Selvom den formelle afsløring af Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 først sker i næste måned, så lader det ikke rigtig til at Activision og Treyarch kan holde tæt omkring spillet. Masser af detaljer er sluppet ud, og selvom denne seneste rapport naturligvis ikke er blevet bekræftet, så lader flere troværdige medier til at mene at der er hold i den.
Twitter-brugeren Matt Harris har nemlig skrevet en større rapport på Twitter, og denne er blevet bakket op af Charlie Intel. Her forklarer han at Treyarch er kommet i problemer, efter et nyt fokus på helte, lidt ligesom Specialist-systemet i Black Ops 3, ikke er gået godt hos diverse testere.
Angiveligvis skulle den almindelige multiplayer-del have taget en del inspiration fra Overwatch, og nu skulle Specialist-systemet nærmest ligne helte, præcis som i Blizzards skydespil, eller sågar Lawbreakers. Treyarch kæmper åbenbart for at tilbageføre en række af ændringerne.
"As of two days ago multiplayer was in the worst state you have ever seen a Call of Duty multiplayer mode. Sources who have play-tested the mode claim that it is less like a Call of Duty mode and more like 'Call of Duty Overwatch' or 'Call of Duty Lawbreakers.' The Lawbreakers reference is incredibly apt considering what he told me next. Remember how I said the game was simultaneously boots on the ground and advanced movement? [...] The game was going to take the 'hero' or 'specialist' system from Black Ops 3 and take it to the next level. Perks were basically removed completely and had instead been morphed into a strange kind of Kill Streak. Normal Killstreaks as we know them, for example harrier jets or chopper gunners, didn't in fact exist in this version of Black Ops 4. Instead you got highly powerful perks. One of which was a Movement Alteration. It literally changed your movement from Boots on The Ground to something very strongly resembling Black Ops 3's advanced movement systems.
This fell flat with play testers. They didn't like it at all. [...] So, as of the last play test, things are changing. Actual Killstreaks are being entered into the game and the hero systems are being scaled back a little bit. What this does mean is that the game is in fact beginning to resemble more and more the state of the game in Black Ops 3. What this means for the future of BO4 I do not know. Currently my information does not stretch to what the mode will become, only to what it very recently was."
