We have more people playing Black Ops III &#8211; a game that takes place in the future with boost jumps and fictitious weapons and all the rest &#8211; than any game in our history.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So what we know for sure is that if we always did what worked in the past and never took any creative risks, we wouldn&#8217;t have a franchise.
