With the release of Black Ops 4 PUBG’s player base may have remained unaffected but Fortnite is seeing some trouble. Its Twitch viewership is strong but compared to Black Ops 4 it is quite low. At the time of this writing, Black Ops 4 has little over 300K Twitch viewers while Fortnite stands at 160K. Black Ops 4 has close to double the number of viewers when compared to Epic’s Fortnite, a game that is was the biggest Battle Royale game in the world. It is safe to Black Ops 4 is taking over and while we do not know where the concurrent player numbers stand, Black Ops 4 is the biggest launch for any Call of Duty. This speaks volumes about where the player base stands. Black Ops 4 digital sales hit the highest number for day one sales in Activision’s history. The battle royale mode is the biggest contributing factor here. Overall, Black Ops 4 is estimated to sell over 23 million units. Piper Jaffray raised their estimate from 21 million to 23 million after the … [Read more...] about Black Ops 4 Twitch Viewers Are Double Than Fortnite’s

Black Ops 4’s Progression System and Season Pass Are Dated
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare’s impact on the first-person shooter genre can still be felt today, especially in the online realm. RPG-ifying the hell out of every aspect gave players something to addict themselves to as the many hours ticked away. Unlocking new guns and scopes became a staple for the series as did its increasingly expensive map packs. Both were standard for Call of Duty. But the standards from a decade ago don’t work as well today and make Call of Duty Black Ops 4’s progression system and season pass incredibly dated as a result. Curiosity fueled my excitement to crack Black Ops 4 open. Casting aside the campaign and dolphin diving fully into multiplayer was something I just had to see for myself. If this was going to be the online revolution for Call of Duty, this was probably going to be it. However, it is still very much a Call of Duty game: it’s got smooth, fantastic shooting, a plethora of teammates and opponents named BonerLord420, and a … [Read more...] about Black Ops 4’s Progression System and Season Pass Are Dated
Black Ops 4 Blackout Mode Had Very Little Impact on PUBG Playerbase
Black Ops 4 Blackout mode has finally released but it’s surprising to know that it had a very little impact over PUBG audience on PC. Despite having one of the best launches ever in the Call Of Duty series, Black Ops 4 has failed to take away the competition from its competitors on PC. According to GitHyp, PUBG on Steam saw a very little decline in players over the weekend. Only about 4% decrease was seen which represents almost 24,000 players. Surprisingly, this less than what we have seen in the previous weeks. This tells that not everyone has left PUBG and shifted to Black Ops 4 Blackout mode so it might take some time for the players to finalize what they want to play. Other than the competition with PUBG, Black Ops 4 has marked Activision’s biggest day one sales Ever. It has overcome Call of Duty WW2 which held the record last year. The game alone reached a milestone on the PlayStation Store by having the most digital sales on day one. Treyarch has done a great job and … [Read more...] about Black Ops 4 Blackout Mode Had Very Little Impact on PUBG Playerbase
Call of Duty Black Ops 4 Review – A New Breed of Triple Threat
This Call of Duty Black Ops 4 review has been written post-launch, with a weekend dedicated to a mix of multiplayer, Blackout, and Zombies. After playing the game extensively on public servers, with a regular edition of the game on PS4 Pro, I’m finally ready to put fingers to keyboard and give this title a review that covers all bases. Treyarch is my favorite Call of Duty developer and I’ve invested hundreds of hours into the Black Ops series. While these games have formed mostly happy memories, both with boots on the ground and exo-suit gameplay mechanics, there have also been some ugly moments, caused by microtransactions and poor matchmaking within DLC playlists. Does Black Ops 4 finally bring perfection to the Call of Duty name? Not quite… but it comes close. Call of Duty Black Ops 4 Review – Multiplayer Mastery The Black Ops 4 map and mode combo is one of the most compelling Call of Duty launch day line-ups that I’ve ever … [Read more...] about Call of Duty Black Ops 4 Review – A New Breed of Triple Threat
Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 review: a polished, pulsating battle royale
One of my favourite things to do in Blackout, Call of Duty's take on battle royale, is to crash through windows. I know it makes a lot of noise, I know it alerts nearby enemies to my position and I know there's a door right next to the window. But I just can't help myself. Sprint, vault, smash! I'm inside, glass on the floor, loot to pick up or - hopefully - an enemy player who dies at my hand while marvelling at the grandeur of my entrance.Vaulting through windows is so much fun because it's so slick. It just works, with great audio and feedback. And it's symptomatic of the Call of Duty battle royale experience. This is a triumph of execution over inspiration. Blackout does not rewrite the battle royale rulebook, but it stands out because it works really, really well.When it first emerged developer Treyarch was jumping on the battle royale bandwagon, it was hard to imagine how the traditional Call of Duty experience, with its blistering, 60 frames per second gunplay and speedy … [Read more...] about Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 review: a polished, pulsating battle royale
