    This review is based on the multiplayer only.

    This game's story is possibly the worst of all the CODs I've played, which is a shame because I've enjoyed the campaigns in every COD since World at War. Nevertheless, it's still playable - but the convoluted narrative just gives you a headache.

    ZOMBIES 2/10
    I absolutely loved the four zombie maps in World at War, and most of the maps in Black Ops I were great too. I hated zombies in Black Ops II, mainly because the maps were just too big - and they killed the ethos of nazi zombies by having all those pointless easter eggs. Exo-Zombies in Advanced Warfare is far more enjoyable than in BO2 or BO3.

    Black Ops III has the worst zombie maps of all - just way too big. The only consolation is the map The Giant, which is a re-imagined version of Der Riese. What also kills the game are those gobblegums that are absolutely needed to get anywhere in a game - and you need to play an awful lot of games to 'buy' these gobblegums from the vendor. P2W? No thank you.

    MULTIPLAYER 8/10
    I only started playing online with Ghosts because of my girlfriend - she loves MP in COD, and I thought I'd give it a try when I met her. Ghosts had maps that would have been great for Battlefield, i.e. they were too big for COD. Advanced Warfare had some decent maps, but the online just felt a bit sluggish at times.

    This is where BO3 excels - the multiplayer. Sure, some people hate the wall-running and boost jumping, but you just have to accept a game for what it is. I got into BO3 MP within a couple of hours of playing it. They kept the Pick-10 system, which works beautifully. You still get the usual no-scopers and quick-scopers, but nowhere as painful to play as any of the Modern Warfare series. If Treyarch were to remove quick-scoping and no-scoping (basically remove aim assist for all sniper rifles, heck I'd even accept if they removed aim assist for ALL weapons), then I'd bump the score up to a 9.

    OVERALL 7/10
    That's right, my rating isn't an average of the above three scores. Why not? I believe in trying to enjoy a game as much as possible. WAW, BO1 and AW had replay value because of zombies; MW, MW2, MW3 had reasonable MP but quick-sniping killed it really; Extinction mode in Ghosts was brilliant; and BO2 had little replay value because the MP wasn't great, zombies had awfully huge maps.

    I believe BO3 deserves a 7 because it has replay value if you can look past the wall-running/boost jumping in the multiplayer. There is a huge amount of customisation for your loadouts, not to mention you can create your own emblems, weapon skins, etc.    … Expand

In an age where sequels are extremely pressed to find something new while keeping things the same cod manages to stay fun. Plus, its surprising that this yearly franchise can hold so much more content with a decent campaign, interesting/fun zombies, and another extra zombie "story mode". So if you want a pretty decent and fun game pick it up, it'll hold your attention enough for your moneys worth, especially if you have friend to play it with.… Expand

    I think the best way to describe Black Ops 3 is 'bang average'.

    I'm not going to lie and say you won't have fun in multiplayer because you likely will and, despite the fact the franchise has been flogged to death, there still isn't anything quite like having a bash on COD every now and then.

    I'm not going to lie and say you won't have fun in multiplayer because you likely will and, despite the fact the franchise has been flogged to death, there still isn't anything quite like having a bash on COD every now and then.

    I'd say Black Ops 3's main failure is the campaign - it's a piece of **** Very dull gameplay with very dull and forgettable characters. This is the first COD I have played properly since MW3 and after playing a few hours of campaign it was immediately apparent that the Call Of Duty I knew and loved was no more. It feels like the game is having an identity crisis at times.

    One of the best things about COD campaigns when I was younger was the authentic feel of story line and the gameplay; In COD 4 and MW2 you actually felt like the events taking place were entirely possible in the real world. Coupled with the amazing stealth missions in both games, this created the ultimate FPS experience - you felt like a covert special forces soldier.

    Coming from that to this is somewhat a let down. The story line is too far fetched for my liking. Don't get me wrong, I do like futuristic/sci-fi games - but it's just not what COD should be about in my opinion.

    The multiplayer is pretty fun in my opinion (when it works). Me and my friends have all remarked at the bugginess of matchmaking in this release. You are constantly dealing with issues in which your party members aren't taken into lobbies with you, can't join your invites or can't send the invites in the first place. The maps aren't brilliant, though, and there isn't a lot of them at all. Class creation isn't as good as it should be, in my opinion (but that's just me) - I've never been a fan of the unlock points/class item slot limit thing.

    Zombies is actually pretty good. There's only one map though, granted, it is quite a large one. I'm still trying to work the map out (without watching YouTube videos) so I'm not in a position to give you a really in depths analysis of everything at this point though. I'm a bit biased when it comes to zombies, though. There's just something about it that I really enjoy. They could put a piece of **** map with zombies in front of me and I'd likely enjoy it.

One thing i will say though is that this is the most beautiful Call Of Duty game i have ever played as it is filled with more vibrant colours instead of grey and dull colours. I have not had a lot of time in the multiplayer but what i have played is just average Call Of Duty. The gunsmith and paintshop features a very interesting as the gunsmith allows you to create a variant to a weapon and the paintshop allows you to create your own camo for weapons. Zombies is the best thing about this game in my opinion. Shadows Of Evil features 4 new characters who are all portrayed by famous actors. The new leveling up system in zombies is a massive improvement from the Black Ops 2 system which hardly ever worked.

    Overall Black Ops 3 is not a perfect game but it is an improvement over the past two games we have been given. I recommend it if you are into casual FPS games or if you want to check out the zombies.    … Expand

    As a shooter, there is nothing fun about its formula. Movement is stiff, gameplay mechanics are dry. There really no tactical elements to this game. The average CoD player just waits behind a corner with a shotgun to kill you. I know that there will always be campers, but when an overwhelming majority of players camp, it is annoying.

    The community is also the worst. There are a lot of little kid with a very bad attitude and teens who feel cool from insulting people. Only in CoD can players run around with a sniper rifle, shoot the body, and call themselves quick scope snipers. More than often you will come across a sniper who is just mindlessly, carelessly quick scoping your body because he know that if he even hits your leg he will win the gun encounter.

    The maps are small, so player who know the spawn point will easily spawn kill. The super or specials are truly lame.

    Zombie Mode. Everyone rants about this mode. Buy it for zombies. There are many much better zombie games in the market that allow you to customize more, explore more, and kill zombies in much more creative ways. In Black Ops 3, there really is no purpose to zombie. You endless fights hoards of zombies with the same weapon, over and over again. You kill them the same way each and every time.

    Ultimately, despite it many installments, it's all the same, You mindlessly run around tight corridors and hope that there isn't anyone with a shotgun waiting for you as you turn a corner.    … Expand

Anyway , in most of the COD Franchise it's really fun collecting/using guns of enemy soldiers - you can browse through different attachment by picking up from ground one by one - and keep the one you like the most for the rest of the level .. I used them like this : I didn't like to reload in a firefight - after I emptied my clip - I used to quickly pick up the nearest gun lying around and frag with that - then the next ... like that you can finish large firefight in just a couple of seconds -
    anyway in BO3 - you can't pick up enemy weapons -- no, you read it right - YOU CAN"T PICK UP ENEMY WEAPONS WITHOUT UPGRADED AUGMENT(s) (which most of the players won't find easily) !! Why?? Cause , by some **** guns have bio-metric lock so only the owner can use it . Funny thing is that - robots also drop guns, but you can't use it either --- why??? because the Devs didn't want you to..Guns have less significant in this game anyway - sometimes you don't even have to shoot- you do some magic with your hand and people dies!
    This is COD : LONELY WARFARE , you play alone most of the time,yes you 'll have 1 helping buddy but he doesn't do much - the one level where you are trapped in a soon_to_be_underwater facility - the "rise of the machines" from dead looks cool - but that's all about it - shooting robots are not fun at all.
    Anyway , moving on . I have a medium end pc - amd phenom2 x 6 1090T and gtx 750ti with 8 gb ram. I tried witcher 3 with it - It gave me smooth frames @ high with 768P - the GPU temp was about 70-75deg C - processor usage about 50%. Anyone played witcher 3 knows how beautiful it is and how heavy it's on system.
    however, this piece of crap with dated graphics which looks like **** even with everything maxed out keeping my processor 100% overloaded all the time from start to finish!! where gpu temp never crosses 55deg - processor is getting overheated within an hour - processor temp goes to about 80-90 deg !!! No game till date used my processor upto 100% - no even for a fraction of second - not even un-optimized games like assassins creed unity.
    But this piece of poo keeping it at 100% loaded all the time!! No , PC didn't shutdown cause of overheat, but Im taking a break after about 45-60 mins just to be cautious.
    Voice acting is really good! cinematic moments fells real - ( spoiler ahead) In the point when giant robots tears apart the protagonists limbs feels chilling and you'll actually feel bad for him/her ( yes you can play as either a female or male).
    The whole game feels like a movie. An interactive movie .
    So , In short : Is it as groundbreaking as COD:UO or MW4 ? - no .
    Is the gunplay good ? - not at all!! ( though the wall-running and shooting people in the head while wall_running feels good ) .
    But you'll play it anyway - cause we all like to watch a movie - right?    … Expand

    A better cod than most in recent years, but still not even a fraction as good as the golden years of Cod 4 to BO1.

    The serious netcode issues that plagued MW3, BO2 and AW are thankfully not here.

    The serious netcode issues that plagued MW3, BO2 and AW are thankfully not here. Not to say its perfect, but for a series that unfathomably would have some of the worst online in the industry has thankfully been somewhat improved.

    Multiplayer maps are as chaotic as ever with a complete lack of flow, keeping true to the clustered messes of recent years. Its better than AW in this regard, but dont expect much. Target identification is also very poor. The next generation and its lighting effects and ability to throw random pieces of garbage every 6 inches on the ground makes players often blend into environments, the models don't pop.

    As for the rest of the package, it is loaded with content. A lot of it won't matter to much of the audience, but Treyarch has definitely given players a lot of things to do if they desire.

    Overall its an ok game, a weakish cod, but better than most of what we have seen in recent years.    … Expand

    Are people buying this game just to give it a zero? If you hate it so much why are you here? You know what this game is gonna be about by now folks. I've played probably every COD. Started playing MP with MWarfare. My opinion is these games have sort of become something else over the years. It is almost as if they should not carry the same name.

I've played probably every COD. Started playing MP with MWarfare. My opinion is these games have sort of become something else over the years. It is almost as if they should not carry the same name. If you played COD 3 and then played BLOPS3 and were told it was the same title you would be shocked just because the whole vibe and feel has changed so much. That said...
    I am enjoying the MP experience this go around. It does not feel like Blops1 or 2 but it is a better feel than AW that is for sure. I think some of the maps are really great and some are pretty awful. I dislike how the maps have become this "every room must have 6 entrances" thing so nobody can camp. I personally don't camp because I think it's boring. But you should be able to take a breather in a space and form a new plan w/o 4 people shooting you in the back. That is how real world spaces are made. 1 maybe 2 entrances and some available cover. I think that aspect of COD has been lost. I don't care much for the suits and jumping abilities so I don't really use it often but that's just my style. I am in the camp that would like to see some return to reality with this title. Be it with a WW2 era or normal modern era. I think the future thing has definitely run its course, especially in the map design. Boxy, square shapes and futurist buildings that have no real vibe to them. I much prefer a war torn village or a mansion full of toys to shoot. I would like this game to slow down a lot too. It's gotten a bit out of hand, like you just float as you walk instead of feeling like you actually take steps. For me it is a solid 7. Definitely worth the buy with all of the content and I am enjoying the MP with some of the maps being very strong.    … Expand

    Worst COD in the series to date. Honestly, if it weren't for the same old engine they use every year, this wouldn't be COD. Character selection is a gimmick (Just another perk system on top of a perk system). Characters run at the speed of light but animations are as slow as a 90 year old grandma. Bullets are up to host/client latency, characters make 12 year old jibberish chit chat thatWorst COD in the series to date.

Bullets are up to host/client latency, characters make 12 year old jibberish chit chat that cant be disabled, more jumping around on walls is encouraged... what happened to the GOOD COD series? The ones that had pride in the shooter it was. Now we get served up with this crap and they get their yearly cash grab. Lastly, renaming your loadouts ... any word currently in the webster dictionary has been banned, including the word "primary"... you cant use the word primary!!! WTF?!?!? But yet, I need to listen to these 12 year old toonish looking animations curse before during and after the match? F this game.… Expand

    In short. If you hated MW multiplayer and the calculated lag then keep walking. YES STIL NO DEDICATED SERVERS ON CONSOLES. "LAG". AGAIN THEY LIED AGAIN..... The good thing is that there is more content. But the corporate overlords won regarding calculated lag.It a shame as treyarc is a good developer.....

    Campaign ending is horrible.

    Servers are down a total of 12 hours a day and you cant even play singleplayer campaign when it is because the game dont load you singleplayer save file.

    And with sever issues online play is a chore. Servers can kick you at any time.

    The saving grace of Black Ops 3 is Zombies.
    Its extremely fun but also plauged by server issues.
    Its not very beginner friendly but once you get the hang of it its extremely fun, especially in Co-op.

    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]
