NFT: Black Ops 3 beta

giantsfan44ab : 8/27/2015 1:00 pm
I realize at this point that CoD has lost the interest of many at this point. It's been going downhill since the first MW. However, since MW1, I found that BO2 was the best game. I've been playing it on and off for 3 years. My roommate gets the game evey year and all the ones since BO2 have been utter shit, so I didn't have many expectations for this beta.

That said, this beta has the best mechanics and graphics of any CoD to date. Only played 4-5 matches but those are my impressions thus far. Not a big fan of the jet pack, but it's significantly improved from AW. You can't jet pack across an entire map in 5 seconds and complete fuck up the spawns, nor can you abuse the hell out of it to get away from trouble. Don't like the specialist abilities much either, I think they ripped blatantly off of Destiny, but I can certainly live with it.

Anyone else play it?
Going to try it this weekend...

I generally like what Treyarch does so I've been looking forward to the game(as much as you can for a yearly game).

I don't mind AW...at least compared to Ghost. I could find very little to like about that game.
Maybe it's because my age

but other than sports game I dont like playing other games with people. Multi player isnt my thing. I'm a single player campaign guy.
I'm done with CoD  
UConn4523 : 8/27/2015 1:20 pm : link
the Gears remaster is more intriguing and will be getting Halo 5 and Battlefront. CoD will need to do big things to get my money again.

Yeah Ghost is by far the worst in the series (although I admittedly haven't played the 1st BO so not sure how good/bad that one was). I'd say this is significantly better than AW. You can just tell its a Treyarch game by playing 1 match. The maps so far are alright. There is one that I like particularly, don't remember the name, but it's the one with the waterfall. Don't care much for the other maps. I hope they have better ones in store for the release.
The original Black Ops was the first multiplayer...

I really got in to. I still play it now and again.

And on a side note...  
okiegiant : 8/27/2015 1:49 pm : link
I'm old and still enjoy the CoD series.

I never enjoyed HALO much and I tried to get in to Destiny but I just couldn't.

I do play a little Battlefield but I prefer the smaller maps.

I am looking forward to Battlefront.
Downloaded it for PC

last night but haven't fired it up yet. I will give it a try and let you know how it is.

I really enjoyed Black Ops and BO2. Very fast moving games which are more my pace. Can't stand plodding shooters where running feels like you actually stuck in mud.

Also it looks like they are rolling with 100% Ranked Dedicated Servers. That peer to peer garbage needs to die. I get that Xbox and Playstation casual gamers don't know the difference but those who understand it know how much nicer it really is.

It seems there is a possibility the next CoD title( it will be an Infinity Ward game)will be set in WW2.
Also hate the technology in CoD

I have no desire to use holograms, walk on walls, etc. I want to go back to WWI/2.

As for Halo, the future their turns me off so I've never got into killing aliens, but their multiplayer is great.

Halo 3, MW1, and BO2 are competing for the #1 online FPS in my book. BD2 is close behind. I don't anything will replicate how fun Halo 3 and MW1 was when they first came out. Don't know if it was me being easy to please as a middle schooler or nothing has come close to how revolutionary those games were when they came out. I think Halo 3 has the slight edge IMO.
Gears 1 is my all time favorite  
UConn4523 : 8/27/2015 3:55 pm : link
I forget which CoD it's named but the last one that was WW2 focused was my favorite of the series. Halo 3 was very good.

A Treyarch title. It was a great game although I only played a little of the multiplayer.
Shep, I enjoyed that!

Destiny: The Taken King  
LawrenceTaylor56 : 8/27/2015 4:45 pm : link
and Battlefront coming out. Kind of tired of Call Of Dutys. Hated the last 2 games (Advanced Warfare and Ghosts)
Actually, the first MW was my favorite. Amazing maps.  
UConn4523 : 8/27/2015 4:47 pm : link
Pipeline Bloc and Overgrown were probably my 3 favorite maps ever.
I just read that SOCOM came out 13 years aho today.  
Shepherdsam : 8/27/2015 5:47 pm : link

That game was so damn great.

I'd be crawling into bed at 7am with the giggles. Wife thought I was nuts.
