    What a garbage game. Has game breaking glitches that will drive you insane when you have to reload the game over and over again. They did update the graphics slightly but everything else including the general story is almost identical. Boring as hell too.

    Another bad CoD.....where is my vomit bag?

    I'm just going to state the facts

    Painfully boring and the same linear campaign. It has no creativity and inspiration.Multiplayer is better than the Advance Warfare and Ghosts (the only good thing). The main thing for me is that buggy, crashing multiple time in half an hour and those fine for 2-3 hours before crashing repeatedly for another half an hour. Frustrating and annoying.

    Zombies is decent, I actually really liked the multiplayer until it got stale! But campaign sucks. Bad story. Want a good story and campaign in FPS? Play Halo, NOT COD.

    Very bad campaign don't even play not worth

    Fun Multiplayer new specialist thing adds more fun unless game freeze.Multiplayer is good but they can still fix some things; weapons (smg long distance,shoutgun annoying) ,flamethrower tottaly annoying , too much jumping , not much player etc. etc.

    Zombies: Well this time nice job i really like zombies finnaly good ai , im giving 3 for zombie mod but you have to buy dlc for upcoming maps

    Worth buying ?

    Pior campanha, personagens sem graça alguma, historia nada haver.

    This game is a total rip off of titanfall 2 without the mechs portion. The Gameplay is somewhat decent but still in the same boat of futuristic shooter that is not at all what activision should be working on.

    Another big bug happens the game gets paused. Yes, pausing the game, something that basically every game in the last 30 years has managed to implement without screwing the game up, will screw the game up. Scripted cutscenes will continue playing while paused, or will fail to play when the game is unpaused. Unpausing also makes animations of enemies stop playing and they just float around frozen.

    Also... why the ops gotta be black?    … Expand

    A technical unoptimized cesspit of a Call of Duty game with generic/incomprehensive story line, clunky controls, and disappointing gameplay.

    Singleplayer has a bad story and a very boring, repetitive setting. The new gameplay elements do not really enrich the game but rather make the overall gaming experience more inconstistent. Multiplayer is not really to recommend these days anymore, as player count is too low for having a solid reliable experience matchmaking-wise.

    By far the most stupid, idiotic game I have ever played! The story is so dump, that I got headaches, even when skipping every single cut scene as fast as possible. I forced myself to finish it only because of the 30 bucks I have spent for it. It was a horrible torture! And whenever I thought it's over and I am ready to uninstall it, another dumb ass mission had to be run through -> ABy far the most stupid, idiotic game I have ever played!

    For a series that has prided itself on its 60 fps gunplay Black Ops III on PC is another shoddy port that suffers from lack of optimization. Stuttering is so frequent as to render the game unplayable. Highly recommend waiting to see if the issues are fixed. If you already have bought it you can get a refund through Steam.

    This is an excellent game, but the servers forced me to rate it so low. They are many times disconnected at zombies. I dont know for multi. It's so annoying

    I bought it almost out for about 50 euros and was not disappointed, the good thing is that it complies with what it offers; Quick games, very simple and little more, a CoD like the ones of each year, I do not recommend the purchase to date because there are almost no people playing. If you liked the zombies of Black Ops or you happen to buy this game.

    Worst call of duty game in my life. Starting with save problems, after solving them:
    Can not get weapons from enemies, the game dont let you move everywhere before the npc goes first Cannot open doors as soon as possible. Its real garbage.

    This game is unplayable in PC. It was performing well during the first two weeks then it starts disconnecting, lagging, stuttering and there is this one time that my PC stops working cos of the lag. I needed to force restart my PC. Hey Treyarch fix your game!

    The fact that it's only white character they have when you want to select your characters in campaign is a no for me. They got like 6 or maybe more characters both make and female each and they are all white. Plus gameplay is too Arcady, like wtf is wall run and double jump

    This game is a disaster. The campaign is a mess. The ending is ridiculous. I didn't like the atmosphere, it's weird. Graphics and action are maybe OK, but the gameplay ideas were not so good.

    Story: Big story, Bad story, Make no sense story. I don't care about any of the characters and I don't think Treyarch did either. 1.5/10

I HATE the maps, they are way too linear to have any fun and they don't really go well with the ""advanced movement*"". Although it is still fun to shoot things because the gunplay is alright. 5/10

    Graphics: The kind that looks meh when the game first comes out but also doesn't really age with time. 5.5/10 (for 2022) 6.5/10 (for 2015).

    Sound: Generic Call of Duty sounds. 5/10

    Stability: Alright now, but I heard it was a broken mess at launch (however that doesn't really affect my score) 7/10

    Zombies: Better than BO1. 8/10

    Overall: I really don't care about this game. BO3 does some stuff alright but it also does some stuff horribly. I would give it a 5 but the campaign is just so bad that the zombies would have to be perfect to get that score so I have to give it a 4/10 instead.    … Expand

    A bit better than the Ghosts, but worse than Advanced Warfare – new Call of Duty is awkwardly trying to make some changes in single player, but adding a bunch of technical problems in the same time. Multiplayer it is flawless as usual. [Issue#258]

    Treyarch gives us a Call of Duty game that is brimming with content and is sure to provide hundreds of hours of entertainment to its buyers. It’s just a shame that the focus on the quantity of content ended up causing a lack of polish in some areas.
