And while I still miss the campaign, I can see the fun of Blackout, which does battle royale in Call of Duty’s unique style.” I thought I would hate it, as I have been a dedicated player of all of Call of Duty’s single-player campaigns over the last 15 years. “I played all of the pieces of the game, and I love it. “A delightfully solid multiplayer experience that will be fun for both veteran Call of Duty fans and battle royale loyalists.” That said, he cautioned folks would need to keep “an open mind” while playing the game. Venturebeat’s Dean Takahashi is still working on his Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 review, but he said that it offers a “fresh experience” for gamers to try out. “With standard multiplayer and Zombies, it struggles to fully commit to moving forward, and the mix of old content and new ideas doesn't always gel.” As a result, the more tactical aspects feel robbed of their impact, and committing to them isn't any more rewarding than a normal kill.” “This isn't a hero shooter, and your success is more dependent on the gun you choose and how good you are at shooting it than your skill with a particular Specialist or your team's composition.

“Blackout undoubtedly captures the intense, shaky excitement that makes battle royale so popular, with Call of Duty's tight shooting and movement mechanics as a strong foundation.” “Black Ops 4's Zombies is as broad as it is deep, with two separate storylines across three maps-four if you have the Black Ops pass included in the game's special editions.” “Matches overall have a slightly slower, more cautious pace, but time-to-kill is still low and respawning still near-instant.” “Blackout is a big step forward for Call of Duty, and while it undoubtedly captures what makes battle royale so popular, I still need to play a lot more.” This is ultimately about keeping existing fans happy where they might otherwise drift toward other titles.Kallie Plagge at Gamespot hasn’t completed her review of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 yet, but she clearly believes the game shines and does a great job of delivering compelling online gaming experiences while not losing sight of what made the Black Ops brand interesting in the first place. This probably won't tear you away from the likes of Fortnite or Apex Legends, but it doesn't have to. More gauntlets are coming to Zombies as well. A capture the flag mode should liven up conventional multiplayer, while Blackout will throw an attack helicopter into the mix along with a Ground War option. Throughout the season, you can expect other functional upgrade. Zombies fans, meanwhile, have a Super Blood Wolf Moon Gauntlet and new weapons. New characters and a dart also spice things up. In Blackout, map updates are the stars of the show - a Wetworks change on the original map has flooded a large region and encourages the use of boats. You'll also see the return of Prop Hunt (hide and seek where you disguise yourself as an object) as well as a trio of new maps, a new light machine gun and a new melee weapon. In Blackout, you have to discover him as a "Spectre stash" that switches your character and gives you a distinct edge over your rivals. As you might guess, his focus is on agility - he can roll and otherwise do his best to get up close and slash his opponents. The centerpiece on launch will be the return of Spectre, a sword-brandishing Specialist. They're debuting a new season ("Operation Spectre Rising") on April 30th, and you can expect a steady stream of updates that might just be meaningful. Treyarch and Activision are determined to keep Black Ops 4 lively in the face of stiff competition.
