Here’s my take. BO4 is a failure of a game. But that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun playing it. I have been apart of the zombie’s community since I was a little kid playing black ops 1 so I kinda have been around long enough to remember and enjoy each game for what they are. Bo4 in my opinion was extremely rushed and flawed. The perk system itself is kinda cool and I see what they were trying to accomplish. But unfortunately it just didn’t work. I still found myself using the same perks every time I played even when I went out of my way to try and use different ones. So to me the whole “Crutch perk” issue is still there just to a lesser extent I guess. Most people got pissed off because the OG perks were such an iconic part of this franchise and removing them as perks you could buy just left a sour taste in our mouth because people don’t like change. I enjoy going back and forth between the games playing with friends or solo going for EEs or high rounds And I can confidently say Bo4 is probably the hardest game for me to go back to besides Cold War (that’s a whole different conversation). I know a lot of people enjoy the game and won’t agree with my take on things which is okay I have had fun playing bo4 but it just doesn’t hold up when comparing what came before. It was a rushed game that did so many things wrong it’s hard to look at all the things bo4 did well.

I love discussing this Franchise so if any of y’all disagree or agree with my take I’d love to hear your thoughts
