HELLO NOTIFICATION SQUAD! Drop the video a like if you miss Black Ops 4

One thing i absolutely love about BO4 was the art style. It was vibrant but not insanely vibrant. Keep up the amazing videos Nero!

The thing I loved most about bo4 were the weapons each of them had a unique identity and played differently nowadays all the guns feels the same

Never thought I'd miss BO4 but here I am. I remember having fun this entire year of COD and this was pre covid before my IRL friends played at all. I had fun running randoms and solo games, amazing.

Finally someone giving bo4 The credit is so rightfully deserves

I wasn’t a big fan of Bo4 when it was in its life cycle, but after all of the cod games we’ve gotten since, I appreciate Bo4 more now than I initially did

During BO4's lifecycle i kept telling myself how much im gonna miss this game

BO4 is SO GOOD

One of the few cods that actually require skill with your aim because of the TTK and understanding of the ranges with all of the weapons

One thing I wish Black Ops 4 was able to have was a coherent story. The MP was really fun, but I was left with questions that couldn't be answered: who are the Black Ops and Mercs? Why are they fighting against each other? How does Project: Blackout and the Mason sisters tie into the conflict? If only Treyarch could explore that setting in the Black Ops universe again, great things could come of it, I'm positive. In Treyarch We Trust

This game is amazing super fast and Arcady had great maps and honestly specialists were not that bad

Bo4 has absolutely Incredible. I'm pushing 3500+ hours on it and I still play it regularly. It's the only cod game I've grinded after the life cycle was over. Blackout, the incredible operations, the zombies, even the little things like reactive camos, the aesthetic and art style. All of these things makes bo4 an absolute masterpiece of a cod. Blackout was the only battle royale I think I've truly enjoyed, with the creative mash up of maps from the past, zombies, and iconic weaponry. Bo4 was great, but unfortunately not many others see it that way so I don't think that we will be getting another cod like it.

Yep, I agree. I loved the Multiplayer and Blackout!! Such an awesome game.

I think the 150 health thing was a bit misunderstood. Guns more or less had the same shots to kill as Black ops 2/3. the 150 health just allowed for more variance in tuning damage values for each weapon. It definitely didn't feel like the TTK was 50% slower than previous black ops games, only very slightly.

How Nero feels about BO4 is exactly how I feel about COD WW2. The HQ, the seasonal events, the crazy amount of different game modes, the abundance of things you could earn by just playing the game, playing it the whole year through and into the next games cycle, it was just incredible and absolutely brimming with content and things to do and work towards. And now, yeah, there's nothing to work towards but leveling up yourself and your weapons and getting camos. Whoopee. The only downside to COD WW2 was the small map selection if you didn't have DLC, but they'd occasionally have have gamemodes on a map from one of the DLCs for all to play, also that free summer event sandbox map that was super fun and unique - there were just so many gamemodes and things to unlock that I didn't care all too much though. Definitely a top 5 atleast for me.

Also manual healing in the bo4 multiplayer was a really great idea

The quick stem animation never got old was so satisfying to me

The most time I’ve put into any cod game was in BO4. And it was purely because the game gave me reasons to come back

Hated the monetization but the gunplay was very satisfying.

I'm still playing this on Xbox Series S. Everyone, let's keep this game alive!

I am genuinely happy you made this video and shared this take. I am now redownloading this cause of your video keep it up

BO4 has to be my favorite cod multiplayer. The gun play feels great, the maps has solid layouts and lots of colors, and I actually like the specialists. Earning guns felt rewarding, and every gun felt unique and fun to use.

It’s a decent game now but you have to look at it with the perception from 2018. 1) Predatory black-ops pass 2) unpopular changes to zombies/campaign 3) Most OP dlc guns to date BEFORE you could trade in crates for guns 4) Scorestreaks and specialists were spammy, annoying, or both (ie zero and spectre on launch, torque) 5) Most maps were average/bad or re-used and ruined (jungle flooded, arsenal sandstorm) 6) Blackout was fun, but an obvious unfinished mess with balancing issues on launch to hop on the BR trend 7) attachments were everything in this game, and made ttk’s so inconsistent 8) this game had an awful dlc, like tell me you remember the map Der Schatten So yes, it’s so much better and more stable now, but it neither fulfilled its purpose nor vision in MP or zombies

I still play BO4 all the time. The higher health, manual heal, and specialists make this the best CoD.

I 100% agree. Between MP and Blackout, this game will always hold a special place in my heart. 😢

I’m so happy one of my favorite KZfaqrs shares the same sentiments I do for black ops 4. Absolutely GOATED game my friends and I had the times of our lives on here.

You're one of the only youtubers who agrees with me on a lot of CoD stuff, and it's sad to see that people rarely agree with us

Y’all remember infected mode on blackout during a Halloween special? The waters were blood red, fog on some parts of the map. Definitely one of the most fun times I had on BO4

Amazing vid! Thanks for sharing all your thoughts on BO4, I didn't get to play it so I enjoyed this video a lot! 👍

There were quite a few issues with this game early in its lifecycle (like most CoDs) but over time they fixed a lot of things and gave players the ability to EARN everything. I always have to bring up that Treyarch kinda had to drop support of this game to save ColdWar and feel like we were robbed of a proper setup to or sendoff for the zombies "storyline".

I can’t even think of Warzone without reminiscing about Blackout. That game mode had only one bad thing going for it, that being it wasn’t free to play. The grind was fun, the gunplay, the movement, the skins, the maps, the events and the game modes. It had everything from the start and kept getting better with updates and I miss it. Treyarch poured their heart into blackout and it showed, meanwhile the only good thing I can say about Warzone is that it looks nice.

It's not top 3 overall, but I adore Blops 4 MP. It's probably my favorite post golden era CoD MP and I'm glad to see games like Shatterline and XDefiant innovate on its core MP ideas

Man the nostalgia i had in middle school playing constant hours on a friday night playing black out was the best.

Having 150 health with stims really increased the skill gap. I loved it. Just needed more maps. The maps we got were good tho

BO4 was super fun as hell when they added the no specialists playlist. My only gripe with the game was the combat axe cooldown. If you miss n' die, that's it.. You loose the combat axe and have to wait until the cooldown timer is done. Then you can use the combat axe again. You can't re-spawn with a new one. :(

The Blackout map was gorgeous. Season changes (spring, summer, autumn, winter) were a nice touch. Then events like the blood river and the dam explosion with flooding was great.

I love how people are starting to like this game. I hated the health but still I love to see more people loving this game more

Great video, we need this for every cod

Watching this reminded me.. crash was my go to specialist and used to get my snipers nest off a 5 kill streak, bot days but they wer the days😢

You made me want to redownload and play this again.

Black ops 4 was so underrated it made no sense. I would love to see you make a video of an updated version of your favorite operators in the game.

I still play it rn and the lobbies still feel like they do during it’s lifecycle. I think it’s because of the overall resurgence in older cods lately and Microsoft tbh!! Have had so much fun playing it recently

Black ops 4 competitive scene was great as well. Remember Dashy getting the tempest going crazy not to mention the Faze tiny terrors going crazy.

is BO4 still alive? i been wanting to buy the game again since i cant use disc on series s.

Fantastic video. I absolutely suck at BO4, so this (and BO3) felt very accessible at my skill level. I prestige mastered in zombies, and Blackout was awesome.

I do hope that the call of duty community can have a great game again! There’s nothing like grinding a game for something that makes that achievements worth while!

The shotgun with the flashlight was so OP. I miss this game

Off topic but anyone remember the chicken audio clip that would play when you clicked cancel when entering prestige in MW2?

The maps combined with fog of war is what made Bo4 so good to me. You could always flank around people and it felt strategic running around the maps. Nowadays once the enemy holds a point you have to kill them while they’re headglitched or hidden and have rarely other choices

Great video men! Bo4 zombies is my favorite of all time

Good old days! Been playing this game for 2 years straight and still have left ton of things to unlock. Maybe too many weapons charms and emblems but it was fun above else.

Beautiful video. BO4 is my go-to COD these days. Still grinding and still playing blackout in 2023.

Great artsyle and graphics, easy to see enemies (thanks to their suit lights) that were still coherent with the environment, each weapon felt unique, each weapons' attachments were unique and gave some weapons an alternate use, fantastic gunplay, valued skill or getting the jump on foes, great progression, and blackout easily the best BR. My only real complaint with the MP was the overpowered AI scorestreaks that would snowball into even more OP ai scorestreaks, and the abilities that would increase health even more or grant shields. If those were out, and this game was crossplay, I would still be playing it.

The only specialist that was annoying was the shock stick on wheels, I forget what it's called but that was the bane of my existence on BO4

The thing that sucks is even IF they make another CoD like Bo4... it's only going to be for one year. After the year is up, they'll make a new CoD that plays completely different...

There’s 240 calling card challenges, mastery weapon challenges, 20 DMZ weapon cases to be picked up. now they added the seasonal events to be completed. How is there nothing to do in this game?

Bo4 and blackout are incredible. Still playing Alcatraz to this day. The camos were 🔥

Great vid. If we're doing a top 3 then let me get your number 2 then number 1 cod in this same format!

Loved bo4 played more multiplayer in bo4 than any of the cods. It wasn’t perfect by any means but it is by far the most under rated cod in my opinion

Blackout did have crate drops which had gold weapons that would drop during the game they were a gamble and i can remember having many a fight over a crate it was great

I think BO4 was also the last game where the SBMM was lower, and you could still enjoy the game. Visually, it was awesome. You could see opponents. MW, everything looks the same.

What I love about bo4 is that hardcore was really a different game.

I miss this game bro, we didn't know how good we had it

So glad someone else gets it. Black ops 4 was fantastic. No sbmm, balanced movement, classic prestige system, perfect gunplay, and solid maps. I miss it

Going off the supply drop topic, i think overwatch and apex are perfect examples of how supply drops made the game better, and if implemented correctly, cod can bring them back. Alternatively, they could just edit the trophy hunt event to be a permanent thing in the game, and you use trophies to buy all the items that would normally be in the supply drops

Bo4 zombies kept me occupied almost everyday for like 4 years. There’s so much content and so much to do and learn. It really helped that bo4 had such a good base with all of the weapons being super unique and from each other and not having 97 pointless attachments that make your gun worse. Loved the complicated Easter eggs

I love Black Ops 4. Sadly, I discovered this game like a year or two after its lifecycle, but I loved playing so much more than the recent cod games that I wish I played it during its heyday.

Once you unlocked rapid fire for the 3XB it was lights out!😎✌️

Couldn’t agree more. The last playable cod and the last Call of Duty I played everyday. I miss this game all the time.

Can you still find matches on the dlc maps? I want to buy the season pass

are blackout lobbies pretty full still? may have to cop that

When i think of bo4 i think of annoying specialists, annoying manual healing, and most importantly like no new post launch maps. You said there were 20 post launch maps but i’m pretty sure most of those were just variants arsenal sandstorm, jungle flooded or they made night versions of all the launch maps. For me this was the beginning of the end for cod and it was the first cod with a battle pass which imo is to blame for the basically non existent post launch support

Especially after all the updates to it I loved it so much

The one thing i remember most was having the ability to make anyone throw it back with that twerk emote

Loved Blops 4 when it was in its prime me and the boyz got on every night just like the good old days

Bo4 was just Bo3 but with the devs being less bold and playing it safer as they started to introduce core marketing system of what the future of cod has now currently become

I wouldn't say top 3 but definitely is the best cod we've had since bo3...which was like 7 years ago

This makes me want to dust off my Thermal Titan, Set Up Camp & watch those Score streaks start rolling in!

I agree with you. It's easily in my top 3 favorite COD of all time.

Black Ops 4 zombies and blackout were some of the greatest entries

I’ve been saying this for years. I’m glad you’re spittin facts.

I have a blast for 9 months straight in bo4, I learned the mp maps like I live there 😂😅

Remember when they added Spectre, the 3rd person specialist weapon was dope af, was annoying to die by tho lol

The last gqme with prestige, nornal scorestreaks, rolling lobbies, stuff to grind for other than camos Yeah this games pretty decent Edit: map voting also

Black Ops 4 was the last traditional COD before the new era. I had a great time with Black Ops 4 while it lasted.

It's been a weird era. Hoping treyarchs next cod comes out solid. Cold war was fun but it def felt half baked and was buggy/lacking content at launch. Would really like to see a full strength treyarch game again.

Nero where do you rank Black Ops 3?

Did they fix the Xbox servers? I tried to play this game a few months ago and the servers were absolutely chalked

Bro the fog of war minimap needs to make a return

Generally agree with the specialists argument with the exception of Zero. I definitely enjoyed the game less after her release since it was basically a free destroy/hack of your streaks. The timing was almost always that you'd get the high end streaks just to have them shot down instantly by Zero cause her ult (not earned) was up. Otherwise, agree that BO4 was a ton of fun, great vid!

I still stand on the hill that Advanced Warfare has the best supply drop system because not only with how often you earned them BUT the weapon drop rate was insanely high. I got so many Elite & Legendary guns out of normal AW supply drops

Bro, 100% agree. Everybody overlooks or dunks on BO4, but it was REALLY a solid game. If not for loot box mechanics I think it would be in everybody's top 3. Even the operators weren't nearly as bad as people say. Grav slam sucked, but was rare enough. Spectre was the only "OP" operator, but 95% of players sucked at using him. If I saw a great Spectre player I wouldn't even get mad at losing a killstreak, the good ones DOMINATED and it was cool to watch. Loved playing Crash, used him and Recon every single game.

Totally agree with this. I got prestige master level 200 in this game. First cod ever getting prestige master: loved this game

I remember BO2 days I could tell what gun killed me before I saw the killcam, treyarch does a good jobs giving thier weapons identity. I have Orion for every gun in MW2 and I couldn’t name half of them

Haven't watched it yet but I had have to ask who was between the ages of 12-20 during 2007-2012? If you know you know 😭

Bo4 was the first game I FINISHED the camo grind during its life cycle. Barely remember it though

Never a fan of specialists, but the game in general was just fan to play. Also loved the No aim assist sniping. Made a huge skill gap but something we will never get again with cross platform

Top 3 Cod of all time is wild, but it was a good game. I appreciate the perspective.

Not in my top 3 but definitely one of the better cods. In a time when i thought cod was bad, this was the last great cod.

I still play bo4 to this day. Always defended this game when it came out. Wasn't flawless, but was the last call of duty I seriously grinded on all 3 modes, and to this day its the last fun call of duty that didn't feel like a chore to play. This game was an absolute gem of a game. Its nice seeing people return to it and seeing it age like wine amongst people who may have written it off initially. Awesome video Nero 👊👍
