We've finally received details about the final DLC release for Call of Duty Black Ops 3. The final DLC is named Salvation and it will be coming to PlayStation 4 on September 6. The Xbox One release should hit shortly after the PlayStation 4 release.
The Salvation DLC will include four new maps for multiplayer, other new content and a huge finale for the Zombies storyline that started in previous Black Ops games. The new zombies content for the Salvation DLC will reportedly tie up a cliffhanger from Zombies in Black Ops 2 as well.
The four new maps also sound quite interesting. Below we have some excerpts about the maps from Activision.
Citadel - Once home to a powerful medieval army, this ancient castle now sits broken and abandoned. Tight corners force close-quarters engagements, while the moat and drawbridge allows for unique player movement opportunities in this mid-sized map. The last trespassers didn't make it out alive - maybe you'll have a better

The Eclipse DLC for Black Ops 3 that originally landed on PlayStation 4 a month ago has finally made it's way to the Xbox One and the PC. The new Eclipse DLC is the second of a series of content packs for Black Ops 3 and it includes a number of new features and maps for the game.
Whilst the content has already been available on the PlayStation 4 due to an exclusivity deal with Sony, this is the first time players on the Xbox One and the PC will have access to the content. In total, the new Black Ops 3 DLC pack includes four new multiplayer maps as well as a new Zombies campaign.
Out of the four maps, three of them have been created from the ground up whilst the fourth, Verge, has been based upon Bonzai, one of the most popular maps from Call of Duty: World at War.
Verge was previously described as a 're-imagination of the classic Call of Duty: World at War map, Banzai. Verge drops Multiplayer combat into the center of a distant post-apocalyptic future, where two warring

As it currently stands, it seems like players on the Xbox One are having trouble with some of the Black Ops 3 DLC that was released as pre-order bonuses to some players. Both the Nuketown map and the Giant Zombies DLC has been having issues and Microsoft has acknowledged that some players are having trouble with accessing their content.
"We understand some of you who purchased the Call of Duty: Black Ops III - Deluxe Edition are being prompted to repurchase a Season Pass for the game and can't access the NUK3TOWN and The Giant bonus maps. We want to assure you we're working to fix this as quickly as possible. Thanks for your patience! We'll update you as soon as we know more."
Players who pre-purchased the Black Ops 3 Deluxe Edition were supposed to receive downloads for both Nuketown and Giant Zombies but those that have purchased this version on the Xbox One have come across a bug that asks users to re-purchase the season pass to unlock the content.
It is very important

It's becoming an increasing trend for AAA titles to have less focus on the singleplayer aspects and more focus on the multiplayer. This is especially the case for many first person shooters over the last few years.
The first game to see a multiplayer only experience was Titanfall and since then we've now got Battlefront and it's now been revealed that Rainbow Six: Siege will also have no singleplayer campaign. This means that, besides the co-op mode Terrorist Hunt, everything in Rainbow Six: Siege will be on a player-versus-player basis, and almost everything will be done online either with or against other players.
There are a couple of exceptions to the above information. Rainbow Six: Siege will have a few training missions as well as a versus mode against AI for offline play, but these are the only offline options for players.
This information was revealed by Siege's art director Scott Mitchell, who said that players will, "Go through training, where you get to experience

Treyarch just keep spilling the beans on Black Ops 3, which is great because the game sounds like it’s going to be a lot different to previous games developed by them. Recently, Treyarch gave details on the Black Ops 3 Pick 10 system, ADS mechanics and more.
In Black Ops 2, the Pick 10 system was hugely praised by the COD community. Thankfully the Pick 10 system will be returning to Black Ops 3. Everything is mostly the same with the Pick 10 system, but there have been a few changes made to the way it works.
Firstly, the Wildcards will still be in Black Ops 3. Players can equip up to six different Wildcards but each Wildcard will take up a certain amount of points as per usual.
Interestingly, the entire attachment system will be different in Black Ops 3. Weapon optics are now placed in their own separate slot. If you use the right Wildcards you can equip up to five attachments onto a primary weapon, as well as an optic. Secondary weapons can have up to two attachments

Whilst a lot of information about Black Ops 3 has been released officially, there is still a lot that Treyarch are waiting to reveal. Luckily, some details have already leaked, including details about the different DLC packs that will be in Black Ops 3.
Black Ops 3 will have 4 different DLC packs, all of which will be part of the season pass. As usual, the season pass can be purchased up front and will cost considerably less than it would to purchase each of the DLC packs separately as they are released.
Unfortunately we do not have details about what content will be in the Black Ops 3 DLC packs, although it could be possible that not even Treyarch are 100% sure at this point. Considering the full game hasn't even gone gold yet, it would make sense that DLC plans are not completely confirmed at this point.
If previous Call of Duty games are anything to go by, we can expect new maps from the DLC packs, along with new weapons and maybe some extra gun camos. There may

I'm actually quite excited about the singleplayer for Call of Duty Black Ops 3, but what's equally as exciting is the new changes being made to the multiplayer.
The multiplayer is of course where the majority of players will be spending most of their time, so if you are like me you are probably wondering about the different maps that will be available at launch.
Fortunately, a few details on the maps in Black Ops 3 have already been shared, along with some other multiplayer information. We only have details about three different maps so far, but that's more than enough to keep us patiently waiting a little bit longer for more information.
The known map details are provided below.
Hunted: A Mid to long range engagement map with a waterfall in the middle allowing for swimming mechanics
Combine: A tight, close quarters map allowing for SMG's and shotguns to dominate with a risky wall running spot.
Stronghold: A snowy/icy based map in the foothills

You may have felt like Call of Duty Advanced Warfare took a few too many pages from Titanfall's book, but apparently Black Ops 3 is going to be taking some more pages. Treyarch has officially revealed some details about Black Ops 3, including information about a special wall running ability that will be in the game.
Just like in Titanfall, to wall run in Call of Duty Black Ops 3 you will need to approach a wall at an angle to begin wall running. You will have an invisible "energy" meter, and once this runs out, you will come back off of the wall and land on the ground. Leaping between walls can increase your energy meter, so you could potentially keep wall running for a lengthy period of time.
Treyarch have always been great at creating multiplayer maps, so let's hope they can create some maps that allow players to really make good use of the new wall running ability.
Call of Duty Black Ops 3 will also have a new swimming mechanic. Players will now be able to cross
