Call of Duty: Blackout might get custom games
What's the story
Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 has already introduced its 'Battle Royale' mode, Blackout.
Thanks to beta testing, the developers are incorporating feedback to improve gameplay.
However, there is a fan request that, until recently, had gone unanswered by developers Treyarch.
Gamers have long wanted the option of custom matches in Blackout and a recent interview with Treyarch's director hints at the good news.
Information
What was said in the interview?
David Vonderhaar, Treyarch's Studio Design Director, said that he hoped it would be implemented and his boss thought it was a great idea. Playing coy, he neither confirmed nor denied it. However, his statement, about there being a vision for custom games, gives fans hope.
Rationale
The need for custom games in Blackout
Fans want custom games for several reasons.
Chiefly, they want to get acquainted with the massive map. With threats coming from players and zombies, it is best to know the surroundings.
Importantly, players can test mode perks, abilities and weapons.
Using the custom mode, as a training ground, will test players' limits and make them more skilled for Blackout's Battle Royale.
Conclusion
So will the prayers be answered?
With no definitive answer from Vonderhaar regarding the inclusion of custom games in Blackout, it is a waiting game for fans.
The developers are likely to make such an announcement closer to the main launch.
However, seeing how Blackout is new to the Battle Royale genre and is looking to draw regular players, the developers are likely to listen to their fans' requests.
