I really don't understand how CoD campaigns through the years have gotten so progressively worse to the point that they aren't even stories anymore. It's gotten braindead level of design at this point. Lack of flow from level to level and nothing but explosions with no real small break inbetween.

MW2 for better or worse was a bit of a mess but it still knew how to make it all flow in a fun way story wise.

I was looking so forward to the anti UAV perk (Ghost), and finally, unlock it only to remember how shitty the Treyarch version is. Having to constantly be on the move almost sprint for it to work is pointless. Moving with your weapons up won't do it. Not sure why it's a lvl 38 perk.

Matchmaking is completely broken for parties. It's not helping that I suck in this game. I feel like not playing to be honest, and I'm only level 15 because I missed the weekend.

I'm just going to put it simply

The game seems and feels the exact opposite of what you just said

It's not easy

The guns do have recoil and plenty of flinch

Jumping is a sure way to get you killed, helps mostly with grenades tho

And the game is fun, there's just no other way around it

Thanks for making points instead of sarcastically agreeing.

I have only used the KN-44 and that gun has no recoil. It kills people in 4/5 shots. Jumping has allowed me to turn the tables on people who get the first shot on me in a number of occasions, which is totally different for me in COD because it's usually a whoever sees whoever first gets the kill. I find the game easy, but I was having some fun running around shitting on kids.

God I am in love with this game. This is more or less exactly how a COD Game should feel to be honest. I am already getting depressed thinking about what tripe we will get served up next year by IW. Was that 2 year DLC rumour for BLOPS3 ever confirmed or denied?

This. It's my first one since MW2 and I'm absolutely in love with the game. (Was previously a Battlefield and Destiny guy but this might just end up as my main FPS.

Cleared the normal campaign and started on the
zombies one
. I didn't find it bad, but it certainly isn't among the best ones of the franchise. What makes me sad is that
the nightmares mode is based on the dull campaign levels, and we had finally gotten a real zombies campaign...

Game is fun, but my input lag SUCKS! I have to play on low settings and 1366x768 res. Any better solutions to avoid the input lag besides having to use terrible settings?

Got a weird bug in campaign, some of the dialogue audio is super quiet, like the intro movie and and commands over the character's headset.

Is it supposed to be like this?

Is there something you have to do to enable the illumination with the BOA 3 optics? I can be right up on people and they're showing as neither red nor blue when aiming.

Man I'm hooked on this sheeet!

Shame the weekend lures out all sorts of useless fucknuggets though... I play mainly Domination and on all of my games tonight I've had a ton of campers either on the enemy team or my team which has respectively cost them or us the game. Not sure if they're trolling or just completely missing the point of Domination.

I really think they should also introduce like a double XP weekend on a certain game mode or modes to get people more into them. As it stands, the majority of the playerbase is doing TDM with Domination closely behind and the rest seem to be mere curiosities.

What is everyone's favorite gun so far?

I'm really enjoying this installment, Treyarch did a great job providing value and the mobility is smooth.

Okay, i'll bite. You start of by calling the game easy but you do realize that everyone has the same weapons etc. putting you all on an even playing field. Guns do have recoil, subtler though it may be than other shooters and that is just the way the game is designed. The jumping complaint really isn't true, like it was in AW. There is notable sway when jumping/aimed in and your jet pack is slow enough for to make you an easy target, again unlike AW. Overall the TTK seems pretty great so far and probably at a similar level to Blops 2, which imo was perfect for COD gameplay. The auto aim is completely manageable and honestly don't get that complaint. The specialists do throw a spanner in the works and do add a little bit of unpredictability to the matches but I do agree that they can get annoying. It sounds to me like you are just not a fan of this type of shooter because honestly this is easily the best MP on ps4 imo.

Edit: the hip fire complaint is kinda true on smg's but I am hoping that will get patched as pro players have been complaining about that on twitter.

This is so much better than your first reply. Thanks for taking the time to type this out, as I'm not trolling or whatever.

Are we playing different game modes because hardpoint does not have even starts. The game has flinch, but I don't notice any recoil while shooting. I do have vibration turned off, so that makes it easier hide/deal with the subtle recoil you say it has. Dude, you get 4 jumps by mashing the jump button, it's incredibly easy to get away and turn the tables on an encounter. I guess I have just gotten used to the low auto aim in Halo and jumping on COD is extremely different. It is so annoying when your gun follows a guy behind a wall. The TTK is fine. Just the hip fire is way to accurate for how low it is. But I have no doubt this is the best MP on PS4. IMO it's the 2nd best on XB1 and blows AW and Ghosts out of the water.

Another little complaint I have is when I get put into wall running when I don't mean too. It's thrown off my aim on a few occasions. I liked it better in Titanfall where you have to hit the jump button again.

EDIT: Ignore my first sentence. I misread your point on everybody having the same weapons. That's sort of true as I haven't seen a gun that is OP. I still obviously don't have access to the higher level guns, but the KN-44 seems to do just fine against any gun, which is good.

They story is great but Treyarch is not very good and designing their levels. The stealth mission was pretty neat but was way too short. I actually liked Advanced Warfighter alot more but still think BO3 is a step in the right direction.

The suppressed Sheiva has been my favorite weapon from the campaign. Havent used it yet in MP but doubt I will play much anyway. Not a fan of the class system at all this time around.

As someone who really enjoyed TitanFalls Gameplay with its wall running, and double jumping and fast Gameplay would I enjoy this. I haven't played a COD game since Modern Warfare 2.

Allies are light, with blue lights and have names above their heads and big arrows on the minimap.

It's not really that hard.

I... disagree completely. In previous COD games, every member of a particular teamhad a similar color scheme and look.

With the fully customized character skins, enemies and friends look exactly the same. The only distinguisher is that they show up different on the map and friends have a very faint name over their heads. Everything is so washed out visually in this game that the names can be extremely hard to see. In fast paced combat, you aren't looking at the map. I constantly get confused by friends and enemies during heavy, multi-person firefights.

Play a little Nuketown (and don't just crouch in the window or behind the car). Let me know your thoughts about the immediate visual distinguishability of the two teams after that.

I played a good deal of titanfall, a game I consider to be the best shooter of this generation.

I would say the speed of Blops3 compares very favorably. Wall running is not as smooth as the fantastic execution from Titanfall. TTK seems much lower in Blop3 than Titanfall.

Generally, if you enjoyed titanfall I'd expect you to enjoy this.

Yes, it plays like titanfall should have played except without the titans.

Can't play online on PS4 still for some reason. I have open NAT and a great connection. I get 50% of the way through it downloading whatever files it's trying to download to jump in to multiplayer and then it errors out and says the server isn't available. Went to the BO3 status page and it says the server status is good, but a few people are reporting connection issues so I wonder if that's what is happening to me. It's frustrating as hell though.

Edit: Finally connected to the servers and the lag is horrible? Anyone else having trouble?

Yeah my game is busted. Wonder if the new dash is causing it. All the voiceover audio is super quiet unless I am looking right at the person. All the voiceovers for cutscenes cannot even be heard.

Anyone else getting this?

Lobbies have been weird today but lag has not been a problem for me at all today. I'm in eastern US if that helps.

I'm in the Midwest. Game has been a total mess for me since Friday. The worst experience I've had with trying to play a Call of Duty game online at launch since I don't even remember when.

Realistic is Treyarch's punishment for everyone bitching about veteran being too easy in the past few games.

Kinda scared to start my realistic playthrough... I've seen people say it's even harder than WaW veteran... is that even possible?

I was playing campaign last night and died. The checkpoint made it so I couldn't progress through the level. mission objective is through a door that would no longer open. I hate when that stuff isn't caught by testers.
