Call of Duty: Black Ops 4: release date, zombies, trailer, beta, gameplay – all the latest details
Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 is the next title in Activision’s illustrious FPS series. It is set between the events of Black Ops 2 and 3, but marks a huge departure for Call of Duty in that it’s the first entry to not feature a traditional campaign. In its place is a battle royale mode called Blackout, which joins the core multiplayer and zombie mode to make it the most multiplayer-focused COD yet. Owing to its setting, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 promises a return to a near-future where drone warfare is commonplace – not quite boots on the ground, but not space warfare either. Working on the 15th instalment in the main series, and the first with a story arc to make it past three games (four if you count World at War), developer Treyarch will have a tough job shrugging off any series weariness while still appealing to hardcore Call of Duty players. So, what can we expect from Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 when it deploys on PC? Here is everything we know about Black Ops 4, … [Read more...] about Call of Duty: Black Ops 4: release date, zombies, trailer, beta, gameplay – all the latest details
After Investing Story Mode Resources to MP, This is Black Ops 4 Multiplayer on PC; “Failed to Host Lobby”
As I sit here writing this article at 1AM, I am utterly disappointed and concerned about the future of Call of Duty. Over the past few weeks I have writing so much about the new Call of Duty game, criticizing what COD has become. Still, somewhere in my heart there was hope, doubt, that may be I am wrong and may be those YouTubers who got their hands on Black Ops 4 multiplayer beta are wrong. Unfortunately, they aren’t wrong as far as their claims about this game’s troublesome development goes. When you scrap one of the most loved features of Call of Duty, the story mode, and invest those resources to the multiplayer portion it raises the bar of expectations. However, when players around the world (including myself) can’t even access the beta, that says a lot about your game. As I write, the game is running in the background and I can still hear the amazing soundtrack they used over the UI. Sadly, the music is all I would get to enjoy tonight because after trying … [Read more...] about After Investing Story Mode Resources to MP, This is Black Ops 4 Multiplayer on PC; “Failed to Host Lobby”
Five Concerns Black Ops 4 Blackout Must Address
Change is seldom accepted so easily and Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 has a long, hard road ahead that winds past the traditional formula for something new and different. The franchise is jumping on the battle royale bandwagon this year with Blackout, a move that raises a few important questions for veterans. Just how will Treyarch integrate the hundred-player mayhem into the Call of Duty universe? Here are five concerns that the new mode must address. Tweaking mortality with weapon mechanics The Call of Duty franchise has always relished a signature fast-paced and extremely close-quarters combat system, something that has been sustained by developers over the years with two main elements. Firstly, the multiplayer maps designed have more often been smaller in scale. Secondly, the simplistic weapon mechanics without any real physics have only made it possible for players to point-and-shoot or run-and-gun with ease. In other words, the time to live (TTL) and time to kill (TTK) have always … [Read more...] about Five Concerns Black Ops 4 Blackout Must Address
