I plan on making this mistake on Xbone, or 3DS if Activision gets their poo poo together.

I like that this video came out today, and Baja Blast(at least in my area) isn't on the shelves anymore. Unless you're abusing Taco Bell's free refills, which you should.

Is there a point to the clothes I'm finding with timers attached to them? Do they have temporary stat boosts or are they only cosmetic?

So I guess Sledgehammer tried knifing in Black Ops 2 and said "We need to make knifing in our game even worse."

As bad as knife lunge can be, it's really frustrating when there's none at all.

Is there anyone still using their Turtle Beach X11/12's with teh Xbone controller/adapter? If so, are you getting game sounds down your chat feed so you can't actually turn the game and chat volumes separately?

You should be able to turn down the game audio with the adapter. Just press the voice chat button until you hear it beep. Sadly it's a cross-fade between game and voice, not separate volumes for each.

I had the same with a lovely phone microphone/headset.


On the x11 there are different wheels to set game and voice chat though, on top of the voice chat button on the adapter, so it shouldn't make a difference

also: is there a way to edit emblems outside of in-game or phone apps?

But the adapter does both game and voice chat, in addition to having the headset plugged into an audio out from the tv.

More leaked information:

http://charlieintel.com/2015/04/24/first-black-ops-3-in-game-image-leaked/

- Co-op Campaign (Up to 4 Players)
- "Momentum-based chained-movement system" using "thrust jumps, slides, and mantling abilities"
- "Specialist character system"
- Zombies - New Narrative and XP Progression System

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.

When are we going to get our Master Chief Collection-style compilation where I can play all of the Modern Warfare/Blops MPs from last gen? That's all I want :sigh:

I'm still going to buy this though.

Very unlikely, they'd never sell another CoD again until the next console generation.

In the interview, they hinted at possible return of theater mode.

Didn't theater mode make the old blops games run like poo poo? I remember it being a thing to turn the recording off to make the game less laggy.

So how many more disappointing CoD games before you guys stop slamming your dicks in the silverware drawer yearly?

As disappointing as recent CoDs have gotten, the first 2-3 months of nightcrew games are normally worth the cost of entry.

I've got maybe 2-3 prestiges in me, before the chore of re-unlocking everything outweighs any number of class slots.

Titanfall 2 better be announced at E3, all I want is more content and the gameplay from TF1 intact. Playing that game with goons was great tho Wazzit and Papa Javes carried the poo poo out us.

Been replaying past CoDs recentely and Blops 1 is still pretty good, but the fact it has the Olympia and the Galil probably helps.

I loved gimmick classes with the Olympia and the crossbow, especially on Stadium

BrokenKnees, Beastwood, Wintrrmute, Closer, Hackan and Belt are some of the Goons I see on Destiny over on Xbone. Not sure if anyone is REALLY is having fun. I just can't stop grinding away at rep and waiting for Felwinters to drop in IB.

I'm having more fun with Destiny, since the grind got a lot easier. Needing one etheric light or exotic shard per item is a lot less lovely than each item needing 18+ ascendant/radiant shards/energies. I still need the etheric lights to start dropping for me but the RNG still needs some means of loving me over.

Did they put in a MP-44 at some point? That sticks out at me as more appealing than any of those maps.

So if BLOPS3 is as bad as this one will you guys finally give up on CoD?

I could see myself giving up the series, but I don't think anybody else has a game that could replace it in terms of shooting mans with goons. Destiny dropped off pretty quick, and Titanfall was good but didn't have variety to keep people playing.

The CoD series has been slipping as a whole, sales are down even with some number of people buying the new games twice as they upgrade consoles. Losing a lot of talent at Infinity Ward, and Sledgehammer's AW being bland as poo poo, has arguably put Treyarch in the position of the best of the franchise's developers. Add in that Blops3 is the first game to have the new 3yr dev cycle since they added Sledgehammer, and it's the best shot they've got to bring people's interest back. I think they ham-stringed themselves by continuing to put out last-gen versions of the game, but I recognize that next gen sales alone probably wouldn't be enough to make their money back.
