Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 (2018)
I didn't plan to buy this but am glad I did.
I have been disappointed with COD for sometime now... the last one I really enjoyed was the original black ops. This game plays on my nostalgia for the original while still incorporating some new mechanics. I have really enjoyed every aspect of this game. It is still early in the life cycle of the game so there are a few minor bugs, but they will definitely patch them in coming weeks. Graphics are the best they have ever been in a COD game. (which should be expected... ) The blackout mode is incredibly fun, and has less of a learning curve than some other battle royale games. There are only 80 people on the map at this point, and it runs pretty smooth. I have only experienced some intermittent drops in frame rate. I would like to see a full 100 players on map but not at the cost of smooth gameplay. For that reason I am glad Treyarch went the more conservative route with 80 players, though they have said they will try to increase the number of players in the near future. As far as zombies.... I have not enjoyed that game mode since black ops 1, but have it a shot playing it 3 or 4 times, and I am hooked again... more interesting characters, more intuitive gameplay and some new mechanics that I really enjoy. The maps are interesting, fun, and simple to navigate. The maps in both multi player and zombies are beautifully rendered. The blackout map is huge, nicely designed, looks as good as battlefield 4 or 1 maps. But is not as polished as the multiplayer and zombie maps. Overall a great game well worth the $60 USD. So long as Treyarch continues to keep up maintainance and makes regular updates, I will be buying the $50 season pass.
