    People who wine about that there is no story mode should just shut it. There is a reason for taking away the story mode because very few people even start it.

    Blackout is the best battle-royale experience available today, zombies offers crazy customizable co-op, and multiplayer keeps things grounded for those looking for the classic core.

    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!

    I can't stop playing!

    Best COD since black ops 2. gameplay feels smooth and game modes keep you engaged. frankly only neckbeards care about campaign/single player because CoD has always been made for online multiplayer - get good nerds.

    I don't necessarily think this game is a 10, I do think it's an 8 or 9. I'm rating it a 10 because there are far too many disingenuous reviewers who haven't played the game and are bitter that it doesn't have a campaign. They're not writing honest reviews and, quite frankly, it's annoying. If you're not gonna buy a game, you can't review it.

They're not writing honest reviews and, quite frankly, it's annoying. If you're not gonna buy a game, you can't review it. The removal of an average single-player campaign that never stood out as good and is barely touched is not a reason for a 0.

    You review based on the quality of what's in front of you. And so far, I find the quality to be incredible. Smooth gameplay. Well-optimized. Blackout is a ton of fun. If you like battle royales and you like the smooth responsiveness of Call of Duty, you will adore Blackout. PUBG and Fortnite are fun games in their own right, but even the most avid of their fans can agree that gunplay is very meh in both games. Not to mention being third-person.

    Zombies is fresh and innovative. A new system for perks that removes overpowered crutch perks in favor of less dominant, more balanced perks across the board. Tons of room for player choice and role strategizing. The gameplay loop has evolved to something new. Plenty of people are resistant to change and don't like that. I find that the new loop is improved on the old one, which was getting stale. This is coming from a day one Zombies player and lover.

    Multiplayer is the mode I'm least excited about. Mainly just because over the years, Call of Duty has bored me. Black Ops 4 is decently fresh. A collection of maps that is larger than any game in the current console era, that includes remasters of popular maps from previous games. The map count keeps the game fresh for longer, the proven quality of the remasters keeps the entire group afloat.

    in the end, this is the most quality Call of Duty game that we've had in well over half a decade, if not longer. As always, there are always tons of people who are more interested in hating on CoD than giving it an honest try. Hell, I'm pretty sure two of the zeros below are from the same person on two accounts, because he typo'd "company" where he meant to say campaign, in both comments.    … 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.

    So many reviews don't make sense to me. I love this new COD so much. The zombie mode keeps getting better and this one just blew my mind. I love the specialists concept which was upgraded and balanced, and also the blackout mode. I'm very satisfied with BO4 and would recommend it.

    I haven't played the last few CoDs because i didn't like all the air jumping or wall running. This CoD does completely away with that and adds some good things, thank God. For MP we get some nice modes like Heist and Control... Heist is like Payday but better. It's nice because noob or not, everyone starts with the same thing.

    Then there's the battle royale mode called Blackout, which    I haven't played the last few CoDs because i didn't like all the air jumping or wall running. This CoD does completely away with that and adds some good things, thank God. For MP we get some nice modes like Heist and Control... Heist is like Payday but better.

    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.    … Expand

    It seems like I just need to add good review to compensate those dummies who dont even own the game.
    Blops 4 is well done. The MP on PC is fluid, everything worked straight of the box. Zombies are looking cool, need to dig deeper into them tho and Blackout? Possibly the beste BR game atm.

    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.    … Expand

    Im not sure why this game is getting review bombed. I've been playing cod since cod 2. This is the best the franchise has been in about 7 years.

    Blackout is a nice addition to call of duty and will evolve heavily in the next couple years. It feels and controls just as cod multiplayer always has, just on a map around the size of fortnite. Every man for himself, duos, or quads.    Im not sure why this game is getting review bombed. I've been playing cod since cod 2. This is the best the franchise has been in about 7 years.

    Blackout is a nice addition to call of duty and will evolve heavily in the next couple years. It feels and controls just as cod multiplayer always has, just on a map around the size of fortnite. Every man for himself, duos, or quads. There will be different events added often. If this even remotely sounds good, give it a shot. Its a lot of fun, but its at its best in duos or quads.

    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.

The Blackout mode is enjoyable, and while I need to spend more time with it I believe that as long as frequent updates are given to it, that it will be a good contender for Fortnite and PUBG. Multiplayer is refreshing with no more jetpacks and double jumping/wallrunning, and I believe the ability to choose when to heal is a great addition to a tactical shooter. The specialists are all relatively enjoyable to play, and while there are some that will undoubtedly be a "must pick" for a team to win, with proper balancing and practice they all have their own merit.

    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.    … Expand

So again keep in mind if you look @ all the reviews that are negative its because of no campaign which in turn revert to my 1st sentence. The multiplayer is different which some claim theres no originality? (Facepalm) Slap them because this is the only cod that you have to heal your self on your own . That there is original isnt it ?! In my honest opinion this feels like black ops 1 with black ops 2s guns black ops 3s specialista and the fact you have to be tactical to survive. A perfect mix for this franchise. 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 .

    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.

    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.

    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!    … Expand

    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.

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.

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.

    After a lot of series fatigue, Call of Duty has finally landed on it's feet.

    Until I got a PS4 and a steady group of friends to play them with, I only bought Call of Duty games for their campaigns and Zombie modes. Never bothered with multiplayer or Infinity Ward's Modern Warfare series, I was always a Treyarch guy. Less of a hardcore fan and more of a casually interested enthusiast.    After a lot of series fatigue, Call of Duty has finally landed on it's feet.

    Until I got a PS4 and a steady group of friends to play them with, I only bought Call of Duty games for their campaigns and Zombie modes. Never bothered with multiplayer or Infinity Ward's Modern Warfare series, I was always a Treyarch guy. Less of a hardcore fan and more of a casually interested enthusiast. However, for the past 4 years, I've bought every COD game from Advanced Warfare and onward. Treyarch, always reliable in their quality, has proven to be the only development team working for Activision capable of holding my interest for long periods of time with their games. I can't tell you how many hours exactly I put into Black Ops 3, but let's just say that I got to Master Prestige within a year of that game coming out. Not to mention all the wonderful Zombies content included in that game.
    Advanced Warfare was neat for a while, but I never made it past first prestige. Infinite Warfare was too much of a copy/paste of Black Ops 3, except it lacked the personality and fun factor (this is excluding their excellently done Zombies in Spaceland). WWII was great at times, but even after Prestiging three times, it didn't feel like the time put into it was worth it (especially the Nazi Zombies mode).
    For the first time in years, Call of Duty has found a way to blend new and old together to make a cohesive multiplayer experience. Multiplayer feels great. A good blend of floaty and weighty. While it's cool to see some of the past game's specialists returning, I really enjoy the new characters. Has more of a tactical feel than a lot of the past games in the series. This makes game modes like Search and Destroy have a kind of Overwatch feel. The new Heist mode is amazing. Very similar to CS:GO. Zombies has changed in certain areas (no Juggernog or Speed Cola makes it feel a little weird), but it's still the Treyarch zombies you know and love. Blackout, the new Battle Royale mode, feels fantastic. Even though this is their first foray into the genre, Treyarch did an excellent job at making a fun BR experience.

    I highly recommend this game to anyone that's ever loved a Call of Duty game. It feels like they put a lot of love and care into designing this game. While they're not in the game at the moment, lootboxes will be returning, so be prepared for some RNG **** with weapon drops and what not. Also, while the content in Multiplayer more than makes up for it, I still wish Treyarch had some sort of single player campaign. That's really the only negatives I have about this game.    … Expand

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.

    One, two, three... no, this is the fifteenth Call of Duty. 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 theOne, two, three... no, this is the fifteenth Call of Duty. 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.    … Expand

    Secondly... there is NO WAY this game deserves a 0, if its not YOUR type of game, DO NOT REVEIW. Its that simple, im not a fan of final fantasy... couldnt get into it, why would i reveiw it???

    I understand bo4 have taken a different approach, but you know what, i havent played a cod campaign since bo1, lets be honest multiplayer zombies have been the hit, not campaign.

    Lastly, lets get to the actual game... im not a big fan of the future stuff like the powerups and slams and stuff, so simply i just focus on zombies (which are always good to play)
    And.... the new blackout br, what can i say, finally a game that ive been waiting for, its almost a perfect game, what more could you ask for, and the whole point of the mode is to survive till the end, who cares if you dont see anyone until the last 10 players left, i love the mode and for me thats all i be playn.

    Now getting onto the price of the game, i got it for $60au what the hell do yous expect, its a aaa game, new release, i bet most you reveiwers that gave crap score because of price and content have almost cirtainly PAID MONEY TO BUY VBUCKS ON FORTNITE for skins that (MAKE YOU LOOK DIFFERENT) im sorry but thats rubbish, so whos the money grabbers???

    On conclusion to my ramble, i will say this game gets a 9 atm, and hopefully they tinker and change the br map every now and then, and mix up some things, then the last point will be added ;) all you reveiwers **** about other crap, please think about what your saying, do t drag the score down because you dont like the game...

    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.

    Multiplayer feels like a top-tier Treyarch MP experience, and zombies is always a blast with friends. It is not a perfect game, but it is certainly worthy of $60 (I ended up paying $100 for the Deluxe Edition with season pass, and I do NOT regret it.)

    First let me start by saying all the user negative reviews have three things in common. They all complain about no story or campaign. Call of Duty hasn't ever been known for the campaign and they really have never been good for that fact, at least since MW2. Look at Rainbow Six Siege and tell me you need a campaign for a good game. Second they absolutely lack any true criticism otherFirst let me start by saying all the user negative reviews have three things in common. They all complain about no story or campaign. Call of Duty hasn't ever been known for the campaign and they really have never been good for that fact, at least since MW2. Look at Rainbow Six Siege and tell me you need a campaign for a good game. Second they absolutely lack any true criticism other than: "So overrated. Why so much hype?", "completely online awful game!". This is most likely due to people that actually never bought the game. They are just worried that because this game doesn't have a solo campaign that it will push other devs to stray away from them. Lastly the monetization after the 60 dollar price tag. Which I practically agree with, we don't need loot boxes or any MTX in a 60 dollar game. Let the free games or cheaper games do that. Although this is where all games are at now. Single player games like Assassins Creed odyssey literally have pay-to-not-pay MTX, Boosters and just straight buying equipment. So I will treat all games the same now based on MTX.

    Now Call of Duty Black ops 4 as it stands is a very content fulled experience. Multiple different modes are set in place to compensate for the lack of campaign. 3 zombie maps, an entire BR mode and all the multiplayer versus modes. Anyone that says they don't have a lot of content in this mode is blatantly lying or misinformed because they haven't actually played the game. Blackout BR mode is practically a stand alone game that i would hands down pay 30 dollars for. A very fast paced and polished mode. Im not going to go in depth of on the modes but try just giving you the facts. Now the Multiplayer mode has two new modes and all the classic modes. You might say two isn't a lot but the other modes are great and fix something if its not broken. They have changed a lot and added some new stuff. Healing is now the here instead of regeneration of health which adds more tactical approach. Thrust jumping and wall running is gone but still has a very fast paced gameplay. Now I haven't actually played zombies yet. But It looks very in-depth and they have multiple modes and maps to choose from.

    Don't let other people confuse you on this game, do your own research on the game by watching gameplay. If you are only interested in solo stuff, this might not be for you. Though they have a little bit of story and solo stuff with the specialist characters. You can easily get 100s of hours out of this game. Get bored of close quarters versus, move to the huge long range combat of BR. Getting tired of player vs player, move over to the zombies mode or the Specialist headquarters mode. Well worth the 60 dollar price tag.    … Expand

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

    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]
