Call of Duty Black Ops 4 Battlenet exclusive, also Battle Royale announced.

Companies like Activision will follow where money flows. Right now spending millions and huge amount of resources for a single player mode even with casting of Hollywood stars does not make sense. Fortnite makes millions daily

I mostly buy CoD games for the single player, so I'm not interested. It being only on Battle.net doesn't bother me however.

For more than 10 years I've been a Battlefield player. And I'll remain to be.

Voted "Not at all". I will never understand the mentality of those that voted "would be, but it isn't on steam".

Maybe it's just because I love playing as many games as possible, but restricting yourself to a single platform seems very counter productive as a gamer.

I am surprised it took them this long to finally ditch Steam. I also expect Bethesda to put TES6 on their own launcher as well when they release it around 2025. Steam has been gradually turning into a worse version of itch.io for 2-3 years by now, I guess once even UbiSoft realises that it is pointless to sell there, Valve can finally realise its real goal and turn into a lootbox exchange service for a few games and leave behind this pesky store business.
And yes, as a few others said, totally called the battle royale mode. Also expecting it to pop up in the next Battlefield.

Good riddance!

could not care less bout CoD game...

Most of the people I know that play Call of Duty games don't really do the single player campaign, they get it for the multiplayer. This new article from from VG247.com mentions that only 4% of Black Ops 3 players finished the single player campaign. If that's the case then it kinda makes sense from a development standpoint on why they would want to put all their time and resources into multiplayer.

Hey, let's bump this with some more news about the game.

Yes, there will be new maps added to the game after launch. Yes, you'll need to get the Season Pass to get them. (I'm calling it for what it is, Activision thinks "Black Ops Pass" sounds better.)
No, there are no overpriced map packs this time around, just an all or nothing deal. To top it off, you need to get one of the special editions to get the pass. Or wait and buy it at an unspecified later date.
Apparently fans of the franchise are pretty pissed off about this.

I just saw this. I've been working through my backlog and am currently playing Infinite Warfare and Modern Warfare Remastered with WWII next in line. After receiving an email from Humble a few moments ago announcing Black Ops IIII pre-orders going live I noticed it's only for battle.net and will not have a campaign or Steam version. I've literally purchased every single Call of Duty since the original solely for the campaigns. Without Steam and a campaign this will be the first one I skip. :(

who want to buy Call of cheaters???? i mean if i need to pay 100$ (for a full game with DLC....., i mean for a full game) for play a game full of cheaters..... i will stay with cs:go
