Will 2018 end with Activision making enough cash to purchase the moon when Call of Duty Black Ops IIII launches? Probably! This year however, Call of Duty is changing its approach, ditching the single-player and doubling down on multiplayer.

At E3 2018, I got the chance to briefly grill game designer Matt Scronce and senior producer Yale Miller for some answers regarding Blackout, and what exactly Treyarch is aiming for with this ambitious entry into a highly competitive genre with this year's edition of Call of Duty Black Ops IIII.

No one expects the high-action antics of Call of Duty to translate into a realistic movie. Director Stefano Sollima wants the movie to feel as real as possible though.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 feels like a familair shooter from a time where the franchise wasn't overly complex, despite featuring some big changes to its core speed and gunplay.

Call of Duty Black Ops IIII may be ditching single-player this year in favour of a more tightened-up multiplayer, zombies and battle royale experience, but at least one traditional component is going to remain inside of Treyarch’s signature series: Nuketown!

Despite reports stating the contrary, Black Ops IIII never had a traditional campaign that was eventually cut out. Instead, Treyarch never had one to start with.

For the first time ever, Call of Duty is skipping its bombastic weekend mode campaign, as developer Treyarch focuses all of its attention on its other gameplay options such as solo stories starring the multiplayer specialists.

Revealed last night at the Black Ops IIII event in sunny Los Angeles, developer Treyarch’s take on the battle royale mode is called Blackout. All the action that you’d expect of Call of Duty, spread across a wide map, characters and plenty of weapons. Well, minus the massive player count, because Treyarch is undecided yet on just how many players it’ll allow into any given session of Blackout.
