Call of Duty 2015/Black Ops 3?

Not overly impressed so far.

It feels a lot like AW/Titanfall rather than the tradional COD of a few years ago. Ive found the hit reg dodgy and peoples kill cams are certainly not how it played out on my end. Can't imagine this will be fixed.

Debating whether or not to cancel pre order now.
 
It's nice that one thing they have kept from the old cods, in that you still get shot around corners :D

Or not shot at all as in the case of one guy I was trying to kill last night. He was prone and I emptied the best part of a full clip into him on Combine from relatively close range and hit nothing even though my crosshair was on him :eek:

I was in such a state of disbelief I forgot to duck back into cover and he killed me :D

After playing more games last night/this morning, I feel the same. I'll still play the beta but I certainly wont be getting is game at launch.

Pre order cancelled.
 
Pretty ****** if you have to get to level 38 to counter the UAV spam with ghost. Pretty sure the equivalent perk was available almost immediately on AW (I think it was called low profile or something).

I also cannot see how running 6th sense is helping me. It does not seem to make any difference to my game at all, so I must be doing something wrong. The red blobs on my minimap are there whether I use it or not and using it does not seem to give me any more info than the standard map.

Also, I was playing as Outrider and unlocked both her abilities and equipped her vision pulse, yet in the game it kept giving me a Sparrow when my charge bar was full. I can't seem to figure out how to use her vision pulse ability.........
 
It feels too arcadey to me. I don't like the wall running or super jumping.

I'll get star wars battlefront instead.

There is a rainbow six game in the works as well as tom clancy they could be ones to look out for. 1 of them also has a beta.
 
Downfalls of beta's eh? You would have given them your money now you're not :D

Not so much, speaking for myself I only pre-ordered to play the beta. Had there not been a beta I wouldn't have pre-ordered. I suspect that this is true for many other people too. We may see figures for x number of pre-orders cancelled after the beta but it wouldn't be true indication of actual lost sales.

From memory, wasn't Ghost in Blops2 a pretty high perk. As I'm sure I remember it being the first unlock on prestiging.

I never played BLOPs 2, but in AW the equivalent perk was available at level one, and rightly so considering the cheap cost of UAV's and the advantage they give (IMO), particularly in stacked teams.

Ghost was the very last thing you unlocked in BO2. And it looks like it unlocks very late in this game too :mad: I've argued for YEARS that the UAV needs to be a much higher tier streak as the cost/usefulness ratio make it the best streak in the game. I just hope you can take something with you when you prestige.
 
It's so easy and quick to take down uavs in this game with rocket launcher, I am loving all the extra points from taking them down :)
 
Just registered an account on BO3 website and got my beta code and it gave me 3, I redeemed one, I take it the friends codes are for other people to redeem and play?
 
I hear theres a new map and uplink coming today and the level cap made higher. Any news on if stats transfer? I think this is a massive improvement over AW but i feel slightly bored already, having played COD since COD 4 and sunk full months of game time in most instalments up to BO2 I think i may just be burnt out with it. Maybe when theres more maps and actually ranking up means something and Arena mode it will give me more enjoyment.

Yup.

Played for a few more hours last night. I started in TDM but then tried domination out. Domination isn't great due to the small maps but it was still fun. I don't know what was going on though as my games were all over. I guess lag but the ping bars were all 3 or 4 bars in game. One game I finished with ~10 kills and a 0.5kd then the next I finished top with 30+ kills and a 3.x kd. My whole evening was alternating between games like that; of feeling like the noobiest noob to feeling like an epic slayer.

Edit: Quinnaay - I think stats and unlocks carry over in to this second phase of the beta (or whatever you want to call it) but they beta stats wont carry over in to the full release.
 
I find I do good most games but have the odd bad one which is many due to my team being crap. I've got my overall kd above 2.3 which isn't too bad I suppose. I only play kill confirmed now as it's easy to rack up the points.
