Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 Release: 15 New Details

The Real Reason You Can't Play Black Ops 3 Campaign on Old Consoles

We learned that there is no campaign mode on the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of Black Ops 3 last month, and now we know one of the reasons why you'll need to buy the current console version to play. Speaking to EuroGamer Jason Blundell explains the reasoning.

"We being Treyarch, we’re only looking at the current-gen stuff, so PS4 and Xbox One. And when we hear the old-gen stuff start having to take things away to be able to make it perform on those machines… they’re like, ‘okay, we’re going to have to lose this, and lose that, and bring this back in,’ from a purely selfish point of view, I completely agreed with Activision’s decision to cut the campaign, because I don’t want you to get a second-rate experience. So I agreed on that level."
