    Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 is absolutely stuffed to the brim with content on all fronts, and nearly none of it feels like filler.

    While there are some very minor cracks in the foundation, Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 still proves itself to be an excellent continuation of not only the Black Ops series but also of the entire Call of Duty IP. If you're looking for a fun, challenging, and comprehensive new-gen shooter experience, Black Ops 3 should definitely tide you over for the next several months (possibly years) at least.

    Surprisingly enough, the newest Call of Duty delivers a grand presentation and an interesting story. Its massive scope of different modes and new tactical options compared to the predecessor make this game an excellent comeback. The only downsides are a lacking enemy AI and missing challenge on some of the difficulty settings as well as a short single player campaign.

    While the campaign story itself feels silly, co-op is a marvelous addition and a far better way to experience the narrative for those that don't feel like killing zombies. Meanwhile, multiplayer feels like a huge difference from previous CoD games and much of it is for the better. With a faster pace, more fluid movement, and cool Specialist abilities, it feels like a refreshing twist on the CoD multiplayer formula.

    The graphics get a little prettier, the story gets a little darker, and another Call of Duty counts time as we march together toward death.

    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]

    It’s no surprise Treyarch also has no idea how to establish or develop a character. Which is an okay thing to have no idea how to do. Treyarch is making a shooter, not writing a Chekhov play. But Treyarch’s sin is not knowing this about themselves. Treyarch’s sin is shoving your face into a trough of narrative slop and holding your head down for minutes at a time. And furthermore thinking this is what you want. Long bouts of serious and seriously incoherent story. I have a suggestion for people who make games: if your storytelling skills aren’t up to par, if your game isn’t conducive to telling stories, don’t spend so much time on the story.

Campaign was a typical COD campaign and was quite good. What I liked was that you could play the campaign with 3 other people. Multiplayer is fast paced and very fun. I don't see a lot of hackers so that's good. But some of the weapons are too overpowered. Especially the ones you get from crates. I'm ok with the futuristic setting but I know some people don't like it. Zombie mode is great fun and puzzling. Overall it's a great game with a lot of fun content. It's totally worth the price.… Expand

    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 dutyI 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 the gameplay that the campaign has to offer is pretty good and i liked the DNI mechanics. The multiplayer is okay as well and i like the fast paced shooting with wallrunning and all that stuff. But what i don't like is the skill-based matchmaking and the multiplayer just doesen't feel like pure call of duty magic that the MW trilogy is known for. 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 is bad.It is glitchy ,full of unreasonable and dumb micro transactions and the only mode people are playing is deathmatch. But thisThis game is bad.It is glitchy ,full of unreasonable and dumb micro transactions and the only mode people are playing is deathmatch. But this game is better than disastrous COD:AW which was freaking awful.
    So as I said this game is bad really bad,I played it during free weekend on steam and I enjoyed playing it , but it was a really guilty pleasure meaning I know this game is awful but I keep playing it and playing it.
    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.    … Expand

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.
