Black Ops III's campaign's campaign commits the biggest crime of being a boring Call of Duty campaign. That's plain sinful for this series. I'm pretty vocal about my distain for MW3's unoriginal and average campaign, but at least there's some cool moments sprinkled throughout. Ghosts at least had the dog, a silly villain, tank mission, and some cool space fights.
Black Ops III has an overly complicated twist that tired to appear smarter than it really is. Black Ops 1 did its twist better.
Edit: and fuck Hendricks!

I still haven't bothered with the SP for this based on all the negative feedback for the campaign I've read.

Some neat ideas but kinda feels like a "fuck you".
The biggest problem with it is that literally all they needed was the MC being another Mason(expected the custom character to be a Mason till the very end) and have something to do with the father in 2025+ or Grandfather in the 60's-00's.
Throw in a hint at Reznov and you have a fine COD story.
But they just said fuck it and made the weirdiest most convoluted shit i'd seen in a video game.
It was like some Kojima shit if he had absolutely no direction or cohesion to the madness.
the problem with that is that it was for no purpose there is a small terrible story there and then a secret saying "ha! this a terrible little story was actually about THIS terrible little story..."
Salvation boooois.
Its also been 5 years since Rezurrection released. I need a all Zombie map pack again.
It's nice when facing a full team with one other guy on your side actually pays off (in a way)

Yup. The odds of you getting it are next to nothing though.
At this point, and it is sad to admit, the only thing that keeps playing this game is the keys and hoping to land a weapon I want. It so stupid of my to think that way because 99% of the time I am just opening dust camo and taunts.
At this point I don't really have any reasons left to play this game.
Yesterday finally finished with getting Diamond camo for all the weapon classes and unlocked Dark Matter. I left the Knife for last thinking it was going to be the thougest one but it wasn't, activated the Melee contract for the new Calling Card and finished getting Diamond for the knife and the contract at the same time, 400 Melee kills in total.

Been playing BO III on PC, and at 2:20 AM, there is 0% in Descent playlist. Thinking this was just a PC only thing, I jumped on my PS4 version and same thing - 0% in Descent playlist. I guess players have moved on to other games until November for now - or it's just the time of day
2500 COD points!? Fuck off Activision.

A remake of Standoff from BO2? Yes!

This was such bullshit. I did the math... If you somehow had not already earned the weekly reward of 30 keys, and did the three dailies since this went live, you would need another 440 keys. Assuming you earn an average of 2.3 keys per match, and each match averages 7 minutes, you would have to play for almost 24 hours to get to 500... out of 3 days... Fuck you Activision and this last minute money grab. They knew people would not be able to get there and are counting on people just throwing money at them.
At least make it a one time offer that doesn't expire like the 75 wins bribe. To land this on everyone without notice is so cheap.
The point was to get people to spend 20 bucks for 2 guaranteed weapons.
No. The opposite. More meaningless loot makes the odds are even more slim to get something you want. Absolute trash.

Saw this video from merkmusic the other day. Basically he's found that people talking in game chat can cause lag. Has anyone experienced anything like this?

Sure. At 75 wins, you can get a guaranteed weapon supply drop, as well as the season pass gives you another weapon supply drop.
Yeah, it's not "easy", but it's definite now with those two examples.

Yeah, I started it up and saw that contract thing. Couldn't win any matches even though I think I'm pretty good.. Got master prestige, gold specialist armor, dark matter, etc. Just kept running into pretty good parties of people.
My favorite playlists seem to be empty anyways. What a shame :I
Best shot at getting 75 wins is to play FFA or Gun Game. With the right perks/weapons, FFA is pretty easy to dominate, whereas Gun Game forces everyone into a level playing field. In either case, you only have to place in the top 3 for it to count as a win.
Word of warning: I only got a melee weapon out of the 75 wins bribe.

I'm sitting on 20xx cryptokeys but you greedy Activision guys are getting none of them!
Dude, the game gives you hundreds of keys for free via bonus keys in Rare Supply Drops since you get up to 30 in each drop, and the Triple Play bundle came with 10 of them. You also get plenty more keys from burning dupes. Opened my Triple Play with COD points on Saturday and got:
- R70 Ajax LMG from my ranged weapon bribe
- Nightbreaker from my melee weapon bribe
- Marshal 16 from one of the 10 included supply drops
- 200+ cryptokeys from bonuses in the supply drops
- 160+ more keys from burning the duplicates
- DBSR-50 sniper from my ranged weapon bribe
- Nunchucks from my melee weapon bribe
- Iron Jim from one of the 10 included supply drops
- 120+ cryptokeys from bonuses in the supply drops
- 100+ more keys from burning the duplicates

Hundreds of free keys, lol, no they don't unless you are able to open a load of crates in the first place.
WTF are you talking about? You paid 20 bucks to get those ten 'free' rare drops that came with those 'free' bonus keys. That same 20 bucks bought you 160 keys worth of duplicates. If you started from zero keys, you would have had to play 24 hours out of three days to get the triple play without real world money. There was nothing free about what you did.
Edit: You are also telling us that out of 10 rare drops, you got an average of 20 free keys in each (200+ total)? Sounds like we are playing different games friend....

Hey guys whats up I just discovered this cool thing called cryptokeys today.....
I think it's starting to get to the point where the weapons in the supply drops are starting to be overpowered. The Ajax just rips me apart, I cannot kills anybody that runs around with crossbows and the rift gun is like walking around with an annihilator.
I'd say I am ready for a change with the new COD but black ops opened the door with this cryptokeys/weapons nonsense which I assume will now be in every COD game from here on out.

I disagree. Stats wise, the Ajax is slower than the Dingo and does the same amount of damage (lowest in class). It's only boon besides the ammo printing (which is a double edged sword) is somewhat longer 4HK range.
The crossbow is a high risk high reward weapon that usually just requires a bit of active movement to beat. Low ammo capacity (especially with tribolt) and low reserves. Unless the user has scavenger or is very diligent in collecting stray bolts, they can't last in prolonged firefights.
The Rift, like the crossbow, shoots an actual projectile (two, actually). It's not a hit-scan weapon so you have to lead a lot at range, and even then it's difficult because of it's unusual firing pattern (it shoots one ball straight and the other slightly upward). You need both to hit for it to kill, and it's rate of fire is pretty slow. Can't be dual wielded either, so no chance of spamming. Again, risk/reward.
I can only comment on the Ajax (only weapon I got from the new DLC), I used the Ajax to start the LMG Calling Card challenge and switched to the Dingo half way through the challenge. The slow rate of fire and waiting for the bullets to regenerate was kind off a turn off for the Ajax, I use Scanvenger in almost all of my classes and it was hard to get use to not reloading from time to time.
The other one I have from the previous DLC is the Banshii, that it's a one shot plasma kill shotgun, but you have to be super accurat because of the super slow rate of fire, if you miss it leaves you open until you take your next shot. It's fun to use specially shooting across the map, but doesn't beat a regular non DLC shotgun.
By the way, yesterday the community got to 350 million matches played, Prize Fighter boxing gloves everywhere, they are super fun to use.
Only double XP til sunday,then double everything kicks in til tuesday.
It's still EVERYTHING.
I dunno if I want to grind Cryptokeys or Liquid Divinium in prep for Salvation.

There is a active topic on GAF right now about playing COD on PC compared to PS4. The joke is "COD on PC? Sure, if you like TDM." - joking that the playlists have low player counts.
But, right now on a Saturday afternoon on PS4, 0% in the Descent playlist. 1% in KC. 1% in Hardpoint. TDM? 41%. Can't even play the new maps on PS4. Really shows it's not a platform, it's a game issue. Players have moved on to Overwatch, etc.
So, be nice to COD PC

For DLC maps yeah but you legacy playlists are still populated and for 8 months or whatever you could play any game mode you want on console. On PC it was almost always just TDM.
