    Absolute abomination of a game. There is no innovation, and most ideas are ripped straight out of previous games. The campaign is laughably bad !! The multi-player maps are uninspired. On top of that, there are tons of glitches. Quit buying this and play some better games. Click on my name to see the games that are actually worth playing. Quit giving these incompetent lazy devs your money.

I checked system requirements, local files integrity, display driver and so on, none of it helps, worse still the when I try to connect online services it throws a weird non-human readable error code as if there IS no fail back scenario provisioned.

    Same **** every year, they need to stop making these crappy, unfinished, glitchy, boring games.
    I am TIRED of cod. What is this? They just slapped black ops 3 on advanced warfare 2 so people would buy it. they are money-hungry whores. There is NO innovation, juts nothing whatsoever.

    Crap ops 3, terrible Game. I hope they get bankrupt since CoD is dead since MW2. But they obviously didn't learnt from their releases and just keep doing Crap of duty after crap of duty.

    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.

    Badly optimized for PC...stuttering completely wrecks the experience.
    I would not recommend getting this game...and look at the "verified" reviewers reviews.

    At the time of writing this had 2 80+ reviews and 1 90+ review.
    Obviously paid for, but don't fall for it...DO NOT GET THIS GAME.

    I love Black Ops II and I played too much time but III so bad don't buy.CoD BO II was good game. But this? Boring with "excelent" optimization. And it is really ugly game, that try copy good things from other games like Titanfall etc. One thing, that i say. Dont buy it. Ugly textures, stupid maps of 2000. And campaing? Just stupid

    This is one of the worst call of duty ever. I don't understand how the critics rate it 8/10? The franchise is going backward, gone are the days when $1b sales were expected. Now the company probably doesn't even make $100m, thus sales figures are not public anymore. It's sad how the game is going down the drain.

    Worst COD ever! where's the epic story? awful control, awful graphics, it feels like i'm playing ultimate spiderman! are you kidding me? this is not what we expected after COD Ghost and COD Advanced Warefare.... Seriously? why all developers intend to fail after huge success? to end this review i'd like to say that COD Black Ops 3 is like a bad marriage between counter strike and Borderlands

Even if the game was completely fixed from the host of bugs and poor netcode it would only be average at best. The story line is so bad I quit before I finished it. The multiplayer is so rinse and repeat it feels like you are playing the same maps over and over even though there are 12. Serious weapon balance issues. Movement options they copied and pasted from other games don't add to the game in a meaningful way they just speed up the pace on maps that are already too small and too chaotic. Copied and pasted the specialists from Destiny and they make it even easier for noobs to get free kills. Scorestreaks are weak and expensive. They implemented drop box random reward system again but promised they wouldn't put anything but cosmetics in there. Then they put new weapons in there and the odds are incredibly stacked against you earning them the natural way so you have to pay for it. Not to mention you are still using the 1996 Quake engine. Total garbage in every category.… Expand

Fighting a robot army that are bullet sponges and stupid ASP units that need bullets then missiles to take down? Like who the hell comes up with this crap? people remember the last 15 minutes of any experience and the final 2 hours of this game is the most infuriating experience so the designers can make this crappy game last longer.

    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.
