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


Don't remember a single beat from this, AW, Ghosts or even BO2.
Why did they basically give up on COD soundtracks?
4-MW3's were so dang good.
(Treyarch's alone)

R.I.P

They don't even bother with Victory and Defeat themes anymore.

Lol some of my lobbies keep getting filled with too many people and we have to wait for people to leave before the game will start. Odd.

Was getting caught part of your plan?
I decided to watch the first level of the campaign on YT and Jesus Christ, what the hell is up with that soundtrack?

More importantly, what the hell is up with that male VA?
 

Those graphics remind me of the Wii version of Black Ops 1. O_O

Re connection probs: I've been playing for like 8hrs and haven't had any (I think) disconnections mid game. Sometimes between matches it'll crash back to the menu which is odd and sometimes annoying, but nothing as annoying as crashing mid game.

Pretty smooth, lotsa green bar goodness. Much better than the beta where I was getting meh connection.

Xbox One version, from New Zealand here.

I've only played multi, thats what I play CoD for. Having loads of fun, easily the best since Black Ops 2. Believe in Treyarch!

My best friend and I used to love splitscreen playing CoD 3's horde mode. Does this iteration offer something similar for us?

This is my first CoD since MW2, and I'm really enjoying it. As a single player gamer mostly, I'm loving how packed this is with content. I'm about halfway through the campaign right now, which I'm having fun with despite the awful writing, and I'm definitely looking forward to the zombie campaign. Split-screen was the feature that convinced me to purchase the game, but is there a way to do multi-monitor? PC, obviously. The ability to play all of the multiplayer modes and maps with bots is just the icing on the cake for me.

Not regretting my purchase one bit.

Well it has the zombie modes.

And it does have that "combat readiness" thing in the campaign safehouse,I think that's a horde mode? Not 100% sure

This is my favourite MP since COD4. He maps are the perfect size and so well designed, the gunplay is perfect and the the movement abilities are fun to use but not OP and causing all the players to constantly be flying around. Just a perfect balance.

Played my first couple hours last night:

This game is incredibly refreshing. It's still CoD with iron-sight wars, but the added movement and verticality make it so much more enjoyable. Some people are getting pretty good about jumping around walls and killing you at the same time. -_-

The multiplayer feels more streamlined than when I last played CoD, which I think was the first Black Ops. The specialists are a nice touch of "heroes" as well. Only have tried sparrow so far, and the bow is pretty fun.

The amount of content is amazing, the UI/menus are well done, and the game is just fun. Really glad I picked it up. If you haven't played CoD in awhile like myself, I recommend it for sure.

What's everyone's favorite perks so far? Granted im only level 14 so I haven't unlocked them all but none seem to have sounded super useful enough to spend a token on yet incept for the tactical mask. Figured id ask before I wasted tokens.

Also hows the semtex? Better than grenades? Usually they are my favorite but im not seeing many people use them so im wondering if they took a big hit.
 
Man fuck these repetitive after battle one liners.

"They didn't see it coming"

Ya no shit cause the spawns happen behind you 90% of the time...

Suddenly the 'online service' went down (PC), while I was playing the campaign. Now the game doesn't allow me to resume my campaign and wants me to start a new one... GREAT!
Glorious always online future!

What's kind of annoying is your local save and being connected to the server are 2 different things. If I jump on campaign now while the servers are down, none of my progress will be saved to continue when they come back up. Found that out yesterday when I thought the servers were down, done about 5 missions, connected again and had to redo all the missions.

If you're playing any kind of gamemodes with focused objectives, blast shield is really good for surviving explosive spam.

"One shot One kill, didn't even see it coming"

It's the only one I've ever heard because I've never seen a non Sparrow be the MVP.
 
The decision to make the campaign half online only is garbage. Servers crash, I get kicked from my mission and no local save to pick up from. Whoever thought this was a good idea, it wasn't, it's the worst COD decision in years. Fix it.

I don't get why we don't just keep customs and then select a specialty.
Put the specialists voices as selectable for your character like the taunt, etc.
Female would have 4 voices options Males get like 7.

I can't even resume my campaign. What the shit? Who the fuck thought this was a good idea? Separating the online and offline campaign? This is some Fallout 3 Games for Windows Live-tier bullshit
