News: Activision is testing the waters on a new idea where you can play some Black Ops III multiplayer without having to pay for the whole game.
Activision is performing an interesting experiment on Steam right now with Call of Duty: Black Ops III. Right now on Steam you can purchase the Call of Duty: Black Ops III Multiplayer Starter Pack on PC. It is only available for a limited time (until February 29) and offers access to public ranked multiplayer matches and game features, including Weapon Paint Shop, Gunsmith, Arena, Freerun, Theater and the Black Market. This multiplayer only version of the game is available for $14.99.
It needs to be noted that this multiplayer starter pack does not feature full game content. For the full Call of Duty: Black Ops III experience you can upgrade to the full PC version at any time. The price paid for the starter pack will be automatically deducted from the price of the full game or Digital Deluxe Edition.
The features that are NOT included in this multiplayer starter pack:
Zombies game mode
Campaign game mode
Ability to play in Multiplayer custom games
Ability to Prestige (your level will be capped at 55 in the Starter Pack)
Access to mod tools or modded content (once released)
Access to unranked server browser (once released)
Ability to Fresh Start your profile
The ability to access Dead Ops Arcade II and Nightmares mode
