Leaked Black Ops 4 gameplay reveals canceled campaign TreyarchAlthough Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 didn\u2019t feature a campaign, new footage has surfaced online revealing what the single-player story mode was going to look like before it apparently got scrapped. There were a lot of things in Black Ops 4 that made it unique from other Call of Duty titles, such as the manual healing in multiplayer, and the first-ever CoD battle royale, but what maybe stood out the most was that the game, for the first time in franchise history, didn\u2019t have a campaign When discussing that decision, developers Treyarch said there weren\u2019t any plans for such a mode, and that they prioritized the online aspects of the game, such as multiplayer and Blackout. However, since then, it\u2019s become evident that a campaign was in the works, at least at one point, before it was dropped due to it being too big of a project to see through. On May 25, over a year-and-a-half after the game\u2019s release, we finally have a look at what that was going to look like, thanks to some new gameplay that was leaked on Reddit. At the beginning of this footage, the player is tasked with \u201cfinding the Aquilus CEO,\u201d and they must wade through a crowd of panicking civilians who seem to be in the midst of some sort of disastrous attack. Other objectives that pop up on the screen throughout this gameplay are \u201csecure the restaurant,\u201d \u201csecure the courtyard,\u201d and \u201cneutralize hostiles and secure VIP.\u201d This was clearly taken from an early stage in the campaign\u2019s development, as the graphics are not sharp at certain points, and there are a lot of character models that are incomplete. Those who have played Black Ops 4 multiplayer will instantly recognize the setting to be a map called Seaside. In fact, almost everything on the screen looks very similar to the MP layout, including the health bar, Specialist abilities\/equipment, and the weapon information. According to the leaker, this was by design, as Treyarch wanted there to be some sort of crossover between the campaign and MP, and making the experience and feel of the two similar was part of that effort. \u201cI believe the mechanics of the campaign was going to be very similar to the multiplayer, which makes sense honestly,\u201d the Redditer wrote. \u201cAlso notice the \u201cFind the Aquilus CEO\u201d notification at the top when the video starts? I think they really had a huge storyline here.\u201d The leaker also mentioned that they\u2019re in possession of additional gameplay from this mission, as well as footage \u201cshowcasing augmented impact effects within the BO4 engine,\u201d although they\u2019re not going to be posting those just yet. Sadly, we will never see what the final outcome of this story mode would have looked like, and the game still remains as the only CoD title ever to not feature a campaign.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
