what went wrong?
nothing. it's actually pretty fun.
>inb4 nice shill anon xdddd
is the PC version fixed yet?
Black ops 2 was better and i can't put my finger on it
Not much
sdf
Zombie mode is fucking trash
>>322439452
The movement system isn't fully utilized.
>>322439993
This pretty much.
The most entertaining thing to me is how bad Global Elite players from CSGO are at this game. For as much as they talk about how casual CoD is, they sure can't hang.
Story makes no sense.
Booster/Jetpack is useless against aim assist, which is on by default settings when you first start playing, so no skill based movement/dodging allowed
Basically what >>322441431 said
No boosting left and right nearly instantly, only slide boosting straight forward after running for a second
Wall running is cool but mostly useless
I might just suck though because I tried it for a few days on a PS4 with a PS4 controller, which in not used to. That might be the case
why did they add so much shit to zombies?
why can't they just keep it nice and simple like der riese?
>>322442615
>Wall running is cool but mostly useless
It also has an odd delay on it before it actually activates, to the point that people that haven't even played the game notice it, even if they're just watching a YouTube video of the game.

Yearly releases. Just like how Windows 7 was fine and then Windows 8 had to pile a bunch of crap onto it. Idea guys gotta stay hired somehow.
What the fuck is even up with zombies anyway? I hate it when games use an HP system like that but don't show you the HP. Headshotting a zombie should kill it one shot, not 2+ shots that may or may not have connected because all the zombies do is wiggle a little when hit.
Not much. It's quite fun and I'm glad I picked this one up after taking a break since Black Ops 1.
>>322443087
Nobody is forcing you to play the filler garbage that IW and Sledgehammer shit out.
BO2 lasted a decent 3 years.
when mods are released, i hope people start making fun zombie maps that don't have all the stupid shit treyarch added
I miss support streaks
Was nice for those of us not so great at staying alive
>>322443870
>I can't just ignore the fancy trimmings and just play to see how long I can survive
>>322443769
The last good CoD was MW2, IW is the only dev studio that has made a good CoD game.
BO3 is pretty good for a mindless arcade shooter. If you buy them every year like an idiot I could see how it could get boring
>>322444013
Personally I most enjoyed MW3
Biggest range of enjoyable weapons
And support streaks were great as I said already
>>322444013
Have you played Advanced Warfare? It was really fun.
>>322439452
bumper jumper claw grip sweaty tryhards and fucking 3rd party controllers
also way too much shit that's the same-burst rifle, burst smg, burst shogun, burst sniper
>>322444313
I have, it was the last chance I was going to give the series. It subsequently convinced me that the series wasn't worth it anymore, and maybe in 4-5 years it'll finally be new enough to enjoy again.
The story is fucking terrible compared to BO1 and 2. What the fuck happened?
BO2 story had more choices that affect the games ending compared to your average RPG released in the same day and age. BO3 is a "you were dead all along!" and you don't even get to know that unless you end up reading the flash fast supposed journal entries that play at the start of every mission.

I've preordered every game in the series since MW and this is the worst one yet.
I hate jetpack and parkour shit. The game is fine, but I cant stand that playstyle in games.
>>322444563
What did it even have to do with the first two aside from Nova 6 slipped in for no reason
>>322444676
And yet, somehow it managed to draw me in much better than any other CoD game to date, weird how technical specifications don't always equate to how fun a game is, huh anon?
No cute anime girls.
>>322444681
I've always thought the knife should become equipment instead of baseline, one of the few changes I love
>>322444563
Can you give me a run down of the story? I didn't buy it because the beta was fucking terrible.
>>322444794
Hey, not everyone has good taste.
AW was better.
>>322444747
Nothing really just in the same world.
Only lasting thing was the lack of Drones due to Menendez
>>322444681
>complaining about campers in BO3
What the fuck? This game has so much movement and paths to take that campers only live if they constantly adjust position. You do use the movement right? You're not playing on console right?
>>322444898
Yeah, because you obviously don't
>>322444681git gud
There should be a non specialist power mode. I don't really care for them .
>>322441758
>SMFC in CSGO
>Always top scoreboards in BO3
You're just playing with shitters
>>322444681
>game emphasizes camping and playing defensively
Does it? Movement speed is quite high, I win lots of encounters by being aggressive/moving
>middle area is usually full of chest high walls and corners, giving the defensive team the advantage
>too many maps that uses a three lane layout
>this also forces attackers to congregate in a narrow area with clear line of sight for people in the middle to shoot
>some of the maps are also too small, making the respawn wonky
All true, also all things that we can hope might change in the DLC. First map pack looks good, but it's more THREE LANE E-SPORTS shit, so it can't be THAT good
>guns are unbalanced, with AR's and Sniper rifles near useless
>too many useless perks and equipments
Yes
>some specialists are too OP
I don't really agree
>flak jacket is too OP
Sure
>two hit kill melee gives the advantage further to campers
Melee was never a good anti-camping tactic
>knife melee is now locked to an animation
>shittiest flinch pattern in the series
Sure
>new movement options are pretty much an after thought
They're fun. I really like them
>no more specialist classes ala shield
Agreed
>>322444897
you are normal brohan then you get ripped apart by a robot and get some cyborg shit including access to the AI matrix inside your head- for training purposes
the main cyborg badass leader gets in your head to train you while you get fitted with cyborg shit but you die while in surgery and the rest of the game is a loose interpretation of his life through your eyes, because after death your existence still goes on in the matrix-- basically his mind melded with yours when you died---- he was fine but what was left of your consciousness fused with his so you go through the campaign thinking you're following him but actually it's just what he did earlier but with different characters to rationalize that you're still alive
>>322444747
Nothing. Nova 6 and Menendez were slipped in, thats it. There was no actual continuation from BO2, it was a stand alone story but still in the same universe.
>>322444897
The story revolves around you as a semi new recruit to some black ops team and you yourself get absolutely fucked up out in the field on your first mission. You somehow survive and undergo augmentations and surgery to survive so youre basically an android from there on out. Afterwards you and your partner go about uncovering a supposed black site cover up from the CIA and track down former team members who have supposedly turned against you and the CIA, and then you and your partner go crazy from exposure to an AI that developed and manifested in the CIA black site from the thoughs and feelings of test subjects, and you both go crazy and you end up killing your friend and then at the end you apparently who you thought you were.
They should make a level editor for the free run mode, that would be tight
>>322444980
yeah if anything blops 3 sucks because it's too fast paced and you need a 3rd party controller to "compete"
>>322445083
Yeah, the shitters being the GE.
I haven't played a single one that has gone positive against me. Hell, I wouldn't even know these bads were GE if they didn't plaster it all over their Steam profiles and wear [CSGO] clan tags like they're gods gift to FPS. The best one I've run into had a 2KD and even he was minced meat.
But hey, we all know that CS is the OG casual game made for the kids that couldn't cut it at arena shooters.
>>322445256
>you somehow survive
Try again friendo
>>322444980
>>322445034
>>322445087
I like the new movement options too. But unless you're running up on a guy who's already got his attention elsewhere, 4/5 times you're going to lose the firefight. AW's jumps were nice enough to dodge things consistently, but the movement system in BO3 is too sluggish to use it as a firefight tool. It's mainly used to get to an area before the enemies do. In previous games, you could flank the enemies from behind, but in this one, there's really no point because of the wonky spawn system. Most of the time, we win by capturing the middle and then spawn trapping the other team into oblivion. This happens 9/10 times.
>>322439452
Lack of conservation of momentum and movement is really slow (especially wall running which is more likely to get you killed than not, boost jumping gaps is better), maps lack verticallity, they need to stop using the same engine because the netcode and hit detection system it uses is horrendous. It's still fun though and I don't feel like I've waste my money, just disappointed with it.
>>322445492
>complaining about campers
>spawn trapping
>capture the middle
Ahh now I see. You like to play Domination. I stay away from that game mode because I don't feel like dealing with campers and unlimited scorestreaks.Play a different game mode and you won't deal with many campers
>>322444897
You're a CIA soldier who becomes a cyber-soldier with your buddy
Spec Ops leader and his team show you the ropes
On missions with buddy, find evidence that Leader and his Team have gone rogue
Go to his last mission location, where you find Big Corporation and CIA was doing evil AI experiments
You and buddy have to hunt down Leader and Team for I cant remember why
Turns out Leader and Team were infected with evil AI
You and Buddy have been too
Kill Leader and Team, but Buddy leaves with the AI
Buddy goes to Big Corporation HQ and starts a robopocalypse with the evil AI
Fight your way in, kill Buddy, fight the AI in your head and kill it
The end
>>322445480
You do survive dummy.
You die in surgery not when the robot kills you.
>>322445480
Well you don't know you don't survive unless you look at the explicit subliminal messages during the second mission, where once you have your "freakout" and relive the experience of being attacked by the robots again, you suddenly see yourself in 3rd person for the first time, and continue to from there on out. Also the brief flash of Taylor being dragged out of the OE room. But you don't find out you're dead without somehow trying to read the opening texts that flash across the screen at the start of each mission, supposedly being Taylor's Journal and mentioning that he implanted the memories of an OP that Taylor and his team underwent into your dying mind.
>>322445256
Menendez came up? Where?
>>322445729
except you died on the operating table in level 2 and your missions after that are just memories of taylor and the gang
>>322445689
Nope. TDM usually.
>>322445824
General in Egypt says you can thank Menendez for the lack of Drones
>>322445840
Well it's the story that the game presents, if there were tweests in the Star Wars intros that flashed by on mission-starts, I didn't notice
>>322445849
Console? Because if not you're making it up. A majority of games have no campers and the spwans flip so much because everyone is running around everywhere
>>322445824
In one of the egypt missions, the one where you blow the support struts underneath some street. Hendricks mentions something about Menendez to the soldier you save in the first mission who escorts you for a couple missions from there. Something about Menendez being a prick who got what he deserves, so its hazy as to which ending BO2 is canon for BO3 events.
best cod since blops 2. skipped mw3 and ghosts
excited to see how the dedicated servers and the mod tools play out this year
>>322445978
Yes. PS4 is home of the CoD franchise now. That's where I'm going to play.
>>322446149
Ah I see. A majority of console players don't use the movement system as much as PC because of the way the controls are setup on the controller. That's why people play so conservative and camp on console. If you ever see PC gameplay you'll notice a world of differenceToo bad PC playerbase is dying
>>322445968
well i imagine if someone didn't do that but read the black ops comic book with taylor's missions they would realize the similarities anyway
that would be really cool but i didn't do that, kind of wish they promoted it more
i still hate this game because it's halo now

It came out at the same time of overhyped FO4. Literally reviews saying "buy FO4 instead". FO4 wasn't out.
There's also that people are getting aware of how overdone the CoD franchise is. Yearly releases and stuff. Memes aside, it looks like they tried to make the game different this time. That they tried to improve. And it's overlooked, so that's pretty sad.
It just costs too much. Thrice as much as other CODs.
They try too hard to pull another Reznov twist, but this one doesn't work at all.
>>322444013
I disagree, while CoD4 is still the best one, Treyarch make really solid releases, iw-sledgehammer are utter dogshit
I've not played a call of duty since Black ops 1 and I still play WaW online on PC sometimes, it's still really fun.
so... no Woods, no Mason, no Harper, no Menendez,no Reznov
Why is the game call black ops 3 again?
>>322447238
Brand recognition
