    User Score 2.7? Really... This is what we've come to on Metacritic?? OK I think it's officially time for metacritic to get rid of the User Reviews. It shows how stupid we've become as a society...

    This game's solo campaign was better than Call of Duty has any right to be.

    I'll admit right away that I like the solo campaigns of this series, but I always expected a good spectacle and a fun (if dumb) plot at best. Instead, this year we got a game that's out there, among Bioshock, Spec Ops: The Line, Metro: Last Lights and the likes; One of the most intelligent stories I ever experienced in an FPS game. It feels more like a well-written action spin-off of Deus Ex rather than another CoD. It might seem borderline nonsensical at times near the end, but if you read between the lines (quite literally) and give it some thought, it's perfectly logical (albeit with multiple interpretations available). All of this is mixed with the top-notch spectacle you'd expect from this series; Just this time there's some real substance beyond all the explosions.

    Add good visuals, some great music, and, what's more important, surprisingly good gameplay. The player movement is extremely fluid, cyber powers useful and fun to use, enemies engaging. Yes, enemies - For once, CoD introduced varied enemy types that make the gameplay much more varied and demanding. Oh, and did I mention this game has boss battles?... I'll say that again: Call of Duty has boss battles.

    The campaign is surprisingly long and replayable. Even more, finishing it unlocks a new game + mode with a different storyline and slightly different missions. Add to that the most fleshed out (and fun as always) Zombies mode yet that just reeks with character and the best multiplayer the series has seen since a long time. Sure, it borrows heavily from Titanfall, but more than makes up for that with decent balance, fun maps, tons of content, and the (nowadays obligatory) addition of unique heroes that add some flavour to the games.

    Yes, the game did get its share of technical issues at launch (many of which were fixed within the first 24 hours after the release), and the jigsaw plot combined with strongly modified gameplay can feel alienating for old fans of the series, but give this game a chance. For the singleplayer alone, it is worth it.

    PS. It is incredibly amusing to see people praising Bioshock Infinite for having a complex storyline, and then bashing Black Ops 3 as "incomprehensible gibberish" for doing the exact same thing. It is almost as if our expectations towards games define their quality, and not the games themselves. If it's Bioshock, it has to have a deeper meaning, if it's CoD, it has to be stupid nonsense. I wish people would be more open-minded than that.    … Expand

    К Black Ops 3 можно относится очень вариативно, так как мнений по этой игре скопилось очень много. Мое личное мнение будет немного субъективно.

    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    … Expand

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.

Everyone knows COD is the worst gaming community when it comes to the genre, so take their reviews with a grain of salt. We all should know this by now.
    It's COD, what'd you expect?! They've got a lot of new elements to the game, it seems to run and feel solid both graphically and responsive to controls. I haven't had any of the issues that the others are talking about. One guy didn't even play it after messing with the settings for 2hrs...but gave it a 1 or something like that. Hateful community!!
    As I've stated...It's COD, it's going to look, feel and sound like COD, but I like the new elements they threw into it. Last COD I played was BO2, so maybe take that into consideration. It's a good game and I feel I got what I paid for, but I also knew what to expect....I wasn't blown away, but definitely better than what I had expected.

    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.

    I do not like multiplayer. I bought the game for the single player experience. I thought the graphics and game play were very good. It also had some interesting weapons.

    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..

    I don't know why people hate this game so much. It is another Call Of Duty tittle so not much has changed but it is still way better that Advanced Warfare and it can't be compared to the absolute disater Ghosts. The game offers a lot of content, from guns to perks to specialists. I would give it a third spot in the franchise ,right after Black Ops 2 and COD 4: MW.

    I'm not a fan of CoD. I play CS:GO and Warframe and Ghost Recon Phantoms and Halo. I enjoy tactical play, but a bit of illogical play too. I've never put more than 40 or 50 hours in a CoD game before. I'm telling you this, so people don't call me a fanboy, because I the polar opposite.

    MY SCORE IS BASED ON IF THE PROBLEMS WITH MULTIPLAYER GET FIXED. First off, I just want to get this    I'm not a fan of CoD. I play CS:GO and Warframe and Ghost Recon Phantoms and Halo. I enjoy tactical play, but a bit of illogical play too. I've never put more than 40 or 50 hours in a CoD game before. I'm telling you this, so people don't call me a fanboy, because I the polar opposite.

    MY SCORE IS BASED ON IF THE PROBLEMS WITH MULTIPLAYER GET FIXED.

    First off, I just want to get this off my mind. This game is graphically intensive, and it should be. We're at a time where graphics and gameplay are a huge deal, and we're at the 2+ GB VRAM requirement for these new AAA games. This game maxed out on 1080p hit 4+ VRAM usage on the CAMPAIGN (I have a gtx 970, so i ran a couple functions at medium and high instead of extra). I was pushing 3+ GB VRAM usage in multiplayer on higher end graphics. I do realize there are some performance issues for even gtx 980 ti for this game, but thy should be cleared soon with a couple of patches coming in.

    Another year, another CoD. However this time, we're back to Black Ops. And man it feels good. After the past 2 sub-par games (well, Ghosts was a tragedy), Black Ops 3 picks back up the seemingly dying franchise. Campaign is actually interesting and has damn good twists and secrets (as are the other Black Ops). And having a second campaign is a good addition, and its kind of creepy. And for the people confused by the campaign: Please stop thinking black ops is a mindless shooter fps storyline. Use your brains, and stop mocking the game if you can't "read between the lines" or if you're not willing to think for once (I know I'm being offensive, but it's frustrating to know that this good story is belittled by people who cannot use their brains. There's so much to this story!)

    Zombies? I don't know, since I'm actually afraid of zombies and I haven't played it (ya I'm a wimp, deal with it). But it looks different from the others.

    Multiplayer provides smoother play than the last 2 really fast paced CoD games. And hell, it may be a bit similar in terms of Titanfall parkour, but hey, it isn't a bad addition. And the maps are back to the 3-lanes design, as I believe they should be. HOWEVER, we are having MAJOR performance issues with the game, and the wave of hackers that every fps game has. BUT PEOPLE, THE GAME CAME OUT RECENTLY!!! GIVE TREYARCH SOME TIME FOR PATCHES! And you do realize that Treyarch is giving us PC players modding tools, an exclusive to us only! Funny thing is, this kind of negativity is present on so many new games that have recently come out (cough cough Witcher 3, Dragon Age, Fallout 4). Give the developers some slack. Standards for quality games are rising every year, and game developers put in so much time and money for these games to keep us players happy. There will be bugs and glitches at release. It's inevitable, but as players start pointing out these errors, the developers will make patches. So please people, give some time, and the major problems will be gone.

    All in all, I enjoy this game. Whether I want to lay off some steam, want some mindless shooting, or just want to relax, this game is worth it. I will try out SnD soon, and hopefully it plays as tactically as CS:GO.

    Multiplayer:

    Gunplay: It's yet more of Advanced Warfare except now horribly mutilated. The maps are small and full of obstacles deliberately placed to promote close range SMG shootouts over long range shots. Moreover, maps went from 3D to 3Lane, introducing lots of obstructions, headglitch spots and long corridors lined by invisible walls. Adding to that, all the weapons have been made a lot more precise and most SMGs are quite effective at 50 metres, rendering proper sniping moot. The FMJ attachment is supposed to improve penetration but any given obstacle being penetratable at all is wildly inconsistent. The movement mechanics, again, are, in a sense, more limited than in AW but with the shrunken maps they are more than enough.

    Scorestreaks: Instead of customizable scorestreaks from AW (a great improvement) there are now lots of one-trick vehicles which can be easily shot down with a few launcher missiles. No more map-specific scorestreaks either. Overall this feels like a great step back.

    Special abilities: Specialist abilities are just different from Exo-abilities. You no longer start with a full charge each life but rather charge it over time and score. On the other hand, specialist weapons tend to be a lot more destructive than anything else and some abilities are great for clutch plays.

    Overall: I would say that Black Ops 3 feels very forced. The borderline synthetic map design and weapon equalization waste the potential gained from what was fixed. And the whole "More like the classics" design idea doesn't work well with the futuristic wall running and explosive bows.

    Single Player: The campaign is not good. There are lots of fan theories explaining it all and creating a sensible timeline and plot but actually playing the campaign is not enjoyable. It's a disjointed experience devoid of really great moments or a global plot arc. More than anything, it's full of frustratingly stupid decisions made by every character without any player agency (since it's not an RPG, obviously).

    Zombies: Instead of a typical horde mode Zombies becomes an obscure adventure-like experience where you have to collect artifacts, perform rituals and do all sorts of songs and dances that have nothing to do with actual shooting. The biggest indicator of this is the "have one player kite the last zombie around while the other three are doing the item collection/beast transformation/easter egg completion" tradition. Is it fun? Maybe. Is it in line with the rest of the game? Not so much.

    And last but not the least, PC-specific issues: At the moment of writing several weapons are downright imbalanced, like Drakon, the semi-auto sniper rifle that is a 2-hit kill at any range, has very little recoil and can be shot repeatedly for quite some time due to a 28-round magazine. The server quality, at least in EU (and, I think, Australia too) is downright unacceptable with random disconnects and horrible lag and rubberbanding issues a lot of the time. Many bugs and absent features too, like mouse inversion when aiming scorestreaks by tablet, lack of separate control for ADS mouse sensitivity and the like. The matchmaking is somewhat questionable, mixing good players with all sorts of other players.

    Although Treyarch/Activision might get a solid B for effort, the post-release support and communication are almost absent. If it stays this way, the game might not hold its own on PC for very long.    … Expand

    [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.    … Expand

    Zombies I tried them a few times and seems like the best zombie experience to date, though I have to fully explore all the settings in any case well polished mode.
    Multiplayer is kinda of weird. First I have a lot of problems in aiming, due to the high mobility of all the players, so many times I'm going around just with hip fire. There are problems of lag although you can finally see your ping by pressing Tab, still something doesn't feel right and I guess they will optimized the netcode because some times is infuriating to shoot and not kill with a full clip and to be killed with few shots.
    Multiplayer maps (like always) I quite forgettable apart from 2-3 and unfortunately BO2 maps were much better at launch, still they need to sell DLC so I'm not surprised any more.
    Weird is that the thing AW made right (maybe one of the only ones) was the verticality of the maps, in this game there really unexplainable walls and you want to go across them but you cannot and it's stupid and limits the movement of the maps.
    Technically speaking we finally see some colors specially yellow, and the lighting is well done, some textures are bland and dunno if it is for the graphics card (MSI 970) or the game itself. In any case they are nice, still they could do better for a next gen title. Keep in mind that this is probably a porting from the consoles, so they will always based the game on their perfomances.
    To conlcude, BO3 is a huge game is terms of content, you will play for a long time if you interested in the mechanics of a fast-paced multiplayer with typical series lag problematics, forgettable campaign and awesome zombie mode.

    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.

    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

    As you can see from the user score, a lot of people don't seem to like this game. Mostly due to the bad PC port (which they have since fixed) and the graphics (they wanted to create a game that could run on 2gb cards so everyone could play). I'm here to tell you that the game isn't that bad.

I'm here to tell you that the game isn't that bad. It's not a game I'd call "legendary" by any means, but it's not another Ride to Hell: Retribution like everyone is calling it.

    -Graphics and port job-
    I will admit, at release, this game ran like a slideshow on high end pc's. Now after NUMEROUS patches, the game runs flawlessly. I always ran above 60+ fps maxed out 1080p on a lower end pc (AMD FX-6300 and Radeon 7970). They clearly took the time to fix their mistakes and create a good running game now.

    -Story-
    The story is... ok at best. It's another one of those "robots kill humans" and "terrorist" plots that you see every other game. It's not really worth the play if you want to play campaign. It's clear that the focus was on the other gamemodes and NOT the story.
    One thing that I do like is the fact that it is multiplayer. If you want, you can go through the whole campaign with your friends. It'll get a few laughs out of you and your friends playing, even if it is cheesy.

    -Zombies-
    One. Map. ONE. MAP. Seriously, GimmieMoneyArch? Yup. There's only one map. Unless you buy the $50 season pass to fuel their Lamborghinis as they swim in money, you only get one map. The season pass isn't even that good right now, it just comes with The Giant from World at War with some updated graphics. Lazy.
    They did make a lot of changes to the gamemode though. It's a lot for someone who just touched zombies previously to have all of this information shoved in their face at once. It's quite a bit to absorb. Nonetheless, it's fun and got a few hours out of me, but it's nothing to throw $60 at for.

    -Nightmare mode-
    This was a lazy attempt for people to play the campaign again, but with zombies thrown in. They don't even change the cutscenes! They just mute the audio from them and slap a narration bit up! It's so lazy to see that they did this. When the game said "zombie campaign", I expected a whole campaign about zombies taking over the world and complex character development (like The Walking Dead or other zombie stories), but I got WAY to ahead of myself. It's also boring and repetitive to just kill nothing but the same zombie over levels you already played.

    -Multiplayer-
    This was where the game shines. The shining crown. I put over 200+ hours into this game after about a month of playing. It's a TON of fun and probably the only reason I bought this game.
    There are now classes or "specialists" as the game calls them, that now diversify play a bit. Each specialist can choose 2 abilities to use that can give them either a weapon or a small advantage for a short period. The classes don't have any personality though. All of them are serious and not funny. Nothing like Team Fortress 2, where each class had a different fun personality. It would've been nice to give the characters some kind of personality besides "Nomad, KIA" and "Ruin, KIA". They had so much potential to put tons of funny character quotes or quips that would've made me remember the characters apart from what they occasionally do every 2 minutes.
    As for balance of weapons, they need to fix them. Some of the weapons are straight up overpowered. The P-06, Sheiva, pretty much all smgs, Haymaker, and the Brecci, just to name a few.
    There are only 12 maps (not including the Nuketown for pre-orders only). Most of them are good and have a lot of ramps and walls for jetpacks. Also, I noticed a lot less camping by allowing almost every part of the map to have 2 entrances to eliminate camping. Sure there were still campers, but rarely any.
    Speaking of the jetpack, it's a really nice feature I'm glad they carried over from Advanced Warfare. I didn't play AW, but from what I've seen and heard from others, it was nice to have a lot more mobility so combat is a lot more diverse.

    -Final verdict-
    I kept playing. I don't know why, but despite all of these flaws, I kept playing. I put over 200+ hours in alone and that for me is enough to justify a $60 purchase.    … Expand

    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.    … Expand

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

    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

    Black Ops 3 is contains the usual 5 hour campaign which is painfully linear, overly-cinematic and fails to inspire. The zombies mode will keep fans engaged for a while but if you want the complete experience; you'll need to spend a small fortune on the DLC and wait several months before the content starts flowing. The multiplayer aspect is a vast improvement over Advanced Warfare and Ghosts with fluid mechanics, lots of customisation and some enjoyable maps. Sadly the game is exceptionally buggy with crippling lag, dreadful bullet detection and very repetitive combat. Even the wealth of specialists, weapons and classes can't help the gameplay feel samey throughout.

    Treyarch were the last hope of salvaging the series and despite a strong offering in terms of a feature-packed title; it's simply not enough which indicates the franchise is at its end. With Sledgehammer and Infinity Ward up next; Activision would be better off calling it a day. Despite the strong positives of BO3; the series fails to have the same impact and quality that it once had and with games like Fallout 4 on the horizon; this game with all its woes will fail to keep you engaged.    … Expand

    Multiplayer is just Advanced Warfare but without the exosuit. Played it but there is nothing new to be honest. Yes the classes with the passive and offensive ability is good but that's it. Maps are diverse and good looking but still on PC lags and cheaters as usual.
    The only thing that saves this game from a very low score is the Zombie Mode. Again Treyarch does this mode like champs. Zombies are just so good. The look, the voices and the sounds are just amazing. Whoever designed it should get a raise because it's great.
    For the price you get a lot single, multi and zombies but for me only the Zombie part is worth while.

Ani strzelanie w roboty, ani w zombi nie jest tym, co w tej grze powinno się znaleźć. Można powiedzieć, że zombi można olać... Otóż nie można. W singlu mamy wszystko, choćby przez chwilę, ale musieli upchać tam wszystko i przydeptać. Strzelanie do robotów jest czymś nawet gorszym od zombi. Strzelasz w ślamazarne roboty jak w tarczę, czasem zdarzy się, że robot odskoczy, po czym znowu ślamazarnie prze do przodu jak golem. Zero taktyki !!!! SI nie istnieje, zachowanie opiera się na jednym skrypcie!!! Tak monotonnego trzymania palca na spuście powstydził by się chyba nawet Serious Sam.
    Co do story, to pomysł nie był najgorszy, wręcz powiedział bym, że powiało świerzością, na coś takiego czekałem. Jednak zamiast skupić się na story i rozwinąć temat o agencje rządowe, obecną sytuację na świecie twórcy, skupili się na opowiadaniu nam krótkiej historyjki w rozwleczony sposób. Szkoda, mogło być dobrze a wyszło jak zawsze. Natomiast psychodela, jaką zaserwowali nam pod koniec ( efekt z ptakami), odradzanie zastrzelonych wrogów, to coś, co nigdy nie powinno znaleźć się w tego typu grze. Gameplay poległ, wytrwałem do końca dla story i nie chcę więcej tej gry oglądać.    … Expand

    It really depends what are your expectations. If you want a decent FPS you will be disappointed. If you want b-genre interactive action movie then you could be satisfied.

    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.

    Seriously , this game feels like it's released in it's alpha state . Lag , freeze , fps drop . In main menu , all cores of my hex core processors is at 100% !! I didn't even load a map / level yet! Is it a joke?
    However , If they fixes the performance issue , it has potential to be a great COD Multiplayer experience (single player su*ks - except a few areas , the level design is the worst till date. And - shooting robots is not fun at all!!)
    Let's see what IW does with COD GHOSTS 2. (Q4 2016 , hopefully).    … Expand

    Honestly would be quite fun if it wasn't for god awful PC optimization, the only people that don't agree with this are mindless fanboys, the release state was horrible, it uses unjustifiable amounts of resources on any graphical setting, and as of a week later still no patch or acknowledgement from the devs.

    At first i bought this game out of the fun that i had with the zombies mod on the ps4 but at the end thats it thats the only thing that is enjoyable about this game if you want to buy this game its for the zombies and nothing else because nobody cares about multiplayer or campaign (plus it does not continue the story from one and two) and on top of all that this game is really bad on PCAt first i bought this game out of the fun that i had with the zombies mod on the ps4 but at the end thats it thats the only thing that is enjoyable about this game if you want to buy this game its for the zombies and nothing else because nobody cares about multiplayer or campaign (plus it does not continue the story from one and two) and on top of all that this game is really bad on PC its always crashing and its not worth the price due to the fact that you only buy this game for the zombies mod

    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.
