Rumour: Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 to get 2 years worth of DLC
- Thread starter AHA-Lambda
- Start date
No, i said it was decent.
Treyarch wasn't a bad studio before, but IW really did have the commanding lead until MW1, but after that i felt they were surpassed at their own game. With MW2, they stopped making quality and went for bombastic Hollywood nonsense complete with unnecessary shock value moments instead of making the set pieces more diverse or the game more engaging.
They essentially became the epitome of the negative stereotypes of AAA multi million dollar games
One of the things that gave me a lot of respect for Treyarch was them managing to make COD3 in around 8 - 9 months. I mean, I hated it and it's still my least favourite COD game but I still respect the fact they managed to get a single player campaign/multiplayer game out in that restricted time. I never played COD3s multi though, just single player and I know some of my friends enjoyed COD3s multi. They were always talented but just the 'lesser' studio in IW and Activisions eyes but they've shown themselves to be a damned decent studio IMO. Hell I even enjoyed some of the other games that they made like Quantum Of Solance etc before they were given time to breathe.
Still the only multi with controllable vehicles. I wonder if they'll ever bring those back again...
WaW had the tanks in a couple maps.
World At War did as well from what I remember though I think it was only tanks.

I'm not the hugest Call of Duty guy anymore, but man, seeing all this stuff for BLOPS 3 is pretty impressive. Seems like a lot of content. I'm sure a lot of people are going to love it.
You sure about that? Guess you haven't been paying attention to what has been happening at Infinity Ward, but I have and I think im 90% sure that Ghost is dead. Next year is Naughty Dogs turn to make COD with the help of Neversoft
Doesn't World at War have tanks on some maps?
edit: beaten to death, through heaven, through purgatory, through hell, and back to life
I genuinely don't know, what's been happening at Infinity Ward ? Recently I mean, I assume you aren't talking about the initial breakup.

I don't see IW taking 4 years on one CoD. It's every 3 years now with 3 teams, is it not?
Really...? That reminds me atleast of one stupid ass thing they did at the time. Locking maps behind the purchasing of map packs. I can't remember how many times i cursed out the TV trying to load up a map and then getting booted immediately just cause i didn't buy the pack the map came with.

Going the Battlefield 4 route!
I wouldn't mind more multiplayer games having a year of paid DLC and a year of free DLC like Battlefield 4.

wants to fuck an Asian grill.
Imagine if next year there is no mainline CoD.
Would be the best thing to happen to this franchise since the A-10 Warthog killstreak.
I think he may be speaking of what remains of IW merging with the ashes of Neversoft
Last year IW picked up two Naughty Dog designers (lead game designer and narrative design lead) who worked on The Last of Us. They also merged Neversoft into IW.

Maybe 2015 - BO3
2016 - The remakes of the COD's we liked

That would be great. Get rid of IW and have Sledgehammer and Treyarch alternate releasing a game every two years.
2015 - BO3
2017 - AW2
2019 - WaW2
2021 - AW3
Massively help cut down on franchise fatigue and ensure better games. Plus, I do think with more experience Sledgehammer could make great multiplayer. The campaign in AW was great, but a lot of decisions in multiplayer sucked.
Ah right, very interesting.
Hmm does make me wonder what they've got planned for them now then.
Cod season passes are 50 bucks geez dude
Yep same here. Probably just going to be just playing this until the next Battlefield.

Did no one play extinction? Ghosts was great.
The narrative guy didn't work on TLOU (only Uncharted) but yeah.
I will tell you basically Activision hired big names from Naughty Dog and those guys were given the reigns over Infinity Ward, so they make the decisions now.
They then took Neversoft and they joined, IW. So IW now has Neversoft working together but no more Neversoft and just one big Infinity Ward.
Last year was known that a top guy from Respawn Entertainment who was exInfinity Ward who was responsible for MW2 multiplayer Left Respawn to join Infinity Ward and he's working on the multiplayer for their next COD
_-- also that Rubin guy who was the the lead designer at IW got fired, so weak small team IW worked on MW3 and Ghost
I loved Extinction but not enough to pay for the season pass. I enjoyed it's mental campaign as well but honestly I'd be happy for them to leave it all behind to concentrate on something new.
Ah thanks
That bolded part would worry me personally though....Blops 1 is basically WaW 2 so that be silly.
4 years of CoD BO3 it is then.
If they do a CoD release at all it could just be a remaster or something. Or release a disc of Black Ops 3 with the Season 1 DLC plus some extras to advertise Season 2.

Lol hate to be a IW buzzkill but that guy from respawn is back at respawn. We were discussing in the other thread.
A full fledged Call of Duty: Alien Warfare would be stellar, but it'd never happen
Extinction was the only really good part of Ghosts to me. If they don't do Ghosts 2, they should still keep Extinction. I wouldn't agree that Ghosts was great though. One mode does not a game make.

Are the DLC maps for this game going to be free or was that for another game?

Not to hound you about this but, like his LinkedIn, that page also looks outdated. It doesn't even say he worked on Titanfall, or any of his following projects.
Seems like a smart move if this turns out to be true. I would gladly support a season pass 2 / expansion pack pricing for BLOPS 3 if the first year of content turns out to be good, which from everything that has leaked so far it certainly seems to be offering a lot right off the bat.

Will buy just for the zombies mode. I wonder what IW does next though. I hope they return to WW2.
It isn't outdated as he was not on that list when Titanfall released but is now. Also it has a number of newer hires including Stig from the God of War team as well as a number of other people on that cancelled project who moved over to Respawn
About your point it only mentions shipped games that he was working on and he left Respawn in late 2012 along with the other lead Zied Rieke.
Seriously, it's like you got Black Ops 3, then you got your sight and two attachments, then you get that primary gunfighter wildcard and add another attachment, then you put the card on again and add another attachment, then you get overkill and add a whole second gun.
If this rumor pans out, then the fully loaded Black Ops 3 will be something amazing to behold.

Please let this mean IW is skipping Ghosts and giving us a remastered MW collection. PLEASE.

I'm a weirdo and check Titanfall's Company page like once a month lol.
They update it all the time. They already have the Kojima Prod LA person on there who joined the team.

You know this for sure?
Also, if he was there up to 2012, he obviously worked on Titanfall and it would be on his bio.

Wait Stig is working on Titanfall 2?
Lol same boat
I am sure that he wasn't on there at Titanfall launch but is now. Seems logical that he is back there based on that.

No - http://www.polygon.com/2014/6/12/5804984/stig-asmussen-respawn-entertainment
I mean, things change, but it seems unlikely. Respawn has multiple projects, so he's more than likely working on non-TF stuff.
Maybe they just mean he is not working on content for TF1. I imagine he is heading up a SP campaign for TF2.
