    The single player is a really poor version of the one in rainbow six, its like 2 hours tops. In multiplayer gameplay is exactely the same that has been since mondern warfare, its only interesting part would be battle royal, and its only one map, if you are ok with paying $60 for a single map battle royal map but it, if not stay away

    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...

    Good job on blackout devs :)    … Expand

    1)El juego en su apartado multijugador no presenta algun cambio sustancial, aparte de nuevas habilidades para los especialistas, nueva forma de curarse, y..... ¿Que mas? Exacto lo mismo de siempre en lo demas, las mismas armas remasterizadas solo que con otro nombre, como la scar, la vector, etc etc, mapas bueno si¡ POR 70 DOLARES? NICAGANDO¡¡¡ los mapas estan basados en los del black ops 3 literalmente en el mapa nevado hay una zona copiada y pegada del otro mapa nevado de bo3, que ridiculos¡¡¡ y 4 mapas remasterizados que estan muy bien pero que ya los tengo quemados de otros juegos, listo, el multijugador sigue siendo divertido pero si has comprado los ultimos 5 cods no vale la pena por este apartado

    2) zombis buenos si¡¡¡ mas contenido y eso se aplaude pero nada mas, no son extraordinarios, ni tampoco vale comprarse el juego solo por este apartado porque? porque EL RESTO DE LA HISOTIRA VENDRA EN EL BLACK OPS PASS POR 50 DOLARES MAS¡¡¡¡ Asi que si quieres jugar una bunea historia pero muy incompleta es tu desicion

    3) BLACKOUT: Malisismos graficos, divertido? SI POR SUPUESTO, pero si jugaste pugb sentiras que esto esta super mal hecho, graficos de ps2 y no estoy exagerando, problemas con el sonido y sobre todo problemas de conexion aqui en america, no tiene mayor profundiad y tampoco merece que compres este juego solo por este apartado

    CONCLUSION: BLACK OPS 4 es un juego muy reciclado con graficos mediocres, donde los youtubers de siempre: SOKI, SINAPSIS, RUMI, GUIASTACTICASESP E INFUSER TE LO VENDEN COMO FRESCO, PERO EN SI NO TIENE NADA FRESCO, EL JUEGO ES DIVERTIDO? SI Y ESO HAY QUE DECIRLO SUPER ALTO EL JUEGO DIVIERTE PERO COMO PRODUCTO EN SI QUE ES LO QUE YO ANALISO ES MEDIOCRE, RECICLADO COSA QUE SE PUEDE CONSIDERAR COMO ESTAFA SI QUIERES, DEFICIENTE GRAFICAMENTE GRAFICOS DE PS2, Y QUE NO VALE NI 70 NI 50, NI 30, VALE 20 DOLARES COMO MUCHO, PERO PARA QUE TE QUIERES COMPRAR ESTE COD CUANDO EL 20 DE NOVIEMBRE SALDRA BATTEFIELD V, UN SALUDOS Y GRACIAS POR LEERME    … Expand

    Oh and it 's quite poorly optimized as well, with severe drops at times.

    I admit I haven't played a Call of Duty game since Black Ops 1 on the PS3.

Its really frustrating when you look on a kill cam to only see you shot the person in the head two times but to die from them gut shooting you to death. This alone puts it into a different genre all together. Its become a game like Overwatch except not as good. I've never been really into Battle Royal games so Blackout isn't important to me. Zombies is still what you expect which is good. The base traditional MP is way too cartoony now. I can't take it seriously when I pump half a magazine into someone and they don't die. Sure it got rid of the silly insta-regen. Only to make it more ridiculous with this bullet sponge system.… Expand

I think it's fairly well-known that Treyarch is now the king developer of CoD, and it shows. The game skips the single-player campaign and just offers some tutorial levels with all the specialists with little cut-scenes spliced here and there. CoD campaigns have just been a formality for me personally, so I wasn't affected by that choice.

    Blackout was pretty good to me. I haven't really gotten into the Battle Royal phenomena the last couple of years, but I did buy PUBG and have donated dozens of hours into Fortnite trying to force myself to liking it. The reason I give Blackout my thumbs-up is because it feels more like a legitimate shooter that both PUBG and Fortnite couldn't really do. Although I have now put in about a dozen hours into Blackout, it seems I will never fully feel passionate about a Battle Royal gamemode. It's fun every once in a while, but not why I play FPS games.

    Multiplayer is where I am conflicted. Ran into very few errors this past 6 days, other than network errors, but still ahead of most games in this league on opening week. Treyarch has completely ditched the wall-running and double-jumps, and that's how I like it. I got pretty competitive with BlOps3, so I got used to the movement there, but I now know this is what I prefer. As for the classes... meh. They really feel unfocused. To keep classes in a game like this balanced, you gotta be all in or not at all, and it felt like Treyarch went in half-way. It also feels like they are trying to add some "teamwork" and tactics in a game that is primarily a twitch-shooter. There is a game-mode like Counterstrike where you lose your abilities and just buy better guns and perks as the matches go on, but I kind of doubt there will always be a big pool of players lasting on that. Collision still seems a bit off, which makes me think this will never be a highly game for me as it's not sharp enough. But I had a good time. Just don't think I'll be playing this game at all in six months... So overall, do feel like a 7 out of 10 fits this game about right. I'll also be purchasing Battlefield V, so time will tell which one I will like more.

    I will say that buying this game on disc opening day really accentuates the growing problem with our modern physical game-copies: even with the disc, I had to download somewhere close to 90 GB over my internet connection. I imagine that size will grow as the game goes through updates. Since you can't pick what downloads first, I was only able to play Blackout that first night. I think it's almost time that physical game-copies need to start coming as some sort of solid-state drives that wouldn't require downloading the entire game to the system's SSD.    … Expand

    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.

EA has crumbled through their fans taking a stand and not buying Star Wars and Battlefield 5. Treyarch fans should take a note out of EAs book. Take off the nostalgia goggles and see that all you are buying is Black Ops III that is

    (1) Ripping off other trends to stay relevant (e.g. Fortnite, Overwatch, PUBG, Rainbow Six Siege)
    (2) Gradually reducing original content (a whopping 7 remakes this game including Season Pass content)
    (3) Still using an outdated Season Pass model whereas other developers have dropped this unethical trend
    (4) Pushing loot boxes onto a $100 game for multiple modes
    (5) Taking a mode which Fortnite did for free and charging for it
    (6) A 55gb day one patch for yet again server drops
    (7) Clear cut evidence of no money being invested into a better engine. Graphics look worse than Black Ops III (slow rendering, dull colours, poor textures), game mechanics are worse than Black Ops III (lag, bad hit detection) and so called skill based match making is shocking (joining already half finished games and being paired with the 5 worst players against the 6 best)    … Expand

    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

    The first COD I’ve liked since 4.

    It’s all about Battle Royale, which is the best one yet! I only dock it because of the lack of Single Player, I wouldn’t mind if the name was different, but carrying the Black Ops name is a bit odd.

    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]
