Every demon wants his pound of flesh
I'm installing it in the UK here, just delivered from Amazon. Where is the Nuk3town code?

I pre-ordered Ghosts and it didn't come with a code for Free Fall and I got passed from pillar to post between Amazon and Activision and didn't get anywhere.

I want my Nuk3town.

Edit: WTF, is this accurate?

http://www.gamespot.com/articles/black-ops-3-nuketown-map-is-uk-exclusive-at-retail/1100-6432005/

quote:

General pre-orders on Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 in the UK will not include access to the Nuketown multiplayer map, as was previously indicated. Instead, only those that have put money down at high-street retailer GAME will have access to it.

Thus far, Activision has not highlighted this exclusivity and, instead, indicated the content would be available for simply pre-ordering, regardless of where.

Played all night, game is fun. More exciting than Ghosts or AW for sure.

Audio mix is horrible though :( Everyone in the party complained about it, really annoying, had to crank volume to hear the game well.

CoD newbies are as horrible as ever, maybe worse with all the extra poo poo they have to deal with in this game.

That also was a problem with BO2, especially on PC. No idea what they're thinking with that stuff. I think "Treyarch Mix" was the best option

I didn't notice because I was running around with the full auto shotgun which takes two shots anyway...

... and loving wrecks because it has crazy range for a shotty and works beautifully while jumping.

I literally put it down because I was afraid it was going to ruin my aim with 'normal' guns if I kept using it.

I tried the pump action and the semi auto. The pump is inconsistent and has a bad one shot range. The semi auto NEVER one shots and fires slow.

That might actually be breaking some EU consumer laws right there if Amazon were touting they had the pre-order stuff too.

Having played the Campaign for a bit, I'm reasonably sure it's supposed to be a semi-parody of itself by this point. The first major crisis in the game proper, within the is basically some dumbass forgot to uncheck the stay logged in box when using the NOT ALL THE TOP SECRET CIA OPERATION FILES EVER LOL cloud last.

And the very first thing you see ingame is our highly-trained spec-ops troopers not realizing that shooting down a plane that's on a flight path over them might involve flaming wreckage landing on where they're sitting. :lol:

This is why you always name your classes according to some obscure theme. I like various puns on song titles or movies based on the primary focus of the build.

I'm considering buying a CoD game for the first time since MW2, what generally happens after the honeymoon phase ends?

Also how is the zombie mode? I've never played one and people are talking about separate exp systems and unlocks and big secret-filled maps that sound like Mass Effect 3 or Dragon Age Inquisition and that poo poo is right up my street.

That's a feature requested by e-sports players, actually. They've always been a seven letter word to them since Halo, those whining, baby, "the floor is lava you guys!" Ban everything, can't play the game as designed fucks.

Yeah my questions were badly worded, lemme try again:

Javes implied most people get sick of CoD games after initially really liking them. Is it a case of the more you play the more you see flaws that aren't noticeable at first, or is the DLC to extend the game's lifespan just not that great?

Does BO3 zombie mode share a similar progression system to other coop MP games like ME3 or DA:I? All I've found are vague articles.

I am very much enjoying this game. Only problems I'm noticing so far is some of the maps are very spawn dependent and loving everyone is using rifles because of high caliber.

After (not)playing AW multiplayer for whole 12 hours over the year I swore to myself I was never going to buy another CoD (I play on PC). The beta and this being a Treyarch game kinda hyped me up, considering buying this for 33€ but I don't like the look of this.

I would more look at it over the weekend, I think, since a lot of people probably didn't skip work for Another CoD Game.

I am still surprised how popular Ark is though

I didn't play in the beta even though I downloaded it. How relevant are the character special abilities? Also, what are they?
