The newest Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 trailer, focused on the upcoming multiplayer beta, features a new look at gameplay from Black Ops 4's battle royale mode, Blackout.

A battle ensues and after a brutal sniper shot and an RPG shown hitting the helicopter, it cuts to the Blackout logo, saying a beta is coming in September.
