Seems like Black Ops 3 is gonna be like Deus Ex.

I'm interested to see how modifications will change how the game plays.

Sounds more like the obvious place to take the narrative with the exo shit they had in Advance Warfare, so they can keep those mechanics going from AW to Black Ops 3.

Interesting setting and trailer, but knowing CoD, this is the wrong series (and dev) to explore these themes. Other than Advanced Warfare, there hasn't been a thematically well executed CoD since Modern Warfare. Every other entry has boiled down to a caricature of war glorification. That's all fine and dandy too -- it's what the series does and does well, but Activision needs to stop kidding themselves with these trailers that purport to explore something deeper. Maybe Black Ops 3 will be different, but there was so much squandered potential both with Ghosts and Black Ops 2 it's hard to be anything but doubtful.

That said, I'm still a fan of the series and Advanced Warfare did an excellent job with renewing my interest.

Mad excited. Treyarch does these games best, and they always push for something different. Let's see how this goes.

Black ops 2 had a branching storyline. In a Call of Duty game. A branching storyline.

And it worked.

So basically a super casual watered down version of DX3/4....which are both already watered down versions of DX.

COD will stay COD.

PS. OMG advertising budget is huge, and in the end it will be only a 6-hour long mediocre shooter.

You'll still be moving in a straight line and killing anyone who pops up on screen.

Was disappointed AW dropped from 4 player split screen co op to 2. The effort they seem to be making to shoehorn in another story into AW's mechanics doesn't bode well for my hope of significant engine changes.

Oh well, they don't get it back up to four I'll pass again.

This. Just a way to keep the mechanics.

@deadline-zero0: do you were skinny jeans and scarfs? your hipsterness is showing. that said if call of duty isn't your thing fine, i get that. the series isn't for everyone. spouting ignorant nonsense is another thing however. these games are some of the finest on the market in alot of ways, ignoring that makes you look like a moron. quite sick of the mindless bandwagon cod bashing.

So if the game is not RPG, it is OK to have straight line levels, weapons limit and brain dead AI? Anyways,,, I didn't say it was right or wrong, I said you'll still be moving in straight line like every other COD game, with no new stuff. Same soul, new paint.

Black Ops and Black Ops II were awesome. Treyarch knows how to make good CODs that feel fresh. Pretty excited what they will pull off in BO3

It will be like Deus Ex in a sense that it has zero RPG elements, exploration, loot, dialogue choices, skill trees, in other words nothing like Deus Ex at all because it's just another FPS with a new skin.
