At night some sites have posted their initial impressions of the countryside of Call of Duty: Black Ops III , revealing some interesting information obtained from the chats with the developers. We thus discover that the game's campaign will be the longest in the series date: contains 20 different missions for a total of 14-15 hours of gameplay, we assume a normal difficulty. For lovers of extreme challenges will also feature a "realistic" difficulty, in which just a single hit to die.

We also discover how you structured the entire campaign: instead of the classic series of levels seen so far, the game is based on a safehouse/base of operations, in which we can customize and equip our soldier and then choose which mission to carry out. And missions are unlocked from the beginning: to better understand the story it will be good to do them in the right order and to see the final we will have completed all but nothing will prevent us from selecting the last mission and run it first.

Developers have opted for this property because the campaign of Call of Duty: Black Ops III began as a true cooperative experience and not as a single-player game in which you added the co-op; they wanted to give the players freedom to choose which mission play with friends without being limited by where they were in the history. Even the structure of the maps has changed dramatically from the past: all are now much more open and allow you to tackle every goal from multiple angles, allowing players to build their own strategies rather than being forced from the game to act in a certain way. Definitely a change of radical approach than the more linear and scripted tradition of the series, showing once again how Treyarch is not afraid to experiment and innovate.

Developers also claim that campaign and competitive multiplayer have been developed to allow the player to go "smoothly" from one to the other: rather than seem like separate games, are all part of a unique ecosystem in the middle of which there is our soldier. This will in fact always behind the features and upgrades obtained in one or the other mode, while the missions of the campaign will have many elements from the multiplayer segment.

Treyarch explains that, although many say that the multiplayer is the only playing mode in CoD titles, in fact it is a "minority", because the statistics of previous titles shows that players use in a balanced way all modes. For this we wanted to examine them all Similarly, putting many elements in common.

In short, it seems that, at least in the developers ' intentions, Call of Duty: Black Ops III will be the comeback of a dense and exciting campaign.

We leave you with a set of new screenshots of the game, which we would like to remind you is expected on 6 November.
