I bought "the kids" (8 & 5 y/o girls) an XB1 last night and bundled it with AC: Unity, Forza 6, and CoD BO3.

I haven't played CoD since the original Modern Warfare on the 360. What am I in for?

You might enjoy this even more than most of us. The mechanics resemble black ops 1 as well as a bit of modern warfare. Most of us who had played advanced warfare before had to get used to the lack of boosting every which direction.

Is this l**** for anyone else?

Some games are okish but others people are jumping quite a bit.

My favorite CoD so far without a doubt. I was really frustrated with the game play in AW, seemed so arcadeish with all the boosting around every which way but I feel like they toned it down the perfect amount to make it fit the CoD memo.

Had not really played since bo2 as played ghost for about an hour and wasn't that good, I like the boosters and wall running, adds more to a 3D element, also I run and gun so the campers are way lower than saw the original black ops, pretty fun so far

I think that black ops 2 was superior in regards to sniping. They had a fairly good mix of maps some it was difficult to camp and snipe, others it was a decent tactic, however there were few (none?) places where you could just camp infinitely because everything was exposed in some form or fashion to players who knew what they were doing.

I enjoy BlackOp3 immensely, however, the sniper rifle is utterly useless for the most part. Much more effective putting a scope on an assault rifle, the maps are small enough that most high traffic areas don't stress the range of the assault rifles, and it gives you the ability to get in the mix when needed.

Although for me nothing beats a good SMG.

I'm sorry, but anyone with a decent pair of thumbs can destroy with the sniper in black ops 2. Its perfectly usable in black ops 3, they just balanced it better this time. It was way too easy to go off with the sniper in bo2.

I rambled a bit but I think my point was that the maps in Bo2 were more sniper friendly than any of th Bo3 maps. The map with the crashed airplane and the one with the castle were super fun with the sniper rifle, there isn't a single map I enjoy sniping in Bo3.

I dont have the patience to snipe every round but I don't even want to on occasion in 3 due to the bad maps.

If anyone has been on the fence about buying this, you might be able to get Best Buy to price match this ad.

http://www.brandsmartusa.com/codblackops3

I was able to get a rep to do it by calling the best buy price match number, and picked it up last night for $29. Technically it isn't a local vendor, but brandsmart USA is one of the vendors they will price match.

Anyone else think the aiming in this game feels weird? Idk if this is normal for Xbox One games, but it just doesn't feel near as tight as all the other cods. Like aim assist is really jacked up. It'll track people through walls and not work sometimes and work too much other times. This game would be amazing for me if the aiming didn't feel so off.

And it's not just me, because I can hop on any of the other cods and go 25-2 or something pretty easily.

It definitely happens but they have slowly been fixing all the less than perfect aspects of this game through updates since the release. Also it doesn't happen frequently enough to call it a major problem but I notice sometimes if someone jumps from behind a barrier then strafes back my aim will be thrown to the point they jumped and that is very frustrating. Also you can turn this feature off.

If anyone still plays you can add me GT: matt ag98, have a crappy KD and mainly play for the objective(which given all the camo unlocks etc seems like everyone just is doing trick-shots, running 10 attachments etc to get unlocks and not playing the objective) but still a fun game

I'll add y'all when I get on tonight. Usually stick to TDM in the evenings with the same group of 3-6 people but anyone is welcome to join, it is fun to just roll.

Just picked up a used copy of this for cheap. Jumping from Halo to COD is TOUGH.
