 ActivisionCall of Duty: Black Ops 4 is the most significant release in the wildly successful first-person shooter franchise in over a decade. Maybe there's something about fourths, because it was Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare that changed what the series was and could be in 2007.

Players experience each of the three main modes in the latest Call of Duty—[Generic] Multiplayer, Zombies, and Blackout—online.
