Yep, it's that time where people start talking about leaks and we all say we aren't going to buy it before going off to GAME and ordering the Hardened Pro Super Dooper Turbo Edition for £299 before being disappointed come the day after release.

But still, I'm hyped.

First of all we've got the Gamestop leaks:

Then we've got an NBA Player sporting a strange cap with what is supposedly the logo for the game

We've also just had an update for Black Ops 3 with a new snowy version of Redwood and a new camo and some new guns, easter eggs hidden in the map?

The Gamestop images also mention something about World at War promotional items, remaster incoming too?

Oh and IIII is a valid form of showing the number 4 in roman numerals. :p ;)

All aboard the hype train.

Feels like a very early announcement compared to usual

Indeed, whether it could just be a teaser in a long compilation video who knows, but there's also the fact that WWII is forgotten and everyone is Fortnite crazy at the minute, getting that mind share and hype out there to get people back to Black Ops 3 is massive.
 
I enjoy War Mode in WW2 but with only three maps (I haven't played the new one) it got very boring just doing the same thing over and over and over again.
 
What other reason is there for it releasing a month earlier than it normally does? :confused: The general consensus that I've seen is that they're scared RDR2 will hurt sales.

Because the my want WW2 gone? And they want people hyped in the series again because nobody gives a **** about CoD and everyone is playing fortnite, what better way to get people playing BO3 again and hype going for BO4 by saying it’s coming a month early, the thirst is real.

It’s just as conspiracy theorist as they are scared of RDR2 to be honest but I can’t see Activision being scared of Red Dead, I mean they’re different games.
 
Man all these rumours flying around, and the state of the current MP mode makes me really really worried about this game.

They also cannot even get decent netcode going on 6v6 games, let alone 1vs X amount, rumours are that it's also not 100 players yet, but that's the aim.
 
Can't help feeling that cod is in its last days, singing its swan song.

Infinite warfare and WW2 down to 12mil sales a piece compared to blops3 at 26mil sales. AW at 21mil and ghosts at 28mil. Indeed the last 2 iterations of cod have been the poorest performing in terms of sales in over 10 years........

Doubtful, but this could be a large blow going forward for the series, Treyarch are the dev team of choice these days, if they **** up? Don’t see much hope

Don’t forget I don’t think we get digital sales numbers for title so there’s a lot of those to account for if you base it on the rumoured digital/physical sales splits.

Clearly the specialists from Black Ops 3.

My theory is this game takes place before Black Ops 3 and the MP simulation and is our specialists before they all died.

Hype is through the roof.
