Call of Duty: Black Ops III just released today and it seems some people are having difficulty accessing the game’s servers.
Activision Support are advising that those who are having trouble connecting should restart their console and download the latest update for the game.
Trouble connecting to the Black Ops 3 servers? Restart your console to download the latest game update.

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.
@satarinps3 Nope, 600K+ players currently online at this time. Which console are you on? ^JE

One user isn’t able to launch the game itself, let alone attempt to get online.
@ATVIAssist What about if this is happening? Multiple restarts haven't fixed the issue, pic.twitter.com/mplaoC7vgp

If you’re getting the feeling of deja vu, it’s not just you. Similar server issues occurred during launch day for Visceral Games’ Battlefield: Hardline earlier this year, while Battlefield 4’s server problems gave gamers grief long after its initial release.
Hopefully this won’t stay an issue for long and it will be fixed in due time.
