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

Gonna play a little campaign and then sell this bad boy.

Wish I could like it but with Halo and Fifa keeping me busy and Fallout on Tuesday, there will be no time for this.

Good luck to those of you sticking with it.

And as I type this the game just stopped working and sent me back to the dashboard. Nice!
 
The Gorgon on Nuketown is UNBELIEVABLY GOOD

I actually almost turned a game of domination around. We were down by like 100 and I capped B and just sat there annihilating everyone with the Gorgon. We lost by 3, but fuuuuuck it felt good catching up.
 
Just discovered a pretty useful glitch.

If you want to prestige your weapons for the clan tag or kill counter but don't want to be bothered by losing the attachments you've unlocked. Just create 2 custom classes with the same weapon equipped, same attachments. Then prestige one of them. Once you do, they will both go back down to level 1, the one you hit prestige on will lose all attachments, the second one will still have them!
 
The campaign can be a lot of fun if played in co op. they should have had voting to skip cut scenes while in co op. its not gears/halo/destiny good but its a start for the franchise.

MP beside the ocasional lag is good fun. One thing that pisses me off is being stuck or pushed by my team mates, when they pass by or touch me guy. Alteady died quiet a few times being stuck in a tight spot...

Still have to try this new Zombies. Seems cool.

A lot of content in the game, theres something for everyone.

I gotta say, headshots not being insta-kill in AW was the most stupid thing ever.

Thank god Treyarch ditch that stupid ass idea.

Is there an app or website that keeps track of your stats like KDR? What's the equivalent app to the COD Elite app?

It's annoying only being able to see your last five games. Unless there's a way to see all of your stats..?
 
Cool. Found some

in the campaign. I assume it has nothing to do with the campaign going forward and it's only an easter egg.

Going by the past few comments on BOIII's campaign, is Advanced Warfare still the king of COD campaign's since BOII?

I really, really liked Advanced Warfare's campaign. Personally, it's my favorite since MW2. I'm extremely partial to the original Infinity Ward campaigns (with MW2 being their weakest and a dramatic shift in tone that was jarring for me), and Advanced Warfare came the closest to those of any of them, even if it was more MW3 than MW1.

I totally get why people love the Black Ops 1 and 2 campaigns, it's just not my style of CoD.

Payback sucker. Think you can just love it and leave it?

LOL.

You do unlock more things for each class with black market stuff, just gotta give people time to get things, I'm sure people looked quite similar the first week of aw as well.
Yeah no.
in AW you had options on starting gear and face combinations, not to mention supply drops like every hour.
The set specialist characters is completely stupid even worse with unlocking any alternative gear away and locking half the characters behind rank.
Characters on the other team doesn't even change slightly, it is completely stupid.

The last mission is way too long completely runs out of momentum about halfway through. Honestly the second half should've been a interactive cut-scene.
 
I'm really bothered (I know stupid) by the fact that all the maps are the same time of day, mostly sunny, some are partly cloudy but still sunny. No rain, no snow, no night maps, no evening, morning, nothing.

It kinda makes the maps feel samey or something, I don't know. Just wish there was a bit of variety.

I had a lot of fun with the beta. I'm a level 9 or 10 in Team Deathmatch. All I use are the sub machine guns. I use the Outrider and just now the Prophet. I enjoyed the maps in the beta a lot and I'm finding it somewhat hard to like all of them compared to BO2. It's taking its time.

I haven't finished the campaign yet. The story is going in one ear and out the other.

Am I wrong to think AW had more production value than BO3?

Treyarc hits the arcade shoot outs in a way that makes it feel like Obsidian's work with New Vegas.


AW probably had less enemies and areas to roll around in. The scale in AW was pretty good, but BO3 seems to play a little like Metro LL meets Destiny in ways.
 
I figured I was probably in the minority. They just seem generic to me. Of course I haven't unlocked them all yet.

No im with you, for me it was one of the dumbest ideas I have seen in MP.
made worse by actually having customs for campaign.

Who the fuck thought 2 teams all running around with the exact same character was a fun idea?
Even worse by them being so specific.
At the very least they should let you pick faces for a few of the specialists.

So what is the gunsmith for? I made a variant but I was able to equip literally every attachment. Can you use that in multiplayer?

is it worth it to save your cryptokeys to get rare items?

Man it's a defensive king. It feels like a cross between the BAR and MG42. If you're dug in at medium or long range you should be winning every single time

yep. seems a bit op to be honest lol gotta rank up before they nerf it :)

I mean I'm pretty sure ita for clarity, so if you see them you know what character they are and what special ability they may have up. But i guess everyone wants their own unique dress up doll.

Oh, my, God.

That Campaign ending was literally "Baby's First Sci-Fi" levels of ridiculous.

Damn Treyarch, you shit the bed hard with that Campaign.
Ya dragged on so long and so many games did this topic better... dead space, resistance 2 also the ending

I honestly can't believe im having this much fun with a cod game online. I never honeymoon games, especially mp games. But man im really not being able to get enough of this so far.

Only been disconnected twice so far but quickly reconnected. Although everytime I boot up the game it says I can't connect but as soon as I click play online it works fine. Really the only issues I have. Dingo has me like whoa.

Joining a gun game already in progress is one of the most unfair and unfun things in this game. Can't believe they do it in this mode.
 
Just finished Hypocenter in the campaign.
Not sure how anyone thought all this technology was a good idea after what happened in Black Ops II. Their silly little DEAD systems can't save them now. HAHAHA

Okay, so after numerous amounts of attempts to join a friend's lobby I just give up. I have no idea after so many COD's and a beta that there still seems to be plenty of online issues.

I think after I finish the campaign I'll trade this in for Fallout 4. Let the COD-cycle continue.
