Black Ops 3

And a special announcement.

As part of Black Ops Fridays, Activision has revealed that there will be special new MP mode in 'Call of Duty: Black Ops III,' built around freerunning through Treyarch's own special courses. There will be different levels of difficulty attributed to different courses, and naturally, course times for Free Run will be tracked.

Free Run Mode will challenge players to figure out courses, use all of the different traversal techniques, and Free Run maps even have some weapon challenges built in.

Becoming good at traversal will help in other MP modes, and the weapon challenges, which feature weapon pick-ups and floating targets, will likewise be very helpful.
