<p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Call of Duty: Black Ops III</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> just released today and it seems some people are having difficulty accessing the game’s servers.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Activision Support are advising that those who are having trouble connecting should restart their console and download the latest update for the game.</span></p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Trouble connecting to the Black Ops 3 servers? Restart your console to download the latest game update.</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Despite the suggestion from the game’s support team, some Twitter users are still facing the issue, though support remain adamant that overcapacity isn’t the culprit.</span></p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">@satarinps3 Nope, 600K+ players currently online at this time. Which console are you on? ^JE</p>

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One user isn’t able to launch the game itself, let alone attempt to get online.</span></p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr"><a href="https://twitter.com/ATVIAssist?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@ATVIAssist</a> What about if this is happening? Multiple restarts haven&#39;t fixed the issue, <a href="https://t.co/mplaoC7vgp">pic.twitter.com/mplaoC7vgp</a></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you’re getting the feeling of deja vu, it’s not just you. Similar server issues occurred during launch day for Visceral Games’ </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Battlefield: Hardline</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> earlier this year, while </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Battlefield 4</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">’s server problems gave gamers grief long after its initial release.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hopefully this won&#8217;t stay an issue for long and it will be fixed in due time.</span></p>
