Developed by Beenox and Mercenary Technology, we know Black Ops 3 on PS3/360 won’t include a campaign, focusing just on multiplayer and Zombies. According to Activision, you can expect anywhere from 30-60 frames-per-second when playing online:
The multiplayer mode on PS3 and Xbox 360 will scale between 30- 60fps, while the frame rate in Zombies mode is 30fps.
While the PS3/360 versions of Black Ops 3 will include the all-new Specialist class of 9 Black Ops soldiers, you won’t be seeing these features:
Game performance and features will vary by platform.For example, features built to leverage the next generation hardware like the new Weapon Paint Shop and the new suite of eSports tools, including CODCasting and Theater will only be available on Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
In terms of space, Black Ops 3 requires an 8GB update, with the free download copy of Call of Duty: Black Ops taking up 20GB:
