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

Ever since the patch I've had a green maker on the Seraph specialist that I can't get rid of. It keeps highlighting the body/head armor like I have new ones to use. I haven't even used Seraph though. I actually switched over to unlock the first armor to see if it would go away and it didn't. It drives me nuts to see the green arrow.
This exact thing is happening to me as well! Seraph and everything. I tried to change the head and chest, but there's nothing to change it to...

Same shit happened to me too! I got rid of it by freaking out with the x button on all the outfits and heads over and over and all of a sudden they all went away... No more fake green unlock indentifiers. No idea why it worked... But it did.

I am playing on Xbox One with external hard drive install and I am getting a lot of judder during multiplayer matches. Connection seems fine. The hard drive is going nuts during matches. Is the external install causing this?

Wow...same here. Guess it's that common.

I can't figure out what I need to look at in the specialists tab to get rid of the little green marker!!!!


Heeeellllpppl!!! My OCD is killing me!!

Did you unlock a skin on the black market for a character that you haven't unlocked yet? That's what happened to me. When I leveled up and accessed the character it finally went away.

I dunno!? Do you only get black market stuff from those chest things? I haven't gotten 30 tokens to get one yet (saving for the better one).

I don't even see any green markers anywhere on the character I have, its only on the main select screen on specialist, before I go into it.

Starting to feel seriously crippled running without perks that either help you track or remain hidden from other players.

Wouldn't surprise me if it was double weapon xp, they've done it in the past after double xp weekends they then did a double weapon xp event, sure that was in BO2.

May even include double crypto keys.

My bad! Correction - it's not the SP campaign, but the combat simulation, which is far, far more difficult.

For those unaware, the "Personal Decorator" trophy has a ridiculous number of challenges associated with it, including but not limited to beating the game on veteran without using a checkpoint (no restarts), and beating the combat simulator on realistic.

The combat simulator is hardcore and without a doubt the most challenging segment of BO3. You need to clear 16 waves which get progressively more difficult with each wave, without dying once, on a one-hit kill difficult. There's no checkpoints or mercy - if you die, you're starting over. The glitch puts you into godmode, making it impossible for you to die: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PyRdk8fxNB0

Woah, thanks for clearing everything up. Will definitely try it out. Seems like fun
 
At least when you finish the campaign and unlock
nightmare mode you won't have to listen to him again.

Is nightmare mode worth a run through?

Just how different is the story and dialogue? Not sure I want to spend so long in it if it's mostly the same with just a enemy swap

I hate not knowing if its rubber band or bullet penetration but the amount of times I've died getting behind cover/door/wall and to die... it's very frustrating.

They've got killcams for a reason. Unless you're playing Hardcore, in which case you're stuck with the guesscam.

Spent ages getting near the end of the first mission on realistic, a mate wants to play online so I save and quit. Come back today, and it just says "Resume In Darkness"!

I've got to do it all again, ugh.

Killcams feel off in these cases as well. Who's connection are they showing - The one that got the kill and I'm left wondering.. no way you can shoot through that wall.

Exactly. So if it shows them killing you before you got to cover when on your screen you got to cover before you died, then you can deduce that it was rubber-banding. If it shows them shooting at the cover and getting the kill, then it was penetration.

The way kill cams work in previous CODs is it will always show the latency of the killer. It's probably my side of the network but it's still frustrating playing like that and thinking you got into cover only to die.

Got to love match matching.
 
Anyone else (with stellar connection) still getting horribly laggy matches like I am? I'd say 8 out of 10 matches i've been having are affected by lag/lag comp/shitty hosting... it's starting to get ridiculous. Is this now what CoD is? (I stopped playing AW after the first few weeks.)

And even when the connection is solid... you still have that lag comp (or crap netcode etc.) that seems to always place one team ever so slightly "ahead" of the other team... you're either steamrolling through people with ease... or getting shot around corners or by people you just saw.

I still think the launch multi-player has been working rather fine since release, nothing is perfect, but I have not experienced too many issues

I have had lots of lag issues with the game, where every player in the game has a ping bar that moves around wildly from red to green all the time. The game is unplayable when that happens.

However, when the game works, it works better than past COD games.

I also agree... best CoD in a long while when it works... but god damn it only seems to be like 20% of the time at most. Meanwhile, Halo 5 is an absolute perfect dream to play connection/lag-wise. Proof dedicated servers (and probably the higher TTK) works.

It's so strange, I feel it works just fine for me 90% of the time

Perhaps there's some lag that is there but does not affect me as much as someone else

Yeah im sure it's been fine in some regions. Have heard from alot of people in US that have had almost no issues. But it have really been unplayable in big parts of EU and South America for example for the most part since release. I play with around 6-8 people from Sweden regularly, and we all experienced the same thing.

The most worrying part are that there has been no work at all from Treyarch or Activision that they are aware of the problem and are working on solving it.

Mines the same, I've had maybe 2 or 3 laggy games that have hampered my performance. Few little times the servers might go down for a few minutes at a time too but other than that it's been a great experience.

I think on consoles you guys all have to fight for a spot on a dedicated server cause the community is so crazy huge.

On PC everyone is nice and cozy on our dedis cause we got enough room for everyone.

I am from Germany and have a great experience. Checking my pings I doubt I ever got one worse than 45ms.
