    This game is online multi player focused which makes me very upset since I buy them for the single player story line campaigns.

    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...

    The reason I gave this game a 3 is just because of the Blackout and Multiplayer! The zombies was phenomenal! Multiplayer broken and p2w. This game was rejected. I’d say just get rid of this game. I would actually love 2018 CoD if it was just zombies. This game is terrible.

    Tired of greedy companies pushing online only games. Not even a story/campaign. All that's left for split screen: -Recycled maps with bots
    -Zombie mode

    That was the last CoD I've bought (glad I waited for second hand to be disappointed)

The weapons were nice and interesting with nice variants of customs, etc. I had a bunch of guns I enjoyed playing with it. Maybe the most in any cod I've played. Nice choice of maps too. 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. I've played a little of Blackout... just not my scene... not that good in battle royales. This a pretty good cod imo.

    Good lord, what a waste of time. Treyarch has clearly lost their touch. I thought that Black Ops 3 was an average game at most, a 5-6 out of 10. Not the worst CoD game I've ever played, but it definitely held the title as my least favorite in the series.

    Until Treyarch released Black Ops 4 three years later. Single player campaign? Gone and replaced with the INSULTING Specialist HQ. A multiplayer mode that took core aspects of COD gameplay and threw it into the trash in favor of MORE Specialists and other B.S. Campaign was replaced with "Blackout", a battle royale mode which "does it only the way Black Ops can". Blackout was nothing more than Fortnite and PUBG with a Call of Duty skin (and with graphics that would've been bad on a PlayStation 2). Zombies is still the best gamemode (it was the best in BO3 as well), but even then it's a severe downgrade. As much as I enjoy playing maps like "IX" and "Blood of the Dead", it doesn't make up for the outright atrocities of "Voyage of Despair" and "Dead of the Night", and the fact that the final two Aether maps EVER were nothing more than remakes of "Nuketown" and "Call of the Dead" with no CGI cutscenes was insulting to the Zombies community.

    Do not buy this game. Do not even get it when it's free. Treyarch should have to pay YOU to play this trainwreck. It's very clear that the devs gave up on Black Ops 4 very early in its life cycle. And if the devs don't care about the game, then why should us players care about it?

    fortuitously they can get bought for 24 eros per weapon (ca. 70 hours game time).
    the only half good thing is the zombie mode, but it feels kinda slow to me.

    "Not saying The Force Unleashed was some perfect game - hell, i'll be the first to point out its myriad of gigantic issues. Problem is TFU had a LOT of unique enemy variety, whereas JFO just takes real world animals, makes them look slightly different, and calls it good." 8 replies

    So the thing is is that there are alien trolls and undead and stormtroopers in the game, to be specific those count as real world animals when a universe has consistent cause and effect, makes sense and is good. It is Disney Star Wars so it does none of those things. The real world actually only refers to everything that has consistent cause and effect. This is objective factual and indisputable, don't be retarded by pretending it isn't. Everything I have said in response to the above statement from @WrittenRage is indisputable fact.

    This is a review of Black ops 4 after it has fully finished its content and I must say this was a disaster many call of duty fans are gonna remember

    Lets start with Blackout a controversial mode put in because battle royale was popular at the time and got rid of the campaign (most likely from all the hate towards bo3 campaign as well). This had so much potential and sadly it flopped..... hard. We got one new location in the entirety of a year, i hate to compare it to fortnite but at least they consistently kept it fresh to keep the player base playing the game. Zombies where a nice addition though and quest items to get characters was a great addition I really liked and sadly we never got anymore after launch apart from Multiplayer outfits. Some of the new modes where interesting with the best being the small Alcatraz map mode, none though really surprised me so I just stuck to playing the core modes.

    Multiplayer was bad as well. Most of the weapons which came with the new operation where way too overpowered and didn't get the necessary nerf. How can i forget to talk about the god awful specialist and how overpowered some where to others eg. torque was useless while nomad was op. This really ruined the experience and most of the new maps where completely forgettable. Finally the modes in this were fine like the st patricks day mode was fun and so was heist but sadly we didn't get enough new and unique modes but ones we already had in previous games (just like the specialist)

    Zombies.... this breaks my heart how this went from the massive hype of bo3 to this absolute trainwreck. We are introduced to a new crew named the chaos crew which where forgettable with the only real characterization going to scarlett and the other characters, well, you will have to read comics for. Four launch maps was unbelievable, but sadly only one of the maps was the high quality which we expected, this map was IX. Voyage of despair was tedious to play and the two Aether maps where remakes which destroyed their classic maps. Then came the DLC season..... damn this was horrible. Dead of the Night was garbage, too many zombie types and new characters was an insulting punch to the player base. No content for a long time after that, I believe it was for four months. Blackout and Multiplayer getting consistent updates while the zombie playerbase was given nothing but gauntlets which where boring. Finally we get ancient evil its great but its on the Bo4 engine so eh it will be forgotten sadly. Alpha Omega and Tag Der Toten where bad, no CGI intros or outros for the end of 10 years, this was bad, what happened, well probably funding cuts. How are the maps? just like all the other bo4 maps, forgettable. The ending to zombies pissed a lot of people of, it pisses me off but not as much, its the closure we needed, still we wanted a satisfying ending not a shocking ending. Also factions.... we don't talk about that.

    Specialist HQ is one of the most insulting things added, trying to add a campaign story to get you excited for probably the next black ops. Don't get me wrong I like the idea it has but really did we need cutscenes? no we just want to try out the specialist to see what they do. So yeah this was trash.

    All the broken promises, laziness and greedy tactics is what destroyed what could of been a return to form but sadly this continues the spiral down for the call of duty franchise. Maybe we get a call of duty every two years to polish the games and never get a disaster like bo4 again.

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.

    Modern Warfare just came out, so now here I am reviewing a game that was made last year. Okay, I review a lot of games that are old. Now lets get to the point, I was very disappointed.

Now lets get to the point, I was very disappointed. I had high hopes for this game and Activision through it out the window. Ever since Fortnite came out, 12 year olds started to love the game and it was a big hit to the video game world. The game had two aspects that influenced developers to copy this down. First of all they got the tier list which was the more exp you gained the more you could unlock. And you had the premium version and the normal version. On to the second aspect was the battle royal, of course there had already been games with a battle royal, but not as intense as Fortnite. With 100 players and a boundary closing in on players which makes the game a little more intense. Even though PUBG did this before people still ignored that. A new battle royal and a tier list influenced game creators. So games started having these tier lists and battle royals included. And you may be wondering, what does this have to do with COD. Well the people who played the game is obvious. When I heard that Black Ops had a battle royal like Fortnite's, I was exited. I bought the game then when I opened it up, it was somewhat good. It was decent for a few days until I found out that there was no story mode. And i was mortified dammit! A COD game with no story mode............ God did what! And apparently there was a story mode, but it was a tutorial merged with the story. And that made it even worse. The cutsences were short, and when I mean short, it was like 10 seconds long. Maybe even shorter. The gameplay wasn't even part of the story. Actually should i even try to call it some sort of story. If they just put it as a tutorial and not show any resemblance of a story, and just showed all the characters backstories, I would give this game a 5. For my standards anything a 5 or over is good game and rating. The tutorial made the game bad, not horrible but just bad. Expand

    А на фоне такого дикого ТТК, который они зачем то сделали это вообще ужас.
    Я не лютый нагибатор, но в том же БО3 я спокойно занимаю периодически первые места в nlv/ Это примерно в среднем 20 к 15 соотношение. Тут я ползаю на самом дне изза ублюдского неткода и ушлепанского ТТК. Хотя я очень ждал колду без джетпаков и бега по стенам. ДОЖДАЛСЯ,...
    В рояле это не так критично. Но любимый всеми ТДМ это убивает просто на корню.

    Плюс абсолютно кривые респауны. Можно несколько раз подряд заспауниться под одним и тем же огнем.

    Не забываем про просадки ФПС. ПРОСАДКИ КАРЛ! На картах 5 на 5 метров с убогой графикой!!! Правда рояль более стабилен...

    Про абсолютную пустоту контента на старте я вообще молчу. Оружия мало. Кастомизация бомжатская. Уже почти месяц прошел с релиза, а они даже черный рынок не прикрутили. Про отсутствие сюжетки ничего говорить не буду, она меня мало интересует в колде.

    Просто удивительно, что отказавшись от сюжетки, Трейарк выпустили такое лютое говно. При этом цена как за качественный ААА проект. Но пока что им и не пахнет. С батлой примерно такая же картина...

    И еще один минус: по сути эта игра - ремастер старых мультиплеерных режимов. Это печально. Одни и те же карты столетней давности - это уже совсем халтура.

    В итоге ставлю тройку только изза наличия рояля. Он хоть немного скрашивает картину.

    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 also worth noting that I'm usually pretty negative when it comes to this franchise. It hasn't been amazing for some time. Previous Black Ops games were good, but not amazing like MW1 and 2. This is back up to standard. Give this game a chance and you won't regret it.

    EDIT: I had to come back and edit this after how they nickled and dimed the playerbase. The microtransactions were horrible. My review was posted at launch and I'm back here 10-2-19 to make the change.

Then again it's definitely a video that had been made by an absolutely completely retarded bot, the video also definitely got taken down so no worries. It'll be a good day when tardtube and all the idiots on it vanish.

    UPDATE: Blitzed with micro transactions and terrible progression. They ruined a great product.
    While Blackout is good, I am in love with the MP. It is so buttery smooth, and we finally have some deviation from the 3 lane map formula that started to drive me insane in the later CODs. Heist and Control are two excellent new game types which keep it fresh as well. Its not perfect, but it's finally done something to make itself different from previous titles. A lot of the reviews mention the lack of campaign, I will get far more value out of Blackout than I would have from a campaign, so I see it as a fair trade.

    One of the worst CoDs ever. Worst MTX we have ever seen and many unnecessary new features were added that make the game just worse (for example 150 health and self healing). Also the maps are all pretty bad exept the remastered ones which is pretty sad. In addition to that there was almost none new content after launch. Only good thing is the movement and the BR mode.

Also, there are guns that you can ONLY get by paying real money. The kicker? They’re THE BEST GUNS IN THE GAME. Black ops 4 is a complete pay to win mess, and treyarch and activision are complacent in this garbage. Save your money, do NOT buy this game.

I absolutely love what they have done with that mode; however, I'm severely disappointed by the lack of content that has been added since the release of Black Ops 4. There are several issues I have with this video game, one of them being the micro-transaction system. Currently, you either have to grind for approximately 60 days to get all of the "content" that is in this title, or spend an absurd amount of money. For example, if you like a particular camouflage that is behind supply drops, you have to get it for every single gun in the game. That's just ridiculous! Also, the time to kill in multi-player, at least in core game modes, is much too long on most weapons, other than snipers and specialist weapons. Who thought that was a good idea? Lastly, the removal of single-player was absolutely stupid. Some people, including myself, love campaigns in Call of Duty. Why did Blackout, which is my least favorite mode in the entirety of the game, get the okay to just shove a great concept out the window? I'm not saying this is the absolute worst CoD that has been made, but it's damn close. Expand

    The zombies mode is quite developed but I feel it's way too messy. I miss those of World at War, simple and dark maps without too much useless complications where you really feel that dark vibe. Here it looks more like Disneyland, and that's the case for several previous CoDs as well.

    In what regards the multiplayer, it's really nothing really new nor better than before. I feel like playing Black Ops 3 without the jetpacks, in a slight worse quality actually. That being said, it's still enjoyable and I still play it regularly. I just really hate this carnival vibe with all those crazy camos and unrealistic childish things. We'll see if MW2019 does better, because it's now quite a while that CoD doesn't improve anymore.

Have the time when I play a multiplayer game, it queues me in when the game is 90 - 20. It's also obvious that they only want money considering the loot box system is completely **** You are not going to get a gun you want unless you get a bribe or a crate. And wouldn't you know it you have to buy crates. It wouldn't be much of a problem if it weren't for the most overpowered weapons in the game were only able to be gotten in the crate. For examples of the guns: Stingray, Daemon, and ballistic knife. You can also tell that they were lazy by all of the maps. Half of them were just reused. You could also tell the laziness because they completely took out the campaign. Just why. And then you got blackout. You could tell the company was just going to try with this because fortnite was popular at the time. Yet it sucked. Like a lot. It's the only thing I can't really play in bo4. Half the time when I'm playing I just get ran over. When you got to league play half the guns have been removed. That's how you know the game is completely unbalanced. This is not a complete list of things wrong with the game but I just wanted to give an idea. But if you're thinking about buying the game just don't. I wasted my money on it and am just unhappy.

I'll tell you why further down, but first off let me address the things they did right: Gunplay is predictably solid has been polished by nearly two decades of perfecting the Call of Duty formula. Visuals are fantastic plain and simple, and emblem/weapon customization is unexpectedly in-depth. Now these are about the only things they've gotten right. Hidden beneath all of the usual CoD-iness you'll find that the game is engineered in every way possible to nickel and dime players in the most atrocious methods possible. Let me address the most ridiculous thing they decided to do: Lock weapons behind lootboxes. These weapons are the S6 Stingray, the Peacekeeper, the Locus, and the Ballistic Knife. This has to be the most scummy thing I've ever seen happen in a game. The usual progression system has been thrown through the weapon in favor of an EA-esque "Surprise Mechanics" style of locking content behind gambling. You could pour in hundreds of dollars into these "reserve crates" and get naught for your efforts, so imagine how nonsensical it is for them to lock behind any amount of content behind an in game purchase. I've just recently played a game against someone that was lucky enough to be graced with a ballistic knife and it was ridiculous. A melee weapon that has the capabilities of shooting an insta-killing projectile. That's the type of stuff Activision is bribing their playerbase with. The incentive for giving in to Treyarch's demands and acquiescing any number of reserve crates through real money is complete unhindered access to weapons that only the rich or lucky 1% could ever get their hands on. This represents issues on a much deeper scale than previously thought possible. Not to mention how O' Generous Treyarch has decided to "bless" us with an in-game event where we get free access to DLC maps for a whopping whole two days. Why thank ye kind masters, this bountiful feast would surely excuse the shoveling of unwanted lootboxes down every single one of our loyal throats, so please keep on pouring! Surely one of the loyal peasantry would get the opportunity to have been bequeathed the god-tier S6 Stingray by our almighty overlords before they **** US AND TAKE OUR WALLETS. This goddamn behavior is INEXCUSABLE. What has possessed these fools to lock every ounce of content behind paywalls? There's no singleplayer campaign, blackout is a damn joke, zombies might be fun for those that like horde shooters, maps that would've otherwise been added to the base game in any other situation are sold to us in "packs" and wagged in front of us like a freaking chewtoy, and finally they decide to shove weapons into slot machines to incentivize gambling. What a damn joke this was, unfortunately I already bought the game or else I'd have never touched thus franchise with ten foot rod. Heed my words naive adventurer, stay as far away from this unholy cesspool of a game if you can help it. You will only end up $30-60 lighter and will only feed this damn demon's bottomless greed.

I was unfortunate enough to get suckered into purchasing the black ops pass thinking it would provide some cool content or incentives for purchasing it but like many others was left feeling completely ripped off. They might as well have just marketed this game as a strictly battle royal game only and left out the traditional multiplayer because the BR mode is the only one they actually put any real effort into and unfortunately I'm not a fan of that genre of game. The multiplayer is filled with horrible spawn points that leave you frequently getting spawn killed, quickscopers, horrible match balancing that results in sometimes playing for hours without a single win due to very unbalanced teams, and lastly the specialists that were supposed to be the selling point in the game that end up making it the most annoying experience of all. Most of the specialists are useless, a lot the specialists abilities are extremely OP (Zero). I do not see this game lasting as long as they marketed it for, once Modern Warfare drops the playerbase for this game in multiplayer is going to have a huge drop off. Expand

    So this game is the worst game in the franchise that i've ever played so let's start out with this game doesn't have a singleplayer campaign which every other CoD has which is a big minus already.

    The multiplayer feels lazy and it has a lot of recycled content like half of the specialists in this game is recycle from black ops 3 and most "new" content they add to this game are recycled.

    The multiplayer feels lazy and it has a lot of recycled content like half of the specialists in this game is recycle from black ops 3 and most "new" content they add to this game are recycled. The multiplayer gets boring and the guns are not fun to use. The new maps are mediocre at best and it has recycled maps aswell as launch content which is really lazy. They added supplydrops to this game aswell which is horrible tbh. Before this game launched they promised a lot of new content but so far it is probably the least updated one in the franchise. The microtransactions is horrible. They sold a regular red dot for $1 and a $30 melee weapon.

    Zombies i can't speak too much on because i haven't played it but what i've played of it it just feels way too complexed but there are one fun map called IX but overall a mediocre experience.

    Blackout is probably the best part of the game but still not worth paying $60 for. The blackout map is good and has a lot of fun desinations but it's not too fun to play alone. Killing people in blackout is satisfying aswell and it makes good sound when you kill someone with a headshot. Blackout overall can be fun but not worth buying for $60.

    Multiplayer - 2.5/10
    Zombies - 3/10
    Blackout - 5.5/10
    Singleplayer content - 1.5/10

    So after some maths i give this game a 3/10. Very very mediocre game and definetly the worst in the franchise imo. I know there's rumors out there that Treyarch had to scrap their original idea and that's why there's just recycled and lazy content but still. Activision should really let their studios have an extra year to polish their game more and hopefully make a good CoD again.

    6 months in the game, and except for the Zombie mode, the game has not grasped my attention in these months.

    6 months in the game, and except for the Zombie mode, the game has not grasped my attention in these months.

    First of all, the multiplayer mode is very dull and repetitive. The variation between guns in similar classes are not very distinguishable and they all feel the same. The maps are (of course) the same three-lane maps we are used to in CoD, but except for the remastered ones, they have no height differences, no power spots and little variation. The 'specialist' features and the new equipment method feel very unnatural and seem to only fasten up the gameplay rather than help the tactical gameplay, something I enjoy from CoD games, even if the maps are a bit repetitive

    As I am not a regular Battle Royale player, I wanted to hop in Blackout to experience what the fuzz was all about. Although I enjoyed how the map looked and how the different areas are connected, I did not enjoy the mere chaos and tornado of guns, equipment, attachments, vehicles, collectables etc. that are scattered around the map. The randomness of these things made it very hard sometimes to put up a fight with others who had a little bit more luck finding useful stuff. The bad loading of textures sometimes also did not help, as it sometimes blocked my view from enemies. Maybe these are very common issues for beginning Battle Royale players, but it makes it hard to invest time in a mode if I do not enjoy it.

    I don't even want to talk about the Black Market. I know why it is in the game, but I can not see these microtransactions succeeding, as I think that few to no players buy CoD points to actually buy that kind of crap. The core playerbase has shrunk drastically and not a lot of people play it for hours a day to actually care about reticles and camos if you have to buy these things.

    One thing I actually enjoyed was the Zombies Mode. I have been a fan of Zombies for a long time, but have not picked it up in a while. Even though it was a bit different at first, I have come to enjoy the maps and the variations in classes, perks, guns, elixers, equipment and special weapons you can deploy to suit you own game style. However, I think that the core 'survival' gameplay that the Zombie mode had created, has been fully replaced by the 'do a lot of challenges' gameplay. Getting to round 15-20 without doing challenges in Zombies is easier than ever, while in other Treyarch CoDs getting to these rounds was always a fair challenge. Artificial difficulty have been created in the maps by including a lot of different challenges that make you feel that you sort of 'progress' through the map. The Gauntlets and the display of Easter Egg completions are the ultimate example of how the 'challenges' gameplay has become the dominant force in Zombies. If this is a good or bad thing, I leave it up to the reader.

    To end at a positive note, I think that the size of the content that is available in the game should be the standard of AAA games. Even though the execution of this content lacks a lot of polishing and enjoyment, there is a lot to try and accomplish (like the 100% completion and Dark Matter challenge) that can make a game challenging and fun. The drop of the single player campaign was not really a bad move, as it possibly would have ended up as a boring and confusing story as in BO3. The replacement of the campaign with a Battle Royale mode, that can offer almost unlimited re-playability, challenging teamwork and draw people from Fortnite to BO4, was maybe the smartest move. However, the execution of it was poorly done.

    I think this is going to be one of the last years of CoD. Activision has destroyed its own franchise with the $60 price tag, the $50 Black Ops Pass and the microtransactions. Because the lifespan of CoD is still only 1 year, few people are going to invest the money and time that is necessary to get the full experience out of the game. I am not determined to buy any CoD anymore if it does not contain Treyarch Zombies in it. Even then, I would have to think about it, as $110 is a lot for a game that you only enjoy for one-third.

    The game plays well, time of death isn't really an issue anymore.
    However... The micro transactions are appalling to say the least. You know have to spend your cash to have the privilege of grinding through tiers....or spend even more money skipping tiers. Its pathetic.
    Also, the menus are awful, from create a class to combat record, it's so bad! They are laggy and aren't smooth at all.

    This game is a joke. Hardly any content. Literal copy and paste of the previous games. No effort except by Activision to pay off the critics to give it good reviews. This exemplifies everything that's wrong with the gaming industry. Microtransactions are atrocious. It's like selling you a book and asking you to pay more for Chapter 2. No campaign. Repetitive. Literally buy anything else.

    Pathetic game. Save your money and just go back to Black Ops II and Black Ops III

    To make things simple Black Ops 4 is best described as a step backward. But not entirely in a bad sense. The game feels more like the older games without the wall running and all the weird stuff like space combat and such.

It is more about core gameplay modes, about "that" feel and pace and that step backward seems right to me. I get that some players might not like it, and that some think there's still too much sci-fi going on. I like it. I do miss a single-player campaign though, which has been sacrificed for the focus of online multiplayer, which is what this game is all about. It's still character-based abilities with a familiar customisation of weapons and gadgets. The maps are all really good and updates keep coming. You get cosmetics like skins, camouflage and stickers by normal gameplay progress, as long as events are up, and most look really good. It's a solid buy which you at least should get at a seasonal discount at this point, especially if you and your friends plan on getting something new to play.

    I'm not a hardcore try hard player, but I've been playing most of these games, and Black Ops 4 is breath of fresh air. Not the sensation of that time when we all played Modern Warfare 2, but a nod towards that time saying "Ok, yeah we're stepping back a bit to resemble that". I found it easier to play as a senior player too, maybe because of the exclusion of wall-running and all that, but also because of how you still can get top Killstreaks with a little bit of luck and good effort. So, if you liked the old games, this flirts with you.

    (Also, there's Blackout. Which is a battle royale setup. I've only played it a handfull of times and twas a new experience for me. Quite fun. I haven't played much Fortnite, PUBG or whatever so I can't compare that much, but from what I hear through my friends they really like it by comparison. My review here aims towards the core gameplay, playing mostly Domination, Team Deathmatch and the usual stuff.)

But I can't find myself playing this game, like ever. From the beginning, zombies had so much promised DAY 1 content that took months to make it into the game, and some is still not even in. Firstly, zombies was going to get factions and callings which were supposed to be interesting incentives to play daily. Where as WW2's callings gave exclusive rewards and even special weapon variants, bo4's system offers xp. Sad. Especially because they came in 5 months after they were supposed to be. Zombies is still missing a free map (nuketown) and a mode (grief). Both of which were talked about arriving in January I believe? And finally, zombies was in beta for 2 or 3 months. Crashes everytime you got close to round 20, sometimes earlier if you were in a party. Black ops 4 was supposed to have the most competitive multiplayer as well with the higher health and smaller teams. Too bad ranked play was also 5 months late killing off any chance this game had of actually being competitive. A big trend you'll notice is that all content is coming out way too late.

    Except for the battlepass cause that brings money into activision's pockets . So a full price AAA game + the very expensive season pass doesn't even get you everything? Theres still cosmetics that go for 20ish dollars? The game really has the worst and most aggressive microtransactions I've ever seen, but add in the fact that its a AAA game that launched completely broken and unfinished.

You could tell when it was first released that many things were overpowered and needed to be nerfed, but just recently Treyarch and the other devs listened and made a huge update that fixed many of the problems.
    My favorite game mode right now is gun game and it's truly great and reminds me a lot of Bo3. Though Bo4 did try to implement something new - "blackout" so far i have mixed opinions, it can be very fun but things like looting bags (how long it takes) and frame rate dips need to be addressed, it's clear it does need a bit of polishing.

It is unbelievable to me how i can be shooting someone who is not facing me and they turn around and kill me. Also the jumping around like a spider monkey is absolutely ridiculous. For a minute i thought players had some special ability that allowed them to jump so high. Jumping also causes the person shooting to hit them in the leg area which reduces the damage taken by the person even if you were shooting them first. I really enjoyed ww2 and every other call of duty with the exception of advanced and infinite warfare due to the exo suts. I cannot even enjoy playing multiplayer on this game.

    Blackout is my first battle royale and although I like how this one plays, it is plagued with cancerous players that sissy-camp every single building with a shotgun. It gets very boring for someone that is not interested in the Royale genre.

    The DLC/Microtransactions have been the worst I have ever seen, literally emulating the fortnite system.

    There are no ways to attain weapons you have missed from previous seasons (SWAT RFT)
    and they milk every penny from you - I don't know why because they cut the meat from the game - CAMPAIGN mode.

    This does not deserve the black ops title either. Nothing here is black ops. It is siege/fortnite/overwatch.

    If you buy this unfinished alpha, you say to activision that you give them permission to remove story mode from all games.

    Imagine if spyro reignited came out later - it'd be a battle royale without any story.

    The multiplayer is the usual overly fast-paced generic garbage, if you're easily entertained by explosions, fast movement, and loud noises you will love it, otherwise don't bother.

    Vehicles in Battle Royale is one of the worst ideas ever, it's bad enough you can be run over by them, now you give the vehicles turrets?

    Teammates are uncooperative for the most part, many times even a threat.

    Hitboxes are garbage.

    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.
