Throughout the beta, I tended to add as many gun attachments as possible by using the Primary Gunfighter wildcard. There are already definite load-out necessitiesīlack Ops 3 uses the now familiar “pick ten” system, allowing players to opt for any combination of 10 weapons, items and perks. Although very difficult to use, it’s clearly one of the most devastating specialist options in the game, helping to rack up many additional kills. This charge shot weapon fires an arc of electricity, lethally shocking targets and chaining to nearby enemies. The second Specialist I’d recommend for higher skilled and accurate players, especially those using an assault rifle, is Prophet’s Tempest. It’s perhaps going to prove a controversial option, but you won’t worry about that if you’re one kill away from unlocking the mothership. Those who prioritise scorestreaks are using Nomad’s Rejack ability, which provides a death-defying injection of nanoparticle serum: if an opponent manages to kill you, you can bring yourself back from the dead and continue your current streak. It’s already clear that Specialists will greatly effect how players perform, providing game-changing moments that can easily turn a match.Īfter experimenting with all of the available options, it looks like two have emerged as favourites for skilled players. Specialists may become critical for big scorestreaks It’s another subtle but successful addition, which truly comes into effect on Hunted where you’re able to use the water to escape enemies when you’re losing a gun battle, or as an alternate route into the main building to take control of the hardpoint. Playing Team Domination on the Evac map for example, you can run on the outside of the main building all the way to behind the C domination flag, which could help you pick up some extra kills for your side before taking the objective.Īnother new map feature is swimming – and with it, underwater combat. These could easily have been a pointless gimmick, but their implementation is smooth, and the controls are intuitive so that vertical running feels really natural within the flow of the game. It’s all about choosing the correct moment to flank, as well as using the wall run shortcuts that are built into all the maps. The consequence is that players have to continually decide whether to go left, straight or right, meaning there are a lot more head-to-head gunfights. This is in contrast to last year’s Advanced Warfare, which used a more freeform approach. The key lesson from the four Beta maps was that Black Ops 3 seems to have reverted to a traditional three-lane system, where each layout essentially has three main channels to run through.
The wall runs and water routes are worth mastering It’s incredibly accurate at range, and boasts one of the fastest time-to-kill rates in the game if you land all four shots on your opponent. The M8A7 is a four-burst assault rifle that will be familiar to Black Ops 2 players as it’s very similar to that game’s M8A1. I quickly paired it with the Quickdraw, Stock, Long Barrel and Fast Mags attachments. The Razorback is the perfect SMG, with very little recoil, a clean iron sight so you can easily see enemies while aiming, and a steady fire rate.
#CRITICAL OPS BETA TESTER PROFESSIONAL#
There are 18 Primary options in Black Ops 3 but I and many other professional players quickly settled on the Razorback submachine gun and the M8A7 assault rifle as our go-to choices. One of the most important elements of any Call of Duty beta is to find out which weapons are the most effective. Here’s what I learned as a professional Call of Duty player. Participants also got to test the new chained movement mechanics and eight of the specialist classes. But how does it all work in practise? Treyarch has just completed a PlayStation 4 beta test featuring four maps: Combine, Evac, Hunted and Stronghold.
