Call of Duty Black Ops III Beta Available to ALL XBone and and PC Users - Polidicks

[QUOTE=formatme;48568817]so cringe, look at cod aw. people said the same thing who cares you also live in uk playing on usa servers so no shit ur netcode is gonna be awful[/QUOTE] there are EU servers too lol AW MP is better than this. better art direction too

I played it on the Xbox One. It's a pretty generic CoD game, only with improved movement. Nothing more. They should just make a standalone zombies game, because that's all I'll really play CoD for anymore. I mean, the zombies for Black Ops III does look pretty fun

[QUOTE=ashxu;48567533]don't bother if your pc isn't that good. I have a gtx 960 and I couldn't get 60 on low-medium settings. I can max out crysis 2 on at least 70-90. [/QUOTE] I don't know what's wrong with your 960 then. Running it on Default(which I believe is medium) with a 670(weaker than a 960, barely) and running it perfectly fine with the exception of the occasional stutter and that's most likely from my lack of a large amount of RAM. That being said, the game HATES if you try to tab out, haven't tried it yet with my second screen active to see if it supports having a second screen decently or not(as some games hate 2 screens). The game feels a lot less "clunky" as I found Modern Warfare 2 to be, I found the movement very slow and sluggish compared to previous Call of Duties. Not saying I'd buy it, but I don't have this one on my list of awful COD games for now.

I will be checking it out just for kicks, no one in their right mind would pay for these games.

I tried it, I liked it. Takes me back to when Unreal Tournament was a thing. It's not a Call of Duty game though. It's something, different. And it's definitely not a Black Ops 2+1.

I spend 15 minutes just getting to the main menu, and I wait 5 minutes for a map to load only to get kicked.

I tried it and I wasn't that much of a fan, but that might be from not being able to run it smoothly more than anything else, honestly.

[QUOTE=BazzBerry;48566114]It's getting pretty brutal reviews on Steam[/QUOTE] I'm going to be honest, people's biggest problem with it is change. There's Battlefield-style specialists, movement got changed up, melee isn't a one-hit-kill anymore unless you replace one of your weapon slots with a knife and use it, etc.

[QUOTE=formatme;48568817]so cringe, look at cod aw. people said the same thing who cares you also live in uk playing on usa servers so no shit ur netcode is gonna be awful[/QUOTE] sorry for not liking a game you like

I personally love it on the Xbox One. I played the PC version, and its just a really shitty port. I prefer CoD on console for some reason.

Only getting it for Zombies

I liked Advanced Warfare's movement system better. Also I think they forgot to tell the Level Designers that the players have jetpacks because there's fucking obnoxious invisible walls everywhere.

I kinda enjoyed this one, the weapons don't sound like peashooters anymore and I like the new movement. Last CoD I played was Modern Warfare 2 though.

The movement system combined with the new map design styles, makes it fairly trivial to sneak up behind people. I have a feeling that's going to make a lot of people very angry.

Apparently this has dedicated servers but it REALLY doesn't feel like it. I guess the blame squarely falls on the netcode.

Drakon Sniper Rifle with Recon Sight, that's getting nerfed like immediately after release, or even before then. They made a semi-auto sniper rifle, with 1-shot kills to upper chest and head, and with the Recon Sight, you're way less zoomed in, but you also gain accuracy and range. On some maps, it's hilariously overpowered. You can fire 2-3 shots before it's too inaccurate for spamming, and with mouse aiming, you get one hit kills 90% of the time you hit the target.

Netcode's fucked, played a game, it's almost 3AM here so I got stuffed on an American server probably, had 150 ping. Everyone looked fine to me, and I shot them easily, but then when I got the final killcam of the TDM game, I saw how much I was personally warping on everyone's clients. Wow. You'd be a damn magician to hit me.

I also got like 60-80 fps on all low and it seemed like there was quite a bit of mouse lag. The game mechanics themselves seem pretty good though, can't complain about much else in a beta. EDIT: oh wait it's releasing in 2 months, it's barely even a beta

Game crashes <5 mins and is unplayable for me. Sad because those 5 mins that I did play was p. fun.

I like it so far but I'll wait for a bit so I can soak in the Phantom Pain and wait for drivers and updates to be released so the game works perfectly.

can i play the zombie mode? I really don't care for call of the same duty it was 2 years ago.

not until its out no

The optimization is HORRIBLE, I got 35 fps on minimum settings on my Radeon 7770.

[QUOTE=ridinmybike;48571923]can i play the zombie mode? I really don't care for call of the same duty it was 2 years ago.[/QUOTE] Except it isn't the same Call of Duty a few years ago. It's got some similarities, but there are enough changes to the formula to make it at least new/interesting.

Compared to using like a shotgun, I got like half the kills. Besides, it's more fun to use the shotgun. Besides, anyone with an assault rifle or SMG can completely fuck you up if you don't kill him first shot, which happens a good amount of the time.
