We previously ranked Black Ops' campaign as Call of Duty's best, and we stand by it today. Black Ops' multiplayer is just as iconic and some of the maps, including Firing Range and Nuketown, are still favorites in 2024 as they have been brought forward multiple times.
Verdict. In lieu of significant innovation, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4's Blackout instead presents a remarkably polished and intuitive take on the basic battle royale formula with a first-person shooter focus.
