Speaking of Black Ops 3, the game is so good that it even managed to land a spot in our latest feature on why you should be playing 2016’s shooters in 2017. Are you still playing Black Ops 3 or have you moved on to the newer franchise entries?

As I did dig this COD title and did not move on from it when Infinite Warfare released, I am still very upset that new weapons were locked into the loot crates and still have yet to get more than one. As a season pass holder from day one that is unacceptable. Honestly, I’d rather play Halo 5 or TitanFall 2. Great games with great developers with fair based DLC purchasing behind them.

Yeah, I hear ya. I just got back to it recently and I left because of the weapons thing as well. It’s still loads better than any COD though, so no choice until Treyarch releases their 2018 COD.
