    Black Ops 3 isn't a masterpiece but I believe there is fun to be had. the campaign is pretty solid with missions that don't follow the CoD formula and a moderately interesting story. the Zombies is a fun addition that gives you a wide variety of tasks to fulfil while adding some new things to the CoD zombies lore. the multiplayer is pretty fun also some of the maps are well designed andBlack Ops 3 isn't a masterpiece but I believe there is fun to be had. the campaign is pretty solid with missions that don't follow the CoD formula and a moderately interesting story. the Zombies is a fun addition that gives you a wide variety of tasks to fulfil while adding some new things to the CoD zombies lore. the multiplayer is pretty fun also some of the maps are well designed and colourful but some of the other maps are really horrible, the guns are decent and well balanced the subs and AR'S feel very reminiscent of one another though (similar damage, fire rate and range etc.) much like last years Advanced Warfare the exo suit is an unwelcome addition that gets pretty irritating due to players constantly using it to get out of your line of fire none the less the multiplayer is the best and most entertaining it has been since black ops 2.

    Very fun co-op campaign including a Nightmare mode with zombies. Multiplayer is very fun, fluid, great customization tools, great and detailed maps fleeing a bit of sense of futurism that the game it's proposed (this brings nostalgia for those who enjoy the old cods). And then there's a lot of content to unlock. Amazing, one of the best COD ever.

    My only complaint about this game is you have to play $50 to play the same zombie map that you played in WaW and BO1 2 million times. Oh and wallrunning will get you killed and the auto aim is ridiculous

Then I tried the multiplayer and it is quite fun aswell - I enjoy the speed and agility of the matches which in combination with the specialists makes for a great few hours of gameplay aswell.

Zombies has only gotten weirder and more elaborate but features a "new" ranking up system for zombies with prestiging like it is in multiplayer. Though zombies does have a few flaws with the way the zombies hit you, they hit you far too fast. you run out of ammo? Have to reload? You may as well give up because one zombie can come literally SPRINTING in and K.O you in a second and you're downed. I'm feeling a light 9 with this game, very little flaws (except for the ones in zombies, as there are more flaws i didn't mention which are likely to be patched in the future).… Expand

    The singleplayer campaign has been pretty blah so far, I'm about 50% of the way through it. The casting of a familiar detective as Taylor and the intrigue played up around the events of an early level that takes place in post-apocalyptic Shanghai are fun little perks so far, but honestly, who bought this game for the story?

    Multiplayer is downright FUN, with guns that sound great, feel powerful, and ultimately serve their purpose beautifully. The sniper rifles are a bit lacking in real panache, which I found saddening as a guy who loves sniping, but for the first time ever in a CoD game I found myself having fun using the LMGs, which was neat (go, go Gorgon!). The maps are actually very good, with lots of detail to pick out and explore. You may find yourself diving into the algae-filled water of an abandoned aquarium, or running along the curved walls of silos at a farm in the middle of nowhere. Level design is great, and makes for exciting gameplay of all kinds, near and far, on pretty much every map.

    Zombies is fun but the learning curve is steep. I have yet to make it past round 10 because I have no friends who play the game and always get matchmaked with newbies. You have to know what you're doing and where to go, and when you're on a team that isn't working in sync the zombies campaign can be brutally difficult.

    Overall, a return to quality for Treyarch that I sincerely enjoyed. Renewed my interest in the franchise substantially.    … Expand

    After two crappy games (Ghosts and AW) Treyarch finally made a worthy part of the franchise. Black Ops III is freaking awesome, it do feels like Black Ops II but an enchanted and beautiful version of it. Don't believe the haters, they hate it because they suck in it. The reason I am not giving it a 9 is because they still didn't added hardpoint to the hardcore section.

    Harsh user reviews seem to come from people who are simply just looking for a game that replicates their favorite old COD.

I quit gaming and shooters for some time and after a couple years was dreading buying another call of duty simply because I was unimpressed by everything after MW3. I was pleasantly suprised with BO3.

    First off, the multiplayer feels solid as ever. I especially like how you're able to fire your weapon during ANY action, whether it be mantling, wallrunning, or swimming. I feel like in a close quarters fire fight this ups the intensity. The nature of the maps themselves provide mostly balanced approach options and campers don't last very long. There are always maps people are going to hate, lets just get that out of the way before you crucify map design in general.

    Not sure about weapon balancing. I'm finding a high damage **** accuracy smg is taking more bullets to kill than a low damage high accuracy smg (with a lower fire rate). However, I don't feel like there are any ridiculously overpowered/overused weapons as of right now in multiplayer. I've noticed no patterns or immediately felt like someone was cheap for using a certain gun (maybe i'm just salty about ACRs from MW3).

    The specialist aspect is a nice touch, though they kind of feel a tad out of place in their balance. Some specialist weapons such as the Reaper's Scythe/Battery's War Machine essentially let you go on a rampage, whereas Nomad's H.I.V.E nearly forces you to camp in order to get your mileage out of it.

    I haven't gotten too deep into campaign mode but i sorely wish that the customization options (visual wise) available in this mode were available in multiplayer. Having a completely customized character from gender, to armor, to loadouts, to abilities makes for a different experience with every playthrough. Though I haven't completed it, it is always something I always contemplate instead of starting up multiplayer.

    However, from what I've played, Campaign mode, blissfully departs from the linear nature of your typical shooter, allowing you to jump into any mission, adjusting your loadouts and abilities as such. Having a couple friends join you on a mission mixes things up quite a bit. Though I think campaign will go unnoticed in lieu of multiplayer and zombies. It's worth a shot though.

    Zombies is as deep as ever, with even more customization options than ever (you can now gain experience towards unlockables and custom loadouts). A very entertaining plot and is fun in general.

    In terms of value, and in lieu of games coming out in this generation, I felt BO3 was worth the buy. Far too often games are released prematurely, or simply don't have the mileage to make an 80 dollar price tag worth it (not to mention purchasing online membership and seasons packs to boot). Hell, zombies alone could have been released as a standalone game (Treyarch please don't do this).

    Anywho, hopefully some users find this useful from someone who has delved into the game for more than a month.    … Expand

    As someone who has played the series since the early PC days this is definitely one of my favorite entries. The game feels very solid and feature rich from the very beginning. There's plenty of additions to the campaign like loadout configuration and a place to see collectibles that actually make it seem like the devs weren't just grinding out another mindless iteration.

In general, everything is less flat across the board. More detail, more options, more gameplay variety. The core mechanics are preserved.

    **End of Game Review**

    I will now criticize the idiotic and blatantly stupid gaming community reviewing games.

    This is Call of Duty. You crutch on aim assist, quick scope down sight, and cook grenades around blind corners etc. What do all these absurdly negative reviewers honestly expect here? A non-Call of Duty suspiciously named Call of Duty?

    I'm not certain I understand this new wave of Yelp game reviews that feel the need to take up arms over every new game that releases. There was an open beta, did they just throw in their time and money anyway in hopes it would magically make them happy? Did they not play the beta? Are they just angry at themselves for shelling out $59.99 mindlessly the same time every year and so they differ this lack of intelligent purchasing decisions back toward metacritic in the form of angry, unintelligent and ultimately shallow critiques that normally amount to "Treyarch just staph, do you even?".

    The state of gamers these days is really pathetic and hard to watch as they somehow try to inspire devs to make better games by simply handing them free money and then complaining on the internet. Maybe stop going for that Nth prestige this year and take a basic economics class, the only thing organizations understand is profit margin, no one cares about some butthurt reviews on a third party review aggregator. Let me be clear for the die hard fan, if you don't like the franchise installment, stop purchasing it.

    "But I took it back to Gamestop the day after and got $29.95".

    Campaign, although confusing at times, was an amazing looking and overall fun experience in the game.
    Zombies was decent, but also pretty complicated. They added a Zombies Campaign and Free-run modes which were both really fun, especially Zombies Campaign.

What Treyarch did, however, was introduce some new concepts to the Multiplayer that are seriously awesome additions that make the game more challenging and fun to play. On the other hand, Zombies is phenomenal....it could be a separate game in itself. The single player campaign takes risks and tells a compelling, intriguing, and most importantly, unique story that isnt the same rehashed **** At the end of the day, I actually love sitting down and playing this game...a feeling I don't always get even from those highly critically acclaimed, "did every aspect of the game right" kinda games. I am impressed with what Treyarch did with this game and being my favorite COD developer, they definitely met my expectations. I don't even want to call the reviewers on here trolls...they are more like broken recorders. Even if COD went through the comment section and fixed everything that was making people mad, they would still complain about how it comes out every year, or how the graphics suck, or how the only thing you do is shoot people or whatever other absurd unjustified **** they can think of. In all honestly, I would give this game an 8.5 (more towards a 9 than an 8) merely for the fact that there have been slight lag issues occasionally, but they have not been game breaking by any means. My one gripe with this game is the graphics. Come on Treyarch, you guys are working with two new powerhouse machines...you guys should be able to deliver some really nice graphical touches to your games.

    All in all, this is a very fun COD, the best since Black Ops 2. I would put it behind MW, MW2 and BLOPS, but it easily one of the best games in the overall franchise. And don't listen to the 4.7 user score- even if some of the points made by the negative reviewers are valid, no game this big deserves a friggen zero or a one (which is what a majority of the reviews are giving it).    … Expand

After that game I just feared that the moaners had there way of trying to change a working recipe. If you want a different game play a different game, but leave COD as it is. Multiplayer show most players liking core TDM or Domination, but I'm a fan of CTF and I've spent 99% of my time playing that mode. I feels smooth and quick, but not stupid COD AW quick. The wall running is done well as to the double jump. There is the usual dsync moments you get with every FPS game. The aim asset is alot less than it was in the beta or it might be broken on mine as I never notice it, instead I notice a lot in killcams people potato aiming.
    I play a little zombies with 2 other mates and one random person. It's just as good as the old Black ops 1 days. Good looking game mode with moments of WTF is happening and where are those damn zombies coming from. Many laughs had and we truly enjoyed it.
    I've played up to mission 4 on campaign with one friend in Co-op and we again had fun. We played on Hardcore difficulty as we wanted to have fun and not get too frustrated, but at the same time have some difficulty. The story might be good, but playing with a friend we spent most cut scenes talking about how great they looked instead of listening to the dialog. So far I'm enjoying it and I can't wait to jump on it again.

Call of Duty has two major platforms that people generally purchase the game for. The Multiplayer and Zombies.

    I have always enjoyed the zombie maps but they become redundant if you are trying to solo them. They are best played online. The whole "Swing" era of zombies is a nice touch on the Nazi Zombies but I am finding it a lot more difficult and confusing then previous games. Before you had one objective and that was to try to survive as many rounds as possible. I find that there are a lot of new obstacles to learn which takes a bit of the fun out of this. I think they should have decreased the difficulty a little bit. Otherwise its still a lot of fun with friends. The music is fantastic and the graphics are very impressive (especially going beast mode).

    Multiplayer:
    Multiplayer is multiplayer. I am not a huge fan of the maps. I find a lot of them very similar. I do like the fact that there are hardly any camping spots but the maps leave something to be desired. The guns feel somewhat balanced at the moment but that is subject to change until someone finds one to abuse. That can be fixed with patches at least. There arent as many scorestreaks being used which is nice. There are no longer 6 UAVS and 3 choppers at once in a map so surviveability is up.

    Jumping:
    Seems like they improved the jumping from Advanced Warfare (which I thought was atrocious). The running on walls is a nice touch

    Specials:
    Still need to be balanced. I prefer using the abilities rather than specials but the abilities are terrible in comparison.

    Campaign:
    Love that they added co-op. makes it a bit more enjoyable. I have always preferred Treyarchs campaign over Activision.

If you bought the season pass or the deluxe edition you even have access to the remastered World At War classic: The Giant. (Der Riese) But this is not all. As soon as you start the game a new mode named free-run is available for you to improve your skills with the new movement system and once you finish the campaign, nightmares mode is unlocked which combines the intensity of the campaign with the world famous zombies mode and it is executed perfectly! In short, campaign is fun but most enjoyable with friends, the multiplayer mode will keep you coming back for more and zombies is more fun and challenging than ever!

    Multiplayer is one of the best yet. They took back lots of thing we had in BO2 and the new movement are cool. I was fearing those, but after 3-4 game I can't stop using it! The new class systeme could have been missing and it would have be a greater game, but I don't hate to much either, but it's like if they tried to copy destiny.

    Did not try other mode, but I'm one of those that don't like to play zombie, because it's just killing zombie, will play Dead island or Dying Light if I want to do that.

    Graphics are better than the previous COD, but I don't think that we have the best we can get on PS4.

    Sounds of guns are not as good as in other COD. Feel less realistic and more like an arcade game. (Well, I've always said that COD is the arcade game of war-gaming and Battlefield the real simulator lol)

    Call of Duty: Black Ops III is a great game; nothing more, nothing less. It's one of those games that is good or bad depending on how you look at it.

The Zombies mode is alot of fun too, even if it takes some time to get used to it. (The Beast, Rituals, etc.) I especially like the new supply drop feature of having its own currency to open them, as well as certain weekend periods where you can earn double experience points. It's a solid FPS overall, however it does have its shortcomings. The campaign is best enjoyed with friends, however the story itself is as boring as your typical CoD game. Plus, the new movement system isn't really all that. I know the constant argument will be that it's just the same game just re-skinned, but if you just take a step back from the hatred of the CoD franchise, it's a good game, and it shouldn't be written off as nothing.

    Finally a COD worth playing. Many people are stating that this game did not add much to the franchise. In all honesty I am happy that Black Ops 3 went more traditional. It feels like Black Ops 2. If you where a huge fan of Black Ops 2, you would know what I mean. The story was good, and I love the new zombies mode. In my opinion its a must buy if you where a fan of Black Ops 2.

The multipayer is fun and the maps haven't finally turned back into well laid out maps (for the most part) with cool wall running sections tastefully laid across maps, being especially fun on the map redwood. The guns actually have more distinct feels and have actually become validated for different uses again. Zombies is fun buy VERY HARD. It really does require team work so solo players may become frustrated. Lots of customisation to get yourself lost in in every game mode; campaign, zombies and multiplayer. This game is not like a crazy next gen game as graphics are more of the same, jusy with a little more polish. Gameplay is fun though and that is what mattera most.
    I have not played the campaign but come on seriously guys, who buys COD for the campaign nowadays anyway? MW1&2 days are over. So basically no comment on that for now.
    A really fun game that has executed it's vision well. I feel like fanboys are giving this game toooo much praise and every other gamer jusy wants to hate on it because COD has been **** ever since BLOPS 1, but seriously this game is pretty fun.

I generally only care about the multiplayer when it comes to COD. These maps are great; very three-dimensional.

    Regarding all the 0 - 3 reviews; most of them clearly didn't even buy the game. Most COD's are very similar with minor tweaks to skill trees, abilities, maps, and movements. Why would so many people spend $60 or more on a game they hate so much when they know, for the most part, what they are getting before even trying it. For some reason, COD has become so polarizing because of it's fairly consistent formula, and the reviews reflect that, but I do not believe the reviews reflect the quality of the actual gameplay or player disposition...    … Expand

    Review is multiplayer based:

    I enjoyed playing 8 hours of Black Ops 3 more than I enjoyed dozens of hours of Advanced Warfare and Ghosts combined. After Black Ops 2, I switched to Battlefield because it was the more enjoyable video game. There was no true Call of Duty on the current gen console. With Black Ops 3, it feels like we finally got a Call of Duty worthy on being on next gen.    Review is multiplayer based:

With Black Ops 3, it feels like we finally got a Call of Duty worthy on being on next gen. It actually offers something new (specialists, thrusters, wall running, paint shop). Its not the most extraordinary addition, but it offers something fresh compared to previous CoDs. The map design is pretty well, with each map being unique in its own way. You're not constantly trying to find people and the color schemes are very vibrant. The gun physics feel similar to that of Black Ops II, which is in no means a bad thing. It feels satisfying to use Treyarch's weapons, it feels satisfying to feel bullets hit targets, and it feels satisfying getting the kill shot marker. As a long term Call of Duty fan who felt disgusted with Ghosts and Advanced Warfare, I think it's safe to say Black Ops III makes up for the past two years. It's not the best CoD, but it's better than the CoDs currently available on PS4 and Xbox One. It is a simple, fun, and easy to pick up arcade shooter.

    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]
