Call of Duty: Black Ops III is official, and will be fully revealed on 26th April. It looks like Activision has been working with YouTube user Drift0r, as after "organically" discovering the SnapChat links in Call of Duty: Black Ops II, he's now uploaded an official teaser video from Treyarch with the hashtag 'Back in Black' attached. Good song.
The video doesn't really give a whole lot away, but does include various snippets of dialogue from the previous games. There's mention of Mason, for example, and questions pertaining to those all-important number stations. To be honest, we're a little bit behind on the fictional details pertaining to this sub-trilogy, but we're very eager to see what Treyarch's been up to.
Indeed, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare was a real return to form for the series, so let's hope that this outing continues along that path.

It seems so darn soon, doesn't it?
@get2sammyb
Replace "soon" with "timely" and you're spot on!
@get2sammyb Would you expect less from the COD cow?
It'll be interesting to see how it'll follow up Advanced Warfare. Going back to wheel spinning would be awful.
i dont know what to think about this. I love advanced warfare and i'm used to it now. It will suck if they go back to the way it was before.
I really wanted it to be World at War 2 :/ but as long as Zombies isn't the pay to play bull crap they pulled with Advanced Warfare I'm on board!
@get2sammyb Hasn't it been 2 years, that been the COD cycle for sometime now so I'm not surprised though thought we might get MW4 first.
Its pretty late in the year to be announcing a new Call of Duty.
Maybe they've put alot of time and effort making this one balanced and fu…HAHAHAHA. I kid.
But seriously, great for those who like the exact same game yearly, albeit this time Marathon will be called Extreme Conditioning this time…
Well Black Ops 2 really was great. Haven't played AW but hear very good things.
I'm confident Treyarch will put out a good installment.
@jmburks Isnt that the whole reason a game is fun?
Because it ISNT exactly the same year in, year out?
Take assassins creed for example, the combat was fun but ultimately got overused and boring, then unity changes the whole flow and it was fresh, fun and at times frustrating.
@BLPs That's quite the bottle there......
I really wanted a WW2 COD this year......ohh well, another year to skip the series.
Black Ops 2 had a really mediocre campaign though.
@Jazzer94 I seem to remember reading that Ghosts takes place in the same timeline as Modern Warfare...? Well regardless, we have "Advanced" Warfare now, so a return to "Modern" seems doubtful.
The first black ops was a gem, the second one..wasnt..just make it play and feel like black ops 1 please. Thank you.
Interesting teaser..black ops 3 and possibly hinting at black ops 1, 2 being bundled in
@Jazzer94 I just mean after Advanced Warfare, really. Literally just came out!
I'm honestly thinking about skipping this and every annualized game franchise from this point on. I prestiged once on Advanced Warfare and haven't hardly touched it since. That and between three consoles, plus being a musician and constantly wanting gear, and the time I'm spending in college trying to finish my degree, I can't buy every new game that comes out and looks good to me anymore. I have to really pick and choose. If it actually hits the 2015 mark, the only FPS with competitive multiplayer I'll likely be buying this year will be Battlefront.
Doom (2015) >>>>>>>>>>>> COD: Black Ops 3
@get2sammyb Had a little gander at this: List of released COD games and it seems COD entries have been coming yearly since the first so this isn't actually strange at all (talking about the big releases not mobile or expansion).
@BLPs that should be full fat/cream milk.
I was playing Call of Duty: Finest Hour on Ps2 last night. Was Interesting going back to where it all began on consoles after all this time & the wealth of annualised releases.
WW2 or no buy. I'm tired of this futuristic warfare. It's lame and has been old. Everyone's doing it.
@Jazzer94 No it's not out of the ordinary. All I mean is that it feels like they're announcing this one really early. Perhaps it's just me, but I feel like Advanced Warfare literally JUST came out.
@get2sammyb Ah okay I see what you mean now (I was taking what you said too literally I do that sometimes ), anyway yeah it seems they announce the new COD game at start of May normally so they are actually announcing this one a bit earlier which might be why it feels soon to you.
It could also be the late addition of Zombies to the game as well.
As long as there ain't exo skeletons this will be a good one from treyarch! They never fail to deliver so I'm really looking forward to it
Great...

@get2sammyb It is actually 'early' for a CoD announcement as they are not usually traditionally announced until the beginning of May. This is Treyarchs first 3yr developed game so that could have an impact on the timing of the announcement. Unlike Sledgehammer (the only other 3 year developed CoD so far), Treyarch are used to taking a year out of the spotlight but not 2 years. I also expect they had at least some concept and maybe even started some parts of the development on this game before 2 was released as game development is staggered. For them its been a very long time. If you are used to working to tighter deadlines and suddenly get longer ones, it seems like a lifetime. I went from being a Graphic Designer in the newspaper industry to working working on specialist publications - in terms of deadlines - instead of hours I had months but still maintained a similar pace.
From a personal point of view I am so glad they have gone the Black Ops route rather than return to W@W era. I think it allows the development team more creative freedom (don't have to follow historical accuracy) and I do think that going backwards in era would also take the gameplay backwards too. I do hope that some aspects - most notably the gore and horror of war, are in Black Ops 3. I think WW2 and real life conflicts are better suited to a sim style War game rather than an Arcade and ultimately fun shooter.
Ah, COD. This time every year the same people bang on about it being a cash cow and how "I'm done with the series!" yet the same time next year they're repeating themselves. And the year after that. And after that. Maybe if the amount of people who say they aren't buying COD actually didn't then maybe it wouldn't be yearly anymore.
Not a massive fan of it myself (bar Co-Op in MW2 and Survival in MW3) but I'm not a massive hater. It exists for people who like it. If you don't - or pretend you don't - why bother letting it get your knickers in a twist? There's worse things in life than COD. Like Katie Hopkins or Cheryl Cole.
Treyarch does the best survival mode out of the them all (Zombies) in my opinion, looking forwards to seeing what they done with the Zombies mode for BO3.
Care level: pretty darn low
