It was revealed today that there will be a new feature in the upcoming Call of Duty Black Ops 3 which should be exciting. It has revealed that the next iteration of COD: BO will have its very own battle royale mode!!!!!!! ( can you feel the sarcasm?). But just like in the popular anime Full Metal Alchemist, there needs to be an equivalent exchange. It appears that Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 WILL NOT have a single player campaign at all or at least at launch.
Confirmed by sources from both Polygon and Kotaku, there will be no single player campaign at launch in October (a full month before it would normally be released). So what could be the issue? According to Polygon:
The sources, who asked for anonymity, said that as Black Ops 4’s release date approached, it became evident that development on the single player campaign wouldn’t be completed.
If you look at the going trend of video games, one would think that this is a clear attempt that they were trying to do away with the campaign altogether, but when you sit back and think about it, this is just a horrific example that AAA developers would rather spend all their time making a multiplayer mode that a majority of players will walk away from after a few months, rather than do what video games does best. That would be crafting an imaginative story to captivate the gamers and let them enjoy something different.
This is terrible news for those players that do like the COD series as since the MWE (Modern Warfare Era), COD has crafted amazing campaign modes that have actually had captivating stories which have won them awards, but hopefully there is a system in place already to get the campaign to those players FOR FREE sometime soon after launch or could this be a bad sign of the imminent future of the COD series and that they just want to be a multiplayer only game or was this just an attempt to forsake a delay just to punch out a profit?. Only time will tell on this but one thing is for sure… STOP WITH THE D@*% BATTLE ROYALE MODES!!!!
