Call of Duty Black Ops 3 Release Date Was Announced

The third installment of Call of Duty Black Ops is set to be released on November 6, 2015. Open betas are not really their thing if you think about it, their last CoD game to feature an open beta prior to release was World at War. With Black Ops 3 all of that will change and everybody that pre-orders the game will have access to the open multiplayer beta.

The game will be available on PC and on the next gen consoles, such as PS4 and Xbox One, but it will not come out on PS3 and Xbox 360.

The beta will most likely feature three, different sized maps but no official statement was made as of yet. Treyarch’s studio lead, Mark Lamia confirmed that the multiplayer beta will be accessible by everybody who pre-ordered the game. He also stated that by doing this, they hope to attract more people that will play the game, prior to its release.

The PC version will be compatible with Windows 8.1 on 64 Bits, Windows 7 on 64 Bits and Windows 8, also on 64 Bits. The game will most likely be compatible with Windows 10 as well.

They have also released the minimum system requirements for PC along with a short preview. If you were to compare it with last year’s CoD Advanced Warfare, you will see that Black Ops 3 is only a little more demanding, only in the GPU region.

Treyarch said that they are putting a lot of emphasis on PC stability and good performance, showing a lot of confidence by releasing the minimum system requirements so early.

Last year’s CoD was exclusive to Flipkart, but because of the announcement, saying that that they will no longer act as a marketplace for the gaming scene, it is unlikely for the same deal to repeat this year.

The game’s story is set in a futuristic world, where, trough the use of biotech and cybernetics, they have created a new type of super-soldier. You get to play as a commando, in a world where technology is pushed to its limits, in a four-man-co-op campaign.

Activision’s communications manager, Scott Lowe, said that the new “movement system” will allow players to move more naturally throughout the environment and, at the same time, maintain full control over his weapons.

CoD Black Ops 3 will also feature a specialization system and a weapon customization option.
