If you are a fan of the Call Of Duty franchise, you might be interested in the Digital Deluxe Edition of the latest installment, Black Ops 3. This edition includes the base game, the season pass, and some bonus content such as the Nuk3town map, the Giant Zombies map, and some personalization packs. But is it worth the price? Let's find out.
Call Of Duty: Black Ops 3 is a first-person shooter that takes place in a dystopian future where technology and warfare have merged. You play as a cybernetically enhanced soldier who can use various abilities and gadgets to fight against enemies and complete missions. The game has three modes: campaign, multiplayer, and zombies.
The campaign mode is a co-op experience that can be played with up to four players online or solo. The story is not very engaging, but the gameplay is fun and varied. You can customize your character and your loadout, and choose from different cybercores that give you different skills. The missions are also nonlinear and have multiple paths and objectives. The campaign mode is not very long, but it has some replay value.
The multiplayer mode is the main attraction of the game. It is fast-paced and addictive, with many maps, modes, and weapons to choose from. You can also create your own classes and customize your appearance and taunts. The multiplayer mode introduces a new feature called Specialists, which are characters with unique abilities and weapons that you can select before each match. There are nine Specialists in total, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. The multiplayer mode also has a progression system that rewards you with unlockables and challenges.
The zombies mode is a co-op survival mode that pits you and up to three other players against waves of undead enemies. You can choose from two maps: Shadows of Evil, which is set in a noir-inspired city in the 1940s, and The Giant, which is a remake of the classic Der Riese map from World At War. The zombies mode has its own story and characters, as well as easter eggs and secrets to discover. You can also customize your loadout and use gobblegums, which are consumable items that give you temporary perks.
The Digital Deluxe Edition of Black Ops 3 also comes with the season pass, which gives you access to four DLC packs that will be released throughout the year. Each pack will include four new multiplayer maps and one new zombies map. The first pack, Awakening, has already been released and features four maps: Gauntlet, Splash, Rise, and Skyjacked. The second pack, Eclipse, will be released on April 19th and will feature four maps: Spire, Rift, Knockout, and Verge. The third and fourth packs have not been announced yet.
The bonus content that comes with the Digital Deluxe Edition includes the Nuk3town map, which is a futuristic version of the classic Nuketown map from Black Ops 1 and 2. It is a small and chaotic map that features dynamic elements such as exploding cars and mannequins. The Giant Zombies map is a remake of the Der Riese map from World At War, which features the original characters from the zombies mode. It is a large and complex map that has many secrets and easter eggs to uncover. The personalization packs include three weapon camos (Weaponized 115, Cyborg, and Black Ops 3), three reticles (Mind Trip, Weaponized 115, Cyborg), and three calling cards (Weaponized 115 Animated Card Pack).
The Digital Deluxe Edition of Black Ops 3 costs $99.99 on Steam, which is $40 more than the standard edition. Is it worth it? That depends on how much you enjoy the game and how much you value the extra content. If you are a hardcore fan of the franchise and plan to play all the DLCs and bonus maps, then it might be a good deal for you. If you are not sure or only interested in some of the content, then you might want to wait for a sale or buy the standard edition instead.
