Activision officially revealed all the initial information on what to expect from the Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 and it is an affirmation that Fortnite and PUBG got the formula to get players keep on playing online --- ditch the single player and go on Battle Royale. Yep! No more single player with Call of Duty and just go on a shooting spree in Multiplayer gameplay.

Does this mean that Call Of Duty has run out of ideas to have a single player campaign? Perhaps. But we’ll miss those days when there was a really compelling story that makes you want to line-up in the middle of night and be one of the first get a copy and that was the Modern Warfare story.

At the Reveal event, Treyarch announced that they putting back Specialist in the game, and in the reveal trailer it looks like a take on Rainbow Six: Siege there are an initial 8 specialists: Ajax, Battery, Crash, Firebreak, Recon, Ruin, Seraph, and Torque. Each specialist has ability and teams are allowed only one Specialist in a match. Items will be recharge-based and health does not regenerate and will need a recharge meter or wait for a Specialist Medic to heal a player. In a regular Multiplayer game, it will be 5 vs 5 this time, down from 6 vs 6.

Weapons will be having major changes with more possibilities for customization with 3D tracers to see where a player is being shot from.  If you are wondering what the Battle Royale is, it’s called “Blackout” and the map will be massively bigger than Nuketown and players will drop on maps from all the Black Ops titles.

Fog of War will limit what the player sees in the map so one will have to be on his/her toes all the time and will rely on a lot of communications with team mates.

For those who prefer playing on Battle.net then good news! Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 will the first in the Call of Duty series to be played in Battle.net rather than on Steam.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 will be released on 12 October 2018 making it the first in the series to be released in the month of October whereas before the COD titles were released in November.

It will be playable on Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. More videos from the reveal, zombies and all, below:
