  But digital marches forward

  Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 set a new global sales record on the PlayStation Store at launch, while its first weekend at UK retail represented an 11 year low for the franchise.

  Hands On Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Is One of the Best Multiplayer Games This Generation

  The king is back

  It's completely understandable for you to be sceptical of the reviews that have dropped for Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 so far, as it's a series that has stagnated somewhat during the PlayStation 4 generation as fans fight for the return of more grounded combat while studio heads offer more and more means of mobility. Call of Duty:...

Patches weren’t a thing when I was...
