This communication is important for a multiplayer game with a high life expectancy, especially at launch. However, Treyarch has been great about staying on top of those issues, continuously updating their blog with information on what they're actively looking at and fixing. For example, teaming up with friends in Blackout doesn’t always work correctly, and the Theater mode crashes regularly. With three solid maps and new modes, Zombies has a meaty launch plus, Blackout and multiplayer have that attractive gameplay loop that keeps me drawn in.īlack Ops 4 unfortunately has a laundry list of technical and balance issues infecting each of its modes. This is certainly disappointing for some, but, for me, Black Ops 4 gets along just fine without it. Though there are significant changes to each mode's formula, the biggest change is Black Ops 4’s lack of a classic campaign. However, persisting technical issues and a number of already stale multiplayer maps hold Black Ops 4 back from being an even greater package. Combined with smart innovations to both Zombies and multiplayer, Black Ops 4 is a strong entry in the series. Its excellent battle royale addition, Blackout, acts as a nice homage to everything in the Black Ops series. This year, Treyarch is leaning into robust multiplayer modes. With Black Ops 4, we see this long-running series land in far more interesting terrain, even without a campaign. That's really the only negatives I have about this game.Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 flung the series into a thrust-jumping, wall running future. Also, while the content in Multiplayer more than makes up for it, I still wish Treyarch had some sort of single player campaign. 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. It feels like they put a lot of love and care into designing this game. I highly recommend this game to anyone that's ever loved a Call of Duty game. Even though this is their first foray into the genre, Treyarch did an excellent job at making a fun BR experience. Blackout, the new Battle Royale mode, feels fantastic. 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. This makes game modes like Search and Destroy have a kind of Overwatch feel. Has more of a tactical feel than a lot of the past games in the series. While it's cool to see some of the past game's specialists returning, I really enjoy the new characters. 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. 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). 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). Advanced Warfare was neat for a while, but I never made it past first prestige. Not to mention all the wonderful Zombies content included in that game. 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. 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. However, for the past 4 years, I've bought every COD game from Advanced Warfare and onward. Less of a hardcore fan and more of a casually interested enthusiast. Never bothered with multiplayer or Infinity Ward's Modern Warfare series, I was always a Treyarch guy. 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.
