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

Do you guys think that the score needed for most of the scorestreaks is pretty damn high? 500 just for an UAV, which is pretty much 5 kills. Hellstorm for 8 kills, etc. I noticed that the scorestreaks appear a lot less in this game than in the previous ones, or maybe I am just imagining it. What do you guys think?

I haven't had a problem with it. I'm always playing Domination so between caps, defends, assists as well as the occasional combat focus specialist skill, things have been smooth.

Just means we have to work harder for it.

Scorestreak wise, I'm running guardian, wraith and lightning strike. Guardian is awesome for locking down a lane.

Leveling up is also taking a long time. Not a complaint, though. I've always enjoyed the grind.

Anyone figure out any of those Dark Ops challenges?

Running around with fists only is pretty fun. I need to do this in hardcore though.

Can someone tell me what exactly that "Combat Readiness" or whatever thing in the safehouse is?

Is it a 4 player horde mode?

I prefer it stops constant scorestreak spam and is actually challanging

PS4 servers seem to be on fire, I've never seen a queue to login before. Campaign is very boring but I'm having a good time with MP. Need to see what this zombies mode is really about. I fired it up solo and it seemed very complex compared to past entries.
fyi this the first cod i bought since the ww2 that I don't even know the name. I bought this one only for the zombie mode (I don't care about zombies) since I watched some games on the ps4 streams. it's hard, but good.
 
I just played a round of TDM that was 7 vs 3. Whaaaaaaat

Is anybody on Xbox One having trouble installing the game from disc? Tried installing it last night and wouldn't go past 4%. Just exchanged it this morning and getting the same problem.

If it's trying to download the patch at the same time don't download the patch. Choose to "Install Later". After it installs from disk then you can download the patch. I choose to do this each time I install from disc on any game because I always run into the same issue.
 
Anyone having trouble connecting to the servers on ps4? I left the game at the main menu for a good five minutes and version number hasn't changed.

Starting to get my attachments and perks I like, so i'm finally playing better, still need a few more things

This is one game where I start out sucking early on then get much better, some people are good even before they have anything unlocked lol

Wow, can't even continue my campaign because all my data was stored as online, so I lose all my data if the servers go down. That's ridiculous.

Silly question, but as I've never played Zombies before is it like horde mode (round based and each round gets more difficult).

Does the difficultly scale with the amount of co-op players?

What's all this tentacle/powerup business for?
 
I think it is good why does it need to be lower? I hate it when there spamming like in previous CoD you need to work towards those scorestreaks.

Anyone else getting a message saying that the severs are down for maintenance on ps4? So bored and can't play now cause of it.

Yeah I tried that just now, still not working. Would it have anything to do with me being on the New Xbox One Experience OS?
 
I still feel like I'm running around like a headless chicken. I barely know the maps and especially during Team Deathmatch I have no idea where the enemy is going to spawn. Sometimes I go like 8-21 and feel deep shame. Sometimes I go 19-12 or something though so that evens it out (a bit).

And are the PS4 servers down right now? According to the blops 3 server status site the status is "not good". Guess I should play something else atm.
 
So, i'm gonna only play MP, dont care about singleplayer stuff. How is the feeling of MP so far? The maps? The guns? Do they feel arcadey fast or heavy slow? Are the maps good for S&D?

Just keep playing tdm is the worst early on because people don't know the maps and just sit in corners afraid to die.

Once you learn players tendencies it gets easier to predict the spots people like to hide in. I usually play Dom or hard point till I get the map flow down. I'm not a very big tdm player a little to much corner camping and bad spawns.

I'm stuck in a server que it just jumped from 20 mins to 1 hour and 45 mins.

I found a way to fix the input lag on PC.

Set EVERYTHING to literally the lowest possible!

The game still stutters though and the FPS is ridiculously low.

Nice port guys.

Here I am with flawless 60fps at all times on my i2500k, 8GB Ram and my 970.

Btw, turning off all vsync for the game fixes the input lag and makes it proper snappy.
Honk honk, PC gaming!
