When I heard Activision and EA were bringing battle royale modes to their respective Call of Duty and the Battlefield franchises, I wasn't terribly surprised. Playerunknown's Battlegrounds and Fortnite have already proven games built around the battle royale mode can be mainstream hits. Still, the just-released beta for Call of Duty: Black Ops 4's Blackout mode marks the first time one of the world's biggest gaming franchises has taken a swing at this wildly-popular game mode. And after playing a few matches of Call of Duty's Blackout beta, I can say it's good. Really good.

It has all the battle royale elements you expect, plus a couple of cool additions. You start with 80 total players, who dive down to the map in wingsuits, search buildings for gear and then wait for the storm to close in. After a few games, it's apparent there are plenty of weapons, ranging from LMGs and grenade launchers to assault rifles and pistols. The game even has tracking darts and ray guns.
