COD Black Ops III: Pre-Order Editions

Hey Doods!

     Okay, so I might be doing too many things on Black Ops III but so far I'm just so hyped for it! Even for the previous gen version. Anyway's, we've all seen that Treyarch has released special editions for all Black Ops so far. The Prestige Edition, Care Package Edition, and now the Juggernog Edition. This edition comes with some things that are a big find for the people that play the game only for Zombies.

     So there are actually four pre-order editions for Black Ops III, Season Pass Edition, Hardened, Digital Deluxe, and the biggest one yet, Juggernog edition. We'll be going bottom to top having the Season pass be the smallest and Juggernog being the biggest.

     So the Season Pass edition is pretty self-explanatory in the fact that you get all the maps that come with or after the release of the game. This edition comes with Nuk3town and The Giant bonus map.
     ( Do know that you can get any of the maps if you get the season pass and you can get The Giant and Nuk3town with the season pass after release as well. That's all that this edition contains.)

     The Hardened edition comes with the steelbook, season pass, and two of the DLC camouflages from Black Ops II. This also comes with Nuk3town and The Giant. It also contains art of the nine specialist characters and their backstory on the back. That's all this one contains.

     The Two DLC camouflages are Weaponized 115 and Cyborg.

     Next up, the Digital Deluxe Edition. This contains the season pass and the two DLC camouflages. It of course contains Nuk3town and The Giant. That's all this one holds.

     Finally we have The Juggernog Edition. This one is about 200 U.S. dollars. It's worth it though. This edition comes with everything from the previous editions plus a little extra. It comes with the Black Ops III downloadable digital soundtrack. It comes with a little tin that has little perk-a-cola coasters which I might need inside it. The real meat of the package is something they've never done before. This contains a portable Juggernog Mini Fridge which can hold up to twelve cans. It has fully functional lights and makes little sounds when it opens and closes! I think that that's pretty cool! Anyway's I'll do another post soon on other things but I better start searching just in case.

     Anyway's I'm gonna head out, see you guys in the next post! Bye!

Bad News For Old Generation Consoles

Hey Doods!

     I just wanted to put out some bad news, sorry once again about the lack of posts. Anyway's this is going to be about previous generation consoles. Some of the new updates that are for current generation will not be available on last generation. For Black Ops III there will be no season pass or DLC which in my opinion is complete bullsh*t considering they took out a crap ton other features. For GTA I think that the new Lowrider update is only going to be for current gen, I still haven't confirmed this so I'll update this post when I find out. Kinda sucks if it's not on old gen though, I really wanted that machete. Anyway's I just wanted to put out this post so that you guys know what you're getting into with some of these games, do know though that GTA would still be fun on last gen and that your stuff transfers if you linked it to the social club. For Black Ops III though, it won't transfer. This is updated as of 10/30/15 the lowrider update is not availible for last gen sorry guys I just figured this out, I'm kinda bummed. Anyway's guys I'm going to go. See you guys in the next one! Bye!

COD Black Ops III Info: Zombies

Hey Doods!

     Time for some Zombies Info! By the way be aware that I haven't found much for Zombies, sorry I'll try to update this post soon.

     Let's start off with the default zombies map, Shadows Of Evil. This map is going to include four characters, a cop, female idunno, magician, and a boxer. I forgot their names already. This map is going to be a little like Tranzit, it will have several "Districts" and will have a train that you can ride around on. There is this new quote unquote "perk machine" called GobbleGum. This will give you a perk that when activated or just used instantly, does things like spawn a nuke or max ammo somewhere in the map. Let's hope the bank doesn't make a return. There will be some futuristic guns from multiplayer like the Locus, Man o' War, and HVK random numbers. I don't know all of the names sorry just google them. There is going to be a shield that is the Zombie Shield and will have rocket boosters on the sides where you could lunge at the zombies with a huge boost. There is an achievement that has the description "Do All The Rituals In One Game" or something like that. We can only assume that this is the Easter Egg achievement so I'm guessing that the egg is a demonic type of one.
     Dead Ops Arcade is coming back! There was an achievement that had the description "Defeat The Silverback In Dead Ops 2" The title is "Silver Back In Black" I personally think that Dead Ops is the most underrated map in Zombies.
     The Giant still has no achievements listed so I'm just going to leave it out for this and by the way it's just a re-make of Der Riese so none of us know what to expect.
     If I left something out that you think would be important enough to put into the post then just leave a comment down below and I'll do my best to look for information on it. Anyway's that'll be all for this post, I just want to say I wrote this on October 23, 2015 so just in case you were wondering.

Grand Theft Auto V: Lowrider Update

Hey Doods!

     I know that this isn't the usual you see from me, it's usually COD related but just note that this is a general gaming blog not just a Black Ops III blog. Anyways, let's begin.

     The Lowrider update is an update for current gen consoles only (I can't go into much detail since I still just have the 360) and it will include new cars that can be bought I'm assuming from the internet and can be customized in a new garage called "Benny's Original Motor Works" I'm assuming that people are just going to be calling it "Benny's" for short. This update has a van that allows two handed weapons like assault rifles and snipers to be shot from the back doors. This garage can equip your new lowriders with hydrolics, steering wheels, and I'm assuming everything that LSC can offer. If you have a social club, which I'm assuming you do since your reading this and you probably play GTA Online or you wouldn't be reading this, just go look at the E-mail that Rockstar Games sent you. That's where I'm getting most of my information.
     One big thing which I hope is going to be in old gen, you can now purchase a fourth house or garage! I'll tweet @RockstarGames and see if I can find out if this is only on current gen. Sorry but I don't understand why people say next gen when so many people have upgraded already, it should be called current gen.
     Anyway's I hope that this was an informational post rather than a humorous or rant post. And I hope you got something useful out of this, I'll see you guys in the next post, depending on what I uncover, I don't know what it'll be about!

COD Black Ops III Info: Let's Talk FPS

Hey Doods!

     Sorry I haven't been posting, nothing interesting has been uncovered or shared about Black Ops III in a while so I have nothing to post about. But recent news is that Call of Duty Black Ops III on old generation consoles is going to have 30 fps multiplayer. As you all probably know, COD is known for it's 60 fps experience, the developers of porting Black Ops III to old gen said that this is the max that they're willing to go and that they strived for 60 but couldn't achieve it. This sucks for the old gen people such as myself but I guess we'll have to deal with it and learn how to adapt to 30 fps. I just wanted to do a little update for Black Ops III, I'm going to be doing a post soon about the low-rider update for GTA Online and other things like that, do understand that this is still a general gaming blog not just Black Ops III, that's just the game that I'm most interested for the time being. Please note that this is not confirmed for zombies even though that I would expect it to be. Anyway's look out for that post soon, I'll probably post it tomorrow, if not later tonight. Anyway's see you guys later, I gotta start on my H.W.

Diamond Camouflage Confirmed and A New Camo!?

Hey Doods!

     I have been looking at the interview on the Call of Duty channel on YouTube and I was a little bit confused about the last part of it. The question was if Diamond camo was coming back and Von said yes it is coming back but he also said that there might be something special after it. Sorry for all of the zombies players, I'm going to make a post on zombies very soon so don't worry. But what do you guys think the new camo is going to be? I honestly have no clue but I hope it's not something like the golden royalty of AW because I liked the purple royalty a whole lot more and I hope that it's something purple because that'd be unusual to see on the battlefield and especially on old gen, since they're not getting paintshop. I know big surprise but I have no idea. Hardware limitations for the old gen is probably the reason for them not having paintshop.

     Anyway's another thing that was actually in the campaign trailer for Black Ops III, taunts and gestures. This was a question in the interview too and Von said again that someone, I can't remember who, would be mad at him for adding that in or frustrated. But Von said that this was sort of a gg thing and that if you were in the top three of your team you could do your gg thing and then do your taunts or your gesture. Also they mentioned character customization in multiplayer as well as campaign. They said that you could have like this gigantic hairdo and stand out in the battlefield like a sore thumb but they said you had to unlock these things.

     Anyway's that'll be it for today's post, I hope you enjoyed and leave a comment bellow what you think the new camo is! I put it so that you could be anonymous so if you can't sign in you can still comment so fell free! Anyway's I gotta go! Bye!

COD Black Ops III Multiplayer: Specialists (yes all 9)

Hey Doods!

     If you are a zombies player this post is not for you, sorry but there isn't enough zombies information for a zombies post yet.
     Anyway's to the point of this post, I'm going to give you guys all the information so far about the multiplayer specialists, an all new feature in Call of Duty. This feature will allow you to choose a certain "goal" so to speak.
     Every specialist has an ability and weapon. You can only choose one at the beginning of a game. When you first start out, you get an unlock token which originally made an appearance in Black Ops II. You unlock an ability or weapon with this and the game will not let you do anything else. If you have multiple unlocked, you can change your specialist pre and post game. You cannot change mid-game. Every specialist has a background story and you might be able to customize them, don't quote me on that though, the game hasn't come out yet.
     Okay, enough with the template of a specialist, let's get into the actual specialists themselves.

          1)Seraph-
      Weapon-Annihilator Pistol-one shot kill no matter what, good for colats
      Ability-Combat Focus-Double the score towards killstreaks and in game leaderboard score, good to get to the top three players on your team or overall.

           2)Reaper-
      Weapon-Scythe-Minigun Arm- The Death Machine killstreak from Black Ops 2, good for taking on groups of enemies that are n00bs
      Ability-Psychosis-Spawns in three clones that are highlighted blue but you are highlighted blue, good for distraction.

          3)Firebreak-
     Weapon-Purifier-Flamethrower
     Ability-Heatwave-big stun grenade that doesn't do damage, good if your outnumbered constantly.

          4)Battery-
     Weapon-War Machine- The killstreak from Black Ops 2, good if you wanna make things go boom!
     Ability-Kinetic Armor-Temporarily invincible everywhere but the head, bad if enemies are accurate.

          5)Spectre- (My Bae)
     Weapon-Ripper-one shot melee weapon, good if you hate punching!
     Ability-Active Camo-Self Explanatory, good if you need those few seconds for a ninja defuse!

         6)Nomad- (n00b)
     Weapon-H.I.V.E-shoots little swarms of nano-bots that tear you to shreds, good for camping sadly...
     Ability-Rejack-quick revive in multiplayer, good if you die constantly.

          7)Ruin-
     Weapon-Gravity Spikes-Kills everyone in a radius depending on height that you started at, good for clearing objectives!
     Ability-Overdrive-huge speed boost, good for S&D if you like to rush!

         8)Prophet-
     Weapon-Tempest-Shoots lightning bolts that is a one shot kill and can spread to other players nearby the player that was shot.
     Ability-Glitch-Teleports you to where you were a few seconds ago, good if you wanna mess with the enemy.

         9)Outrider-
     Weapon-Sparrow-A bow that is a one shot kill, players stumble backwards and explode, good for obj. players.
     Ability-Vision Pulse-an enemy grenade from AW, good if you can't find the enemy players R.I.P the hiding challenge!

          Anyway's those are all of the specialist in Call of Duty Black Ops III Multiplayer! By the way it seems that the Call of Duty channel on YouTube is constantly giving way more information than I am so go over there the link is right here so go over there and show COD some love, I think that Activision runs the channel but Treyarch, Infinity Ward, and Sledghammer Games are just authors on the channel so go ahead and check out their stuff before you come over here because they give way more in-depth stuff than I do. So I'm going to be heading out now and by the way I'm going to be playing Black Ops II on the 360 so this might be the last post of the week, don't worry I'm not having a gigantic break like a while ago, that's over the summer time.
          I'll see you guys in the next post!!

Black Ops III Info as Far As 10-12-15

Hey Doods,

     I just wanted to put at least one page up about COD Black Ops III and the last date I gave was a wrong date I'm sorry if you got hyped that was just me being a stoop. The real date of the release is November 6, 2015 and I just wanted to apologize for having this post so close to the release but I just got this PC a week ago so I should be posting more often maybe two or three times a week at minimum. Maybe once a week, sorry I still have school to do.
     So we have recently found out with all the trailers that there is a new movement system and it consists of many different things that we've seen in previous call of duties and some are brand new. Let's start with how to do these new movements. There's a bar under your crosshairs and every time you do a movement other than sprinting and wall-running, it takes away from this movement meter and once this meter is empty, you can't slide and boost jump, you can do everything else though.
     Wall-Running. Sprint towards a wall and move the left analog stick about 45 degrees towards the wall. So if the wall is to your right, you have to move the stick to the right but still be pointing forwards a little bit.
     Sliding. While sprinting, press and hold B to preform a slide. This movement takes about half of your movement meter at maximum.
     Boost Jumping. Tap A while jumping off a ledge to preform a boost jump. Note that you can boost jump at any given time but it is most recommended to jump off a ledge before preforming this movement. If you want to jump off the ground with a boost jump, simply tap, release, and then hold A for a jump that is slower than an exo-suit but can get you just as high. You can also extend your time in the air by tapping A while airborne. That's why I recommend holding A to get airborne if starting on the ground.
     Swimming. Just try and walk in the water and you start swimming. Note that you can only do so in deep waters.
     Mantling. You can now mantle in any direction while keeping your weapon in front of you.
     That's enough for the movement. Call of Duty Black Ops III is based around a "guns up mentality" which means that no matter what your doing (besides sprinting) you'll have the ability to ads, shoot, and use equipment while doing so. There is no animation for mantling unless you count your legs barely in front of you as an animation. There are no ladders in Black Ops III and also no traditional gamemode like we saw in Advanced Warfare.
     The storyline is based forty years after the events of Black Ops II, the technology has become far more advanced than that though. Soldiers have prosthetic limbs and other technology being surgically attached to them such as an eye that produces a HUD. The trailer for the Black Ops III storyline said that "The good thing about being black ops, is that we get early access to all the technology years ahead of release." There's a chip in the back of this soldiers neck that allows him to control all of his abilities that he uses in the battlefield such as the fireflies. These are tiny robots that come out of his arm and sets enemies on fire.
     But the rising action of this story is that the technology starts effecting their non-prosthetic limbs such as their hearts because in the first trailer we saw a soldier with prosthetic limbs holding her chest as if she had mild heartburn. Please don't take this as fact because these are all assumptions and the limbs might just give her bad heartburn instead.
     Anyway's onto Zombies and I'm pretty sure a lot of you are here for just the zombies and I'm fine with that I'm just trying to get this info out there.
     The maps. We have learned that there will be two maps in Black Ops III to start off which is a surprise because this is the first time they've done this ever. There will be a default called "Shadows of Evil" which takes place in a city in Chicago known as Morgue City. This map might feature a train that takes you around the map similar to Transit but not like Transit at all and we've heard from an ex-employee at Treyarch that the codename or something for this map is "SFT" which stands for "Sorry For Transit". There will be a gumball machine that gives you special abilities like insa nuke and other things like it. The perk jingles are revamped to a more 1920's or something along those lines. There is going to be a nova zombie boss with three heads and you have to aim for the head to kill it just like past zombie bosses from Black Ops II.
     The map will include four characters as usual and there is a magician, cop, boxer, and i forgot the last one.
     The other map is only available for special pre-order editions of Black Ops III called "The Giant". Treyarch is bringing back one of the most loved maps in zombies, Der Riese. I'm assuming that I don't have to run you guys through what this map is like if you guys have been in the zombies community for a long time so I'm just going to run over the basics of Der Riese.
     Der Riese was the final map for zombies in the first COD title that Treyarch created, World At War or WAW. This map was based around the late 1940's and was based around the idea of linking teleporters to a main pad at spawn to open up a new machine known none other as, the Pack-a-Punch. I don't even have to explain what this does. This was the first map to actually have an Easter Egg, besides the fact that it didn't have an achievement. And just to think, for the new people in the zombies community, they're getting this remastered and the older people are two!
     Anyway's I'll go over the rest in another post but for now I'm going to leave it at that because this has way to much info to cover for one post. A little thing that is awesome that Treyarch or Activision is doing is a livestream every Friday also going up on the Call Of Duty YouTube channel. I don't know all of the information but if I find out I'll go straight here and try to post as much information as I can. Anyway's I'll get to work on the second post after I'm done typing, so I'll see you guys later!
