Platform Features

Everything You Need to Run Your Call of Duty: Black Ops III Server

Custom Zombies Maps on Your Own Server

Download a Zombies map from the Steam Workshop with the Gamepanel's Workshop button, put its mod ID in the Commandline Manager and add the map to playlists.info. Your group gets a server that runs the map you want, when you want. To play Zombies on a dedicated server, everyone needs the free T7x client from AlterWare.

  • Workshop maps downloaded from the Gamepanel
  • Load any map by its mod ID
  • Zombies with the T7x client

  • Hardcore mode and friendly fire
  • Your own map and mode playlist

About the Game

About Call of Duty: Black Ops III

Updated 29 October 2026

Call of Duty: Black Ops III is Treyarch's 2015 entry in the series, set in the 2060s, with wall-running, thrust jumps, Specialists and one of the most loved Zombies modes Call of Duty has had.

It was released on 6 November 2015. On PC, Treyarch added unranked dedicated server tools to Steam in December 2016 and mod tools with Steam Workshop support in 2017, which is why the PC version is still busy with custom Zombies maps, multiplayer maps and mods years later.

A rented Black Ops III dedicated server lets your group play the Workshop maps you choose with your own rules, without waiting for someone to host a lobby. The server runs around the clock on our hardware, with nightly backups and DDoS mitigation.

FAQ

Call of Duty: Black Ops III Server Hosting FAQ

How do I choose a Black Ops 3 server host?▾

Check a few things: an easy way to install Steam Workshop maps, access to server.cfg and the playlist so you can set your own rules, a location near your players, DDoS mitigation and automatic backups. A free trial lets you test the connection before you pay. Our servers have all of these, with 20 locations and a 48-hour free trial.

Can I run custom Zombies maps on a Black Ops 3 dedicated server?▾

Yes. Download the map with the Steam Workshop button in the Gamepanel, put its Workshop ID in the Mod field of your command line, then add the map's folder name and the zm game type to playlists.info. Our Workshop and Zombies guide walks through it with a real map. Players need the T7x client to play Zombies on the server: see the next question.

Do I need the T7x client to play Zombies?▾

Yes. Zombies on a Black Ops III dedicated server only works with T7x, a free community client from AlterWare. Each player puts t7x.exe in their Black Ops III folder and runs it once to install it; it needs a genuine Steam copy of the game. Follow AlterWare's T7x install guide, and open a ticket if you'd like our team to set the server up for it.

Can I make a private Black Ops 3 server?▾

Yes. It's your own server: you choose the maps, modes and rules, and it stays online whether or not your friends are playing. If you want it password-protected, open a ticket and our support team will help you set it up.

Is it a ranked server?▾

No. Black Ops III dedicated servers are unranked, which is what Treyarch's server tools allow on PC. That's what makes custom maps, mods and your own rules possible.

Can console players join?▾

No. Dedicated servers are for the PC version on Steam, so every player needs Black Ops III on PC. The Xbox and PlayStation versions don't support community servers.

How many players can join?▾

Our Black Ops III plans have no player slot limit. You set the player count in your server settings, up to what the game and your chosen mode allow.

How much does a Black Ops 3 server cost?▾

Plans start from $9.99/month. With NVMe Pro storage and Above Normal CPU priority it's $15.50/month, or $18.57/month with High CPU priority. Every plan is also available on our Extreme hardware, and all of them come with a 48-hour free trial.

How long has PingPerfect hosted Call of Duty: Black Ops III servers?▾
