    Feels like they put all their apples into the battle royal which made the whole thing lackluster.

Now CoD wants to copy every other thing that's popular right now; overwatch, battle royale... It's just disgusting. Guns now have recoil, players have health bars, healing is done manually, multiplayer characters have unique abilities and supers... None of this is Call of Duty. And what about the battle royale mode? It sucks! Just like every other battle royale out there! Who even asked for battle royale? Give me my story campaign back!!

    Blackout mode is just a cheap version of Battlefield. The developers promised the "best and most refined mechanics" in the trailer, yet the mechanics are terrible. You can't even destroy any buildings. This game mode lacks vehicle variety. There are no jet fighters, or any planes to be found. Zombie mode lacks innovation. The regular Multiplayer is boring and repetitive. The maps are about the same as the last game, with a fresh coat of paint.

    The worst part of this game is that it requires a 50 GB patch to play. That makes the physical copy pointless. You can play multiplayer and Zombies with bots and splitscreen offline. But what's the point of having any of that if you need Internet to play? Not everyone has good internet, and it's pathetic how anti-consumer the developers are. The CODs before WWII didn't required internet. I don't recommend this game at all. Internet required games are a disgrace    … Expand

    I want to put my 2 cents in. I can't give the game a score because I haven't played it, nor do I ever intend to.

    I own EVERY Call of Duty game ever made I think and I put so many hours into each of them, except for BO4. In all of them, I primarily played the single player campaigns (SPC) then invested a good amount of time into Zombies. I love Zombies through Black Ops 2 then they    I want to put my 2 cents in.

    I own EVERY Call of Duty game ever made I think and I put so many hours into each of them, except for BO4. In all of them, I primarily played the single player campaigns (SPC) then invested a good amount of time into Zombies. I love Zombies through Black Ops 2 then they started getting too convoluted and complicated, but I still played them through WW2 and had some fun, though I prefer to play them on older games.

    To me, here's the deal... I never got into multiplayer. I'm an older guy and have always enjoyed the adventure of a great SPC. This is true of COD, Halo, Doom, Bioshock 2, Dead Space 2, Gears of War, etc... and many more. Each of these had single player campaigns with multiplayer. For people who only play for the multiplayer, hats off to you and I hope you enjoy it! BUT... in COD, is the single player campaign a staple of the series? Of course, considering every major COD until BO4 had one, and I would play the heck out of them. 1st play through just for fun. 2nd to hit the achievements. Then I'd revisit them from time to time. I still play the World at War story at times, along with COD 2 and 3. People hated Infinity War's story mode, but I thought it was fantastic! Polished, fun, cool story... Same with Ghosts.

    Sadly, COD lost my money this year by thinking players like me don't exist in big enough numbers. Maybe they’re right based on their pointing out the low percentage of people who pick up the achievement to simply complete the campaign. I’ve not looked at every multiplayer achievement and I may be wrong, but the ones that I looked at for higher ranks in multiplayer have very low percentages as well, again at least the multiplayer achievements I’ve seen. I didn’t see anything with a real high percentage. So I wonder, why axe the SPC??

    My last thought is, if they want to axe it, why waste a Black Ops game by axing it? Black Ops had the BEST campaigns in the series! Give it another name or something! Sadly, who knows if I’ll ever see another Black Ops campaign… I hope some of the other series like the ones I listed earlier don’t follow suit. These are my thoughts, hopes and disappointments. BO4 gets a zero score for a zero desire to play it now. Shame    … Expand

    Blackout - UNPLAYABLE. Hit detection is either not working or if you're ''lucky'' it will be nothing but hit markers while you die from a few bullets from the people you are trying to shoot. You can sneak up on people and shoot them in the back and it will still be the same, they actually turn around and kill you while you are forced to reload due to using all your bullets ''shooting'' them and either getting zero hit markers or unlimited hit markers the result is the same either way.

    Multiplayer has the exact same problems as Blackout, sure it's been the same since BO2 anyway so no change there, but the one mode that always redeemed the game and never failed to deliver now finally has failed to deliver and that is Zombies.
    Zombies mode is broken as anytime you get near a high round the game crashes. Not to mention it's been 5 months and still only one new map added to the game with the ''Black ops pass'' They took out main staples of the game like JUG for example and added in a new story line which no one cares about (and they continue to make the ''DLC'' maps come out for it) instead of continuing on the storyline that people have followed over 5 games now. Not even a new map for the original storyline, Mob of the Dead ''remastered'' and 5 ''remastered'' come these scumbags are clearing milking the consumer for every last penny/cent they can get, it's disgusting and has gotten to the point where i don't even know if i want to continue playing computer games anymore.

    It's been 5 months now since the game came out and the only ''updates'' they have done is too find news ways to get even more money from people with ''cosmetics'' (micro transactions). Corporate gaming is trash and always wiil be trash. Every new ''generation'' of consoles the gaming quality takes a massive nose dive in every department except graphics.

If you want a battle royale game, just play fortnite. Even though I personally despise the game, at least its free! BO4 has a $60 paywall, and still has microtransactions!

    Not to mention the fact there is no single-player campaign or loot system (CoD WWII). It seems the only reason this game was even released was for the Battle Royale mode. That mode should have been a stand-off so that the rest of the game could come together.

Instead, they just decide to shut out history fans and storyline fans as if they are practically nonexistent to their player model. If Activision wants to do that, then I'll give them a taste of their own medicine, by shutting them out and not playing their game and will continue to do such until they've acknowledged that and actually remain consistent!… Expand

I'll load up with a Koshka sniper rifle and when I aim down the sight the little red dot is the size of a grape for the first two minutes of the game. Now lets talk about the poor menu navigation and how it takes like 5 minutes to load into create a class and another 5 minutes if you accidentally clicked on the wrong thing and try to back out. Enough about that though lets get to the real nitty gritty here. This game has a thing called specialists that have noob friendly special abilities. Every specialist gets something different but the worst of the worst by far is the Attack Dog, Grenade Launcher, and Seeker Shock Mine. If you haven't played this game before the dog runs around with tons of health chases you and kills you with ease, and the seeker shock mine is basically a auto tracking RCXD that electrocutes the target for a easy kill. I think the grenade launcher is self explanatory but the main issue with that is they took all the fun stuff from black ops 1 removed it and replaced it with **** specialists. Like if you were gonna bring the noob tube back then why didn't you just make it a weapon attachment? This game has no fun explosives unless you choose the battery specialist or replace your specialist ability with a crappy frag grenade that you can't even use after every death. Like really Treyarch.. who in their right mind is gonna put on a frag grenade in place of an over powered broken specialist ability? They tried to remedy this issue by creating the "Barebones" playlist. Barebones is a mode that has 0 specialist abilities and frags, concussions, molotovs, and trophy systems are actually viable options. I hate to say it but the barebones playlist is basically just a hollow half assed black ops 1. If this is the best the game is without specialists Treyarch should be embarrassed. Class customization is garbage and leaves nothing to look forward too. You only get 10 different things to choose from per class which is a problem let me explain. In the standard core mode (the one with specialists) you literally need to have on Flak Jacket (survive cluster nades, noob tube, etc), Tactical Mask (to survive 9 bangs which is a overpowered concussion), Cold Blooded (to deal with the attack dog), Ghost (to not get detected by UAV's). Now that's actually 5 things that take up your class slots because to use flak jacket, and tactical mask at the same time you need to equip perk 1 greed as well. It really doesn't give you much options to play with in that regard unless you like dying to stupid **** constantly. It really shows how bad Treyarch messed up this game when half the community begged for a game mode with no specialists. This game with no specialists is basically a half ass black ops 1 beta test. Actually a half ass black ops 1 is better than this game will ever be. They can polish this turd all they want but at the end of the day they simply botched this game. I would rate this game below 0 if I could.… Expand

Animated Anime films are often good, they didn't say they weren't and didn't even suggest they aren't of course as they were talking about live action versions of anime/animated anime films to be exact, still, not precise enough however. Finally a 6/10 isn't a score that says "this doesn't work" by the way, indisputably that score is at worst an average score, not a below average score.

Mainly because I said that in 2013, at the apex of companies shoveling in useless multiplayer to games that had no need for it such as Bioshock 2, Spec Ops: The Line, The Darkness, and many others. These were games designed from the ground up to be single player experiences, featuring an engaging story with interesting or unique gameplay experiences in order to draw the player in. The multiplayer was often saved for the last minute, if not outsourced to a smaller development team entirely to do a slipshod job of creating some forgettable and barebones multiplayer. A sad time indeed, but what if the game industry took things a step further? What if that dull, unbalanced, repetitive, barebones multiplayer experience wasn't just some lazy trash bolstered onto a game to "complement" the story, what if that's all there was? Welcome to Call of Duty: Black Ops 4.

    The developers may argue that there is single player in the game in the form of "Specialist missions", which can be accessed by clicking on the tiny little "Specialist HQ" square hidden in the horrible menu interface that looks like a Windows 8 start menu mixed with failed Xpadder support. These missions allow you to test drive the characters you can choose in multiplayer, playing multiplayer modes on multiplayer maps with all other players replaced by AI. It's as fun as it sounds.

    Onto the multiplayer itself, which includes all the gametypes you'd expect from CoD at this point. TDM, FFA, Domination, S&D, you get the idea, in both standard and hardcore modes. The maps are also nothing special, nothing memorable like Makin or Shipment to be found here. The game modes and maps aren't really the problem; the gameplay is. "The gameplay?" you may ask, bewildered. "Call of Duty multiplayer has been the same for more or less 12 years, how could the gameplay be the problem?" Because we aren't playing Call of Duty anymore, we are playing Rainbow Six Siege. The classes throughout CoD history have not really impacted gameplay much. As soon as the average person unlocked the ability to make custom classes with their own killstreaks, perks, and weapons they decided to do that and adapt to a playstyle that was best for them. Black Ops 3 introduced classes that could eventually earn enough points to unlock a brief special weapon, which has been expanded on here. You now get to choose a character hero shooter style, picking Firebreak every single time because he is a horribly broken character, or settling for someone else when he gets snatched up first. This completely kills the balance of a game that has never had real balance issues before since it's inception, and the mistake shines through the entirety of multiplayer. Firebreak in particular is a hard pill to swallow, because his specialist equipment attack (RB) is infuriating to deal with. It has a huge blast radius, can hit through walls, kills extremely quickly, and prevents the affected player from using their own equipment for quite a long time. Using it kills Firebreak, but one death after completely wiping out or crippling the enemy team isn't really a big deal.

    The other change brought about in multiplayer that left me scratching my head was the inclusion of manual health recovery. Since Call of Duty 2, health has always regenerated over time if the player managed to avoid damage. For some reason, Black Ops decided to add a health stim which you must manually activate with LB in order to recover. The stim recovers almost immediately, but while using it there is a second of delay to register and you can't run or reload while healing. This adds nothing to gameplay since it grinds the pace to a screeching halt, since you have to hide after every fight to reload and heal, something that totally takes away from the spirit of the game itself.

    There's another factor that completely kills the balance of this game, and it's pay to win lootboxes. A recently added weapon called the 9MM Micro MMG is probably the most broken gun in multiplayer gaming history. It fires after only a second of delay and behaves like a Death Machine. Anyone facing this weapon will be absolutely shredded, throwing off game balance. It is not earned through progression, medals, or any actual test of skill. It is only earned through random loot boxes or "bribes", which require premium currency to purchase. Other powerful broken guns and melee weapons are also available from the beginning to people willing to spend, meaning the whales flourish while the minnows get swallowed up.

    So what's the word? Black Ops 4 is the worst game I've ever played. It's cynical in it's presentation, being some Frankenstein's monster mashup of Call of Duty, PUBG, and Siege all at once. It's cynical in its monetization, hiding the best weapons in the game behind bribes and loot crates that cost premium currency while still charging $60 for an incomplete game.    … Expand

    Tired and lacking ideas, this is the most disappointing CoD in years that follows, not leads. [Christmas 2018, p.72]

    Deprived of its usual solo campaign, Call of Duty Black Ops 4 looks more like a patchwork than a whole, tight experience. Nonetheless, its multiple game modes, among which the first AAA Battle Royale, have enough to offer.

    Still, as rich in content as Black Ops 4 might be, it does exclude a segment of shooter fans that have no interest in multiplayer or competitive gaming, or don’t have a community of gaming friends to play with. Solo players can have a lot of fun with Black Ops 4, though ranking up in multiplayer can be a bit of a frustrating slog through hours of humiliation at the hands of experienced series veterans. The new Blackout mode is probably the best point of entry and promises to be an entertaining game of choice for months to come.
