Call of Duty Black Ops 4 remains one of the most unique COD experiences to date for not only its foundation being a hint of what’s to come for the Warzone era. But, this game also is the 1st & only COD so far, to launch without a single player campaign. Over the past few years, there has been multiple hints of a 2v2 “race to the finish” experience. The past few months have involved me researching & discussing with people inside & out for who knew of this experience known as “Career”.
Leading to a week ago where I released a reddit post that’s been widely covered by Eurogamer, IGN, & many others. This video aims to be an ultimatum to present everything that was learned over these past few months. Thank you for the support & I hope you enjoy.
