Call of Duty without single-player? It's not a devolution, but an adaptation to the changing times and demands of the market, says Call of Duty" Black Ops IIII's studio heads.
The Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Blackout beta is now over, and the general consensus among those who played it is that it’s a highly enjoyable, polished Battle Royale that’s fast, smooth and slick. It’s not without its problems though, with most complaints pointing at the game’s armour system and weapon pickups.

With the decision to nix the traditional single-player campaign though, the mode I’m most curious and excited for is Blackout.

While Call of Duty: Black Ops IIII still has more to offer thanks to a more comprehensive Zombies mode and its multiplayer, it’s hard to justify grabbing the game just for the Blackout mode. Said mode will be up for testing in September however, with an open beta that kicks off on PlayStation 4 first after an August multiplayer beta. What does it look like? Something like this, in this blink and you’ll miss it trailer that hypes the incoming beta.
