BO3 coming to current gen after all

[Carlos]

Activision announced that Black Ops 3 is coming to ALL current, and next generation consoles. In addition to being released for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, the game will also be available for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The PS4, Xbox One, and PC versions will be handled in-house by Treyarch, but the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions will be handled by two companies: Beenox and Mercenary Technology.

Here's the official word from Activision's Blog...

Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 has been designed to harness the full potential of the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC. However, we know that there are still some fans that haven’t made the transition to the new console hardware, which is why we’re happy to share that we're working with developers Beenox and Mercenary Technology on Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Xbox 360 and PS3 players will be able to experience Call of Duty: Black Ops 3’s gameplay across campaign, multiplayer and zombies. While the teams are working to deliver the best possible experience for Xbox 360 and PS3, naturally there will be some differences across generations. For instance, the campaign mode on Xbox 360 and PS3 is currently in development with a goal of enabling two-player cooperative play, instead of the four-player cooperative campaign on next-gen. There will also be some other features and functionality built specifically for the new generation of consoles that cannot be supported on Xbox 360 and PS3. We'll be sharing more information regarding feature differences from one console generation to another later this year as launch on November 6 approaches. Also, it should be noted that there's no version of Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 for Nintendo Wii U planned.

Finally, the upcoming next-gen multiplayer beta will be available only for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC—so keep an eye out for more details.

This is just the beginning for Call of Duty: Black Ops 3. There’s a ton more to discuss in the weeks and months to come, starting with E3 next week, which kicks off on June 15th.

Such a bad decision in my opinion. Just move on to the next console generation.
