    Absolutely no innovation and honestly a massive disappointment from Treyarch with one of the worst campaigns ever in call of duty and a mediocre multiplayer mode. The Zombie mode this year is unique especially the secret mode and dead ops arcade but its nothing special. It does not reach anywhere close to the black ops era maps like the masterpiece of the Pentagon.

The Zombie mode this year is unique especially the secret mode and dead ops arcade but its nothing special. It does not reach anywhere close to the black ops era maps like the masterpiece of the Pentagon. If you love call of duty and you really want a game to play this could be a buy however, I simply cannot recommend it with games like Fallout 4 and Star Wars Battlefront just around the corner. This is essentially another year another COD.
    P.S. Please ignore all the 10/10 fanboys who buy an average of 2 games per year and the clearly paid off critics!    … Expand

    The campaign is one of the worst Call of Duty campaigns. Very short and worse than average. Multiplayer is buggy and I keep getting dropped out of matches. Very laggy. If you liked previous Black Ops, don't buy this one. Black Ops 1 and 2 were better across the board.

    This game should have been better.

    I loved BO II so I thought I would support this next release, but sadly this didn't wow me or really have anything good about it to make it stand out.

    MP was very poor in optimization, SP was short and the content overall was there but wasn't really hiding the very poor Matchmaking and FPS lock.

    There are no choices in this one because it's focused on co-op.

    There are no flashbacks to interesting wars.

    You create your own generic character so you don't play as someone interesting this is also a result of their focus on co-op.

    The action is boring also because it was designed for co-op.

    Everything just feels so bad and not at all what I was expecting from Treyarch.

    Co-op is ruining gaming some people don't want to play games with others they just want to play a fun singleplayer game.

    Unfortunatly for them, the skilled commuity has retired now. All that is left are squeeky kids jumping around and wildly shooting on badly designed maps in the hopes they can be legendary twitch streamers! But the game has little to offer and little to achieve. The pure skill and almost autistic map knowledge required to be a beast in the older cods no longer means anything. Just grab a gun, jump like and idiot, run across a wall and get maybe two kills if you don't suffer the still present game breaking lag!

    I honestly wish we still had MW2, and they just made new maps and weapons, I'd probably even pay microtransactions on that game (gasp!). But no, each year we are treated to a whole new pile of festering turd that in no way improves over the last. It just builds on the stupid game style that has now changed COD from been and intelligent twitch shooter to an ADHD simulator (believe me I have it I know!).

    So I have to say this really is the final time I will ever pay for a COD game again. I'm done. This is the final insult to the community who built this game up to glory and have been shat on for their promotion of a once legendary franchise. RIP cod. Burn in Hell Blops3!    … Expand

    Game is no longer of interest for demographics in 35-40 range! Game needs to go back to its roots, simple point and shot, without the added button frills, unlocks etc. I will not buy or support any more installments of this game. No wonder the Battalion1944 Kickstarter raised 300%+ above its campaign goal, point and shoot, simple.

    This could be classified as the most mentally disabled review on metacritic to date. If people can give this game 8/10s or up, this world is doomed. This game is the worst COD to date. Critics being paid to give amazing reviews doesn't help at all. Overall, I'm never buying another call of duty ever again.

    Black Ops I and II were great. The Modern Warfare trilogy was good. This? Is garbage. Usually Black Ops games are unique compared to other installments (AW, Ghosts, WaW, etc). But it just felt like an extension of Advanced Warfare. Over complicated zombies mode, an online community bogged down with 12 year olds (not the games fault, but still a major down point). Honestly not worth the money.

    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.

The maps are also tiny and there isn't much at all to this game. It's definitely a game for the simple minded. Waste of time. Zombie's is also the biggest joke ever, it isn't scary whatsoever. I think this may be a game for small children.

    For as long as I've been playing Call of Duty since Modern Warfare, the series has had it's ups and downs. Despite Black Ops 1 being my personal favorite in the series, my love for the series quickly died once Black Ops 2 came out in 2012. Since then, I prayed that this game would capture that magic it had. Sadly, it failed for multiple reasons.

    Campaign: In terms of story and    For as long as I've been playing Call of Duty since Modern Warfare, the series has had it's ups and downs. Despite Black Ops 1 being my personal favorite in the series, my love for the series quickly died once Black Ops 2 came out in 2012. Since then, I prayed that this game would capture that magic it had. Sadly, it failed for multiple reasons.

    Campaign:

    In terms of story and characters, this game would have to be one of the weakest games in the series. The story is boring, there are only a few faces you can choose from to create your character, the graphics just looks and sounds the same and the characters are not so likable or memorable as in the previous games. The dialogue is okay, but it doesn't help grabs the players attention or make the campaign feel fresh and original. What we got is the same game but in a different setting, little changes, and less fun. If you were hoping this would be the game to save the franchise, your sadly mistaken. And although the new Nightmare mode plays a lot like the campaign, the twist is that there are zombies and has you play as a different character from the campaign. So basically your just really playing through the same boring missions all over from the campaign, but with zombies, no new weapons, no pack a punch, and no new features.

    Multiplayer:

    The multiplayer is not that great either. The game did really bad at launch due to it's ridiculous glitches, and bad gameplay. The microtransactions is still there since Advanced Warfare to force the player to grind and play the game for hours in order to receive new weapons, camo, and other goodies. The supply drop suck and are hard to get anything special, the gameplay is even worse due to it's broken hit boxes, and some of the weapons either suck or are decent. The maps are okay and they did fix the controls compared to Advanced Warfare, but the game modes are still the same and there's nothing special about this game mode at all. One of the least things I like about it is the addition of specialists. Instead of having to create your own character like you would normally do, you are given instead a couple meh characters to customize. There's also Dead Ops Arcade 2, which did make a fine comeback since 2010, but it's kinda boring and not that rewarding either.

    Zombies:

    Zombies mode was a good way to end the separate storyline. Despite that there are only a few maps, some of the maps are actually pretty cool and entertaining as well. The zombies are harder this time, there are a tons of creatures to slay, and more added weapons. This is probably the only good mode in the game because where all the other modes are either repetitive or just bad, this is actually fun if you have enough friends to play along with you and once you get to know everything.

    Overall, what we got is the same game every year, but with lack of surprises, little changes, and very little fun. On top of that, this is probably one of the worse story modes or one of the worse games in the series that fails to deliver with a bad ending, bad characters, bad modes, and slightly worse multiplayer    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am mostly blown away here by the terribly annoying scripted AI you have to deal with in the campaign. Not only do they annoyingly yell at you while you are trying to complete a section of a mission over and over, but they also are horribly scripted to begin with. The whole badly written love scenes between my female character and her love interest made me cringe. That wasn't the only time I cringed as well as the character I played also had terrible lines that made me roll my eyes if not completely want to bash my face into my keyboard.

    The campaign story itself was bizarre. It was almost like they decided they wanted to add their own version of Far Cry's mind trip into this game, and man it failed hard! If I have to hear about the crazy frozen forest and how an AI wants me to live there after death one more time... what the hell? The ending made me feel like I wasn't even playing a CoD game at all. In fact, this wasn't a black ops game at all. Black Ops made it's billions by sending us into the past while telling a story in the present moment. It was a unique twist that was exciting and innovative at least.

    The last thing I have to complain about is how the Core ability system in the campaign is completely different from the amazingly awesome system developed for the multiplayer version. Why is Bops III two different games in one? I thought I was leveling up in the campaign and that would apply to multiplayer but nope, multiplayer has an entirely different system set up. Maybe I am the only one put off here but I thought it would be cool to play the campaign and then be able to at least start out at a decent level with abilities unlocked for MP. I would have loved if they just gave us the multiplayer abilities and class system for the campaign so we could get used to that.

    The difficulty settings are okay though, but the campaign itself is just poorly done. There are also sections of it that literally have endless spawning waves of enemies that make it a tad difficult to complete certain parts of the story at times. But regardless, this could have been pretty awesome if I could have chose to wield a bow, play as a robot, or whatever the hell I wanted and use those special abilities... Just do what every one else does and skip to the zombies and the multiplayer.    … Expand

    This Game is NOT CoD, DO NOT BE FOOLED. In multiplayer everything happens in 3 hit, you kill everyone in 3 hits and you die from 3 hits, all you have to do is hit first in this game mode and u get a kill. Spec is total nonsense, no use for them except to help players with low skill to get kills.

Everything is so fast in this game, the movement, the sliding, the jumping the wall running. If I would have known there everyone will be flying around all the time I would not have bought this game, Kill streaks are useless because you wont reach the high tear ones and you know why, someone WILL kill you, be it because u cannot camp anymore, shot from back or some other ways. I am a bit older gamer and if your like me, you will have trouble competing, because I dont have the reaction speed like all the 16 year olds. And being a good aim means nothing in BO3 Because people will just jump around and kill you. I still get to the top 3 player every now and then but it does not feel fair, feels like I got lucky with a package drop or something.

    I played zombies for a bit and I have to say that game is way more fun but I cannot give good score becouse of zombies mode alone. There are lots of amazing improvements in zombies but again, even the pace in zombies mode is way faster it seems.

    Campaign is OMG there are NO words how not interesting it is. You all remember playing Modern warfare 1/2 and BO1. Campaign there was addictive and easy to follow, and BO3 is like you do not care what happened in that story, you dont care whats gonna happen there.

    I will rate this game a fair 4, too much speed in the WHOLE game, too little shots needed to kill and be killed. Campaign is not even worth completing(not even once) I say, wait until this drops to 20$ and then buy it!    … Expand

    Shouldn't really be called Black Ops. It has very little to do with previous Black Ops games. The A.I is worse than normal. I think the reason for this is because in the past the enemies have been human enemies, so they don't want to get hit, so they take cover etc. But with the this the enemies are robots, so they don't fear your bullets.

So they aren't scary or anything at all. After so many future warfare settings, they have clearly totally run out of ideas. This adds nothing new at all and is just so run of the mill cliche futuristic warfare. You've seen and done it a million times over now. The settings aren't even anything special. It doesn't really matter what part of the world you are in it is all samey. Nothing stands out at all. Bland, bland, bland. The story is just plain dull too. As a result, you don't care about the characters at all, they are just empty vessels. Multiplayer is more of the same. If you already own a COD game, you pretty much already have the game. It is the same copy and paste job that has gone on for years. I never did like the futuristic setting. It isn't something i can recognize or relate to. With old WW2 and Modern Warfare settings, i can recognize and relate to them as they were real. WW2 really happened, Modern Warfare was based on Iraq and Afghanistan, which are still ongoing. You can recognize and relate to them. This made them cool and interesting. We need to go back to WW2 or Modern Warfare and leave futuristic warfare behind.… Expand

    This series yet again reaches into the future to clutch at cool gadgets and technology hoping to add variety to the gameplay. Again, the series fails.

Again, the series fails. The setting is extremely bland and no crisis can be felt throughout. The weapons look extremely bad and poorly designed in terms of real weapon engineering. Furthermore, the game had me bored right from start to the abrupt finish I gave it after I uninstalled the game and requested a refund after the first mission and one multiplayer match. (I played about 2 hours of multiplayer in the beta and the game felt exactly the same on release.) Terrible game, dying series with developers and publishers not knowing what made the first games so great. Realistic weapons and clothing, over the top stories and cool set pieces that don't require robotic limbs. Example: Laying in a field with a patrol walking right past you in MW was more fun than the last 3 COD games combined.… Expand

    A game that is all about the multiplayer but has that component in an unplayable state in multiple regions, especially for the PS4 users. Not only that, there's no sign of the creators admitting to the problem as they continue the usual routine of blaming the thousands of user's connections instead of their servers. Stay away from this game. If you own a PS4 just run away as fast as you can.

    Cod with the same old repetitive gameplay. this time they failed to offer anything new. the classes are all from either destiny or titan fall just re skinned and renamed. and class ability works worse than they do on the games they are originally from. the maps are a mess. they are either too small for the number of players on them which results in being able to blinding shoot the gunCod with the same old repetitive gameplay. this time they failed to offer anything new. the classes are all from either destiny or titan fall just re skinned and renamed. and class ability works worse than they do on the games they are originally from. the maps are a mess. they are either too small for the number of players on them which results in being able to blinding shoot the gun and get kills in the 2 second before your respawn. the larger maps with choke points are basically older maps that have ben modified. supposed to to promote team play play and give it a more tactical feel it doesn't people just run and gun in that too. it suffers from a lot of the same issues as others pointed out with the new need for speed. mainly the repetitive same old game play as previous releases and reskinned rehashed content from previous versions or in this case two other games as well. I wish I could get some of the activision money that was paid to reviewers for the goods reviews the game doesn't deserve.… Expand

    Same recycled garbage. Don't get caught in the trap. I rented it thankfully, and after about 30 minutes, realized I had been fooled. Please save your money in purchasing, and rent it from Redbox first. You'll thank me.

    To think that this game deserves its sixty dollar price tag is ridiculous. This is because they are trying to make it "futuristic." It seems like they are following in the footsteps of COD advanced warfare. The haven't fixed the mouse input issues on the PC port.

    the same crap it is every year. I can't give it a 0, they worked 2 years on it, plus the wall running and some of the campaign elements are a bit different. But it is mostly the same garbage. I wanted to like this game, BO2 wasn't half bad, but alas, this game was a repetitive, boring, disappointment.

    Worst Call of Duty ever. Graphics are outdated, online server/connection problems and lag. Campers, only like 30 weapons, limited perks, limited game mods and this future setting. Enough already!

    Ugh. Just... ugh. This is it, isn't it? This is modern gaming. Actually, what this is, is the biggest case of plagiarizing other video games since Castlevania: Lords of Shadow.

The game is what Call Of Duty always has been: full of annoying 12 year-olds who probably can't spell the word 'campaign'. Fans will lap this up, but most will find themselves playing the online multiplayer for a weekend and never touching it again. It's shallow with nothing to offer. The campaign isn't very good either and the zombie mode is once again 'zombies but no horror'. Get some originality in your blood and come back next year, Activision!… Expand

    The frame rate is hilarious, even in multiplayer you get screen tearing all the time! I was smart enough to buy the game in disc form and got my hard earned money back. Also, CE-34878-0 , blurry graphics and tons of glitches -bugs. Avoid like the PLAGUE!!!

    Encountering one glitch, you game over once. And this **** game made me die dozens of times, which drove me insane. The starting CG has tons of bugs. When you finally enter the campaign, everytime you are going to shoot someone, there is a glitch, and you are dead. That's it.

    This game adds nothing new to the franchise, just another cod game. I have no idea how people find this game enjoyable any more. If your going into the series new then get it second hand maybe but if you have played any cod game ever, it's just the same thing.

    Simply take the futuristic schema of Black ops 2, add the jetpacks of Advanced Warfare, then you add the same recycled trash storyline that Call of Duty uses for its games the last four to three years, and ta-da... Black Ops 3

    How can they get away with releasing the same game every year and review companies giving it good review's. The whole series needs to go back to its routes i.e. WW2 until then its going to be the same Copy and paste rubbish every year!

    Underneath the glamour, it feels like just another Call of Duty game - to the delight of existing fans, but the chagrin of players seeking new turf.

    Both the single player and online modes are fun but don’t expect to be blown away. Despite a great story and a couple of very enjoyable missions the campaign as a whole is a tad boring. [13/2015, p.50]

    What we have here is the best Call of Duty single player experience to date. The multiplayer is solid too, though the much-talked re-design has resulted a multiplayer experience that really doesn’t differ all that much from the previous ones. [Nov 2015]
