The lacklustre story is likely to turn any initial enjoyment into confusion toward the mid-point, and then finally into frustration and annoyance by the end. Sadly, the single player storyline is a mess for most of the plot players aren’t sure who they’re fighting or why, and when the big reveal happens, it’s horribly underwhelming. It’s a handy sci-fi trope that gives you enough futuristic powers that you’re a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield, but not so much that you’re the same sort of god-like super-soldier (as was the case in Advanced Warfare).
This lets you “talk” to other similarly-augmented soldiers as you’re all connected, and lets you do things like hack security doors, download data and pull off some neat sci-fi battlefield tricks such as remote drone control, overloading robotic circuits from afar and sending swarms of incendiary nanobots after human enemies. But you also received something called a DNI, a powerful neural implant that not only controls your new limbs, but which can also interface with any computer system in existence thanks to a super-advanced adaptive AI. Your character – who can be either male or female this time around – gets a set of cybernetic limbs because theirs got ripped off in the game’s opening moments. It’s a bit preachy in places, but less so than previous games. In its place is a story about cyborg soldiers and the technology that links them and, of course, the dangers inherent in its research, development and deployment. Thankfully, Treyarch has ditched the convoluted 1960s flashback nonsense of the last two Black Ops games. Like its predecessor – and last year’s Call Of Duty: Advanced Warfare, CODBLOPS3’s single player campaign is set in the future, only this time it’s the very distant future of 2070-odd. Call Of Duty: Black Ops 3 – Single Player Campaign Treyarch’s games have gone from strength to strength over the last two iterations, but Call Of Duty: Black Ops 3 takes a few missteps the single-player campaign is awful but the game’s online mode makes up for it and, of course, the return of zombies is very welcome. This was before Zampella and West left the Modern Warfare developer under something of a cloud and Treyarch kicked out the first Call Of Duty: Black Ops, which to date, is still the biggest selling title in Activision’s FPS series. No round counter Mission Names Some of the mission names revealed so far.A million years ago back in 2008, Treyarch was looked at as the Call Of Duty developer stuck playing second fiddle to Vince Zampella and Jason West’s Infinity Ward. First mission, note the open spaces and lush scenery. Leaked Images (Proof) The classic mystery box is included in the Nightmares game mode. You can replay any mission and increase or lower the difficulty at any time. Once you open up the Nightmares menu you'll see a familiar campaign layout with options for Resume Story, Select Mission and Change Difficulty. See the image above which shows the Nightmares menu option just below Zombies and Freerun.
How to unlock Nightmares Quite simple really: complete the final Campaign story mission in Black Ops 3 to unlock a new menu option. It's too early to judge just yet, but these maps look far too familiar and could ultimately just be a reskin of the main campaign with zombies thrown in.
If you listen carefully, certain names are revealed such as Dr Salim who is one of the main characters from the original campaign. This is good, but in reality this campaign looks like a simple spinoff from the core campaign.
The missions are very classical, resembling more of a Resident Evil style with open space and beautiful areas to explore. It also contains more supernatural themes with tentacle creatures from the Shadows of Evil map. Before fans jump up and down with excitement - this campaign mode does NOT follow the famous characters from the original zombies game i.e. This campaign mode takes zombies to a more linear story mode with individual missions to play through and complete. All of the pre-release rumours were true, Black Ops 3 does contain a Zombies Campaign mode and it's called Nightmares.
