AAA Battle Royale Experience

Until last week, the information surrounding Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Blackout mode was pretty hard to find. Then they released the beta version of Blackout to allow everyone to try the royal battle mode for themselves. Throughout the week, a number of changes and updates were made based on comments and data collected by Treyarch. The number of players has gone from just 80 players to the royal battle number of the industry of 100. Many modifications and adjustments have been made to the weapons, unlocking characters and even an extra camera so you know exactly what mistakes you have committed. were bulging.

Treyarch also described the changes they have not been able to do in the beta period, but that will happen to the final version of the game. Things like a detailed kill lead, more than enough to do. pay attention to the benefits and the upgrade, and changes in how ball penetration works on various objects. It was a swirling week that seemed to be passing, and the beta was over before I knew it, but not until I took some precious time with Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Blackout. When one of the most sold series of video games decides to embark on the royal battle, the competitors are more vigilant. This is Royal Battle with this special brand of Treyarch care.

Looks like Call of Duty

The first thing I learned very quickly is that I'm not good at royal battle games. I would have hidden myself in a convenience store bathroom with my firearm at the door, waiting for the impending storm to pick me up as I ventured to look for falling players around me. I've probably preferred to play quads for this very reason. The ability to support my team mates was an invaluable resource that helped me last longer than the times I was captured on the other side of the map. Fortunately, the load seems to be much faster than other Royal Battle games I played, so even after a quick knockout, there was not much to expect for the next game.

I have my own opinions on the royal battle genre in general, but that does not detract from the sheer quality of Blackout. It is obvious that it is a Treyarch Call of Duty Game. It keeps the same feeling, so Call of Duty Players will be comfortable with a controller in their hands, battling 99 other players. Otherwise, it does not spoil much, if at all, the proven formula of the Royal Battle. The studio has adopted proven and simply applied game mechanics Call of Duty for them.

Sent as Call of Duty

I've always been of the opinion that the Royal Battle is not a genre, but rather a mode. It would be like calling the Deathmatch team as a kind of game. Battle Royal is a mode on which other games can apply their particular brand and often feels too generic without this branding or environment. As a part of a grand whole, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Blackout can rely on all the rest of the game – not to mention the entire series – to support it.

The entire map is composed of the previous ones call of Duty Black Ops series cards that will be immediately recognizable by longtime players. The characters of the franchise become avatars of the players. There are even some great Easter eggs from zombies if you head to the cemetery. I did not expect to be attacked by the undead while searching for material and pushing back potential aggressors. the Call of Duty the brand is the true strength of Blackout. It looks like Call of Duty. He plays like Call of Duty. But it's a massive battle mode that jumps on the latest trend of the game, doing it better because it has a long history of Treyarch to support it. That's what it looks like when an AAA developer makes a royal battle game that is part of a larger paying package, rather than relying on the free model to generate revenue.

Must be Call of Duty

I do not think Blackout will change his mind for Battle Royale (it's for another time and for another place), but I can see that the collision of two very popular things is good only for Treyarch, Activision and the players. The reception at Blackout during the beta period was exceptionally positive, both from Call of Duty Royal Battle players and players who have migrated from other games to try this one. There is a lot of potential, and if Treyarch can continue to devote the time and resources they did during the beta, I can see that Blackout has a long line as the third major pillar of Black Ops 4.
