It's robots this time. Lots of robots. If the Call of Duty: Black Ops II was already a look into the high tech future of drone warfare, Call of Duty: Black Ops III looks even further as more robotics technology has matured enough to be harnessed and be put into the frontlines.  In case you are looking forward to more of COD: Advanced Warfare tech, there are jetpacks and even more awesome armour and human modifications in use that was revealed by the Call of Duty: Black Ops III Gameplay Reveal Trailer.

But before I go further into the Gameplay reveal, it's best for you to watch the Official Call of Duty: Black Ops III "Ember" Tease that was released last 23 April 2015 that should set things for you to understand better on what Black Ops III is all about. It’s about the leaps in scientific research that are leading to the development of "Super Humans". These are modified humans which have more heightened senses and more modified artificial attachments that give them special abilities. Some of the technologies shown in the trailer are already much available now and others are now in the drawing board. But what is revealed in the trailer is about "super soldiers" which the U.S. government denies in the trailer. But with all  these artificial enhancements of humans and the advancements in robotics, the debate on the ethical and moral dimensions are dividing people around the world leading to riots and violent upheavals.

Call of Duty: Black Ops III is set 50 years into the future with highly modified soldiers that have special abilities built into their modifications. As always, it will have a single player campaign, a multiplayer mode and as always done by Treyarch, the Zombie mode for those who want to test their mettle against the living dead.

Ok. Now what else is new apart from Black Ops III being as futuristic as Advanced Warfare? Well, there are some changes, as you can have a coop-campaign of up to 4 players which means that it will be a new experience in playing apar from the Single Player and Multiplayer mode. Apart from that, it will also have a "Cinematic" and "Arena-Like" level design. Treyarch's design will allow players to have a different strategy whenever they play the game.

There is also "Character Progression" in which the player can fully customise the loadout in Single, Coop and Multiplayer. Whereas before this was doable in the Multiplayer campaign, now it's a welcome thing to have this loadout customisation in Single Player, Zombie, and the new Coop.

Another is the "Momentum Based, Chain-Based" movement system in which the players can move fluidly from one map to another whilst maintaining complete control over their weapons. With the new powers called DNI or "Direct Neutral Interface" they can connect to the intelligence grid or with other players for them to fight smarter and better.

As seen in the Gameplay Reveal Trailer, there is a multiplayer Beta that will allow those who pre-order to access this. This will also help the developers improve or make tweaks dependent on the feedback from those participating in the Beta test.

Call of Duty: Black Ops III will be released on the 6th of November 2015. If you haven't noticed that, it's a Friday release for the game instead of the traditional Tuesday release.
