    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. Bullets are up to host/client latency, characters make 12 year old jibberish chit chat thatWorst COD in the series to date.

    In short. If you hated MW multiplayer and the calculated lag then keep walking. YES STIL NO DEDICATED SERVERS ON CONSOLES. "LAG". AGAIN THEY LIED AGAIN..... The good thing is that there is more content. But the corporate overlords won regarding calculated lag.It a shame as treyarc is a good developer.....

    Black ops 2, mw on the ps3 are better. Graphics dont make a good game, and the graphics are good!, but still, there not great.
    It quite literally had me climbing the walls in discussed at the lack of realism, I felt trapped somewhere on the road to halo. WTF running along walls! For as long as want!

    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.

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

    For someone on the edge about buying Black Ops 3.

    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)

    *final verdict

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

    It could've been a fun game, but the fact that people near servers (when you have the chance to hit dedi and not the usual p2p) have 0.5 to 1 sec advantage over you is a game changer. The campaign looks, sounds and plays great, however this is the most terrible story in any single player game I've ever played.

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.

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.

But, in every game I die over and over from lag kills. The two ways that 80% or more of my deaths go are: I drop dead and then get to see that an enemy player came around a corner and killed me before he existed on my end, or I put an entire clip into an enemy with hit markers and then he kills me with a single burst. Even if a game starts off well, it will almost always go to pot halfway. I've had innumerable games where I have a 4-5KD at the half and my team is winning, but after the half I get insta-killed from lag comp every time I meet anyone and finish with a 1KD and we lose the game. It's the most inconsistent lag filled game I've ever played. Nothing else matters if shots don't count and if players aren't synced up. To rebut those who would say it's my skill, (skill has nothing to do with getting killed before the enemy exists on screen) I have a ~2.5 kd and even in this broken game I'm managing a 1.9, but it is no fun at all.

Not only that, there's no sign of the creators admitting to the problem as they continue the usual routine of blaming the thousands of user's connections instead of their servers.

    Zombies is the best thing about BO3, MP, the campaign and other modes are nothing special, If CoD is going to continue to be all about the future, I'm sure this will be my last CoD until they reveal a WW2 CoD.

    the same crap it is every year. I can't give it a 0, they worked 2 years on it, plus the wall running and some of the campaign elements are a bit different. But it is mostly the same garbage. I wanted to like this game, BO2 wasn't half bad, but alas, this game was a repetitive, boring, disappointment.

    Encountering one glitch, you game over once. And this **** game made me die dozens of times, which drove me insane. The starting CG has tons of bugs. When you finally enter the campaign, everytime you are going to shoot someone, there is a glitch, and you are dead. That's it.

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

Wrapping up MP you have amazing weapons and cool new maps that take advantages of the new movement. Campaign is ok. Great missions but short. Zombies are probably the best thing. Shadows of evil is a incredible map lots of variety good characters and awesome guns and perks.

People used to complain that these shooters needed more color rather than the overused sepia and orange overtones but I don't think they meant allowing guns and armor to look like cartoons. As I watched people running around with hot pink camo skinned weapons and bright yellow armor with bandoleers saying "BOOM" on them (which would be more at home in Sunset Overdrive than COD), I can just shake my head at what's become of this franchise. It looks more like Splatoon than COD - especially with the newer maps from the first DLC (Splash, specifically) - and that bothers the hell out of me. It's as if they've realized they might as well pander to the pre-teen set despite the M rating (and it also explains why one of the kids in the Cub Scout pack my son is in showed up with a Black Ops 3 painted Pinewood Derby car... he's SEVEN YEARS OLD).

    The game is the same formula as ever and twitchier than it ever has been. Campaign is a joke, yet again. Zombies isn't even that solid of an offering this time around, far more limited than it's ever been in previous Treyarch COD titles. If you're looking for a game where you can run around looking like an 80's/early 90's cartoon reject spamming buttons, then this game is for you. If you're looking for a shooter that treats its audience like more than pre-teens, look elsewhere.    … Expand

The rest however, is absolutely amazing, polished, clever and will keep your thumbs numb long after your Xmas turkey hangover has set in.

Well, you know the drill.. If you can stomach the filthy 16 year old racial slurs, it is as expected. Sheer shooter brilliance.

    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]
