    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. One con about this game is that the maps in multiplayer are not that good but the dlc maps in multiplayer are fire but most of the time they don’t come on in multiplayer.

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.

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.    … Expand

There is no single player which I'm completely fine with, I was never interested in campaign in any of the cod series.

    I really love the Battle Royale on here. "Blackout" gives users from other battle Royale tites that option to play a different kind of battle Royale when other titles get completely redundant. Can't forget zombies!

    I only put this score because this will probably be the last decent Call of Duty for a few years until Activision reconsiders and removes the SBMM from public games; this COD has a potential we probably won't see in another COD for a few years, how good map design and above all, not having SBMM, Black Ops 4 is not perfect, but it is more so than MW 2019 and Black Ops Cold War at least asI only put this score because this will probably be the last decent Call of Duty for a few years until Activision reconsiders and removes the SBMM from public games; this COD has a potential we probably won't see in another COD for a few years, how good map design and above all, not having SBMM, Black Ops 4 is not perfect, but it is more so than MW 2019 and Black Ops Cold War at least as far as Multiplayer is concerned, I just hope to find that essence of COD again in the next video games that will come… Expand

    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...

    Огромное спасибо за игру, хотя она не обошлась без критики со стороны русских игроков.

    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.)

    Have to say its at its core one of the best CoDs of the last years, but only at its core, heres why.

    PRO: + 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    Have to say its at its core one of the best CoDs of the last years, but only at its core, heres why.

    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.    … Expand

    If Black Ops III was a 9/10 for me Black Ops 4 is close. Multiplayer's gameplay loop is compelling and fun, and gunplay is the typical Treyarch-tier great. League Play's (late) addition improves the title as it gives me a competitive setting I love and haven't experienced since Overwatch initiated its self inflicted hiatus from my rotation.

    It is my first to play a series of Call of duty. I feel it's a fast rhythm game, easily get a high point, but UI that feel bad, old, not cool. Some UAV system animation that is poor. I can't focus 100% attention on this game. after play 10hs, I feeling boring, but in the 10hs, It's a very high game.

    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.

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    … 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]
