CoD: Black Ops 4 for PC features 4K graphics, uncapped framerates, multi-monitor support...

Bottom line: If given the choice (and assuming your PC is capable of running it with all the eye candy on), it’d be tough to choose a console version over the PC counterpart.

Activision has dropped a new Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 trailer highlighting PC-exclusive footage and features.

The Treyarch-developed title on PC will offer ultrawide and multi-monitor support as well as uncapped framerates and 4K resolution support. The game is also designed for mouse and keyboard play, we’re told, and offers extensive control customizations.

Activision says gameplay and gunplay have been balanced for the PC experience but didn’t elaborate on what exactly that means. Creative director and co-studio head Thomas Wilson offered the following when speaking with PC Gamer earlier this month:

“There's a lot of options that players can tweak, such as FOV. One thing we tried to do also is to try to match the mouse sensitivity to games like Overwatch and Destiny 2, both other Battle.net games. That way, there's a natural transition if you're used to playing on Battle.net.”

The Blackout (battle royale mode) open beta for PC begins September 15 on Battle.net. Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 launches on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows PC on October 12.

Call of Duty games tend to be bad on PC, especially after launch. There is no way I'll be picking up a $60 Call of Duty game with no single player. I'm sorry, but I just won't. If the game were like $40, you might have me sold, but then again, I don't trust COD on PC. If they offered the DLC included at $60, I might be convinced, but that will never happen with a COD game.

Also saying it's built for mouse and keyboard just sounds ridiculous. So basically what they mean by that was they have the keys mapped reasonably. It just sounds like a stupid thing to advertise. From my experience, the console versions have always been better in terms of optimizing, but also the player base didn't just disappear like it did on a few of their games on PC.

Same old copy and paste game over and over and over and over, yet people go out and pay for a crap game.
