Shooting isn't the most important part in COD - it's map awareness. Know the map, look at your radar, listen to the sounds and don't stand in the open.

This is true, but you still need good accuracy/reactions.

Great pharo game play!

nice round

you are using both long barrel and rapid fire on that, correct?

 

[Jrmint]

I see no good reason to carry a secondary weapon.

The BM launcher is great. It locks onto targets fast and reloads fast. With the amount of UAVs in objective games I think getting the UAV down asap is critical.

yup

i just pick-up something off of someone i kill in case of emergency

PS4 version good? Read to stay away from PC version, friend has it on PS4 and I had a blast with BLOPS II, this hold up?

Typical musings about COD games being casual poop aside, is it fun for what it is?

Frame-rate holds up really well in multiplayer.

 

[MillionStabs]

Does anyone else have that problem where theater only shows the most recent game, and the rest are infinite loading symbols?

Might just be PC, but idk

Sure as hell shouldn't be called Black Ops 3.

You have to wonder if it was indeed originally meant to be a black ops game. There is virtually no connection to the previous two games besides I think the

Considering that Ghosts and AW did so poorly, perhaps Treyarch were made to change the name to Black ops 3 as the Black ops brand was still so insanely popular. Much like when IW tried to dump the COD name off MW2.

Jesus, the Gorgon is crazy.

I prestiged and lost it, and then it took me like six games to get up to level 7 to unlock it.

Then I got from level 7 to level 11 in one game with it.

 

[SmoothRunningGun]

The campaign is awesome and has tons or replayability. Great job by 3arc. Hopefully zombie mm is working now.

 

[AaronMT86]

Free points: shoot down UAV's. Nobody else does it.

 

[Trojita]

The campaign on Xbox One has crash to the Xbox "desktop" at least like 10 times. This last time restarted the Xbox :S

This is on split screen 2 player.

It crashed on me a bunch on solo campaign, too. :|

 

[Keihart]

This multiplayer is nuts, shooting while wall running or droping or sliding is great, it's what i love about uncharted in fact, being able to shoot anytime.

I won my second free for all, i felt validated. That slide shotgun combo was wrecking dudes only con is triying yo use it with lag :V

Is there a GAF BLOPS 3 Community? it would be cool to set up some private games.

This this this. Any time I hear comms call in an enemy UAV I take it out.

 

[Brazil]

Still unable to get a single match without game-breaking lag.

Good stuff, Treyarch.

 

[GravyButt]

Whatever that mode where you have to stop the enemy robot from reaching your point to win. Yea I was the only person on my team with a rocket launcher and took it down everytime. Felt good . Minus the turds that would stand in front of my missles. Seriously?

 

[Relix]

Are dedicated servers down? Getting of of lag akin to P2P gaming.

Thanks, this is good to know.

Also, I watched some footage from previous page - if I'm no good at the jetpack style Tribes gameplay introduced recently in the series, am I going to be garbage at this game?

Question: is theater mode borked?

Don't reveal our secrets!

Most likely

Me too. Also seeing some lobbies have like 15 players when the max is 12. Some really weird shit going on haha

Zombies takes so long to get the Pack-a-Punch up and running.

 

[HammerFace]

Hey can someone answer a question for me? Does the ps4 version allow for 4 player local splitscreen? I've heard several conflicting reports about this.

 

[Randam]

anyone else with problems in zombies mode on pc: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1137278

You're welcome.

I wouldn't say that. But I would recommend you try and learn some of the new abilities.

I'm on my way to gold rocket launchers because I shoot those things downs left and right like a mad man. Actually a lot more people seem be to running the launchers lately tbh. In every lobby I'm in there's at least one person besides me shooting shit out the guy.

 

[RoboPlato]

I always forget just how abysmal I am and the MP in CoD games.

 

[shungokusatsu]

Last TDM game I played had 30.... Weird shit is happening, to the point specialist look like the Zimbie characters in MP.

 

[jet1911]

No fucking clue what is happening in the story lol

Zombies takes so long to get the Pack-a-Punch up and running.

Yeah it does and it's a pain in the ass! Got to the last step tonight and died bc buddy and I wall ran into each other on the same wall killing the Malwag or whatever it's called... FML.

I just shoot them down with the Gorgon. This damn gun is the ultimate multipurpose tool.

 

[sdornan]

After five levels, I'm regretting I got this for the campaign. Is the rest of it any better?

 

[perineumlick]

This campaign is absolutely terrible. Worst one yet.

 

[Kwansu Dudes]

Yep. Game drives me nuts but is surprisingly addictive.

 

[Ruff]

Just completed the campaign...


...what? I think someone was on something when they came up with this story.

 

[harrytang]

Bought this for the MP but my controller does not want to let me click the stick for sprint. I keep starting and stopping like crazy. Just walking all over the maps...hope this a bug and not my controller.

 

[Toa TAK]

Story was weak without Goyer. I mean, you know how bad stories in video games are when fucking Goyer can tell a decent tale in a COD game (both BO 1 +2).

 

[Jarrod38]

A nice five kill feed with the Hellstorm.

Elite Controller is a game changer with this game. Being able to jump and slide while aiming makes me a ninja assassin.

Change your right trigger to only move half way and use a high fire rate weapon. I can never go back to a regular controller.

Don't need an elite controller for that... Bumpr Jumper ftw

is mentioned once through the campaign, but other than that i didn't find any references to previous BO games, which is a bit understandable since BO2 had multiple endings.

Same here bro

I'm in the US, 65Mbps connection and in every game I played yesterday I got the dreaded "connection interrupted" message.

Maybe tonight will be a different story

 

[Falchion]

I need to make myself equip a launcher. In BO2 I was always shooting down scorestreaks but I haven't done that at all in BO3 so far.

 

[chixdiggit]

How are you supposed to know what to do in Zombies? Way more going on then just killing them. I mean what the hell is even the goal?

Welcome to zombies mode. Half the fun is figuring out what the map's easter egg is.

Just got rapid fire with the Gorgon. Not that much of a difference.

Tons of clues allll over. Look at the train maps... Check out the rings you can smash or electrify as the beast... Listen to all character dialog... Basically play a bunch and explore everything. The shadow man gives some good info.
