Why You Should Be Excited About 'Call Of Duty: Black Ops 3'

Forbes: I know, I know, Call of Duty comes out every year. And every year, tweaks and settings aside, we have a pretty good idea of what to expect: a big, bombastic campaign, full of massive set pieces, barked orders and moments when everything goes really slow, fast-paced multiplayer where you’ll be killed by 12-year olds every thirty seconds or so, and some sort of zombies-style co-op. Neither subtlety nor innovation are big concerns. For those reasons, Call of Duty becomes a popular target for shade of all kinds, from comments sections, forums, blogs and all over. But Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 is coming out on Friday, and I’m excited.

I like the mention of Destiny at the end of the article, it’s as if the thought of any new game to free you from the repetitive grind is exciting

venom063087d ago

another CoD fanboy hype article. This really isn't much more than Black Ops 2 with slightly different movements. Another CoD, another year. And next year, THAT ONE will be next "awesomest" CoD ever.. blah, blah, blah.

jokerisalive3087d ago

Love this series and Treyarch's work overall. Cant wait till Friday.

FullmetalRoyale3087d ago

Yeah I'm excited as well. My buddy didn't like AW, so we barely touched it, but thanks to the beta I know we both like the mp for Blops 3. Not to go off topic too much, but I am very glad it comes out Friday, so that the last several days waiting for Fallout don't kill me. I am genuinely excited for Blops, though.

Black Ops 2 was the last CoD I went crazy with hype for. I wasn't as excited for Ghosts or Advanced Warfare, but Black Ops 3 does look good. Can't wait to play right away on Friday because digital preinstall :)

FullmetalRoyale3087d ago

Yeah I have to get my copy when I get off at four. ;)
My buddy and I are going to play Campaign, some MP, then Zombies. What about you?

MetroidFREAK213087d ago

I'm not a big fan of co-op sadly, but MP will be all I play. Maybe zombies, and I'll beat the campaign solo and probably never play it again. Same thing with every CoD haha

FullmetalRoyale3087d ago

I feel you. :) If I didn't play mp games exclusively with the guy I do now, I wouldn't give a crap about any coop. I got lucky and met my best friend the very first match I played in MW2(was also my first FPS) and since then have been all about games we can play together. Which of course mp falls into the category of. My buddy Mike was all about Zombies in Blops 1&2, which is the reasoning behind the order in which we'll play it.

Idk what platform on which you'll play, but perhaps you'll smear my brains on the wall? One can only hope. Lol

MetroidFREAK213087d ago

I play on Xbox One... The cool thing to hate

FullmetalRoyale3086d ago

Looks like you won't be killing me, then! ;)
Yeah that kind of crap irritates me(the cool thing to hate), regardless of what the topic is. You either like it or you don't, you know? Anyway, I hope you enjoy the game, man! It was good talking to you.

MetroidFREAK213086d ago

Thanks man, it will be the same game on XB1 and PS4 so I'm sure we will enjoy our versions the same. Enjoy the DLC early and I hope it's good. Take care :D

raWfodog3087d ago

I haven't played a COD game since the original Black Ops. I might check this one out.

franwex3087d ago

I hope it's good, Halo 5 was such an unbearable let down.

Too bad God of War isn't on PSNow. It would've slaughtered the Avengers and Aloy!!

roadkillers1029d ago

Yea, I can't find any. Not even the digital versions, Facebook has them going $400 over retail.

poppatron1029d ago

I need to cancel my subscription, there’s rarely anything I like that I don’t already have

Stanjara1028d ago

So Avengers are fine? I thought that the game is dying.

Terrible month. Detroit and Black Ops 3 (available for a limited time) are already in the PS Plus Collection, and Detroit was also a free game on PS Plus years ago. WWE 2K Battlegrounds is terrible. Only the smaller games that were added are good additions.

PS Plus is way better than PS Now right now (quality > quantity) and has been good for a long time, and great since the PS5 released. I was tempted to subscribe to PS Now over the holidays but I just didn't trust in the quality of the service. They need to up their game because the quality of the service is deteriorating. I'm starting to wonder if they're going to ditch PS Now as we know it and basically add it as an extra tier to PS Plus because that's what they've been prioritizing.

Not sure why WWE 2K Battlegrounds was a highlight for this month. I browsed the games in December and it was there/played it.

SamPao1169d ago

Darksiders genesis. Thats a pretty neat addition

gamer78041169d ago (Edited 1169d ago )

The game was a massive disappointment, even playing with a friend it was terrible. But we finished it til the end. The game is so buggy and just not much fun a lot of times.

iplay1up21169d ago

Now, is not nearly as good as Game Pass, but $60 for a year? Well worth it!

gamer78041169d ago

Detroit become human is fantastic. One of the best this gen

oakshin1169d ago

Last time blop 3 was on here it came with the dlc

RgR1169d ago

Great for me.

I was looking to play darksiders genesis...it's the last one I need to play. And little nightmares is another one I wanted to try.

The rest I've already played or am not interested. Overall I think they're great additions.

iplay1up21169d ago (Edited 1169d ago )

I was disappointed with Darksiders 3. I played for a couple of hours, and deleted it. That is just me though, a lot of people liked it. Also the price is right. Hope you do like it!😁

RgR1169d ago

Yea I'm with you there. The beginning and gameplay feels so different but after a certain point I feel like it got much better.

I played it in classic mode so it would be more similar to other darksiders but man did I die a lot in the beginning due to learning how to play. Came into it fresh from darksiders 2.

SamPao1168d ago

Yeah, I am still playing frostpunk from last month...
Heard good things about little nightmares
