QUICK AND EASY

3 Easy Steps… takes about 1 minute. Could save us hours of frustration!

The optional template below can even help you prepare your thoughts.

CAN YOU REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM? …OR FIX IT?

Keep notes while you play (Win-R, “notepad”) or use the template shown below.

Make sure you can reproduce the problem. Try to describe the precise steps that cause it. This is most useful part of any bug report.

And check if others may have fixed the same problems already.

  • BETA OPTIMIZATION GUIDES
  • Graphics, Crashes, Freezing (FPS, Quality, Artifacts, DirectX, Memory)
  • Controls, Options, Menus (Sensitivity, FOV, Key binding, Controllers, etc)
  • Network Quality (Ping, Lag, PvP vs Dedicated Servers)
  • Balancing, Skill Gap, Objective Play (Noob Tubes, Camping, OP Streaks, etc)
  • Map Design (Size, Layout, Glitches)
  • Matchmaking (Balanced teams, Public lobbies, Regional Players, Ranked by Skills)
  • In-game Communications (Voice, Text Chat, etc)
  • Anti-cheat (Hackers, Aimbots, Wall Hacks, Theater Mode, TAC + VAC bans, etc)
  • Personalization (Gun Workshop, Character Outfits, Emblem Editor)

VOTE WITH YOUR WALLET

Finally, don’t buy the hype. Don’t do it just because your friends did.
Little speaks louder than our money.
Make sure the game works well before you decide to buy or refund it. Steam allows a 2 hour trial even after the final release (Nov 6). Other distributors have different policies.

Test each issue on your list. Request a refund if the game’s not yet ready.

If you don’t own it on release day, you can follow our forums, patch notes, stats, reviews, and your friends. Let hard evidence help you decide when to buy any game or it’s DLC.

= DLC WARNING =
If you buy any DLC for PC Call of Duty, you must keep buying all DLC in order to find other players.

So Season Pass will always the be wisest and least expensive DLC option whether you order it today or after the new maps are released.

To save time, this template uses the same categories as the Black Ops III Beta feedback site. Add your notes below.
Make them short and specific.
Good and bad.
