To be fair, Black Ops 1/2 have had fantastic campaigns. This one just surpasses both in spectacle and fun.

I bought BLOPS2 and never touched the SP/Campaign.

Then I got every achievement for the campaign in Ghosts :shepicide:

go play Black Ops 2, it has RPG/multiple choice dialog elements and it's really good. The way you play can really impact the way the story turns out too. I loved it, and the set pieces were really good.

Looks great so far. Maps look good. Disappointed in apparent lack of Combat Training like mode, but that's it.

You can play against Bots in Private Matches.

BO2 combat training gave 1/2 xp and unlocks, had matchmaking, and didn't even track stats. it was the only playlist you could play hardpoint and demolition in as the game got older. it was the best.

I thought the Black Ops 2 campaign was one of the worst in CoD history. I hope it's not a let down. AW was pretty fun.

I haven't played CoD on PC since Black Ops 1 for that very reason.

From my understanding AW was (in part) full of hackers because there were no dedicated servers. BO3 has dedicated servers. That being said, there will always be someone who sucks at playing the game enough to go through the effort to make your life miserable and make them feel better at it.

It's by Treyarch this time around so there will be a lot less cheaters than other CoDs by comparison on PC.

Been playing for a couple hours and this is honestly one of the best single player campaigns in a FPS in a long, long loving time. Just what I expect from Treyarch. I can't wait to see the multiplayer maps.

Does it have any attachment to the other Black Ops games storywise? Seems like everyone/everything involved in those games would be dead by now.

Been playing for a few hours on PC. Easily the biggest leap the series has taken since WW2 -> MW. The presentation and scope of everything i've seen so far (half the single player and a couple rounds of multi + 5mins of zombies) makes me feel optimistic about trying the rest and for once it feels like there is a lot to do.

Preload worked fine for me on steam. Good thing too, because the game took like two days to download with my Aussie internet connection.

Ah i am trying to preload from my phone as greenman just emailed me the key and I am at work. Got my wife to activate the key on steam before she left for work tonight but thought i would be able to download it using my phone. Oh well.

Thinking about grabbing this for cheap on GMG, but looks like no nuketown. Will it be available as DLC later on for those who didn't get the pre-order bonus?

Thought it did include that. But if not, they want money and it is stupid to split the player base. So yes, I wouldnt even question it.

I ordered it on GMG yesterday. They sent me a code about 2 hours ago and it actually has Nuketown despite them saying it wouldn't. YMMV obviously. I can't imagine they won't be selling it as DLC after launch.

Sweet. I'm not huge on COD but for $40, gently caress it. This one sounds pretty cool. I also haven't played nazi zombies in forever so that'll be fun.

You needed to link your account on the BLOPS3 website before 9PM on 11/5. I think it's probably too late at this point for anyone who is playing.
