Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 was kind of a mixed bag. Audiences panned the 2018 game for its lack of a single-player campaign. Critics also did not care for the way Activision Blizzard and Treyarch structured the microtransactions. This showed up in the numbers as well. Black Ops 4 posted the lowest physical retail sales in the series in a decade. Yet, the game had the highest digital sales.
This confusing reception might have been what convinced Treyarch to go back to the early 1980s after bringing back the single-player campaign for 2020's Black Ops - Cold War.
But, as it turns out, Black Ops 4 did not need to "suffer" as much as it did. New details claim that Treyarch had a complete single-player campaign ready for Black Ops 4. The latest info contains everything from the plot and mission designs, which are far too elaborate to be a hoax.
According to the lengthy Reddit thread by u/Purpletoaster20, the intel comes from months of research and talks with "people who have inside knowledge of this month." They added that the post contains images from early 2017 builds and served as an "early prototype for Specialist HQ that was created long after the original game's cancellation."
