Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 gives new life to an aging formula, and its three core modes combine to create one of the most complete FPS packages the series has every known.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, the fifteenth iteration of a storied Call of Duty franchise, blends old and new to put itself in the upper echelon of Call of Duty games. Despite its lack of a traditional campaign, the game impresses in plenty of other aspects. The newcomer mode, Blackout, puts a fun and compelling Call of Duty spin on the battle royale genre.

Treyarch offers the first Call of Duty without a single-player campaign. Is Black Ops 4 the complete package?

The best Call Of Duty of the generation and while some will bemoan the lack of a story campaign, it’s hard to argue with the quality and quantity of content on offer.

Improving what it’s done time and time and time and time again with a sexier (read: crasser) coat of paint thrown on it. Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 does exactly what it says on the tin — that is, not very much of anything new or different.

If you haven’t already read my Call of Duty: Black Ops PS5 review, here’s the TL;DR: it’s a rip-off.
