Like the vast majority, I jumped straight into multiplayer and so far I'm having a blast, I feel a feint amount of addiction I once felt when playing MW, sure I don't top every game, we all have good games and bad games, but I've felt like the multiplayer side has been a step in the right direction. I picked it up for £42 and so far, I don't feel like the money has been wasted… Expand

    First. If you give this game a 1 star you are a loser.

    Now, comparing to all previous call of duty games in the last 5 years black ops 3 is extremely well. Game play feel responsive, tight and accurate. There weapons are well balanced and there's a lot of fun to be had.

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.    … Expand

    Black Ops 3 is a AMAZING game, but really? No Campaign on last-gen consoles?! Well, sh*t then. The new Zombies map (Shadows of Evil) is damn fun to be had. I didn't get The Giant though. That short for my first review. Verdict: Black Ops III is AWESOME, but the lack of a campaign on PS3 and X360 is what disappoints me.

    This game is for people who ride the short bus, but that can be said for most CoD games for the past decade..

    I guess they decided that CoD was getting stale so instead they made a titanfall clone...

When I play the game, I get melted instantly by anyone yet I have to shoot people several times to get a kill. When I played the beta, everything felt so much better with the multiplayer but now it's just a miserable experience.

    The game has potential, if they can tweak the lag comp then it could end up being a great game. But I do feel betrayed seeing how much different the beta was and release. I also find it frustrating that this lag comp is still here years later even though everyone hates it. If they don't improve upon this fast, it will definitely be the last COD I ever buy. I sure won't be buying any map packs if they don't improve on it too.

    I would avoid this game right now and wait and see if they improve this one aspect of the game that ruins the entire experience.

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

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

    **End of Game Review**

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

And there's just so much customization in this game. CoD hasn't been this fun in a long time. Treyarch; please hire CoD4's or MW2's writers for your next single player campaign. Beyond not enjoying the single player story, the rest of the package more than make up for it for me. Well done!… Expand

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!

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

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

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am mostly blown away here by the terribly annoying scripted AI you have to deal with in the campaign. Not only do they annoyingly yell at you while you are trying to complete a section of a mission over and over, but they also are horribly scripted to begin with. The whole badly written love scenes between my female character and her love interest made me cringe. That wasn't the only time I cringed as well as the character I played also had terrible lines that made me roll my eyes if not completely want to bash my face into my keyboard.

    The campaign story itself was bizarre. It was almost like they decided they wanted to add their own version of Far Cry's mind trip into this game, and man it failed hard! If I have to hear about the crazy frozen forest and how an AI wants me to live there after death one more time... what the hell? The ending made me feel like I wasn't even playing a CoD game at all. In fact, this wasn't a black ops game at all. Black Ops made it's billions by sending us into the past while telling a story in the present moment. It was a unique twist that was exciting and innovative at least.

    The last thing I have to complain about is how the Core ability system in the campaign is completely different from the amazingly awesome system developed for the multiplayer version. Why is Bops III two different games in one? I thought I was leveling up in the campaign and that would apply to multiplayer but nope, multiplayer has an entirely different system set up. Maybe I am the only one put off here but I thought it would be cool to play the campaign and then be able to at least start out at a decent level with abilities unlocked for MP. I would have loved if they just gave us the multiplayer abilities and class system for the campaign so we could get used to that.

    The difficulty settings are okay though, but the campaign itself is just poorly done. There are also sections of it that literally have endless spawning waves of enemies that make it a tad difficult to complete certain parts of the story at times. But regardless, this could have been pretty awesome if I could have chose to wield a bow, play as a robot, or whatever the hell I wanted and use those special abilities... Just do what every one else does and skip to the zombies and the multiplayer.    … 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.    … Expand

If you are tired of the formula then stop buying the game, but dont give it a low score when you know it does not deserve that. Scores like that are for terrible games, come on lets be realistic.

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

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

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

I would prefer a more useful double jump that offered more verticality in the maps. "Supers" for the new specialists are also pointless. Gravity Spikes, Tempest, and Sparrow are often futile because an opposing player can kill you with their primary weapon before you are able to complete the kill. I was happy that launchers have been made relevant but that is one of the few. I actually miss Advanced Warfare after playing this game.

    I was on the edge about playing Black Ops 3 I was so far on the edge I didn't even want to play the open beta because I was so disappointed in Ghost and Advanced Warfare. But I was lucky enough for my friend to buy it and invite me over to play it. *Campaign Pros - It's Co-op up to 4 players - If you beat it you unlock a new mode    For someone on the edge about buying Black Ops 3.

    But I was lucky enough for my friend to buy it and invite me over to play it.

    *Campaign
    Pros - It's Co-op up to 4 players
    - If you beat it you unlock a new mode

    Cons - it's pretty dull for the most part
    - confusing story
    - forgettable experience

    *Multiplayer (The bread and butter of any call of duty game now)
    Pros - Levels/Maps design is very good (didn't have a map I actually hated to play on
    - guns for the most part feel balanced
    - Pick 10 class customization is back as it has become a fan favorite.
    - Very fluid and smooth. (game runs fine like it should)
    -The new Trust movement is more floaty and not like Advanced Warfare's instant super jumps and flying through areas. But still is fast enough to use to reach and get to places fast and steady and doesn't seem as required to use as its just as easy to just basically run(boots on the ground) and do fine.
    - wall running is only really used as a flank

    Cons - Day1/week1 connection issues(this should not still be a thing) not finding matches or over all not connecting to the servers sometimes.
    - Hit detection is still noticeable at times were hits that should land don't and hits that are clearly off to the side do hit
    -some of the specialist abilities just feel lackluster and overall pointless to use compared to some of the others

    *Zombies
    Pros - Well who doesnt like a good old survivial mode
    - new strange abilities like turning into a beast
    - the one map that is given is nice

    Cons - only one map.....(its big but still why only one)

    *Other
    Cons - Season pass **** as if this series hasn't already made enough money you still have to pay $50 more for more maps(you can't justify this fanboys)
    - Pre-order bonus (its just a map that has already been made 5 years ago so why not just put it in the main game and not as day one dlc)

    I won't go mental and give this game too low of a score, as it does at least deserve to be middle of the road due to the many changes that have come along with this iteration of CoD.

    If I listed great games on PS4 right now, It'd be GTA, Witcher 3, Bloodborne, TLOU, Dragonage & after that it becomes a bit more of a struggle. Call of Duty:Black Ops 3 no matter how much of a fan boy you are, does not deserve to be anywhere near that upper Echelon of games. I see IGN year after year giving CoD a 9/10 rating.. We all know they pay for those reviews and IGN are not to be trusted one bit.

    Call of Duty is the same thing it has always been, the same futuristic nonsense since the series went downhill & it's the same players buying it. One dimensional gamers that don't even know what games like Witcher 3 are!

    I say, let the poor players keep buying it, Call of Duty will remain the measuring stick by which bad gamers are judged by the gaming community, it is the breeding ground for people who are terrible at games in general and need an auto aim cartoon FPS to feel great.

    For anyone on the fence about this game, just ask yourself... Is it really worth spending $60, + the price of all the DLC packs for a game which is pretty much the same experience as every year, & next year will be worthless because everyone will be wasting their money on the next version.

    Or would you rather use that money and wait for one of the good games coming out later? Fallout 4? Horizon Zero Dawn? Last Guardian? No Mans Sky?

    Those of us that know great games are not singing Black Ops 3 praises right now, because it's mediocre and the fans of the series just can't see it, they've got their love glasses on.    … Expand

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!

    Before negation, try this out! I would score this 10/10 just because haters, but in reality this is 8.5/10 game.    … Expand

    Zombies: GREAT!! It's funny, it's a fresh new addicting mode, all the the same feel as the old ones with all new and smooth controls, great map design, and fantastic new monsters to fight. The only bad thing about this is there is only one map (without DLC)!

    End result! I don't feel it's worth the money. it's brain numbing and dumb fun, with to much chaos with all the jumping and supers, and you'll be finding yourself saying " WTF, HOW THE **** SPAWN CAMPER" ever more then the old COD games.

    It's a good attempt, but I'll be trading this game in for Star wars Battle Front.    … Expand

    It's ok, but probably my last buy in the franchise.

    This really feels like the bare bones of CoD, like a very generic FPS. The sequences have gone completely over the top to the point that they're now completely stale. There's no volume control, every sequence is you against fifty guys with drones flying in and total chaos. You're supposed to be breaking out of a rebel prison and a terrorist safehouse, yet both are stocked with over a hundred soldiers and fifty robots. Like Ghosts the storyline is kind of empty, at least so far, and the main character's voice acting is terribad.

    The multiplayer is lacking in depth. The timed power ups aren't terribly well implemented and the pvp just doesn't feel like realistic CoD shootouts. It feels like a knock-off of Titanfall, complete with wall running.    … Expand

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I'm in the UK and I haven't as yet had any significant lag, which makes a change.
    The campaign is competent, but does seem a little flat. I'm only about 20% through, so perhaps it will pick up. Not played Zombies yet, so this review does not take this into account.
    It's ridiculous to give this game a 1 or even a 0. Even if you hate Call of Duty generically. Clearly some have not played the game. After all, if you have hated CoD with a passion for years, why would you have bought it again, especially as the Beta was freely available?

Call of Duty has 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:

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

    Boring campaign but not really a fan of single player games. Would be more fun with friends. Great but strange zombies with a good ranking system for some 'dangling carrot' longevity. Excellent multiplayer with great movement.

    I purchased this game thanks to peer pressure and I regretted it 2 hours later. If you like mindless shooters that are lacking that next gen feel, this is the game for you. If you want a game that is polished, fun, and has an immersive online experience, wait for Star Wars. The map's are unpolished and cartoony. Everything looks just a bit to bright and to rounded off.

The small map sizes and blocked off areas make it very hard to enjoy the multiplayer experience. The advertisements for this game were extremely misleading. For a "Most Anticipated" game I was expecting so much more. Don't get me wrong, it's still fun but it's no more fun than Destiny or Battlefield and if I have more friends online playing those games I wouldn't hesitate jump off. Speaking of Destiny the specialist system and double jumps are a totally borrowed from it. I will put a bit more time into it and see what the other specialists offer but I don't expect this game to sit on my shelf much into December if even that long. The hype for this game was to much for the product we were given. This franchise is dead and needs to move on.… Expand

    Shouldn't really be called Black Ops. It has very little to do with previous Black Ops games. The A.I is worse than normal. I think the reason for this is because in the past the enemies have been human enemies, so they don't want to get hit, so they take cover etc. But with the this the enemies are robots, so they don't fear your bullets. As a result, they just run straight at you. It isShouldn't really be called Black Ops. It has very little to do with previous Black Ops games. The A.I is worse than normal.

As a result, they just run straight at you. It is a serious case of Whack A Mole. Then run directly at you and you shoot them. Then they only need a few shots to kill them. So they aren't scary or anything at all. After so many future warfare settings, they have clearly totally run out of ideas. This adds nothing new at all and is just so run of the mill cliche futuristic warfare. You've seen and done it a million times over now. The settings aren't even anything special. It doesn't really matter what part of the world you are in it is all samey. Nothing stands out at all. Bland, bland, bland. The story is just plain dull too. As a result, you don't care about the characters at all, they are just empty vessels. Multiplayer is more of the same. If you already own a COD game, you pretty much already have the game. It is the same copy and paste job that has gone on for years. I never did like the futuristic setting. It isn't something i can recognize or relate to. With old WW2 and Modern Warfare settings, i can recognize and relate to them as they were real. WW2 really happened, Modern Warfare was based on Iraq and Afghanistan, which are still ongoing. You can recognize and relate to them. This made them cool and interesting. We need to go back to WW2 or Modern Warfare and leave futuristic warfare behind.… Expand

    The amount of 0 ratings are incredible. No doubt it's the people that don't even have the game but just wanna hate because it's the trend. The game isn't a 10 either, more of a 8/10 but here's to hoping this 10 rating balances out the ridiculous hate this game is receiving.

    Well it's better than Ghosts and AW but let's be honest the bar was set pretty low on those. Multiplayer is still a laggy mess and the spawns are horrible as usual. Tired of this futuristic bs cod needs to go back to it's roots imo.
    Pretty standard over the top action campaign but the voice acting is horrible and ruins the experience for me.

    I'm really saddened by all the purposefully negative reviews that have come from some narrow minded and narcissistic people. This game is Call of Duty...its supposed to feel like Call of Duty.

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

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

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

    FPS issue already fixed... dont listen to the whiners. Game is the first Ive played since the original black ops and it was a ton of fun! Great game! Zombies is incredible, everything is new and refreshing, but similar enough to hop right into. Seriously, dont listen to the hate brigade, the game is fine!

    Absolutely no innovation and honestly a massive disappointment from Treyarch with one of the worst campaigns ever in call of duty and a mediocre multiplayer mode. The Zombie mode this year is unique especially the secret mode and dead ops arcade but its nothing special. It does not reach anywhere close to the black ops era maps like the masterpiece of the Pentagon.

This is essentially another year another COD.

    Yes the jetpack is there but it's actually fun it flows really well unlike AW that felt clunky and annoying, the maps are designed well so in places you can wall run but it's not silly you can't go very high and you can't jump on many of the roofs so you're not having to look all over the place, you can just enjoy some nice ground fights.

    Specialists, honestly? I like them I thought it would be mental with the abilities but it's really not, your special will probably affect 1 person depending on the situation and if you die while trying to use it you lose it and it doesn't come back for a while.

    Look at this user score, 247 idiots who want the same, moan it's the same whilst also moaning it's too different. Ignore them.

    Bottom line - If you like fun, get it. If you can't afford it don't leave a poor score on metacritic to make yourself feel better.

    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]
