Call Of Duty: Black Ops 4 just released two weeks ago and the Blackout mode is receiving praise from fans and critics alike. For me personally, I was not that excited for this game due to the lack of campaign, but the game has so far exceeded my expectations.
The Blackout mode is so far my favorite mode of the game. As it replicates the battle royal mode that games like Fortnite have perfected, but there is something special about this mode that really draws me in. For me, it is the same thing that drew me to H1Z1, it's the fact that you have to scavenge and look around for guns and equipment and it feels realistic for the most part. The gun battles that I get into our crazy, hectic, and keeps you on the edge of your seat. You really have to pay close attention when playing Blackout or you're going to have a very bad time
The multiplayer is, for the most part, the same as it's always been, but it is slightly different this time. The health system has been completely revamped, you no longer just heal up automatically. You have these shots that heal you up to full health fairly fast. Narrowly escape an opponent? You can just heal up while running away and turn around and unleash. The multiplayer seems a lot more balanced this time around as well, as starter weapons seem to be good. There are no bad weapons so far for me.
The zombies' mode is back and comes with 3 maps, Voyage of Despair, Blood of the Dead, and IX. You can also get Classified, a remake of a classic zombie map from Black Ops (2010) if you purchase the season pass. While I haven't done any of the easter eggs, just from playing a few matches here and there, I really enjoy the zombies' mode. It is the same as it has been, kill zombies and get points. It is still an extremely fun mode.
Overall, Did Black Ops 4 exceed expectations? Yes. But is it worth the 60 dollar price tag? No. While this game is good, but it doesn't bring anything life changing to the table beside Blackout. I would say 40 dollars is a good price for this. My opinion if you are interested in this title, wait until Black Friday when you can get it on sale because 60 dollars for this is a little ridiculous. Red Dead Redemption has over 150 hours of content apparently and it sells for the same price. It is really up to you about whether you want to spend the 60 dollars
