Hate linear progression through your games? Good news if you're looking forward to Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 then, because the entire campaign will be unlocked from the start. Say whaaaat? You heard me!This news comes courtesy of a Eurogamer interview with Jason Blundell, the Director of Campaign for Black Ops 3.
"It gives them the flexibility to consume the content how they want," Blundell said.
"The unlocking level system is an archaic mentality we've had since we did bedroom development back in the day - you do this, then go on to the next one.
"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."

If you want to skip to the very end then you can. Of course, you probably won't have a clue as to what is going on or what led to that situation, but the option is there if you want to take it.
"If you see the end you'll say, I need to understand this more," Blundell said. "When Netflix release House of Cards and do all the episodes, does everyone just jump to the end and go and play the last episode? Sure you can. But it's about the journey, though, right?
"Sure, people will jump on and play the last level. Okay. Cool. That's up to them.
"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."
