To me, I'd rather them just allow people to buy the weapons directly, or give them to season pass holders. People complained that CoD Points would make the game pay-to-play (which Call of Duty is nowhere near, for the record), but now the odds aren't good enough and people are somehow getting scammed (even though everyone is well aware of what their chances are when they buy Points). I don't understand it, people are just never satisfied.

@XPG Richtofen Would you mind changing the title to reflect that Activision no longer owns the trademark for Space Warfare? They gave it up in 2014 (I believe), as per the sources below. Perhaps add some more information to the article? I'm excited for this one! I, personally, don't think it will suck, and find it pretty dumb to just assume it will tbh. For those interested, here are the sources: GameSpot, Eurogamer, Shinobi

You weren't a fan? I personally enjoy them. (imo), Gauntlet is great, Splash is fun, Skyjacked is growing on me (but the boosting has made the map much different to play), and Rise is meh/forgettable. How do you see the four?

How long do you think it is until we get this next specialist? I'm eagerly anticipating it haha EDIT: Reading your ideas, I feel as though the "big boom" is sort of covered via the Gravity Spikes. That range is crazy! I see what you mean, however.

I'll be honest, that's all I ever did (though I have never played in lobbies, just solo). I'm not about playing for a long time to get nothing "tangible" out of it haha :p

Call of Duty is something we are all used to as a yearly installment, putting up huge numbers with each and every game. Black Ops III certainly followed this trend, becoming the sixth straight game in the series to break the $1 billion mark. Additionally, in North America, Call of Duty was 2015’s top-selling franchise - an award they’ve held for seven consecutive years now.[1] To add to the statistics, the life-to-date sales of Call of Duty surpassed 250 million units in 2015! (For comparison, the closest mainstream franchise is Grand Theft Auto at roughly 225 million, 95 million of which was just GTAV). Also to no one’s surprise, Call of Duty is poised to make a big impact yet again in 2016, so let’s dive in and see what they have in store! In early February, Treyarch released the first of four DLC map packs and I’d argue it was virtually everything the community asked for. In zombies, Der Eisendrache instantly became a new favorite for many. With three DLC packs to go, the community is eagerly anticipating what Blundell and his team has in store for us. Over the last few years, there have been a good deal of complaints regarding the zombies storyline, from the lackluster Black Ops 2 to the introduction of the multiverse in Origins. But with Black Ops 3, the potential certainly exists for Treyarch to turn it around. They’ve introduced many new elements into the story, but have started going back to their Black Ops 1 roots and coming full circle. Note that not all appreciate these new elements I mentioned, feeling it’s become too “otherworldly,” but only time will tell how the story progresses. In case zombies isn’t your thing, the world of multiplayer received four new maps (Splash, Skyjacked, Gauntlet, Rise) that were more-or-less well received by even the most critical gamers. Plus, competitive multiplayer grew substantially in Black Ops 3 thanks to the addition of Call of Duty World League (CWL). Presented by PlayStation and operated by Activision (who also owns Major League Gaming, remember), it’s a worldwide competitive league where the best of North America, Europe, and Australia/New Zealand battle for the title of World Champions. However, if you want to get in on the action with the pros, Activision also introduced the CWL Challenge Division. It’s targeted at “aspiring or amateur Call of Duty players” and allows them “to earn their way to the” Championship. The Championship this fall will mark the conclusion of the Call of Duty World League’s first season, and because of this, Activision will be holding a “major community event” aimed at “celebrating the community.” Perhaps we’ll be seeing the return of Call of Duty: Experience (CoD XP), after its successful debut in 2011? The description for this year’s event could be interpreted as pointing to that, where fans will gain “special insight and access to the world of Call of Duty.” In the 2011 rendition, attendees could paintball, zipline, and even run through the training course. (To us zombies fans, I’m sure we can look forward to another fantastic panel!!) But of course, the entire reason CoD XP 2011 took place was to launch Infinity Ward’s Modern Warfare 3, and late this year, they’ll again be launching their next Call of Duty title. Their most recent game in the franchise, Ghosts, was viewed negatively by a large portion of the community, so all eyes are on them to bounce back and deliver a title that the community can get excited about. What is so interesting about Infinity Ward’s fall from grace is that they’re heralded as making some of the greatest Call of Duty games in recent times (Modern Warfare and Modern Warfare 2), but went downhill after losing much of their staff to Respawn Entertainment. Many wonder whether they’ll try to push the envelope with the game, as the last few games have done, or if they’ll try to appeal to the old Call of Duty crowd. Whichever way they go, Activision has promised that the game will be both “ambitious” and “great." Source: Activision View full news

Any reason this is all white? Doesn't look very flattering.

Nuketown was first introduced in the original Black Ops and was an instant fan-favorite, “with its fast, frenetic engagements and classic run-and-gun gameplay,” as Activision put it. They reintroduced the map in Black Ops 2 as Nuketown 2025 (plus Nuketown Zombies), and then did the same again in Black Ops 3 as Nuk3town. Also in Black Ops 3 was the Nuk3town Personalization Pack, containing a weapon camo, three reticles, and a calling card (for those into that kind of thing)! Well, great news for those who love Nuketown! The map, as well as the Personalization Pack, is now available for free for all Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC users! Along with this, Treyarch has added a Nuk3town 24/7 Playlist to Black Ops 3 for the next week! So go grab the map, and we’ll see you online. View full news

Sony made a statement a few days ago that they're open to discuss this, so it's at least in motion!

Welcome to CoDz! If you ever have any questions, don't hesitate to ask, and I hope you enjoy your time here :)

Welcome to the site! As @Doppelgänger said, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask :)

Welcome to the site! If you have any questions, feel free to ask :)

As the title says. Currently, there's only the playlist in the Bonus section, but absolutely no part of me wants to play core. Does anyone else wish they added an Awakening playlist to hardcore, or at least significantly increased the frequency of the new maps?

Xbox One players, the game is out! Get some games in this weekend and get back in here to provide feedback!

Haha turtles aren't half bad :p Welcome to the site, hope you enjoy :)

I think it's because we haven't been exposed to the new stuff long enough. The atrocity that was Black Ops 2 is still in the back of our minds.

I've won in the last 3 months, so I'm not eligible :p

Definitely going to have to nominate @anonymous and @shirtlesservice for putting out great topics that is getting discussion going. You're the real MVPs!

Welcome to the site! If ya have any questions be sure to ask ;)

Haha welcome to the site! We're glad to have you, and if there are any questions be sure to ask! MOst active users can lead you to where ya wanna go :)

Notice that on the bottom right of whatever the computer monitor is sitting on, is a "Chemical Spill Treatment Kit." Seems kinda odd. Many of the things handwritten aren't legible (I've heard of many trying), which is a much wasted opportunity (as always).

Welcome to the site! Hope you enjoy your stay :)
