Call of Duty Black Ops III - Gamers Guide
Call of Duty Black Ops III
Call of Duty: Black Ops III is a 2015 first-person shooter
game developed by Treyarch and published by Activision. It is the twelfth entry
in the Call of Duty series and the sequel to the 2012 video game Call of Duty:
Black Ops II. It was released on Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One
on November 6, 2015. A feature-limited version developed by Beenox and
Mercenary Technology that only supports multiplayer modes was released on
PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 and was also the final Call of Duty title released
on those platforms.
Black Ops III takes place in 2065, 40 years after the events
of Black Ops II, in a world facing upheaval from climate change and new
technologies. Similar to its predecessors, the story follows a group of black
ops soldiers. The game's campaign is designed to support 4-player cooperative
gameplay, allowing for bigger, more open level design and less corridor
shooting. As the player character is cybernetically enhanced, players have
access to various special activities. The game also features a standalone
Zombies campaign mode and a "Nightmares" mode which replaces all
enemies as zombies.
Announced on April 26, 2015, the game is the first Call of Duty video game released after Activision parted with Microsoft Studios and
partnered with Sony Computer Entertainment, which secured the timed exclusivity
of the game's downloadable content. Upon release, the game received generally
positive reviews from critics, praising the gameplay, Zombie’s mode, and amount
of content. However, it was also criticized for its story and lack of
innovation. The seventh-generation console versions in particular were singled out for their lack of a campaign and numerous features, as well as them
being online-only. It was a commercial success, with it becoming the
top-selling retail game in the US in 2015, and one of the most successful
titles released for the eighth generation of video game consoles.
