"The Nuketown maps have a special place in Call of Duty multiplayer history and we can't wait to build upon that heritage in Black Ops III," Mark Lamia, Studio Head of Treyarch, said. "We carefully adapted the design of the map to make sure that it fit with our new movement system, but to also make sure that we retained the spirit and the fun that made fans fall in love with it in the first place."The popular map debuted in the original "Call of Duty®: Black Ops," and returned in "Call of Duty®: Black Ops II" as Nuketown 2025, with an updated look and feel representing the home of the future.
As Nuk3town in "Call of Duty: Black Ops III," this classic, downloadable bonus map once again delivers quick-hitting action that's suitable for all game types, but now reimagined for a new generation of play styles to best fit the new movement system.
Black Ops III multiplayer offers the most engaging and rewarding multiplayer offering to date in the series, where players move fluidly through custom-built environments with finesse, all while maintaining complete control over their weapon at all times.
Treyarch also introduces its new Specialist system, which lets players choose and rank-up 9 elite Black Ops soldiers, each with their own look, personality, voice and battle-hardened weapons and abilities, fundamentally changing the way players engage in combat.
Multiplayer is rounded out with an all-new weapon customization system that give players more powerful tools than ever to build and personalize that perfect weapon.
For campaign players, "Call of Duty: Black Ops III" deploys players into a future world, where bio-technology coupled with cybernetic enhancements has given rise to a new breed of Black Ops soldier.
Through Direct Neural Interface (DNI) technology, players are now connected to the intelligence grid and their fellow operatives during battle.
In a world more divided than ever, this elite squad consists of men and women who have enhanced their combat capabilities to fight faster, stronger, and smarter.
No Black Ops title would be complete without its signature Zombies, rounding out the offering.
"Call of Duty: Black Ops III" delivers "Shadows of Evil," a 1940's film-noir-inspired adventure that is a completely unique, immersive and ambitious Zombies experience to date, complete with a new XP progression for players, adding unprecedented levels of depth and re-playability.
