Call of Duty: Black Ops 3

How do you choose to only play certain dlc maps?

[angel]

You can't unless theres a specific playlist, which there often is.

 

Had a quick bash last night, map "citadel", like something out of quake. Not bad but totally bored of the game now, along with the rest of the world judging how hard it was to get a game. Thats the problem with COD season passes, the game is dead by the time the 3rd one hits never mind the 4th.  It was a really well crafted map, graphically superb, but no one is going to see it.

You must be playing a different game to me, how is it dead? I always get a game, my friends list is still full of people playing it, any game mode gets a game within seconds, sometimes the lobby wont be completely full at the start but they always fill up.

[koefoed]

What is up with the servers? Was unplayable yesterday evening, couldn't get a single game without massive lag. All this lag ruins my K/D. 

[Nespresso]

This now only takes up 98,2 GB on my SSD.

[Nespresso]

After 380 hours of play time... I have now uninstalled it. 

 

Goodbye Black Ops 3, thanks for letting me trash talk and wreck people online. Godspeed. 

 

 

 

[angel]

It's all over for me too, great 6 months, a dicey couple of map packs, followed by total implosion via split player base, microtransaction hell, and crooked betting sites.

 

Goodbye BO3, I never did your campaign, I might one day. And I'm sure when that day comes, the 100 online players left will be running round dressed as ducks, alligators, and jake from adventure time.

[p1nseeker]

I'll still be playing this till the new one (and the new old one!) I didn't get any of the DLC but I'm still not bored of the maps (except fucking nuketown!).

 

Supply drops aside I've had a great time with it.

[gooner4life]

Same as that, I had to clear some space for VR stuff, hovered over BO3, thought fuck that and deleted Uncharted 4, this is a great game and my most played COD ever despite me owning them all and loving all of the MW's

[Baring]

I'm looking for this if anyone has a copy gathering dust? Got a few mates that still play and I wanna do the campaign. 

[gooner4life]

Had a few good games of this with my boy and @Bleeders yesterday, my boys a total beast at this, me and bleeders had never seen the mothership kill streak, so my boy says ok I'll add it to my streaks and get it for you, and he did, it just comes so easy to him.

[Bleeders]

Yeah, that was nuts. He was literally carrying the whole team throughout each match. Made it look effortless and me very old.

[Jamin]

I picked up a copy of this off ebay but I think the disc is fudged, it sometimes won't read the disc. When it does, and I get in, a pop-up says game data needs to install, which it appears to do so but the bar at the top which says downloading/installing game data never actually completes. This despite me trying 3 different days and leaving it on overnight each time. All the patch updates dl fine. Just the installing of the game inside the game never actually finishes and gets stuck at around 1/3. I can play offline Zombies, that's it. Do I have any other options aside from persuing for a refund?

[gooner4life]

that's weird, any marks on the disc? They are coated so shouldn't scratch mind you.

 

ive got it digitally otherwise I'd send you my disc to install off of

[Nespresso]

I still have hopes up for Black Ops 4. It'd be perfect, I just know it.

GAME will skim the disc for a couple of quid.

[Jamin]

Yeah I'll give it a go. Googled it last night & others in the same boat so it is a well known issue.

@Bleeders

 

Give me a shout when you're on. I play it a few times a week with a few boro lads. Awesome game, I'm just rubbish.

 

Just psn me and it will come on my phone. I might be on the wii.

DLC #5 - Zombies Chronicles is coming to Black Ops III -

 

Quote

Zombies Chronicles takes players through eight fully-remastered maps from previous Treyarch Call of Duty games: Call of Duty: World at War, Call of Duty: Black Ops and Call of Duty: Black Ops II, all in true HD with current-generation visuals, enhanced lighting, revamped character models and environments, and updated AI and audio systems. Players will also be able to use custom weapons, including current weaponry featured in Black Ops III that wasn’t featured in the original maps.

 

“Zombies Chronicles is really about the community that made Zombies what it has become today,” said Jason Blundell, Co-Studio Head, Treyarch. “Together, we’ve been slaying the undead for nearly ten years, across different game consoles, and Zombies Chronicles is really about bringing all of those fans together.”

 The eight maps featured in Zombies Chronicles represent some of Treyarch’s favorite moments from Zombies history, which also chronicle the origins of Treyarch’s Zombies storyline, leading to the events of Black Ops III. In fact, you can now read the entire narrative for Zombies Chronicles on the official timeline.

 

MAPS

 Experience some of the most thrilling maps in Zombies history in their full HD glory, including Shangri-La, a legendary shrine lost in an exotic jungle where the undead lurk within a treacherous labyrinth of underground caverns; Kino Der Toten, an abandoned cinema packed with swarms of Crawler Zombies and fiery traps; Shi No Numa, a swamp of death in a sweltering jungle; Origins, an abandoned German excavation site, and more!

 

Call of Duty: World at War

 Nacht der Untoten - Where it all began: an abandoned airfield suspended in space and plagued by infinite hordes of the undead.

Verruckt - Welcome to Wittenau Sanitorium, a German asylum with dark corridors, terrifying undead enemies, and even darker secrets.

Shi No Numa - A “swamp of death” located in Japanese territory, surrounded by a sweltering jungle, hellhounds, and endless armies of the undead.

 

Call of Duty: Black Ops

Kino der Untoten - An abandoned cinema packed with swarms of Crawler Zombies and fiery traps.

Ascension - An abandoned Soviet Cosmodrome where unholy creations lurk in the shadows, and dark undead experiments run loose.

Shangri-la - A legendary shrine lost in an exotic jungle where the undead emerge from within a treacherous labyrinth of underground caverns, deadly traps, and dark secrets.

Moon - Travel to the Moon where forgotten undead creatures plague a horrifying, cratered landscape

 

Call of Duty: Black Ops II

Origins - An excavation site left behind after the Germans unearthed the mysterious new "Element 115," and unleashed the greatest evil the world has ever seen.

 

8 DAYS OF THE UNDEAD

Beginning on launch day, May 16, Activision and Treyarch will kick off “8 Days of the Undead,” where players of Black Ops III on all platforms and players of Black Ops III Zombies Chronicles on PS4 can earn Double XP, engage in community challenges, and get free loot including Zombies calling cards, weapon camos, new GobbleGums, and PS4 themes.

 BONUS CONTENT

Call of Duty: Black Ops III Zombies Chronicles is available digitally on May 16 on PlayStation 4 for a suggested retail price of $29.99, and requires Call of Duty: Black Ops III to play. Along with the eight remastered maps and gameplay, players will also get:

 20 Vials of Liquid Divinium

2 All-New, Whimsical GobbleGums

Exclusive Zombies Pack-A-Punch Weapon Camo

Black Ops III Zombies Chronicles Dynamic System Theme for PlayStation 4, an exclusive pre-order incentive

 The lore and lure of Call of Duty Zombies was all started by an Easter egg back in Call of Duty: World at War nearly ten years ago, and now the mode has become a staple in the complete Call of Duty experience. We can’t wait to jump into Zombies Chronicles to play through it all over again, and we look forward to battling the undead alongside you.

Call of Duty: Black Ops III Zombies Chronicles is a content expansion for Call of Duty: Black Ops III which is sold separately and is required to play this downloadable content pack

I'm new to the Call of duty games but am I right in thinking Blop's 3 has a zombie campaign?

 

Is it worth buying just for the zombie campaign? 

 

How long is it and does it come with the standard version of the game?

 

Is zombie chronicles a separate dlc where you just survive as long as you can on each map?

 

Basically can I buy the Base game and play through the zombie campaign with a couple of friends online? That's all I want it for.

It doesn't have a typical campaign in the sense of going from point A to B and see the credits roll. It's more similar to a roguelike really. You try and survive for as long as possible while completing objectives (which the community refers to as "easter eggs") and unlock numerous weapons and items along the way. Once all four players die you lose all progress and start from scratch. 

 

BLOPS3's zombie mode was a lot of fun but unless you and your friends are willing to look up some guides, and actively work together, then your enjoyment may vary. The game doesn't explain anything and if you were to go in blind then there's not much too it, which in that case you might as well pick up any old wave based zombie shooter. But as I said I had an absolute blast with the zombies mode and found myself playing a ton of it. Once you reach the later parts of a map with hundreds of zombies coming at you, including boss-type enemies, while your teammates try and perform a ritual in order to move on to the next stage then you'll come to understand the adrenaline rush that is Zombies.

 

I believe BLOPS3 comes with one or two zombie maps (which doesn't sound like much but there's loads to do and explore) and the Zombies Chronicles DLC is a separate pack that features remade maps from past games which I've not played myself. Either way I reckon you'd be sorted if you have 3 other friends to play with.

[Max Damage]

Hmmm thanks. I thought the single player campaign could be played through with zombies instead and with a couple of people online too?

Great thanks, I'll order the Base game from Amazon then cheers.

[Nespresso]

Ah yeah forgot about that mode. It was a fun diversion, perhaps even better than the actual campaign itself. God that was terrible. 

[DC Lemon]

A new addition to a three-year-old game. The Prop Hunt hype is real. I’m going back to BLOPS3.
