Black Ops 4 Won't Have A Solo Campaign, Here's WhyVideo Game News Online, Gaming News


One of our writers has already made clear his opinions on this issue, and if you want to save yourself a click, he thinks it's bullshit. In case you don't know, this years's COD will be the first to not contain a single player campaign, instead, completely focusing on PVP multiplater and the zombies mode, which has a single player challenge mission mode, but still no flat out solo campaign. According to the studio co-head at Treyarch, that was always the plan. 

In a recent interview with Polygon, Bunting had this to say:

“When we set out to make this game, we never started with the idea that we would make a traditional campaign. That was just not part of our plan. We started from a place that we were gonna make a game that across the board can be playable with friends. That’s been our mission from day one.

Of course, through the course of development, as always happens with every game, we’re to challenge our conventions … trying different things. Sometimes those things are bold and crazy and innovative sometimes things work out, sometimes they don’t work out. As development goes on though, you’re always pushing the best ideas forward and that’s what was reflected today.”


“If you look at the Black Ops series and how players have interacted with it, how our players are engaged with our games — changes in the industry around us [are] obviously a big part of it — it’s being more and more experienced as a social thing.
“Of course we have a very large Zombies following with the Black Ops franchise ... and when you look at how they interact with our game, whether it’s in the game itself, online, forums, streamers, YouTubers … everybody’s interacting as a community and it’s a pretty massive phenomenon. When you see that kind of a passion for our game that we feel is potentially underserved, we want to make sure we have more of that. The same is true of multiplayer.”


What do you think about this? Last month, Polygon insinuated that the single player campaign just didn't come together quickly enough, now it seems like they are walking this back, trying to pretend that no campaign was all part of their master plan. I don't think I'm buying it, are you? How do you feel about no campaign? Ripped off? Fine with it? Let me know in the comments.
