I looked, but didn't see anyone mention the supposed $15 worth of BO3 in game items if you just download COD heroes
How do I get this? I downloaded it but see no way of linking my PSN profile.
I know I don't have to fucking beat this boring ass game to get the items.. Because that would be super false advertising. It just says to download the game..
How do I redeem this $15 of free shit?

-No-
Nova 6 is thrown in for zero reason and a reference the villain from 2 are the only connection.

Anyone able to explain what Arena is?
Alright, so I just finished the campaign. I feel like I just need to get my thoughts down. They might be a bit scattershot, so bear with me.
Definitely not my favorite CoD campaign, design-wise or story-wise. At times, it started to feel like a slog. I didn't feel like the new abilities like wall running were implemented very well into the level design, and there were just some missions that felt like they ran too long.
As for my gripes with the story, it's mostly with the pacing and the way it's told. I feel like there's so much in the first half of the game that isn't really necessary. It takes SO long to
, and I feel like that time could have been better spent building up
When we finally get to
, it's just kind of dropped on us. Since there was so little build up to it, it just kind of felt like "ok... cool, I guess?" Big story moments weren't really given room to breathe either. In the last mission, when
Now that I think of it, there was a lot of things that I wasn't really clear on the "why".
Also, there was a lot of stuff about the state of the world that felt like we were just supposed to know already that wasn't well explained. I did like how they
Overall, I feel like the story was cool in concept, but a bit jumbled and poorly told. I'd probably rank it just above Ghosts, which is one of my least favorite of the recent campaigns. It's not bad, but it doesn't really live up to its potential.
Also, what was up with the ending?
Edit: The more I think on it, the more absolutely nothing about this story makes any kind of sense.

find Taylor and his team
Corvus.
Corvus
Kane goes into the room with the Nova gas, I had no idea why she had to go in. It happened so fast, and she was dead so fast that I didn't even know what was going on. I half expected her not to be dead. That and the scene immediately following felt SUPER rushed.
Also, there was a lot of stuff about the state of the world that felt like we were just supposed to know already that wasn't well explained. I did like how they
tied BO1 and 2 in though. I knew the minute I saw that a gas had killed the people in the Black Site that it was Nova 6 (even though it did feel like they shoehorned it in a bit). That and Menendez's shenanigans having shaped the state of drone legislation was neat. OH, and zombies showing up in Hall's little bit there? Awesome.

Was that whole thing in the Frozen Forest just a ploy by Taylor/Corvus to take control of the main character's mind?

Curious about this as well. Seems random when you get it, or how many you get

Campaign's story was just weird.
Like it was 3 games patched together.
Interesting as hell but man the execution had many issues.
scene was so stupid it nearly ruins the campaign for me.
Still one of the better campaigns.
Campaign costumes and and custom character should really be in MP.

Much easier once you figure out how to unlock perks/pack a punch etc.
As you have already finished the game, how did the handle the the multiple endings of BO2? Did they make the references very vague so any ending could be valid, or did the gun for a specific ending as "canon"?
There's definitely a lot more to adapt to. You can take three hits before going down now, but zombies attack much faster, and it feels as though regenerating health takes longer to kick in.

I haven't played zombies since Black Ops 1. (Didn't like the black ops 2 zombie map)
I'm finding it a bit hard too. Only made it to round 7.

I think just doing well in games. Been playing TDM and have been getting 1 every few matches I think.

nothing, one Egyptian soldier basically says to think Menendez because his attacks lead to new security around the world.
The one time they mention Menendez, I believe Hendricks says something along the lines of "he got what he deserved", which leads me to believe either the kill or capture ending could be canon.

Strange, outside of zombies, no issues at all with multiplayer on my end. PS4 as well.

Seems to take a lot longer to level up compared to the last few CODs. I'm glad this is slower like the older ones.

I came to the conclusion while at work that this is the GI JOE game I've always wanted.
Very excited to play more.

Played through the first campaign mission. This game really isn't a looker. And after listening to the stellar writing, I can tell that this game is definitely not targeted to me.

I know exactly what you mean. Your gut is telling you the truth.
I want to read stories of people's attempts. Treyarch loves to make you run through open areas with gunfire coming from all angles, both onscreen and off, and from what I played of the campaign there is more than enough of that going on here too. Nothing about this looks in any way balanced for a realistic mode. I think they're just counting upon rote memorization and co-op revives to balance out the cheap encounters.

Damn... That sucks! It's been perfect for me! 0 Lag and 0 problem.
Huh never felt any dips :/

I noticed some in the first few levels but they weren't distracting enough during gameplay to give a shit, really.

Every mid-mission cut-scene feels like they run at 10-15fps. In gameplay I don't notice drops as often, but it doesn't often feel as smooth as a solid 60fps either.
Should've just played 1 instead. Best CoD, bar none, this doesn't even hold a candle to it.
Blops is the 3rd best cod at best.

Arena... Is dumb as hell wtf, this thing takes way too damn long!!!!! You don't need Captain mode in an FPS...
2 + 4 still miles ahead for me. 2 for being a genuinely amazing WW2 online shooter with great weapons and amazing maps, also has the best CTF mode in the COD series. 4 for being a revolutionary game with an excellent campaign and some of the tightest multiplayer action still to this day.
I also had zero issues with the beta and (no hyperbole) have had 0 absolutely zero lag-negligible/rubber-band free games today. It's playable in the broadest term. I keep trying multiplayer hoping it would get better. Other then that Coop campaign works really well.

Mine are like that too ( I have a 7 year old thought). That said, I'd still recommend these things, they sound great! Also, they are looking to go for around $40 USD come black friday, so you might wait just a little bit longer before you jump in.

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