    Not sure why folks hate on COD so much , I love games of all types and no one gets mad that Mario is still getting mushrooms and jumping on Koopas 20 yrs later , but I digress this COD along with Advanced Warfare are by far the most fun and feature complete packages COD has produced Chris Meloni is the king of COD VO and the game feels Damn good runs like a dream looks great is epic andNot sure why folks hate on COD so much , I love games of all types and no one gets mad that Mario is still getting mushrooms and jumping on Koopas 20 yrs later , but I digress this COD along with Advanced Warfare are by far the most fun and feature complete packages COD has produced Chris Meloni is the king of COD VO and the game feels Damn good runs like a dream looks great is epic and though they stole titanfall/mirrors edge movement play style BLOPS3 is all the better for it Activision/Blizzard is bringing the heat this Generation from Destiny to COD this game is shooter heaven and PS4 version runs like an absolute dream it's fast fluid and dare I say genre defining in its gameplay loop Very few FPS's are this damn fun to play ,Bravo and don't listen to trolls they live under bridges and don't bathe, lol. If you like dystopian future settings or even 1950's noir or hell even zombies and you love head shots and fast gameplay you won't be disappointed in your purchase it's full of content and one helluva a ride and take that as a guy who knows metal gear , Divinity , Halo , and of course bloodborne and fallout 4 will be game of the year the game has balance and scope plus all the perks and pick 10 systems make for a diverse experience , this is my first Metacritic user review and I must say this is the best COD since MW4 Expand

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.

    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.

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. 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.

    Solid multiplayer! Story is long enough but not good enough. Cooperation is fun! Most importantly, there are zombies and nightmare mode as well as the free run mode. There's a lot of interesting content in BO3, which are pretty impressive. It's $60 well spent. However, if you just want something creative or something new in the campaign, skip it.

There are a few cool extra modes besides the main 3, free run, nightmares mode (2nd campaign with zombies) dead ops arcade 2, & combat immersion mode. These all are fun mode and co-op as well. I love they now have a safe house where you can go and chill before missions, build guns, change outfits, upgrade cyber cores, whatever. You can also do combat simulations here too. I can't say enough about this package. I only played call of duty black ops 1 & 2 so Im not a call of duty guy, I a black ops guy though... lol. I was concerned they were starting a new story line that maybe it would be not good or lame but surprise, surprise!!! Highly recommended! Expand

    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.

Wrapping up MP you have amazing weapons and cool new maps that take advantages of the new movement. Campaign is ok. Great missions but short. Zombies are probably the best thing. Shadows of evil is a incredible map lots of variety good characters and awesome guns and perks. Sprinkle in a few features like paintshop, gunsmith and free run and you have an overall enjoyable Call of Duty, just try it out before trashing it. Expand

Pick up Call of Duty and trust me you will have fun. Do not forget Treyarch is going to add Custom maps and more with DLC. I believe that when people say that this is a 0/0 game they almost always compare it to the exo movements if Advance Warfare. The movements in BO3 are to maneuver around the map unlike Advance Warfare were you can dodge Attacks and perform many other "Exo Ablilites". Also, the nightmare mode which was very fun and enjoyable a little lazy but enjoyable. Expand

    Call Of Duty: Black Ops III is one of the most innovative Call Of Duty games to date. Treyarch did not disappoint with this game, whatsoever.
    Multiplayer was really nice this year, with a new movement system that worked really well with the larger maps. The guns were also very balanced as well, which was good compared to Advanced Warfare's Bal-27 and ASM1 being really the only 2 guns

    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.
    Overall, a very good game - well done Treyarch.

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).

    The game don't deserve a 10, in fact I would give it a 7, but as to much people gave it 0 I put a 9. A game never deserve a 0!

    The campaign is about ''WTF!'' I stop playing it because I was not able to find any bound with BO2 and to explain why we are so futuristic now. Even the story is hard to follow or would say to believe. Will probably give it a second chance in co-op with friend.

    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)

    The Multiplayer menu is missing some info or option that was cool in other COD. Like to see we are how many to play the game...be able to see the leader board of the lobby we are in...to mute other easily....etc.

    The game is enough good to have lots of fun and play with friends until the next game that will make us forget this game.

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! I definitely recommend this game if you're into the classic run-and-gun style that the series continues to offer. Expand

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".

    Great, you funded the devs and Gamestop and Metacritic ad traffic in one swift motion, you really showed them...

The multiplayer has set a new standard for the game, with a brilliantly paced movement system that creates and atmosphere of general gameplay and fairness. 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

    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.

    Zombies - Despite all the attention it's received - I believe the map is too tight and the characters too strange and unappealing.

    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.

Not to say the *writing* is very good, or even above average. The dialogue and interpersonal interactions fall flat quite frequently, but the ideas behind the story arc are fantastic. 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.

Scorestreaks are good and not to over or underpowered. Long time favorites are back and some new are here such as the DART. Overall Multiplayer is a solid 9.5/10.
    Now we reach Campaign. I have not played much of it, but what I have played feels better that AW's and Ghosts's campaign. Thought it is still not as fun as BO2's which is my favorite COD campaign of all time. Once you beat the Campaign once you can go back and play it with Zombies added some replay ability, or you can access it with the cheat DREAMLAND. Overall Campaign is an 8/10.
    Zombies is back and full of more Easter eggs than ever. It is still as fun as before and this is not much else to say, other than I wish there was another map or like in BO2 where it could be sectioned off. Overall it is a refeshing 9/10.

    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. It was intense from the beginning and the ending is worth it. II am very pleased with Black Ops 3.

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

    I cannot believe some of the negative reviews from other gamers. How does this game have a lower user score than Primal Carnage Extinction and Deadpool? Anyway Call of Duty Black Ops III is one of the best games of 2015. The multiplayer and campaign is highly addictive and the core gameplay and graphics is certainly better than a 4.5/10.

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.

But the thing I really like about BO3 is that itś not just a generic military shooter like other CoD games. The gameplay and concept of BO3 brings something new to the table. 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. So don listen to all the bandwagon haters, try this game out like I did and you will be very glad you did! Expand

    multiplayer is playing online with all peoples around the world or with you friends in diffrent mode games for example like team death match or domination or safeguard. Game modes are objective based games in which you have to deliver something to a certain place or to someone. Multiplayer shows whether you are any good at the game or not.

    zombies is its own personal game in witch you basically kill zombies and see how many rounds you can survive before dying.

    what is good about the game is it is overall fun and enjoyable and fun as hell to play especially with your friends.

    what could improve is the lack of campers, campers are people who wait around the corner and wait for you to pass and then shoot you from the back, everyone hates them

    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

    I'm not a massive CoD fan, but I'm one of the rare people who has earned the Platinum trophy for this game. 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.

In the history mode section, they reduced the quality of past deliveries, with a mediocre and unconvincing bow, which for the mythology of the games is out of place.

    In the multiplayer section, they did quite well, following the patterns of map creation to which we were accustomed. The Zombies mode does not disappoint either, since it expands the mythology of the saga, answering questions that had been left in past instalments and opening a new series of these for the next instalment. In the graphics section there are no complaints because in itself it is nothing new, but neither disappoints. The gameplay is pretty good, because unlike Advanced Warfare, the Jetpack does not feel out of place, because it does not interrupt the versatility of the game, this added to the weapons and the constant patches that were received throughout the life of the game, as well as the additions that were made in that time. Well the DLC was not bad either, delivering more multiplayer maps, zombies and new objects from time to time. In conclusion, this is one of the best CoDs, competing only with MW2 and its predecessor BO2.

    I have played all of the call of duty titles since COD3 (I'm old, I know). 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.

However, there is a new "double jump ability, wall-running, and sliding all of which create an interesting game dynamic without ruining that "CoD" feel of the game. The "specialists" are interesting, and there is lots of room for customization. The weapons sound and feel good and the maps are well rounded. Throw in a decent campaign and zombies and you've got yourself a game that is 100% playable without DLC. Ultimately I am satisfied with this game. Expand

    Typical COD really; one of the best games ever when you're playing well, one of the worst when you suck. Specialists set this one apart and give MP some much needed personality.

The jet pack and wall-running feels fresh, but is not overwhelming or overpowering. Everything in the multiplayer is balanced and can be countered, the specialists are extremely fun and also completely balanced. The guns offer good variety with each gun feeling unique and satisfying. 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. It's COD black ops with unique abilities, wall running and jetpacks, that's all you need to know; whether you'll like it or not is up to you. Expand

For this alone, it deserves high praise. My main gripe with it (once again) is with its campaign. Yes, things are different however it is as linear and predictable as its previous brothers and sisters, leaving me craving a shooter with a well driven story. The rest however, is absolutely amazing, polished, clever and will keep your thumbs numb long after your Xmas turkey hangover has set in. For myself, the return of Zombies alone is worth the fee as it is easily the best installation of the Treyarch adaptation and was the very first thing I played. As for multiplayer.. Well, you know the drill.. If you can stomach the filthy 16 year old racial slurs, it is as expected. Sheer shooter brilliance.

    I would have scored this a 9 or 10 if the campaign wasn't so cartoon-esque and predictable but as a package, this game is a no-brainer. Well done Treyarch, you have once again infuriated girlfriends around the world.

That´s not Activision´s nor the developers fault. That´s just bad parenting. ESRB M-rating (17+) and PEGI 18 .. !!!!!BAD PARENTING!!!!!!

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.
    Give it a blast and pick it up, or i your mate has it go round and check it out first before getting it!

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.

It id kind of fun to play with friends but it makes the story completely useless because everybody is just talking over the cut scenes. It is full of action but doesn't really take the COD franchise to another level. Zombie

    Zombie mode : Super fun with the story, the mysteries and upgrades. More fun with friends and you do need to cooperate to make it farther. I think it's the most fun Zombie mode in COD.

    Multiplayer : Fast paced, intense, spectacular. The super powers are actually fun and don't really make the game unfair for others. The pick 10 system works great. The wall runing is super fun, the maps are smaller and make for intense battles.

    This is the best COD in a long while. It is not perfect but it is immersive in multiplayer and zombie mode. It is much much better than Ghost and advances Warfare.

    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.

    Treyarch still got it going with the futuristic approach with Black Ops 3, and yet it is pretty good. The campaign is honestly pretty forgettable, but the multiplayer and zombies mode and the new bonus modes on the other hand, stands out to be strengths in this all-in-one COD entry.

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.

    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.

    People are going to blindly hate on this game only because it is a CoD, whether or not it's a good or bad entry into the series.

    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.

    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.

    Don't let the franchise name fool you.
    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. On the good side, the specialist classes are diverse and fun to use, the shooting is great, the guns are varied, and the game is an overall solid FPS. The Zombies mode is alot of fun too, even if 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.

    Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 gets an 8/10.

    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

    Black Ops 3 enhances the Call of Duty style of gameplay by innovating new mechanics into their gameplay. 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
    Black Ops 3 enhances the Call of Duty style of gameplay by innovating new mechanics into their gameplay. 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 are going to buy this just to play the campaign: Don't do it
    If you are buying this to play with friends: Purchase it
    If you are competitive: Purchase it

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?
    This game is not perfect, none are, but a positive step in the right direction.

    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.

I've tried AW online and thank god this isn't that fast (no exo/jetpack garbage), it's up to you. Running or jumping on the walls brings more variations to play this game. However, it's not always recommendable to double-jump in the air, you'll get killed quickly.

    Tempo feels pretty fast but you'll get used to it. Jumping from Battlefield to CoD is so different!

    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.

    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.
