    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

    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

My main criticisms would be that the graphics are sub par and I would like a bit more utility with the class creation. Also the lack of campaign alienates some audiences but realistically I haven't played the campaign since black ops 2. It's a great game that drew me back to the franchise.… Expand

    I usually don't write here, but after coming back after a long break from CoD, and playing this for one night, I have to say it's the best the series has been in years.

    By far the best Call of Duty game, I've spent hours non-stop playing this game. It includes a huge variety of mods, maps, etc. The fun never ends. There are a few problems such as no crossplay, but this game is still new so we shouldn't expect much. Zombies, Multiplayer, and Blackout are ALL ADDICTIVE. Try it for yourself at 4k, it isn't #1 on Twitch for no reason!

    To me, this is quite honestly one of the best CoD experiences I've had since Modern Warfare, World at War, and Black Ops 2. Do I miss the campaign? Sure. Does Blackout make up for it? Absolutely!

    Most of the 0-3 scores I've read appear to be salty PUBG fans mad that it's better than PUBG and costs $60. I played many hours in PUBG and enjoyed it, but Blackout is a far more polished experience.

    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.)

    What a let down! So there's Blackout (which is a rip off of Fortnite), a few different types of multiplayer, and zombies... that's it. No campaign, and IMO boring multiplayer. What a waste of $60. I'm hoping I can con some other poor soul into buying it off of me on Craigslist or FB.

    Feeling like the best COD since Blops2 - Removing Campaign is a bug plus for me as i never touched it in any COD's.

    MP - Feels really smooth. Maps are 3 lanes. Surprisingly playing this more than Blackout
    BO - Easily by a mile, the best BR on the market.

    Don't play Zombies can't review it.

    You're getting 3 different modes, it honestly feels like a steal for $60.

The zombies maps that are included are some of the most complex ever made, and 3 fully fledged maps (yes, one is a previous map but has been updated with new areas added and was already a fantastic map) included with the base game is great for people who play zombies. 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. Ultimately as of right now, I would give this game most likely an 8 out of 10, but have to overcorrect for people who are lashing out due to anger.… Expand

    The main complaint about this game is no campaign. It was announced before the release that there would be NO campaign. Therefore, all these 1's and 0's hold no merit. This is probably the best ONLINE CoD since WaW. If you are looking for a single player game then this game obviously isn't for you. However, adding Blackout has given players another option to remove the monotony.

    BO4 is the COD i've had the most fun in ages! It's something new and still it feels like back in the days. And finally the Specialists really make some sense and are fun to play with. The Multiplayer is super balanced and finally your aim highly affects the outcome of your gunfights as you have more health and it also reduces the risk of being randomly killed by bad luck. It's one of the few games where i mostly account for my own faults when losing as opposed to blaming the game for it's mechanics. The only bad thing I noticed was that it seems you can sometimes still be killed when already in cover behind a wall, but that has been around in COD since a long time.
    Of course it's unfortunate that the game does not have campaign as it could have been a perfect opportunity to further extend the Black Ops storyline, but in the end it does not really matter. The Multiplayer AND Zombies is great fun, maybe it is not for everyone but for my part i really love it and therefore rate it as 9/10 cause there still might be a couple negative aspects + no campaign but Treyarch really did a good job.    … Expand

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.

I like to play with lmgs cause they have a nice kickback and sound good and of course cause i have a small dick. Guess i can go **** myself because by now people play only mp or shotgun. I can understand that its "good gameplay" if someone ambushes me and kills me with a knife. Im ok with that. But if i get melted by someone dual wielding a mp and the only way to counter is to not play guns i like, thats just annoying and bad balance.

    Anyway. It serously feels like something new in this goddamn franchise. Because while everything after ghosts seriously didnt do anything new. This game atleast tries to go in a new direction.
    Health regeneration is gone which is good because now health atleast gets a bit more tactical. Operators can now only picked by one team member which gives every operator an important role and more importance for the team. The weapons feel nice and have the right kick behind it, but there arent too many. Hopefully they add more, but it will be locked behind dlc because this is Activision.

    Zombie mode is were Treyarch keeps shining imo and while i havent played the zombie maps that much yet, i already like them.

    Listen. This is Cod. What do you expect? Change? They tried and im more then impressed, keeping in mind that ghosts, aw, iw and ww2 were complete horse s**it, this atleast doesnt stink so much. Its fun, im having fun and thats all i ask for tbh. ITs ok for a cod game.

    Still it doesnt justify trashing the campaign. I hope they just acidentally f**ed up and didnt have the time to fix it. But it probably was greed, and waht they could do.    … Expand

    Black Ops 4 as a whole offers something for everyone: competitive multiplayer, battle royale, and zombies, and that's its really only selling point is content. The game comes with 16 maps at release compared to the normal 13, three zombies maps instead of one, and of course battle royale. But, all this extra multiplayer content comes at the expense of a single player campaign.

    As for    Black Ops 4 as a whole offers something for everyone: competitive multiplayer, battle royale, and zombies, and that's its really only selling point is content. The game comes with 16 maps at release compared to the normal 13, three zombies maps instead of one, and of course battle royale. But, all this extra multiplayer content comes at the expense of a single player campaign.

    As for multiplayer, outside of a few changes to health and specialists, there's nothing new, and the changes aren't exactly for the better or may not appeal to the casual audience. The changes made such as the removal of auto health regeneration and only allowing one of each specialist per team may turn off the casual player base. Streaks are copied from previous titles with nothing new or exciting. The maps follow the same three lane design that has been overused throughout recent titles making them bland and repetitive. BO4 multiplayer does enough to separate itself from previous entries, but whether these changes are good or not have yet to be seen.

    CoD finally has battle royale, Blackout. The mode itself is well done, but it does nothing for the battle royale genre itself copying mostly from PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. It does have some unique gimmicks though to help it standout such as famous maps from previous Black Ops titles, Black Ops campaign and zombie characters, and even a few zombie locations with AI zombies that you have to deal with, but as for adding and expanding the BR genre, it does nothing special. Overall, it's an enjoyable BR experience due to its optimization and performance. Casual fans that may not have enjoyed PUBG and other hardcore BR games may enjoy Blackout far more than other hardcore battle royales while still offering a somewhat serious FPS that may pull fans away from the silly and cartoon themed Fortnite BR., but hardcore BR fans may still prefer the realism of PUBG or the uniqueness of Fortnite more. But overall, it's an enjoyable experience that you will definitely sink your time into if you are into battle royales.

    Zombies has been my favorite experience of BO4 so far. Offering the most maps at release than any other CoD, zombies is going to pull in the CoD zombies fan base hard. The mode is definitely more difficult than previous zombie modes which may turn off the casual fan base that grew in love with BO3 and IW zombies, but I welcome the challenge of bettering myself at the mode.

    CoD continues to still push the Season Pass, however, in the form of the Black Ops Pass. The Black Ops Pass offers a bonus zombies map at release in Classified which is a remake of Five from Black Ops 2 and 12 multiplayer maps, 4 less than the usual Season Pass, while still maintaining the $50 price tag. It also includes character skins for Blackout BR. If you are a zombies fan then the BOP will definitely be worth it, but fans of multiplayer are stuck with 4 less maps than usual in the least hyped mode of the game. As for Blackout fans, it only offers skins. So unless you are a zombies fan, the Black Ops Pass does not seem worth it.

    As a whole, Black Ops 4 is a decent entry into the CoD franchise. It does enough to pull in the battle royale and zombies fans, but fans of multiplayer have been given the short end of the stick with campaign fans left with nothing but specialist training missions. I give Multiplayer a 6/10, Blackout a 7/10, and zombies an 8/10 for a combined score of 7/10.    … Expand

    Black Ops 4 follows the same COD formula with exception to the new Battle Royal mode, which is an obvious rip-off of other successful battle royal games. If you don't care for campaigns and you're a big fan of the franchise, you'll probably enjoy this game. If you were hoping for something new and original, you may be a little disappointed.

    At this point it doesn't matter what Treyarch, Sledgehammer or Infinity Ward does. People will find small things to complain about then say "Ill stick to Battlefield". Battlefield hasn't done anything new or ground breaking and you can make the same argument that its the same every game. I'm pretty sure these "0" reviews are trolls who don't even play the games.

    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.

The next FPS level of innovation we'll see will probably come from ProjektCDRed's Cyberpunk... but that's an FPS-RPG.... which is totally different, but which, seeing what is happening to other franchises (namely Assassin's Creed), is probably where Blops is eventually headed. In other words - SUPER CUSTOMIZATION.

    Zombies are back in form. And Black Ops is grounded again, but due to the pace, there's this odd sensation that one is still "flying"....... or is that just me? And I spotted more than enough people jumping while shooting to know that they felt they just HAD to. Something I didn't see in WWII.

    The big deal is its own Battle Royale. It's the best there is right now, no question about it, and not just in visuals. Naturally, it is trying to become the king of BR on hardcore platforms, while leaving the mobile market to Fortnite, which is king there. And I think it may just succeed.

    Game looks good. No, it is not "just like Blops 3;" there are improvements. Go compare them side by side and you'll see. If anything, it has about the same graphics as Infinite Warfare, but better than WWII. And yeah... it's not going to look better than Battlefield 1 OR V. It can't. That game takes forever to load for good reason. This is a fast-paced game. Let's just drop the argument already. This is like arguing a luxury sedan vs a sports car.... it's stupid.

    Multiplayer is still where I spend most of my time, and for me it's a win this time around. I like that they brought back those 4 old maps, and I actually like the Blops 1 and 2 similarities of the newer maps. Someone at Treyarch has realized those games had the best maps, and they finally picked up on it.    … Expand

At the moment there are no loot boxes in the, all camos are challenge based and I hope it stays that way, I prefer challenge based progression and feel it gives the game a simpler feel to your personal player objectives over the newer games. The maps are really good, one of my biggest complaints with bo3 was the maps but bo4 has great maps that feel like old school black ops or bo2. Specialists are back, never liked them I don't feel like the things we're shooting should have much personality or individuality if they're meant to be expendable I much prefer the random grunt soldier look from bo2 or other old cods. The specialists are at least not extremely over powered as they can usually counter each other but specialists don't hold a major impact on the outcome of the match rather than your skill as a player. Black out is good, like really good. Feels like a battle royal made by cod shpuld feel. Pubg on consoles is pretty much obsolete now I'd say, black out blows it out of the water. Zombies feels weird this year but since that's treyarchs baby I'm assuming they'll fix it so I'll hold back for now on that. Overall I've hated every cod after bo2 and finally they release one that I really like. I never review games, I'm usually very harsh on cod every year when it comes out but this one has blown my expections so I figured I should review it. Don't listen to the people giving 0s for uninspiration, this cod game appeals mostly to old time players the game does a great job of bringing back that "good ol day bo1 bo2 feel"… Expand

    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

    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.
