Treyarch to abandon traditional tactics in Call of Duty: Black Ops 3

Treyarch will not be bringing the same old tactics from every Call of Duty game into Black Ops 3. Speaking with Edge Magazine, game directors Dan Bunting and Jason Blundell revealed some of the changes we should expect to see in the game.

Campaign director Jason Blundell revealed that old tactics simply won't do in Black Ops 3,  "With the greatest reverence and respect for [Call of Duty], sometimes the tactic is just left trigger, right trigger, dead."

"With some of our new AI archetypes, that won’t be viable. We’ve also opened up the spaces, so you need much better situational awareness,” added Blundell.

"We still push people into choke points and constrain heights, but we wanted to give players an extended mastery curve, to expand the upper limits of how they learn movement through the map,” said Bunting to Edge magazine. “We automate a lot of things. We let players concentrate on the combat; everything else is fluid – it sublimates to a primal part of your brain."

One of the age-old tactics that Activision had for the Call of Duty series was Xbox exclusivity, and it's possible that they are dropping that tactic too.
