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

To those people I say, sorry you didn't research the game prior to buying. If you discount every one of those reviews it would raise the overall user score of this game tremendously, as it deserves.

    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

I don't know about you guys but i have not played a call of duty campaign since modern warfare 3. Not that some of the past campaigns were terrible, its just that if i wanted to play a campaign/story game i would play something like God of War or Last of Us not a story from call of duty since "war" stories get repetitive. If you bought a $60 call of duty game in the past just for its campaign then you "screwed" yourself over. Yes black ops has an overly expensive price tag but it has lots to offer through multiplayer, zombies, and blackout. I was a little hesitant at first to buy BO4 because i was not on the battle royale bandwagon (did not like building in fortnite and am old school multiplayer). After i tried multiplayer and blackout i knew I would enjoy the game more then i thought i would. I agree that it was lazy to remake old maps and count it in as the release day maps for multiplayer but the 4 maps they chose to remake had me reminiscing about past black ops games. Zombies has had my attention since the first black ops and i have only ever played black ops zombies since they are the most creative and intense zombies experience. black ops 4 zombies exceeded my expectations and they proved that they put a lot of work into the new story and gameplay. Zombies is much more customizable this time around. Difficulty settings along with other things make it so a beginner can pick up and play and not worry about being "bad" zombies player. Multiplayer is fluid and offers one of the best online shooter experiences at this time. Not once was i kicked out of a lobby or disconnected from a game, which has happened in past call of duty releases. The thing i like about the black ops franchise is that they really listen to the community. A lot of people (including myself) did not like the jetpack boosts going on in BO3 which is why BO4 stuck to boots on the ground. I also am convinced BO4 will be supported for the next 2-3 years just like BO3 was and that is a good feeling to have on a game you spent $60 on. Finally Blackout...I was very nervous about Call of Duty treading into the battle royale scene. I cant say this enough that black ops was for sure the one to pull it off. Not only did they get the battle royale formula correct but they did in a way that was fun easy to learn while keeping true to black ops gameplay. I gave the game a 8/10 for using old maps as fillers for multiplayer and that splitscreen was a disappointment since it condenses the screen and you have to squint to even see an enemy when playing on the same screen with a friend. Overall the call of duty era that included campaigns/stories are over because of the new generation of gamers today. everything is online and fast paced now which is what call of duty is adapting too. Black ops 4 offers a little bit for everyone and to those not buying a game for the lack of a campaign are missing out on a fantastic first person shooter experience.… Expand

    Blackout is the best BR imagine PUBG but polished and more fun. Multiplayer is fun and none of the specialists feels op. Zombies is okay there is just too much stuff on the screen.

    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

    People clearly don't understand what are they talking about. From the beginning Treyarch told us about singleplayer. That they won't add it. But instead I was really surprised when i saw short background story's about characters of multiplayer. Plus if you want to get good story, you can easily go to Zombie mod, and play it. It has very strong and interesting plot.

    Been a massive cod fan since the original cod. Played them all and have felt the worst ones were the more recent entries. But Bops4 changed everything.

    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.

    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. Try it out.    … Expand

    Blackout is the best BR on the market so far and I have played just about all of them. The devs are only gonna make it better with time. I have only experienced lag in a couple of matches with quads and there is very little stability issues at all so far. Guns all feel different and there are a lot of options for the secondary slots.

    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.
    Does anyone even play a campaign anymore? I haven't played one in years. I guess if that is all I came for I would be a bit disappointed like some people are.    … Expand

    Смешанные эмоции...С одной стороны нет компании для меня это колоссальный минус, в особенности когда эта игра под именем "Black ops". Также не слишком понравился батл рояль, но скорее из за жанровых особенностей, здесь он на порядок лучше чем любой другой существующий. Однако мультиплеер здесь лучше чем в любой части COD.

    Being a PUBG and BF3/4/1 fan I had no high expectations from the game. But I can't stop playing it. Blackout (Battle Royale) feels fluid and really well though through. It's really more fun than all the PUBG variations out there. Guns, tactical stuff like sticky bombs and recon drones, tempo, vehicles (helis, oh yes) it gives you much more space and creativity. Graphics are superb. IBeing a PUBG and BF3/4/1 fan I had no high expectations from the game. But I can't stop playing it. Blackout (Battle Royale) feels fluid and really well though through.

Graphics are superb. I haven't even started playing zombies. Just Control and Blackout. Treyarch combined R6 Siege / Ghost Recon / PUBG in a very smart way. Normally such all-in-one mix kills the joy and shows your lack of ideas, but not here. Great job guys, thank you! Much appreciated, really. It feels like it is created by fans and gamers. I am giving 9 out of 10. 1 I keep with me, here is why: 1) connection issues and lack of players, 2) can't go prone 3) video clips in menus instead of in-game graphics - looks 2007. Price - yes, you can argue about it, but I guess it's fair if you compare it to other recent AAA titles this one brings a very rich bundle.… Expand

    Im a 57 year old gamer , so the "older fans got screwed" or "this game is for 10 years olds" is just whiners, who just suck at the game. , and can't deal with fast reactions of multiplayer.

    Call of Duty WW2 was really bad.. like painfully bad but wow this game is really really GOOD! Safe to say the multiplayer is the best it has ever been and the new game mode control is the real star.. new healing system takes some getting used to but it adds a whole new layer of strategy to this game.

    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]
