Multiplayer
Call of Duty: Black Ops 4’s multiplayer experience delivers the most tactical depth to-date. Featuring a gritty, grounded combat experience, Black Ops 4 Multiplayer is set between Black Ops 2 and Black Ops 3 and serves as a prequel to the game’s Specialists and their backstories. Multiplayer has been revamped to a whole new level, designed to offer more choice, reward more styles of play and create an even more intensely competitive experience.
Specialists
Specialists return in a big way: their weapons and equipment are unique to each, so combining Specialists based on style of play and game mode adds a new level of strategy and team creativity – it’s all about synergy.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 features a combination of new and re-imagined Specialists, all of whom have distinct combat profiles and abilities.
Teamwork
Multiplayer in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 places an emphasis on tactical teamplay that rewards all play styles that contribute to a team’s success, not just individual performance or K/D ratio. Players can combine their talents with other players to become force multipliers, making the team more superior than any one player could be on their own.
Players are strong on their own, but unstoppable as a team, especially when they combine Specialists in strategic ways to work together.
Player Movement and Gameplay
The pace of Black Ops 4 has evolved, without slowing down the speed of the player. Combat is more tactical, yet more fluid than ever.
Black Ops 4 multiplayer is a grounded experience, with no thrust-jumps or wall-running. It also introduces a new manual health system that you must strategically employ: choose when to regenerate your health as it recharges on a cooldown.
Zombies
This year marks the 10-year anniversary of Call of Duty Zombies, as Black Ops 4 delivers the biggest Zombies offering at launch ever with three full Zombies experiences.
New Story/Characters
Voyage of Despair is set aboard the RMS Titanic, an iconic and monumental setting where our four protagonists discover the truth that befell the doomed passengers on that fateful night.
Set in ancient Rome, IX thrusts our four protagonists into a coliseum where ritual sacrifices may be required.
Expanding on the fan-favourite Mob of the Dead, the third map Blood of the Dead features the Origins characters from the previous Zombies storyline visiting the purgatory dimension of Alcatraz.
More Customisation
In Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, Zombies will be the most customisable experience to-date, giving players access to customisable options that allow players to change the fundamental rules and systems of the Zombies gameplay experience.
Black Ops 4 Zombies will include Custom Games and new Game Modes, which will deliver a more personalised Zombies experience – allowing players to tailor the challenge and difficulty to their play style, and experience the game in a new way.
Blackout
Blackout is a celebration of the Black Ops community, introducing a brand-new Battle Royale style mode steeped in the Black Ops universe. Blackout pits the most players ever in franchise history against each other, in the biggest map in Call of Duty history, all with the signature Black Ops combat players know and love.
PC
Treyarch are working closely with Beenox to develop Black Ops 4 for PC, featuring an uncapped frame-rate, 4k resolution and HDR, and support for ultra-wide monitors.
Through its partnership with Blizzard, Black Ops 4 will be available on the Battle.net online platform.
The game will include all the social features of the Battle.net platform, which includes staying connected to friends playing other games on Battle.net or staying connected to the Battle.net mobile app.
