What's worse, the game thinks it's being profound/grandiose with its nauseating "art" sequences and constant melodramatic voiceover.

    On the other hand, BO3 gets credit for its split-screen option in the campaign, and the amount of content available.    … Expand

    less of a cliche than all other CoD put together, but still kinda dumb.
    i cant actually see how can these games be so overrated. it should be fun for an afternon, not considered such a game as it is.
    the AI sucks so bad it gives me cringes every 2sec.
    but again, still better than the others i've played

    Black Ops 3's multiplayer is just like Black Ops 2, but made better. All the weapons included in the base game are balanced pretty well. There are no ridiculous score-streaks that are impossible to destroy. Everything in the multiplayer is very fluid. The maps are nothing write home about. All-in-all, it's simply just a good Call of Duty multiplayer.

    Except for Black Market drops. Every time you play a match, you receive cryptokeys, an in-game currency. Cryptokeys, as I said before earlier can be earned by simply playing the game, or you can use actual money to purchase cryptokeys. Cryptokeys Call of Duty allow you to purchase random drops filled with character win animations, character camos, weapon camos, and guns. That's right, in game guns. So instead of just unlocking the guns by playing the game, you now have to spend cryptokeys, either earned by playing the game A LOT or spending a lot of real money, to earn guns. And it's not even the fact that they are random drops that make me angry, it's that the guns that you receive are so unbalanced and overpowered that it makes the multiplayer unfair for those who don't have those weapons.

    With each new installment of Call of Duty, I find that I dislike the game mode Zombies even more and more. Instead of going back to the simplicity and fun maps like Nacht der Untoten, the first Zombies map from CoD World at War, they continue to add more and more gimmicks. Why can't we have a simple survival mode that doesn't require you to build items, start weird rituals, and other things like that?

    The single-player story of Black Ops 3 is easily forgettable. I tried playing by myself, but after the first couple of maps, it's essentially all the same. I did play on harder difficulties with friends, which was naturally a lot more fun than by myself. The new ranking system for single-player does add a new "fun" aspect to single-player, but not enough to get me to come back for more.    … Expand

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

    The amount of fun I had with friends both in multiplayer and zombies exceeds any other game I have ever played. The graphics, the gameplay and the constant variety in guns, maps and customization make this a fantastic COD. I didn't try out the single-player campaign but to be honest that isn't really worth talking about. All in all a brilliant game.

There is no more hope in CoD. I won't go as far as to saw BO3 is godawful like so many of the butthurt haters do, but it is in no way a recommendation.

I said this in my review for Advanced Warfare last year, and oh man, this franchise might as well end now. There is no more hope in CoD. I won't go as far as to saw BO3 is godawful like so many of the butthurt haters do, but it is in no way a recommendation. Star Wars Battlefront 2015 is better than this, for God's sake. Anyway, let's get on to why BO3 is not a good game.

    Campaign
    Yup. I'm actually going to talk about the campaign of this game, if it can even be called that. We were promised a Terminator-like story for this game, but it was completely false-advertised. Instead, the plot revolves around...well I really don't know. It's all just a bunch of confusing conspiracy type **** You can just tell the developers were trying so hard to create a "smart" and "revolutionary" story here, but it just falls on its face so terribly. It takes itself WAY TOO seriously, too. The gameplay for the campaign is okay. There's new Bioshock-like abilities you can use in it, but they all wound up feeling the same. Other than that, it's just typical SHOOT EM SHOOT SHOOT EM. You can play co-op in the campaign, but the matchmaking is so bad, so I had to play by myself the whole time. Really in truly, the only reason I trudged through campaign was for trophies.

    Multiplayer
    Multiplayer feels very...similar. All it is really is just BO2 with a new mobility system. I can't deny that I sometimes did have a lot of fun with it, though. I can't really say much more about it. That's how much it feels the same. I can say one more thing, though: the multiplayer is unbalanced as all hell, maybe even more than any other CoD.

    Zombies
    You'd think that Zombies would be the saving grace for this game. Well, it is not. Not in any way. It is so lacking in content with only one game mode that, for the record, sucks. Honestly, Treyarch has ruined Zombies mode. There is now so many complicated and stupid objectives you have to complete in order to get the most out of it and have fun. I am so utterly disappointed in it. Dead Ops Arcade 2 is a whole lot of fun, but it gets old quick. Nightmares mode is a creative new addition, but at times it feels lazy, and the endless exposition it throws at you in order to tell its story can be very boring.

    Conclusion
    BO3 feels lazy, lazy, lazy. It is a perfect example of why the gaming industry needs help. If your a diehard fan of CoD, I can't say anything to you in terms of a recommendation 'cause you've probably already bought it. For anyone else that is one the fence, though, don't get this game. Please don't unless it's a rental or a very cheap price.    … Expand

    Got this on my ps plus free game and had it in the library for ages.... finally got around to playing and was simply blown away by the quality of the SP campaigns production value. To produce visuals at this level and mostly locked 60fps (30 fps in majority in realtime engine cutscenes) is nothing short of a technical marvel.... I was often reminded me of perfect dark N64 in a good way as even though it nearly always led to the same core COD gameplay flow, the 'sci-fi' visuals in BLOPS 3 are at times simply stunning. Overall this impressed me far more than I could've anticipated and so I would recommend playing this SP campaign to any shooter fan. MP? Not tried so couldnt say....

    Multiplayer is solid, It's fast paced and handles as expected. Although I feel like the Light Machine Guns are useless, because they are so slow to aim with and since in this multiplayer most of the time tis about how fast you can aim when coming face to face with an enemy. However I really prefer other games when it comes to multiplayer, there are no vehicles and most of the combat is in small levels and close encounters.

Co-op campaign has also made a return and they opened the maps up a lot to make space for everyone and there unique load-outs. The campaign was full of ups and downs of enjoyment and boredom, I'd go from having fun to mindlessly defending a person as enemies poor though a doorway. The ability to customize and level up your guns in single player is a nice touch but doesn't stop the game from feeling extremely liner. Multi-player is similar to previous games and is very familiar to fans of the series, but other may not enjoy it as much. Odd spawns,extremely powerful guns/kill streaks and other elements can make the game very frustrating for some and enjoyable for others. There is a nice variety in game modes to, it ranges from TDM, ranked areas and the crowd favorite Uplink. Zombies is even more over the top then before with most regular zombies being company by big monsters and flying bat type creates witch makes zombies feel very overwhelming but enjoyable.
    Fans of previous games in the series will enjoy black ops 3 but new comers or old fans looking to rekindle there love for the game maybe pushed away by some of the changes to the series.    … Expand

    Multiplayer is the same it is every year. That is to say terrible. Regularly dropped in to games with about 10 seconds left, not to mention the laggy servers. Gameplay has gotten way too fast paced, not sure why they make it faster every year, probably to make up for the lack of exhilaration and fun. They added in some useless gimmicks this year though, they were fun to unlock but once I realized they were all **** and copied off of Overwatch they just got boring. Maps are pretty bad aswell apart from a few, good to see they're still milking Nuketown, can't wait for BO4 and nuketown 2090. Also whats with all the **** player customizations? Is the aim of the game now to look the most like a candy covered clown?
    Seriously they need to skip a few years and just come out with an actual game instead of a rehash of the last game every year. Maybe find out what they want to be, a serious fps? Or an arcade shooter? This is neither, its closer to an arcade shooter but done terribly.

    An okay game. Multiplayer is enjoyable but not fantastic (getting really tired of futuristic/exo suit bullcrap). There are one or two instances every match where I get spawn killed. The campaign on this game was probably the worst experience for me. Probably the worst campaign in the whole entire COD series IMO. My game kept crashing on me, forcing to play long missions all over again. soAn okay game. Multiplayer is enjoyable but not fantastic (getting really tired of futuristic/exo suit bullcrap).

Probably the worst campaign in the whole entire COD series IMO. My game kept crashing on me, forcing to play long missions all over again. so that ruined my experience more. Did not care for the story at all although it get's pretty trippy. Some things from the previous Black Ops campaigns are tied in but I wanted to get the game over with by the time it rolled around. Harder difficulties are a pain in the butt, so good luck. Zombies is great as usual, refreshing and new. So to summarize:

    Multiplayer: Same ol, same ol. Fun, but not great. (Tired of futuristic bull****)
    Campaign: Pain in the ass. Did not care for story.
    Zombies: As usual, superb.    … 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]
