Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 will feature co-op campaign play when it launches on November 6, but even if you pick up the game a few weeks later, you'll be able to catch up to your buddies right out of the box. That's because every level in Black Ops 3 story will be unlocked from the get-go, allowing you to skip all that nonsense about "plot" and "character arcs" and get right to the good part: savin' the world.
The idea is that you'll be able to jump in for co-op no matter how far ahead in the story your friends may be, eliminating a barrier to the co-op experience. It's not the only lifeline developer Treyarch is throwing to newcomers, either. Players will be able to share guns in co-op, meaning that if Player A has unlocked an awesome gun that Player B hasn't, Player A can share that weapon with Player B to give them an edge in battle.
