PSA: BO3 DOES NOT SUPPOURT OFFLINE MP BOTS OR ZOMBIES!

[Mr. Gaiety]

Call of Duty has always been a blast online, but all types of players play differently. This is for the people who prefer to buy their games digitally but still want to have the option of playing all the content offline. For you, Treyarch has decided to LOCK the entirety of the Multiplayer/Zombies experience offline so you can't even play it splitscreen if the internet goes down.

There is just simply no excuse for this arbitrary restriction. We bought the game. We paid the money. Offline bots and Zombies can clearly be played by yourself, yet they still require a always-on connection? Remember when people had to make third-party "hacks" just to enable offline AI bots for MW2 and Black Ops 1? It makes no sense and if you agree then be informed before deciding to spend your money on this title.

Huge disappointment for players like me.

UPDATE: In case anyone is reading this years later- there is a solution to all of this. You'll have to find a version of the game from a girl who saw it 'fit' to make Black Ops 3 run offline MP properly.

+1 i can't understand why zombies mod need to be play online...

[MagnificentRoast]

that makes little sense considering modding will be possible in 2016...oh well...

[Kreefthond]

Totally agree

[Mr. Gaiety]

To update this thread, I've just learned that the PS4/Xbone versions of BO3 does not have this restriction.

So the PC version is intetionally gimped if you boot into offline mode for basically no reason.

the restriction was the same on black ops 2, everyone defended that too. Fun fact: you can get banned from playing zombies if you hack it to play it offline, no joke.

Heres another fun fact: You had to use a trainer/hack just to play offline AI bots on Black Ops 1 as well. So its already been 2 Treyarch games where pirates who illegally copied the games to their harddrives FOR FREE got a feature that people who paid actual money don't.

And now its the third. The stupidity is astounding. Its going to be amazing to see if anybody will hack Black Ops 3 again because Treyarch refuses to change this practice.

i know right, hell if my steam rep wasn't so important i'd have used the offline hack a long time ago, pcdev on twitter said that they have a 0 tolerance policy for any hacks because a guy was saying that he got banned for playing the game offline. I mean what if...heavens forbid...valve went under in the next 2 years? they have a clause to be able to play games without steam when that happens, but what about the always-on games that relied on steam's servers? we'd lose access to black ops 2 zombies and black ops 3 zombies

I just dont understand why we ( the people that actually buy the game ) are getting punished for people that pirate it.

C'mon man, that doesn't make any ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sence.

i agree, if it wasn't for me wanting to preserve my steam reputation...i'd go with the offline hack, but honestly how could treyarch know that it's happening if you're smart enough to keep 2 different instances on your hard drive?

yep welcome to call of duty on PC, blops 2 had the same problem. Fun fact: in some configurations they'll tell you you can't even play a solo game because of your connection

But that's only for user made multiplayer maps though, right?

I'm always connected to the internet. I don't care.

+1 for stupidity of treyarch

Unsure, but modding an online game is still a bannable offense in 80% of scenarios.

You say that now, but internet isn't always reliable, you'll want to play one day and bam, servers go down. Or your internet goes down because of some idiot's mistake, there are countless variables.
