Call of Duty Esports

In Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, the multiplayer and Blackout modes feature an entire dramatic plot line involving an anonymous mercenary group out to kill those involved in Project Blackout. The other Zombie mode covers a much more basic storyline of a rising zombie apocalypse. As mentioned above, this is a first-person-shooter game and in such games, there is usually a single enemy or a group of enemies that require strategic takedown.

There are several different maps in the game, including Morocco, Seaside, Contraband, Payload, Summit, Slums, Frequency, Firing Range, etc. A lot of these maps have been carried on from the previous installments of the series, but many new maps have also been introduced.

In Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 esports, a pro-player can be easily differentiated from a mediocre player. A pro-player will have a clear-cut strategy and will know what their contribution to the team is. A pro player will also get the job done without hesitation and they will understand when attacking is feasible and when it’s better to remain covert. An average player will not have such an understanding and will go into the game guns blazing.

This game is the first installment in the Call of Duty series that has not included any single player game modes. It is also the first installment to introduce 4 new specialist characters.

COD Inventory System

The main in-game currency, available in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, is called COD points. This is microtransaction money that can be used to buy tires and Special Orders from the Black Market within the game. COD points also allow players to attain Nebulium Plasma, which can be used to unlock different items in Zombie mode. COD points can be obtained by buying them with real money.

Call of Duty Meta

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 is a multiplayer game and because of this, the most effective tactics available in this game include the strategic selection of specialist characters for your team along with effective team planning and strategizing. Selecting the specialist characters for your team is significant towards making or breaking your entire strategy and it is best to choose specialists that your team is familiar with, otherwise, a lack of knowledge will mean your team members will be unable to follow through on the strategy created around the specialist characters.

The strategies your team applies is another crucial factor because your strategies need to be based on the specialist characters your team and the opposing team have selected. Additionally, specialist characters should be picked based on the player’s skill and familiarity with a certain specialist, though certain strategies and situations may call for seemingly counterintuitive decisions.

Your game’s meta can be put at risk if there are new updates made to the game that you did not have the time to practice or if even a single player on your team is not aware of the strategies being applied or if they did not have enough time to practice.

Call of Duty Team Composition
