It is mechanics that glue Black Ops 4 together, then, rather than any particular theme, which helps each component drill down into what its good at. The competitive multiplayer can afford to be break-neck at all times, because you can happily nick off and play the more languid, tense and tactical Blackout.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 is fantastic, plain and simple. The concerns over the game not being worth it due to a lack of a single-player campaign seem overblown, when compared to how much effort was put into improving the online modes. This easily feels like one of the most content-filled Call of Duty entries and I can absolutely recommend picking this up, even if you’re a since-jaded fan of the first-person shooter series.

One of my favorite games as a kid, many people say its bed becaose it has no compaign but the thing is that cod never head good compaigns so what does not having it take away from the game? The maps ware good, game controls ware simply legendary and easy to control, unlike modern warfare 2019 and future mw games and to top it all of it head one of the best ever cod league modes ever.

If you manage to get beyond the absence of the single campaign, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 is a solid multiplayer shooter full of content.

It’s smaller, but it’s also undeniably bolder and more focused than any of its recent predecessors. And for a series known for its more is more philosophy, that’s no small feat.

Black Ops 4 flashes all the things this series is best known for - the new Call of Duty is a festival of joyous, dynamic and bombastic online fragging. The Zombie mode is especially good, but the infamous Blackout mode doesn't quite deliver. All in all, CoD holds up pretty well, but it's easy to find numerous pitfalls.

Despite the lack of a campaign and any tonal consistency, Black Ops 4 boasts a thrilling entry into the battle royale space.

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.

COD: BO4: It was alright, pretty standard experience to be honest. Had some nice hero’s 7/10.

What happened? Why break what wasn't broken?! This is a re-wrapped Black Ops III multi-player with micro-transactions and cheap slop content! You basically ruined the game and took out everything that made this franchise work! Dumb!

Didn't like multiplayer and zombies was just ok. The new zombies crew is dissapointing as well.
