    One of the worst parts of the call of duty series ever made, unnecessary futurism and pushing evil AI everywhere, add to that enemies who with one hit of the flasks, deal more than rocket damage and we will have this tragic game that should not wait for its premiere

    It's not as fun as the 1st and 2nd games, I just found the graphics and gameplay mechanics good, but it's a game far below my expectations.

    Here Treyarch made a complete diarrhea. The plot is incredibly bad. Terrible graphics, disgusting weapon physics, everything is very bad there. I don't know why some people like this part. But it's really terrible.

    Call of Duty: Black Ops III is a game that absolutely never needed to exist. The first two games are great stories that didn’t need a continuation, not that BO3 was a continuation of any sort. In fact, this is a game that should have killed the Call of Duty franchise, but hey when people are willing to buy trash Treyarch and Activison are willing to oblige.

In fact, this is a game that should have killed the Call of Duty franchise, but hey when people are willing to buy trash Treyarch and Activison are willing to oblige. For heaven sake they had some other no-name companies come up with an online-only multiplayer so this game could make some extra money on Xbox 360 and PS3.

    I looked long and hard into this wondering whether it was worth buying, whether the campaign was worth it. I found many articles saying what an amazing story this game had. As I’ve now played it, I have to wonder what drugs these people were on. What story? It’s like a computer wrote this story. There are so many story threads here but none of them connect together. It would make you brain dead to try and figure out a cohesive story. What the hell is this story about? Who are we fighting for? Who are we fighting against? Why should I care this guy betrayed us? I never got to know him. The story of the other group would have been more interesting, instead 3/4 of the way through we’re given exposition dumps and weird half-baked WWII and Zombies levels??

    This game is so broken and buggy, Treyarch just threw up the game and turned its back on it. This game hard crashed several times and a few other times froze in the midst of the game where I thought it would crash before continuing. There are no checkpoints, you can’t quit and come back in. When you crash you get to play the entire mission over again, even if you were at the very last stage. My first hard crash made sure the game would never load the correct mission on its own again. If I had to hear about Singapore or the Black Ops site one more time or that damn loading screen video I was going to lose it. There were also mission breaking bugs where you go through thinking everything is okay until you’re near the end and the mission can’t continue, again there’s no checkpoints so you have to start all over and get to witness the moments that were missing the first time, such as a character not talking the entire time and thus isn’t really in the mission despite running around with you. At one point, the game crashed so hard the system thought the disc was a PS4 Format Disc. That was an interesting little surprise I’ve never witnessed in any game ever.

    This is not a game to waste your time with. I only finished because I was playing split-screen LAN and we could laugh about how terrible everything was. But playing in split-screen is one heck of an experience. First you can only play horizontally as though they were convinced you’d play with four people. But the biggest issue is that there are black bars on the sides of the screen. The game doesn’t even take up the whole screen! We had to sit close to the screen to see, everything is so small and cramped. What a disaster of a game. The only thing I can say is that I got this super cheap and it was short, so was our agony.

    Bear in mind that this review is coming from campaign-player only which in my opinion did not deliver in this release of CoD game. The plot was boring and gameplay repetitive. I was used to action-packed sequences in CoD campaigns which this games absolutely lacks.

    The multiplayer is fun initially but quickly turns sour when you get deeper into it.The maps are probably the only innovative thing in the multiplayer as the whole idea of jumping around like super mario is way too over the top for COD.It was interesting to see in Advanced warfare but i think it should have stayed in advanced warfare and not move into a future title.The whole wall running idea and double jumping isn't call of duty nor its future.

    The zombies is wayy too boring, 1 map on launch ???
    Utterly unacceptable Rather buy something else

    About the gameplay and game modes - i deleted the game after completing half of the plot. There is no campaign at all. There are only some separated missions with the same, absolutely empty, characters. I think that all features and the main setting of this part are bad for many players too.
    Online mode was turned off after one try, and it was not because of my bad skill.
    The zombie mode not so bad as the whole other game, so the game has my 2 only for this mode.

    If you are in doubt, my advice - go by.

There was 0 thought put into Multiplayer, It's Pay to win garbage since every DLC weapon beats every other weapon in any range with exception to 1-shot Snipers and shotguns, which is pretty much 4 weapons in total. The XMC(an SMG) for example beats every single SMG in the entire game and every single Assault Rifle from any range both in damage, range and accuracy since the weapon has 0 recoil.

    The campaign is ridiculous garbage with absolutely no substance in storytelling. The opening is really immersive but they decided it would be a great idea to **** it all up by making you play through the rest of the game in a completely nonsensical virtual simulator.

    Zombies carries this entire game on it's back. It's extremely fun, with many new innovations (some way better than others) and there is an immense amount of content per map. There's almost always something to do if you've gotten tired of just slaughtering the same nameless zombies over and over again.

    Also, There is absolutely no anti-cheat of any kind. Every other lobby you will always find people going invisible using cheats etc. Hit detection is also tied directly to your connection so the entire multiplayer is entirely based on luck, Unless you have 24/7 pixel-perfect internet.

The multiplayer was also very unbalanced and most of the time it was more frustrating than actually enjoyable. Not even the zombie mode could redeem this game, but it was not terrible.

    Not a good game, but also not the worst Call of Duty around, trust me. There's just no point in playing this today, as there are CoDs with better campaigns and way superior competitive modes.

Plus, the map isn't even that good (as a long time zombie player for 6 years) and sits at a mediocre rating for me. A shame indeed because the DLC zombie maps are fantastic to play. As a game without its DLC, it is easily a subpar COD game that argues that the COD formula is losing track and ready to derail at any moment. At its best (with all DLC) it barely sits at a mixed mediocre score that makes it even more sad.

    The campaign feels like they found a crazy person on the street, gave him lsd and wrote down everything he said, made it into a **** rushed story and put some guns in it. I mean seriously wtf was that campaign? I was happy to finish it so I didn't have to endure anymore torment, and from start to finish I understood about 10% of what was happening.
    Multiplayer is the same it is every year. That is to say terrible. Regularly dropped in to games with about 10 seconds left, not to mention the laggy servers. Gameplay has gotten way too fast paced, not sure why they make it faster every year, probably to make up for the lack of exhilaration and fun. They added in some useless gimmicks this year though, they were fun to unlock but once I realized they were all **** and copied off of Overwatch they just got boring. Maps are pretty bad aswell apart from a few, good to see they're still milking Nuketown, can't wait for BO4 and nuketown 2090. Also whats with all the **** player customizations? Is the aim of the game now to look the most like a candy covered clown?
    Seriously they need to skip a few years and just come out with an actual game instead of a rehash of the last game every year. Maybe find out what they want to be, a serious fps? Or an arcade shooter? This is neither, its closer to an arcade shooter but done terribly.
    I hope people stop buying these so they make a decent game one day.

    There is no innovation, just its a shooter game where they are really trying to tell a story but completely fail. When I was playing this game, I just wanted to end it, I wasn't excited when I was playing, and after completing it I didn't even had one memorable moment.
    The ONLY BEST THING about this game is its shooting... That's it
    If you are a die hard fan and really wanna play then you can or if you can rent it then of course you should but if you are new then I wouldn't recommend it unless you are ONLY LOOKING FOR SHOOTING EXPERIENCE.

    -Zombie is the only thing that really stands up in this game, awsome gameplay and easter eggs, classic zombies black ops with a few changes, ok there is only one map, but the size is **** giant, really cool.
    -Campaing doesn't add anything new, so I rather not to talk about it, classic campaing, no cool carachters, like Cap. Price, it's a regular campaing.

    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.

    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

    black ops 3 is 2015's call of duty cash cow. it is a below average game filled to the brim with mechanics that take skill out of the equation such as lag, extensive aim assist and stupidly fast ttk. it is a video from a legendary franchise that is aimed towards children, which isn't a bad thing, but when the goal is to sell those children supply drops, this is actually illegal.

    supply drops are the worst part of this game. they are filled with **** such as obstructive reticules and ****ty skins like inferno, or a stupid clown camo. the camos and "taunts" in these boxes prove that the game is aimed towards kids, because otherwise why would gingerbread man skin and the dab emote exist? but by far the worst part are the **** pay to win guns in the supply drops.

    to get a rare supply drop takes on average, 10 games. a game lasts 15 minutes, so one supply drop is 150 minutes of gameplay. this is absurdly long, since the drop rate for weapons is 0.3 percent. out of 615 supply drop items, 5 were weapons, and 2 were the iron jim. on average, you have to spend $81 or spend 2 and a half days game time to receive a single weapon, which makes gambling a major pressure.

    overall - **** illegal / 10

    next, campaign. campaign is ok. its an above average shooter story. I would rate it as slightly worse than halo 4's, but better than ghosts. the reason that the campaign doesn't redeem the game is that it is impossible to fail, even if you are **** it is so damn easy. there is one section where your in a jet and you literally don't have to do anything to shoot down other jets other than pressing rt every now and then, its insulting that such a legendary franchise would dumb down so much in the name of profit.

    campaign - easy/10

    zombies is the only good part of this game, but the inclusion of easter eggs massively take away from the fun of the wave defence. if you don't do the easter egg parts, you die. that's it. its almost impossible get far without the easter eggs. but if you do the easter eggs, you have to kite a crawler around for half an hour, which literally noboby likes. its also gets increadably repetitive doing the easter egg over and over for 30 minutes every time just to have a fun wave defence game.

    zombies - appeals to autistic people / 10

    multiplayer is not fun. it is designed spesificly to entise little kids to start playing the game by making massive noobs feel like badass by introducing lag to randomise kills. imagine it like this. if little billy, a 10 year old, comes up against Segway steve, a 20 year old badass in a game of basket ball first to 10 points, steve will get 8 points and billy only 4, but if we introduce a coin flip when they score (the coin flip symbolising lag in cod), on average, billy will score 2, but steve will score 4, therefore halfing the perceived skill gap. now, statistical outliers are possible, so it could be that all 4 of billy's points are legit, but only 3 of steve's are, so then in that situation, billy just won a game against a total badass and is now hooked on basketball. replace cod with basketball and points with kills and the coin flip with lag, and this analogy works with call of duty.

    -The movement system is extremely crisp and almost always perfectly responsive
    -Most of the maps range from decent to good, with a few exceptions.
    -The graphics, while not pushing the PS4 or X Box One's limitations aren't as bad as NBA 2K/Live 16.
    There however is a lot of bad to outweigh the good;
    -The netcode and hit detection is not only inconsistent but they are bad at BEST.
    -The game has gone pay to win, in a $60 ($100 if you buy bundled with season pass) with a double barrel sniper that has only one downside when compared with the one that isn't random chance to get, being that it doesn't take an actual scope. Along with the fact that Treyarch is nerfing (reducing in power) all of the non-random chance weapons while buffing (increasing in power) the ones that you basically have to pay between $50 and $200 for.
    -Treyarch does not know how to balance a video game, they buff things that don't need to be buffed and nerf things that ruin the variety of the game not often enough and too little.
    Overall, I put this at the absolute bottom of any Call of Duty that has come out since CoD4, and I can wholeheartedly say that as a person who own and has prestiged at least once in every single CoD since 4 excluding MW3. Let's hope that Infinite Warfare can save this series.

    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.

    Man oh man. Trey Arc does it again. They've just about killed the franchise with this entry of the series. Holy. **** I can't even begin to describe how unoriginal this game is. If you need to play it to see for yourself, be my guest.

    I don't play the Campaign, for the last 5 years I have played all the COD titles in Multiplayer. This is a huge disappointment and as far from the Black Ops format as you can image. More like Space Cadets with fixed characters with special 'powers'. The maps are reasonable, but appear flat compared to the brilliant COD AW.

The maps are reasonable, but appear flat compared to the brilliant COD AW. Finding full lobbies is difficult sometimes and I've played games with only 6 players, I am not surprised that many COD fans are back playing Multiplayer COD AW where full lobbies are always to be found. Unfortunately I coughed up for the map upgrades before playing, unlike previous COD's you cannot go to a specific lobby for the new maps and consequently have to wait game after game to play the new maps you paid good money for. I hate to think that this is the last COD title I will be buying, but if the series continues like this it will be bye bye from me. Expand

Zombies is milking a dead cow. MP is made for 12-Y-Os who have their parent's money to throw into its 'supply drop' micro transactions. Instead of fixing instant max level modders and numerous map glitches, Treyarch has been making it more difficult to earn in-game currency and reducing drop rates of the most desired items in the supply drops. Typical Activision money grabbing, do not purchase. Gets boring very quickly. Hopefully this is not a trend all future CoD games will embody, but sadly that seems to be the case. Expand

    Finally got some time to play some Black Ops 3 and boy am I glad I chose to RedBox this game.

People used to complain that these shooters needed more color rather than the overused sepia and orange overtones but I don't think they meant allowing guns and armor to look like cartoons. As I watched people running around with hot pink camo skinned weapons and bright yellow armor with bandoleers saying "BOOM" on them (which would be more at home in Sunset Overdrive than COD), I can just shake my head at what's become of this franchise. It looks more like Splatoon than COD - especially with the newer maps from the first DLC (Splash, specifically) - and that bothers the hell out of me. It's as if they've realized they might as well pander to the pre-teen set despite the M rating (and it also explains why one of the kids in the Cub Scout pack my son is in showed up with a Black Ops 3 painted Pinewood Derby car... he's SEVEN YEARS OLD).

    The game is the same formula as ever and twitchier than it ever has been. Campaign is a joke, yet again. Zombies isn't even that solid of an offering this time around, far more limited than it's ever been in previous Treyarch COD titles. If you're looking for a game where you can run around looking like an 80's/early 90's cartoon reject spamming buttons, then this game is for you. If you're looking for a shooter that treats its audience like more than pre-teens, look elsewhere.

    Was quite looking forward to this but am quite dissapointed with the campaign, its beautiful graphics but it feels flat and at times feels quite lost. The multiplayer is the same as any other COD.

    The worst game I've played on PS4 so far. It's awful, don't waste your money. I haven't played a Call of Duty game in a while and this game is way too cheesy. 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.

    Such a giant let down. When I pre-ordered black ops 3, i hoped it would be the first good COD since bo2, but no, was equally as bad as advanced warfare. Far too futuristic with jetpack and not being able to get a clean shot due to people jumping around and running on walls. Even the campaign is woeful.

    I can't be arsed to even finish this game.
    The plot is a joke and the action becomes monotonous.
    Don't get me started on zombie mode. Dull, dull dull.

    Very disappointing,after black ops 1 and 2 I was expecting an awesome next gen experience instead I got a terrible,boring and predictable story mode,an over complex zombie mode and a multiplayer more unbalanced than destiny's.I can at least appreciate it's great visuals and fairly smooth game play.

    Multiplayer implements specialists,that is really the only new addition,and some specialists are clearly better then others.Weapons are still unbalanced,with a extremely powerful crossbow,shotguns being fairly overpowered and the higher level assault rifles and subs are unbalanced.
    The spawns in this game are so bad,so bad you can argue they are simply broken.Often I would die then spawn 10 meters away from the place I died at,only to be killed by the same person.Sometimes I would spawn behind people,and vice versa.
    Zombies implements a true XP progression system and able to customize your guns,the only two major improvements over advanced warfare.There is only a single new zombies map so far.and to be honest it just seems boring to me.The other zombies map,the giant is a reskin of a Der Riese.
    Dead Ops Arcade 2 is to me the only good thing about this game,as they managed to add new things without completely screwing it up.
    Nightmares is simply the normal campaign reskinned with zombies,its nice but not really needed.
    There is also a freerun bonus game,it is more of a parkour gamemode and is pretty boring.

    Overall,I think the game would have been far better if they simply just took a "if it isn't broke don't fix it" approach,as they tried to fix it but broke the game in the process.I hope Activision really waits longer with this game and really develop the game.But of course they won't as they're greedy for as much money as possible.

    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]
