Call of Duty: Black Ops III |OT| No Content For Old Gen

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.

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.

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.

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.
 
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

A company being excited for their new game is a huge slap in the face to all the fans that liked their old games.
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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Thanks appreciate it.

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

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.

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

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.
