New Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 screens show off single and MP combat

Last week’s Gamescom show provided a couple of new Black Ops 3 screens to tide you over till November’s release.

Looking pretty sharp is both the single and multiplayer in the latest Call of Duty title- Black Ops 3. A return to the shadowy world created in the first two games, Black Ops 3 heads further into the future, to a world where technology is more deeply intertwined than ever into human life. And, since we’re talking about humans here, that means it’s all mixed up in the ways of war as well.

Very nearly sci-fi, but still with a basis in real-world tech trends, Black Ops 3 is looking like it takes the themes touched on in Black Ops 2 and the unrelated Advanced Warfare to the extreme. As a science fiction fan, and someone who was loosing interest in the standard military themes that most FPS’ were pushing a few years back, I couldn’t be happier with the feel that Black Ops 3 has going on.

Of course, if it actually presents something new and interesting, and whether all this actually works or not in the game is something that we’ll have to wait till November 6th to find out. That’s when that game arrives on the Xbox One, 360, PS4, PS3, and PC.
