Black Ops 3 Setting Leaked, Definitely From The Future, Exo Suits Return

MP1st - Additional marketing material for Treyarch’s just-announced Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 has leaked, revealing the full look of the mysterious soldier silhouette that was teased in the announcement trailer earlier today.

[Relientk77]

Black Ops 2 was boss, can't wait.

[sander9702]

Hopefully this one will be part WW2 as well!

[Crimzon]

I dunno, it kinda looks like they're going really futuristic (moreso than Advanced Warfare) and having cyborg soldiers, which could be really cool.

[FinalFantasyFanatic]

I'm hoping for another future set one like Advanced Warefare except with multiplayer split screen (I really miss going 4 VS on the couch).

[SolidStoner]

if its heading into future then its no buy for me.. enough is enough..

Fingers crossed for WW2 or Vietnam setting!

[kevinsheeks]

I'm scared to say I enjoyed the story in 2 now because of how many disagrees you got >.>

[r1sh12]

@kevinsheeks - you just said it though?

[jc12]

Joy. Its looking like a pass for me. The "future" in COD has been pretty played out.

[NeonEnigma]

I agree that the future is played out in COD, but i think everyone (myself included) is jumping to the conclusion that BO3 wont have branching storylines from different time periods. The best part of BO2 was playing through Cold War sections and then futuristic 2025 sections.

[700p]

agreed. I wont buy this cod if its super futuristic with lame exo suits etc. Again i havnt bought a cod since black ops.

[Revolver_X_]

Enough with the exo suits already.

[antz1104]

Black Ops 1 was so much better, the retro setting was awesome. BLOPS 2 kinda dumped on that.

[Dawknight316]

Battlefront>>>>> ;>>>>>Blops 3

[GenuineGamer]

Why not both?

[Simco876]

Game hasn't even released yet lol. Haters.

[3-4-5]

After the last two....I just kind of lost my urge to play these.

I hope it's awesome though.

[ThunderPulse]

Exo's ruin everything good about CoD.

[Ahmay]

I stopped COD at Modern Warfare 2! Black ops I heard of but, a 2 and now a 3?

[lilbrat23]

Exo suit suck and I hope they have Classic

[DarkOcelet]

I am really disappointed by this but Treyarchs COD are the best so will probably get it someday.

[WeAreLegion]

That's insulting. Infinity Ward's COD's were much better until half the team left.

[Highlife]

No way infinity ward never patched their games fast enough tons of cheats and glitches in modern warfare. Treyarch supports games better and they just are better.

[HammadTheBeast]

@Highlife

Modern Warfare 1 was perfectly fine for a few years, MW2 had problems after the first year or so because of all the legal and dev problems with Infinity Ward and they left it as is.

Gameplay-wise and "fun" I'd say MW and MW2 are easily the best CoD games imo.

[InTheLab]

Cod 4 = 1 map pack and IW moves on to MW2.

WAW = 3 map pack plus new zombie mode and free map

MW2 = West and Zampella have one foot out the doors of IW sooooo....care package glitch, javelin glitch, semtex glitch, hacked lobbies, commando lunge, broken akimbo shotties, one man to this f'n day still not patch army nubtubes, $15 map packs, no dedicated servers, killstreaks basically getting nukes for you, and of course the ACR.

Blop1 = erased the BS in MW2 and added even better zombies.

Mw3= widely considered the worst Cod in the franchise. Too many issues to list.

Blops2 = broken sniping and head glitching but widely considered the best modern cod available.

Ghosts = solid mechanics but everything else is terrible. Widely considered the worst cod in the franchise or tied with MW3 or Advanced Warfare

So yeah. IW made the 3 solid cods, cod1, cod2,cod 4, but have been trash ever since. MW2 was fun but mostly broken for the majority of its existence.

[Gazondaily]

The old Infinity Ward team were THREE times the devs Treyarch are even now.

They perfected the formula and Treyarch rode on it and even then, couldn't even come close to IW's efforts.

Cod mw1 and 2 absolutely demolish any COD game after.

Blops 1 was such a horrid affair. Crap map and weapon design and visually a turd.

MW3: probably the worst maps in the franchise and horrid weapon design/ balancing

Blops 2: much better, more balanced but maps did not have that IW flair

AW: just a conservative upgrade even with the suit with boring maps and rubbish netcode and spawns

Old IW all day, every day.

[nucky64]

I disagree. I don't want exosuits (and all of the other fantastical modern warfare crap) and I especially don't want treyarch doing exo zombies - i'll pass.

[Loadedklip]

Sigh ... exo suits.

I'll pass.

[geddesmond]

Exo suits return. They destroyed COD Bye bye activision.

[Ricegum]

Wow. I'm stumped by the stupidity.

[Kryptonite42O]

Exo suits ruined it for me... was excited to see the next installment would be BO3.. but now I might have to pass..

@Unreal, I assume you meant to say that you're stumped DUE TO your own stupidity? Honestly though, not a personal attack... just curious what you find so stupid about his comment? Seems like a legitimate opinion. I share the opinion that Exo suits need to go.

[ps4gamer1983]

Exo suits look stupid as hell. HOWEVER, the level of freedom they give is awesome. It made me interested in COD again. Maybe they should makae a series for EXO gameplay, and a normal one for people who like playing the same old boring COD every year.

[MonsterChef]

Exo suits make semi automatic weapons useless, I used to love having a FAl type weapon and firing as fast as my finger let me, but ever since exo's it makes it to easy for your opponents to just jump, dodge, dive and rush out the way.. Making automatic and shot gun weapons the default

[Elit3Nick]

I'm not so sure that this is an exo suit, it looks more like Deus Ex style augmentations, where people are replacing body parts with mechanical ones

[DLConspiracy]

Sounds like it to me too. The person dissecting the leak said exo suits. Not TreyArch.. I think people flipping out need to chill a bit. Its a leak not a break down of the story or synopsis. We are just getting a picture and people are assuming its exo suits. Looks like robotic arms to me.

[Sir_Simba]

Eh

not a fan exos' nor COD set in the future.

[d_g]

exo again

meh.....

[BrunoM]

If this is the exo like or kinda like the one in AW I will be skipping black ops 3 just like AW

Go back to what made black ops 1 fun

[SilentNegotiator]

Don't worry; "Futuristic" will be the new "WW2" before you know it and then developers will stop using it unless they actually have good ideas for it.

[ShellB]

Yeah I'm in the same boat. Will have to wait on gameplay though. If it's like AW, I'll have to pass on it again.

[TRASHBOAT___]

me dont want no exoshit pleaz .

[Der_Kommandant]

My hype just dropped on a astronomical level.

[fdkenzo]

Man, i was hopping that the next COD it will be a World At War 2.....but i will skip the game again...my last COD game that i have played was Black Ops.....

How mich i miss WW games...like COD 1,2,3...or Medal of honnor AS....

[MCTJim]

I want the series to go back to its roots. Call of Duty 2, World at War and Modern Warfare were the last time I was really pumped to play a game. Its just gotten so lost in the sauce. Bring back simplicity and go back to their roots. I'm hoping this game succeeds where the last 2 have been just crappy. I want fun factor back again. Im not pre-ordering this game as I will wait for the user reviews.

[Swiggins]

Yep, the return of Exosuits pretty much ensures I wont be buying Blops 3, It was an interesting idea in AW but it made the multiplayer absolutely terrible.

Oh well, I'll have more than enough games to keep me occupied this year.

[Loadedklip]

Agree ... the idea was cool. Unfortunately really fast jerky movements combined with the limited field of view of a FPS game and the horrific net code was a recipe for disaster.

[danny818]

someone said from a snapchat vid that Japan in WW2 will be the setting because of a Japanese tree that appeared. THe future is boring lol. Back in the early ps3 days and XBOX 360 days it was exciting

[EvilWay]

I actually liked the exos but they are a problem. SledgeHammer failed to hit the mark with the exos because of the huge delay and lack of gun balance, though the maps and movement were actually pretty good. I hope Treyarch does a better job. If they have exos it needs to be on dedicated servers to help with the Delay and lag that the exos cause

[hduce]

That's my biggest gripe with Advanced Warfare multiplayer. I like the Exo suits but I feel like the P2P internet connection can't keep pace with the action.

[NeonEnigma]

Im not excited for the return of the exo suits. The best part of having multiple dev teams working on different COD titles was that each felt somewhat different, this sounds like more of the same.

[loganbdh]

No one wants this right?

[NeonEnigma]

All i have to say is that my excitement dropped tremendously.... I was hoping for a gritty WWII setting, not black ops with seldghammers exo suits.

[nucky64]

right - NOBODY. or, at least, I don't want it. I'm very disappointed in this news - no buy for me.

[Thefreeman012]

Haven't bought COD since the first black ops. Don't see any reason to go back

[sergons]

same

[WellyUK]

I wouldn't touch a Treyarch CoD with a Barge pole... Terrible dev.

[bonabice]

no one lol

[captainexplosion]

I loved the controls and traversal in AW. Hopefully this one won't have the lag and under-powered perks/killstreaks, while retaining the free for all party modes and theater from Black Ops 2.

[StormLegend]

It's just probably heavy armor. I doubt we'll be getting exo suits again.

[Lionalliance]

So much leak lately.

[Monkeycan8]

I want my god damned WW2 shooter this gen F*ck this future sh*t!!

[press-start]

could not agree more advance warfare was the worst call of duty for me.I was hoping for a ww2 setting as well my hype went down to pretty much 0 :( after hearing this.

Don't care for Exo suits at all BOOOOOOOO!! LOL

[finito82]

screw exos, its not cod period. hopefully its false, otherwise seriously not buying it, because if it has exos, its basically a carbon copy of advanced warfare which is crap of a game that you are paying all over again despite some cosmetic and few changes, the gameplay will be exactly the same, so no thanks for a $64 add-on dlc from advanced warfare.

[MegaSackman]

Why not American Civil War?

[wakeNbake]

Um because weapons took a minute (even by skilled hands) to reload.

[Immorals]

"A well trained soldier could fire up to four rounds per minute, and the use of the platoon formation by the British army meant that a constant volley of fire could be employed. "

Redcoats overpowered confirmed.

[ChrisChambers]

You're thinking of the Revolutionary War..No Redcoats in the Civil War

[MegaSackman]

I insist.

[FITgamer]

15 kills would be the cap for a match of TDM lol.

[Shuckylad]

Just do cavemen.

[MegaSackman]

Over exo suits? where do I sign?

[SaveFerris]

Call of Duty: Rock, Scissors, Paper

[WeAreLegion]

There is a game based on the American Civil War currently in development. Looks freaking awesome. It's called War of Rights.

[mokkeyrg2]

if there is exos then thats gonna be a bummer like why ffs!

[LilMassacre]

"its providing fans with the deepest and most ambitious Call of Duty ever.” don't they say this for every call of duty game? Advanced warfare was good, it was first cod game that got around the release date since mw1. So hopefully its just as good if not better than aw.

[Meltic]

''deepest and most ambitious Call of Duty ever.'' they say that to all COD games...

[MegaRay]

And it works every time. Marketing is everything, and Activision have a smart marketing staff.
I dont like Activision but thats the truth.

[annoyedgamer]

LOL...nope

[NobleRed]

“Call of Duty®: Black Ops 3 is the first title for next-gen hardware in the critically acclaimed Black Ops series. Developed by Treyarch, the award-winning creator of the two most played games in Call of Duty® history. Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 deploys players into a dark, twisted future where a new breed of Black Ops soldiers emerges and the lines are blurred between our own humanity and the technology we created to stay ahead, in a world where cutting-edge military robotics define warfare. With three unique game modes: Campaign, Multiplayer, and Zombies, it providing fans with the deepest and most ambitious Call of Duty ever.

[Rimeskeem]

I was really hoping for World War 2 style but instead they go the generic modernized shooter and add exos (again). Really disappointed with their choice.

[captainexplosion]

Yeah, cuz WW2 FPS aren't generic. And CoD doesn't really work as WW2 anyway. It's too arcadey. A serious WW2 game would be great, but I don't expect that from a CoD game anymore. I have to laugh at all the people that are genuinely surprised that this is a sequel to Black Ops rather than a WW2 game.

[MonsterChef]

Its called fatigue, people had ww2 fatigue at the start of the last console generation and what filled that void was the modern day/future shooter now its the other way around all of last generation the future shooter got milked by not only COD but a lot of game developers to afraid to take risk, leaving us gamers jaded and bored I wouldn't mind revisiting some ww2 stories I feel there's plenty left untold, sure d day got played out but there is more than that..

[ScamperCamper]

I'm excited!

[DrumBeat]

Noooooo.

No more uninspired, boring, future crap. I'm almost certain that this game is a pass for me now.

[isa_scout]

Me to. Hell at least when we played WW2 COD players learnt a bit of history in the process. I'd absolutely love to storm the beaches on D-Day on modern consoles. Every time I think of what it would look like I picture Saving Private Ryan....It looks so badass in my head.

[DragoonsScaleLegends]

God I hate this exo shit, the game just isn't fun. Even with all the hate MW3 get's it was still better than this new shit.

[Tankbusta40]

"exo suits return"

That's enough for me to pass

[T-Dawg6]

I honestly don't think it's an Exo. Looks a little different. And even if it is I highly doubt it'll be in multiplayer probably just campaign.

[Timesplitter14]

It's not a "leak" if they released the info on the official site god damnit

[scark92]

Excitement level of Black Ops 3.. just went way down.

[Grimhammer00]

I think COD is just tired. I can't imagine a mechanic or feel that would bring COD back to prominence.

Note i do not equate prominence with sales.

[Dirtnapstor]

Back to basics yes. They just need to create an online only COD with all the original MW maps...and throw the WAW maps for good measure also!

Remastered, obviously remastered...

[TheGamez100]

only interested in zombies

[DafunkyRebel]

Reznov on a jetpack

[WizzroSupreme]

That's awesome. Black Ops II was the best Call of Duty in years right alongside Advanced Warfare. In Treyarch I trust.

[AstroCyborg]

ironic people claim theres exos when you can't tell from the front he looks more like a terminater than a exo soldier

[yezz]

Doesn't really matter to people who didn't want more futuristic rubbish... It's been what, 7 years? since the last WW2 COD came out and I thought we'd finally get something closer to that time.

[AstroCyborg]

funny blops 2 was set in the future & its only been the most played cod since it released over 2 years ago

[yezz]

I don't know what you're trying to say? WW2 games sold pretty well every year back in the day but there were no options so of course they did.. When COD4 came out with some variety it sold even MORE..

Ghosts and AW have been even worse than BO2 in my opinion so no wonder that people are playing the older one.

[yezz]

Well.. guess I'm out then. People who want to hop with their jetpacks already got their game last year! Give the people who were there for the first titles something too.. This is really depressing, since Battlefield has been really dull as well. How freaking long do we have to wait for another WW2 game ffs!!!?

[Cra2yey3]

Another future cod..... Damn I was looking forward to w@w Zombies.

[PersonMan]

Exo Suits... I guess I'm sitting this one out then. Advanced Warfare is just a jump-fest. No thanks Treyarch.

[i8urCAKE]

Another FPS in future? lame.. i wish they brought back WWII

[cfc78]

Been supporting COD since the start but enoughs enough any sign of that space hopper crap and im out.

[ChrisChambers]

Was hoping for a return to WW2, or maybe a legitimate Vietnam game now that the consoles should be able to handle a dense jungle environment. But I won't right this off until I see what they show on the 26th

[babis1974]

if it's not a WW2 game, i 'll pass....i was hoping World at War II....so sad

[HaleHankock]

Let me guess. I won't be able to get in lobbies for the first month, spawns will be terrible for the first 2 to 3 months while everyone basically beta tests it for them by purchasing the game and then the good ol game ruining COD multiplayer lag....I'm going to pass again this year.

[Mr_InterNational]

Why can't they follow their own recipe of success with BO 1 & 2? WHY bring the exo suit back -_-

MEH.......

[NewAgeisHere]

Can't wait to NOT get this.

[Alduin]

Too many MW/IW fanboys on N4G. Loved Black Ops 2. And those that complain about Exo suits are only crying because they can't adjust in AW and lost their ability to "pub stomp". Quit cryin', kids.

And in case you haven't been keeping up with technology, the stuff that's been making it's way into BO2, AW, etc, is fundamentally real. We have laser weapons, kids, they just aren't perfected yet. This stuff isn't that futuristic.

If you want to stay stuck in the WWI-Vietnam eras go play another game. There are literally 1000s of copy/paste old-war shooters available. Have fun.

[objdadon]

If I wanted jet packs in cod I'd play halo thanks

[yezz]

"There are literally 1000s of copy/paste old-war shooters available. Have fun."

Oh yeah? If all these current games would be those WW2 games you would be crying like a baby for something different.. While you get 10 futuristic grasshopper games a year we get NOTHING! If you think that's ok then you're a narcissist...

[Mr_InterNational]

For the record, recent cod games sales have been on the decline for a reason! The "future" cod theme they have brought us have failed miserably in terms of sales.

[megamanX2]

"Exo Suits Return"

lol this game is doomed

[Smitty2020]

I agree with u I like basic cods not flying about like a div

[PurpHerbison]

ResidentSleeper

[Smitty2020]

exo suits are crap.advance warfare did this why can't they move on and do something different? Or are they making a copy of advance warfare n just jiggling the maps about with a different theme

[uGLYmE]

Keep your suits and go to the Vietnam era or something.

The market is completely saturated w/ futuristic shooters anyways.

[iNFAMOUZ1]

lol devs killing franchises left and right, first halo, now cod

[SoulStain]

Thanks Treyarch for saving me 60 plus bucks!!!

[objdadon]

Destiny is the first game to steal me away from cod as cod aw and ghosts was straight trash! I've been saying if treyarch fails me, I'm done with cod for good. Well Exo suits???? I'm done!!!!! I'm now a full time destiny player until the division comes out!!!!

[quenomamen]

Saves me $60.

[Vitrum]

Them making a World At War 2 instead would have made my day...

[redknight80]

Oh come on...why do two successive games with a future setting? So ridiculous...I didn't much care for Advanced Warfare and while I will give this game a chance, I am not too excited.

[neocores]

I LOVE BLACK OPS 3......Tell i see the info with advance soldiers. I AM DONE.

[kris9512]

Exo suit = no buy

[Dinkis]

Pass...

[Jamesx82x]

I was very happy today seeing that Black Ops 3 was being made and I was thinking about it randomly throughout the day wondering what would be shown at the reveal and now I see that it looks like exo suits are back.

I wont buy another COD game where you have these dumb ass exo suits. It ruins what I always enjoyed about COD games.

This future warfare stuff is boring to me. They should have left that to Sledgehammer and let Treyarch stick with the WW2-Cold War era and then have Infinity Ward do Modern era that way we get something different every year.

[Arty84]

so is Treyarch trying to dip into the Deus Ex pool? the evolving relationship between technology and Humanity

[Claudinho69]

if u dont like exo suits than get your ass on the classic and shutup, dramatic babies..

[objdadon]

So you love a split community? Brilliant!!!!

[Claudinho69]

i love options, since its proven that people tend to have different tastes..

[MetroidFREAK21]

No exo suits... Please... I loved,em in Advanced Warfare and I think they should be in only Sledgehammer games

[TheJacksonRGN]

Wow, nothing confirms these suits are going to be similar to what was in AW. Instead of jumping on the crying about exos bandwagon. How about we wait first.

[ThePresentIsAgift]

Please God no, I'm not a religious man but I really do not want exo suits in Black Ops. To that end I wish the thematic universes were separate. I am of the firm belief that Advanced Warfare is a solid title but Black Ops 2 is superior and probably because of not having the exo's. Blops 2 had such a stellar weapon selection too.

[Allshallperish1]

Exo skeletons are not meant for call of duty games. Go back to your roots. What got you to this point. That's what everybody loved about cod. I'd rather have a remaster of cod4 or mw2 then this futuristic bullshot. I played cod4 for over 50days of playing time online. I just looked at my play time for advanced warfare and it was 2 days and I got both games on day one.

[Thefreeman012]

Who the hell gets excited by these games anymore? Sprint, shoot, die, repeat. Their stories aren't compelling or interesting. Multiplayer has to be stale as hell by now..

[Smoking_Barrels]

Can we just get WW2? I wanna shoot nazis lol it was cool at first but I kept getting less interested and now we've got exo suits( I'm not 12 ) and more perks and killstreaks,cards etc. That's all unnecessary ,cod 4 was the best of the modern ones cause it was fresh yet simple now I feel like crushing the Third Reich.

[GreenUp]

Just give us MW4 for crying out fucking loud.

[mamotte]

Call of Duty: Crysis Edition.

[Allshallperish1]

Cod4 was simplified and that's what made it fun. I would pay whatever to have that game on the ps4 or Xboxone. Remember the goodtimes of cod4 and hardcore search. Damn those were the days.

[SuperbVillain]

Was hoping for a new WW2 game this gen, still waiting

[Tsubasa-Oozora]

Exo Suits are unlimited fun! :)
sledge hammer did an excellent job I must say. Advanced Warfare is a classic.
I was worried black ops would not have exo suits.

[MetroidFREAK21]

The Exo Suits were a fun, much needed change to Call of Duty. But I personally think they should stay with the Advanced Warfare series. Black Ops doesn't need Exo Suits... Black Ops 1 and 2 were fine games without them, so why throw that away? April 26th has me worried as a CoD fan

[kingbain90]

Halo wanna be. It's not CoD anymore it's Crysis of halo:Titanfall

[squeezx]

I just want a WW2 Shooter again! Stop this futuristic space shit!

[2pacalypsenow]

BLOPS II was the last Great COD

[JMyers]

Leaked*... more like controlled and timed to generate buzz, hype and guage user opinion on the game.

[Flare149]

Reading these comments I'm not surprised that their sales are declining. Not that that was a surprise to begin with since they're milking the series crazy, but I'm pretty blown away by the disparity in fan interest. Among my group of friends it's just widely accepted that the Inifinity Ward games (not counting Ghosts) are better, because glitches be damned they still play smoother and are more visceral. Conversely we're all mixed on the Treyarch ones, with zombies being the main draw but feeling like the rest of multiplayer feeling too arcadey (popular complaint is all the guns feel like toys). The latest one admittedly drew mixed reviews, ranging from zero interest to ecstatic praise over how the Exo suits mix up movement enough that it feels completely new again. Reading the comments here it makes it clear how split fans are over the different developers, and really illustrates how bad the millking is because at this point some folks (myself included) are only buying it every other year or so, and it's still not fresh or particularly exciting.

[WhiteGamerInc]

I passed on Ghosts and AW because they just didn't hold any fun for me. In Treyarch I trust. Blops 3 having exos is not gonna make a difference. I hope Zombies is better than blops 2 zombies. Mob of the Dead was the peak of Treyarch's ingenuity. Every zombie map needs to go above and beyond how good Mob of the Dead was/is. Blops 2 multiplayer was extremely well done and fun, but it got tired because people really don't support the awesome party modes. We need some good, refreshing game modes or the customizability to MAKE enticing game modes to keep people interested.

[Ghanja]

Lol , lol ; i dont understand why every time a call of duty is announced,people always comment with every call of duty "which on3 is the best" and then type in every cod title?smh

[tutt22]

EXO suits, hate it already.

[Saijahn]

you can't really go back from exosuits. The gameplay wouldn't be the same. Looks like a no go for me this year.

[patchzon]

They really need to stop these exos suits crap,its ruining the franchise.Keep it simple for god sake!Aw was so bad i had to switch to bf4.If its exos and future crap again ill pass!

[patchzon]

I hope we get the black ops we deserve this time!

[T-Dawg6]

Did everyone forget about the snapchats? They look like they were set in the past

[Drabent]

Has anyone seen the Atari documentary on netflix about that E.T. game and the landfill???....._.

[iTechHeads]

Exo Suits can't return since they were never there.
Remember that Black Ops and Advanced Warfare are not in the same universe.

BO3 will have double jumping and dodging...etc. But that doesn't mean that can only be done with Advanced Warfares Exo Suits. It will be a different, but similar technology.

[pop-voxuli]

Black what 3??? Sorry, not even remotely interested.

[Simco876]

See the thing with CoD. If you don't keep up with all the season pass or the DLC you feel left behind. I don't want to keep buying and buying for a game, then do the same stuff next year...over and over and over.

Thats why CoD is offically done for me, I hope they change their model up someday. I would like to go back to Omaha Beach.

[Saleem101]

They better not put exo suites in the game or I'll skip the game this year...

[iliimaster]

give me nuketown 24/7

[jjb1981]

Next year they're adding jet packs... Or not
