    Gameplay is Meh at best. generic shootouts - nothing innovative. Usually I finish recent COD games in a single sitting after installing - then uninstall and get done with it. But I was forced to take a break @ this one - i'll explain why later.only COD worth keeping/ burning to DVD was these : 1, UO , COD4MW , MW2 , MW3 (for collecting whole trilogy) , BO2 (Bo1 's story was good though).Gameplay is Meh at best. generic shootouts - nothing innovative. Usually I finish recent COD games in a single sitting after installing - then uninstall and get done with it. But I was forced to take a break @ this one - i'll explain why later.only COD worth keeping/ burning to DVD was these : 1, UO , COD4MW , MW2 , MW3 (for collecting whole trilogy) , BO2 (Bo1 's story was good though). Anyway , in most of the COD Franchise it's really fun collecting/using guns of enemy soldiers - you can browse through different attachment by picking up from ground one by one - and keep the one you like the most for the rest of the level .. I used them like this : I didn't like to reload in a firefight - after I emptied my clip - I used to quickly pick up the nearest gun lying around and frag with that - then the next ... like that you can finish large firefight in just a couple of seconds -
    anyway in BO3 - you can't pick up enemy weapons -- no, you read it right - YOU CAN"T PICK UP ENEMY WEAPONS WITHOUT UPGRADED AUGMENT(s) (which most of the players won't find easily) !! Why?? Cause , by some **** guns have bio-metric lock so only the owner can use it . Funny thing is that - robots also drop guns, but you can't use it either --- why??? because the Devs didn't want you to..Guns have less significant in this game anyway - sometimes you don't even have to shoot- you do some magic with your hand and people dies!
    This is COD : LONELY WARFARE , you play alone most of the time,yes you 'll have 1 helping buddy but he doesn't do much - the one level where you are trapped in a soon_to_be_underwater facility - the "rise of the machines" from dead looks cool - but that's all about it - shooting robots are not fun at all.
    Anyway , moving on . I have a medium end pc - amd phenom2 x 6 1090T and gtx 750ti with 8 gb ram. I tried witcher 3 with it - It gave me smooth frames @ high with 768P - the GPU temp was about 70-75deg C - processor usage about 50%. Anyone played witcher 3 knows how beautiful it is and how heavy it's on system.
    however, this piece of crap with dated graphics which looks like **** even with everything maxed out keeping my processor 100% overloaded all the time from start to finish!! where gpu temp never crosses 55deg - processor is getting overheated within an hour - processor temp goes to about 80-90 deg !!! No game till date used my processor upto 100% - no even for a fraction of second - not even un-optimized games like assassins creed unity.
    But this piece of poo keeping it at 100% loaded all the time!! No , PC didn't shutdown cause of overheat, but Im taking a break after about 45-60 mins just to be cautious.
    Voice acting is really good! cinematic moments fells real - ( spoiler ahead) In the point when giant robots tears apart the protagonists limbs feels chilling and you'll actually feel bad for him/her ( yes you can play as either a female or male).
    The whole game feels like a movie. An interactive movie .
    So , In short : Is it as groundbreaking as COD:UO or MW4 ? - no .
    Is the gunplay good ? - not at all!! ( though the wall-running and shooting people in the head while wall_running feels good ) .
    But you'll play it anyway - cause we all like to watch a movie - right?

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

    Black Ops stays true to the current COD formula, whether you love it, or hate it. The strong suit of the franchise has always had solid FPS driven action, supporting a story that is equal parts engaging and unmemorable. Multiplayer and and zombies are the biggest attractions to the Black Ops games, and in that respect, it does not disappoint as it checks all the right boxes.

    For those that want the next generation CoD with some new mechanics, this is for you. If you are inexorably attracted to the craziness that is Zombie mode, you won't be disappointed.

    "So what is with the lower score then?" I hear you ask. This is completely subjective so take it for what it is, but if you can identify with some of my sentiment, then you will likely feel similar toward this game. Black OPs, and more specifically, the CoD franchise as a whole has really burned me out. I have been playing since the first MW and have just become really burned out by the constant effort to churn out games every year.

    Innovation and integrating their tried and true FPS twitch gameplay with something that brings fresh air to the franchise is ideally what CoD needs. After CoD Ghosts it became pretty clear what to come to expect from this franchise for the forseeable future and I am not buying anymore. The only reason I played this was because it was a Christmas gift. I played the campaign and beat it, but couldn't tell you what it was about. I played zombies a little bit with my brothers, but grew tired of it rather quickly (I have never enjoyed the zombie mode except for the very first one in World at War. Those were simpler times). Multiplayer was largely the same and it didn't take long before i had experienced all the game had to offer and sold it.

    I have fond memories of the franchise and would like nothing else than to buy a CoD game and enjoy it. However, I think the franchise needs to do some soul searching and take risks to reinvigorate the player base and shake off the CoD stereotype. Until that time, I will not pay money for another CoD game.

    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.

They all had their moments of boredom and of staleness, but in the end, they managed to have a kind of longevity as, contrary to popukar belief, most changed up the established formula just enough to keep the player interested and engaged. Therefore it is with deep regret that i saw that Black Ops 3 stands among the likes of Ghosts as one of the most boring and stale Call of Duties to date. The campaign has gone from the gorgeous cinematics and memorable characters that COD is known for, to emptionless romps through groups of baddies and a sea of faces who dont bring enough personality for me to even remember their names. I personally hate the nameless customized protagonist, but thats the least of the issues. The 4-D movement that was advertised is absolutely atrocious. Advanced Warfare had much more fluid 4-D movement, and maps that actually compliment these abilities. Your first few online matches will be spent mindlessly trying to jump over walls or wall sprint only to find that these abilities only work in specific areas, making them a major hindrance. Overall, i wanted to like this game, i really truly did. Maybe i can one day, but not today. Expand

The game play is very inconsistent and you'll find yourself yelling obscenities to at your screen in no time. The matchmaking leaves a lot to be desired, and the game lags really bad. Half a second doesn't sound like a lot of time, but when you're in a multiplayer match, it means the world. More times than not, it feels like you're playing half a second behind any other opposing player. You run around a corner, see an opponent, and before you even have a chance to think about what you need to do, you fall down dead.

    Before purchasing this game, keep checking the COD community for positive feedback. The site is currently a bed of negative comments, which Activision and Treyarch are flat out ignoring. Maybe in March 2016 when they roll out the new DLC, things will improve. But as of the time of this review, the game isn't worth it. If you love hours of frustration, and always playing angry...this game is for you. If not, spend your money on something else.

    I haven't played the other black ops game, so I don't know the trend or how a black ops game should be like.

    In terms of shooting, ok. Controls are fine, not that many guns to choose from. The enemies blend in with the graphics and allies, you don't know who you are suppose to shoot, until they come close enough or they are the pointing the gun at you. I end up using the weird goggle

    A great couch co-op game. Had loads of fun. Not sure if it works great if you play alone.

    Dont know about the story, dont give a **** As long as I am progressing, have all the levels and maps, that's fine. The only down side is you cannot replay the levels, unless you restart all over again.

    Zombie is a great mode, but no story for that... It's like a survival mode, where you fight waves of enemies over and over. For some reason, I cannot skip the cutscenes right away. I have to watch 30 seconds of it before I can skip, so annoying and boring. I watched it already. I just want to play the damn game.

    Dont know much about the online multiplayer, local one is fine.

    Just finished the campaign and honestly was a let down. The story was a messed and didn't make sense...most call of duty games suffer from poor campaigns, but this one is the worst of any game.

Let's start with the negatives, that have been ignored in favor of the aforementioned or otherwise blindly glossed over.

    This game has the worst multiplayer servers in the series, to the point that it's nearly unplayable. It's not unusual to be disconnected five times in a row. Host migrations almost always fail. Lobbies full of players but never start a match. Random and frequent lag spikes to 400 ping regardless of your connection speed. I once played ten minutes in game for what should have amounted to an hour. -2 for playability.

    The single-player campaign is also easily the worst in the series. It's obvious that they just included it because they had to. Nonsensical plot, meaningless enemies, nonexistant effort put into this at all. If you've ever tried to get into it, I pity you. -2 for including this half-ass throwaway of a campaign.

    Now for the positives. This is the best Zombies experience there is, on par with and built over the original experience in World at War. Diverse maps, great gameplay, complex mechanics that actually require some forethought, and an interesting wrap up to the background storyline to boot. +2 for impressing me on this part of the game, and -1 for deliberately putting the best parts of BO3 in $60 DLC.

    The multiplayer gameplay itself is surprisingly good too, but the unreliability of the servers effectively cancel this out. The specialists and movement system keep things varied enough, and the new game modes like Safeguard are more than welcome. Relatively balanced gunplay. All in all it's still fun with a friend, and that's also the only reason I play it, if only to pass the time waiting to find a real match.

    And yes, -2 for being another COD game. Starting at an 8/10 is more than fair. We all know the series has been milked, but compared to the immediate previous games in this series, BO3 is definitely a standout title. I'd even say that I'd rather play this than MW3 or BO2, and I'd rank BO3 above either of them.

    Now unlike other Call of Duty games I've played prior, namely Advanced Warfare and Infinite Warfare this game was in peaked position, but to call it my favorite is pushing way too far, more like 19th, 20th best shooter. This game was good in the aspect that I could actually just fight with a gun and not use my advanced infinite thingy backpack, seen in recent games, but there was a bit more.

    The story was actually alright though vastly confusing places, this however became to pushing point for me as it allowed this scarce mystery amongst all other things to be well founded and ultimately ended with an understanding, although pushing a cliffhanger vibe.

    The combat was norm, as you would expect, the range of guns and modifications allowed for versatile play, and on the whole played well allowing for fast paced action or slow methodical sniper shooting.

    Now I don't normally play online FPS bu this time I played some multiplayer, and It was fun, no complication or unfair perks and the idea of choosing a character that suited you was a ace addition as it allowed for variation in the battles which I highly enjoy.

    Overall I was quite happy with game, however it seems to be an altered version of the previous games, you know good guy bad guy, just a new re-skin and a few teaks here and there. So whilst this game was solid it felt more like a copy than anything that would hold stature as a sole title.

Not only did the gameplay get more repetitive and boring with the overabundance of pointless DLC and even a little annoying with hackers coming into play, but it also didn't help its case with the arrival and rise of its predecessor Black Ops 4. That (And the fact that there was too many gigabits due to all of the DLC that hindered my ability to download other games) was the last straw for me to finally delete it for good. Expand

    Imo Campaing is trash,it's the worst in the Black Ops series.Multiplayer is mediocre,maps are basic and it's pay to win because there are loot boxes that can give you OP weapons.So either yo grind to to get loot boxes and hope you get lucky to get the weapon you want,or you use your moms credit card to buy loot boxes.I also hate the way weapons feel.The only good thing is zombies becauseImo Campaing is trash,it's the worst in the Black Ops series.Multiplayer is mediocre,maps are basic and it's pay to win because there are loot boxes that can give you OP weapons.So either yo grind to to get loot boxes and hope you get lucky to get the weapon you want,or you use your moms credit card to buy loot boxes.I also hate the way weapons feel.The only good thing is zombies because imo it's the best zombies experience ever,first off all you can play many og maps with zombies chronicles,you get all the WaW maps(except for der rise but you can just buy the giant)most bo1 maps except for call of the dead and five,you also get origins.i've would have liked to see more bo2 maps but tbh most bo2 victis maps are trah except for buried,if you play on PC you can mod a lot of maps but this a review for ps4 so you most people will read this are people who play on ps4 and you can't add mods into ps4.If you don't like the OG maps you can just play the maps for bo3 which are vey great,i didn't like zetsubou no shima but it was still fun.Overall i think the game is not very good,the campaign as i said is trah,multiplayer is mediocre imo.The only good thing about this game is zombies,you can get zombies chronicles and bo3 for just 60 which imo is a very good deal,you don't even have to buy the dlc's because the zombies map that already comes with the game shadows of evil is very good,i will give it a 5,if you want a good campaign don't buy it it's trash,if you like multiplayer it's mediocre you are better off just buying cod mw2019and if you like zombies absolutely buy it,it's the best zombies ever.

    I can't be arsed to even finish this game.
    The plot is a joke and the action becomes monotonous.
    Don't get me started on zombie mode. Dull, dull dull.

    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.

    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]
