The official CoD: BO3 reveil trailer came out just an hour ago, and YouTube can't even handle the amount of views it's receiving. It's a two minute video that answers some of our questions, but still keeps you biting your fingernails about what the game is going to be like. Let's get into it!
The description says: "Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 is a dark, gritty future where a new breed of
Black Ops soldier emerges and the lines are blurred between our own
humanity and the cutting-edge military robotics that define the future
of combat."
This is very interesting. The answer to the question posed in the actual video remains mostly hidden: what actually happens when the soldier becomes the weapon? I think it's going to be really cool, maybe they're trying to implement the Titanfall mechanics with an interesting twist to it? I really don't know, but the four-legged machine in the video looked quite cool.
Now I can imagine that thing being really strong, but an army that only has tanks won't really be that succesful. You also need footsoldiers, and those were included in the fun too.
Sorry for the fullscreen message it gave me, it keeps on showing up and I don't know how to get rid of it.
Another really interesting question the narrator asked in the video was how much we could push technology before it starts to push back. Maybe the enemies in the campaign are going to be robots? I don't know, but these soldiers look like they're armed enough to destroy an army of robots if you'd ask me.
I mean seriously, you can create something with enormous power pretty easily but if you can't control it it'll become your death. Military forces of all around the world are known for using the most powerful weapons they can acquire, and that could lead to unnecessary death (see the Syria war: villages are being bombarded because there's a couple of enemies in there, at the cost of all inhabitants that are at the wrong place at the wrong time).
Something else that really looks like it's going to be awesome is controlling a war drone. I absolutely love everything that has something to do with drones, so this is going to be awesome.
And another little something I noticed is that a soldier is dual wielding what looks like two RPGs, but it could also be something else (I don't know, honestly).
I wasn't able to get the most detailed of pictures, but it'll do for now. I think it's two RPGs, but you never know with modern-day games.
It looks like Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 is going to be awesome and I honestly can't even wait for the 6th of November.
Well, once this game rolls out it'll distract me long enough to make the rest of the wait for Star Wars 7: The Force Awakens a bit less painful.
If you want more of my opinion on Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 so far, check out my post on the "Ember" tease and the hidden coördinates in the first teaser.
You might already know about it: a Black Ops III teaser has been launched on the official Call of Duty channel! It contains some hidden coördinates leading to two different locations on Earth, so let's get right into them.
6th October Bridge: Caïro, Egypt (30.05°N, 31,2333°E)
This was the location reveiled by the first set of coördinates that was found (by Th3-Chronikk) so far. If you look at the bottom/right corner, you'll see a set of coördinates that is actually really easy to spot. The guys at the Se7enSins forums have already done the looking up for you and have found, using Google Maps, that these coördinates lead to the 6th October Bridge in Caïro.
This bridge is also known as the "spinal cord" of Caïro, as around about half a million people use it on a daily basis. It connects East- and West-Caïro.
There's loads of possibilities when it comes to how they're going to put this area into the game: will they make it a war between East and West, or will it stay on one side? Will the warzone be on one side of the bridge? There's only one thing that's for sure: they didn't pick these coördinates randomly.
Schanzengasse 14, 8001 Zürich, Switzerland
This is a very CoD-like environment: some awesome hiding spots, yet also some streets where you are out in the open.
I think that in the evening or by night, this area would look awesome to be included in Call of Duty. Beware: this area would also be good for campers.
Now the coördinates for this one. They were, again, found by Th3-Chronikk. These coördinates are a little bit harder to spot, but if you look very closely at the middle of the right-hand side of the picture, you'll see that these coördinates are in a clear font while all the text around it was blurred.
