One of the more successful first-person shooters this year was Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. It differs a lot from the previous installments in that it doesn’t have a campaign. Instead, the game is strictly an online multiplayer shooter. This decision has resulted in mixed reviews, but the multiplayer experience is still as good as it has ever been.
Now, thanks to a recent deal from Best Buy, you can get Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 for only $19.99 for the Xbox One and PS4. This is the lowest it has ever been, and now’s the perfect time to act because this deal only lasts for one day. Such a deal is certainly not worth passing up, especially considering how fun this game is.
The developers at Treyarch have a lot to be proud of with this installment in a storied franchise. Taking place of the campaign are several solo missions. They each focus on backstories of the characters featured in the multiplayer mode, referred to as Specialists.
One of the more unique things about this version’s multiplayer is it doesn’t feature automatic healing capabilities. Players thus have to rely on medical packs to stay alive.
It’s a simple adjustment, but one that makes the gameplay more difficult. That’s not a bad thing, either. You feel more meaning behind every tactical action you take. The wrong mistakes will have dire consequences, especially if you can’t find a health pack nearby.
One mode in this game that has received a lot of buzz is Blackout. It’s a battle royale mode. It’s not surprising to see the developers add it to the game considering how popular games like Fortnite and PUBG are. To many people’s surprise, Blackout is a pretty serviceable battle royale. The gameplay is very realistic and you’ll enjoy testing your military IQ until only one soldier remains.
Lastly, a zombie mode was recently added to this game. Many fans were pretty upset when Black Ops 4 didn’t include it at launch. It appears that the developers listened to community feedback and did the right thing.
The mode — called Operation Apocalypse Z — is now live for PlayStation 4 users. Xbox One gamers and PC users will have to wait just a little bit longer to get their hands on this zombie action.
Overall, Black Ops 4 is an incredible game to add to your collection. For just $19.99, you would be hard-pressed to find a better multiplayer shooter. It has everything.
