Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Getting Battle Royale Mode Named Blackout

4.3
Today Activision and Treyarch announced that the upcoming Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 is getting its own battle royale mode.

The mode will be titled “Blackout” and according to the developers it’s “Battle Royale the Black Ops way.” This means that the team has included plenty of elements from the Black Ops series to differentiate it from the competition and make it more palatable to the series’ audience.

We learn that the map is the biggest one that the development team has ever created, and it includes land, air, and sea vehicles. We also hear that according to Treyarch it’s the “deepest and most replayable game they have ever made.”

Traditional characters of the series will be playable, alongside many of the gadgets that have made them famous. This also includes the Zombies cast and their weapons. Some of the locations included in the map will also be reminiscent of popular maps that the community has loved in the past.

“Blackout is an experience unlike any other game or mode in Call of Duty history, where players will have to scavenge, strategize, compete and survive to win. Featuring the largest map ever built in Call of Duty – 1,500 times bigger than Nuketown – Blackout thrusts players into a collision course as they play as classic characters spanning the history of the Black Ops series including the original Call of Duty Zombies Origins cast. Battling solo or in teams, players will engage in diverse combat complete with ground, air and sea vehicles across a gamespace unlike anything ever in Call of Duty. Players will encounter fan-favorite Black Ops map locations and call upon a massive arsenal of Black Ops weaponry and equipment as the winner-takes-all action creates a new way to play Call of Duty.”


The press release also included a comment from Treyarch Co-Studio Head Mark Gordon:

“The Black Ops community means everything to us, so we knew in order to deliver something really special for our fans like Blackout, with the biggest map we’ve ever created in Call of Duty, we had to push ourselves and our tech to the absolute limits The same goes for our PC community. They have inspired and fueled us to set a new standard on PC across every aspect from dedicated servers and security to full optimization and polish that’s worthy of both Black Ops and Battle.net.”

Miko537 Sad that they've run out of innovative ideas. They used to set trends and set standards. Since black ops 2 It's just been downhill from there.



Completely agree. A new cod every year is killing the COD community. Only so many ideas you can think of in a time frame.


I kind of Disagree. It's not because they are releasing a new game yearly. That is not why they went to shit. The thing is, they had something great back in the day on BO2/BO1/MW2/MW3. But they came too innovative and ruined the game when what they should have done is kept boots on ground and kept the same mechanics and every new game just make the game better, Meaning add more features, More guns, More Gun Customization, More Customization on everything, Make the Graphics better, Create better maps, Add new Game Modes etc. But no they did not do that. They Created all new Mechanics to were you can jump 1038223 feet and it felt like a completely different game. It felt like I was playing Crysis, Not COD. I really hope this next next cod is going to be good. I really never got into WW2, because I don't like older guns etc. I like Modern (Like Today's era.) Or even back in 2010. Like an M16 with Cool attachments. Also, think if they added a feature in Cod where you can completely customize your gun. That would be soo bad ass.

I've played COD online battle Royale and it's pretty instense, I love Pubg, and I like the fact that they are trying something new. I know some people will hate the fact that it's call of duty with Royale. I can't judge it until there is some game play or hands on experience.

I don't know how to feel about this

MazePosted:

Can't believe they are have hopped on the bandwagon. Sad to think that CoD used to sent the standard for games. Ill stick to fortnite

FamousPosted:

XeCookie_ I knew they would follow the trend, lets see how it goes as for now I will stick to Fortnite for my battle royale styled game play.



This is why I don't like you. PUBG for life lol

On topic, I'm pissed they are filling the trend. It's cod still to cod shit
