- After Black Ops 4's abysmal launch, Treyarch have stepped up to the plate and do what many people don't expect Triple A developers to do; fix their freaking game. So how did the latest entry in Call of Duty turn out? The Blackout Battle Royale? The Zombies? And the Multiplayer? Well, we're about to find out....

I mean all of the base bo4 zombie maps are as simple as flip a switch for power and play. Some maps don't even have a power mechanic and you just have to activate pap with little steps.
Most of bo4 are technicaly a remake and the first dlc u need to go to a scafvnger hunt to upgrade your wepoun and the perk system is trash . bo4: u need speed cola kiddo ? well u need to buy all your perks . u want double tap ? well upgrade your wepoun 5 fucking times for every fucking wepoun ? wtf who wants that? the only good map is ix and what I dont understund is act man complain alot about gumball gums in bo3 and that they broke the game but he didnt even mintion that bo4 had the same system but insted of gums are drinks and those drink came with u . So u dont even have to get a random one from a machine and act man didnt even mintion that u spwan with a specialest yeah ofcourse gums will break the game but spwning with an overpowerd specialesit will not .

@@andreacapuano585 no. If the majority of people think the bo2 sountrack is beastly. Like me, no other opinion matters 😂😂😂.
Sooooo, remember when you said there was no loot boxes in this game? Yeeeaaahhh.
I've left the game before the loot boxes hit. I just got a tad bored, wanted to try smth else, fount EFT and I got hooked. Now i came back to play a lil, I was missing the game. However, the only thing I've ever cared about in bo4 was blackout. And I gotta say, I am not disappointed to see that it didn't change much. Sure i wish the goddamned knife was removed by now, but still. Blackout was the game (mode) that made me love BR. And it's just blackout, dunno why. I didn't enjoy pubg, fortnite, apex, etc, the way I enjoyed and, apparently still, enjoy blackout. I was on the hate train towards BR's before blackout.
EDIT: wrote this just to try and say that, as long as they don't fuck shit up gameplay wise, they can (by me) do whatever they want. They're scumbags and money whores and I wish this whole shit would stop, but as long as I can still have fun, I'm ok. Couldn't say i wanted the game to die because of this, cause i enjoy it.

It is kinda interesting how he liked this zombies mode. Honestly though as someone who started play way back with World at War Nacht (and has played all Tryarch zombie maps) I have to say each game plays different. For me it all depends on what mood I am in. W.a.W: nostalgic and dog rounds that are actually threatening, side note on PC they have really fun custom maps (Dead Ship is an amazing map) B.O.: Has a few good maps. Still find it darkly humorous that you can give JFK a sniper rifle. B.O. 2: Had a mix of complex maps (Origins and Mob of the Dead) to basic challenging ones (like Nuketown) and god awful ones (Die Rise and Green Run/Tranzit) B.O.3: Like B.O.2 (good mix of complex and basic maps) and again a sucker for the custom maps like the Silent Hill map and the Indiana Jones: The Last Crusade map (you get to actually go through all the traps from the movie and get to the grail room ^>^) B.O. 4: Mixes up the formula. Can play with custom rules, different game modes, and just a lot of customization.
TL:DR: To each their own and custom zombie maps will always be better than the official ones (kidding...for the most part)
I really like custom zombies, yeah there are some bad maps but some are supposed to be bad, hard or just a meme, but some custom maps I've played are brilliant, a few even better than the official maps made by treyarch.
Wow, it’s almost like he can have his own opinion on zombies lol
I liked how punishing the og zombies games were (waw/bo1), it made the game more tension filled knowing you could get 2 tapped if you weren't careful, I also liked the more gritty and dark tone they had, Ithink the later games started getting too easy and adding dumb rng was such a turn off. I'm interested in playing 3 and 4 but haven't yet because Activision are greedy shit bags and still charger full price for 10 year old awfully optimized PC ports. I'm hoping eventually Microsoft will make them drop their pricing on steam or add them to game pass.
Lmao I hopped on WaW the other day and the only 2 custom maps I still have are Dead Ship and that Batman one

Nah not this year
My favorite thing about old COD map design was how it rewarded all playstyles, which made each style more fun. A good example would be rushing in the older games. Back then, rushing with an SMG and being successful was actually quite hard especially on maps designed for Snipers, Rifles, and LMGs (WaW/MW2/BO1 come to mind)
These days all the maps are designed for SMG play, with a few longer sight lines. It's clear they wanted to streamline the design so there is virtually no down time - and this is especially true when you look at how easily spawns can flip compared to the older games

The act man talking about how there’s no game breaking elixirs in zombies, 2 yrs later all the game breaking gobble gums from bo3 are back in bo4 as elixirs
Still a better system than gobblegums. They still aren’t as game breaking in public matches
@@davemac9563 I agree, gobblegums make the game too easy, elixers are a good balance
You forgot to mention the instant and near constant spawn flips. Spawn, run 3 steps get shot in back. Awesome.

28:43 Act Man: for zombies fanatics this must be a dream come true.

so a weapon desing for long rage distance is not suppost to be long range weapon in cod? Thats odd
@@blaze1206 yeah everyone just uses them for quickscoping. if you want actual long range combat you use a famas or anything with an acog sight.

Ayham Zakri personally I find bo4 to have the worst zombies. I just really hate the perks system and the 4 hit system and no jug. And the elixirs are garbage I prefer gobblegums by far. And the mechanics and gameplay just fall short of other zombies games especially bo3. And not to mention the bad maps and all the shitty remakes. Although IX was fairly fun

Why the fuck is it good that Zombies started to get complicated? If casuals can't find the game enjoyable, then it's not a good thing. And he is right about shadows of evil in BO3, it's impossible to figure out the quests on your own unless you look it up online, and which takes away the charm because games are meant to be something you complete without help. And yes, I think that World at War and Black Ops 1 zombies are supreme and top tier, and Nacht Der Untoten is the best zombies map.

I'm a hardcore zombies player and I gotta say the review ain't it. My mouth dropped when he said he loved it. I get that he's more of a casual player but this game caters less to the casual gamer than bo3 even does

Sniping has been melted down to "quickscoping," cant bother using snipers unless you're going to try quickscoping
DeadlyCode I use snipers frequently and usually they are still useful in certain spots and maps but one thing I hate is the spawn flip that happens every 2.5 seconds
This game is so shit. Sniping is just pointless.. After I die three times by autos, I switch to autos and I rape. Get 10 kills in under 2 mins. Sniping... Id be lucky to get a kd of. 5. I can shoot players.. But they jump, shoot and knock me so far back I might as well bend over and let them fist me.. This game is just dumb haha
Even though we already have some maps from BO1, I think some long-ranged maps like Standoff, Raid, and Yemen from BO2 should've been added
You know you’re supposed to quickscope when 99% of the cod community will slander you for hardscoping
Is nobody gonna talk about how there are literally like 20 weapons in the game?
It’s quality over quantity man
Joshua de Graaf but I guess it does come all down to preference. I just personally don’t like the lack of base weapons, and how there are only 2 shotguns and 1 launcher etc
Luis Martinez are you fucking joking?! Don’t you remember the ICR,MX9, THE MADDOX?! DONT THOSE WORDS RING A BELL?!

I hate how everything is basically forced to have battle royale and is basically destroying certain games due to the fact that if it doesn't have battle royale basically nobody would play it.
People would play it, Activision see how good fortnite did, and they assume people will just automatically enjoy the game if they add it in, but they half assed it to shit and its complete garbage

30:34 Having a below average campaign in your previous game isn't an excuse to not even attempt to include a campaign in your subsequent games. At first if you don't succeed, try again. Don't pack up your shiza and say screw it.
idk if this is true but my brother told me that they actually had a campaign for bo4 but it was shit and then they realised how popular battle royale was so they did that instead
@@CornEnthusiast Treyarch was making a weird 2 vs 2 teams in a Multiplayer Co-op Campaign. They would have shipped with five Campaign missions if the story was condensed.
Um no. They focused efforts into a more refined multiplayer. I mean if you’re really into campaign stuff I don’t think COD has been the thing to play for awhile. However it is rather disappointing they didn’t have campaign
Saying they should have just tried again is assuming that they didn't look at their story boards, notes and ideas and realize that they didn't have something good enough to warrant all the resources they'd have to put into a fully fledged campaign (or feel comfortable risking a good story mode on a game that might get the lootbox treatment).
It could have just been that they were ordered by the dick upstairs to drop their campaign, but it seems like it's also possible they could have just made an honest appraisal of where their team is at creatively and said "We'll pass for now."
@@PhyreI3ird That's a pretty lame excuse.

Hey man, you would absolutely LOVE the Metroid Prime Trilogy. Such classic and amazing games and personally I think EVERYONE needs to experience these games at least once in their life.
The style and experience of these games inspired recent classics such as dark souls and other adventure games that push the development of the character and the game at the same rate, thus the phrase Metroid-Vania.
There are very few games out there that capture the atmosphere, isolated feeling, and exploration that the Metroid games do and the music is like no other

Me and my mates play a game mode call James bond, one team sits in a building with rifles shotguns, lmgs and smgs. While one guy with a sniper has to pick off the enemy team, the eneimes aren't allowed to leave the building.
It was a lotta fun cos there were two stories on most maps. Like bo2. But in bo4, there's no 2 story buildings so they just sit and be bored till someone gets a lucky shot...
I really want two story buildings and vertically in the maps...
Ummm nuketown
I'm not buying any dlc. I've brought the game, I spent enough money on the game and I don't want to spend another £40 for a pass for maps I've played.
And nuketown is way too small, James bond only really works with medium size maps because you can move around along more. If you played James bond on Mw1 you have map like crash with multiple stories for the defence, but James bond has buildings to go to in and multiple stories for him to move around in.

“The guns are balanced.”
VMP: Allow me to introduce myself.
I was just thinking the same thing. And there’s more that fell off in this shitshow
Yeah, I'm a little conflicted.
While I try to give Call of Duty the benefit of the doubt and not hate on it because of a certain company's greed, Black Ops 4 raises a couple red flags.
First off, the lack of a single-player campaign. Now, I understand that CoD campaigns aren't the greatest or the longest, but it's nice to have some semblance of single-player content.
Second, the Blackout mode. I'm not really a fan of Battle Royale, so I wasn't sure of how it would even work.
However, that doesn't mean that I won't give it a chance. I try to keep an open mind and I like to play everything if given the chance.
The only good thing that was done in terms of single player is the fact that players could play by themselves with A.i. bots, in both multiplayer and zombies by creating a custom match, and surprisingly the A.i. is pretty decent in Zombies.
Which I was glad that they did such a thing, as some games in the series never even bothered to do so. The only game mode not accessible single player wise or offline is Blackout which makes sense because that's a 100 player PvP.
Dude I havent played call of duty in years, and this game is honestly fun, and blackout is fun asf man give it a chance
Its good, there’s just so many sweats in blackout and multiplayer

Nice video man
On the topic of map selection: COD would do well do start designing maps that work for a certain game mode. I haven't played a COD title since BO2, and what I remember from it and titles prior is that the same map pool was applied to every game mode. It seems that the previous titles (more specifically MW1 - BO2) had pretty decent maps because each game mode was fun and unique on it. The developers spent time on making sure that you had OPTIONS to choose from in different modes. You could take one path in TDM, but then on the same map in CTF or Domination, that path could be undesirable or maybe even better to choose. Open areas could be a power position for some modes and a death trap for others. I think 3Arc was making really "safe" decisions in their maps and make them stupid simple and small rather than try and innovate in case it won't work for other game modes.
Another facet of these maps is that they seem to appeal to just one specific play style. Like you said in your video, snipers aren't even viable in this game because the maps are so small and other weaponry can easily outgun it. The sniper roll has been diminished now so that the only real way to use one is to be really good at quick scoping (now with the lower tick rate will be harder). This doesn't apply to just BO4, this has been a trend since AW when all the crazy movement was happening. Why would you use a medium range gun in those games when the movement system allowed you to basically teleport up close to people? So instead of having more movement this time around, we have smaller maps to accommodate the one play style of "up in your face with a diamond smg" for every game mode.
Why not have a map be designed for TDM, or Hardpoint, or S&D *each*? I know this comparison will seem far fetched but look at Team Fortress 2. I think their maps are outstanding because each one is designed for a specific game mode and has strong and weak positions for each class. Control Point and CTF maps are basically just half a map but mirrored with a firefight scene in the center. Payload maps are much more asymmetrical and have a lot more vertical movement to be in contrast with the cart moving horizontally. They make the game fun and dynamic.
Call of Duty as a franchise is realizing that their target audience does not realize what a good map is. I could be totally wrong but they keep cranking out these shit games and I really only see one age group still hyped as fuck for each one. Sorry for the essay but man, I totally agree with your stance on maps and think that CoD's dev teams should focus on providing quality maps instead of ones that look really nice.

Oh my god, another person who types up paragraphs upon paragraphs that most people realistically wouldn’t have the time to read! Finally!
Anyway, on the subject of snipers, as a PC player they are the bane of my pitiful existence. Pin-point accuracy paired with people who have the reaction time of a fly that seems to dodge every attempt at slapping it down, on fucking speed, seems like a bit of a detriment to any balanced game design. Every other gun I can counter, but snipers at any range are a death sentence unless you can manage to either get within a metre of the enemy to hopefully spray them to death or open fire on them when they look the other way. This isn’t something that’s difficult to deal with in older CoD games as snipers seemed to have fundamentally changed.
You see, in older CoD games, as I believe the Act Man has stated before, all guns had their roles and trade offs for their strengths. LMGs had larger ranges and fast fire rates, but slow mobility and aim speeds made close range less viable and mid range engagements could be one by assault rifles if the player holding them had the skill. This gave the LMG a specific role; holding down an area or an objective. They could be used elsewhere but that wouldn’t allow you to utilise it’s strengths fully. Snipers had the same such thing, being nigh useless in anything but long range, but being precise and powerful when at long ranges. With modern CoDs, of course, as map design become less varied and smaller in scale, all weapons seemingly blurred into each other with play-style to make sure all were viable. This left snipers with an advantage as their high damage was now paired with less rifle sway and much more competitive aim and reload speeds. Even when I was on Xbox, snipers in BO3 were ridiculously unbalanced.
Now, in Black Ops 4, we’ve seen the return of weapon classes having their own roles, now encouraged by operator mods that increase the strengths of a gun while strongly emphasising it’s weaknesses. This is great, except for two weapons. The sniper and the knife. With the maps still being small in scale and barely improved in terms of variety of sight lines, the sniper is still left in an awkward place. It’s old strengths are now useless outside of two maps, and its weaknesses would make it useless. This leaves two options; cut them entirely, or leave them unbalanced. They chose the latter, and the game, at least on PC, suffers immensely for it. With barely any rifle sway that can be mitigated even further with attachments and quicker aim speeds paired with the one hit kill damage, they are nearly unbeatable in even medium range combat as long as the player know what they’re going. Long range? Yeah, good luck. Trust me you’ll need it.
The knife is ridiculously strong in close quarters and knowledge of a map can lead to easy kill streaks as you move through the most efficient path to the enemy, but at least it is limited to smaller maps. It absolutely ruins those maps for me, but it doesn’t effect the others. Those are left to be ruined by the ICR and snipers.
Honestly, as Act Man himself said, the gunplay in this game is the best in the series, but it isn’t just the map design that fights with it. I agree more with the content creator Raycevick, in saying that a formula for a more grounded shooter has been appropriated for a power fantasy shooter, and the modern aspects collide with the old. When he refers to this, it’s in the campaign, but I argue that the same could be said here. This is the first game where the multiplayer formula has made a true effort to return to the grounded roots of the series, and it works... almost. Map design is still the same as the uninspired droll from all recent entries in the series that emphasise the fast combat styles over the more thought out, tactical style that the new gameplay emphases. That isn’t too noticeable all the time and it’s certainly better than previous games, but when playing maps like Nuketown (which should have died in Black Ops 2) and Gridlock, it can be painful, and the “bum rush” tactic still holds an advantage over all maps more than it should. Meanwhile, specialist ultimates take this problem to the extreme. It directly clashes with the core formula this game tries so hard to bring back. You can’t counter a flame thrower, even at a medium range, and spamming a grenade launcher over the map doesn’t require skill. The specialist abilities on their own are great additions, with different tactics being emphasised by different specialists, but it doesn’t exactly scream “balanced” when a player who has done terribly the whole match can pull something more powerful than most kill streaks out of his ass at any point in time, just because the ticking timer ran out. It just adds more of that cluster fuck, Michael Bay aspect that has killed these games over time. CoD was meant to be quick paced action, but with an element of pacing and strategy. This actively fights with that.
While on the subject of things that fight with the core of the game with how much of a cluster fuck they make gameplay, this may be an unpopular opinion but I think most of the kill streaks hurt this game more than anything else. Remember when the most powerful kill streak was just a helicopter, or a swarm of attack dogs? Remember when they were difficult to get? That’s all gone. Now, a losing team can pull five hellstorms, a sniper’s nest and an even a gun shop out of nowhere. They aren’t hard to get, and they are far more powerful. Every time I’m getting into that perfect flow, immersed in the game, I’m pulled out of it by the announcement that another hellstorm is about to destroy my asshole harder than anything that could be found on a hardcore anal video on pornhub. Kill streaks have never been something I enjoyed as much as others, but in the first Black Ops, there was something special about getting even an RC-XD, let alone a gunship helicopter.

@@icantthinkofagoodusername4464 oh my godd
Being a shotgun kinda guy, I definitely did not appreciate the extremely clunky and slow pump shotgun. The one hit range is random and odd, and the pump is so slow, the only way to fire a second time, is if your opponent suddenly has a stroke, and even then they might fall on their controller. Even adding the rapid fire attachment to the pump is almost completely ineffective. I get it, WW2 shotguns were OP as heck. This counter balance was not appreciated, at least by my unprofessional opinion.
