Next Call Of Duty Will Feature Story Campaign

Black Ops 4’s decision to not include a single player campaign mode was met with mixed feedback. While many were indifferent to the change and viewed multiplayer as Call of Duty’s most important feature, some were disappointed that the series seemed to be moving away from narrative-driven experiences.
