I had the digital version pre-downloaded this whole week, but now I am able to download Nuk3town from PSN.

 

[Josh5890]

I just got back from Best Buy with my PC copy. 6 fricken discs! Holy cow the price of staying physical.

Anyway my Steam info is http://steamcommunity.com/id/josh5890/ I probably won't be on for a while since I have to install it.

If Black Ops 3 ends up with a lower overall rating than Ghosts then all of the review sites will instantly lose all credibility with me.

I liked Ghost but ya this is better. By a fair margin.

 

[Roussow]

Does the zombies mode have any matchmaking?

 

[Pics_nao]

Restart the game sit at the title screen don't press x and wait for the version number to update. My ps4 got really loud and it took 30 seconds or so.

Oh sweet. Thanks.

Nuketown Link for a new page.

The beta showed that it was already 10x better than Ghosts/AW which had 2 of the worst multiplayers in the series and having played the game for like 3 hours tonight I can reconfirm this. (Multiplayer talk only here)

Thanks. I only played the campaign in AW but I thought people liked the MP in it.

 

[Jblanks]

I preordered and no Nuketown not that I like it anyways.

Check PS Store ?

Ok, multiplayer wise I loved Modern Warfare 1/2 and enjoyed BLOPS, but hated Advanced Warfare, what do you think, will I enjoy this?

Nothing new with online game launches, folks.

How many AAA games have you played online on launch day that had 100% uptime with no connection issues?

Halo 5's multi was pretty spotless during release.

Can't decide whether to pick this up. I'm pretty busy with Halo, but CoD always scratches a particular itch.

 

[Jeffolation]

After a small download, I'm in. Ver. 33.1.9.1 - PS4

How did you get this to trigger? Checking for updates, I'm still at ver 3.0

All the prior Call of Dutys? lol

I forgot could you see your legs in AW? Or is this the first one to let you see your legs?

That's crazy. That's like going from the majors down to the little league.

 

[Karak]

I think you will. It removes some of the oddness of AW like that twitchiness people seemed to complain about. Also, at least to me the TTK was just about right and the classes are very cool.

 

[Elitist1945]

I believe this is the first one, and its a welcome addition.

 

[Frozenprince]

Alright so I'v played one match so far, and in that one match I'v had more fun than any I ever had with AW.

This game is awesome.

It is basically Black Ops 2 in terms of feel and map design with the added element of wall running and supers from Destiny. If you like Blops 2 you will probably like this as the movement is far less intrusive than AW leaving combat feeling more grounded and like oldshool Call of Duty. The Specialists don't feel to unfair yet, definitely not as bad as Destiny supers.

 

[shanafan]

Restart the game sit at the title screen don't press x and wait for the version number to update. My ps4 got really loud and it took 30 seconds or so.

Thanks. I saw the number change after waiting like 30 seconds.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

Sooo. I pre-ordered on PS4 so I could get beta key. In the end, I didn't plan on getting this. Then I got an email today from Amazon today saying my copy shipped. So I guess I'm playing Black Ops 3. I'm too lazy to return it anywho. I haven't played since Modern Warfare 3

 

[JigglesBunny]

That PS3 version man.
It's pretty fucking fun, still. A little ugly, but a blast. I wouldn't be opposed to recommending it at all.

 

[BiGBoSSMk23]

I believe this is the first one, and its a welcome addition.

That was actually something that impressed me, and it's a clear sign of COD shaking off a bit of stagnation.

No more gun-mounted camera.

 

[Frozenprince]

I played a map that wasn't in the Beta and it was so well designed my god.

 

[nib95]

I think you will. It removes some of the oddness of AW like that twitchiness people seemed to complain about. Also, at least to me the TTK was just about right and the classes are very cool.

I personally found that AW was far more erratic, unpredictable and had worse spawns than the other games, but watching videos online, this one seems a bit more grounded. Now it's just deciding between this or Battlefront!

 

[BigSoftieFF]

This is fucking pissing me off. I've restarted the game countless times.

 

[Senketsu]

now I cant connect at all. these servers man

 

[Kalentan]

Huh. Female soldier enemies in the campaign. Can't say that Treyarch isn't one for equality. Originally I just assumed there was just a player female character. Nice to see there aren't just male enemies.

 

[perfectsil]

Yay 3GB patch

 

[SlickVic]

So Polygon, Gamespot, and Giant Bomb have the 3 lowest scores. Eurogamer hasn't done a review yet, though they found the campaign rather uneven from their write up on it. IGN and Kotaku reviews seem to be pending more time with the MP post release.

LOL. that is pretty much exactly what everyone I was playing with stated and I agree.

Best COD MP this gen.

 

[realcZk]

MIne- Rated it a Buy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e83O0u5n2L8
If you don't like youtube or my stuff here are the pros cons

Pros
Nightmare mode is ace
Zombie mode
Much of the time it looks great
Music
Sound(with a caveat)
Voice actors galore though with a bad story
MP has been a blast


Cons
GFX hitches on XBOX One during levels with a lot of smoke. Strangely far more with PS4 now. Very hitchy.

Great review video by the way, I like your style

PS4? I did a hard reset, and I waited for like 30 seconds at the title screen to see the version number change. All good now.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Damn I gotta download Nuketown and the day one patch. That's what I get for going physical.

 

[Senketsu]

Apparently if your game version in the main menu is 3.30 the game doesnt work. Its supposed to show 3.31 or something.

 

[Karak]

That is pretty much the twitchiness. I enjoyed AW for its uniqueness but instantly on playing this, maybe 1-2 games in. I was far more dialed in on movement and the level design is actually really damn good as well.

Great review video by the way, I like your style

Thanks appreciate it.

 

[Chalupa Batman]

Guys Nightmare mode. I can't tell you how well that is done. I want to see what people think of it because I sincerely hope this is a trend.

Is Nightmare mode the regular campaign but replaced with zombies for enemies (and everything that entails)?

Yes. Yes it is.

 

[shanafan]

I really like hearing enemy movement callouts out from the speaker on the PS4 controller. It's a nice touch.

 

[Trose]

Servers are down for me on ps4

 

[syndream]

anyone playing right now want to do the new zombies add me ps4; syndream

Yeah, if you can't get online with an alphabet error, just restart the game, then WAIT at the title screen until the version number goes up. Then hit X and you'll get right in.

 

[Karak]

Yep but its reworked, the levels play in different order, the story is shifted completely around and actions you take in cutscenes have entirely new meanings or reasons. Its just brilliant man. This comes from someone who thought it was simply an addon.
