Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 is adding a new difficulty and bringing back a mode, based on the recent trophy leak.
Multiple trophies refer to Realistic as a difficulty level on top of Hardened and Veteran. The name seems to hint that it will attempt to simulate how hard it would be to accomplish these actions in real life. Given Black Ops 3’s sci-fi premise, this does seem to be an internal contradiction, but it won’t matter for gamers if it turns out to be interesting.
Also named in the trophy descriptions is Dead Ops Arcade 2, clearly the sequel to the game of the same name from Black Ops 2.Dead Ops Arcade is a top-down, twin stick shooter. This minigame gives players unlimited ammo and eschews levels for a single arcade mode. However, since Black Ops 2, top down shooters have been redefined and refined via new IPs like Hotline Miami and Teleglitch. Add to this the bigger potential of 8th gen consoles and Dead Ops Arcade 2 may be a considerably bigger game than the original.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 will be released on November 6 on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and Windows.
