Eclipse DLC 2 Map Pack Support

  • Spire: Spire takes Multiplayer combat to a futuristic sub-orbital airport terminal set high in the clouds. Multiple levels and open areas promote intense, mid-range combat around a clean, high-tech civilian environment. Watch your step, because one wrong move could send you plummeting back through the stratosphere.
  • Rift: Head to the core of a harsh futuristic military complex, set high above an active caldera. Rift funnels and forces tight, intense engagements, where the only way through is forward. Utilize the unique core movement opportunities to outsmart and outplay enemies as you traverse the suspended rail system.
  • Knockout: Housed in a traditional Shaolin Temple with a retro twist, Knockout sets the stage for a bloody Kung Fu tournament. This mid-sized map showcases a sharp contrast between the mid-range engagements of the traditional exterior architecture and the tight close-quarters of an eclectic 1970's styled interior.
  • Verge: In this re-imagination of the classic Call of Duty: World at War map, Banzai, Verge drops Multiplayer combat into the center of a distant post-apocalyptic future, where two warring factions are entrenched in constant battle. Take control of the key bridge, fortresses, tunnel systems and waterfalls as you engage in high-speed action through this medium-sized map.
  • Zetsubou No Shima: Eclipse also sets the stage for Zetsubou No Shima, the highly-anticipated, all-new entry in theCall of Duty: Black Ops III Zombies storyline that spans the four DLC Map Packs for Black Ops III this year. The Originscharacters continue on their mission to stop the zombie apocalypse not only in this universe but in all universes. Our heroes find themselves stranded on a remote Pacific island which is home to the Division 9 facility: a secret biological research lab whose experiments with Element 115 and its effects on human, animal, and plant biology has created horrors beyond belief. Zetsubou No Shima features a foliage rich island map including new terrifying zombie enemies, a variety of innovative transport mechanics, more devastating traps and classic Zombies side quests.

What does "Removed speed reduction while firing" mean? Some guns gave you reduced move speed while firing even if hipfire or something?

 

Interesting to see the Pharo getting buffed that's a god mode gun already (IMO). Decimates all other SMGs except maybe at ULTRA close ranges.

 

 

RAPS buff looks interesting I already thought it was really good primarily just due to the Chaos it causes between that and a team that rushes properly it's got to be maddening for the other team.

Yes, your movement speed is normally reduced while firing in BO3.   They are basically making it faster to move while hip firing.

Would that be a faster ADS move speed as well?

 

No, it will still slow down when you ADS.  SMGs are supposed to be more portable and maneuverable as compared to ARs and LMGs.  In theory, you should not really have any slower movement when hip firing an SMG compared to an AR.  That is one of the advantages of the SMG over the AR.  Because a SMG is supposed to be lighter and smaller, it is should also be a quicker time to ADS.   In a previous patch, they made the SMG and ARs have about the same ADS time. Therefore, the SMGs only had a few advantages (i.e. fire rate, overall movement speed (100% for SMG vs 95% for AR).   I believe that 3arc was trying to balance the weapons by giving the SMGs another advantage (after removing ADS time) that they should have been in the game already.
