Rumour: Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 to get 2 years worth of DLC
- Thread starter AHA-Lambda
- Start date
Have been since MW3 at the very least.
They've been better definitely since Black Ops, and better personally since WAW. MW2 just didn't do anything for me.

Awesome news if true.
Just means a higher chance at more WaW/BO1/BO2 remade maps!
Give me that Castle!!!

Would be kind of hilarious.
I mean hell, if Treyarch can get this much in 3 years, I would love to see them do 4 years. Though I'd imagine 4 years is probably the max. Anything past that might lead to too much bloat.

This would be awesome if true, Treyarch puts out the best entries imo. My order shipped today, I'm excited to play it!

Well they already released DLC for 'old' games when the next COD was out but it was like skins and camos. Still DLC though.

The dumbest fucking cliffhanger ever. They should just forget that it ever happened.
Hmm I am sure that will mean the campaign will be a massive upgrade but tbh most of the interest/concern is about the MP which in Ghosts was one of the worst in the series with some truly terrible maps.
Really awesome.
I do hope they add a few new weapons like they've done a few times for AW, Ghosts, and Black Ops II. Game could use some more sidearms.
Honestly. It was so bad It made my face screw up for 5 days, after which I bought Black Ops II and became a Treyarch acolyte.

They 100% can, and just not even acknowledge it. Ghosts did a substantial amount of damage to the CoD brand, Ghosts 2 would be a joke.

Honestly, this is what the series needs. IW and SHG just can't keep up with Treyarch, they're just not in the same league (especially the PC version). I would much rather give Treyarch money for DLC for the next 2 years than have to buy new games from inferior developers.

That sucks. Hope they don't drop Ghosts. I actually really liked the Campaign of it. I really want to find out what happens next.

have they ever released approximate numbers of how many people actually buy map packs?
i usually don't because i feel like they are overpriced and am fine playing the base game on and off for a year (its more like 6 months as attention span starts to wane).

Fuck yeah. I don't plan to buy next years cod anyway.

Now? lol
It would be very smart of Activision and Treyarch to do this but I honestly think it would affect the sales/reception of the next IW game if it happens. The opinion of Ghosts is already very low so if they come out and announce Ghosts 2, how many people are really going to want to jump on that after the previous game? Unless the gameplay is amazing but I don't have confidence in anyone but Treyarch at this point so I wouldn't expect that.
I feel like the only thing that would save the next game is if it's a remaster of the Modern Warfare games. A lot of people still want to play MW and MW2, especially the former. If they update it for this gen and do it right, it could draw a lot of people in. It would also offer something pretty different in comparison to BO3, so you could switch from game to game depending on your mood or what you like.

Treyarch's DLC has never let me down, so I can't complain.

For over a decade now, yeah.
Lets not be silly. Since the release of Blops1 which was after the gutting of IW.

I wonder if this means we'll get the inevitable CoD4 remaster next year, as I can't see them cannibalizing a new games content season with this.
I think Treyarch would also need to release a "Taken King"-like expansion to keep it fresh, as only getting new maps for the same base game might not be sustainable, not really sure how BF goes about it.

I always preferred Treyarch's games back when I cared about this franchise, before BO1 was a thing.

Yeah, I was thinking that too, funny to see the praises bestowed upon Infinity Ward now given to the once considered 'B-Team' Treyarch. Weird looking back at the narrative created during the Modern Warfare years, was an exciting time.
You mean since WAW. And let's not forget Big Red one on Xbox/PS2 which was also decent. COD3 was meh compared to COD2, but...it wasn't all bad.
World at War was very good.
It's definitely funny but I was hoping this would happen since WaW. I loved that game, now it seems like IW is the C-team and Sledgehammer is above them.

I can potentially see this happening. Ghosts sucked so much that it's hard to believe IW would be continuing with that series. Instead I could see IW put out a Modern Warfare Remaster collection with all the Modern Warfare games in one package, remastered and re-balanced for next gen.
While they do that Treyarch continues an extra year of DLC for Blops.

Played the heck out of the MP but the single player was also brutal and very cool.

Stupid Nostradamus prediction:
2015 - Destiny Year 2, 3arc COD
2016 - Destiny 2, 3arc COD Year 2
2017 - Destiny 2 Year 2, IW COD
2017 is also the 10th anniversary of Modern Warfare, and it'd be awfully cute for the schedule to fall into place like that...

I personally liked them more since World At War. MW2 very nearly killed my interest in the series until Black Ops came out.
But different strokes etc and a lot of the old staff going on to make Titanfall means things turned out good in the end.

WAW had awesome campaign coop (the only one until BO3) but its "difficulty" was utter bullshit. These last levels on veteran with infinite spawns for grenade spamming enemies still give me nightmares.
Still, it did that Pacific theater that not enough games do. Like CoD 2 doing Tunisia/Libya.
I liked how they introduced gore and dismemberment for the more powerful weapons, as well as the flamethrower which just roasted them like Chesnuts. All together, the Russian campaign was a lot more brutal than any of the IW campaigns
Edit: Nm misread your post

I hope there is Single Player Campaign DLC as well as MP maps.
It's COD...and a Blacks Ops COD at that. I'm sure they are.
