During its financial conference call for investors and analysts, Activision Blizzard’s Chief Operating Officer, Coddy Johnson, said that the publisher will dedicate significant resources to the PC version of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 in order to offer a great PC product.
As Johnson said:
“This is a game that will push the envelope with innovation. You’ll see that in the core game where we have a number of exciting new developments to roll out soon. But also in the game’s appeal on growth platforms like PC where we have invested significant dedicated resources to ensure we can deliver a great PC game to that community.”
Truth be told, the Call of Duty games have been a mixed bag on the PC. While Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare performed extremely well, Call of Duty: WWII had some performance/optimization issues. As such, it will be interesting to see whether Black Ops 4 will perform better than the aforementioned titles.
Activision will reveal more details about Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 on May 17th, so stay tuned for more!

Well without campaign this garbage game lost all the reason to even own it lol
Still haven’t started the most recent one because they screwed up the key config settings. Loved TNO.
Yes, New Colossus. I believe it was the fact that there was literally no option for Toggle aim or Toggle crouch. Toggle sprint, yea. Cool. But for the 2 movement functions used most? Nothing. Just dumb.
And these were in TNO and Old Blood. Worked great.
Well, I haven’t re-installed it for months. If you say that toggle crouch is in, then they must have added it (and hopefully toggle aim) in a recent patch. And did so without replying to my many forum posts about it, in the process…
Dead franchise
I think with every release on pc they say they’re going to dedicate heavy resources to pc. This is just the usual fluff to get people to remember its another year and with it another COD
While Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare performed extremely well.
Didn’t work so well with my former GPU GTX 670, a little bit better than Black Ops 3, but textures was blurry most of the time
Maybe it was the bugged blurry textures
That should mean something if it’s from high rank representative of Activision.
Pardon me while I lol

Yeah, I think so too. That’s why I upvoted his post before making mine so he would know I took it as sarcasm.
Activision-Blizzard COO Coddy Johnson is also in today’s gaming news for having claimed that Destiny 2’s next paid DLC will be “incredibly engaging” so…
Instead of one guy working on the PC port, we’ll have two, maybe three !
Black ops 3 on launch had riddiculus stuttering it was unplayble for me for the first week till they fixed the ridiculous stutter
i am not gonna shun you for pirating the crappy sp. I wish i was you and didnt have to buy blops 3.

Typical PR BS that they was spreading around BO3 release.
Again they gonna say about PC features like unlocked fps, fov etc. blah blah a basic things that no one give a crap…when meanwhile game will be chocking on PC with limited visuals.
The same was with WW2, a god damn BF1/SWBF2 on the same machine was looking and running better.
Translation:
“We didn’t get enough money from PC with our last game, so we’ll try to make it look like we care, in the hopes we’ll get that extra cash we think we deserve”.
It’s going to be multiplayer only based, so all they are doing is selling yet another CoD game, but this time without any SP in it, and a short expatriation date and no private servers to keep it alive.
They have to do this kind of stuff. It gets uncomfortable when the market’s tastes haven’t changed much but devs and publishers have to act like their “new” product is somehow improved. It’s just the set dressing that people complain about. Has the gameplay of any of the CODs differentiated from each other? Not really. It’s all pretty much “tag” but with guns. There’s not really been any innovation beyond some gimmicky, superficial stuff. 20-something CODs and it’s still a pretty simple FPS at heart.
I think commentators here need to be aware of the context of how CoD PC ports were handled after CoD4 before dismissing Coddy Johnson. Preface: CoD4 was pretty much the last of the best PC versions of Call of Duty, but that doesn’t mean they all got worse. Anybody familiar with Treyarch’s breed of CoD knows that @PCDev has slowly become more competent at trying to compromise a happy medium between Activision’s desire to close down the game for $$$ and what players want.
Black Ops 1 on release was a dumpster fire, but eventually they fixed most of the technical issues and even implemented very basic mod tools after alot of red tape from Activision. Black Ops II was a great PC port that ran and played great. Black Ops III not only brought back mod tools (w/ Steam Workshop support), but also features custom maps (!), true splitscreen and multi-monitor local multiplayer across all gamemodes, post-launch LAN suppourt and the game runs relatively well after the first few weeks of patches. In my opinion, @PCDev has done everything he can to try to make CoD on PC as great it can be.
There is nothing wrong to be skeptical about Activision’s promises, but considering the history of Treyarch’s PC versions of CoD, I believe is is reasonable to give credence to what Coddy Johnson is promising.
True, Treyarch has always had the best post-CoD 4 CoD PC games, but that’s really not saying much, considering how buggy their games have been at launch in general.
I hated black ops 3 bland boring arena shooter campaign and its the call of duty that ran worse this gen on my pc all others ran pretty good(at least the campaigns i did not buy a cod game since modern warfare 2)
From what I recall either Blops or both Blops and Blops 2 also had serious issues at launch. Nothing on the same level as Ghosts, sure, but still.
So… dedicated servers and server browser? /s
“I’ll make a good PC port for ONE MILLION DOLLARS!”
Yeah yeah . We heard that before
so like….every years promise?
Don’t make the game full of DLC’s, or lootboxes and that’s enough lmao.
