Treyarch States CALL OF DUTY: BLACK OPS 4 "Blackout" Mode Will Be Balanced
The newest Call of Duty game, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, is getting closer and closer. Interviews are popping up and giving new information on the battle royale mode for the game. Here is the latest.
The Battle Royale game mode is so hot right now. When Fortnite came out, more and more companies decided to take this gener for a spin and Call of Duty is no exception. When COD: BO4 announced they were making a battle royale mode, Blackout, fans went crazy. Many people were blaming them for copying other games but when the trailer came out, minds were changed.
PC Gamer sat down with Treyarch and Beenox and had them shed some light on the new BR game mode.
"It's easy to understand why people see it as a patchwork, but all of the maps are built seamlessly together," said Thomas Wilson. "The environments are all inspired by classic maps, and you'll see moments from Firing Squad and Nuketown in there, but it's not like we just dropped them right next to each other and glued them together. It is still very much an environment build for Black Ops."
This game mode promises a ton of options for players. You can go high and roam the skies or go low and explore the sea. Here is more on the various things players can do.
"There's a range of vehicles that I think are well-balanced to match with the on-foot combat. It isn't like you're driving a tank, trying to fight against a dude with a scavenged submachine gun. They're all well-balanced. We've been having a lot of playtests at Treyarch over the last several months getting ready for this, and it's a blast to play. It feel great. It feels like Black Ops."
