Call of Duty: Black Ops III gets its launch trailer

With the new Call of Duty days from shelves, Activision rolled out the launch trailer for Treyarch’s Black Ops III — set to the Rolling Stones’ “Paint It Black,” a track choice so good it became inseparable from the game.

The trailer cuts between all three pillars: the Campaign, Multiplayer, and Zombies, mixing gameplay with cinematic shots. One detail worth catching: NFL star Marshawn Lynch appears briefly in-character — the first athlete to lend his likeness to the franchise’s roster of celebrity cameos.

The official description, preserved:

Call of Duty: Black Ops III is the ultimate 3-games-in-1 experience.

In Campaign mode, you’re immersed in a new Cold War to find your missing brothers. Play cooperatively or solo, always connected to the network intelligence and your companions in battle.

Multiplayer introduces a new chain-movement system — fluid traversal with controlled jumps and wall runs — plus the Specialists system: nine characters, each with unique weapons and abilities mastered through challenge-based progression.

And no Treyarch title is complete without its signature Zombies: “Shadows of Evil” carries its own noir-horror story set in the 1940s fictional Morg City, starring four complicated figures — the femme fatale, the magician, the detective, and the boxer.

Black Ops III hit November 6 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 — with the last-gen versions carrying only Multiplayer and Zombies, no campaign. It went on to become one of the series’ most beloved entries; Call of Duty: Black Ops III is still easy to find and still played.
