Doppelgänger

One huge gamemode that I'm sure we all love playing is Capture the Flag. Personally, it is one of my most favoured gamemodes of all time, especially when it requires teamwork to achieve victory. Others may have their own personal favourites, but for this thread I will highlight the problems with Black Ops 3 and its gamemodes. Lately, I've been getting bored of playing Team Deathmatch and Domination, even on Hardcore difficulty, and wanted to try something new. I decided to try and quench the closeted completionist in me and attempt to complete the challenges given in Black Ops 3 that require victories in a certain gamemode, such as Capture the Flag. Unfortunately, I ran into very big problem that hinders myself and those that may want to play these modes. That problem comes with the severe lack of players in those gamemodes. After going through the list I found that 63% of players were playing Core, 21% were playing Hardcore and the remaining 16% were in the Bonus playlist. Bear in mind I'm not sure if these statistics are for the entire world or just the Oceanic region. Of the 63% that were in Core: Team Deathmatch - 58% Free-For-All - 1% Domination - 15% Demolition - 1% Kill Confirmed - 4% Hardpoint - 3% Capture The Flag - 0% Search & Destroy - 12% Uplink - 1% Safeguard - 5% These statistics worry me, especially considering those that have extremely low player counts are those that I love. hell, Capture The Flag has no people playing it. At all. Keep in mind these fluctuate. Also, they are from Xbox One, not PS4. If someone would be as kind as to possibly share the statistics from PS4, that would be great. Maybe exclusivity is playing a role in this. There can be a means to remedy this situation and get players into these gamemodes to enjoy them and complete any missing challenges, and this comes in the form of gamemode-specific Double XP. I think it would be a great addition to have a, "Gamemode of the Week" feature where every weekend (or every other weekend) a gamemode is put into the spotlight, offering Double XP to those that join and play them. This may be a little selfish considering my love for Capture the Flag, Demolition, Kill Confirmed as well as other, so I wanted to ask if other people felt the same about this. Let me know what you think about this idea.

Hey man, welcome to the forum. You seem eager to find people to play with! Lucky for you we have a thread dedicated for just that. Check out http://www.callofdutyzombies.com/groupfinder/. That will help you find teammates. Enjoy your time here.

This is why I love the map. The atmosphere is amazing in this map, because there aren't distractions that pull you away from the game. Take Mob of the Dead for example. More blood does not make a creepy/eerie map. It makes it cheesy and look overdone. This is definitely my favourite map from Black Ops 3, and most almost my favourite of all time, coming just behind Ascension.

I wished there was a more emphasis on ancient temples. That is probably my only problem with the map.

Plants Vs. Zombies won the Golden Joystick Award for Strategy Game of the Year in 2010. This new installation in the series is amazing! Don't knock it.

The second DLC package, titled 'Eclipse' is now available for download on Xbox One and PC. 4 new multiplayer maps and 1 Zombies map are included. Also, the 20 of May signals the start of a Double Weapon XP weekend. Get those higher level attachments and weapon Prestige easier over the next 4 days.

Update: Added clearer images

That is something that should be noted. I was leaning towards Maxis writing this a bit, myself. However I also thought that this could be a Richtofen from a universe where he is far more knowledgeable than our current Richtofen, but there isn't any real evidence to prove that. The theory that it could be Dr. Monty is extremely far fetched. Edward doesn't know who he is and neither does Maxis. "Does Maxis even know who crafted these machines?" Also, there isn't much to prove that Maxis wrote it, especially considering we see a note from this, 'M' character in Shadows of Evil. Like I said, until we solve the unfinished ciphers, or receive more intel in the coming maps, there isn't any way to prove who gave Edward this information.

Given the location you've provided in your bio, the Map Pack will release at about 5:00 PM on Thursday for you.

Yes, I assume so. At least that is what it says. Whoever told Richtofen this clearly knows who M is. Whoever wrote this letter hasn't been revealed yet, though some people have speculated that Dr. Monty wrote this. I suppose we will have to wait for DLC 3, or any of the unsolved ciphers in previous Black Ops 3 maps, to get more information to this.

That question is somewhat answered with this cipher from Zetsubou No Shima: "Edward as you know it it imperative you and the group find the exact versions of yourselves that I have highlighted in each universe. Only by killing that version of yourself, in that particular universe, at that particular moment in time, will we be successful once each of your other selves are killed across all universes. Remember, we are only immune because we opened the portal in France. But I am afraid this might not be permanent. I fear there is something M isn't telling me and that there is not much time left for us."

To stop the events of Moon and all the events that transpired because of what the Richtofen from our Original Crew did. Because those events eventually end up with either Maxis cursing Richtofen to an eternity of being a zombie or Richtofen erasing Maxis from existence. Both of them in the Origins universe are working to stop those events from occurring, because either way they both end up in a terribly ruined world. Listen to Richtofen's quotes from The Giant: "Mission accomplished. Temporal disruption achieved. The future is changed." Clearly Richtofen hasn't yet lost his mind and, according to quotes from Origins, both he and Maxis are on good terms. "Something is wrong, I can no longer touch.. no longer feel! What have you done Richtofen?" "Here, I am here my friend! I was able to preserve your mind before you succumbed to the sickness." and "Ah, at last, the darkness is at an end! I live again! I knew my friend would not fail me." I really doubt that there is another reason to why he killed him.

This weeks Party Double XP that accompanied the launch of Groups in Black Ops 3 has run its course, however that isn't the end for us. Another weekend of both Multiplayer and Zombies Double XP is upon us and has just gone live. Get grinding everyone!
