How do u guys like this compared to Blops 2?

I feel like map design in Blops 2 is pretty good. But I felt it was too small in Blops 3. Any fans wanna give me some insight?

I was pretty excited about the campaign in the run up to release, but having to kill 3 huge robots in a row is just the shitty icing on the shitty fucking cake. The whole thing is a disjointed unfun mess. Which is a huge shame because the multiplayer and zombies are great.

Can someone tell me how far along I am in the campaign.

I know you can look at the mission list, but some might be longer than others.

I just got to the safe house in
Egypt, shortly after planting the spikes in the ground.

I ran into a Confederate Flag that had too many stars than the actual Conf. Flag, so yea. Racism and ignorance still flows well in the CoD community.

The emblem with the KKK member laying fried chicken as a trap is an emblem I saw back in the BO1 days.

You see this happen in ANY game that allows fully customizable emblems or costumes or anything. I've seen it on BF clan logos, Littlebigplanet levels/costumes/stickers, every other game that allows customization. Saying it flows well in a certain community is not a smart thing to say.

Just report and move on, Treyarch is fast on removing the stuff.

I have 12 unlock tokens at lvl 21 but not really sure what to unlock. I'm using weevil atm. Tried gorgon but I don't really like how it handles. Which ARs or SMGs are worth unlocking at that level?

haven't bought a cod since MW2, biggest personal problem with that was the fact that the multiplayer was unbalanced and TTK was higher than COD 4


Advanced Warfare is more than $30 cheaper than Blops 3, which would be the better bet if I was mainly interested in multiplayer?


I'd be playing on ps4 if that has any effect

Definitely get black ops 3 if ur focused on MP

So far, it seems like the Common Supply drops are giving me the most bang-for-my-buck. Opened four so far and each has had at least one rare, and one had a Legendary. Definitely having better luck than with the rare one.

Anyone know if Treyarch is going to be adding more to the supply drops aside from skins and calling cards? I'm surprised there isn't a way to buy cryptokeys with actual currency yet. You'd think 3arc would be all over that.

VMP is pretty good. Also, the ICR is a good AR at those levels.

Thanks! I'll give those a shot. I'm pretty comfortable with the weevil but it doesn't hurt to have a little more variety. I don't have anything else in mind to unlock except the specialists when I reach those levels.

Just like many of us, I find the game to be very high paced and suffer in MP games 😀. Don't know how many of us play private custom games but had a terrific evening with some friends. Filling the missing players with bots was great fun. Great way to get used to the game and learn the maps. There are piles adjustments to tailor the game to your taste. I'm sure after more practice il be more successful in MP games.

Jesus, this game has problems. I had a Dom match on combine where I was at the top of my leaderboard, but it felt that enemies where everywhere all the time. I look at the scoreboard and found the issue.

Our team had five players, their team had 7. That shit is ridiculous.

See this is my worry :(

I keep watching these forums for some feedback. Blops 2 maps are not 3 lanes, which seems to be my major worry about Blops 3.

I think Black Ops III has a fantastic overall selection of maps.

Been a while since I played a decent amount of COD, started off terribly but just got my K/D to 1.00, very happy with that!

Really? Looking at map layouts, Blops 2 feel like they have more small ways around. I mean, there are lanes, but they dont feel as funneled as some of the beta maps.

How are the non-beta maps? Some of them look really great


I really wish they brought back team tactical. I feel like that mode brought out the best competitive aspects of COD

Have Treyarch or fans ever mentioned Team Tactical for Blops 3?

Why didn't you like AW and what makes Blops 3 so much better?
Click to expand...

The exo suit killed the core gameplay, it didn't even feel like CoD to me. Plus technically it was bad, the SBMM was a big mistake and the lag comp was terrible. The weapon balance was really bad as well, everyone used the same guns all the time. I also only liked a few maps. Black Ops III is everything I wanted, great maps, technically solid, great weapon balance and the movement enhances the gameplay instead of ruining it.

And WaW was great!

Black Ops III is one of the best in the series, AW is the worst IMO.
Click to expand...

AW has it's own innovative movement system, better maps, better customization, better campaign. Blops 3 is great, but it just took it's ideas from Titanfall, you can feel it was forced by Activision and that's where it falls short. Hell, just look at the name, black ops 3, why is this called black ops? It has absolutely nothing to do with the black ops series other than Nuketown.

map design was part of why the game was so bad.

Doesn't this take more than a few days to figure out though? Black Ops 3 could very well have the same problems. Is there a demo or something for AW and Black Ops 3?

So the engineer perk is awesome if you focus on shooting down UAV's and counter UAV's. It shows the score streak in red on your minimap.
Click to expand...

intriguing. does this mean you can hack stuff through walls if you have blackhat? this could be a tide turner if you have terrible teammates who is getting your opponents a ton of kill streaks. not so usefully if you're kicking the other teams butt though :)

I would guess about 70% or so done with it.

Yeah, I loved Engineer as soon as I tried it in the beta. Between that and using flak jacket, you'll probably never die to something like the R.A.P.S since you can see them coming. And they shouldn't one shot you with flak jacket on anyway even if you did somehow miss it. I always rack up points whenever someone calls those in.

Lol
AW's maps were mostly fuckin' trash, aside from Detroit and MAYBE Biolab
AW in general was actually pretty trash. Shit balancing, shit netcode, shit killstreaks.

Meanwhile, Black Ops 3 easily has some of the best content in the series. So far I like every map except Hunted, the guns are all viable (except maybe some shotguns), and the netcode is pretty damn tight.

For reference, I've played over 200 hours of AW's multiplayer and averaged a 1.3 K/D. This game so far I've put about 10 hours and I have a 1.2 K/D (but it's steadily rising), and I'm loving it just as much if not more than BO2.

I despised both the maps and the movement system. Worst COD there has been, IMO, at least since the current COD days, (COD 4-now.) as I didn't play much of the ones before them.

It was a complete spaz fest, with people boosting everywhere, pretty constantly. I will never buy another COD featuring exo-movement again, if they ever do it again.

Completely agreed there. I'm so happy I can finally stop having to deal with the damn Bal-27
