Black OPS III beta anyone playing?

Yeah it'll probably get a reduction to the 200 mag, a massive increase to fire rate or a reduction to bullet damage. Last one seems least likely though because then it wouldn't be able compete with other specials. So probably gonna get a limit to how much usage you can get out of it. But yeah it's definitely more powerful than the others if used correctly and they definitely are aware of that and put him as a higher unlock. Reaper will probably end up as a much later unlock. Maybe even the last one. It's hard to say since we haven't seen the last specialist.

Wait, are you saying using that x-ray oracle ability pings you on the radar?

I'm pretty sure (outrider - vision pulse) I saw my mini map doing a sweep and when I went around the corner, there was a dude at the spot it came from. Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought I saw it. There's been times when I use it and I see the guy on the other side ready to shoot me
 
Soooooooooo yeah the beta was awesome. Loving the game. The beta alone makes me think this will be one of my favorite CODs. My favorites (post WW2 games since they play too differently) that I own are:

COD4
BLOPS
MW2
AW
MW3

I'll probably rank BLOPS3 just below COD4. Unless the full game has some real bullshit in it or if the other maps all completely suck ass

I think you're right. I've seen a really big ping on the radar before and the killcam showed him using it.

Of the maps in the beta they all have the similar layout with tons of cover to shoot from so the rest will probably play the same. I have a big problem with this because this intentionally promotes head glitching and camping with this very low time to kill. As is it's still a fun game but I feel this is mostly due to the past few cods being less than stellar and once that novelty wears off people could turn their backs on this game rather quick. The ability to run away from those fights with higher health instead of getting instamelted from a floating head is the only way I can see this game making it past the honeymoon phase.

I didn't notice people head glitching too much, my friend did mention it a couple times though. Idk there are some spots where I know people like to do it and I haven't had much trouble throwing a frag or picking them right away. I'm sure if the entire enemy team is doing it it could be annoying but I didn't notice it at least in the beta.

I think the maps are great. Idk they just feel right. I didn't get spawn fucked too often which seems to happen a lot with the more recent games and I always felt like I had a good idea of where the enemies were. Rarely did I have situations where I think "what the fuck where are they".

Also, it seems like drop-shotting is not as effective. Looks like the animation takes longer? Idk if that's true or not but I haven't gotten killed by a single drop-shotter yet
 
I've noticed in TD, not many high score streaks were played. I noticed as well a lot of people with double digit deaths, maybe 2 or 3 lobbies where one guy is under double digits. It could be that I suck but it just feels like people die quick and often.

It's heavily dependent on which mode your playing. TD seemed to have very few head glitchers and spawn killling. In safeguard it was every which way you look. I dropshot all the time when connections were good in kill confirmed. It's much faster then it was in blops 2.

Oh it's definitely not you. Some suggest that this lag comp is intentional to lessen the skill gap. Some pretty big youtubers have found an inexcusable amount of built in lag even while on lan on previous games. As a cod player since MW I find it infuriating when I shoot people first then die. Might as well have an option for me to put the gun in my mouth every time I encounter an enemy.

I'm anxious to see the final product and hope they tweak the lag comp and it's effects on time to kill so that actual skill plays a role in winning a gun fight. Otherwise I'm moving on to The Siege.

I know they won't change much because it keeps raking in the money, but I would enjoy a better match making system, don't put me in games with random people, put me in matches with people my same skill.

During the beta there was a lobby I was in the winning team was decided at the beginning because of one great player

Skill based match making sounds good in theory but it completely broke Advanced Warfare and made it very un-enjoyable. The ttk in this game would only exacerbate that problem. There was such an outcry over it there's little to no chance you'll see it in the full game.

Apparently it was discovered they rolled out skill based mm for a few hours during the beta and there was a huge uproar with people saying they won't buy the game. I understand them testing it out because that's the intention behind a beta but that should give you an idea on just how badly people despise it.

What did they hate about it, long queue times?
 
Fuck skill based matchmaking across all modes. I play COD to pub star lol. I think a "Ranked" playlist where it does that would be ok (team tactical type modes) but for the regular game modes I prefer random matchmaking. Hated that shit in AW is it so much to ask for noobs to be in my lobby so I can get ridiculous stats every game :)

Simply it's not fun to play with other Rambo's and it makes gameplay incredibly erratic when facing other clever players not to mention you're being matched first on score per minute or k/d versus connection which should always be priority one with fast twitch fps's. As Minnja was saying it has it's place in ranked play for those who want it.
 
I thought AW was a POS. I came expecting to hate BO3 even though I've preferred Treyarch to IW since W@W.

I started out hating it. Then a friend of mine said stop using silencers because of the nerf (which is a just one). Then I loved it. And I loved it right up until 1 AM last night.

I will buy the deluxe. The only question now is digital or disks.

Game was absolutely terrific.

Treyarch makes the best cod games. Infinity Ward went to shit after West, Zampella and most of the staff bailed.

I intended to only buy the Treyarch games, but I picked up AW because I wanted an fps for my ps4 bad. Not gonna do that shit again. I'll only buy Treyarch cod games from now on. Also zombies!
 
3arc campaign's and zombies will still make this a buy for me.
