Black Ops 3 Play and Help Thread

Snake Plisken

So hopefully the Call Of Duty forum will be pretty active for this years release. So please post your load outs. Best weapons, attachments perks etc please post in this thread and help your fellow COD players out!

Best and most consistent weapon for me so far is the vmp with grip, quickdraw and long barrel, may be bordering on being overpowered. Man o war is my favourite assault rifle, slow fire rate but does a lot of damage. I'm using grip, reflex and quickdraw on it. I have tac mask on every class, hard to play without it now with the stun spam.

Thanks for the tips what did you keep when you prestiged?

I haven't played COD since Black Ops 2, but decided to pick this up. I'm really struggling to get to grips with this game. My KDR currently stands at 0.8. I have the odd game where I get totally ruined and feel like I'm shooting chocolate bullets.I seem to lose most 50/50 gunfight even though I'm using quickdraw and fast hands on every class.

Any general tips and tricks other than load outs? I've tried to adjust the sensitivity of the sticks, and be really careful with my movement around the map (playing defensively, without necessarily camping) but I don't seem to be sharp enough.

I kept ghost because of the uav spam, game is only out so nearly every player has it on by default still, hopefully won't be as necessary once people rank up

Head glitching seems to be big in this game, maybe try slowing down and moving from cover to cover around the map, every map has loads of obstacles perfect for setting up behind.
Also try aiming down sights as you turn a corner, this seems to be helping me get first bullets off if I run into a guy just around a corner.
Could try the awareness perk out too, nobody has dead silence unlocked yet so it's easy to sound whore if you have a headset.

I have had to slow down a bit as I was rushing everywhere and was getting destroyed. Calmed it down a bit and the k/d is climbing back up again. As simply red says try ADS before going around the corners.

I have a launcher on every class except the LMG one. Easy points shooting down UAVs/RAPS ships. I like that you can shoot down the HATR (Vsat) as well (150 points).

I also did a class with cold blooded because those RAPS were everywhere last night.

Weapons wise I have been using VMP and HVK-30 and also the Gorgon LMG.

I have found the pistols to be good like blops2. Even played a game or two of Dom pistol only to try them out. Used to love doing that in Blops2.

Sub machine gun VMP is class, like the MP7 from MW3. Add suppressor and rapid fire. I get at least 25 kills a match. Use fast hands and blind eye and anty up perks.

Also there is a game of Uplink going on that has glitched completly. The game cant end and i was it yesterday. I got in by chance. Ended up with like 325 kills for 120 deaths. I had to leave though as the game wount end.

Is this normal glitch or some1 hacking already??

Potential-Monke

I haven't tried many game modes yet, but I seem to get about 2 cryptokeys after every game of HC CTF.

Getting my ass kicked almost every game, and I'm not that bad a player. Not sure if it's the matchmaking or what but I have never had issues like this on a call of duty game. Finding it hard to win 50 50 encounters, and I'm not new to call of duty.

never mind! Complete!

If it is a viable option, get yourself a scuf or cinch controller. They really help with this game, in terms of jump shots, getting out of trouble and just out maneuvering players. Make sure to nade or stun common head glitch stops and as there is no toughness perk you will generally be able to rid players from these spots, if they are really bothering you.

This cod feels like an old cod to me which is great, as it relies more on gun skill. One of the best tips, in my opinion, would be to start firing off the hip a lot more. I see a lot of people trying to aim down the sights at close range instead of just shooting first and aiming while in the process of shooting. It is something the Pro's do all the time and just seems to help me all the time. It may be brutally obvious to most, but if you are a beginner then it may help you.

I am loving the pharo as my main sub at the moment. Just prestiged the 2nd time and it was a tough choice between that and ghost as my perma unlock.

The first shotgun is pretty good too. Using it a lot on breach/evac and aquarium

Stone Deaf 4evr

Its amazing the difference a stealth build makes in this game, blast supressor and a silencer with awareness / 6th sense give you a huge advantage IMO.

v3ttel

I've played this a lot more and finally starting to have more success.

The BRM is excellent, I'm winning a lot more gun fights with it and have had a lot more success at long range (which I typically suck at). I'm just holding out for rapid fire and quick mags with it to make it even more effective.

iLikeWaffles

Brecci with silencer long barrel and extended mags = win. Range is pretty good 3 bullet kill!

Dead Ops 2 is available to play after you complete mission 2 in the campaign. Enter the safe house from campaign menu and go to the data vault terminal when your in the terminal go to the top right and press the highlighted S looking symbol above emblems to play. The very same symbol when you hover over it will access cheat mode do this by pressing L1 + R1 + L2 + R2 X+Y/Square+Triangle at the same time it will bring up a letters window that you can enter codes into. Known codes are DREAMLAND: This will give you access to Nightmares mode which is a Zombies campaign mode. MANIFEST: will give you fabrications kits it can only be used once. You will be given a random number of Fabrication Kits. The code also cannot be reversed.

These codes do not disable trophies from being earned. Enjoy.

What are peoples thoughts on the Specialists? What do people like best?

Using nomad and HIVE atm as its the highest I've unlocked and its prob my favorite so far

iLikeWaffles

All the specialist a very usable except for the electric gun one. I try to stick to a few. At a low level I use Gravity Spikes until I unlock the Ripper its the fastest specialist to earn and can get you quads if you manage to flank around. When the Flamethrower is unlocked I use that beast for clearing out rooms. Started using the sparrow its incredible how much the hit box around players is increased using that. If I'm using a shotgun class on combine I'll throw on overdrive and flank constantly its actually crazy how much the other team will fail to watch the flanks on that map plus if the other team is anyway decent they will not push as much because of the constant getting killed from behind. Active camo doesn't last long. Trolllmachine say no more. Hive is great for defending in demo but you have to camp to get kills with it if the pods aren't destroyed first that is. Seeing a proper camper use when I have engineer on gives me great joy one or two emp's in the room where he's at destroys the five pod's his two shock charges and two trip mines sentry gun and guardian then I get a bonus 50 emp assist when my teammate kills him.

heroics

Tried a good few of the specialists.

Lethals: At lower levels I use the Gravity spikes. As I level up I use Scythe a lot. Ripper is a bit of craic. People seem to get annoyed when they die by it.

Non lethal I use Vision Pulse or kinetic Armour.

Trying to complete all the challenges for ruin at the moment and overdrive ones are driving me nuts.

I find that you just fall like a sack of sand if you run at enemies when overdrive is active best to flank them or kill from the side. Its great for rushing to bomb sites if you know its clear. Kinetic armour is useless when they head shot you.

Simply Red

Going through the specialists challenges now myself to try unlock the hero armour, was having a lot of trouble with the glitch challenge until i found a great tip on reddit. Earn glitch and hold onto it during a game of dom, wait for the other team to go to take a flag, throw a grenade onto the flag and use glitch about a second before the grenade goes off. If you're lucky and it gets a double kill or more it'll count. Had the challenge done in about 4 games, might help someone else if theyre too finding it hard

Nah I did it old school wait until the very last second rejack jump straight up in the air shoot any f@cker near me! Actually had more trouble with the hive 2 rapid kills got it finally by spamming them around spawn points and camping a distance away it took me a couple of nights to get it!

heroics

Just rage quit 4th game in a row. Keep getting dumped into games with the team getting hammered and the guys on my team playing with their feet or something. Other team streaks for days.

heroics

Just joined a new game. Great then realise not one other person on the team has even gotten to level 30 yet forget prestiged. Other team only one of them lower than 2nd prestige. Surprisingly we lost. Going to play gun game only option or I'll put my fist through screen.


Breath!!! Rant over

iLikeWaffles

Lucky there's loss stat prevention! Joined TDM the other night and it just started score was 10-06 team lost but it didn't count as a loss because I joined the game after it started. If your joining games especially for dom always look at the scoreboard before you pick a class (just back out of choose class screen and spectate a team mate) if you decide you don't like the way your team is getting melted and the top player on opposite team is going 43-6 you can back out without picking up a loss also. But if you pick a class and spawn in then leave it will count as a loss.

I checked into it and found the following (see pic)

Has anyone an idiot proof guide to fixing this please?

Don't believe a word of what bo3 says your nat is its all lies. If its open on your xbox its open on the game its just text on the screen! Mine switched from open to moderate then to strict.

What you could try and this worked for me hold xbox power button for 10 secs wait untill it powers down unplug it from the back then unplug your router from the back wait 1 min plug in router wait for that to power on and all the flashy lights to become solid. Then plug xbox back in and power on. What that will do is clear the cache on you xbox then clear the cache on your router. Your wired right?

Black Ops 3 requires extra ports open compared to standard xbox live. Thats why you get the moderate status on screen.

They should rename this game to Call of Combine: Kuda Ops. I only play HC Domination, and its always Combine (or Fringe, which I prefer), and everyone is using the Kuda.

Kind of happy with that at moment as trying to get weevil and rk5 gold so the small map suits.

Haven't played metro in about 2 weeks.

They've confirmed that they'll be removing the ability to vote the same map over and over in the next patch, and with the dlc dropping the week after next, it'll probably be included in that patch

Decided to try sniping last night. Only have about 30 kills with the different ones. I prestiged so used the drakon. Didn't realise it was one shot kills to unlock the camos. on the snipers presumed it was headshots. nearly got it gold already. must be the only class that I have gotten the extra camos unlocked without having 5 attachments unlocked.

Are all the snipers 1 shot kils for the medals or are they like the shotguns where some are 1 shot and some are headshots?
