Black Hat nerf is retarded. Just bring back the BO2 version, this version makes even hacking equipment a liability. I'd rather destroy a scorestreak and not have a red dot and VO telling the enemy "Here I am" than get the scorestreak and make me a vulnerable target staring at the sky. There's pretty much little to no reason to ever use it. Everything else sounds good though. I like the Black Hat change. As I mentioned earlier, the new design will produce a mini game of "VIP" within the game as soon as the hacking is initiated, which enriches the game play experience. Sure, if you are a lone wolf player this probably sucks, but with friends playing together this can be awesome. I still remembered one game I played during beta that my team got pwned very hard until I hacked the enemy's R.A.S.P, which turned the game around very quickly. It should not have happened that easily, prompting me to complain about Black Hat. With this new change, such turn around can still happen but require much much more effort. Good balance in my book.

Sure, if you are a lone wolf player this probably sucks Exactly why it's terrible. The game already caters heavily to parties, and has for practically every game. Shit like this makes me not want to buy the game because now I'm pretty much limited to playing when friends are on.

Taking place in California: it is a well balanced map that caters to all play styles and even has an underwater path for players to access. 3) Theatre mode is returning!Promised to be bigger, better, and more usable than Black Ops 2’s. 4) Ability to add bots in multiplayer offlinesimilar to Black Ops 2, players will be able to set up bots in private matches to practice and play against. 5) 4 player split-screen offline, 2 player split-screen online6) Player customization will offer players to pick taunts and gestures for specialists. (basically, fancier teabags)Interpretation: "really interesting" = micro transactions 7) MP Touch Football game modesLimited selection of modes available to play in Touch Football, including Ground War, and they will adjust the playlist as they get feedback from fans 8) As a separate announcement, PC specific improvements based on beta feedback

Forgot to mention: during last Friday's reveal, 3arc strongly hinted that maps from past games will be brought back.
Example: Raid in BLOPS2! Easily one of my most favorite CoD maps of all time.

I don't think you can play it. That's an actual ride at Six Flags.

Your guy taunts like a character from Supa Smash a Bro Brawl if you pressed Space or X on PC during the win screen if you were #1 but no one ever did it.

Interested in seeing what these might look like? Well, I don't have any footage of BLOP3 versions, but Destiny is doing something similar: Preview of emotes that are coming in tomorrow, from YouTubers who got a preview package from Bungie (each appears to have a different set. I went ahead and put the starting marker on when the emotes are shown so you don't have to watch the other crap if you don't want to): Man, I can see players burning so much cash on these... Datto: Planet Destiny: MoreConsole: Byf: BTW, Halo 5 is doing this as well. It is the equivalent of "Fall Fashion" in video games.

The Battlefront beta also had them. I miss the UT taunts.

Recap: 1) Loyalty program to reward players who played a lot of Ghosts/AW/BLOPS2 (deadline: 11/05 @9pm PT); 2) New game mode "Free Run", solo experience consisted of movement puzzles and challenges! Progressively difficult courses to test your skills of 4 different levels: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced and Expert. This is right in my alley of interest. Just this game mode alone is making me to reconsider when to pick up the game. Now I am leaning towards launch week purchase even pre-order; 3) 11 core game modes, custom games with more customization options. No "classic" game modes, Everything unlocked in Arena;4) Skill is NOT a primary consideration in core matchmaking. It is mainly used when lobby is formed to divide players into more evenly matched teams; 5) There are NOT branching storylines in Black Ops 3, but there are "a lot in the narrative"; Replay can be watched at:

BO1 and W@W were some of my favorite maps. BO2 had poor on disc maps imo. 3-4 good/okay ones, the rest were terrible. DLC maps were way better, probably half of them were good. And about a third of those were remakes so...

World at War maps were great. Large, but open. Sniping was awesome.

Stop! You guys are making me wonder whether I should get Season Pass again Every time I did that I regretted my decision. Trying hard to not do that this time, especially with PS4 getting everything 1 month ahead now instead of XBL. The main thing that still gets me thinking is that CoD has now adopting the annoying practice of "rewarding" Season Pass holders with stuff earlier than the rest of the world, like an OP weapon.
