Video Game News: Call of Duty Black Ops Releases Biggest Update - Operation Absolute Zero

Call of Duty Black Ops 4 released earlier this year in October 2018, making over $500 million in its first 3 days. Treyarch made a number of small changes to the COD formula including a higher Time To Kill as well as special Operator abilities which separated Black Ops 4 from other recent entries into the Call of Duty series.

Black Ops 4 has been generally well-received by the community although Activision's over-monetizing looks to be one aspect of Call of Duty that won't change anytime in the future.

Call of Duty Black Ops 4 releases their biggest update so far on their game and their Battle Royale Mode, Blackout. There have been many new weapons, map updates, gameplay updates and updates to Zombies on PC, PS4 and Xbox One.

According to Dan Bunting, Co-Studio Head, Treyarch -“Operation Absolute Zero is a giant community celebration and the next wave in our commitment to make Black Ops 4 the most supported game in our studio’s history. We’re bringing a ton of new content for the entire community to enjoy with Operation Absolute Zero, and we’re also delivering updates to the game across the board that are directly inspired by community feedback that we’ve received since the game’s launch.”
