Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 will be appreciated or not, you can hardly have an opinion that goes in the middle. Activision and Treyarch have meticulously listened to the requests of the community bringing to light a solid and well-varied product in the ways that, unfortunately, sins of a single player campaign clumsily replaced by tutorials, starring the various Specialists, somewhat bland.

As a Call of Duty veteran, I'd say give it a chance. If you want an even harder Zombie experience, this game has provided it with bells on, and I look forward to what the DLC brings in next few months.

Overall it's a pretty great year for Call of Duty, even if it feels like the once-dominant shooter series is now playing catch-up to an industry that left it behind. That may be the case, but Treyarch did a damn fine job catching up at least.

So we can say that we have a Call of Duty in front of us, trying to take a step forward and we can only get half done. The well-structured multiplayer, rich in modes, optimization and zombie mode are certainly points in favor that make the title enjoyable and entertaining. The introduction of the Battle Royale, which may not appeal to everyone, is actually a good feature if you think about its realization; on the other hand, those who are not interested can not always play with it. Too bad for the absence of the singleplayer that has always characterized the title, but that perhaps was now a part reached the end. Too bad, however, for the graphics that is certainly the least cured part of the entire production. Overall, however, despite some flaws, the game lets you play with pleasure, satisfying a bit 'the tastes of all users!

In pruning the campaign from its suite of modes, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 has discovered a renewed focus on the nuts and bolts of what most players demand from Activision's undying shooter series. Blackout is a superb addition, in which Treyarch improves upon the battle royale formula, ensuring the gamble in losing single-player ultimately pays off.

While innovation wasn't a focus, the sheer value for money that you get with this game is more than enough to offset any doubts that this game isn't worth it.

A worthy entry to the Call of Duty franchise. Blackout and Zombies impress. Unfortunately, matchmaking and performance issues on PCs hold it back from reaching the pinnacle.

If you're the sort of gamer who usually looks down their nose at the Call of Duty franchise, Black Ops 4 might just be the game that changes your opinion ever so slightly. Old-school purists can find their competitive multiplayer fix, and with the revamped Zombies and new Blackout mode, there's no denying that Treyarch's latest stands well out from the pack.

Call of Duty is one of the notorious franchises in video games and carries a reputation for one of the most acclaimed and addicting multiplayer series. When Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 was announced many were annoyed that the sub-series within the franchise known for telling great stories would be abandoning single-player for a multiplayer-only experience. It delivers a by the numbers Call of Duty experience that will satisfy those who love the multiplayer experience but won't win those who've left the franchise behind or had no interest in the first place.

How well Activision manages Black Ops 4 will possibly influence the entire future of the series. For now, two thirds of it is rising to the occasion.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 has made a sacrifice that will definitely cause some to turn away from the title. However, removing the campaign came with its own line of benefits. Multiplayer has an addictive twist for those who like their traditional Call of Duty experience, Zombies is as engaging and fun as ever, and Blackout is arguably one of the best Battle Royale experiences available.

It’s an awesome game despite hugging the trends of hero shooters and battle royale. If you’re someone coming back to the Call of Duty scene it can be unrecognizable due to the amount of stuffs that changed and got added. Unlocking secret camos for your favorite guns take time yet feels worth it when it evolves into something crazy the more kills you get. Hidden Easter eggs also bear some weight as you get cool stuffs to help in the zombie-killing journey.

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 moes. 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.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 fires on all cylinders and hits every target with immense precision. This is the peak of zombies, one of the best battle royale experiences in the genre, and one of the most fluid, engaging, and tactical Call of Duty multiplayer modes to date. Even with the removal of a traditional single-player campaign, Black Ops 4 feels like you're paying $60 for a game that you could value at $100 or more.

The traditional multiplayer offers the most classic and satisfying shooting experience. The maps of Zombies mode is greatly expanded. Black Out makes a great progress for battle-royale games in terms of battles. Though Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 doesn't make much difference compared with its prequel or other battle-royale games, it's still the best shooting game on earth.
