    Black Ops 3 is a great sequel to the extremely successful trilogy in the Call of Duty franchise. It's not fantastic though, as there are some areas where is flops. Most notably, Zombies mode.

Ravensoft tried to do it with aliens in Ghost, and Sledgehammer tried with Advanced Warfare and it was terrible, but usually Treyarch makes Zombies modes that people like. However, this year they have failed. The characters have nothing special about them, the map is filled with squids and tentacles, and the Easter Egg ending is the worst.
    It's not just Zombies that's disappointing about this game. The campaign mode wasn't exactly entertaining either, but then again that's not why people like the Black Ops games. It's the multiplayer. And that's where this game deserves and 8. The multiplayer will keep you entertained for so long, with a variety of different modes that are all a lot of fun and allow you to see how terrible you are compared to some of the other players out there. Kinda like Rocket League.
    Overall, Black Ops 3 is not as good as Black Ops 2, but it's a good sequel with a lot of exciting content. It's only worth a buy if you like these kind of games. Otherwise, don't bother.    … Expand

    I haven't played CoD since Black Ops I, and I have to admit it got me really addicted after the first 10-15 hours of multiplayer.
    The single player is a part I don't care about, and can't tell anything about it. It's the multiplayer that keeps us playing hours after hours!
    The jumping and jet pack make me feel like in Destiny, but the wall running opens so many possibilities.
    Thumbs UP!

    We all play call of duty games for different reasons, and all of those reasons are present in black ops 3, theres zombies mode for the gamer girls and teenage boys with 14 different maps to get your wave mode on, theres multiplayer with its jetpacks and sliding and wall climbing with all of the classic modes, pretty decent maps, but theres a destiny like addition with these moves you can pull of tht recharge as you play through the match, and there are multiple different moves for you to choose from to change strategies fo different match types.. I don’t really have much to say about the multiplayer because its not really what I play for, its fun, its addictive. But im here for the campaign which is where this special move is pulled from…
    And I was pleasantly surprised with what we get here with black ops 3..
    This isn’t my favorite campaign in the series, but I feel this campaign is by far the coolest.. it doesn’t even feel like a call of duty campaign, this could’ve easily been a standalone ip as it tells the story of man vs machine, and this campaign is a hefty 10 hours long give or take depending on the difficulty, I played half of the campaign on easy and half of it on hard..
    And this campaign does so many cool things..
    at the beginning of the store a robot just rips you apart so you spend the rest of the game as an augmented human, but of course the agments and the dni is being messed with, controlling the minds of your comrads, you spend the game trying to get to the bottom of this…
    With these augments youre able to do crazy things, each mission you cn choose if you want moves for control, chaos, or combat.. I played mostly with chaos as I felt there was an equal balance of attacks I could use against humans as well as robots, also It allows you to unleash these fireflied that eat the humans in your wy and you get to sing the fireflies song while they do that..
    but there are multiple ways you can playthrough this campaign thanks to these controls, such as hackig everything and taking control watch dogs style if youd like…
    the first half of the campaign I felt to be pretty soulless though..
    I felt like I was really just going through the motions.. but as the story goes on things just get weirder and weirder an I would have to stop myself to remind myself that this is indeed a call of duty game..
    and a war vs robots.. they play with illusions and memories here, its nice to see that the team was let of the leash and allowed to be free, and they crated something truly unique..
    Though this campaign does suffer pacing problems and annoyances if you are playing on higher difficulties..
    Checkpoints can be infuriating at times and theres this giant wall of garbage in the final chapter that I just couldn’t take anymore on hard because of its infinite spawning drones and robots.. this mission felt completely unbalanced for the difficulty, its jus just not fun or fair to have infinite drones that can kill you in 1 or 2 his while youre trying to weaken a larger enemy yards away to get in one rocket shot at a time with no progress being saved while you do this.. on top of that friendly fire is on and your team mates will run in front of you instantly failing the mission..
    I just didn’t have the patience AFTER CHIPPING away at this mission for what was at least an hour…
    though this was the only section of the game that I found to be unfair and unbalanced..
    I didn’t necessarily have fun with this campaign, but I ultimately appreciate it for trying new things
    showing players that call of duty is its buttery smooth shooting more than its military focus don’t get me wrong, this is still a military based campaign.. but its so far in the background that you hardly notice, I wouldn’t mind if call of duty contined to let one of its teams play around with its campaigns like it did here and actually step away from military a but, I dubt that would happen, but with this game I see the possibility..

    Best Call of Duty in years. They've finally gotten the faster mobility, including wall-running and super jumping, worked out to a level of buttery smoothness, which helps in all areas of the game. Multiplayer isn't the twitchy mess that Advanced Warfare was, and the campaign is super fresh.

    CoD 3 might not have a great story or characterization but it does one thing right - it's fun. The shooting is solid and there's enough varied content to offer re-playability for a long time. Sure this game lacks in almost all supporting aspects (forgettable story, soundtrack, and graphics could be better) but none of that interfered with gameplay.

    Yes, campaign is terrible.
    I'm also not interested in Zombies.

    But multiplayer is pure gold.
    Jetpacks are well made and has no such influence as everyone might think.
    Everything is balanced and works properly.
    There is sooo much content and challanges to unlock.
    Also lor inside multiplayer is cool thing.

    No one playing COD at this point is playing it for the campaign. True, the game SHOULD be judged on the content included on disc so a bad campaign should definitely be critiqued, but the multiplayer quality is what should determine whether or not you purchase the game, if you are one of the three people that haven't made a decision on it yet.

    This is easily the most well balanced and    No one playing COD at this point is playing it for the campaign. True, the game SHOULD be judged on the content included on disc so a bad campaign should definitely be critiqued, but the multiplayer quality is what should determine whether or not you purchase the game, if you are one of the three people that haven't made a decision on it yet.

    This is easily the most well balanced and polished cod in terms of online multiplayer. If you liked black ops and black ops 2, you WILL like this one. The new movement takes some getting used to but it isn't something that can be abused to good effect. It's easy to kill people wall running, easy to kill them in mid air while floating and easy to kill gravity spikes if you see them coming. The new movement system has not broken the game like some people thought it would.

    The maps are decent once you get used to them. There are at least 3 (not including nuk3town) that are actually really good. The rest range from tolerable to mediocre. None are completely awful. Each map has sections where the different weapon classes can thrive. People haven't seemed to figure that out yet though and still run around in the open with a gun that they should be "camping" with.

    The weapons are varied and each has it's advantages in certain situations, except for the garbage shotgun that has to be in cod every year for some reason. You know the one, it's the shotgun that you can never get past in gun game, why is that in every installment? The big complaint was with sniping but I have had no issues with it. It still works like normal, just less auto aim. Who cares, just practice.

    Overall, you are either a cod player or you aren't but if somehow you are on the fence, don't let the 4.7 user score put you off, it's worth a purchase and you will get plenty of hours of entertainment out of it.

Nothing feels as satisfying as wall running and gunning down the people below or leaping from underwater into the air and ambushing players and thanks to the player death mic feature hearing "muthaf***n ninja!" is common. The single player is your standard 6 hour campaign with a decent story filled with plot twist and your standard action movie stop the bad guys, although with the addition of customizable character and coop this is probably the biggest improvement over previous titles. Multiplayer also added new levels of customization both to cosmetics and gameplay with the new specialist system allowing more advantages based on playstyle. Zombies feels as if its returning to its roots versus the last couple titles. I can honestly say this has been a positive experience with the franchise for myself and with all the modes allowing coop there is much more replayability.… Expand

There's a lot of flexibility in play style allowed. I mostly play multiplayer and I'm glad to say, so far, the score streaks seem much less brutal than in the last 2 incarnations, allowing balance to continue throughout the game. I, like another reviewer, do wish there were no one shot guns, or at least only to the head requiring more skill The multiplayer levels do seem quite varied and I like most, with the exception of the extremely bland Stronghold. I'm in the UK and I haven't as yet had any significant lag, which makes a change.
    The campaign is competent, but does seem a little flat. I'm only about 20% through, so perhaps it will pick up. Not played Zombies yet, so this review does not take this into account.
    It's ridiculous to give this game a 1 or even a 0. Even if you hate Call of Duty generically. Clearly some have not played the game. After all, if you have hated CoD with a passion for years, why would you have bought it again, especially as the Beta was freely available?

    Call of duty has long been viewed as a cash cow, put out to feed between yearly instalments, and then milked for all it's worth.

    While The COD franchise isn't exactly Half life, it definitely fits a niche in the gaming community. I'm happy to say that black ops 3 not only scratches my itch for twitchy cod shooting, but also comes packed with an almost ridiculous amount of content for a cod game.

    Treyarch have long been my favourite COD developer, ever since world at war they've been able to take a setting and twist in a very interesting fashion. while infinity ward used to be the top dogs of the COD series, i feel that ever since their studio heads were sacked they have been on a downhill slide. MW 1 + 2 were fantastic games, but MW3 and Ghosts were bland modern shooters with little promise.

    Black ops 3 proves that Treyarch still actually care about the product they're putting out. While the story campaign didn't exactly have me gushing, it's competently woven together much like the jumper your granny knitted for you last christmas. The addition of cyber cores is an interesting touch, adding an aspect of RPG to the familiar COD formula. The power trip in the first mission when you get access to almost all of the powers was a decent hook in getting me to use the system. Like many others I found the martial tree to be the most useful, this tree is based around basically becoming chuck Norris, and grants you an instant kill punch, ground pound and a hard to control, but super powerful charge which can wipe out groups of enemies. The other two trees were interesting, based around basically becoming a fire mage and a hacker respectively, but I found them to be less useful then martial. All in all the campaign was a decent chunk of fun shooty action, and cleverly embraces the old cod tradition, of getting together three mates and some beer to have a good old fashion drunken time.

    Multiplayer is as tight as ever, with the now trade mark pick ten system, mixed in with some much gentler free running mechanics then last years advanced warfare, where it was endlessly frustrating when your target jumped 50 feet in the air out of your reticle like a giant armed flea.The free running allows for bigger maps that don't feel as empty as previous big maps, like the much dreaded Drone and turbine from Black ops 2. The addition of specialists is also a nice little tweak to the Multiplayer, giving you the ability to pick a character before the game that has either a special power or weapon that are on a countdown timer, much like the titans from Titanfall. Most importantly you can still get your 3 drunken buddies and split screen it up, unlike in Halo 5.

    It's the time all black ops fans have been waiting for, ZOMBIES! The classic Treyarch mode is back, and just as good as its ever been. My initial disappointment at only having one map available (if you didn't pre-order) was quite great, The new map is excellent, but i'm really feeling the absence of the smaller maps like Black ops 2's Town. The new map is Shadows of evil, a 1920's style dystopian history, with 4 new characters stuck in a glitzy vegas style city, that screams of Bioshock. I feel that this sort of ridiculous over the top setting is perfect for zombies, and the banter between characters is as good as the days of Kino der Toten. The addition of Gumballs (which give short bonuses and act as a supplement to existing perks) is a nice touch. The Ability to "BECOME THE BEAST" is another interesting feature, basically when **** hits the fan you can run over to a special fountain like object, and turn into some sort of mixture of Cthulu and a jelly fish from hell. it lasts for a short time but can rip the zombies a new one. you need top be careful though as its on a long Cool down. The difficulty has been given a steroid shot however. While myself and some mates who were generally alright at zombies used to be able to blast towards the 40s, we very quickly discovered that we were getting our asses handed to us in the first ten rounds.

    All in all Black ops 3 is a proper entry into the COD franchise, it ticks all the boxes for what a good COD needs but also goes one further, adding small but noticeable innovations and tweaks to the standard formula, to really make the game shine. I'd give BO3 a higher score but the multiplayers not running totally smooth just yet, and the game costs an arm and a leg here in crickey, stone the crows, meat pies, Australia. 100 dollars AUS, or 70 bucks US.    … Expand

    Multiplayer - 9/10. Its fun, fast paced, has balanced weapons, and the new specialist classes are a nice change of pace. With amazing graphics, 60 frames per second, and balanced gameplay, Treyarch once again delivers a fun call of duty multiplayer experience. With a few new additions, but nothing game changing, its good old call of duty (way better than the last two games).

    Campaign - 7/10. Co op and extremely detailed customization makes the story mode a lot of fun. There are now different approaches to play style with the 3 variety of power classes and the custom weapon classes option. The story lacks any good pace, suspense, or character development which is a surprise for treyarch who has recently provided a great story with their last two installments. But we finally have co op!

    Is Black ops 3 game changing? No its not. But treyarch has taken over as the go to call of duty developers. This is the best multiplayer since black ops 2 (which was amazing) and even though the story is nothing to be desired, co op is a welcome add in and zombies always delivers. THIS IS A REAL REVIEW. INSULTING THE DEVELOPERS FOR NOT MAKING HUGE GAME CHANGING IDEAS AND GIVING THE GAME A ZERO IS NOT. IF YOU DONT LIKE THE CALL OF DUTY FORMULA, STOP BUYING IT EVERY YEAR.    … Expand

The specialists are well balanced and useful. The reason this review supports only a 9 is because of the belly-aching let-down of Zombies. The much anticipated Zombies storyline continues, but this time with very difficult environments, and tougher enemies making a solo experience impossible to enjoy. The Giant bonus map was also a big let-down, as it had changed to much and was all the more difficult to enjoy, wiping away my nostalgia. Perhaps adjustments can be made to respect this new zombies experience, but until I can, this review will remain at 9/10. Great camping and multiplayer, truly a game for all FPS fans.… Expand

    Despite the bandwagon mentality this game is stellar and is not stale like last years Advanced Warfare. The Biggest in the series and in my opinion one the best. Black Ops 3 is essentially 3 games in 1 topped of with a futuristic flair that surpasses the likes of Crysis and Titanfall

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I´ve been a cod player since the first Cod for ps2 (before big red one), and I really like cod games for their difficult MP's, the sensation that I can change the curse of every game, and the very well made campaigns (somewhat difficult to understand, but they always bring something exciting to the games). The only cod I didn't like was Ghost. It was good, an amazing campaign, fun horde mode, but a big misstep for MP due to the big maps. I also played BF3 and BF4 as a big fan of FPS, but then I realized everything that EA touches turns into crap. I lost faith in FPS, I didn't get advanced warfare as well.

    Let me tell you BO3 recovered my hopes.

    Campaign: 8.5. Campaign is very well written (although not as much as BO1). The story itself I very mature, hard to understand, sometimes predictable, but interesting enough to keep you playing (something other FPS's just cant accomplish). The mechanics in campaign are fun thanks to ciber abilities. I must say, it is the weakest campaign of the past 3 games in terms of infiltration missions, big size battles, and overall the great action-based sections of other cod campaigns, but the possibility of 4 player coop, personalization, and the fact it is designed for 4 players (not forced as cod 5) makes it very enjoyable.

    Multiplayer: 10. A BLAST. It is hard to explain the potential of very skilled plays. The thrust jump is very controllable, running walls is intuitive, even the little smash while prompted become useful since in all these actions you keep control over your actions and your gun. The progression system, the new perks variety, the pick 10 system, the combo perks (for even more flexibility in the class creation), the specialist itself, the well rounded pack of weapons BO3 offers; there is just A LOT of content to fit your playstyle and even to redefine it. Shotguns feel great and powerful, snipers one shot-kill you, there's no way you cant find that one combination that makes you feel very comfortable, and gives you a lot of fun while not sacrificing "power" to still in the top 3 of every match. Specialists only add even more content to personalize your class, and their special abilities really makes a big difference in the outcomes of battles. Also, the score design is more objective focused than ever; the times I successfully accomplish objectives without dying is were my scorestreaks breaks the limits.

    Zombies: 8. As a huge fan of zombie mode, I certainly enjoyed this one as well. The new zombies map is immersive, creepy, interesting. Biggest content of all zombies map. The only let down is its difficulty. Specially for the ones who cant hold juggernaut because of dying every round, you will keep trying get past round 10. Because of this, I find myself often playing the Giant (the remake of der Riese).

    Overall: Graphics are great, sounds are stunning, every gun feels just right, steps sound awesome (if you get wet, the sound of steps also change), there are very few minor bugs. IA is good. Enemies react to your tactics, they "know" when to advance or to retreat. Your companions help you much more than any other FPS I've play (including Halo, resistance, Ghost recon, Medal of Honor). Technically, the game finally reaches and surpass BF in so many ways (except for IA, BF shines when talking about the must stupid, insulting both enemies and friendly).

    SPOILER: something very important to mention is the new mode it unlock when completing campaign. It's called Nightmares. It basically recycles the campaign but with the addition of zombies (with mystery box and everything) super enjoyable, even more than actual zombies. YOU HAVE TO REALIZE the huge deal this represents, since game industry is decaying on lack-of-content games. They are selling us unfinished games with the pretext of completing it by buying the season pass. My first PS4 game was B4, what a let down... (very few weapons maps and modes, everything copied and pasted from BF3, and I know about copy and paste, im a **** cod player, but this! was a hole new level of CRAP, only rush could save it but past 6 months from its release no one play that mode anymore= BF4: RIP) EA is the mother of evilness in game industry. ´But I look at BO3 and I see they hided an entire new mode on an already big-content game, I remember of back on those days where content became as we achieved challenges. I´ll happily buy the season pass of a great and complete game such as BO3. I even wanted to give this game a 10, but I recognize its not perfect, and I would recommend it to casual players, since MP and zombies are difficult as hell.

    Definitively a must buy for skilled FPS lovers

    Best Call of Duty since Black Ops 2. The movement system is new and interesting without being as janky as Advanced Warfare's. The story is interesting, albeit not ground breaking.

    The multiplayer is amazingly addictive. A few server issues aside, and I am spending way too much time on it.

    Pros:
    Solid and balanced MP game. Good maps. A lot of fun on it. I can't put it down.

    Cons:
    The SP campaign is bad. The characters and storyline are uninteresting.

    Conclusion: This is the best Call of Duty out there.

Zombies has been stale since Black Ops 1. The campaign is alright, though i'm getting very bored with the current time/future warfare crap. They need to go back to historical wars.

    The best attraction is multiplayer. It's much more well rounded, though still has some issues.
    The left side/middle/right side map crap needs to stop as it's causing huge spawn trapping problems in this one. It's on just about every map and is just about every match.
    The abundance of explosives is getting ridiculous. They either need to nerf explosives, or limit them much better as they're spammed, sometimes to the point of making the match unplayable.
    Light machine guns and thermal needs to stop coming back. It's way over used and spammed. They did even out LMGs though.
    Aim assist/Target assist is WAY, WAY too strong in this one. Obviously it's to cater to the younger crowd, even though they shouldn't even be playing the 17+ game. This feature causes a lot of issues. IF you're aiming at someone, and his team mate walks behind him, even if it's behind a wall, the aim will follow in his direction strongly.
    Putting players into a game that's already half finished and being very unlikely for the losing team to make a comeback is absurd. It happens constantly.

    Even with it's flaws, this game rocks. All these day one 0/10 reviews are bogus. They didn't experience much of the game. Give it a shot. Go to gamestop and buy it used to try it first, so if you don't enjoy it you have 7 days to return it.    … Expand

I've been waiting for a game that is somewhat playable that can possibly measure up to BLOPS 2 (which was the last title I truly enjoyed). After playing through the campaign, I played several hours of multiplayer. Honestly, I'm relieved they did not use the ugly grasshopper suits from advanced warfare.

The only reason this doesn't get a higher score from me, because it's just another fps shooter in a crowded market, there's really nothing here we haven't seen before, and it kind of gets old fast. The more I played, the more I found myself playing not for the enjoyment, but for the cryptokeys ( now I know how addicting gambling is). Good game, great addition to the Black Ops franchise, maybe not the best of the three, but definitely the most fresh.

    After almost crying because of laughter while reading all of these reviews, I figured I should actually give it an honest review. I'd also like to respond to a lot of the stupidity that has caused me so much joy over the past hour.

    Campaign -Follows the same formula as a lot of the previous titles. Short, large action sequences, not a great story(but not a bad one either), and    After almost crying because of laughter while reading all of these reviews, I figured I should actually give it an honest review. I'd also like to respond to a lot of the stupidity that has caused me so much joy over the past hour.

    Campaign
    -Follows the same formula as a lot of the previous titles. Short, large action sequences, not a great story(but not a bad one either), and something to do other than multiplayer or zombies. All in all, it's OK. 5/10

    Multiplayer
    -This is where BO3 truly shines. Multiplayer has great overall balance within specialists, guns, and scorestreaks. There aren't any "oh damn, I got shot by another Obsidian Steed BAL" moments (like in AW), which is nice. In all of the games that I have played, I have been killed by the widest arrangement of weapons and perks in the past 5 CoDs combined. They are also following the same traditional DLC template as the other games by offering them in clumps of 5 maps per release (4 MP and 1 Zombies) at the same price as they always have.
    9.5/10

    Zombies
    -Another awesome experience within Shadows of Evil as Treyarch never disappoints. They offer a deep, easter egg filled map with plenty to experiences to figure out. If you aren't in to the new style of map with a load of easter eggs, then they added The Giant as well, just good ol' classic zombie kililng. The giant is an excellent remaster of Der Riese, keeping enough of the old fun, while adding tiny new wrinkles to keep it interesting. 'nuff said!
    10/10

    Nightmares
    -Interesting choice to add on an additional zombies/campaign mode once the campaign has been completed. It's actually quite a bit of fun to jump in with a few buddies and play altered versions of the campaign with zombie elements. I just feel that with a very mediocre story within the campaign this mode is a fun, but easily passed by by the casual fan.
    7/10

    Now the fun part...RANT!
    To all you idiots calling this game "half done", "too many features (lol!)", and an "overpriced waste of 60 dollars", shut up. Seriously just shut your mouth. This is quite literally the most complete CoD in a very long time. Everything works, lag is extremely minimal, framerate is where it needs to be, and the game runs very smooth. I'm not entirely sure what you are expecting? A free CoD game?

    As for the microtransactions? EVERY GAME HAS THEM NOW! These are 100% cosmetic and have no influence how the game is played. Like me, I am choosing to play the game to unlock Cryptokeys to unlock the black market chests. But do you know why they choose to sell them? PEOPLE BUY THEM! I have zero issues with people spending additional money on colors, taunts, or gestures. It is absolute astounding how gamers now feel that they are entitled to having everything for the least amount of money and effort to earn them.

    I hope my English isn´t that bad ( I'm from Germany). Let´s go.

    Graphics: really cool but they could be better
    Performance: very rarely occurs a frame drop but it´s not that irritating

    - 1. The Campaign: The story starts a bit boring there are to many cuts, But I won´t say the story is bad but I don´t think that the story is good. BUT I really like the Dead Ops 2 easter egg.

    Now to the main part...

    - 2. The Multiplayer: The specalists are very nice for casual gamers but honestly... it sucks to be killed by them shortly before you got your nuclear medal. The gun feeling is good like it was in BO2 and the new movement is also not that bad but you should change your buttes layout ( ´L2´ > Jump , ´X´ > Tactical). The maps are really nice but you´ll get often killed from behind and the streaks are a bit to weak.

    Last but NOT least...

    - 3. The Zombies-Mode: [Shadows of Evil] Honestly the zombies mode is f*cking awesome. It will take you a few attempts and maybe a few youtube tutorials til you understand everything. But then it´s really cool and the main easter egg is epic. If you didn´t already played this awesome map ... then turn your console on and jump right into it. Worth it, trust me. ( I like the 4 player coop the most )
    [The Giant] A really good remake but unfortunately only for people who buyed the season pass or the deluxe edition. But also worth it.

    Conclusion: BO3 is a CoD with flaws but it´s a step into the right direction. It´s much better then AW was but not perfect. Don´t expect the best story you´ve ever played but if you are a zombie fan, then go for it you´ll love it. And the Multiplayer fans?.. The maps are okay-good, most of the guns are balanced, so the multiplayer is a 7 out of 10.    … Expand

It's called "tend setting" and so they take it and make it better. Nothing wrong with that, they made it better. It's on the line of just right! Game is great! and I think zombies and the other secret things you can do in this game are perfectly combined. So much to do in this game! Arena for MP is one of the most innovative things i have seen yet from Treyarch.

The idea of having the direct neural interface sequences is brilliant, leading to a feeling that "all bets are off" and allowing some brilliantly ridiculous sequences. The free-running mechanic from multiplayer is present, however its uses are more limited due to the level design. Where the futuristic concept really comes to shine however is in the cyber cores. Allowing the player to use only one branch of skills at a time adds a lot of incentive for replaying the missions, trying out different tactics, and works particularly well in Co-Op. The campaign is approximately 12 hours long, but gets doubled with the "aww f*ck it, let's have some fun" Nightmares mode, where you play through the same levels but in a different order and with a completely unique storyline... and zombies.… Expand

    I am very pleased with Black Ops 3. In an HONEST opinion, I feel that this game is pretty solid, and Treyarch is working hard to fix minor flaws. I haven't had this much fun playing a COD game since the last Black Ops title. The campaign was amazing, it wasn't perfect, but it kept me intrigued with it throughout its entirety.

I loved it and I tell everyone I know to play it, but nobody ever does. Zombies, for the die hard zombies fan, is a great mode in its own regard. I am more of a classic Zombies player where the only goal was to survive to as high of a round as possible. I don't really enjoy all of this extra stuff they have added to make it seem like more a story based mode, but I can step back and say that it was a good idea, but not for everyone. As for the multiplayer, oh boy do I get into it. The past two years, I played online for like an hour and i would get bored, but now, i can't find a way to let go of my controller. They did a good job with adding a LOT of challenges and unlocks. I will never do them all, but I will definitely be busy until next years COD. The specialists are cool, kill streaks finally do something again, guns are decently balanced, a few need a nerf or buff, but Treyarch is hard at work to fix all of that. Honestly, anyone who doesn't like this game is not a COD fan, and there is nothing wrong with that, or they played the game, did really bad and called it quits. Either way, I would highly recommend this game to anyone who is looking for a way to kill time.… Expand

    This game is like your average Call of Duty game. I'd say the campaign is quite bad, but most people play for the multiplayer - which is good. The only issue is the occasional lag which can be improved by using an Ethernet cable. The zombies are also fun, but not worth buying just for zombies if you see what I mean. Overall, it is worth buying at a discounted price and don't expect a masterpiece.

    First off, let's talk about value:
    1) You have campaign. I'm not such a fan with campaign since blops2 and I can't say that I will consider story mode at all even in this particular CoD. This does give a feature like WaW that allows you to play Co-op campaign which is nostalgia and great addition that should've been with every CoD game since WaW but failed in its predecessors.

This does give a feature like WaW that allows you to play Co-op campaign which is nostalgia and great addition that should've been with every CoD game since WaW but failed in its predecessors.

    2) Multiplayer - the icing on the cake that I play that seems to be balanced, almost too balanced. The maps are a bit basic making the game almost too simple which make the 3-way map design generic. Sniping from blops2 aim assist is gone making it a diluted game play w/o snipers. Every game lobby you enter will have smgs or ARs, which loses its luster after 2 months of playing this game continuously.

    3) Zombie and arcade zombie: these are additions to the game which makes this game pretty valuable across the board.

    4) innovation: You get the new mode called Free Run. Although there's not a lot going on it it is a step in the right direction as for innovation. It's stepping into boundaries of another game called Mirror's Edge which is something to be excited about. I wish they put more of an effort for this particular mode like Co-op and racing against others as well as shadow AI to see how players above you completed this course.

    I'm surprised at all that people are giving such low credit for this game as it is quite valuable for what they're giving you. Yes, it is quantity over quality, but allowing 4 games in one is still worth the price even when it's dropping substantially.

    Multiplayer:

    This is pretty much the only game mode I play, which says a lot about me, however I have tried all modes before giving this review. The multiplayer isn't as good as previous CoD games like blops2 or MW2. I feel as though this should've been released before AW as well to give people the chance to progress through y-axis movement. If anything this is an upgrade to blops2 with much slower gameplay even with boost movement is involved. The maps feel smaller than any of the basic previous Treyarch maps from blops1, blops2, and WaW. For maps being this small w/boost movements I must say they put things in a pickle.

    The game, again, is balanced. Almost too balanced. Shotguns aren't good anymore making them almost useless when it comes to basic TDM. Even the argus takes real skill for it to be par with the worst smg. Almost all ARs and smgs are relatively close to being the same weapon with minor tweaks like higher rpm, better recoil or more damage. It's like they had a basic semi and gave the gun points for auto, damage, recoil, magazine, and rpm while making different combinations using the same point system just for guns to make their guns.

    Sniping is low tier due to the fact that aim assist is gone. Anyone who still uses sniper rifles in this particular CoD is using pure skill at this point. LMGs feel extremely heavy compared to blops2, but w/perk manipulation that some of the pubstompers have figured out you can use it almost like an AR. But because this game is faster paced for smgs to rule the game using LMG is outclassed in most situations besides modes like Domination and safeguard.

    I'm giving the game higher than 7 because of its value. If it didn't include the extra mode freerun I would've given it just 7 because it would've been a lesser version of blops2. I can't say this game for multiplayer is better than blops2 because of how generic the gameplay feels and the bland feeling that my opponent is either wielding an smg or AR rather than go shotgunning, knifing, sniper rifle or LMG.    … Expand

It took about half the game to understand all the mechanics, not interested in finding every collectible or leveling up and don't want frustrating grinds to find the exact "right" route through a map... the ammo boxes were a bit too plentiful and the boss-type robots were a bit too repetitive and basically just a matter of firing and hiding for 20 minutes until you wear them down. But the graphics and sound were fun and the game has at least a hint of A.I. philosophy behind it and was about the right difficulty to just casually play when I had a few hours to relax. The ending was pretty fun, especially the last 3 minutes when "White Rabbit" is playing in the background.
    I don't generally care for the futuristic stuff and there's minimal strategy here but it was a fun escape for 20 hours or so. $2-3 an hour isn't a bad deal to be entertained and that's not even including the multiplayer or the few times me and a friend have played zombies together. I imagine playing campaign with a friend would've been even more fun.

Unlike most shooters, it is bright colorful with unique and exotic maps. And BY FAR my favorite thing about BO3 is the specialist characters. Like seriously, the specialist characters are absolute OGs that introduce a fresh clean new gameplay style to CoD. You really have to hand it to Treyarch for successfully finding a way to incorporate MoBA style badass playable characters with awesome abilities into a hardcore fast-paced FPS gameplay style.

    Locations in the mission are good.
    Local coop seems fun,i played it for about an hour with my brother and it's fun,nothing spectacular,but fun.

    Overall,i think the game is not a dissapointment,campaign is worth playing,i don't know why so much hate.Ok,i also hate futuristic stuff,it's not fun,but the campaign was done ok..Nothing remains,just to wait for COD to go back to present time or more back,to WW.    … Expand

    There has been many cods that have come out these are only a couple it was all about guns and on the ground combat but now it is all about flying around and exo suits and that there is also call of duty zombies.

    This is all about getting to the highest round and the box that has all the guns in you spend coins that you collect in the rounds of the undead and spend them on the box to get the best guns like the ray gun or the thunder gun and they destroy anything in their path.

    There are loads of different titles there is black ops, modern warfare, ghosts, infinite warfare, advanced warfare and world at war.    … Expand

    8.5 - Decent COD, definitely surprised me when it came out. Maps were creative and varied, although campaign and zombies lacked what the original Cods had.

    Based on my time played I can say Treyarch out did themselves once again. The campaign is alright but the MP and Zombies is really where Treyarch like to show their talent. I give this a 9/10

    Tenemos un CoD que ha intentado mejorar lo ya visto en Advanced Warfare y que lo ha conseguido en bastantes aspectos.Combates mapas y armas muy divertidos unidos a grandes novedades y un buen modo zombies.

    Having played over 500 hours on the game evenly divided in Zombies and Multiplayer and having 100% completion on Campaign and Zombies and then having 65% completion on Multiplayer I think I can safely say I'm an experienced player.

    The Campaign, it's not the best, I honestly think IW has the best campaign in any cod title ever but BO3 isn't bad either. At the start it's fluent and you get what's going on. I didn't start understanding why certain events unfolded the way they did until my 3rd playthrough (for challenges). The campaign is probably the main reason I'm dragging the score from a 10 to 9

    Multiplayer, It doesn't matter what gamemode I play, what gun I grind or what challenge I go for I love the multiplayer. I'm a prestige master lvl 150-ish, I have Dark Matter and all dlc weapons except for 5 of them (only bought cod points once and that was for a singular big box bundle, it gave me a few weapons) but despite the game being fun for myself I could see why other's wouldn't like it. e.g. thrust jumping, micro transactions, also if one doesn't have any friends and plays solo the game is less enjoyable but still really fun to play.

    Zombies, Treyarch are the masters of this gamemode, All the maps in my honest opinion are amazing. I'm a prestige 10 nearly Master and I have all Easter Eggs done. Wether you like going for high rounds, easter eggs or having fun with friends this gamemode is for you if you even remotely like the zombies genre.

    Overall the game is worth getting and grabbing the season pass along with it is just a benefit    … Expand

So, this is a pretty objective viewpoint on everything the game has to offer:

    This game is a blast. The campaign is wacky and fun, offering things that I never thought I'd see in a CoD game such as robot battles, touring through human psyches, metaphysical gunfights on beautiful cyber-plane of existences, and a story that actually hooked me. I played each mission a good 4-5 times and as I mastered the level design, I never felt tired of any of them. I can't tell you how many hours (yes I can, it was 84) I spent in the game and although the grinding for camos was a chore, I'd still like to go back and play more of it.
    The zombies was okay, I played it just enough to get the trophies and stopped then and there. I much prefer the WWII zombies mode, and that's saying something as it was fairly uninspired.
    The multiplayer was quite a bit of fun. I sucked at it until about rank 13, then I was decent until 40, pretty good until 50, and then amazing until 55. That's usually how CoD games go for me as I unlock better weapons, abilities, and get a better understanding of the intricacies of the maps. However, I can't see myself playing any more of it. WWII was the first and (most likely) last CoD game that I go for master prestige, and this is far from being one of the frontrunners to Master Prestige next.
    For objective players of this game, I think immense enjoyment can be found. For CoD players, I can see the unease but the blatant hate or refusal to play is hilariously close-minded and immature, and I say this out of love for this particular game.    … Expand

    I loved this game at launch! I am not the typical COD guy, much prefer TF but this is a good game to come back to! My only issue is the D-heads you ending playing with sometimes. Also seems that some players have advantage based on ping but, until the world is cover in Fiber op I guess deal? Better than COD Advanced WarF.

    Black Ops III is one of my favorite call of duty games. To start, the multiplayer is amazing and I love choosing the different characters and playing with the special abilities (kind of an overwatch and COD mix). This was the first game I ever got to master prestige. I loved playing Search and Destroy and Domination in this COD and I loved the different maps, especially Hollywood.

    Good campaign and with some heavy themes for a COD. Multiplayer is fast and fun, good graphics too. Zombies mode was too generic though. The best PS4 COD yet.

    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]
