Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 is out now! Activision has released the most hotly anticipated game title of the year this November. And what a launch its been for the latest addition to the Call of Duty series.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 has Three Special Editions

Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 has three special editions. They include the Digital Deluxe Edition, Juggernog Edition and Hardened Edition. The Hardened Edition has a steel case and includes limited edition concept art cards. Furthermore, it also has additional multiplayer maps. The Juggernog Edition gives you all the things available in the others.

The Digital Deluxe Edition has a Season Pass

A comic book tie-in for Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 has also been released. Dark Horse Comics published the first issue of the comic that tells the story of an elite group of soldiers locked in a secret war. In the first issue they are assigned to eliminate a double agent. The comic will have six issues in its miniseries.

Four-play co-op Gameplay Returns to Call of Duty: Black Ops 3

Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 also has restored four player co-op play for is single player campaign mode. That means you can play the campaign mode not just with the AI, but with up to four alternative players as in earlier additions to the series. The game even has support for two-player split screen. That could mean that Black Ops 3 has wider level designs that are less linear that in previous Call of Duty titles.

Activision has also added a new momentum-based movement system to Call of Duty: Black Ops 3. That gives players thruster packs for boosts into the air. Players can also pull off slides and wall runs whilst maintaining their fire. The video below demonstrates the new movement system.
