4 – There’s numerous abilities and all can be upgradedĪs you’d expect from anything with Call Of Duty stamped on the front, abilities and perks play a huge role throughout. You can visit a computer to learn more about Black Ops 3’s narrative, change your emblems, discover hidden game modes, customise your character, see what collectibles you’ve found, read up on in-game challenges to attempt, muck around with your loadout, build a weapon, choose your wildcards… If it sounds familiar it should, because while dressed up a little differently, it’s as ‘multiplayer’ as the campaign has ever felt. Essentially a lobby for the campaign, it’s here where you choose what Call of Duty mode you want to partake in. 3 – There’s an offline lobby, kind of…Ī lot of this comes through what is known as ‘The Safe House’. Like its levels, you can approach the campaign – load-outs, weapons, guns, teabagging – how you want. Some may benefit a certain individual’s play style more, but this is exactly the point Black Ops 3 is trying to make: Finding the right balance isn’t necessarily the same for everyone. While there are countless abilities and perks in place which you can choose to use during the single-player, the developer is attempting to balance them so none outshines the others. The open-ended campaign is helped by what Treyarch is calling a ‘system agnostic’ setup.
2 – Campaign is aiming for as much customisation as multiplayer The point is, much like you can jump into an online match without much barrier to entry, you can now do the same offline. Hell, you can even trade weapons if you want… You can even play with friends regardless what rank they are too. No heavy-handed setup meaning there’s only one way to go through it. While this may seem somewhat bizarre for a game that’s putting a tremendous focus on story, it’s the developer’s way of making the non-multiplayer portion of Black Ops 3 feel like it’s an experience unique to you. That means if you want to start the game and play the last level first you can, or you can pick a random stage from halfway through should that take your fancy. As such, it wants you to approach it the way you see fit, including unlocking every single-player campaign level from the off.
Treyarch sees Black Ops 3 as your content, or so it says during a presentation I recently sat through. How? With these 8 things: 1 – You can play the last level first While never overtly said, it seems those behind one of gaming’s biggest franchises are well aware of this and have decided with Black Ops 3, it’s time to try and tip the balance. The continued success of the multiplayer – along with the obvious appeal of Zombies – means the single-player has taken a backseat over the last few years. Trying to get people to care about Call of Duty’s campaign is hard.
