This mode is a quicker way to play compared to the sometimes long commitment required in the normal Zombies mode. Rush mode in Zombies also adds a new approach to the game with all weapons and ammo being free with the emphasis being placed on kills to grow a multiplier while avoiding being hit. However, that doesn’t seem to take away from the experience of Zombies for me as the maps are so detailed, the gameplay is on point and I can appreciate the work gone in to create the mode objectives. With hidden objectives that need to be done in a set order and progress locked behind certain actions, I have always needed a team to carry me through. I will be upfront that I have always struggled with making my way through the new Zombie style gameplay. Aether is made up of remastered Zombies maps from previous games and Chaos brings new characters and story for you to dive into, what you would have seen in most trailer footage. You have a choice of 2 different storylines to follow, Aether and Chaos. Zombies has evolved so much over the years that the only things that has really remained the same is that zombie sound that we are all familiar with and still scares us each time and headshots are important on the undead! Black Ops 4 Zombie mode continues that development with a great tutorial to get you settled into the game, challenge map objectives to keep you extra busy while you fight off hordes of Zombies and AI teammates. However, timing your ability right can really change the tide of a match. Each class is balanced and suits a different play style so I don’t think there are any issues of being overpowered. It makes you think about when to use your ability, who to partner up with when using it and how to use it to claim an objective. It breaks up the usual gameplay of running around, shooting, respawning and so on. Each of the classes brings something to the team whether that is a recon dart that is a mini UAV, a ballistic shield, a cluster grenade or a killer K-9. The addition of the specialists to the game certainly adds a welcome new style of gameplay. You only have the basics when you first start so levelling up is a must to get the best perks and equipment. I did my normal of making a sprinting class with a sub-machine gun, a typical assault class with an assault rifle and the normally unused sniper class. Once you get to level 5 you can start to create your own custom classes and I would recommend you spend some time setting up each class to how you play and for the different maps. Weapons, perks and other upgrades unlock as you level up and each weapon levels up as you use it.Īs always there is a huge amount of unlocks for each weapon including camos, sights and accessories. You will be welcomed by some old classics such as Firing Range and Summit as well as 10 new maps. The maps are designed to always keep you on your toes, they promote combat and look fantastic. Now that I had a better idea of the different classes it was time to jump into the trusted multiplayer and I can confirm it is everything you would expect. Getting your first star is a walk in the park but it soon gets tougher as your AI teammates are not great but it is a good place to practice using each class and to learn some of the maps. You get these stars by winning the final match on varying levels of enemy difficulty. The Specialist HQ mode also offers the challenge of collecting 3 stars for each different class in their final combat test. You also get taken through each of the multiplayer modes in case you weren’t aware of what a team deathmatch or control game was. I found the mode really helpful in better understanding the different abilities of each class, what their main ability is and how they work in a combat environment. This mode is an offline tutorial with a bit of story added in as you learn about each of the different specialists and their backstory. In short, this game looks as good as we have come to expect from the franchise.Įach mode of Black Ops 4 offers something different so let us start with a mode that I think has been overlooked a lot in the content I have seen and that is the Specialist HQ. The graphics are great, the gun mechanics are on point, the multiplayer matches are quick paced and the cutscenes, few they are, are still beautifully captured. When you get into one of these modes though you get that feeling that you are in a COD game straight away. Of course, the story-following timeline order isn't the only way in which you could play through the Call of Duty games in order.This instalment in the franchise brings what you would expect from black ops, fast-paced multiplayer, terrifying zombies, a host of weapons to unlocks, an amazing single player campaign, no wait I mean a Battle Royal mode! So maybe Black Ops 4 doesn’t have the normal package but is that a bad thing this time around? How to play the Call of Duty games in release order
