Treyarch is getting ready for the launch of Call of Duty Black Ops 4 a little later this year, and as such, they’re holding special betas to make sure that certain things are going to be ok for when the game goes live, and one of the biggest things is for the multiplayer, of which the whole game is centered around. A beta was held recently for the main multiplayer modes, and Treyarch took to Reddit to let people know what the results of it were.
With Black Ops 4 Multiplayer, one of our biggest priorities has been to add depth to gameplay for an experience that will be more rewarding the longer you play it: we’ve added variety to combat, increased differentiation in gameplay items, extended counter play, and tightened the nuances of movement and gunplay. What you played in the Beta was an early version of all those changes working together for a game that we hope you found both familiar and new, challenging and rewarding, and fun for casual and competitive players alike. There is a meta to the game that will unfold over time, so we took a slightly conservative approach to changes in the Beta until all the gameplay data had been reviewed and digested. Now, we have a wealth of information and are excited to get to work polishing the game for launch.
Many topics were discussed, including Fog of War, Tac-Deploy, Armor, and more. And Treyarch says they’re going to use all the info they now have to ensure Black Ops 4 is even better than ever:
The Beta gave us a tremendous amount of feedback – it showed us what needed to be tweaked, tuned, modified, and analyzed further. What has been great is how constructive and articulate you’ve been. This is after all, why developers have betas in the first place.
The game comes out October 12th.
