    Didn't play much of CoD, but we occasionally play this on LANs because it has extensive multiplayer features, such as local splitscreen, which is very rare nowadays. Could have had a bit more content for its price tag, expansions are also too expensive

    In my opinion the game is good but flying system is bad and driving is ugly too. Campaign is good

    Der Multiplayer macht verdammt viel Spaß, wenn denn mal keiner Auto Sniper oder Shotgun spielt, ist auf jednen Fall ein richtig guter Multiplayer. Die neue Zombie Map Shadows of the Evil, sieht schön aus, aht eine gute Story aber ist viel zu eng, der ist schon echt blöd, macht mitlerweile gar nicht mehr soooo viel Spaß.

The Giant, die Vorbesteller Zombie Map oder auch die Season Pass Bonus Zombie Map ist aus Black Ops 1 und ist ganz gut zu Spielen, macht mir mehr Spaß wie SotE, vor allem weil der Anfang auch wieder normal sit und ich weiß, dass ich am Anfang 4 Mal schießen kann ;-)
    So jetzt zur Kampange: WOLLT IHR MICH VERARSCHEN ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
    Ganz am Anfang verliert man wie in AW einen Arm und diesen halben Exo Anzug zu bekommen, Leute das geht auch, ohne dass man gleich alle Gliedmaßen verliert, die hat in der Story ja fast jeder verloren, was soll denn das, da geht doch keiner mehr freiwillig zur Army. Jetzt direkt zum allerschlimmsten, die DIALOGE: Al würden sich zwei 7 jährige Kinder unterhalten, die Dialoge sind stumpf, total Emotionslos, Henricks versucht manchmal zu brüllt, hört sich eher wie komisches lautes Gerede an und dann diese Szene wo der einen den anderen umhaut und ihm dann die Hand reicht, schön und gut, kein Problem aber 1 bis 2 Mission später kommt genau diese Szene nochmal vor, nur dass der andere den andere umhaut, wie so Kinder, der hat mich gehauen, jetzt muss ich den auch hauen. Oder einfahc offensichtliche Sachen: Könnt Taylor dahinter stecken, (Sarkasmus an) Nein auf keinen Fall, nieeeeeeemals! (Sarkasmus aus) also echt Call of Duty, bitte verkauft eure Spieler nicht für total verblödet, bringt da mehr Elan rein, mehr Stimmung, Emotionen und Wut, so wie Captain Price oder in Bo1 und Bo2, sogar in AW war dies alles vorhanden, die Kampange war auch echt gut, der Zombies MOdus war gewöhnungsbedürftig, der Multi echt ncht gut aber das war wenigstens normal darfgestellt.    … Expand

    Campaign was a 4 at best. The ability to make me not care about a single character is an impressive feat. The multiplayer was great, some weapons balancing was needed for sure but I just got good (without sounding like an ass). The zombies is what I bought the game for though and that is easily the best part of it. It's the best COD game for zombies with 'Zombies Chronicles' and even theCampaign was a 4 at best.

    I never thought a campaign could be that boring. It’s not bad but I played it for 30 minutes and I was done. The multiplayer is very unstable, movement is blocky and my im got leaked. In 2023 all players are:
    1) level 1000 (50%)
    2)hacking (10%)
    3) afk (10%)
    4) new (30%)

    I think CoD black op 3 is an okay game. The campaign is vefry confusing and the story is probably the most complicated story in call of duty history.

But i must say that i have really enjoyed the zombies mode. It's just pure fun and the lore is also fairly interesting.
    Overall from the more casual gamer perspective i like the game but from the call of duty fan perspective i don't like it that much.    … Expand

    This game on PC is a lot better than it is on consoles. And that is all because of the Steam Workshop, which people make custom made maps and mods. The Campaign is still a piece of **** but now the Multiplayer and Zombies have gotten WAY better.

    Story is complicated and overall a bad writing.
    Gameplay is fun and diverse with different levels like burning zombie nazis and boss fights.
    Not a bad game.
    Multiplayer introduces class system for the series.

    Black Ops 1-3 are about on the same level of interest and game-play for me. More or less tolerable plot, albeit with frequent silly moments. More or less good shooter, but with bag skill system. This game looked very "sugary and trimmed down", unlike the rest of the series.

    I'm wondering at the amount of massive negative scores. This game is not too bad or ugly, just yet another generic FPS shooter.
    The storyline so much worse than in BO or BO2, but in endgame becomes more interesting
    Visual is ok, even for 2k19

    Continued amazing series of Black Ops I was absolutely not expecting this. I think many did not expect this to continue. Doubt crept in since the announcement - the game has a cooperative. But co-op kills the narrative. The plot in Black Ops 1 and 3 was intriguing and crazy, the characters were wonderful.

    In the story it turned out better than I expected. The plot is very ambitious, but unfortunately it's not an RPG, and the writers failed in a shooter to submit a clever plot. What happened in the end we can only guess, as the writers gave us enough clues to get a complete picture.

    Gameplay with the last part changed, mainly because of the abilities is a good find and nicely dilutes the gameplay. It is a pity that combining styles is possible too late level. A lot to pass this game not everyone wants such a sad story (sad for Call of Duty series and Black Ops). I especially missed you at the stages when you need to gradually destroy the robots is boring.

    The multiplayer in the beta I really liked. On release, he was absolutely unplayable because of the lag and terrible ping. Repaired it for a very long time, and now to play it is not even desirable. Zambi the regime has become more entertaining, since we are in the unusual setting, and this mode is fun as usual. Although, why should it play, if there are more good games for shooting zombies.

    Black Ops 3 is not a sequel, which I shook. For Treyarch it is a huge step back. Graphics are surprisingly bad, much worse than in Advanced Warfare. Why you can recommend? In the story there are interesting locations, a bit of surrealism, very good gameplay - a fun run around, kill everyone, and move on to use abilities.    … Expand

    The story that Call of Duty: Black Ops III tries to offer the complicatedness expected from a Black Ops game, but the way Treyarch delivers such attraction is just as unappealing as its missed potentials and horrific optimization.

If your a cod fan then the game might be worth it, but for me, it was a complete waste of 60 quid… Expand

    Another AAA game with severe technical issues?! Wow, just... wow. How this stuff continues to get released is baffling, and completely unacceptable. The game itself is decent if you can run it properly. It adds a few new, interesting things, but ultimately doesn't expand beyond what we expect from a typical COD game.

    Having been a bit out of the gaming loop as of late, and having some friends that played this game, I decided to check it out. I was enticed at first, but I quickly became bored. I first played the zombies mode, which brought about an interesting premise but as a casual player i really couldn't get much farther than about the sixth level, which made it frustrating.

I first played the zombies mode, which brought about an interesting premise but as a casual player i really couldn't get much farther than about the sixth level, which made it frustrating. Especially because zombies has become less of an amusing arcade mode and actually features a narrative, which I'd really like to experience, but cannot because I lack hours to devote to a game that starts over when you die.
    This brings me to the campaign, which I have always thought to be CoD's most redeeming aspect. This was a really lazily developed story that had some fun parts, and dealt with some interesting Ideas that, if properly synthesized, could have made a decent experience. It just didn't though. In my opinion CoD is just too far in the future now to create a well grounded story. They try to provide the thrill of Geopolitical turmoil, but since you know next to nothing about the pieces at play, the political side of the game is just really flat. BO3 is also fettered by a cruddy customization system that leaves you finishing the campaign far below your potential. Not that it matters much because the objectives pretty much consist of running over here, running over there, (on a wall this time), and flying this way. Pouring as much ammunition as possible into whatever bullet sponge of an enemy thats shooting at you right now. Basically all your enemies are robots now, so you have to shoot everything twice as much.
    As for the most popular part of the CoD experience, multiplayer can be fun, but its mostly just a matter of fast movement. As a casual gamer, i started out just getting demolished by a bunch of experienced players with extremely fast awareness and reflexes. It is more or less a matter of who sees who first, because all elements of fps tacticality have been all but eliminated. This sounds like a joke, but its actually impossible to check corners or use angles to your advantage in any way because of the map design. It can sometimes be enjoyable, but after playing the battlefield beta, this multiplayer, and really this whole game are a largely pleasureless experience for me.    … 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.
