When reached for comment, an Activision spokesperson said, "We don't comment on rumor and speculation. We look forward to revealing Black Ops 4 on May 17th." The sources, who asked for anonymity, said that as Black Ops 4's release date approached, it became evident that development on the single-player campaign wouldn't be completed. One source said Treyarch has since focused Black Ops 4's development on expanding multiplayer and the series' popular Zombies mode. The source described an emphasis on cooperative modes as a potential stand-in for the typical single-player campaign experience.Click to expand...

A shame.  

Although I didn't buy any of the Black Ops games for their single player, most of them were pretty good.

Uh oh. I bet they'll have a battle royale mode

Now that they're fully embracing the microtransaction model, which took WAY longer than I thought it would take them, idk why they bother with SP at all.

They could easily go the Fortnite route and release completely free and people would buy the hell out of all of the content. That has to be the next evolution of the franchise. Free entry with different "seasons" of content. Basically what Overwatch should have been.

Uh that's a shame. Although if it was going to be Blops 3 quality then we're not missing much. The story has gone rapidly downhill with each Black Ops instalment. Maybe it was time to have a break.

So you're saying I'm not missing much if I don't play 3?

I'm saying you'd be better off doing pretty much anything else with your time rather than playing that. I only slightly enjoyed it because I played it all co-op with a friend.

That's a shame, 1 and 2 were pretty good.

Yep they were. Its just so weird, and it barely makes any sense.

They are making way much more money like this. When they have 20 million people buying the game and then spending money on DLC AND microtransactions it's just much more profitable than going free to play. They are literally making billions each year with this model. Free to play would just not make enough money per user to make up for it

Twitter shows the time of the person who embedded it I believe.

Battle royale would be dumb, so of course they're going to do it
