CoD Cast Members Discuss What the \u2018Blackout\u2019 Battle Royale Mode in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Needs to Compete With Fortnite and PUBG Various members of the \u2018CoD Cast\u2019 hosted by Anthony \u2018NAMELESS\u2019 Wheeler discussed what the \u2018Blackout\u2019 Battle Royale mode in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 needs in order for it to succeed. With the success of titles such as Fortnite and PlayerUnknown\u2019s Battlegrounds in recent months, developers throughout the gaming industry have taken notice of the \u2018Battle Royale\u2019 genre in a big way. Fortnite has established itself as a worldwide phenomenon that has managed to bridge the gap between gaming and the mainstream media like no title before, along with becoming the most popular \u2018free-to-play\u2019 console game of all time after bringing in a staggering $223 million in the month of March alone. More: Call of Duty Black Ops 4 Reveal \u2018Biggest Ever\u2019 Claims Activision, Huge Viewing Figures and Pre-Orders Beating Last Year – Following the \u2018Community Reveal Event\u2019 for Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 in mid-May, it was announced that BO4 will include a Battle Royale mode titled \u2018Blackout,\u2019 featuring weapons, characters, and maps from past installations in one enormous area. When discussing the mode on the \u2018CoD Cast,\u2019 NAMELESS, Dylan \u2018MadCat\u2019 Daly, Joshua-Lee Sheppard, and Matthew \u2018Skrapz\u2019 Marshall considered what Blackout requires in order to contend with Fortnite and PUBG, with MadCat suggesting how it needs something to \u2018stand out.\u2019 \u201cThe BR in Black Ops 4 needs something like the [Fortnite] building. Every BR is going to have kills and whatnot, but it needs its special own feature. Like, you\u2019re driving in H1, you\u2019re building in Fortnite \u2013 you need something special to bring to the table.\u201d More: Splyce\u2019s Bance Experiences the Strangest 1 vs. 1 Loss in History Against Envy\u2019s Decemate in the CWL Pro League – NAMELESS later mentioned how if Blackout can bring a solid, first-person Battle Royale experience, it has the chance to be a huge hit down the line compared to separate games. \u201cThe one thing I will say is PUBG \u2013 a lot of people like that game, right, it\u2019s a big hit \u2013 its first-person isn\u2019t too good. The first-person in that game is kind of messed up, so if the first-person BR factor is dominant in CoD, that could be a really good thing for us. The full CoD Cast can be viewed below, with the \u2018Blackout\u2019 portion beginning at the 5:40 mark.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
