    If the call of duty franchise needed a colonic this is where you would stick the tube.

    First off, why is this called black ops 4? it shares virtually nothing with the previous entries apart from the specialist system which makes a return from the 3rd game and one of the zombies story lines. Besides this the multiplayer which is the bread an butter of any COD game is just all wrong.    If the call of duty franchise needed a colonic this is where you would stick the tube.

    First off, why is this called black ops 4? it shares virtually nothing with the previous entries apart from the specialist system which makes a return from the 3rd game and one of the zombies story lines.

    Besides this the multiplayer which is the bread an butter of any COD game is just all wrong. While this game was in development someone in a meeting room stood up and suggested that they should tamper with the TTK (Time to kill) which is basically how much damage a player takes before they die, which in the core playlists was as perfect as it could be in my opinion, and instead of throwing pens at him, they said 'Hmmm good idea'. This ruins the core playlists for me so i played the rest of my games in hardcore which is still the same as the previous games. The weapon customization also has a few oddities, for example: in previous games you can equip a lethal grenade and/or tactical which has been replaced by the new specialist gear, which is fine but what is annoying is that it forces you to unlock traditional equipment by achieving a certain level. why would i equip a flash grenade when i can use a 9 bang? or a grenade when i can use battery's specialist grenade?

    But the biggest issue by a mile is the micro-transaction system which is so absurd i cant believe practices like this are still legal. First you had their version of fortnite's battlepass system (Fortnite is free to play in case you forgot) which asks you to grind 100+ levels to unlock content you have already bought and my god is the grind is just moronic. I have put 60 hours into the game in various modes and i never even reached halfway on any of the 'seasons'. and then there is their lootbox system which conveniently came out a safe enough distance after launch to avoid making it into reviews. what can i say about this issue that has not already been said? if you employ a lootbox system in a game, it spoils it, simple as that. As soon as i see lootboxes in a game i know each aspect of that game will attempt to annoy me into buying their ridicules RNG 'reward' systems by either locking the best content you have already paid for behind additional pay walls or by forcing you into an excessive grind in order to access them. They may be optional but it impacts the entire game.

    As for black out, it is about £50 too expensive, why would i not simply play fortnite or the very promising apex legends which costs £0? Maybe its because it shares the worst aspects of both games, it has fortnite's battlepass system and apex's lootboxes. I cannot comprehend why activation did not make blackout a separate free to play experience. Simply baffling.

    Zombies is back but not quite how it was, there is a new slightly confusing perk system and the removal of Juggernaut *RIP*,the maps shipped with the game are actually very good, you have a remake of mob of the dead from black ops 2 with the original crew, and a new storyline and crew which appear on 2 additional maps, one on a titanic style ship and the other in an ancient Rome style gladiator arena. Zombies is really the only redeeming feature here and worth a look once the game goes on sale.

    I wont mention the DLC because 1. not all of it is out yet 2. i refused to pay for the season pass so i cant play any of it even if i wanted to.

    This feels like a free to play game and a bad one at that, multiplayer has been ruined, the maps have been taken from the recycling bins of much better entries and everything that made the old classics fun has been corrupted or discarded. The only reason this has not scored a 1 or 2 is the average experience of the multiplayer on hardcore play lists and the zombies mode.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It is ridiculous that the producers only let us have solo ambush for one day. They should keep ambush on the PS4 console it's unfair to the gamers that work during the week to not even be able to play ambush before it gets taken off. It upsets me so much, I would love to be able to play ambush again. Please think about putting ambush back up on the PS4 platform. A lot of my friends are also disappointed, but I would much rather have quads ambush than solo ambush, please acknowledge me and my friends would love to be able to play this amazing game mode again. Thanks and have a blessed day!… Expand

    I don't play battle royale. But I play multiplayer. This game is fool of random death from bombs, choppers and stuff like that. There is no game mode 6 vs 6 without anything. Matchmaking is absolutely horrible: cant pick mode, map and skill balance. If you lvl1 you might get in game with 200lvl guys. Fix it.

My reasons why Black Ops 4 is N O T fun

    1. no skills based matchmaking. Love been demolished by 12 yr olds who spend every waking moment playing this game? Do you have a life and can't put 4-5 hours a day getting better? Treyarch gives the big middle finger to any casual fans of the series and bends over to the small top % of die hard 'gamers' who live this game.

    2. Yes the Sniper rifle is over powered and quickscoping is still a problem. Its the same Noob cannon that it has always been

    3. Yes the game punishes you if your team isn't filled with pros with kill streaks that will make you want to throw your controller against the wall.

    4. Idiotic specialist ability unbalance the game to the extreme. A dog that can take multiple headshots, but bites you in the ankle and you are dead! An invulnerable shield that you can only run from... oh and don't forget the trusty noob tube.

    5. The worst spawning in the entire series. If you love to get spawn camped by snipers before you can move, this game is for you!

    6. Terrible maps. Even the best maps are barely tolerable and most are painfully bad.

    7. Lag, bad servers and a very poorly optimized engine cause huge problems.

    8. A much faster based 'twitch' shooter that only caters to the top players.

    See all the great reviews by the professional reviewers? Perhaps it is because they are being funded by activision. Now look at the user reviews. 4.4? Thats pretty generous.

    this game is not for single player or offline play, and not for beginners or casual gamers...

    the graphics look good, the controls handle well, and there are tons of customization options, but it still feels disappointing...

    while some games have too much hand-holding, this game has no hand-holding, and very vague tutorials; even for a veteran gamer it is a bit confusing getting into your first mission...

    a few modes to choose from with little-to-no explanation, and a few locked modes also with no description what they are or why they are locked leads to trial by fire, and quick, confusing deaths - especially if you try to jump into online multiplayer...

    the closest thing to single player, Zombies, has a Resident Evil meets Left 4 Dead feel to it, but even on Casual is pretty difficult and confusing... why i would run out of ammo so fast and have no idea what my objective was, on easy mode, is beyond me...

    after some online research i found out i had to earn points to open doors (point-gates), to get artifacts, to unlock more point-gates, rinse-repeat; and points i earn also unleash new waves of zombies, upping the difficulty…

    only by looking online did i find out that i could add AI teammates, called Bots, to my squad; adding Bots only seems to complicate things more, even though the Bots have pretty competent AI, you cannot command them in any way at all, they are liable to steal your kills/points and may or may not open doors for you, but they will definitely raise the wave difficulty fast, potentially leading you to quicker deaths...

    Zombies only starts with three maps: Titanic, Alcatraz, and Roman Coliseum... Titanic offers some exploration, but feels limited fast; the Coliseum is immediately claustrophobic and annoying, this type of level design really doesn't belong in a shooter, if it wasn't confined enough, walls of flames lock you into close quarters with dozens of zombies and limited ammo almost immediately, baffling considering melee combat is so limited; Alcatraz looks good and provides some room for exploration, but is also frustratingly linear, repetitive and overwhelming...

    my few attempts to join online multiplayer took quite a bit of settings guess-work, loading and holding screens (15 minutes) only to be instantly killed over and over (within 30 seconds or less) while i had no idea what the heck was happening, where i was supposed to go, who was on my team, who was shooting me, what was the objective, etc... i found that pretty frustrating as i'm sure did my teammates, whoever they were...

    i am not completely incompetent at shooters; i've completed Doom, Destiny, Wolfenstein, Battlefield, previous CoD's; but man, getting online here is just instant death and frustration; not motivated to figure out what went wrong, why, or how to improve....

    you can tell a lot of work went into this game, but it seems like it was trying to appeal exclusively to multiplayer online shooter savvy gamers so much that it leaves any newcomers or solo players completely left out; it is customizable, modal, and online-centric to a fault: it's hard to find a fun entry point or any sense of direction as a casual gamer looking for a story or campaign...

    comparatively, i really enjoyed the single player campaign of the last Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare; unfortunately this new CoD is clearly not meant for gamers like me, nothing like that experience can be found here...

    i just kind of don't care if i never play this again after one frustrating night, no wonder the price dropped to $39 so fast..

    anyone looking for a fun, single-player shooter, i could easily recommend recent Doom, Wolfenstein, Resident Evil releases over this    … Expand

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.

    Multiplayer has NO skill based matchmaking and is a smoking hot mess. What the actual ****
    How does Activision expect to entice new players into their IP when the MAJOR SELLING POINT, the multiplayer, is so unbalanced for new players the experience isn't even fun? In my first 5-10 matches online, I was the ONLY player not prestiged and under level 30 (to be precise, I was LEVEL ONE.) That means I have no create-a-class, no experience with any weapons, no experience with any of the maps, and no experience with game mechanics other than how to point and shoot my **** gun (WITH NO USEFUL ATTACHMENTS).

    Spawns are still broken, a remnant of distress from my MW2 days, where you undoubtedly will be killed not because of your skill level, but because the game spawned you with an enemy within 10ft.

    I'm not sure if this is a valid complaint, but from my memory I seem to recall there being a larger assortment of weapons to choose from in previous entries, from what I can tell each type of weapon has about four unlocks and only around 4-5 types of gun per primary and secondary.

    As a side note, Activision needs to start taking into account the wide base of players they have. In their demographic exists a wide variety of player types, and many of them play every CoD game they release. When you pair these incredibly skilled players with the less experienced players that don't play as often, you just end up alienating a large portion of potential customers. I don't buy CoD games frequently because every time I do, my playing experience seems to be secondary to the Activision "Whales" and it's clear that Activision puts no protections in place to ensure that new players will have fun.

    If you're playinh a competitive game, you want to play with competitors at your skill level. High Schoolers don't play NFL teams. My first Black Ops 4 match shouldn't be against CoD Veterans.    … Expand

    Just to be clear, I'm a big COD fan and had high hopes for the game.
    Multiplayer Mode:
    The worst mode of all. The matchmaking process is so broken that for the 20 hours I spent with the game I had only about 5 (FIVE!!!) balanced matches. All of the matches end in one team 'duck-shooting' the enemy team players after a minute or so.

All of the matches end in one team 'duck-shooting' the enemy team players after a minute or so. I'm not saying it only because I was loosing, it worked both ways; I could not fire a single bullet and my team would win the game. There is nothing the losing team can do once an enemy team gets a battleship or attack helicopter killstreak. I'm going back to Black Ops 3 multiplayer.
    Zombie Mode:
    Zombies are ok. You have new monsters, elixirs, perks etc. You can kill some time with it, but zombies with each iteration of the franchise lose the appeal to me. Maps are so big and puzzles so difficult, that they stop being fun at all. Just treacherous and tedious shooting and running around the giant map. I wish they would go back to relatively small and really perfected maps like in Black Ops 2, were killing the hordes of zombies was really fun.

    Poor Quality for a high price game.

    For me the game feels poorly designed and rushed due to the reason to get a nip of the cake(battleroyal trend). Diffidently the last Call of duty i will buy since the last one which was the first black ops. sadly to see ones great game go down the drain.

    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]
