No single-player campaign mode for Black Ops 3 on PS3 and Xbox 360

Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 will only have multiplayer and zombie mode on PS3 and Xbox 360.

The announcement popped up on the Call of Duty community blog, and states that, "The ambitious scope of the 1-4 player coop Campaign design of the PS4, Xbox One and PC versions could not be faithfully recreated on old generation hardware."

So if you pick up Black Ops 3 on PS3 or Xbox 360, you'll only be able to play the multiplayer mode and the zombies mode.

The last gen versions will also be lacking in "features built to leverage the next generation hardware like the new Weapon Paint Shop and the new suite of eSports tools [which] will only be available on Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC."

With that in mind, the RRP for the game on older platforms is $49.99 and will include a "bonus download for the original Call of Duty: Black Ops (bonus download availability may vary by region)".

I don't know that many CoD players care that much about the campaign, so is the absence of it something that they'll be upset about? Should we all have switched over to this gen already anyway, almost two years into this console cycle? Let us know what you think about this move in the comments below.
