Black Ops 4 Devs Claim Their Battle Royale Is Better Than Fortnite

3.8
The gloves are off and the gauntlet has been thrown down as the upcoming Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 looks to reign supreme over the world of Battle Royale gaming and be even better than Fortnite and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.

While Black Ops 4 may be controversially ditching its single-player story mode in favor of wholly multiplayer experience, fans are over the moon that Battle Royale will be a new addition to Treyarch's latest game in the long-running subfranchise. Battle Royale is all the rage right now, but can Black Ops 4 really take it to another level?


Speaking at Black Ops 4's action-packed live reveal in LA (via Finder), game designer Matt Scronce boldly proclaimed that the game's Battle Royale will wipe the floor with similar games:

"We wouldn't do this if we didn't think we could do it best and better than everybody else. We've got a huge library of content, ten years of history, we've got the best gunplay out there, we've got the best movement, so we're not too worried about it. Honestly, we're just worried about making this damn thing as fun as possible. And look, we're in a world where there's plenty of room for multiple titles. We've seen that in first-person shooters as a whole. Y'know, people would sometimes ask 'how is Battlefield and CoD going to exist in the same industry?' We do. What we're doing is going to be different. Some players will gravitate to us and people may gravitate towards other games. We're making something that, when we play it, we have a whole lotta fun and I think we can grow out from that."


Dubbed Blackout, the Battle Royale mode will drop an unknown number of players into a map that is 1,500 times larger than the franchise's Nuketown map. A hat-tip to the history of the Black Ops franchise that started in 2015, Blackout will feature recognizable characters and weaponry while also adding something new. It all sounds very exciting, so it is no surprise that Scrone wants to hype one of Black Ops 4's biggest selling points.

While there is still plenty being kept back for E3, developers at Treyarch are keen to break the mold when it comes to Battle Royale gaming. Only recently, Fortnite has pushed the envelope further with its Infinity War crossover event and a dancing Thanos. Elsewhere, PUBG is accused of being a little behind the times but is teasing something new with the mysterious inclusion of some golden chests. What Black Ops 4 has up its sleeve to top its rivals remains to be seen, but at least the game has the confidence to do so.

Rareparrot cheaply made game called fortnite the only reason people play it is because it's free no wonder it's free it's because its poorly made cheap gfx cheap everything only the broke people play such a cheaply made game I tell you what if all games were free even the Nintendo games would out compete this game called fortneet. call of duty ain't dead. it never will die. you see I'm pretty sure you all played a game better then fortnite you just won't admit or you just don't realize it. this dude called "ninja" hating on the price of 60$ for a game come on you make 500k a month and he crys about the price man.

What in the name of the Lord are you talking about? It's free and people spend money on skins, axes, dances and the Battle Pass. While the Battle Royale mode is free to play, you've still got people spending hundreds and hundreds of their money on V-Bucks. It isn't really free unless you could give a shit about skins or are a 9 year old who can't afford to buy V-Bucks.

And no, free games wouldn't compete against the popularity of Fortnite. You don't see NBA/NFL/MLB/FIFA stars playing Super Mega Baseball. No, Call of Duty won't surpass Fortnite with it's Battle Royale mode because it's about POPULARITY. And, are you really talking about "cheap graphics" when Call of Duty has had the same graphics scheme for the past 2 or 3 games and the only place that their graphics are even remotely better are in the campaign, WHICH THEY'RE REMOVING?

Also, Ninja makes $500k a month playing FORTNITE. Because IT'S WHAT'S POPULAR. Call of Duty is trying to get its head into the Battle Royale scene because they know that their series isn't as popular as it was and now they're trying to keep "boots on the ground" and introduce the Battle Royale mode to try and win back some of their popularity... When they could simply remaster MW2/MW3 and win back a massive amount of popularity among the fan base.

I'm going to be purchasing BO4 and trying out their Battle Royale mode; if it doesn't exceed or meet expectations, they might as well just throw the CoD series in the trash.

I can't wait for it to flop and I can come back to this post and laugh.

If somehow it does do better than Fortnite then I will be astounded.

Very bold calm, but to be honest I don't take anything too seriously from Call of Duty anymore, they haven't really shown me anything "better" compared to recent games.
