Vonderhaar reveals why leaderboards might NOT appear in Black Ops 4 Leaderboards are one of the most request features in Black Ops 4, but it looks like their inclusion in the game isn\u2019t a guarantee. Despite not showing up in the game upon its release on October 12, Treyarch did make good on adding in the requested feature after release. Still missing, though, are global leaderboards (currently you can only compare stats to those on your friends list), and that\u2019s something that might not be coming to the game anytime soon. Treyarch Studio Design Director David Vonderhaar was responding to a fan on Twitter when he provided a grim update for those hoping to see the feature added to Black Ops 4. Not sure. Would have to talk to the systems lead and see where he is at with this one. At the time, many moons ago during the design phase, we made a decision to NOT do it for a few reasons (social, performance, others.) Things may have changed since then, however. \u2014 Lord Vonderhaar (@DavidVonderhaar) November 28, 2018 From the looks of it, leaderboards weren\u2019t much of a priority for the team, with the feature being cut during the design phase. Like many developers these days, putting an emphasis on performance over anything else is the main goal. Given the smoothness of Black Ops 4\u2019s launch, this looks to have been a successful pursuit. Nonetheless, Vonderhaar doesn\u2019t outright say the feature will never be added to the game, assuring the fan that he\u2019d follow up on it with the systems lead. Vonderhaar also made it clear, however, that leaderboards \u201care just stats\u201d and players shouldn\u2019t focus on them too much at the end of the day. You’ll certainly have a clear indicator of rank from the competition and esports features \/ events. Leaderboards are “”just”” stats and anyone who can play a lot to have high stats is not necessarily better, (s)he just has more free time. \u2014 Lord Vonderhaar (@DavidVonderhaar) November 28, 2018 While global leaderboards could, of course, end up in the game one day, it certainly doesn\u2019t look to be much of a priority for Treyarch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
