After 3's absymal campaign, 4 felt like a breath of fresh air.

4 didn't have a campaign at all, and it was the absolute nadir of brainless 3-lane coverless map design. It's like the game was made by somebody who resented the existence of COD.

I never bothered with Black Ops 4 on the grounds of it not having a campaign. The series had it from the very beginning, and I wasn't going to support a game that could risk convincing Activision to drop it entirely.

I'm saying that after the horrible single-player from BO3, Black Ops IV having no single player was the least of its concerns in my eyes.
 
Black Ops 4 was a bunch of reused assets from BO3 because they wasted all their time on the Battle Royale mode.

Probably. I'd say Brothers in Arms if a sequel ever happened, but who knows how Gearbox would do it in light of Vanguard and BFV...

You're more worried about Vanguard and BFV and not Gearbox itself? My man, there's bigger concerns at home there.

gearbox is now part of embracer, if they ever do another BOA (doubtful, they probably don't even remember they own that franchise) I'd assume embracer will reign in some of their more retarded shit, considering how they handled things so far.

We'll see. But this is Current Year so I'm not exactly optimistic.

I found a worse take than liking Black Ops 4. Watch Griffin Gaming call a WW2 gun expert a "redditor" for complaining about Vanguard's lack of historical accuracy.

That's not just some "gun expert", that guy is the curator for one of the largest firearms museums in the world and has written books on the subject. He's not some random guntuber with a C&R license talking about his mosin.

According to that guy, he should "touch grass." God, what a comeback.
 
I found BO4 zombies quite enjoyable. Sure, it's not great but it's definitely not horrible either. It's criminally underrated in my opinion.

I find it annoying when people sperg out over minor details, like "APPARENTLY THESE RETARDS DIDN'T REALIZE THIS VERSION OF THE THOMPSON CAME OUT 2 YEARS LATER AND COULD NOT POSSIBLY HAVE BEEN AT IWO JIMA." You can tell when people were genuinely trying to get the weapons right and might have made a couple mistakes, and when they just flat-out did not give a flying fuck about anything. Vanguard's firmly in that latter category.

I remember Black Ops 1 had several historical anachronisms with its weapons. Very few noticed as the game itself was immersive with its time setting.

It actually ruined the time setting for me. The game was supposedly set in the mid to late 1960s, but most of the hardware, not just the guns, was from the late 70s and early 80s. Some of it was even from the 90s. I mean they weren't off by a year or two. The most annoying thing about it is there is more than enough period-appropriate military hardware to populate their game with as many guns as they wanted, so I was kind of disappointed by just how not-at-all-60s the whole aesthetic was.

The supposed story there, though, is that Activision wanted Treyarch to make a MW2 clone, but told them to set in the 1960s to avoid a lawsuit. They got sued anyway and settled out of court for an undisclosed sum.

I heard the original Black Ops was supposed to be in the 80s, but something changed mid development. What if Cold War was meant to be the original?

I guess I was a dumb kid back then that didn't think about its accuracy.
