Middle-Aged Gamer: The Call of Duty Black Ops 4 Decision

More nonsense from the first world problems of the middle-aged gamer with a dilemma.

Every year we are treated to the “next” version of our favorite franchises. A typical favorite among my peer group is Activision’s Call of Duty; a series we’ve been playing together for well over a decade. If you’ve read my other article Plights of the Middle-Aged Gamer you know that not every version of the series works — and sometimes the platform we play on diversifies which makes it even harder to continue playing as a party.

This leads us with a new problem (first world, plight of the gamer problem).

What do we do about Call of Duty: Black Ops 4?

To better understand the question, let me give you some background.

Console or PC?

There are two issues with Call of Duty games (just COD from now on); Controls and participation.

COD is, after all, a first person shooter (FPS) which demands a mouse+keyboard to play effectively (and competitively) on a PC. We the controller proud have a lot of issues being highly successful on that platform.
