Is it really necessary with the new consoles though?
Well Treyarch really picked up their paces since World at War...
Black Ops I was good, it introduce a lot of easter eggs like old school shooting scrollers, and stuff like that. Not to mention that the story was solid. One of the few times I play the single player in a CoD. Also it introduces wacky weapons ala bond movies. Reintroduction of zombies was also good!!!
Blacks Ops II just has a really tight multiplayer segment. I still keep playing to this day. Especially the Wii U version where my nephew and me play on our screens.
My hopes for III is a combination of the previous two.
Lets see how it goes.

Advanced Warfare was a new engine so it probably will be.

Not going to happen. Activision knows that 50% of their userbase is still on 360 and PS3. Probably won't be until Infinity Ward next year that we get the first current-gen only title
That said, I heavily doubt the last-gen versions will be developed by Treyarch.

Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on who I ask), I skipped out on Ghosts, so I was pretty excited about AW since I hadn't played a COD in a while. You see, COD is my go-to game when I'm feeling competitive (or when I'm not playing something else), and it usually keeps me occupied (on and off) until the next COD. But AW is the first COD I couldn't stomach for more than a couple of months because I loathed just about everything about it.

Then why not just come out with some crappy last gen version/port and still have the main entry current gen?

Choo choo! Zombie hype train is boarding!!!!

DMan, I was telling my brother the other day, if they announce that Black Ops III, I'd probably get it. He got me into BO2 and I really couldn't put it down. The maps in that game were so awesome. That and the first MW are the only COD I've played. Gonna go for that diamond knife again.

I'm ready.
Theater mode is a must, but I'm missing how the gibs were from WAW. They were toned down a bit in BO and nonexistent in BOII.

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
The pic in the OP makes it seem like the exo suits are returning.

Futuristic bullshit. Ugh. Give us a reprieve. Maybe the pic/details are just exaggerated.
I thought treyarch would be the one to save us, not add to it. I'll wait for more information though. Maybe it's scaled back.

Agree, Treyarch is really the last hope, but I have a bad feeling that what's done is done. I know I would be on board day one for Wii U - it would be a such a travesty if those unique FPS pointer controls go away... SO MUCH FUN.

Keep zombies for the zombies and let us coop campaign like in world at war. Horde modes can only be fun for so long before they become stale. I wish they made an additional campaign for zombies mode Too
I really hope they leave the exo alone and don't put it in black ops 3
It ruined the game the way I see it I get the wanted "change" but it shoukve just been a playlist it something it time the COD feel out of the game just can't get into it
My wanted list
No EXO
Kill streaks that acutaly worth fighting for
Proper match making
Better hit detection
Not asking for much

Not necessary. The point of zombie mode is to not be forced through a linear story like the campaign mode, but to investigate the story at your own risk while fighting the zombie hordes.
The lore in zombie mode is deeper than the story in Black Ops and feels very special in comparison.
Leave zombies the way it's been before.
If you don't like it, play left 4 dead
Absolutely necessary. The console recording feature only records what you see from your own perspective. The theater mode lets you jump to other player's perspectives or go into a free-floating spectator cam and view the action from a remote point of view. Everything every player does in a match is recorded in theater mode. Even if it's something across the map that you never witnessed, you can see it in theater mode.
It's not just a simple "record what's on the screen" feature. It's a complete 3D reenactment of the match.

AW wasn't new enough for ya?
Yep. I also really loved the Transit idea from Blops2. I wish they would expand on that. I love how big that level is.

It still used a lot old animations... Especially some Copy&Paste from Ghosts.
Most annoying animation to me is the running animation for characters in CoD.. it looks so outdated now lol
Seriously. BO2 was good too, but part 1 was Treyarch's COD4. I hope they have WW2 flashback levels at least.

So is it armor or....? I'm pretty sure I see sometype of connected joint around the elbow or something.

?? I don't see it. I just watched again and it looked like a normal human silhouette, maybe wearing some gear.

I borrowed AW from a cousin during easter. While playing the MP my HUD was constantly being 'hacked' or something like that. Im guessing that is supposed to be a killstreak. And while that happens you can't see shit, might as well be flashbanged. Its baffling how such shitty design made it to the final product.

Look at the guy's arms there's like metal joints or something on them.

His whole arms appears to be metal, or at least mostly.

Yup people are confusing Exo suits with this.
To me it looks like a kind of Cyborg. Or Half human, half robot. No exo.
But shinobi already said there is Dash and Wall running etc

Removing Theater Mode was the stupidest thing IW has done. It did not remove the lag Ghost had. Blops 2 had the least amount of issue with lag out of all the CoD games
Maybe only like super strength or something
BO3 does not need that at all, BO2 is still the best, i dont want exo plz.....
and who is shinobi?
It's a bad design decision but everyone just uses hardwire so it's not a big deal.

Not seeing it. I see some kind of panel looking things on the forearms, but that's it.

The majority of the game's maps are small or seemingly small because of the EXO suits. Even on the largest map, it doesn't take long to traverse the landscape. As for S&D, I'm pretty sure I was already clear on that, but to reiterate:
The additional time it takes to plant/disarm a bomb in S&D (7.5 seconds opposed to 5 seconds in every other COD) makes no sense whatsoever considering how fast people can get to it now.
In other words, there's absolutely no reason to increase the time it takes to plant/disarm the bomb when players can swarm the bomb site(s) in a matter of seconds. Planting the bomb is no longer a priority and is less likely to happen.
You can disagree about the weapons and EXOs all you want, but it doesn't make it any less of a fact. I disagree with poachers, but they're still a fact.
We get it. You like AW.
emm nope. Still had its roots on the Quakeengine and you could feel that very very much. Shooting from the head, wrong tracking, weird hitboxes, headglitching, animations were not that great.
It is time to pass on. Paired with their horrible netcode, the engine becomes even worse.

Yeah I can kinda see that. Like the arm is in a metal sleeve maybe?

Yeah I could see something cyborg-ish. Not seeing anything remotely resembling an exo though.Yup people are confusing Exo suits with this.

They always say it's a new engine it's not just heavily modified. Still has the same shit netcode.
I'm hyped for this hopefully the maps are tailored to the movement this time. I think the Aw maps are to small for exo movement.
