While much of the game is still "classified," Lamia was quick to tease the game's core features during a day-long reveal meeting at its Santa Monica studio. There are more tricks up Treyarch's sleeve for its sixth Call of Duty title. Thank God for Blu-ray, right?" Campaign Director and Senior Executive Producer Jason Blundell jokes, adding the game's protagonist is fully voiced regardless of gender. "We knew we were going to do fully unique male, fully unique female for all scenes and all the customization that goes for both. Character interaction will even differ based on the protagonist's gender. It's a different set of animations for the entire game," Lamia says. "It's not just a female head on a male body. In addition to upgrading abilities, changing your character's appearance and tweaking weapons, players can pick the gender of their Call of Duty hero. What is known is the campaign will continue the story of Black Ops 2, in a near-future war where soldiers have begun to augment their bodies to become more lethal killing machines.įor the first time in the franchise's history, the campaign's protagonist is fully customizable. "Narratively? It's just mind fuckery," Lamia laughs, saying he wants to keep a shroud of mystery around the story in Black Ops 3. He hopes that upgradeable abilities and the opportunity to play campaign missions with friends will lead to more replayability in the game's narrative-driven mode. Your investment in your character is going to mean something more than it ever has before in any Call of Duty game," Studio Head Mark Lamia says. "This Call of Duty campaign is all about choice. The addition of up to three campaign players meant building bigger combat arenas, better AI and adding social features for showing off medals and achievements. The entire campaign will be playable co-operatively by up to four players online (or two players locally). Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 (set to arrive November 6th on PC, Xbox One and PS4) brings campaign co-op back to the franchise. For its next installment, Treyarch is, once again, trying something new. With World at War it added zombies Black Ops went to Vietnam Black Ops 2 traversed time and added branching narratives. The company started working on the franchise back in 2005.


Developer Treyarch has a good record of keeping things fresh in Call of Duty.
