Domination is round-based again, but its no longer timed. The round ends after a team earns 100 points.

David Vonderhaar has been dropping some tidbits about this game on his twitter. He is emphasizing that the multiplayer is in Pre-Pre-Alpha, so these things are subject to change (especially the perks).

-Ghost will again only hide you from UAVs while you are moving.
-A Scorestreak like the VSAT is returning. He emphasized the like part, so its probably another version of the Advanced UAV from MW3.
-Wall-running is on set lines and you cannot change your elevation.
-Scorestreaks cannot be assigned by class. He says it encourages risk/reward.
-Melee attacks are a 2 hit kill unless you equip the Knife.
-There will be fall damage
-Flak Jacket is back and it currently works like it did in BLOPS 2.
-No toughness
-Scavenger is back (no details beyond that)
-C4 cannot be detonated until they land.

Are we going to play BLOPS 2 again or is everyone just taking a break until BLOPS 3 comes out?

Good BLOPS 2 games last night. I am worried that my 360 is dying, though. It seems like my connection got worse the more I played. I know hosts can be bad, but I'm pretty sure getting random one bars during games is not normal.

I never had a host migration act like I left the game and rejoined before, either. That probation I got afterwards was nice, too.

Looks like Dew & Doritos is returning for BLOPS 3, but it might be a PS4 exclusive this time. http://charlieintel.com/2015/05/30/rumor-mountain-dew-game-fuel-promotion-to-return-for-call-of-duty-black-ops-3/

Take it with a grain of salt (it is VG247, after all), but the DLC for BLOPS 3 may be coming to the PS4 first this time. http://www.vg247.com/2015/06/04/call-of-duty-black-ops-3-may-end-xbox-exclusivity-deal/

The BLOPS games, COD4 and MW2 are in the top ten so I think there's a good chance we can (eventually) play them on Xbone. Why would Activision turn down a chance to make more money?

That actually looks pretty good. The movement system looks a lot smoother and easier to control then AW's.

More info about this game from E3.

Are you guys ready for more leveling? The Specialists characters will have their own leveling for cosmetic items. http://charlieintel.com/2015/06/17/specialists-characters-will-have-level-progression-ranking-up-unlocks-customization-items/
Weapon leveling returns as well if you liked that.

Weapons built in Gunsmith can be shared with friends. Exactly how this works is unknown at this time, though. http://charlieintel.com/2015/06/17/call-of-duty-black-ops-3s-gunsmith-will-feature-social-sharing-abilities/

There are underwater areas, and you can shoot your gun underwater as well. I'm not sure how practical this will be in the long run. I guess you could get some amusing kills sneaking up on people. http://charlieintel.com/2015/06/16/black-ops-3-introduces-underwater-combat-with-swimming-ability/

Here's a video of the "Mothership" Scorestreak. It costs 1500 points and its the most expensive streak in the game. It looks like a giant chopper gunner. There are two turrets for other players to control as well.

There's no MW3 Specialist here. Specialists are unique characters with special abilities (think Destiny's super moves).

The gameplay videos I've watched of this look very similar to BLOPS 2, so I would be very surprised if challenges reset when you Prestige.

Are most goons getting this on Xbone? The PS4 playerbase died pretty fast with AW so I'm not sure if I should bother getting it on there again, even if that platform is getting the DLC first.

I mean goonwise. VVVV

In AW's case, they didn't fix it at all. I tried playing it again last week and it still sucks.

Most of the clips in that video aren't even new, so I just kinda skimmed through it. Some observations.

- The Weevil is the COD4 P90. The P90 in the MW2 and MW3 fired a bit faster.
-The Kuda is the BLOPS 1 MP5K
-The Shevia looks pretty awesome, but it looks like Treyarch finally implemented a trigger cap that actually works, so no full auto without the attachment. That doesn't look like it will be a problem because it kills in 1 to 2 shots.
-The ARK 7's fire rate and recoil pattern is identical to the BLOPS 1 AK47. This will probably be my most used weapon because that gun was great.

Kill Confirm has been a game mode in COD since MW3.

Nope. Everything was either two or even three hits to kill. Or one body, one head.

Only snipers had that privilege.

Don't know about WaW or pre CoD 4 though.

WaW's sniper rifles worked like COD4's. Like BLOPS 2, some of the snipers had iron sights as well.

Umm, bo1 prestige edition came with a camera rc car, bo2 care package edition came with a quad copter, and those didn't include season passes. Only hardened editions came with season pass, I think aw or ghosts came with a camera that you could strap to your head but that one was dumb.

MW2 had the best Prestige Edition. Fully functional Night Vision goggles, and a plastic head to display them on.

Why can't this be a full game? Bioshock meets COD seems like a pretty cool idea.

Man, remember when that Raven dev used to post here back when Ghosts was relevant? It was cool to get a developer perspective on the game that wasn't filtered through the PR machine. I guess we scared him off? :shrug: Anyway, I preordered this game for both consoles for a whole 10 days of beta access. #ShameThePoors (I'll cancel the order when I get the beta code).

Last I heard Raven got stuck with COD Online.

As long as stealth perks don't work against it at all, I'm perfectly fine with letting it be shot down.

(They'll let every perk work against it, I'm sure. gently caress MW3 forever)

Ghost works exactly like it did in BLOPS 2 so you're in luck.

Jeez, they really want people to use Hard Wired. Now it does everything it used to do plus immunity to Smoke Screen (I assume they mean immunity to its new radar effect, not like... making the smoke invisible), complete protection from setting off proximity-detonated stuff, and resistance to two other perks.

Well Hard Wired was basically useless in BLOPS 2 so its nice it does something for once.
