Call of Duty Black Ops 3 Multiplayer for $15

Activision and Treyarch are competing directly with Valve’s Counter-Strike: Global Offensive by releasing a multiplayer-only version of Black Ops 3 for $15 exclusively on Steam. The same price as Global Offensive. Activision is calling this version of Blops 3 the multiplayer starter pack and it’s only available until the end of February.

It’s been difficult to find players for anything but team deathmatch, so I hope this starter pack sticks around and brings more people to the best Windows version of a modern CoD yet.
