Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 Trophies Tease the Return of Dead Ops

The world has seen a new Call of Duty game every year since 2004 without fail, and 2015 will be no different, thanks to Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 releasing on November 6th across multiple platforms. With fan-favorite developer Treyarch back at the helm, optimism for this year's Call of Duty entry is higher than usual.

Treyarch's return isn't the only thing to be excited about when it comes to Call of Duty: Black Ops 3. The game features a co-op campaign mode, the franchise's signature multiplayer is back with some major twists, and the beloved Zombies mode makes a return as well. And now the full list of trophies for Black Ops 3 has been released, giving fans an even better idea of what to expect when the game drops next month.

For the most part, the trophies will be identical to the achievements in the Xbox One version of the game. However, this list doesn't necessarily apply to the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game, as last-gen Black Ops 3 won't have a Campaign mode. In the meantime, check out the full list of trophies for Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 below:

There are a few standout trophies that tease a few overlooked or unknown features and modes. First off, it appears there is a new difficulty for the game's Campaign mode, called Realistic, that we presume will offer a forth option to players. Considering the tough challenge Veteran offers, though, it will be interesting to see just how much the difficulty is cranked up on the Realistic setting.

The list also reveals that the twin stick shooter mini-game Dead Ops Arcade is coming back as Dead Ops Arcade 2. A spinoff of Zombies Mode, Dead Ops Arcade was an amusing distraction in the original Black Ops. With both Dead Ops Arcade 2 and the Shadows of Evil Zombies map, it looks like players are in for plenty of undead action with Black Ops 3.

Finally, Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 looks to be the first game to have multiplayer achievements/trophies since World at War (and before that, Call of Duty 3). World at War gave players the equivalent of 0 gamerscore if they managed to prestige in the game, but otherwise, the Call of Duty series has stayed away from multiplayer achievements and trophies.

While some games absolutely should not have multiplayer trophies, since the online in many games is dead after just a few short months, it makes sense for Call of Duty to have multiplayer trophies, as the games always have at least partially active online communities. Furthermore, the online mulitplayer is easily the most popular component in the Call of Duty games, so why not reward players with trophies in the mode they'll be spending most of their time playing anyway?

Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 will be available November 6th for PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One.
