Call Of Duty: Black Ops 4 Beta - 4 Ups & 5 Downs

2. Assists Now Count As Kills

Since its first unveiling, Black Ops 4 has endured Overwatch comparisons. The quickfire one-button specials, superheroically-tinged matches and implementation of Specialists as the game's "heroes" all draw corollaries to Blizzard's masterpiece (despite the latter originating in Black Ops 3).

However, one thing that's straight-up coming across from that game is how Overwatch handles assists - in that they get counted as kills for each player.

It's a way to maintain engagement and positivity when playing; a more steady feedback loop that just feels better in a match than constantly getting kicked back to the kill-cam/respawn screen.
