https://charlieintel.com/2018/04/19/rumor-new-call-of-duty-black-ops-4-leaks-indicates-mp-is-similar-to-overwatch/

The leak claims that Black Ops 4s MP is similar to the Overwatch experience, which lines up with information that charlieINTEL has heard about Black Ops 4s MP mode.

The leak also claims that there are some similar elements to the Lawbreakers title, a game which was basically a replica of Overwatch developed by Boss Key. The leak states that Black Ops 4 features a mixture of boots on the ground and advanced movements with many changes to the games core systems.

Heres the full leak that the user posted:

New Multiplayer information has been confirmed by more than one source so I can now talk about that more publicly. As of two days ago Multiplayer was in the worst state you have ever seen a Call of Duty multiplayer mode. Sources who have play-tested the mode claim that it is less like a call of duty mode and more like a Call of Duty Overwatch or a Call of Duty Lawbreakers. The Lawbreakers reference is incredibly apt considering what he told me next. Remember how I said the game was simultaneously boots on the ground and advanced movement? Well I can elaborate on that a little more too. The game was going to take the hero or specialist system from Black Ops 3 and take it to the next level. Perks were basically removed completely, and had instead been morphed into a strange kind of Kill Streak. Normal Killstreaks as we know them, for example harrier jets or chopper gunners, didnt in fact exist in this version of Black Ops 4. Instead you got highly powerful perks. One of which was a Movement Alteration. It literally changed your movement from Boots on The Ground to something very strongly resembling Black Ops 3s advanced movement systems.

This fell flat with playtesters. They didnt like it at all. It was deemed an unfair portrayal of Call of Duty, and something that wouldnt resonate with fans in the slightest. So, as of the last play test, things are changing. Actual Killstreaks are being entered into the game and the hero systems are being scaled back a little bit. What this does mean is that the game is in fact beginning to resemble more and more the state of the game in Black Ops 3. What this means for the future of BO4 I do not know. Currently my information does not stretch to what the mode will become, only to what it very recently was. With the community reveal only weeks away I am truly concerned for Call of Duty Black Ops 4, and even more concerned for Treyarch as a development studio. This is tighter than it has ever been.

lmfao RIP

only way left for them to make money is to remaster MW2
---

The singular feature that this game is going to share most with Lawbreakers is the plummeting playerbase on PC after launch.

It sounds like a shittier version of Overwatch. Why would I play that instead of Overwatch LMAO. Also...

We've heard that Black Ops 4's MP is not modern based, despite some earlier rumors. We have heard game has advanced movement and is not full boots on the ground.

fucking why

How was Lawbreakers a replica of Overwatch outside of being a hero shooter?
In fact, around that time, any hero shooter that got announced was accused of "ripping off" Overwatch.
---

Are they still fucking saying "boots on the ground" about CoD games??

It makes me so frustrated -_-.

Please don't tell me anyone actually believes any of this is true

Wait, wait, they got rid of the perks and the killstreaks...

I mean Black Ops 3 specialists have somewhat like ultimate abilities but it still played a lot like a CoD would.

Pretty much. They are back peddling now after internal play testers told them how fucking dumb that was. I swear... Treyarch was suppose to be the savior... If they don't get this right, which they won't based on this shit show, Call of Duty is finished. They already fucked up with the "lol no MP for MW2 Remastered" and "lol no Campagain" for BO4.

Charlie intel said their own sources confirmed it as well. When it comes to Call of Duty.. Charlie Intel is more credible than anyone else

Lawbreakers had a ton of verticality, overwatch is overrated,

all the CoD devs need to do is release the same fucking game every year with a few different perks or killstreaks and they'll be rolling in money, idk why they even care about mixing things up.

CoD WW2's entire marketing was about how it's exactly like the old games and that game sold like crazy, idk what treyarch is thinking trying to make an overwatch clone in 2018
---

also, it has no single player campaign. at all. multi-player only.

That's why I think they just need to stick with WW2 as the last major release and build multiplayer content off of that with a mixture of paid expansion content and free random map and weapon releases.
But they won't do that.
