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.

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.
