    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.

    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%)

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.

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.

    Since this review is made in 2021, the multiplayer is completely dead and the story is complete garbage. But the zombies, on pc, with all the mods... Makes the game a masterpiece within the series. Buy this game for the zombies and just forget everything else.

    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 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.

    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.

    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.

    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?

    Call of Duty Black Ops III
    Probably the most complete game in the series
    We all play call of duty games for different reasons, and all of those reasons are present in black ops 3, theres zombies mode for the gamer girls and teenage boys with 14 different maps to get your wave mode on, theres multiplayer with its jetpacks and sliding and wall climbing with all of the classic modes, pretty decent maps, but theres a destiny like addition with these moves you can pull of tht recharge as you play through the match, and there are multiple different moves for you to choose from to change strategies fo different match types.. I don’t really have much to say about the multiplayer because its not really what I play for, its fun, its addictive. But im here for the campaign which is where this special move is pulled from…
    And I was pleasantly surprised with what we get here with black ops 3..
    This isn’t my favorite campaign in the series, but I feel this campaign is by far the coolest.. it doesn’t even feel like a call of duty campaign, this could’ve easily been a standalone ip as it tells the story of man vs machine, and this campaign is a hefty 10 hours long give or take depending on the difficulty, I played half of the campaign on easy and half of it on hard..
    And this campaign does so many cool things..
    at the beginning of the store a robot just rips you apart so you spend the rest of the game as an augmented human, but of course the agments and the dni is being messed with, controlling the minds of your comrads, you spend the game trying to get to the bottom of this…
    With these augments youre able to do crazy things, each mission you cn choose if you want moves for control, chaos, or combat.. I played mostly with chaos as I felt there was an equal balance of attacks I could use against humans as well as robots, also It allows you to unleash these fireflied that eat the humans in your wy and you get to sing the fireflies song while they do that..
    but there are multiple ways you can playthrough this campaign thanks to these controls, such as hackig everything and taking control watch dogs style if youd like…
    the first half of the campaign I felt to be pretty soulless though..
    I felt like I was really just going through the motions.. but as the story goes on things just get weirder and weirder an I would have to stop myself to remind myself that this is indeed a call of duty game..
    and a war vs robots.. they play with illusions and memories here, its nice to see that the team was let of the leash and allowed to be free, and they crated something truly unique..
    Though this campaign does suffer pacing problems and annoyances if you are playing on higher difficulties..
    Checkpoints can be infuriating at times and theres this giant wall of garbage in the final chapter that I just couldn’t take anymore on hard because of its infinite spawning drones and robots.. this mission felt completely unbalanced for the difficulty, its jus just not fun or fair to have infinite drones that can kill you in 1 or 2 his while youre trying to weaken a larger enemy yards away to get in one rocket shot at a time with no progress being saved while you do this.. on top of that friendly fire is on and your team mates will run in front of you instantly failing the mission..
    I just didn’t have the patience AFTER CHIPPING away at this mission for what was at least an hour…
    though this was the only section of the game that I found to be unfair and unbalanced..
    I didn’t necessarily have fun with this campaign, but I ultimately appreciate it for trying new things
    showing players that call of duty is its buttery smooth shooting more than its military focus don’t get me wrong, this is still a military based campaign.. but its so far in the background that you hardly notice, I wouldn’t mind if call of duty contined to let one of its teams play around with its campaigns like it did here and actually step away from military a but, I dubt that would happen, but with this game I see the possibility..

    Сингл был пройден мной на старте. Могу сказать сразу, не ждите очевидной связи между Black Ops 2 и 3, но она все же есть. Вначале ваc сразу кидает в гущу событий пост-фактум, нет прописанного лора или в принципе хоть какого-то намека на начало конфликта, только маленькая часть предыстории касательно противо-воздушных орудий. Однако вот такой медленный старт сюжета превращается быстро, даже внезапно в один из лучших сюжетов в истории Call of Duty. Это один из лучших кибер-панков, который я наблюдал, сопоставимый с Экспериментами Ллейн по степени проработки. Да, сюжет мне омрачила исключительно русская озвучка, но после просмотра прохождения на английском, я понял, это реально один из лучших сюжетов в колде. + боссы, вы не ослышались, в этой игре есть подобие боссов и полноценный кооп, как в World at War, мое почтение Treyarch, вы смогли.
    Графически эта игра лучше чем недавно вышедшая WWII. Отдельно я хочу отметить катсцены и локацию, которая просто сносит башню - Frozen Forest. Не буду спойлерить, эта локация шедевр, ее нужно пережить и прочувствовать.
    Мультиплеер - параша как и в любой колде и я даже не собираюсь его оценивать, единственное что хочу отметить, можно забавно троллить игроков подпрыгивая и самоубиваясь с помощью ракетницы, попутно убивая врага. Выглядит это действительно забавно, особенно когда это киллкам последнего убийства в раунде.
    Давайте подводить итоги. Трейарч забожили в своей серии WaW-BO-BO2-BO3 и BO3 это квинтэссенция Call of Duty, да я субъективен, я люблю качественный и мощный киберпанк. 1010

    But while all of this is nice, the eternal question facing me when I’m playing a game is “am I having fun?” And when I was playing this game, for much of its length, my response to that would be “Kind of?” at best.

    This is a game I put down for a year between playing the first three missions and completing the game. That isn’t to say I didn’t try to play it again; I remember picking it up about four months after putting it down, deciding to replay the second (tutorial) mission because I’d forgotten the controls, then doing so again several months later, because both times, while I had beaten the tutorial mission again, I just sort of didn’t feel terribly compelled to play the rest of the game.

    Indeed, I think it is safe to say that the only reason why I actually bothered beating this game is because it was eating up over 90 gigs of hard drive space, and thus, if I ever was going to beat it, I’d better do it now, because there was no way I was going to redownload it.

    And this is kind of telling, I think. I had to make myself play through the game, and while it was never actually bad, it was never really compelling, either. There were lots of pretty battles in exploding and falling apart places - in fact, every single level after the first two missions features at least some part of the level falling apart around you, and some of the later levels, the whole level is falling apart around you. This trick gets a bit old after a while, doubly so as these are never actually threatening – I never once had the level fall apart under me and actually kill me, despite the game trying to seem threatening about it.

    And this sort of faux spectacle held through much of the game – there were a lot of theoretically spectacular battles, but almost the entire game consisted of fighting just some dudes with guns or robots with guns, dressed up to try and look pretty. But I wanted the gameplay to be pretty too, and despite the fact that you can double jump and run on the walls, this was almost never useful in actual combat.

    This is, I think, a big part of what made the game feel dull – you are a cybernetic supersoldier, but throughout the game, just a few bullets will kill you, forcing you to retreat to cover and gradually shoot out from it. This is not a game with click-to-cover mechanics – you have to organically take cover behind environment objects by moving/ducking/going prone behind them and then shifting around to take potshots before retreating – but in the end, it doesn’t matter much. Most of the game is spent hiding in cover, trying to avoid getting shot while your health regenerates, and almost every battle is fought in this exact same way.

    This is a big problem, because it means that, for all the set dressing, the core of the game is pretty samey. There’s only a few battles where a boss (of which there are a couple) will actually either destroy the environment around you or move around to force you to react, and a small number of setpiece battles where enemies move to flank you or appear from various directions, forcing you to react.

    Most of the time, you can just sit behind cover, shoot people, then go back to the cover while you regain your health, making it feel like a pretty standard FPS. Your cool cybernetic movement enhancements are only occaisionally useful in battle, and then, it is mostly just jumping up to a higher level, rather than making your way around the environment in an agile manner and raining down death on your foes while running along walls.

    This lack of dynamicism carries over to the powers as well – in theory, the cybernetic powers are supposed to make you feel different from a standard soldier. Some were reminiscent of the plasmids from the Bioshock series.

    But ultimately, these largely weren’t that interesting in actual gameplay. The problem was that a lot of them ultimately trivialized encounters. Fireflies, for instance, would fly out and set enemies on fire and distract them from firing – a very powerful ability, that only took a few seconds to recharge after it had run. I used this power through much of the campaign. But the problem was it was never really fun to use; I’d use the power, duck behind cover, then move out and shoot people (who mostly died anyway due to the fireflies, no further involvement necessary from me).

    All in all, this is a game that I never felt like I needed to play. It was not terrible, but it was never great, and when I walked away from it, I never felt like I was missing anything.

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.

Right off the bat, you have no clue who the good or bad guys are or why you're doing what you're doing, or even what the game tries to tell you is happening. As the plot gets clearer though, it becomes obvious how derivative and pedestrian it is. Treyarch delivers the story with totally misplaced bombast and freighted with emotion and meaning as if you haven't seen this stuff many times before in other games and film. The final mission, with your character railing and ranting is particularly cringe worthy. This is by far the worst Call of Duty I have ever played.

    Also, the music is terrible. I had all sorts of technical issues, like your gun not producing any sound, crashes to desktop, this a year after release. What a piece of ****

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.

    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.

Treyark has really become their own and I find their CoD installments have much better quality and ingenuity in general than Activision's. I've noticed that Activision has been adopting a lot of Treyark originals like Zombies, enhanced abilities and futuristic weaponry over the years.

    While the CoD multiplayer is essentially just more of the same, the campaign is very well done. You won't find the notorious CoD element of endlessly spawning enemies that basically force you to always be charging through gun fire in order to advance. Instead BO3 offers well designed levels with engaging fire fight environments and some rather neat extras. The super human jumping, running and special abilities are very well done and I personally find it much more fun than Advanced Warfare's titanfall mechanics.

    All in all, anyone who's bored silly of the CoD experience isn't going to find anything exceptional in BO3. But to anyone who's still got a bit of the CoD spirit in them, I highly recommend BO3 for the overall improved combat, characters and level design. Also the the game is well optimized and runs at steady frame rate.

    (As a side note I found a couple of the voice actors a bit lacking in their performance, but for the most part the voice acting is quite good).

    My biggest beef was with the gameplay. The story was interesting, and had just enough of a twist that I saw coming but didn't mind when it happened. But....some of these missions are HELLA long!!! Literally spent almost 45 minutes on a single mission in campaign...now while many will ask "you want a short game then?"....no. I don't want short, but at the same time, having a single run last almost an hour is a bit much.

    The AI difficulty needs to be looked at as well. Even running through the campaign the first time on "I'm a wimp" mode, I was still finding myself regularly getting dead. Mostly from the robots in the game. And don't even get me started on the assault on the last mission. ENDLESS WAVES OF ROBOTS between you and your objective to simply hack a door.

    All in all though, it was fairly solid. Will I be playing it again? Maybe in a few months when I get bored of World of Warships or something else. Until then...I will go back to Mass Effect 2.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Estaba muy ilusionado con este CoD, sobre todo por quien lo hace, acostumbrados a sus buenos ports para PC como Black Ops 2. Pero es una vergüenza lo mal optimizado que está y el lag que hay siempre, seas host o no, es habitual ver +100 de ping en la mayoría de usuarios en partida, da igual que conexión tengas, 1 mb o 300 mb...y ya que haya que tenre un pc con +8GB para que vaya estable en la mayoría de casos, es una pasada. Ni The Witcher 3...

    Luego, lo he probado con mi portátil con una 840m un i7 y 8GB de Ram, con el que corro BF4 en Ultra a 768p y +30 fps y si lo bajo a medios +60 fps sin problemas... y aquí tengo que bajar la resolución a 720p y rescalado a 600p para que vaya estable a 35fps con todo en bajo. Lo dicho, vergonzoso, y más aún habiendo tenido 3 años de desatollo y una beta pública casi 3 semanas entre todas las plataformas.

    Sin contar todo esto, y hablando solo del juego... pienso lo que pensé en la beta: hemos visto los mejores mapas y el resto estoy seguro que serán muy genéricos y pasilleros. Con el 4º mapa de la beta ''stronghold'' se empezaron a cumplieron mis sospechas, y ahora con la salida del juego se terminan de confirmar... mapas ratoneros llenos de ventanas y huecos, perfectos para Camperos. Solo 3 o 4 se salvan en mi opinión (Combine, Evac, Hunted y Nuk3town) y uno de ellos es de bonus por reserva y reciclado de los otros dos Black Ops. Sin contar todas las cosas ue tienes para guarrear: minas trampas y eléctricas, poder ver las huellas de los enemigos, mira térmica para camperos, sexto sentido para ver en el mini mapa sin uav cuando tienes enemigos cercanos, armas que no hace falta ni apuntar para matar... da puto asco.

    3/10 por el modo zombis que es divertido y la campaña que es entretenida y rejugable (cuando te la pasas una vez te la puedes pasar una segunda con una historia un poco diferente mezclando zombis). El resto, BASURA.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I picked up the game a few months after its release and had a difficult time adjusting to the new game mechanics of thrusting but after getting better at it I enjoy the new challenges with attacking and defending given the new physics. I'm only talking about the multiplayer portion as I haven't tried the story mode or zombies mode, they don't really interest me as I prefer the challenge of playing against human opponents. After purchasing the game I saw there was a brief sale offering only the multiplayer portion of the game and I wish that I would have had this purchase option from the get go. There is a limited player base for PC and I wish they would offer the multiplayer only so as to increase the player base or perfect cross platform play so PC players could play against Xbox and/or Playstation players. Another issue I have is that instead of showing how many players are active in the BO3 they show a percentage of total players active in a particular game mode.
    Another issue of contention is scarcity of special one-shot kill weapons that can only be obtained by crates. I think I know why they chose to do this-scarcity increases demand which caused people to either purchase COD points or play longer in order to be able to get more crates. However, it is very frustrating to continually play and get killed by the over powered special weapons meanwhile continually striking out on receiving the special weapons. I'm not going to purchase COD points - I feel that micro transactions such as these are unethical and the creators of the game should be ashamed of themselves. You are taking advantage of peoples addictive behavior in order to deprive them of money and enrich yourselves in the process. Maybe that's a metaphor for the capitalist paradigm we live in and it's certainly a first world problem. You know this has got me thinking. I'm going to sell everything I own and join the peace corp. Thanks for helping wake me up economic inequalities in the world Treyarch.

    [PRESENTATION =4]
    (Graphics = 4) Whatever “tweaks” have supposedly been applied over the years, it still looks like it’s running on an unchanged 2007 CoD4 engine. It takes up 60 gigabytes but looks no better than CoD4 at 8 gig.
    (Visual aesthetics = 3) The problem with futuristic is that, like MW3 and BlOps2, this just seems sort of bland. I preferred the realism of CoD4:MW, CoD:WaW, and CoD:BlOps1.
    (Sound Effects = 6)
    (Voice Acting = 6)
    (Physics = 2) Bizarrely, CoD continues to program in ragdoll physics but then strangles it by having it activate only after the same stupid pre-animated deaths as before, totally missing the point of ragdoll physics, which is to provide infinite fun ways to watch bodies gib and collapse. Worse, half the enemies are robots that don’t ragdoll at all.
    Worse, the CoD4 engine has always been very static: almost no background objects react to gunfire. By comparison, games like Stranglehold really make you feel powerful when you have a real, physics-based impact on the world every time your bullets miss.
    (Plot = 4) Skippable after it loads.

    [CONTROLS/MECHANICS = 8]
    (95% First-Person Shooter = 8)
    CoD BlOps3 has the same polished movement and firing scheme as past iterations. Aside from the Halo system, this is the best joystick-controlled shooting you can find, and it’s probably the best mouse-controlled FPS system if you prefer playing that way. It works without doing anything new. But the guns aren't that interesting, even compared to past CoD's; it’s pretty much just machine guns. You have your choice of a recharging “power” (i.e. hack one turret/enemy vs. bee swarm, etc.) but it doesn’t change much, and you can see enemies behind walls once highlighted, which is kind of cool. At least, unlike CoD:Ghosts, you can actually toggle nightvision on/off whenever you want.
    The thing is, the first-person-shooter as a genre is hardly dead. There are plenty of ways to make it interesting: fun weapons like Painkiller or Bulletstorm; destructible cover and environments like Red Faction or Battlefield:Bad Company; intelligent enemy AI like Half Life; enemies that blow up interestingly like Binary Domain; destroying enemy attack options with careful aim like Resident Evil 4 or Dead Space; or, giant Shadow-of-the-Collossus-like enemies like MGS:Peace Walker. And that's not even talking about combining FPS with other genres (like Deus Ex) or bogging it down with walking-simulator levels (like BioShock).
    Instead of innovation, we have the 8th expansion-pack to the 9-year-old CoD4.
    (5% Platforming = 8) The new change, slightly modified from CoD:MW3 (and ripped off of Titanfall), is the ability to jetpack double-jump and wall-run. It works pretty well, and adds a lot to the online multiplayer and certain sections of the single-player campaign, but it’s not a replacement for Mirror’s Edge.
    (Camera = 5)
    (Physics = 3)
    (Friendly AI = 5)
    (Enemy AI = 6) About half the enemies are robotic killdroids, which unlike the human enemies, can stand there and take a lot of punishment, which encourages taking cover more regularly. Whether this improves or aggravates is a matter of personal preference.

    [DESIGN = 8]
    (Menus = 5) The 3D home base you walk around in is a wasted concept for what should have been a simple menu.
    (Level Design = 7) It’s a linear corridor shooter, but you don’t get lost.
    (Difficulty Curve = 7) Regular checkpoints & co-operative players can revive you.
    (Upgrade System = 5)
    (Modes = Singleplayer/2-player splitscreen Cooperative campaign (10 hours, 0% padding), 2 Singleplayer/4-player cooperative Zombie horde campaigns (?), Competitive Multiplayer)
    BlOps3 does something commendable I haven't seen in an FPS in a long, long time: Splitscreen Co-Op on the PC version. I play alot of local multiplayer, and when we play FPS's that usually means Unreal Tournament 3 (4-player via hidden console commands) or Left-For-Dead 2 (2-player via hidden console commands). Serious Sam 3 is the only AAA-franchise PC FPS I'm aware of where the splitscreen is built-in and not hidden. When Halo 1 and 2 hit PC, Microsoft actually disabled the splitscreen that was already coded into the Xbox versions. Heck, Halo5 no longer offers even console splitscreen, even though fans would assuredly accept halving the supposedly restrictive 60 frames-per-sec to 30 during a co-op mode. For all the vitriol CoD games typically get, everyone should be encouraging this trend at least.
    Online multiplayer is fun, although I doubt it will still be populated in a year, and I prefer CoD4 online. I never touched the Zombies modes because shooting at slow unarmed enemies always bored me, even in co-op.

    [CONCLUSION]
    For all of my criticisms, mainly about the lack of improvements, I had an absolute blast playing through the splitscreen campaign with my friend and I recommend it mainly for that purpose.

    Dull & buggy game released almost like a TV-show in every fu**king year. Nothing innovative, nothing new. Just another boring shooter game & multiplayer is the same garbage as always. 2/10 would be suitable rating for this game.

    (Note: I am writing this in March, 5 months after release for the Xbox 1.) The worst game I have ever bought. So broken it hard crashes ever few matches.

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

    Any score I give this game is only due to the campaign which I really enjoyed. So much so that I wish I could review them separately, in which case I would rate the campaign a 6 and the multiplayer a 0. But since i can't, the multiplayer makes this overall the worst Call of Duty game I have ever bought.

    The advanced movement is garbage, done much better by Titanfall, and everything

    The advanced movement is garbage, done much better by Titanfall, and everything wrong with CoD as a series is actually worse in this game.

    Lag issues, poor matchmaking... The trolls from previous games are now owning in this one, since the gameplay seems catered to what used to be considered trolling.

    Overall, you could find a LOT better ways to spend your money.

    It's Call of Duty so of course the user score is unjustly low and you should ignore it as it's not reflective of the quality of the game at all.

    I have played every game in the series on the PC and Black Ops III is definitely one of the best in recent years, and probably in the top 5 of all time. I have absolutely no issues with performance, running the game on high at 120fps 99.9% of

I have absolutely no issues with performance, running the game on high at 120fps 99.9% of the time (i5 3570k @ 4.4GHz / GTX 970) and the anti cheat works much better than what's used by Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer Games, so the amount of blatant cheating is minimal in comparison. If you enjoy Call of Duty and have a decent computer you will enjoy Black Ops III, but if you dislike the series in general it won't change your mind.

    It's mechanics and gameplay are fun...I guess.But it took me about an hour to get this thing going because of some driver issues.
    Overall , don't buy this ,please.

    And omg the servers are even worse, with people lagging like hell. ( by the way i have a cable 200mb symmetric connection).

    This is the worse COD on the series. Even ghosts is a marvelous wonder if you compare both games.

    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 should have created one awesome sci-fi campaign instead of three mediocre ones.

    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.
