Call of Duty: Black Ops III Announced for PS3 and Xbox 360

4.6
Activision just announced with a blog post that Call of Duty: Black Ops III will actually come to PS3 and Xbox 360 on top of the previously announced PC, PS4 and Xbox One versions.

Beenox and Mercenary Technology are the studios working on the old-gen ports.

There will be differences with the current generation version: the campaign co-op mode will only allow two players instead of four on PS3 and Xbox 360, while “some other features and functionality” will also not be included, as they’re built specifically for the new generation of platforms.

The upcoming beta will also be available only on PS4, Xbox One and PC.

As a bit of a punch in the gut for Wii U owners (at least the fifteen that actually care about Call of Duty, I guess), the announcement explicitly specifies that there is no version of the game planned for Nintendo’s console.

This is only holding the game back more, they need to just stop with older gen now.

I'd rather just not have it at all, they need a whole new team to create good games again.

Nullrouted Not surprising, all of the CoD games are the same but a reskin. Can't believe current generation games made by CoD still run on last-gen consoles that's disappointing. The Xbox 360 hardware and PS3 hardware are horrible compared to our current technology today and what most high-performance games run on.

Sigh.

This is good for the people who don't want to buy it and it just give Microsoft more money

This sentence will explain why this is not holding back progress for current gen.
