    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

    All people are doing is whining over the fact that there is no story mode even though nobody ever played story mode in the previous titles. This game isn't even that bad and I still have lots of fun playing online.

    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.

    No campaign-no sense. The lore of the game is sh*t, same with the gameplay, bots on zombies mode are stupid, I don't even consider this a call of duty game.

    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 ****

    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.    … Expand

    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.

    Multiplayer is mixed for me. Specialists are more broken than how they were in BO3. Prophet, Firebreak, Ajax and Torque are meant for people who aren't good at the game, as their weapon mechanics are to benefit newbie players by stunning them, giving them a shield or allowing them to camp. And they're perhaps the most used specialists in the game

    I also really don't like the 150 health system, as it feels like i have to empty a whole clip into someone. It's the reason i use rapid fire on all my weapons, but whoops! Its like with every gun, they just picked the attachments out of a hat and called it a day. People argue its to benefit how the weapon performs, but how fair is it that an AR like the KN57 has Rapid Fire, but not the ICR-7? Or why can't i dual wield the Strife but i can dual wield the Saug 9mm? Or why can't i have a bayonet on the Rampart 17 but it's on the VAPR? It's all unorthodox.

    Also, the battle pass system...let's keep it, please? Oh, but they still need to make up for the crappy BR mode so we'll add supply drops for the 6th time in a row along with COD Points!

    Zombies is where most of my complaints lie.

    I. Did not. Like. The new perk system. That, along with the create-a-class is just to help out new players, when the previous 4 Treyarch titles had none of that, and it all worked perfectly fine. Half of the new perks are really just filler since they can't sit down and actually come up with something unique, or they couldn't be bothered to bring back older perks that never got a chance (cough Vulture Aid cough Tombstone cough). This was done because "It removes crutch perks". On a technicality, all the perks are crutch because someone depends on Timeslip or Blaze Phase or Stamin-Up. Removing the original perks was a bad move, especially since the Double Tap effect is at it's best when you Pack-A-Punch a weapon 5, count 'em, 5 TIMES....to have it at it's fullest potential.

    Also, the fact you have to pay for a shield, while price rises with each purchase is utterly absurd. A free shield? Nah fam, pay for the damn thing.

    Half the maps are remasters, specifically remasters of Mob of the Dead, Nuketown, Five and Call of the Dead. I understand, some of these maps have a significance in the Aether storyline, but i would still prefer new locations. Chaos is nothing more than a attempt to avoid properly wrapping up the Aether story. I didn't find it interesting at all, despite the maps IX and Ancient Evil being pretty damn good, too good. Voyage of Despair and Dead of the Night didn't have that same consistency when it came to quality, and are hot messes of over complicated features and janky map design.

    The remastered maps stay true to what the original maps had, with some locations on said maps being removed, changed or new ones being added. That didn't justify that it's literally all just re-used assets on a newer engine with no improvement in the quality. At some points, the maps they're re-imagining look better than the re-imagined version.

    The ending for the Aether story did give me a sense of completion, the story is wrapped up. How they executed the ending, i wasn't happy. Playing as the Victis/Tranzit crew on the 4th map remaster with no true final battle just saddens me. Treyarch hyped the ending up to be this final showdown with Dr. Monty and possibly the Shadowman again, except we just got, as i told many before: just another Zombies map.

    BO4 is not the worst COD, but it's definitely the worst Black Ops title. It's an interesting experience to say the least, but i still find myself playing older Black Ops games, specifically BO3 as it's considered the fan favorite.

    If you feel its not worth the money, don't buy it. I just hope Treyarch can see that they need to do better if they want to have another successful title.    … 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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Let me just start off by saying if i had to rate this game out of 10 i would definitely give it a 9. I wouldn't say it is the best Call of Duty Black Ops, because black ops 2 will forever be the best Call of Duty ever. Although black ops 4 is up there, it's just not quite there. I want to start off with the bad things about the game that i don’t like or things that i would change. First I am very disappointed that there is no campaign, that was something I looked forward to in every single call of duty and for it to not be in this one I was a little upset. I am also not a very big fan of the weapons in the game, I prefer the weapons from like black ops 2 and 3 especially the snipers from those games. Other than those small things I do really enjoy the game and I would recommend it to everyone that likes playing video games, and i'm going to tell you why. First thing is I absolutely love the maps in the game, they all have the main spot where all the action is and I love that and think it's great to get a lot of kills. Next thing I want to say is I absolutely love how there is a battle royale mode in the game. I think this is perfect for the game because everyone loves fortnite and want a game like that and they did a great job putting that in the game and making it so fun to play. Another thing I really enjoy about the game is how they have cool reactive camos, and I'm so happy that they added the weapon accessories and the death effects. For the accessories you can win these little things that hang off the side of your gun from the black market and they have all sorts of things to put on there. I think they did a great job with adding the thing where whenever you level up you get a reward, so it is kind of like the battle pass from fortnite and there are some good rewards you can get too. Now there are a couple reasons why i would recommend this game to almost everyone that plays video games, and the first being it's simple and easy to play. My 5 year old sister can pick up the controller and play the game. It's just too easy, I don't understand how some people are bad at the game. All you have to do is point the gun and shoot, not that hard. Another reason I think everyone should get this game is because if you don't like the multiplayer version then you have other options, zombies and the battle royale version. I play zombies almost everyday and let me tell you it is so fun and I could sit there all day and play the game. You could also play local multiplayer which means that you are playing against bots and not real people so that is fun to just mess around and kill a bunch of bots. Overall I think it is a great game and I would recommend it to everyone that likes shooting games. I think it is a great game for all ages. I also think that the battle royale version is better than fortnite.… Expand

    Black Ops 4 is an uninspired generic first-person shooter. The multiplayer is mediocre at best with small 3 lane maps and recycled maps from older Black Ops games. The battle royale mode Blackout is okay but nothing special. This game isn't bad, just bland, generic and uninspired.

    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.
