www.callofduty.com/blackops3/betaXONE and PC still TBA. I expect it to happen sometime before Destiny's expansion is released on 09/15, because it is not in ActiVision's interest to see two of its top games competing with each other for player attention. Note that pre-order guarantees beta access, and amazon preorder won't charge you unless you keep your order until launch day.

It makes sense; everyone loves the Juggernog machine. Plus the CoD eSports scene is chock full of energy drinks that are probably filled with questionable drugs, hormones, liquid ass, and an ambiguous citrus flavour that's doing its best to cover the taste of the other three. A mini fridge makes sense for any man cave.
I mean there are worse things; like Dead Island's disemboweled torso statue. As long as it isn't as evil as Amiibos for CoD I'm fine with it.

That did it; the game won't have any maps. Call of Duty has been cancelled due to stormy weather. We can all go home now.

In my chrome browser the embedded tweet works perfectly, I can watch the VID with no problem. If you can't, go to Twitter directly: twitter.com/CallofDuty/status/631599370043953152

Official tutorial video on combat movement system from Treyarch: A while ago I started a light discussion thread on BLOPS3's movement system in the Titanfall subforum: denkirson.proboards.com/thread/7862/tf-bros-blop3s-movement-system . Now we are only 1 week away from beta, I would like to see what CoD bros think of it. Short of experiencing it myself, my initial impressions are pretty positive: 1) movement looks fluid, unlike the jittery feeling of AW; 2) movement chaining looks cool, and control not hard to adapt; 3) weapons are usable at all times. This is at least intriguing to me; 4) combine 2) and 3) can result in some really powerful combos. This is probably controversial but personally I like it; 5) while not must have (you can play the game without using any power moves and still slay very well, maybe even preferred), the movements can be quite useful in objective game modes like CTF and UpLink; Bros, what do you think?

This looks really cool. I also like that they posted a tutorial of it, unlike SHG which relied on you playing the campaign (or you had to learn how to do it from YouTubers).

I'm just going to reiterate that I hate the power slide. I'm starting to get worried that they're going to put a slide move into Titanfall 2. FPS devs.... please... just start saying no to the power slide.

FPS devs.... please... just start saying no to the power slide. Not a big fan of the slide but unfortunately it is now everywhere: cod, Destiny, and even Halo. It is going to burn into my muscle memory just like sprint (every time I go back to old Halo it took time for me to get used to the sprint less environment)

Well knee sliding has been around since at least Mega Man 3, and I know Vanquish has powersliding to the extreme, you could pretty much slide through the entire level.

Treyarch tweeted another video, this time introducing 2 specialists: Ruin and Outrigger (twitter.com/charlieINTEL/status/632689609890246656) Ruin looks practical,while Outrigger looks fun to play. Info about all known specialists: codnextgen.com/specialists/BTW, in the video above, you can see this picture at 0:16 mark. Looks like in BLOPS3 we can see player count again:
