing pure fun. Most importantly the map layouts are masterfully crafted. The other 2 maps aren't even bad. They are good. But the others are almost perfect. To make up the numbers 4 classics return including slums and jungle. These maps are as good as they've ever been. Nuketown surely on the way shortly as well.

    This year cod has a bigger emphasis on class ability use. Almost becoming a 'very lite' hero shooter. And it's a very welcome change. Healing in fights is now essential and adds a new layer to gameplay. There is a couple new modes added this year. One of which turns the game into a counter-strike type of game. Players start with a pistol and some money and must buy weapons, gadgets and abilities as rounds move on. This has become an addiction for me today.

    I have been blown away by the quality in this years cod. All the modes are outstanding. There's no better word to describe it.
    The best cod has ever been? For me personally, yeah.

    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.
