    The developers must be laughing their nuts off at all of us right now. They spend a weekend rehashing the same crap and we rush out to buy it. What a scam. And don't even bother with the campaign mode, it's probably the worst video game experience I've ever had. And I played Superman 64.

    I stopped buying the Call Of Duty after AW. This one seemed promising but it's just the same game play and nothing special to it. People who buy this game are probably noobs to the Call Of Duty world. I don't have the game but I can tell its trash.

    I haven't picked up a Call of Duty game since BLOPS2, and haven't really liked a Call of Duty game since the Modern Warfare series ended. But I was pleasantly surprised by BLOPS3.

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

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

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

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

    The same game as last year with a fresh coat of paint and a set of new tires that were made by the company that made last years tires, only these tires are the 2015 ones. Quite dull if you ask me.

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

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

    Xbox 360 version simply does not work. You will not find a game 90% of the time and then half of the time you do find a game, you will get disconnected. Do NOT buy for the Xbox 360.

    Absolute trash. I’ve seen this game before in Black Ops I and II with a little Advance Warfare running on the walls. All the money you have made over the years and still no dedicated servers. Not to mention 3 kill streaks locked in per game instead of per class. 8 total perks/attachments again, really!!! with higher ranked able to use better weapons. Waste of money

    Glitchy game that has trippy, weird mirror-like spots on the screen where the object painting doesn't render right. Parkour-ish features are clunky and gimmicky. Not the quality expected from a premium game.

However, the more I played this, the more I was reminded why I stopped playing CoD after Blops 2 (Had and sort of liked Ghosts, thought it was better than Blops 2 as well, but no one played it so I stopped). The sad thing is that I don't know anyone even though I KNOW there are people out who are having this issue, the spawning. It's worse than ever before, I probably average 10 seconds per life, I used to be good at CoD, and I still can be, but it's become unplayable due to spawn camping, you seriously can't run for 2 seconds without getting shot and killed by someone you can't see. It doesn't help that the weapons are as weak as Blops 2, with very little stopping power, although they finally made Light Machine guns powerful, as well as certain assault rifles, but certain guns like every SMG, the Locust Sniper Rifle, among others are the worst guns I've ever used.

    This being all said, Blops 3 was fine for a CoD game, maybe it was the fact I hadn't played a CoD game in a long time that made me want to play this. I haven't played the campaign nor will I ever, I heard it was dumber than ever.    … Expand

    The worst Call of duty game. The difficulty is very hard even on the easiest level. The visibility is horrible during whole game, you cannot see who is shooting you because in 90% of cases the opponent are the same color as environment. Still missing the old classic world war 2 scenario game. Robots and flying objects are not call of duty "must have".

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

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

    Call of Duty black ops 3 is nothing special.
    Just like all of the other new call of duty's its a joke, there are no original features and it sticks to the original idea of call of duty (if you don't know the first call of duty was made to be a rip off of medal of honor) and it still rip off's things from other games. call of duty is a **** video game and people need to face facts

    I only play multiplayer so keep that in mind. I was really hoping that the wall running ,jumping ,sliding etc. would be less noticeable but it seems like AW but toned down a bit.

    I would LOVE for the series to go back to more modern times without the slides, wall running , 20 foot jumps etc. I absolutely loved Bo1 and 2 but this game has more of AW feel to it for my liking.

    The Call Of Duty series has been an extremely "opinionated" franchise throughout these past years, and BO3 makes no exception.

And more contents keeps piling onto the roster.

    However, all that being said, BO3 honestly is another shooting game. All content aside, the game lays out as a basic futuristic shooter. It's a great game, but not exactly enough to qualify it being worth all of your money. But at least it's not Ghosts!    … Expand

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

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

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

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

It takes about 3-5 minutes to start a game after you got in it. And if a teammate leaves, there is no replacing the player. Zombies is awesome as well… Expand

    Campaign from what I could stomach to play is not very fun or creative.

    Multi Player which is usually my favorite part is very cartoonish and the maps are meh nothing too thrilling. I was very excited for this release and now I have no idea why.....I wouldnt waste the money.

    I gave this game a rating of 7 for a few reasons. First im going to to state all the Negative and follow up with the Positive.

    Gameplay - From what i can tell about Blops 3s movement is its pretty much just a filtered version of destiny, titanfall, and advanced warfare. Though it does feel more ground based than the previous titles. Which is a good thing. Now as far as the guns go..Well this is where i see how it feels so consistent or similar to blops 2 which is also good and bad but not too refreshing. the pick 10 works but also falls short when you realize the new additions for example how many attachments you can put on your primary weapon now leading to usually no side arm if you need one, or no wildcards cause you wanted a beefier primary weapon.
    Those are my personal problems on Gameplay on multiplayer now to the actual features.

    Campaign - I cant give a full review on this because i haven't played it but the fact that Treyarch incorporated co-op was a bold move especially the ability to level up your abilities. Very smart!

    MULTIPLAYER - The specialist addition is nice i suppose but feels a little biased towards certain specialist and the fact that your specialist weapon cant be temporarily halted or swapped out is a bummer. not to mention the fact that if you activate the weapon or ability and happen to die the second you do, results in an instant loss of it.

    The Maps - to be quite honest the majority of the maps dont really feel well thought through or exciting like Black ops 2 did maybe its just me but i hardly favor any of these maps.

    Customization - This is the area where Blops 3 really gets it right. The ability to make your own paint job as well as add a camo to your weapon. Gunsmith is also a nice addition but is limited to the weapons and attachments you've unlocked. You can also Customize your specialist if you favor a certain one more you unlock more helments or heads and also what they wear even to the point of taunts and victory quotes. Felt like the clothes and helments could have had more of a variety but nonetheless its good.

    ZOMBIES - Now i dont know if its just me but Shadows of Evil feels like a really difficult map there's so much to do and unlock in so little time because the zombies become potentially difficult very quick.
    unlike Blops 2 zombies i found myself dying at really early rounds. I really like the Atmosphere of the stage just wish i could explore it more without being mauled down by Zombies so quick.
    Most of my friends and myself prefer (blops one and two) zombies so far...

    I haven't had the chance to play (The Giant) map because i havent bought the Season Pass
    But i am sure it has to be better difficulty-wise than Shadows of Evil.

    SOUND - The gun shot sounds don't sound as nice as previous call of duty titles for some apparent reason, but explosions are nice and how specialist refer to each other by their names. Zombie screeches are kinda the same old but the new voice actors for the characters are pretty well done.
    Thats pretty much all i can say on that.

    Overall its a good take on the Call of Duty series and a really good fps shooter with capturing unlockables and progression. Lets hope to better future maps for zombies and multiplayer as well.    … Expand

    I know there are a lot of haters, but in my option I think the game is quite well done, the campaign is the same as every single fps campaign except in the future which adds something new to the franchise, I think the multiplayer is fun and enjoyable.

    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.

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).

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

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

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

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

    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

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

Maybe it needs to go back to a cleaner time, WW2 again, up the player count and encourage people to play some of the other modes.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    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

    If you like playing with friends you can do it with the campaign, zombies and the nightmare mode you will do it great but the multiplayer is lagging all the time, it is almost the same as in AW and is the first shot kill style.

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

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

I am a bit older gamer and if your like me, you will have trouble competing, because I dont have the reaction speed like all the 16 year olds. And being a good aim means nothing in BO3 Because people will just jump around and kill you. I still get to the top 3 player every now and then but it does not feel fair, feels like I got lucky with a package drop or something.

    I played zombies for a bit and I have to say that game is way more fun but I cannot give good score becouse of zombies mode alone. There are lots of amazing improvements in zombies but again, even the pace in zombies mode is way faster it seems.

    Campaign is OMG there are NO words how not interesting it is. You all remember playing Modern warfare 1/2 and BO1. Campaign there was addictive and easy to follow, and BO3 is like you do not care what happened in that story, you dont care whats gonna happen there.

Black Ops 3 is a tough decision for me in terms of rating. In terms of the campaign, it has a bland start that had me asking a lot of fundamental questions that should have been better answered just by playing the game. It isn't until mission 4 that things start to heat up a bit in terms of the fun-factor, but the story is still a bit buried. Then, around the halfway mark, things start to click and Black Ops 3 takes off on a roller coaster ride that I've come to expect from this arm of the franchise. The ending had me asking a lot of questions, but when I sought out answers, it made a LOT of sense and makes me understand why certain events in the game transpired the way they did (AFTER you’ve beaten the campaign, read the very first quick-scroll mission statement text that appears during those black screens. They’re on YouTube and, if you slow it down to 25% play speed, you can play/pause your way through it and find an extremely interesting piece of info there. Again, AFTER you beat the game go find this). There is some room for interpretation, but the theories I arrived at connected all the dots extremely well. Do not judge this story until you've done this for yourself, or you'll stamp poor writing in spots that are actually clever writing. The scope of the gameplay while unfolding the story is a nice addition, but the added wall running and thrust jumping take a back seat more often and it's the DNI augmentations that give a soldier super-human powers that really shines here. For the campaign, it nearly blew me away from start to end, but the fractured first few missions pulls it out of "amazing" territory and into the "above-average" category. I haven't spent much time with zombies, but I will say this: beating the campaign is important as it unlocks the Nightmares mode where you rehash certain campaign levels with zombies in them instead of your soldier & robot enemies. Playing the first iteration was interesting since it meshes a lot of stuff of your typical zombies with a new somewhat-altered storyline. But it isn’t amazing because it’s all retreaded story missions with a voice-over narrative that tries to fit what’s already there, making it feel like a hashed together plan rather than a uniquely-crafted bonus feature. As for the multiplayer, it's a mixed bag. Treyarch largely keeps everything you've seen in previous Call of Duty titles, but the new opportunities for movement get left by the wayside too often. I wanted a mixed Titanfall experience with the honed MP build of Call of Duty. You get much more of the later than the former. The new Specialist classes are a nice addition to the mix, but once you get outside of your thrusters and specialist abilities it's just CoD as usual. Not one map feels like the fun playground you'd get on Titanfall, where the mindset of "if you see it, you can play on/with it" makes for a very changing battleground that keeps your head on a swivel better than any other shooter thus-far. Add the terrible decision of using hybrid servers (part dedicated/part player hosted) and a complete meltdown in terms of online sustainability - something that is frustrating a majority of gamers out of the gate with BO3, and my playtime of Black Ops 3 feels stymied. DLC is $50 for a seasons pass, $15 per installment (4 DLC packs total). You’re getting the usual 4 maps & a zombie expansion. The problem is that games like Halo 5 are offering DLC for free and Destiny figured out how $40 can fund an entire year’s worth of DLC, including the first major expansion (The Taken King) and using micro transactions that are not required to fund the extra nuances of the game. This makes Black Ops 3 DLC look insignificant and scam’ish. –SUMMARY-- Black Ops 3 is another mind-bending tale that requires all of your attention to figure out the storyline. The attention to detail is almost consistent across the game’s 11 missions, but a faulty starting left me wanting a bit more. Once I got to the multiplayer, I again found myself with a desire for more. Call of Duty isn’t busting out of its shell that is really starting to hold it back, but the cracks in the hull suggest Activision is considering the possibility of pushing the limits. I can’t recommend the title, but I won’t deter anyone from it either. I just wish there was more of a playground feel to it all – that would make it a lot more fun. Of course, if you want the worst news of all: Ghosts 2 is supposed to be up next for CoD. Ghosts was an abomination of a game and nobody is looking forward to that polished turd of a game.… Expand

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

    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.

    Campaign was average, definitely one of the weaker CoD stories, not very difficult on vet and didnt take very long at all - no surprises there positive or negative...

    This is simply just another call of duty game.    … Expand

    This installment has copped too much illegitimate hate. The multiplayer is fun and refreshing, and zombies is more challenging than ever and stacked with new features, and the campaign is also difficult.

I doubt many people who have reviewed this game have even bought it or given it a chance. Rather than clinging on to some nostalgic feeling from games past, and blindly joining the CoD hate train circlejerk that has become so popular, why don't you form an educated opinion for yourself? There are some issues with the online servers and people being kick from solo games when they are disconnected from the server, and also some issues with overpowered weapons, but these aren't game ruining and i trust can and will be fixed. This is the first CoD I have bought since Black Ops 2 (Which I didn't enjoy very much), and in my opinion it is one of the best in the series.… Expand

    game for teenagers and hard fans. Nothing special, all of the features were seen before. Looks like activision keeps doing nothing new, because teens will buy it anyway.
    Not reccomended, the ga is waste of time and money

    As a long-term fan of Treyarch, I was very hyped for Black Ops 3.

The game has lived beyond it's expectations with an amazing Campaign experience that blows your mind quite like the previous titles. 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

    great game! i loved call of duty advanced warfare aswell but for those who miss the old "No parkour exo robot high tech **** i wouldnt recommend it, but i love how the movement fits so good with the multiplayer, feels like a combination of dirty bomb and destiny, which i think is great. 10/10

    I find each new iteration to be harder and harder for the casual gamer. MP has lost all the fun if you don't have time to learn all the customization, powerups etc. You can just jump in an hour a week or couple of weeks and have fun.

    If I look back at the games I loved as a casual gamer, there were a few distinct classes but no gimmicky special powers, power-ups etc, you felt like it was a much more level playing field.

    I would love for a classic back to basics game which used the power of the hardware to instead excels in the immersion of the world. No gimmicks but simple gameplay in an incredible environment with a solid well written campaign.    … Expand

    Underneath the glamour, it feels like just another Call of Duty game - to the delight of existing fans, but the chagrin of players seeking new turf.

    Both the single player and online modes are fun but don’t expect to be blown away. Despite a great story and a couple of very enjoyable missions the campaign as a whole is a tad boring. [13/2015, p.50]

    What we have here is the best Call of Duty single player experience to date. The multiplayer is solid too, though the much-talked re-design has resulted a multiplayer experience that really doesn’t differ all that much from the previous ones. [Nov 2015]
