Black Ops 3's story is set in the same world as Black Ops 2, just 40 years later. Fans of the series can expect some references to or guest appearances from characters from the previous game, although last generation gamers will be disappointed that Black Ops 3 will not have campaign mode on previous generation consoles.
Gamers believe that the franchise's worth is based almost entirely around it is thriving multiplayer scene. Its emphasis is dependent upon a deep narrative and an understanding of realism. The primary connection that Black Ops 3 has with Black Ops 2 is the drone strike incident that occurred in 2025. This incident resulted in the Winslow Accord, which led to the usage of DEAD systems.
