I think AdvWar is the only CoD I've not played enough to be anywhere near Prestige. I think I even played more Ghosts than I did AdvWar.

Ive just seen a tv advert for it. And resolved to only buy battlefront as a result.

Modding & Mapping Tools Coming to Black Ops 3 PC in 2016!

Over the years, the Call of Duty® community has proven itself to be among the most passionate in the world – and we count ourselves fortunate to make games for you.

We’ve been listening to one of your top requests and are excited to announce that modding and mapping are coming to Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 PC!

We’ve still got a lot of work left to do, but here’s our current plan:

You will be able to create Maps & Game Modes and more!
We will include Unranked Dedicated Server Files with the tools so you can run servers with modded content anywhere you choose.
We will provide an Unranked Server Browser so you can easily find and join servers with modded content.
Closed Alpha target date: March 2016

Please remember that this is software development, so things don’t always work out exactly as planned. Sometimes features slip or drop off altogether, sometimes they get replaced with other, more awesome features as we hit into limitations of our original plans.

There is much more news to come including updates on Open Beta timing. In order to keep you informed, we’ll periodically publish developer blog posts to share our progress with our fans. Stay tuned to the Treyarch blog for more information.

And yes, this is for real.

Sincerely,

Cesar Stastny

Director of Development

Black Ops 3's Nuketown multiplayer map isn't included with all pre-orders after all
Exclusive to GAME and digital pre-orders.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 3's bonus Nuketown multiplayer map won't be included with all pre-orders, it's been confirmed, despite Activision's marketing suggesting otherwise.

Instead, the map will only be available in physical copies brought from GAME, or with digital copies purchased via PSN or Xbox Live. The map won't be released to other players until at least spring 2016.

The exclusivity deal was spotted by UKVGDeals.com, who noticed that a recent trailer for the game stated that "GAME Exclusive for 'NUK3TOWN' content applies to physical or 'boxed' copies of Call of Duty Black Ops III Standard Edition on PS4, XB1 and PC only, while stocks last. GAME Exclusive ends Spring 2016.

"'NUK3TOWN' content is also available by ordering the PS4 console bundle, the hardened and Juggernog Editions or through any digital orders/pre-orders."

That's in contrast to Activision's official support website which states that "all retail pre-order copies of Call of Duty: Black Ops III will include an in-box code to redeem to download NUK3TOWN".

"All players who pre-order or pre-purchase Call of Duty: Black Ops III on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC will receive the NUK3TOWN Bonus Map for Call of Duty: Black Ops III multiplayer, including players who pre-ordered or pre-purchased prior to the announcement of NUK3TOWN."

Nuketown is described by Activision as the "most popular multiplayer map in the Black Ops series", having debuted in the original 2010 game. It was later remade for Black Ops 2 and Black Ops 3.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 launches at midnight tonight on PS4, Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. We checked out the Xbox 360 version earlier today, but discovered that it looks and performs worse than the original Call of Duty: Black Ops…

Here's a side by side comparison of the Xbox One vs Xbox 360 versions of the game. It's like they've gone out of their way to make the 360 version look like dogshit so people make the jump to the Next Gen consoles.

Look at that big monster truck thing about a minute from the end.

XB1: BIG ASS MONSTER TRUCK!!!!!1!!!!!

XB360: That's too difficult to draw. What about...a...blue van. Yup, there you go. Toot, toot. I'm delivering some parcels of shit for people. Tooooot.

How come?

I may have accidentally got BLOPS3. It better be shit so I can moan about it.

How come I've only got the Shadows of Evil zombie map? Is it downloading more? It doesn't appear to be.

Shitty :
After install it downloads 'stuff' and lets you only play with some bits until thats done (and the indicators for what its doing / how long it has to go are terrible)

The Giant (Zombies) is a well put together 'old zombies' feeling map(since its a copy of one from WaW thats to be expected but i've probably spent more time on it than anything else)
Shadows of Evil seems enormous as a map and has a lot of stuff to do
Zombies mode had levels you can rank up and anything your unlocking gun wise carries over between multiplayer and Zombies
'other' modes - A freerunning trial set that reminds me a little of the training maps from Mirrors Edge / Nightmare mode / Dead Ops Arcade 2

No HC Domination

I'm going to say that CODBLOPS3MP is 'alright' at the minute.

I'll play both. I was even thinking of picking up all the AW map packs when they inevitably come down in price.

I'll wait a few months, I think. They're sure to bring it in eventually....

This sound interesting, and make me want to buy it. (No one to play it with anymore though. )But....

GET ADVANCED WARFARE YOU CUNTS

Black Ops 3 sells $550 million in three days

The Black Ops brand of Call of Duty continues to be a popular one with players. Activision Publishing today announced that Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 sold through more than $550 million in its three-day opening weekend.

The publisher said that total bests the last two years' installments of the series, Call of Duty: Ghosts and Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, but it's tough to say by how much. When Ghosts launched in 2013, Activision moved away from the first-day sell-through revenue estimates it had previously given to say it had shipped $1 billion worth of the game to retailers worldwide for the launch day. When Advanced Warfare launched, it skipped game-specific performance entirely to say the Call of Duty franchise had topped $10 billion in revenue. To find a bigger Call of Duty launch, one would (presumably) have to look back to 2012's Black Ops 2, which sold $500 million in its first 24 hours on sale.

Activision also emphasized growth in download revenues for Black Ops 3, saying digital sales of the game on Xbox One and PS4 were nearly double the number posted by Advanced Warfare on those platforms in its first three days on sale. On PS4 in particular, Black Ops set a record as "the best-selling digital full game by units sold in its first day of availability."

The publisher also touted player engagement, saying the hours per player three days post-launch is the highest its ever been for Call of Duty, with Twitch determining it as the most streamed and most viewed game launch of the year.

"Call of Duty's millions of passionate fans have shown us, yet again, the strength of their commitment to this enduring franchise," said Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick. "Call of Duty: Black Ops III is the biggest entertainment launch this year in any medium, and bigger than any theatrical opening weekend ever."
