Call of Duty: Black Ops III is the ultimate 3-games-in-1 experience. In Campaign mode, you must navigate the hot spots of a new Cold War to find your missing brothers. Players can play the campaign cooperatively or solo and are now always connected to the intelligence grid and their fellow operatives during battle. Multiplayer features a new momentum-based chained movement system, allowing players to fluidly move through the environment with finesse, using controlled thrust jumps, slides, and mantling. Black Ops III multiplayer also introduces the new Specialist character system, which allows players to master 9 characters' battle-hardened weapons and abilities through a challenge-based unlock progression system. No Treyarch title would be complete without its signature Zombies offering. "Shadows of Evil" has its own distinct storyline right out of the box, set in the fictional 1940s Morg City, where four particularly troubled individuals ~ the femme fatale, the magician, the detective, and the boxer ~ star in this film-noir inspired horror story.

This is a great bundle, especially on black Friday. Most Xbox one's are 349 with a 500g, this has 1 tb and two games. Even if you don't want the tomb raider games, the extra 500 gig makes sense. Plus, I got a free controller with it.

Paris 1789 ~ the once-hub of cultural and intellectual activity has been thrown into bloody chaos in the midst of the tense French Revolution. Commoners have become tired of the oppressive regime of the aristocrats and have finally gathered the courage to confront the hierarchy with the pangs of the present inequality. As the nation of France tears apart at the seams, splitting into different factions, a young man named Arno sets off on a journey to reveal the true powers behind the Revolution.

There's no game quite like soccer, you think as you join your teammates for another brutal match. As you bask in the heat of the sun and the uproarious chants of the fans, it's almost overwhelming. But the promise of a win is nearly tangible in the air and you know what you have to do. Seconds after the kickoff you and 10 teammates ~ the best players in the world ~ claim possession and weave intricate patterns that decimate your opponents' defense. You deftly maneuver around another player and take the pass coming your way. One powerful kick is all it takes ~ the ball sails home past the goalie. Once more, you've proven you have what it takes to dominate the match.Step into the drama and action of soccer like never before with FIFA 15 as you experience all the furious competition of the game rendered in breathtaking realism. Battle the world's best players and witness their expressions of intensity, celebration and defeat detailed in lifelike accuracy with Emotional Intelligence modeling. Contend with the conditions of the pitch and realistic interactions between players, the ball and their environment with Physically Correct Contacts that re-create dribbles, touches, passes, shots and deflections in relation to the position of the body part or object with which they connect. Plunge into the physicality of head-to-head competition with intense Man-to-Man Battles that test your skills and endurance and establish dominance with Full-Body Defending. Move fluidly through opposing players on the path to the goal with responsive player control. Feel the heart-pounding rush at the heart of the game as you're surrounded by region-specific behaviors, cheers and chants from the crowd and insightful commentary with Dynamic Match Presentation. Immerse yourself in lifelike authenticity with grass that responds to the progress of a match with Living Pitches and Authentic Player visuals that ensure you don't miss a single detail. Take to the pitch with three friends in offline play or go online to compete with 21 other players. Victory is waiting to be seized ~ are you ready to make your move?

It's a fun game if you are into soccer. I am not, but one of the kids likes it and I played with them and it wasn't very hard to pick up and start playing. You can get into it by picking players, teams and all kinds of stuff.

I'm sick of forza and it's so called real life driving I think it is exaggerated real life. I traded the game in because my forza loving friends didn't like it. If you are a PG2 fan, this has a close feel. There are probably 5 total cars that are stock drivable after you figure out the settings. Great game though.

You've searched castle after castle for the princess, slid through too-many-to-count number of pipes, ridden Yoshi on thrilling adventures and tossed fireballs, flown, stood still like a statue and swam underwater. You've completed every level, found every warp world, battled with Bowser every time. You know the iconic levels so well, you can complete them with your eyes closed. Well, not any more.Get ready for the most creative, exciting and challenging Super Mario game to date with Super Mario Maker. Design, create and play your own levels on your Wii U GamePad, and then explore those levels created by Nintendo and players from around the world. Use your GamePad's touch screen to add enemies, blocks, pipes and more. Combine enemies, traps and items into unexpected twists to break conventions and add unique challenges. Choose from four distinct themes, such as Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World and New Super Mario Bros. U, each with unique art styles and features. Drop in the Mystery Mushroom item to transform into different characters at random, and unlock additional characters by completing 100 Mario Challenge mode or tapping in compatible amiibo figures. Are you ready to speed through courses in record fashion, battle Piranha Plant-shooting cannons, boost your abilities with powerup-tossing Lakitus and take on the Hammer Bros. riding on Bowser while bouncing on trampolines? Better yet, do all that, and then show off your own ideas.

does this have the new ac technology

This is an "N" router, so it does not have the faster 5g speed like the "1900" models do.

Do i have to have Enternet service at all in order for this router to work?

You need Internet service from someone like Comcast or Verizion to start with. From there, you could use thier modem/router. From there, it depends on the devices in your house, if they have wireless, you should be able to connect to the router and get on the internet. If not, you would have to be hardwired with an ethernet cable to the router.

Will this alone connect me to the internet?

Can I just purchase this or do I also have to find a company and purchase their internet service as well? Don't know much about this process so any help would be great.
No, you must have a service provider who runs a wire to your house such as comcast (cable) or verizon (fiber). Then you can buy a modem or use their modem. From there, you connect a router like this into the modem. Most providers now a days provide both a modem and router with their Internet service which works fine for most people.

Integrated modem?

The specifications state this has an integrated modem. After opening the box and trying to hook this up I find it says I have to hook up to a modem. So what does integrated modem mean?
No, that model does not appear to have an integrated modem with it.

Does this router also serve as a wireless access point for bridging? Can it receive wireless signals from other wireless routers?

You would want to hardwire the two routers together and then use the second one in bridge mode, it would be the fastest througput.

This 4' Modal MD-MA5BR cable features a micro USB Type A connector on one end and a Lightning connector on the other, so you can link your micro USB-enabled device with your compatible Apple~ iPod~, iPhone~ or iPad~.
 

Can you verify that it's lighted?

The description reads, "Braided, lighted design". Please verify that this one has flashing red lights (presumably LED) all along the length of the cable similar to your non-braided models.
Thanks!
I did not see lights on mine. I would thing the packaging and description would state if it has those features.
