![]() ![]() It’s an easy way to zip up to an unsuspecting player without making yourself too much of a target, which is always a concern with battle royale vehicles. My attempts at piloting the vehicles in Blackout mostly led to disaster, but the snappy ATV is by far my favorite, handling best with a controller, though I switch back to keyboard and mouse once I’m back on-foot. This is a looser take on PUBG’s realistic milieu, where deftly sliding around small interiors with an SMG or lightning-fast quickscoping with a sniper rifle will get you further than camping on a bathroom floor. Matches are quick and dirty, leaving only a little room for tactical maneuvering. The ten-minute lulls and tense nail-biting of a 45-minute PUBG match are mostly absent here, a welcome contrast that suits COD’s more pick-up-and-play style. The whip-sharp precision and reactivity of Blackout’s shooting easily outclasses the slightly-clunky gunplay of PUBG, while the smaller map and the generous distribution of quality loot produce a much faster, more thrilling game that's more akin to Fortnite. Still, its absence leaves the singleplayer relatively meager this time around, limited to solo zombie-stomping with bots or lone missions that star the game’s cast of multiplayer ‘Specialists.’ Black Ops 4 is solely a game about shooting your friends or shooting with your friends, and if the battle royale mode weren't so fun, it'd feel a little thin for its $60 price tag. Though I have fond memories of the CoD campaigns of yesteryear, especially Modern Warfare 2's, recent entries have left me unimpressed. If you haven't heard, Treyarch has jettisoned the usual glossy eight-hour corridor campaign from this year’s game. Activision also recently revealed another new addition to the game called signature weapons-cosmetic variants of guns you'll be able to unlock by completing challenges.Note the lack of singleplayer in that description. In addition to Blackout, the game features a handful of new and returning modes, including an expanded Zombies experience. ![]() You can take a look at the map below.Ĭall of Duty: Black Ops 4 launches for PS4, Xbox One, and PC on October 12. The official Call of Duty Twitter account recently shared an image of the map, giving fans a glimpse at just how large it is before the beta begins. Treyarch says Blackout features the largest map it has ever created, with areas that draw heavily from previous entries in the Black Ops series. On PC, everyone with a account will be able to participate in the beta starting September 15, but players who've pre-ordered the title will get access to it 24 hours early. ![]() The console Blackout beta will only be open to those who've pre-ordered a copy of Black Ops 4. The first Blackout beta session kicks off exclusively for PS4 on September 10 Xbox One players, meanwhile, will be able to jump in a few days later, beginning September 14. So there's a lot that can go on that can happen beyond that first impact of the game going out there." "We're going to actively be participating in the community and taking feedback, making changes and adapting, evolving the game as feedback rolls in. "Whenever we launch a game as a beta or whatever, that's the beginning of something," Bunting said. However, he notes that Blackout's final player count is still subject to change Treyarch may tweak the number before the game's release based on player feedback. "What's really more important to us than a number is that the gameplay experience is as refined as it can be, that it's the ideal perfect format for what players are going to play," Treyarch co-head Dan Bunting told Game Informer.
