NIGHTLY PLAN (DRAFT) - Suggestions?
This group was created because the PC Call of Duty community is much smaller than consoles. Without it, most of the modes and playlists cannot be played even though most only need 8 players.
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=533440249
Although we organize games spontaneously all the time withing the group Chat Room, we also rotate between a variety of hard-to-play modes throughout the week. These proposed game modes help focus our members, gathering players for their favorite modes. The weekly plan will be adjusted often to find better times and more players for each interest.

We actually play these every week! If any time fails to gather, we'll eventually pull it from the plan and try something different. If any member wants to try another time or mode, just let us know in below and we'll promote anything so long as it doesn't conflict. We'll see who shows up and help you all find each other in the Chat Room.

Note: we don't generally schedule common and easy to find games like TDM . If you're can't find even those, check your network and ask for help in the Chat Room.

Questions about some of the game's features

Hello, BO3 community :)

I don't understand how the following things work and need help:

1. The published artwork from others (paint jobs, emblems, so on) --> I don't see any download option. Why have the devs added this section of popular artwork if we cannot use them for ourselves? I don't get it. How is this supposed to work? Can someone elucidate me about this?

I haven't used this myself yet. I'll experiement with it and get back to you.

2. The Wildcard item from class system --> It's really odd. For example, in one class, I have 10 items (maximum number allowed, I think) > I wanna select a Wildcard > it forces me to replace an item. Good so far.... BUT: In another class, I have only 9 items > I select a Wildcard > it forces me again to replace one. WTF? Mind blown... Is this a bug or what? How is this supposed to work? Does anybody understand / willing to help me?

The "Pick 10" system allows you to select 10 items total (including wildcards which adjust how many of each type of item you can have).

Can you send a screenshot of your screen with 9 items before you select the Wildcard?

3. The audio preset options --> I really have no clue which one to choose (when playing at speakers, not headphones). Which one is the best overall? What does "Treyarch Mix" mean? Why no descriptions of each option? This makes it hard to choose one. Any help?

Thank you in advance.

These are largely a matter of preference. Best I can suggest is to try each and run System Test. For Voice Chat, find a friend in game and experiement with the Voice Volume and your Recording Level (to fix open mics from constantly streaming).

Network Quality (Ping, Lag, PvP vs Dedicated Servers)
DEDICATED SERVERS not SERVER BROWSERS
It already has "100% Dedicated Servers" which may be why at peak hours, we sometimes cannot connect. Enough servers must always be standing by to handle the players online at any given moment.

However, most people who ask about this don't make the distinction between dedicated servers and "Server Browsers". The browser lists the available servers, maps / modes each handles, and the number of players on each. Traditionally, this is how players interacted with rented and dedicated servers. Black Ops III does not list the servers for it's public, ranked matches.

Moderns games often use dedicated servers but don't always use server browsers. For the last several years, Call of Duty has instead had a company called Demonware automatically assign you to hosts. With Ghosts and Advanced Warfare, Demonware uses a hybrid systems that would sometimes use one of the player's machines to host (when no good servers were available nearby). Black Ops III is also handled by Demonware but no longer allows player-hosted games for public matches. So the master game universe resides outside of any one players control.

USER MODS AND MAPS COMING - PC EXCUSIVE
Treyarch has announced that they intend to alpha test custom maps and mods starting in March. After testing, these options will go live for everyone. These will use rentable servers and provide the traditional server browser. We expect these will remain entirely seperate from the official, ranked servers coordinated by Demonware within the official game.

TM8 already has one server offered by FLS (Colorado, USA) which will support these games. We'll be looking for others who can servers in other regions. Ideally, each clan might run a server in their area.
