Hello everyone! And welcome to the BO3 Ultimate information thread, all that we have pre-release to the game and things you should know! I will be updating this towards the release in a few days and any new leaks that have come out. Only thing I will not post here is any leaks for the PS3 however I will state if they have been released and let you find them. This thread consists of released information from: Treyarch, Activision, Microsoft, Sony, Monster Energy and others. Also, information sources will be referenced and links put at the bottom. I will also not be including any BETA information as this has now passed. Please Note this is brief information about the whole game and not specific details on small aspects
Release Date Information
This is all pretty straight forward, the game launches internationally on the 6[sup]th[/sup] of November this year [2015] on current-gen platforms (Xbox One, PS4, PC) and old-gen platforms (Xbox 360, PS3) there is no edition being released for the Wii or Wii U. Game differences to occur over generations and this information is to follow below.
Game Size Information & System Requirements
We have information on the games size for various platforms, including the Xbox One, PS4, PC and PS3. We can assume the PS3 size will reflect the Xbox 360 game size. Here is a list of the game sizes per platform.
[table=width: 200, class: outer_border, align: center]
[tr]
[td]Xbox One: [b]44.9GB[/b][/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]PS4: [b]55GB[/b][/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]PC: [b]60GB[/b][/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Xbox 360/PS3: [b]17.8GB[/b][/td]
[/tr]
[/table]
Some notes for these sizes are that of course the old-gen edition of the game is ported down and has parts removed and I will have information to follow on this. the Xbox One size is accurate as the game can be pre-loaded on this console, showing the full size. The PS4 edition is a large increase of what you would think it would be, matching Xbox. However this may be because the information on this is from the back of a PS4 Hardened Edition box, which includes the bonus zombies map "The Giant" however 10GB is still a lot. For PC, Steam recently updates their BO3 Listing to reveal that a minimum of 60GB of space will be required to install the game. And as for PS3, this information was taken from the PSN Store on console which states the size for the game.
In terms of PC system requirements, Treyarch released the minimum earlier in the year, the recommended are estimated and they are as follows.
Minimum Requirements / Recommended Requirements
Multiplayer Information
Maps
The game will feature 13 multiplayer maps on release including "NUK3TOWN" as a pre-order bonus map. Of course BETA players have experienced a small selection of these maps. But recently, thanks to users who have received copies of the game early, we now know the full names of these maps and they are as follows.
[table=width: 200, class: outer_border, align: center]

NUK3TOWN & Redwood
2 maps which we have not played but have information on how "NUK3TOWN" and "Redwood". The latter being revealed in a #BO3Fridays session and our beloved 1v1 map remake being showcased briefly in this GameStop advertisement (Warning, cheesy). What we can get from the video is that the maps layout remains the same as far as we can see, although there are some odd floating platforms above the centre of the map.

Gamemodes
The game will launch with 11 "core" gamemodes at launch, which implies there will be additions as time goes on however this is speculation. This list includes the popular classics as well as some relatively new modes. The current confirmed gamemodes are as follows.
[table=width: 200, class: outer_border, align: center]
[tr]
[td]Uplink
Safe Guard
Team Deathmatch
Search & Destroy
Domination
Hardpoint
Demolition
Mercenary
Moshpit
Capture the Flag[/td]
[/tr]
[/table]
The game will also feature "Gun Game", a popular mode originating from BO1 and "Custom Games" (Private Match) for players to play and create new modes with friends privately. Another featured gamemode which was showcased in the second BO3Friday session was "Free Run" which is a solo experience, time trial gamemode that is level based which is built to improve peoples abilities with the new movement system. Here is a video of this gamemode and a brief summary.
Movement System
Those who have played the BETA will understand the new movement system. However for those who don't, instead of writing it all out, I found a brilliant video [below] which will be great at explaining it. I would just like to add, the new maps have various routes you can take to maximise the new system to your advantage with flanking, wall running and so on.
Arsenal List
In brief, the game has a decent selection of weapons however weapon values are subject to change since the BETA experience. Below is a list of all the weapons, showing pictures will simply be too much for the thread however if you wish to view the pictures as well as weapon values you can do so You must login or register to view this content.. The lists order is: Primary Weapons, Secondary Weapons and then Equipment. Please note, this is not the full confirmed list.
Gunsmith & Pick 10 System
OK so again I will link a video explaining what "Gunsmith" is as I am sure many would rather watch a video and demonstration than read it all. However in brief, gunsmith lets you take any gun and at 1 Optic (sight) and 5 other attachments, these will all have a visual impact on the gun and it lets you mess around with a weapon. Once you have created a weapon you can then name it and use it in MP. However if you do not have certain items unlocked you have put on the gun you can't use it.
Whatever you put on the gun reflects on the Pick 10 System, the system very similar to BO2 and other titles which lets you customize your loadout with 10 items. So if you max out in gunsmith, this will use 7 tokens within pick 10, 1 being the gun and 6 being the attachments & optic. So its up to the player to decide what they want.
Paint Shop
Paint shop is basically an emblem editor for your weapons, allowing the use of 32 layers per section (3) of the gun. This feature allows you to edit parts of the left and right side and the top/back of the gun. This is not the only camo options to apply to a weapon, normal camos will be in the game and this is confirmed however we do not know the camo list apart from some promotional camos which will be later in the thread. And these camos along with the custom areas can me mixed together. Here is a short video and example of Paint Shop.

Okay I'm not trying to start a argument you have your perspective, I have mine. But I thought BO2 was one of the best cods along with BO1.
Edit: Call of Duty: Black Ops II (Xbox 360 / PS3 / Wii U / PC) is the latest instalment of the biggest gaming franchise. Its predecessor, Call of Duty: Black Ops, sold more than 23m copies

Guys, if you think about it.. Black ops 1 was WAW2 I mean the zombie storyline goes up from the one on world at war, and in campaign and stuff. If they were going to make a WAW2 it would literally just be WaW with updated graphics. They did alot in waw WWII related.
