So am I missing something with these ugly as shit fluoro weapon skins? They just make you ridiculously easy to spot.

When you a 420headshoteasykillermachine you don't givea sheeeeeeeeet son

btw I have to say, i got a huge laugh out of seeing someone in like the second MP match I played write "EASY" at the end of a match.
It's now a thing that happens basically every match. I can't believe these stereotypes are true XD

Melee is seriously useless now. Eliminating the ridiculous lunge from the earlier games was enough - making it 2 hits to kill is too much when you die so fast. Even getting backstabs is iffy half the time.

How does the black market work?

Do you automatically get your rewards as soon as you buy the supply drop, or is that some ingame thing you need to activate like a care package?

You automatically get three rewards after cashing in. It's in the menus, not in a game.
 
Is anyone else getting major problems in trying to join a game in co op? Or join a friends lobby, I should say. Port forwarding is done via router settings but NAT still shows as Moderate, I restart the game or PS4 and sometimes it works but not always...
 
I could not even finish the first level, absolutely fucking awfull everything.

Zombies is still good fun, but I'm not keen on the initial map :( and the fact the characters never ever shut up.

Not played MP does not interest me.

In short, is it worthy of all those 9s in the reviews? Jesus christ no I'd say 7 or 8 at a push.

Try joining through party chat we was doing that last night and it worked fine, joining through ingame is fucked.

But it doesn't have 'No content', it has 'Cut content' or 'Less content'.

And 'No Country for Old Men' has no connection to Call of Duty. Compare that to Advance Warfare's OT title, 'House of CODs', and that's a play on 'House of Cards', which features Kevin Spacey, but also a play on how Kevin Spacey's character in that show would pronounce 'cards'.

I was sure I was missing a deeper meaning with this OT title. I guess not.

Backstabbing should be one hit kill, face to face 2 hit kill is great, no more bullshit.
 
Glad I didn't cave yesterday, damn you hypetrain.
All my interest is suddenly gone now, I just can't be bothered with a futuristic cod. :(

Can anyone tell me why some campaign missions in the select mission screen have a grey X in them?

I know i completed 5 missions yesterday, some have a green check mark and others a grey X.

Any ideas?

So... How long have I left in the campaign?


I just saved Kane from that burning building, heading to Egypt next I think?

Tried to get Zombies going on PS4 but the game either doesn't start or it ends straight away anyone else struggling to get a game going?

Played a bit of multiplayer today I suck but its good fun. Campaign is alright. Overall a great value package once the servers can take the strain.
 
Just turned the game back on from stand by (PS4). Had a black screen, so restarted the app. Was notified servers are unavailable. Was playing campaign, so just skipped that.

Turns out the game has lost all of my progress.

Fuck this.

could never
Finished the story, ending could have been a bit better but loved my time with it. Now it's time to delve into all these mp modes.
 
Please don't tell me to buy a current gen console, that will happen next year - just want to say something about last gen BO3.

It's broken. Finding a match in any mode is hard despite there 50+ matches available. Server disconnects for no reason on occasion. Lag in good connection matches. Both in zombies and multiplayer. Pathetic after Advanced Warfare ran better, looked better, and you know, actually worked. Helps it had a campaign too, but that's not here nor there. Patch this shit Beenox.
 
Holy shit, is anyone else experiencing ridiculous lag? I played for several hours yesterday and had no issues whatsoever. I played in the same lobby all the time and it worked well. I play today and I've tried four different lobbies and the game is lagging like crazy in every game. It's literally unplayable. My connection is stable and working well, and I turned off the wifi on my other devices. This kind of lag should be unacceptable in 2015. I never experienced any lag whatsoever in my 300 hours of BF3. Playing BLOPS3 on PS4.

Okay, rant over.

Relax, it's only the first few days. I'm sure they're working hard to fix it. At least we can play the game, unlike some other online games at launch.

Well I'm not asking for the thread to be closed, I just couldn't understand where the "great thread title" comments were coming from. Genuinely I thought I missed something.

Take the Halo 5 thread title. "The Trials of Osiris" is a thing in Destiny, made by Bungie, the makers of Halo. Osiris is also the name of the team that are the main focus of Halo 5, and so the games events could be considered the trials of (Team) Osiris. So it works on those two levels. But, in this case, No Country for Old Men has no connection to Call of Duty, so it isn't a pun, it's just saying something that rhymes with 'No Country for Old Men'.

Ugh, nevermind. It isn't a problem, just an observation.

Considering you haven't finished one campaign level or multiplayer you sure you want to even rate it that high?

It's normal, it's called fatigue, give series a break for some time and came back later, it usually works but it won't be the same as before of course.

You will leave off where you were when the servers come back up, I had the same issue. Don't start a local campaign, I'm not sure if you will lose the progress of you do.

Your over analysing it. The context and meaning are basically there its just not something your getting right away. Id just let it go man. Just enjoy the ride.

I agree with him, House of CoDs was a better pun, as it had relevancy to the subject matter. No Country for Old Men has nothing to do with Black ops 3.

It's a decent pun but it's nothing great =/
 
Alright so the hype got to me and I ended up getting the game.

First things first; right off the bat, the campaign is god awful. It is so underwhelmingly bad and cringeworthy; with unlikeable and forgettable main characters.
& the part at the beginning where unmm Taylor (ibelieve) took down a vtol by himself was just laughable.
I expected more, coming from treyarch.

Multiplayer on the other hand is good-to decent. Will certinaly keep me interested in playing till battlefront comes along. Although, I wished that they completely threw away the jet pack/double jumps and stuck with the OG COD maneuverability. Time to kill is still quick and easy, which was expected :(

Now for zombies; Shadows of Evil has got some great lead characters. All of them are genuinly pretty funny...but my god the map is so difficult now. It's definitely the hardest in the series imo. I'm not saying that it is a bad thing, because I like a challenge. I would've prefered to have "the Giant" as the main zombie mode as oppose to this; but activision was being activision and wanted us to pay for the season pass. Yuck.

These are just my first impressions of the game.
