If they give us a multiplayer beta two weeks before release, we can get sick of it and quick in time for actual release!

Zombies is popular enough that every CoD in some for or another since Black Ops, and they've done a lot of DLC zombie maps as well. I'm honestly surprised the haven't tried spinning it off into it's own thing more than that mobile game from a few years back.

As long as it's not linked to atrocious challenges like BLOPS was. I forget which perk it was, but it had a complete rear end requirement like be first to capture a flag in a round or something equally annoying. And as long as it's not as loving horrid a grind as everything in Battlefield Hardline is.

Marathon Pro wanted you to get 15 captures in CTF, 10 first blood medals and to sprint 26 miles - it wasn't that bad. Flak Jacket Pro got a bit annoying trying to get 5 throwbacks, but the really annoying one was Tac Mask Pro that wanted you to to kill 20 players blinded by your Flashbang, 20 players blinded by your Concussion Grenade and 20 players poisoned by your Nova Gas.

"But she goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She is the champion and vindicator only of her own."
The primary result of having substantial Perk Pro requirements is me not prestiging once I grind them out.

Don't forget bomb planting in Demo or S&D for Flak and Ninja.

I literally didn't get Tac Mask Pro until 10th prestige, and that wasn't due to a lack of trying.

That's a shame. It makes CHUGGAing so much fun when you shrug off all the tacs.

What? Marathon pro was the worst, 3 or 4 enemies camping their flag in blops is the reason I won't play ctf to this day. If you played dom correctly you'd get tac mask pro every prestige.

"Thrust jumps" sounds suspiciously like exo boosting. But that teaser thing did make me want another Deus Ex game really bad. This is literally going to be Call of Duty: Human Revolution, I'm not sure I like it.

On another note, I played multiplayer in AW for the first time in two months today, and it was actually kind of fun. It was also nice playing the first map pack for the first time, considering I couldn't actually play it when it came out, since it was locked in its own playlist. I liked Urban and Core, could take or leave Sideshow.

Blops 3 reveal trailer to be out later today, but CharlieIntel is providing some information early via twiter:

Platforms
- Current gen only (PS4, Xbone, PC)

Monvement/Map Design
- "You can run along a wall, jetpack through the air, switch directions mid-jump and land with a lengthy power-slide."
- “But there's good news for existing fans: you're free to keep both feet on the ground.”
- "The new maps are designed to let either style work, creating a wonderful feeling of flexibility not present in the series before."

Specialists
- "9 specialists total, each with 2 abilities, a special weapon and a move or other perk, for a total of 18 choices"
- Many forms, like a robot whose arm can transform into a gatling gun,or a futuristic hunter who can see through walls

Plus a few new screenshots.

We'll never get shotties and LMG's as good as the Blops 2 weapons ever again. :smith:

Edit: There is no reason to buy this game now. RIP the best cod feature.

I still miss the days when you would dive onto people to jab them with the revive syringe. Combat Medic Toast was great.

Never liked dive to prone because I play Tactical layout so I was always dolphin diving by accident and getting killed. Accidental thumbstick clicks are the most frustrating thing for me in gaming and I can't stop doing it.

Looking forward to this because it should be at least more interesting than Titanfall's no-titans/no-bots mode which was boring and awful.

what horror the gas

quote:

Ruin, pictured above, is the callsign of brawler Donnie Walsh, who was described as headstrong and fearless. He's armed with a pair of gravity spikes, which, when charged, can be slammed into the ground, creating an area of effect attack that kills nearby enemies. Ruin's special ability is Overdrive, which gives him a temporary boost of speed. Bunting described him as "a rusher."

Seraph is the nickname of Zhen Zhen, the adopted daughter of a high-ranking military official in the game's fiction. She wields a high caliber handgun called the Annihilator, that Bunting said is "about evaporating people." Her special ability is called Combat Focus, and it accelerates her scorestreak earning potential.

Allesandra Castillo, a member of Brazil's special forces, goes by the callsign Outrider. Her unique weapon is a compound bow and arrow called the Sparrow, which fires explosive bolts. Her special ability is Vision Pulse, a ping that reveals the location of nearby enemies.

Finally, there's Reaper, a combat robot designed by the game's Coalescence Corporation. This advanced military robot can transform its arm into a mini-gun, called the Scythe. Its special ability, Glitch, lets players "flashback" to a previous position — sort of a time travel/teleportation move, and similar to another hero-based shooter character, Overwatch's Tracer.

Sold.
