What do I like about this game?

- Zombies is just about the only reason to buy this game on PC at this point.
- Multiplayer is practically non-existent in any region other than NA. But if you manage to find a game, it's extremely fun.
- The campaign is playable, aside from the story being completely defunct and straying heavily from what people actually enjoy about the Black Ops series. Aside from that, it's the last Black Ops campaign in the series so enjoy it while you have it.
- The engine is beautiful, albeit terribly optimised for anything other than the PS4.
- The Zombies storyline is the most compelling yet, and exceeds Black Ops 4 by far.

What are my problems with this game?
- Multiplayer is practically dead. I loved this game on PS4, sinking almost 40 days into it before moving on to the next release. The Multiplayer was the most fun in years, and although the Supply Drop system was dreadful, you could still get almost everything just by playing so I didn't mind too much.
- Campaign was a massive waste of time. Realistic difficulty is probably the only reason you would want to try this out. The story is dreadful, the playable character is actually named 'Player' in the subtitles, which I found to be so transparent to the fact that there was absolutely no thought put into the writing, and there is way too many collectables to find without a guide. I feel like it could be fun if you were playing with 3 other people, but with this game staying at its full release price, I don't have enough friends willing to buy it.


Performance

My Basic Specs:
- Intel i7 7700K
- Gigabyte AORUS GTX 1080ti 11GB
- 16gb Corsair RAM
- Windows 10 Pro x64

This game runs like ass. For some reason, most AV programs block this game from starting, (To fix this, allow your steamlibrary folder as an exception in the AV program)
Razer programs also cause problems. I disabled any I had prior to starting the game, which seems to work in the long term.

Sitting at high settings, 130% scaling, with 100FOV, I sit around 70-75FPS most of the time. I don't really find much of an issue with this, as most custom maps don't really do anything too big that would cause my performance to drop too much.

I have noticed minor crashing whenever you exit a custom game of zombies, however, that is probably just the game's way of exiting the mod safely.


Conclusion

If you're into zombies at all and have a PC strong enough to run this game comfortably, I'd say buy it. Activision rarely allows their games to go on sale so you might be waiting a while for that. The Summer Sale is coming up soon though so keep an eye on it.
If you're into anything other than that, maybe skip this one and buy Infinite Warfare, or even Black Ops 4 on the Battle.net launcher.

So the premise sounds cool, but in reality, this just seems like another Overwatch clone. Graphics are decent and I was able to play on Ultra at 150% while sitting around 90FPS, so decently optimised. As for gameplay, you have your standard Sniper, 'Soldier with Auto Rifle', Big shielded enemy, Grenade launcher, Big guy with flamethrower, and the Medic.

Everything seems to be poorly translated from Russian, which is odd, considering this entire store page is in English, with no real mistakes. Apparently doesn't support English though, even though all the main parts of the game are in readable English.

Considering the servers are apparently all in Asia, Europe and Russia, I had hardly any noticeable lag while playing, with all my shots connecting where they should.

I will recommend this game if you enjoy Overwatch, Paladins and TF2;
If not, probably don't bother. It is free though so that's a plus.

Disclaimer;
I played 1 game in Quickplay, and didn't overly enjoy it.
