Call of Duty: Black Ops III
 

The greatest Call of Duty development team is back with their first reveal trailer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bfr0...&feature=share

Hopefully we'll get a prequel/Sequel like Black Ops II offered with the characters from both games continuing the legacy.

This looks like it could have the most solid and interesting story out of every CoD game out there.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops III
 

Looking forward to this.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops III
 

Hope they can capture the quality of the Black Ops 2 multiplayer. Subsequent releases haven't done that. Also bit weird to see them using footage from the tottenham riots in their trailer there.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops III
 

I think the Black Ops series kept what was good about the first Modern Warfare and built upon it whilst MW2 started an entirely different and ridiculous direction. IIIarc will undoubtedly bring game modes over to 3 as well as look for new ones.

This will be IIIarc's first game for the current generation and willl likely drop out as a 60gb title. I'm extremely excited to see what they can build upon after the ridiculously successful zombies mode tranzit. I'm sure we're getting closer to an even bigger open world and probably an increased player limit for it.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops III
 

We will soon find out as the reveal is due today.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops III
 

Meh, I've never been much of a fan of the Black Ops series. Gave up playing BO 1 because it was so annoying less than a third of the way through. Quite enjoyed the BO 2 campaign but the multiplayer sent me crawling back to MW2 as I just didn't see any point to it.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops III
 

COD devs ran out of ideas , looked at titanfall and thought that looks cool and then turned cod into it !!!

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops III
 

Titanfall is a great game and still the only one I really enjoy online.

I do wish CODs devs would drop the stupid future nonsense and go back to a historical or modern era. Why not make a COD set in Vietnam, that could be great!

This might actualy be the first COD I actually don't bother with. It looks silly, nano tech and what looks like super powers and transforming arms/weapons.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops III
 

Cod gets less and less interesting as the years go by , I've not bothered since black ops , bought MW3 , sold the next day ,that was it for me and COD.

Titanfall was a great game but it was bare as hell. Literally a few hours replayability at best, you can throw a prestige system in all you want but it doesn't disguise the fact that there's simply nothing to do after those few hours, no campaign, nothing.

Did this affect the game in any way? completely.

That's the PC player base of Titanfall from December 2014 till present day. They made a last ditch attempt to save the game by throwing out the season pass completely free but it was unsuccessful.

What this CoD entry is doing already is attempting to Piggyback on the hype of Titanfall, going as far as mimicking the gameplay.
It will work too, it'll be a huge success, I can guarantee that now, It has everything Titanfall could offer, as well as a Campaign and likely far superior multiplayer with more variety and a huge player base that won't dwindle after 6 months.

Also given other comments in here about CoD cloning Titanfall. Battlefield 2142 - Mechs, Shadowrun - Double Jump. Wall Running - Brink.

The ideas were already done long before either of these two, whomever makes the better game with said ideas is all that matters. I can give a very large number of reasons why this is already a superior FPS to Titanfall, the reasons given already are enough.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops III
 

Well I play Titanfall on Xbox One and am sure the player base is much bigger.

It just plays well and works, for me there are enough maps to keep me playing. Many people I know, don't even touch the campaign mode on COD or Battlefield so why it would be a big deal for Titanfall is beyond me.

Having seen a bit more about BL3 I am even more inclined to not bother.

A 4 player Co-Op campaign mode seems to the main point I am seeing.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops III
 

Literally? Nope. I've put *far more* than a few hours into it, so it can't be "literally". How is there "nothing to do"? There are plenty of maps, plenty of modes. It could do with more weapons, but that's about it.


What does it matter about the lack of a campaign?

"Most people" don't buy COD or BF for the campaign. The BF games are infamous for having *awful* campaigns, while the COD campaigns are hit and miss, e.g. MW and AW's campaigns were good, while Ghosts' campaign was an abomination. And even when good, they're still very short.


How would having a singleplayer campaign have helped Titanfall retain a multiplayer playerbase?

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops III
 

I literally could only play it for a few hours and haven't run it since*.

To be honest, I *only* buy COD and BF for the campaign, and the latest few BF campaigns have received mostly positive reviews.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops III
 

well in the three hours O spent on Titanfall today there was over 3700 people worldwide playing. Plenty to give me some great games.

COD can stick it now. I will await BF5 and Titanfall 2.

Really? Where? :confused:

Maybe "infamous" was too strong, but the series is known for great multiplayer and poor singleplayer.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops III
 

I think when it comes to a Battlefield and COD debate a lot of people forget you're looking at two games that are actually entirely different. One is an arcade adrenaline rush, run and gun. The other is massive borderline sim with vehicular warfare.

Titanfall was a great game but again it lived on hype and innovation. It's paved the way for other games to utilize the ideas and do so far better than it ever could. Game modes? COD has more, maps, COD has more, weapons, COD has more, Titans? Killstreaks, Gameplay? Undoubtedly the freshest in many years but again that's what this black ops will do, take the best and make it better.

Titanfall shipped under 2.5 million copies in my estimation. Despite it's hype and praise it never really took off as was expected. 3700 players on Xbox and then 3 on PC. That tells you a lot about it's success and lifespan if COD 4 and CS:GO push over a million combined.

EA's numbers released for Titanfall were 925,000 sold in the US. They wouldn't release the rest. The answer is simple. Whether people like it or not, a budget of around $100-150 million has left this game a commercial flop. If you factor in the new consoles it probably sold then it wasn't. But that was the exact reason it didn't get the massive sales that were anticipated. £500 for an Xbox then £60 for the game, silly. Its likely there weren't even enough consoles to reach it's target.

They jumped into bed with Microsoft over having what could have been a 5 million+ game over PC, Xbox and PS3. It'll improve with the sequel but they really should've went last gen, GTA V did this, I doubt it'd have record sales if it was Xbox One, PS4 and PC only.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops III
 

Until you decide to become a troll and run and gun with a noob tube in Battlefield until everyone rage quits.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops III
 

No doubt, the first thing they do is head for the aircraft. The next time you see it, it's kamikaze diving into a tank.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops III
 

I prefer BF as you can run over campers with a tank

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops III
 

Not if they're on a rooftop.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops III
 

Its better when they're on a roof you use your tank to knock down the building (yes BF4 has destroyable scenery)

The kamikaze jets are a bit of a turn off though, wish they'd introduce a penalty or something for that.
