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.

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.

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

    Call of Duty Black Ops 4 has exceeded my expectations this time, smooth gameplay with good game mechanics, i am getting 60+ fps on Gtx 970, It's a must buy game. and as a Battle Royal Enthusiast i must say this is the best BR game i have ever played till date.

    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.

    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.

    I don't want to talk about battle-royale, personally don't like this genre, but everybody just telling me that is the best on market, maybe yes maybe not.
    And the last part multiplayer. I've played WW2 and i can said that BO4 is too different. Another sound, shooting mechanic, class system (IT IS NOT TAKEN FROM OVERWATCH, DON'T FORGET THAT TREYARCH HELPED BLIZZARD TO CREATE OVERWATCH), and many other things. It is not DLC for BO3, it's completely another game with cool ideas and mechanics.

    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.

    Campaign has finally been stripped away. Cods campaigns have been soulless for years now. Tacked on 6 hour story mode with bad a.i. This seems to be the problem with all the negative reviews. Don't mind them. There are 3 modes.

    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.

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 . Better than h1z1 better than pubg but not graphic wise it is toned down but its been flawless.

    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.

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. Try it out.

    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.

    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.

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.

    Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 is not a 1. Not even close.

    I'm not the biggest COD fan, I admit. I would honestly give this game a 7 or 7.5. All of its modes are always fun to play, whether it be blackout, multiplayer, or zombies. But I do find myself getting tired of playing them rather quickly, as some modes get repetitive. 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.

    This is the first cod game i've played seriously since Black Ops 2 and I am absolutely loving this game so far. Definitely gonna play the **** out of this game for the next year (unless RDR2 eats my life away).

    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.

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.
    So, if you haven't played BO4, but you like R6S, Overwatch, older parts of COD or good Battle royal, be sure this game you'll definitely like

    To make things simple Black Ops 4 is best described as a step backward. But not entirely in a bad sense. The game feels more like the older games without the wall running and all the weird stuff like space combat and such.

It is more about core gameplay modes, about "that" feel and pace and that step backward seems right to me. I get that some players might not like it, and that some think there's still too much sci-fi going on. I like it. I do miss a single-player campaign though, which has been sacrificed for the focus of online multiplayer, which is what this game is all about. It's still character-based abilities with a familiar customisation of weapons and gadgets. The maps are all really good and updates keep coming. You get cosmetics like skins, camouflage and stickers by normal gameplay progress, as long as events are up, and most look really good. It's a solid buy which you at least should get at a seasonal discount at this point, especially if you and your friends plan on getting something new to play.

    I'm not a hardcore try hard player, but I've been playing most of these games, and Black Ops 4 is breath of fresh air. Not the sensation of that time when we all played Modern Warfare 2, but a nod towards that time saying "Ok, yeah we're stepping back a bit to resemble that". I found it easier to play as a senior player too, maybe because of the exclusion of wall-running and all that, but also because of how you still can get top Killstreaks with a little bit of luck and good effort. So, if you liked the old games, this flirts with you.

    (Also, there's Blackout. Which is a battle royale setup. I've only played it a handfull of times and twas a new experience for me. Quite fun. I haven't played much Fortnite, PUBG or whatever so I can't compare that much, but from what I hear through my friends they really like it by comparison. My review here aims towards the core gameplay, playing mostly Domination, Team Deathmatch and the usual stuff.)

Although the game does not include a single player campaign, there is a mode called Specialist HQ that is basically a tutorial for each specialist with each having a backstory.

    I personally didn't play much of the previous Zombies, but based on other sites, it looks like they've beefed it up considerably with more play styles, 2 storylines, and 3 maps.

    Finally there is Blackout which is very similar to PUBG, but stable. They've added perks (time limited when in use) to find as well. The map includes locations of previous COD games. They've also got a fun area with zombies that they threw into the mix. The additions work quite well and doesn't take away from the Battle Royale experience.

    As with any new game, there are some tweaks that need to be made. Bad respawns in multiplayer. The base game is the standard $60, but I spent $100 for the deluxe digital edition. I also had to purchase Playstation Plus. So be prepared to spend some money at the get go if this is your first go around with COD.

    I haven't seen a DLC ever worth the $30/$40, and my expectations are low for BO4 to be any different. If Treyarch is going to join the Battle Royale realm, I expect consistent content updates similar to Fortnite. But as I've said, my expectations are low.

    If you are a fan of multiplayer gaming, you'll enjoy this game. $60 is ok to spend on this especially if you don't typically play with friends. If you do, then expect to put money down for the DLC as well unless you expect all your friends to never go beyond the base game. I enjoy it. I play on my own and sometimes with friends. Spending $160 (Deluxe + PS Plus) hurt, and although there is decent amount of content on the DLC, I hope for content updates for all players for at least Blackout. Hoping for the best, but expecting the worst.

The zombies is really good and a lot of fun. The titanic map is a personal favorite. The blackout is actually really fun and in my opinion is much better than fortnite and PUBG because the games are shorter in length and it is more action packed than the other battle royale games. This however does not excuse the fact that their is no campaign. The constant jumping by players in multiplayer can be infuriating. The multiplayer needs more game modes and playlists. The heist and control modes are "newest" modes but these are literally CSGO and overwatch rip-offs. If i bought this game for 40$ this game would be more like 7 or 8 out of 10, but for a fully priced triple A i expected more and better.

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.

Treyarch is back at it again with their fourth addition to their Black Ops series which started in late 2010. Treyarch has turned the tables in hopes for a bright future, being the first ever Call of Duty to not feature a campaign mode. This is essentially the “story mode” that players often play alone for a single player experience. Treyarch has decided to completely ditch this and offer three different multiplayer options. This includes Multiplayer, Zombies and the newest installment, Blackout. The large leap of faith in order to save what is left of the dying franchise was extremely successful. They have pleasantly surprised long-time fans while also bringing in millions of new supporters. Black Ops 4 has made history with outselling every other previous Call of Duty regarding digital copies on release date. The amount of features this game includes is too hard to ignore. It is never too late to become a fan of this series because of the adaptive and responsive design company that is Treyarch. The future is bright for Call of Duty. Expand

    One of the most replayable cod's ever. It has a lot of content that will always keep you busy. It might not have a campaign but it will carry you through the weekend no problem.

    The addition of supply drops is horrible but does not affect the gameplay at all.

    I have always been a hardcore fan of the Treyarch style of COD game since World at War and carrying forward to Black Ops. While initially disappointed to hear there would not be a single player campaign, the offerings provided in the multiplayer alone is well worth the price of admission.

I have never clicked with the PUBG/Fortnite style gameplay but am enjoying blackout mode.

    With all the tweaks, adjustment, fluidity, and removal of characters flying all around the screen it has honed the gameplay performance. The added feature of non-regenerating health makes it feel more tactical allowing for various maneuver, strategy, and a stronger sense of teamwork. It is not Rainbow Six: Siege levels but much more than previous installments.

    EDIT: Since the micro transaction kicked in, I have lowered my score from a 8 to a 5. I can't believe the grind for the simplest thing or paying a dollar for a single red pixel.

    UPDATE: Blitzed with micro transactions and terrible progression. They ruined a great product.
    While Blackout is good, I am in love with the MP. It is so buttery smooth, and we finally have some deviation from the 3 lane map formula that started to drive me insane in the later CODs. Heist and Control are two excellent new game types which keep it fresh as well. Its not perfect, but it's finally done something to make itself different from previous titles. A lot of the reviews mention the lack of campaign, I will get far more value out of Blackout than I would have from a campaign, so I see it as a fair trade.

I hate to say this but this game was SEVERELY hindered with boots on the ground; the specialists and boots on the ground are not as fun than in bops 3. It's almost as if this game was intended to be black ops 3, and they flip flopped iterations with 4. I mean it's literally the same specialists, with one new generic ability. and some that are score streaks in other cod... The maps are cluttered and feel like mazes, one thing all other black ops has are open maps whether medium or large. I also feel like the guns have the same blueprints as other black ops guns, they just renamed them and made them sound different.. (ak?.. skorpion like smg?). Bottomline is you've seen 75%-90% of the game before in previous iterations. I'll skip reviewing blackout, never been a fan...but..um.. campers..getting shot from behind..so yeah. And even after all that trashing, this is still a decent game, especially if you're looking for a casual multiplayer game to pour hours in that has some addictive elements. If over watch and black ops sound good to you, then this is the game for you, if you're looking for innovation to this franchise, look elsewhere. Btw... ignore all these 0's and 10's, they're clearly the vocal minority. Expand

BO4 is impressive in many ways, but to me it's all shallow window dressing catering to the leaderboard crowd. Anyway - I strongly feel that the backbone of a game should be a strong single-player campaign of reasonable length. I don't need 100 hours, or even 40. Give me 10-20 hours with good replayability, and I'm set. If you DO give me 100 hours, I'll probably play it for 200 hours. Multiplayer-only basically releases devs from having to do any kind of writing, telling any kind of story - the online players are the only feature. Not for me. Expand

    The zombies mode is quite developed but I feel it's way too messy. I miss those of World at War, simple and dark maps without too much useless complications where you really feel that dark vibe. Here it looks more like Disneyland, and that's the case for several previous CoDs as well.

    In what regards the multiplayer, it's really nothing really new nor better than before. I feel like playing Black Ops 3 without the jetpacks, in a slight worse quality actually. That being said, it's still enjoyable and I still play it regularly. I just really hate this carnival vibe with all those crazy camos and unrealistic childish things. We'll see if MW2019 does better, because it's now quite a while that CoD doesn't improve anymore.

    install from disc takes about 3 hours + updates, so it might be several hours before you are actually playing...

    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

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. In a world where people pay 25 bucks for a single pizza delivery or 15 for 1 person at a movie, I see no problem with a $100-ish game package.

    And battle royale does get boring after some time. Especially since there is only one map (it is a good map, but still - it gets repetitive).
    So if your fine forking up the price to just play the battle royale, you will probably enjoy this. But for me, ultimately it feelt like it was not worth the price. And they seem to have no plans on expanding on it either. This game should have been 30 USD, or it should have had a good singleplayer experience. Which is why I can only give it a 5/10 - it just is not worth the asking price

    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.

Don't listen to the low scores trying to sabotage user reviews. This is the highest critic reviewed CoD game we've had since MW2 for a reason.

    It's also worth noting that I'm usually pretty negative when it comes to this franchise. It hasn't been amazing for some time. Previous Black Ops games were good, but not amazing like MW1 and 2. This is back up to standard. Give this game a chance and you won't regret it.

    EDIT: I had to come back and edit this after how they nickled and dimed the playerbase. The microtransactions were horrible. My review was posted at launch and I'm back here 10-2-19 to make the change.

    I'm a long time CoD player but I'm very disappointed with BO4

    Everything about the game is so mundane, it has no personality. I'm almost through my first prestige but I couldn't name a single new map cause they're all so forgettable. The same is true for the rest of the 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]
