Call of Duty: Black Ops III announced

[Leo]

Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 is the first title for next-gen hardware in the critically acclaimed Black Ops series. Developed by Treyarch, the award-winning creator of the two most played games in Call of Duty history. Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 deploys players into a dark, twisted future where a new breed of Black Ops soldiers emerges and the lines are blurred between our own humanity and the technology we created to stay ahead, in a world where cutting-edge military robotics define warfare. With three unique game modes: Campaign, Multiplayer, and Zombies, it providing fans with the deepest and most ambitious Call of Duty ever.

Looks good, better than AW and actually seems like it could have a good story. I like the tech (in game cybernetic stuff) better.

No dates on the beta, but you have to pre-order to get access.

@toku you jumping in on this? Wait that is a stupid question.

People are saying it’s biting Deus Ex a little too close for comfort. I tend to agree.
