MMGN writes: Call of Duty: Black Ops III developer Treyarch is introducing a number of new features to the game's competitive element, with the series stalwart hoping to feed into the franchise's eSports growth.
Namely, the addition of a Ban & Protect system and Specialists Draft in the game's Arena and competitive components is raising comparisons to MOBAs of the League of Legends and DOTA 2 variety, with players having a more direct role in determining the rules and restrictions of a match.
However, while Treyarch understands how those comparisons can be made, the studio is adamant that its changes to Black Ops III's competitive elements haven't come out of any specific MOBA design philosophy.
David Vonderhaar, one of the creators of the Call of Duty: Black Ops series, has founded BulletFarm with the financial support of NetEase.
Oh great another well known ex dev starting a studio with AAA budget, wonder how this'll turn out especially that this is another cod dev.
Just 24 hours following the Modern Warfare 3 reveal, former Treyarch Studio Design Director David Vonderhaar has announced he’s stepping away from both the Call of Duty studio and Activision.
Call of Duty development, what's that? They just make the same basic game and keep adding more and more MT's
He's a developer in one of the most successful franchises and works from Activision, do you know the benefits you get working there? Or the pay?
Half of the peasants on this site don't understand developers are humans and are working mostly for necessity like the rest of us
Call of Duty Black Ops 3 has a new paintball mod in the works which aims to restore classic CoD multiplayer, if you’re tired of Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2
Seems to me that Activision would want to stick with the casual gamer for CoD and just touch on the eSports arena. I mean the causal CoD brodude is what made them all that money.
But I'm not complaining, I hope this tanks the game. CoD needs to disappear for a few years and come back strong. Disagree all you want, it won't hurt my ego.
activision lying again i see
