    Boring and bland, no innovation at all. How can they get away with releasing the same game every year and review companies giving it good review's. Basically a copy and paste every single year.

    I have never been more disgusted with a game in my life, this game is a total cash grab its full of micro transactions and it lags its terrible worst COD ever.

    Buying a $60 game where the main selling point is actually the multiplayer mode and the connection just lags on and on making the game unplayable! It did not fulfill the objective of the game, zero very deserved!

    This game is for people who ride the short bus, but that can be said for most CoD games for the past decade..

    I guess they decided that CoD was getting stale so instead they made a titanfall clone...

    This game works good for a beer coaster though ;)

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.    … Expand

    Only buy this game for the Zombies. The Campaign is the worst campaign in Call of Duty history and literally makes no sense. The Multiplayer has the exact same problems as previous titles with bad hit detection, terrible map design and broken camera angles. Zombies is awesome as usual though and is the sole reason I bought this game. Campaign: 2/10 Multiplayer: 0/10 Zombies: 8/10

    if you're still buying into this franchise after numerous titles the past 6 years then youll love the stale taste of the game mechanics.

    the best thing i can say about this game is that its at least treyarch but the thing that needs to come back is the extensive gore from world at war. limbs falling off and sorts

    I hated this campaign. It made no sense at all and I found myself so annoyed at the story at the halfway point I wanted to cry and chuck a fit but instead I sucked it up and tried to care about the characters at which I failed to do. A total waste of time and effort. (Multiplayer is decent.)

    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.    … Expand

    Aspect ratio all wrong in wide screen resolutions (wider than 1080P). How does this even happen in 2015?
    I feel like a sucker for buying this game. I also find it hard to believe that none of the many reviewers used a wide screen setup and failed to notice that everthing thing was much wider than it should be.

    I can't believe they thought they could call this black ops 3 rather than advanced warfare 2. The game has nothing in common with the first two black ops games other than the unimaginative killstreaks that are essentially just re-skinned versions of the same old killstreaks from black ops 2.
    The LAG/LAG comp/Latency renders the multiplayer essentially unplayable and the campaign is dull.    I can't believe they thought they could call this black ops 3 rather than advanced warfare 2.

    Even if you get lucky and find a game where you don't get one shotted after pouring half a clip into someones back the maps are incredibly unimaginative and all conform to the boring three lanes design with chaotic spawns that constantly shift between different ends of the map removing any and all tactical elements from multiplayer.
    Even with the ghost perk, the stock attachment and a suppressor equipped on an assault rifle you still slow down enough when aiming down sights to instantly appear on the minimap rendering this mess of a game nothing more than round after round of chase the red map dots with the boredom occasionally being broken by the excitement of occasionally getting one shotted by someone who the gods of LAG favour.
    I bought ghosts and thought COD couldn't get any worse, I bought advanced warfare and discovered that it could. I bought this steaming pile of crap and finally learned my lesson - COD's dead and isn't coming back. I will not play the next call of duty game.    … Expand

    This game shouldn't have anything to deal with the future. That's for "Advanced Warfare" where everything is Advanced. Black ops 3 should be a "Simple & Solid" game, more similar towards Black ops 2 and 1, Not all the futuristic stuff that's not even part of the Black ops series...

    -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.    … Expand

    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.

If you were hoping for something new and original well you are sorely mistaken this game is like any other s h i t call of duty that has come out in recent years. At first i wasn't gonna buy it but my friends convinced so i decided to give it a shot but i had a feeling in my gut that i was selling my soul to the treyarch demons as i was giving the game stop employee my 60 dollars. Honestly this game is not worth its 60 dollar price tag. Now its time to get in to the meat of this boring as h e l l game, The campaign is very generic and i did not have a clue what the hell was happening but before i knew it i was being ripped apart by robots and they made me into a f u c k i n g terminator, even playing with friends isn't fun so i wouldn't bother. Zombies is the only fun thing that's kinda fun but the first map sucks and its hard to play but its ok. Now the multiplayer the only cod f u c k bois care about, multiplayer you get to pick specialist that have really retarded powers like one where you can come back from the f u c k i n g dead like wtf, and the community doesn't make in any better because they are especially toxic in this years cod. There is a few different types of people in cod that you will encounter so i'm gonna name them off my right quick. The little 12 year old f a g g o t that likes to talk s h i t over his mlg headset and give you all of the details about how he shoved his huge c o c k in your moms vag, the guy that plays f u c king fetty wap through the mic, people like me who suck at the game and doesn't really give a **** the stereotypical black guy who screams the n word or f u c k every time he dies, and last but not least the little Mexican kid who's family is having dinner behind him. This game isn't worth any ones time and if you want to keep all your brain cells stay away from cod and everything related.

    MP stick to mw1 mw2 mw3 BO1 and BO2, this one continues the crap from the last 2 CODs more futuristic big complex maps and non relateable futuristic weapons. what the hell is this specialist crap as well the character themes are a blatant rip off of destiny emo looking females with hoodies and robots thats not COD.

    ive been playing MP for awhile and only been seeing the same 3-4 maps and was wondering why well b/c no one was voting for the others until i got in a game with a map i haven seen it was a big multi level map and the game was slow paced and took to the limit to finished now i knew why all the matches i ve been playing took place on the same 3-4 maps aquarium, fringe, havac and redwood

    the MP sucks compared to the CODs of last gen noone asked for these changes that have been made and the changes we wanted havent been addressed like lag, we dont want futuristic maps or weapons b/c we dont relate to those things and COD should be a military shooter ill go play halo or crysis or even killzone if i want futurist themes. we dont want big ass complex maps b/c the fast pace action is gone and its difficult to spot enemies with all this **** in my line of sight. and we dont want emo looking charters or robots we want normal looking military personal

    activision has been killing COD for the last 3 years what was once one of the best franchise scoring high 80s and mid 90s on here year after year has now gotten to low 80s and high 70s all b/c they went to the future scify route with robots, double jump, laser guns, and character models that are ripped off from destiny and crysis , no one wants that crap from COD we have halo and many more scify FPS out there get your **** together activision treyarch, sledgehammer and infinty ward i dont want to see this crap again next year go back to the modern era or even 90s 80s and 70s    … Expand

Its got a class system thing where each class has a special ability that works like a killstreak that doesn't reset on death. There are some really cool different classes and playstyles that can come from this. However, the guns are all the same repeated recipe, the maps are incredibly disappointing in their failure to utilize the jetpacks and wall running mechanics. Each map basically just has a couple walls on its border that you can run along to get to the other side, as well as a maybe 1 or 2 good walls in the middle. Oh don't forget the random water zones they throw into some maps, just to demonstrate their new capabilities. Some things about this game are cool, like the perk that lets you see enemy footsteps over the past 5 seconds, but then you have the glitches, On the one well designed map, there is a non-wall spot, where they drew in a wall, and just outright forgot to code it in as well. So you walk in and you can see out of it and shoot out of it, and no one has any idea where you are until the killcam. Then you have the walls that aren't properly drawn in, which will at some point block your fully charged frag grenade, and it will kill you. Then you have the matchmaking and connectivity, which outright suck. Between the constant disconnects, the insane lag, and the obnoxious glitching it causes, it can be nearly impossible to play sometimes. One final thing, is that after about an hour of playing it on the PS3, your PS3 will overheat and freeze. You will have to force it to turn off, and it will need an hour to cool down. This is honestly the worst recycling of the cod series i have yet to see, and it really does go to show you that Activision is completely incapable of creating anything new without screwing up absolutely everything else. You still want to buy it, good luck to you, and have fun waiting for 15 minutes to find a game that doesn't drop you right away.… Expand

    The game has potential, if they can tweak the lag comp then it could end up being a great game. But I do feel betrayed seeing how much different the beta was and release. I also find it frustrating that this lag comp is still here years later even though everyone hates it. If they don't improve upon this fast, it will definitely be the last COD I ever buy. I sure won't be buying any map packs if they don't improve on it too.

    Mediocre game at best. COD has been the same stuff for years now.
    - Boring campaign
    - Horrible multiplayer
    Zombies is great but not enough to make this game good.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game just destroyed the name Black Ops for the Call of Duty series. All it is, is just Advanced Warfare under a new name. Don't get me wrong, if you like flying and sliding around then yeah the game is for you. To me, i hate it. I'm one of those guys who gets the thrill out of going out and using my blade and tomahawk, that's all really. Both Black ops 1&2 had the stick and stones mode where i could just do that, but for some reason, that doesn't exist on black ops 3 now. Knifing is exceptionally hard to do in the game let alone going around tomahawking. The weapons will kill you instantly within 2-5 shots which at least in black ops 1&2 you had some time to react. The 6th sense perk is just down right retarded since its just basically a constant UAV, which honestly i don't know why they even have a UAV in the game since 6th sense just points you in the right direction just about every time...The spawning in the game is horrible, well if you play free for all that is, don't really know know much about any of the other matches in the game, but as far as free for all, where ever you spawn, spawns another player just 20 yards away from you if not spawns you next to a player on the map for a free kill or another death....On another note, camping has earned itself to a new level of stupidity as now when you play free for all, some players if not all will just camp a very likely spawn point or corner to win the game very easily, and they can very well get away with it, since the weapons are all basically overpowered. Hardcore mode is exactly what it sounds like, but with the weapons overpowered, everything in the arsenal is a one hit kill. Might as well call it one in the chamber on steroids.

    That's on the multiplayer side, now....Zombies...awesome, the one thing that the Black ops series has to offer. This time around, yeah they made it a lot harder to do, but with such a story line to go along with it and some obstacles and missions that you have to overcome to get out or unlock the pack a punch, its worth it. The only thing i don't like is that i usually like to play with my little brother in zombies and when you only play with 2, you can't pick up the tools you need without 4 people in the game. i don't know if that's just a bug or what, but thats really the only issue about it.

    The story is decent in my opinion, not to bad. As far as everything else. graphics are great and black ops 3 is just another call of duty game that will always sell for awaiting gamers in the gaming world.

    Yeah it would seem that all I am doing is venting about how much i despise black ops 3, but hey thats what were all doing here for right?    … Expand

    The problem with this game is twofold. Firstly the formula is starting to get very stale, I struggle to notice any real differences with Advanced Warfare other than a few tweaks and a reskin. Sure the 'powers' of specialists idea is nice to lean towards different modes but if you look at the online % everyones playing team deathmatch anyway and the silence on chat tells its own story.The problem with this game is twofold.

Sure the 'powers' of specialists idea is nice to lean towards different modes but if you look at the online % everyones playing team deathmatch anyway and the silence on chat tells its own story. Maybe it needs to go back to a cleaner time, WW2 again, up the player count and encourage people to play some of the other modes.

    I like the new revamped zombie mode but it just screams cash-in to have one map. The campaign is dreadful, somehow quite a good concept became one of the most boring COD campaigns I've ever had to play through and it feels a real backward step, particularly after Ghosts which tried to do something interesting. Shame it only gets good once you've completed it.

    The saving grace is the return 4 player casual co-op but the investment now into the loadouts, skillsets and tweaks means I'll struggle to persuade mates it's still fun for a blast which is a shame because wall running etc are filled with possibilities and the kill time is now so low it's very hard to play a casual fun game.

    Generally it feels like to me COD's lost its way a bit, the element of 'fun' seems crushed under a desire to overwhelm the player with a mass of options and unlocks and each year it seems to become less of a fun game to play and more of a training ritual. This year just seems to have dropped a few more notches than the last iterations.    … Expand

    Black Ops 3, while very innovative for a Call of Duty, is a massive disappointment multiplayer-wise.

Shotguns are extremely underrated, submachine guns (as is the usual with Treyarch) are great at hip firing, extremely accurate, and have little-to-no recoil, throwing the balance way off, i.e. it would take two headshots with a shotgun to kill someone about 2 meters away, and only two body shots from a submachine gun to kill someone from about 3 meters away. The fact that melee is a two-hit kill unless you use the Combat Knife is interesting, but not in the style of Call of Duty and a pretty gutsy feature from Treyarch. So would I recommend Call of Duty: Black Ops 3? No, honestly Call of Duty stopped being interesting after the second Black Ops game. For now, just go play Fallout 4, I'm not sure why everyone isn't anyways...… Expand

    I have to say the Graphics are incredibly stunning!

    That's just it. The gameplay is mediocre if not a sloppy second of many better titles. For the beginning player it puts someone into an incredibly abyssmal position if they're not familiar with the control scape. Kill streaks whether or not they provide give a significant imbalance to the multiplayer gameplay experience. This game    I have to say the Graphics are incredibly stunning!

    Call of Duty: Black Ops III is a massive disappointment. The gameplay is fine and the multiplayer is okay too but it's nothing new. I personally hate the zombies mode on this game. The story is really dumb and generic. The graphics look fine but the game is an overall letdown.

    The time to kill is ridiculously short, there are headglitching spots on every map and each gunfight is like a roll of the dice to see whose bullets fly faster. Enemies spawn both in front of you and behind you.

    The campaign is the worst COD campaign I have ever played.

    Haven't played Zombies yet, but I'm sure that's the best bit of the game.

    Disappointed.

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.
