    This game is SO good, it's new and don'tt mind the negative reviews those are annoying 10 year old kids who don't know what a 0 to a game is, so buy it and also buy the season pass, the giant is an awesome map so is SoE, Multiplayer is cool 2, campaign u can co-op and it's amazing.

    Hands down the best multiplayer ever on COD, maybe the best multiplayer shooter I've played. The movement is fluid, the guns are awesome, I havent wanted to get all the camo's and calling cards this bad since MW2.

    Zombies is fun, new map has some challenges, which is good, glad its not the same easy running circles, which you can do on the "giant" map, which is also awesome to go back    Hands down the best multiplayer ever on COD, maybe the best multiplayer shooter I've played.

    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.

    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.

    I hated Advanced Warfare, I was convinced I wasn't going to buy BO3 because I didn't touch AW after buying it so didn't want that to happen again.

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    I hated Advanced Warfare, I was convinced I wasn't going to buy BO3 because I didn't touch AW after buying it so didn't want that to happen again.

    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.

    No I'm not a COD fan boy btw. I hated it until BO3.    … Expand

    I haven't played CoD since Black Ops I, and I have to admit it got me really addicted after the first 10-15 hours of multiplayer.
    The single player is a part I don't care about, and can't tell anything about it. It's the multiplayer that keeps us playing hours after hours!
    The jumping and jet pack make me feel like in Destiny, but the wall running opens so many possibilities.
    Thumbs UP!

    I stopped playing call of duty after the Modern Warfare 3 campaign. I didn't even touch black ops 1, 2, advanced warfare, ghosts, whatever else got released in the meantime.

I'm really glad I grabbed this one. The campaign is absolutely fantastic and the story and the way it's told is quite fascinating and gives every singleplayer fan enough meat to chew on. Then I tried the multiplayer and it is quite fun aswell - I enjoy the speed and agility of the matches which in combination with the specialists makes for a great few hours of gameplay aswell. Overall this is the best call of duty since Modern Warfare 1 (at least to me).… Expand

    lack Ops 3 isn't a masterpiece but I believe there is fun to be had. the campaign is pretty solid with missions that don't follow the CoD formula and a moderately interesting story. the Zombies is a fun addition that gives you a wide variety of tasks to fulfil while adding some new things to the CoD zombies lore. the multiplayer is pretty fun also some of the maps are well designed andlack Ops 3 isn't a masterpiece but I believe there is fun to be had. the campaign is pretty solid with missions that don't follow the CoD formula and a moderately interesting story. the Zombies is a fun addition that gives you a wide variety of tasks to fulfil while adding some new things to the CoD zombies lore. the multiplayer is pretty fun also some of the maps are well designed and colourful but some of the other maps are really horrible, the guns are decent and well balanced the subs and AR'S feel very reminiscent of one another though (similar damage, fire rate and range etc.) much like last years Advanced Warfare the exo suit is an unwelcome addition that gets pretty irritating due to players constantly using it to get out of your line of fire none the less the multiplayer is the best and most entertaining it has been since black ops 2.

    Sad that call of duty has a swarm of haters but for anyone that skipped the 2 last years and are itching to get back into CoD this game is great on PS4 with many new addition, solid zombie mod with new twists. This game is far from deserving all the 0 ratings.

    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]
