Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 will feature a Fortnite-style battle royale mode

After announcing the game back in March, today, Activision has finally provided a glimpse at the next Call of DutyCall of Duty: Black Ops 4 (unfortunately styled “IIII”) will ditch the series’s traditional single-player campaign, and instead focus on multiplayer. (There will still be narrative elements, but they will be weaved into the multiplayer modes.)

That multiplayer focus will include the now-standard “zombies” mode, as well as a brand-new addition: “blackout,” a Black Ops take on PUBG and Fortnite-style battle royale. The mode will pull characters and locations from previous games in the subseries, take place in what Activision describes as the biggest map ever featured in a Call of Duty game, and include ground, air, and sea vehicles.
Meanwhile, here’s a look at the more traditional multiplayer mode:
According to an Activision source, the multiplayer focus of Black Ops 4 doesn’t indicate a shift for the series as a whole. Instead, it’s a change specific to this year’s game, indicating that future Call of Duty titles will return to the bombastic cinematic single-player modes players are used to. To make up for the absence of a traditional campaign, Black Ops 4 will feature three different “zombies” experiences when it launches. That includes a brand-new storyline separate from past games, and what appears to be elements pulled from Gladiatorand Titanic... for some reason. Here’s a look at two of the zombie experiences:
In another series first, the PC version of Black Ops 4 will follow in the footsteps of Destiny 2and utilize Blizzard’s Battle.net online infrastructure. (Blizzard is also owned by Activision.)
The game is being developed by Treyarch, which released Black Ops 3 in 2015, and it follows last year’s throwback Call of Duty: WWIICall of Duty isn’t the only big-name game getting unveiled in the weeks leading up to E3, which kicks off next month in Los Angeles. Earlier this week, Bethesda officially announced Rage 2, and on May 23rd, EA will provide the first look at Battlefield V, with an event hosted by The Daily Show’s Trevor Noah. Square Enix, meanwhile, has been steadily dripping details about the next Tomb Raider, which launches in September.
Black Ops 4 is launching on the PS4, Xbox One, and PC on October 12th.

NBA star Sterling Brown Tasered in arrest | Police apology as video shows

NBA star Sterling Brown Tasered in arrest | Police apology as video shows  An NBA player has received an apology from the Milwaukee police chief after his arrest over an alleged parking violation in January escalated into the use of a stun gun. Sterling Brown, a Milwaukee Bucks player, said the incident was "an attempt at police intimidation" and that it "shouldn't happen to anybody". Police chief Alfonso Morales said some officers had been disciplined over the incident as the force released body-camera footage which showed how an interaction over an illegally parked car rapidly escalated. It began at around 2am on 26 January in a Walgreens car park when Brown walked out of the store to find an officer standing by his car asking him for his driver's licence. The video shows Brown telling an officer not to touch him as he approaches the passenger door of his car. "Back up! Back up!" the officer yells. "For what? I ain't d...

Former Playboy centerfold falls to death with son after checking into New York hotel A woman and her 7-year-old son fell to their deaths at a Manhattan hotel Friday morning, police said. Investigators have yet to determine whether it was a murder-suicide or an accident. Police officials told the  Associated Press  the dead were Stephanie Adams, 46, and her son, Vincent. Adams, a former Playboy model and author, had been locked in a custody battle with her estranged husband, her former attorney, Raoul Felder, told The Washington Post on Friday.

Chelsea 1-0 Manchester United | Chelsea Beat Man United To Win The FA Cu...

Chelsea 1 Manchester United 0 RECAP as Eden Hazard wins FA Cup for Blues at Wembley The Belgian was hauled down by Phil Jones and picked himself up to convert the penalty in what could be Antonio Conte's final match in charge Eden Hazard fired  Chelsea  to FA Cup glory against  Manchester United  as Antonio Conte's expected farewell ended with a memorable triumph against old foe Jose Mourinho. The 137th FA Cup final - and first utilising a video assistant referee - was not as cagey as some had feared but was hardly a rip-roaring affair as the Blues looked to atone for last season's shock finale defeat and a tepid Premier League title defence. Mourinho came into the match looking to frustrate his former club and write his name into the record books, but Conte - subject of so much speculation regarding his future - emerged triumphant as Hazard's first-half penalty secured a 1-0 win at Wembley. Many had fancied United to win a record-equalling 1...
