The hype is real! The Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 release is just a couple of weeks away and as the glorious day approaches, Activision, game publisher, and Treyarch, game developer, decided to send chills down the spines of many and make them shiver while shouting, "There! There it is! The trailer to the most electrifying Call of Duty title to ever grace God's green earth."
All kidding aside, the recently released trailer for Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 is, without a shadow of a doubt, awesome. The 58-second clip showcased three game modes — campaign, Zombies and multiplayer — while playing the Rolling Stones' "Paint it Black," which made the hype video ooze with machismo.
As previously reported, Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 will have unlocked campaign levels that will let players choose whatever campaign scenarios they want to play first. Moreover, among Call of Duty titles, Black Ops 3's campaign mode will be the first to offer support for four-player co-op, which means four split screens.
Furthermore, the campaign was pimped with celebrities — from TV to sports. The list includes Christopher Peter Meloni, who portrays the fictional character of Det. Elliot Stabler as part of NBC's "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit". For the game, Meloni will step into the shoes of John Taylor. Marshawn Lynch, a running back for the Seattle Seahawks, was also contracted and will play as a mercenary under John Taylor.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 will also offer a single-player mode called "Free Run," which employs gamers to complete specially designed courses in the fastest possible time. To promote competition, the best times for each course will be posted for everyone to see.
The other co-op mode is Zombies in which Jeff Goldblum, Heather Graham, Neil McDonough and Ron Perlman will be sending the foul beasts back to the abyss — yes, an LOTR reference. Robert Picardo playing the "Shadow Man" must also be noted.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 will be launched on Nov. 6 for the PC, PS4 and Xbox One. The trailer below should help remember the date.
