Hmmmm this sounds promising, certainly more promising than AW. After Ghosts and AW I think the only sensible course of action is wait a few weeks after launch and judge peoples reactions.

Just preoder from Amazon so you can try the beta and if you don't like it just cancel your order.

I can get it for £39 from Tesco, they're usually top notch with pre orders. How quickly do you get the beta code?

From Amazon, almost instant.

I got the beta code but the COD site wont let me redeem it.

I've ordered from Tesco too mate so hopefully it will be fairly swift.

I can't create a password on the activision site - every single thing I type is apparently not acceptable as a password :confused:

Oh and just preorder from amazon and then cancel to get the code

Well this is a possible turn of events... It looks like the primary release platform for Blops3 is changing to the PS4 instead of the XboxOne... Sooo looks like the days of Playstation owners waiting a month after the DLC is released on Xbox are over and time for Xbox players to find out what its been like.

It's not much of a game changer anymore considering the rep COD has now, certainly wouldn't make me choose the PS4 over the Xbox (would have when Ghosts came out).

We've been hearing that for the past few years. The same rumour was around for Ghosts and AW. I doubt MS would let their exclusivity deal for COD go. I'd prefer it if everybody got the DLC at the same time instead of one group of players getting shafted. It's not like Activision need to money from the deal as COD is always the best selling game every year.

Soulja · 1 May 2015 at 10:43

I'm tempted to pick up Ghosts just to get back into the swing of playing cod before blops 3 is released.

~Yeah I have heard the same but at the end of the day the PS4 is trouncing the Xbone in sales and the sales of AW were dramatically higher on PS4 than all other consoles. So it would be expected for the Devs and Activision to go where the money is and at current that is with Sony.

Which platform? I might as well, considering I now hate AW.

Ps4. My eggbox hardly gets used at the minute but if blops 3 turns out to be good I might get it on both platforms.

Fire up your xbox360 and come back to black ops 2

Andybtsn · 1 May 2015 at 13:38

Any news on matchmaking? Skill or connection based?

I was actually thinking about this the other day but I can't find my black ops 3 disc.

Apparently it's using the old black ops 2 matchmaking.

I have heard, backed up by Drift0r and Tmartn That there is no Skill Based Match Making.

I keep thinking how bad ghosts was, I think I'll go back to Black Ops 2.

At all in any CoD game or in Black Ops 3?

biron_w · 1 May 2015 at 15:06

Surely using Blops 2 matchmaking means they'll be no dedicated servers? That's what is really missing. We need full dedicated server support.

I actually think AW is alright, but that's perhaps down to the fact I'm not bad at it. Fairly decent K/D ratio (for me).

I much prefer it to Ghosts which I regards as the worst online COD I have played.

Black op's 3 should be decent enough, looking forward to Star Wars Battlefront more
