Black Ops IIII comes with the usual competitive multiplayer modes, including a new one called “control”, as well as the fan-favorite cooperative Zombies mode with three distinct locations. There is also Blackout: a brand new battle royale mode, which pits players against each other on the largest map ever seen in the series, and includes pilotable vehicles and classic weapons from the entire Black Ops franchise.
