'Call of Duty: Black Ops 3' Release Update: All Missions Playable After Launch on Nov. 6; Seeing the End Campaign will Encourage Players to Play Game from Start to Finish

"Call of Duty: Black Ops 3" is not going the traditional way with its campaign mode. All missions will be ready and playable even on the first hour of the launch, as Campaign Director Jason Blundell announced.

"Call of Duty: Black Ops 3" campaign mode in the past required a player to finish every mission before going on to the next.  Nobody can skip a number, from start to finish, but "Call of Duty: Black Ops 3" players will have the opportunity to check out the final mission of the campaign even when they just started playing the game, as Bundell stated in an interview with Eurogamer.

"Consumers and game players in general are far more mature these days. There are so many things vying for our interests today, It's about, how do they want to consume it? Maybe they put it down on level two, and then they're in work the next day, and some guy says, 'Dude, you've got to check out level four!' And he's like, 'Okay, I'll have a quick look.' That's totally fine. I think it's their choice," Bundell continued.

"Call of Duty: Black Ops 3" spoilers are unavoidable with this kind of setup and Activision, the game's publisher, is well aware with it.  However, they are confident that once the players sees the ending part of the game, he or she will be more interested in getting to know the details, where a player will be encouraged to go back at the start and commence playing it, PC Gamer reported.

"The way the story is constructed, it's more than just the end moment," I'm sure there are many films and other media types where you could read the last page, or see the last minutes, but really you've got to experience all of the other stuff to truly enjoy it," also according to Bundell.

"Call of Duty: Black Ops 3" will hit the shelves on Nov.6 and will be available for the PC, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One platform.
