    First off, let's talk about value:
    1) You have campaign. I'm not such a fan with campaign since blops2 and I can't say that I will consider story mode at all even in this particular CoD. This does give a feature like WaW that allows you to play Co-op campaign which is nostalgia and great addition that should've been with every CoD game since WaW but failed in its predecessors.

This does give a feature like WaW that allows you to play Co-op campaign which is nostalgia and great addition that should've been with every CoD game since WaW but failed in its predecessors.

    2) Multiplayer - the icing on the cake that I play that seems to be balanced, almost too balanced. The maps are a bit basic making the game almost too simple which make the 3-way map design generic. Sniping from blops2 aim assist is gone making it a diluted game play w/o snipers. Every game lobby you enter will have smgs or ARs, which loses its luster after 2 months of playing this game continuously.

    3) Zombie and arcade zombie: these are additions to the game which makes this game pretty valuable across the board.

    4) innovation: You get the new mode called Free Run. Although there's not a lot going on it it is a step in the right direction as for innovation. It's stepping into boundaries of another game called Mirror's Edge which is something to be excited about. I wish they put more of an effort for this particular mode like Co-op and racing against others as well as shadow AI to see how players above you completed this course.

    I'm surprised at all that people are giving such low credit for this game as it is quite valuable for what they're giving you. Yes, it is quantity over quality, but allowing 4 games in one is still worth the price even when it's dropping substantially.

    Multiplayer:

    This is pretty much the only game mode I play, which says a lot about me, however I have tried all modes before giving this review. The multiplayer isn't as good as previous CoD games like blops2 or MW2. I feel as though this should've been released before AW as well to give people the chance to progress through y-axis movement. If anything this is an upgrade to blops2 with much slower gameplay even with boost movement is involved. The maps feel smaller than any of the basic previous Treyarch maps from blops1, blops2, and WaW. For maps being this small w/boost movements I must say they put things in a pickle.

    The game, again, is balanced. Almost too balanced. Shotguns aren't good anymore making them almost useless when it comes to basic TDM. Even the argus takes real skill for it to be par with the worst smg. Almost all ARs and smgs are relatively close to being the same weapon with minor tweaks like higher rpm, better recoil or more damage. It's like they had a basic semi and gave the gun points for auto, damage, recoil, magazine, and rpm while making different combinations using the same point system just for guns to make their guns.

    Sniping is low tier due to the fact that aim assist is gone. Anyone who still uses sniper rifles in this particular CoD is using pure skill at this point. LMGs feel extremely heavy compared to blops2, but w/perk manipulation that some of the pubstompers have figured out you can use it almost like an AR. But because this game is faster paced for smgs to rule the game using LMG is outclassed in most situations besides modes like Domination and safeguard.

    I'm giving the game higher than 7 because of its value. If it didn't include the extra mode freerun I would've given it just 7 because it would've been a lesser version of blops2. I can't say this game for multiplayer is better than blops2 because of how generic the gameplay feels and the bland feeling that my opponent is either wielding an smg or AR rather than go shotgunning, knifing, sniper rifle or LMG.

    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.

    Don't try playing campaign co-op I have a really good 55" TV and it looked like ****

    The multiplayer is not that good, mostly run, run, kill, kill, die, run, kill. No strategy and almost zero skills.

    I do not want to talk about this, but Call of Duty is repeated too much and had declined in recent years, but the plot is good, only 4.6 points is intended for the plot, the rest is not worth mentioning because too boring for the future war .

La campaña me a parecido buena, junto con el primer Black Ops son las historias que mas me han gustado de todos los call of dutys que he probado que no son pocos (MW2/3, BO1/2/3), otro defecto del multijugador son las cajas de suministros, han sacado como 9 o 10 armas y si no te salen no las vas a probar nunca, me parece un error grave que no las den de regalo (ya les pagabamos bien para que luego no nos den esas cosas) me parece bien las cajas de suministros para trajes y camuflajes pero para las armas no. Yo personalmente estoy muy quemado de los shooters y dudo que me compre otro hasta dentro de mucho tiempo aun así me parece un buen juego, y la nota que le pongo me parece la mas justa Expand

    As an avid Call Of Duty fan, I can say that this franchise is starting to sink exponentially. The last two installments were very big letdowns, and while this title is a definite improvement, it still falls short in certain categories.

    At its core, Call Of Duty has always been a casual shooter, as in something you can put in and immediately and know how to play. It's has an exponentially low skill ceiling (depending on your playstyle) and was always just a game you and your friends can have a good time in.

    The single player is pretty unique. Treyarch took a sort of tactical approach to the single player, adding in special abilities and new features. The added different kinds of enemies into the mix, such as robots and tank-like enemies called warlords, of which contributes to the level of tactic and thought you must put in before tackling a level or location. The levels are very action packed, as expected with every CoD.

    The multi-player in this game is a big improvement from Advanced Warfare, but still has a few kinks. They took out the dreaded "exo-abilities" from the mix and instead replaced it with a thrust pack that can improve movement, but doesn't let players fly around the entirety of the map. Combat is usually found on the ground, and can be really intense and engaging especially with the wallrun ability. Weapon balance has improved greatly and lets players pick from a plethora of weapons that are viable in mutli-player. Another addition is the Specialist option, which allows players to pick a character that has a set ability in the game.
    These abilities are viable and can be really useful, but can sometimes be fairly unbalanced.

    Zombies in this game is very well done. The only new addition to zombies is the GobbleGum perks, which are set abilities you can bring in and buy using points in the game. These are completely optional, however, and you don't really need to rely on them to go into high rounds.

    All around, the game isn't bad. I give this a 7 because it's very easy to lose interest in. Around the time i got to 4th prestige, i pretty much stopped playing as much as I used too. The matches themselves can get really repetitive and boring, and zombies just seems to drag on after about round 25.

    All in all, if you like CoD, I'd say buy. If your not a fan of CoD, see for yourself if you like it or not.

    This game is a good change of the call of duty franchise, the team at trey-arch really spent a while into this game and it is very fun to play.
    Only real problem with this game is that the 'future' style is getting quite stale but this has really over powered the previous game advanced warfare, I would really suggest this game to anyone who likes first person shooters.

    Black Ops 3 has a ton of new ideas and is better than its predecessor AW with its pretty graphics, smooth fun gameplay and a range of maps that are for the most part good. However its campaign is weak, league play is disappointing and the game overall just feels like a downgrade of Black Ops 2 and feels like a downgraded Titanfall.

Haven't played much multiplayer so this is almost strictly from the point of view of the campaign mode on "recruit". It took about half the game to understand all the mechanics, not interested in finding every collectible or leveling up and don't want frustrating grinds to find the exact "right" route through a map... the ammo boxes were a bit too plentiful and the boss-type robots were a bit too repetitive and basically just a matter of firing and hiding for 20 minutes until you wear them down. But the graphics and sound were fun and the game has at least a hint of A.I. philosophy behind it and was about the right difficulty to just casually play when I had a few hours to relax. The ending was pretty fun, especially the last 3 minutes when "White Rabbit" is playing in the background.
    I don't generally care for the futuristic stuff and there's minimal strategy here but it was a fun escape for 20 hours or so. $2-3 an hour isn't a bad deal to be entertained and that's not even including the multiplayer or the few times me and a friend have played zombies together. I imagine playing campaign with a friend would've been even more fun.
    Not too shabby, like most everyone else I'm tired of all the futuristic stuff and hope they go back to WW2 or Vietnam or a current-day Middle Eastern theme but I don't regret buying or playing it.

    Which is unfortunate, because Black Ops III deserves criticism, but not just because it's another Call of Duty game. I'll admit it's a factor, but that doesn't earn the game an immediate 0. 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.

While most people say ¨this sucks its the exact same cod as all the other ones¨, to be honest if anything BO3 is way different than previous CoD titles. The multiplayer mode is amazing, insanely fun and entertaining for casual gamers like me who prefer quick, extremely fast-paced arcade-style multiplayer gameplay. Same with the zombies mode, it is just a blast! As for the campaign, it may not be amazing like BO2 but still decent, with a cool new entity villain. But the thing I really like about BO3 is that itś not just a generic military shooter like other CoD games. The gameplay and concept of BO3 brings something new to the table. Unlike most shooters, it is bright colorful with unique and exotic maps. And BY FAR my favorite thing about BO3 is the specialist characters. Like seriously, the specialist characters are absolute OGs that introduce a fresh clean new gameplay style to CoD. You really have to hand it to Treyarch for successfully finding a way to incorporate MoBA style badass playable characters with awesome abilities into a hardcore fast-paced FPS gameplay style. So don listen to all the bandwagon haters, try this game out like I did and you will be very glad you did! Expand

    multiplayer is playing online with all peoples around the world or with you friends in diffrent mode games for example like team death match or domination or safeguard. Game modes are objective based games in which you have to deliver something to a certain place or to someone. Multiplayer shows whether you are any good at the game or not.

    zombies is its own personal game in witch you basically kill zombies and see how many rounds you can survive before dying.

    what is good about the game is it is overall fun and enjoyable and fun as hell to play especially with your friends.

    what could improve is the lack of campers, campers are people who wait around the corner and wait for you to pass and then shoot you from the back, everyone hates them

    Decent game with mediocre campaign and OK multiplayer. The guns and maps are not too different from BO2, but it does introduce new mechanics such as the boost and slide. There is a increase in quality of graphics, which is good but sniping in this game has become less fun because targets are very hard to hit and quick-scoping is not a thing anymore.

    I vow to never buy another game from treyarch. The online multiplayer is filled with bugs. When you shoot someone, they don't die. When the enemy completely miss the target, their target dies. I am constantly flipping from extreme positive to extreme negative KD. It makes the game incredibly frustrating and impossible to enjoy. I will never buy from Treyarch again.

    I think that at this point,nobody likes these futuristic stuff.I mean,ok,it is done good,the powers are fun and have great balance.But it's not fun for me,i feel like controling a robot.
    First half of the game is nothing spectacular,the other half becomes interesting.
    Cons: Campaign overall is a good experience.Story is a bit different from other COD games,but it is something new.
    Campaign has some hard parts,which is good.I played it on hardened,and at some points i died for 7,8 times..Finally some challenge from COD campaign.
    The game runs really smooth on my ps4,didn't have much problems on framerate.
    Locations in the mission are good.
    Local coop seems fun,i played it for about an hour with my brother and it's fun,nothing spectacular,but fun.

    Overall,i think the game is not a dissapointment,campaign is worth playing,i don't know why so much hate.Ok,i also hate futuristic stuff,it's not fun,but the campaign was done ok..Nothing remains,just to wait for COD to go back to present time or more back,to WW.

    This is all about getting to the highest round and the box that has all the guns in you spend coins that you collect in the rounds of the undead and spend them on the box to get the best guns like the ray gun or the thunder gun and they destroy anything in their path.

    There are loads of different titles there is black ops, modern warfare, ghosts, infinite warfare, advanced warfare and world at war.

I love zombies in COD (even if I admit that it can be the same old song and dance) but the one zombie map deal is too much insult to consumer integrity. Plus, the map isn't even that good (as a long time zombie player for 6 years) and sits at a mediocre rating for me. A shame indeed because the DLC zombie maps are fantastic to play. As a game without its DLC, it is easily a subpar COD game that argues that the COD formula is losing track and ready to derail at any moment. At its best (with all DLC) it barely sits at a mixed mediocre score that makes it even more sad. I want to love the COD series alot, but the series needs innovation and better time spent with its content to make the franchise good again. Expand

    The Campaign, it's not the best, I honestly think IW has the best campaign in any cod title ever but BO3 isn't bad either. At the start it's fluent and you get what's going on. I didn't start understanding why certain events unfolded the way they did until my 3rd playthrough (for challenges). The campaign is probably the main reason I'm dragging the score from a 10 to 9

    Multiplayer, It doesn't matter what gamemode I play, what gun I grind or what challenge I go for I love the multiplayer. I'm a prestige master lvl 150-ish, I have Dark Matter and all dlc weapons except for 5 of them (only bought cod points once and that was for a singular big box bundle, it gave me a few weapons) but despite the game being fun for myself I could see why other's wouldn't like it. e.g. thrust jumping, micro transactions, also if one doesn't have any friends and plays solo the game is less enjoyable but still really fun to play.

    Zombies, Treyarch are the masters of this gamemode, All the maps in my honest opinion are amazing. I'm a prestige 10 nearly Master and I have all Easter Eggs done. Wether you like going for high rounds, easter eggs or having fun with friends this gamemode is for you if you even remotely like the zombies genre.

    Overall the game is worth getting and grabbing the season pass along with it is just a benefit

    This game is a blast. The campaign is wacky and fun, offering things that I never thought I'd see in a CoD game such as robot battles, touring through human psyches, metaphysical gunfights on beautiful cyber-plane of existences, and a story that actually hooked me. I played each mission a good 4-5 times and as I mastered the level design, I never felt tired of any of them. I can't tell you how many hours (yes I can, it was 84) I spent in the game and although the grinding for camos was a chore, I'd still like to go back and play more of it.
    The zombies was okay, I played it just enough to get the trophies and stopped then and there. I much prefer the WWII zombies mode, and that's saying something as it was fairly uninspired.
    The multiplayer was quite a bit of fun. I sucked at it until about rank 13, then I was decent until 40, pretty good until 50, and then amazing until 55. That's usually how CoD games go for me as I unlock better weapons, abilities, and get a better understanding of the intricacies of the maps. However, I can't see myself playing any more of it. WWII was the first and (most likely) last CoD game that I go for master prestige, and this is far from being one of the frontrunners to Master Prestige next.
    For objective players of this game, I think immense enjoyment can be found. For CoD players, I can see the unease but the blatant hate or refusal to play is hilariously close-minded and immature, and I say this out of love for this particular game.

    - Microtransactions
    This is really what brings multiplayer down a bit. If they didn't add Ranged Weapons and sticked to Melee Weapons in supply drops, that would've been fine. Not to mention Zombies has microtransactions (with Liquid Divinium). The two modes have pay-to-win elements. In Multiplayer, it's the ranged weapons (melee weapons are just a reskin of the Combat Knife). In Zombies, it's gobblegum like Perk-a-holic, shopping free, and Power Vacuum.

    -Campaign
    If you are not a story person (kind of like me), this mode is fine. For the people who are, this game is a nightmare. The important plot points are in that super-duper fast scrolling text. This mode would be fine if the story wasn't bad.

    The rest of the game is pretty good.

    This game was ok, For me the most decent game of all the Futuristic COD's out there.
    The Campaign was meh for me, It was kind of hard to understand and it didn't tie in with the campaigns of BO1 and BO2.

    The Zombies was amazing, I loved Shadows of Evil, I kind of liked the Giant, But I loved every other Zombies Map and I loved Zombies Chronicles but I feel like they shouldn't have made it $29.99 just to play OG Maps. I find this game to be ok but my least favorite in the Black Ops Trilogy

    Better than most Cod games, but still not great. Game play is bad but the multiplayer is fun and it makes this game redeemable. Guns and Weapons really haven't changed much and I wish they did something new with them.

    Why I play Call of Duty is beyond me, why I even think the story won't include some terrorist organisation trying to blow up something is even further beyond, but as this was an added extra in PS Plus there must be something good right, sort of.

    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.

(Note: as implied, I have played on the PS4, and only on it) The Campaign is a complex and detailed story, with much to tell for those that are willing to take the time to process and think about the implications of the character's actions and the minute little details that when pieced together create quite an amazing story. The Multiplayer is an amazing and diverse landscape of what feels like somewhat endless customisation, with a very wide variety of Specialists, with Ranged, Specialised, Launched, and Melee weapons. The movement system is quite flowing and well brought out once you get the hang of it and really know the map's physical landscape. However, there are quite a lot of people that have played weeks worth of in-game multiplayer like myself that continue to play because of how seemingly unending it is, so you will encounter quite a few try-hards. If you want to start playing, it's probably best to do it when there's a sale on of sorts (digital, as store sales are often regional) where quite a few newer players like yourself will be playing. The matchmaking is a bit dull now that the player-base has dropped off dramatically, so I (PM 954) do quite often get placed with quite low level players, on PS4 at least, I do not know how other platforms fare population wise. Additionally, the multiplayer system does include an in-game currency system that allows you to unlock new weapons and a variety of cosmetics, and this system does include Micro-transactions, so just be aware of that, as they may be a bit too tempting, and boi are they expensive. The Zombies portion of the game is absolutely great, and parallels well to the style from WaW, BO1, and BO2, as it follows The Four on their continued adventure through mind boggling realities and worlds. The Zombies gameplay does however feel off at times, as it is set in the early to mid 1900s, and much of the normal weaponry is from the multiplayer/campaign section. The weapons function any would in all 3 modes, they simply look, sounds, and feel quite modern, which doesn't always suit the Zombies play-style, considering that those types of qualities are generally reserved for the renownfully copious Wonderweapons. There is also a Nightmares campaign, which you unlock after you complete the campaign, and is very, very, very interesting. There are also the Freerun and a Dead Ops Arcade portions, which though minute in comparison to the other 3, are still quite good. All in all, Black Ops Three has been an amazing game for me, though I am however very biased, as I've accumulated many many weeks of in game time across all of the game, and because of this, I have somewhat forgotten the learning curves and so I do not know how severe they are, additional to being quite experienced and mostly unhindered by any "flaws" there might be. 100/100 Expand

As of today the mutiplayer seems pretty dead, so if you want to get it only consider it for the campaign or possible coop action with Zombies Chronicles.

As of today the mutiplayer seems pretty dead, so if you want to get it only consider it for the campaign or possible coop action with Zombies Chronicles. I played this game on my PS4 Pro SSD and would rate the solo campaign 8/10.

    The engine runs smooth although I realized smaller frame drops during certain cutscenes. The gameplay itself is very smooth and fluent. No hiccups, no frame drops, no bugs, no bluescreens encountered. The weapon system is very nice. The grade on customization is really cool and the weapons have a really nice feedback. The way you want to play the game, grab the weapon of choice, customize it and go. A minor downrate goes to the unlock system. I know that encourage more gameplay but for the campaign itself it should be possible to unlock all the weapons and be able to use it. That wasnt possible for me which is a bit sad in my opinion.

    Graphics and sound are supreme I have to say. The visual presentation is really good, effects are overwhelming at times and the sound feels right. The sound could be improved a bit I feel. Other games made full use of my atmos system thus bringing immersion even further. Still BO3 does most things right. The levels from time to time giving a nice slice of everything to the player. The developers were creating as usual in finding cool gameplay and interesting stages.

    The story is nothing special although I liked the combination of it without spoiling to much. It felt sci-fi-ish with a rogue like AI and military consiprancy somewhat mixed up a little bit too much. I have to say that at a certain point the story lost me a bit. Character customization is nice, although there are not too many options. You unlock around 10 outfits just by regular gameplay which is very cool to me.

    After all I enjoyed the short but intense trip. I dont care much about multiplayer of CoD games but I still love to play its campaigns when the games are on sale after a while. The price tag of at least 20 bucks is still not cheap considering I didnt play multiplayer. The Zombie Chronicles pays a bit back but it probably all depends on what you like. For me this brings the game to a 8/10.

However once 2018 came that's when things started going downhill. 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

Similar to its predecessors, the story follows a group of black ops soldiers.
    In my opinion, the game is really great and super super funny to play with friends in zombie, multiplayer and co-op campaing, the game give us a new experience and another perspective about the zombies story. Showing really good graphics in PC and the new generation.
    The real problem is the campaing even been co-op, it doesn’t have a relation with black ops 1 or 2, making the player fells lost in the game history.
    The multiplayer is nice and very equilibrated ( thx Vonderhaar) it has nice wepons and mechanics making a good experience to play with friend all day and all night.
    The zombies is the best part of the game every player of COD (call of duty) buy the game for zombies.

    I thoroughly enjoyed the game as a whole. This is definitely the most content heavy Cod (if only they updated free-run). The gameplay in the campaign is fun, though to be honest the story doesn't make a bit of sense. Multiplayer is filled with customization, as well as Zombies. It even made Treyarch my new favorite dev for COD. I even went and bought BO1 and 2.

In the history mode section, they reduced the quality of past deliveries, with a mediocre and unconvincing bow, which for the mythology of the games is out of place.

    In the multiplayer section, they did quite well, following the patterns of map creation to which we were accustomed. The Zombies mode does not disappoint either, since it expands the mythology of the saga, answering questions that had been left in past instalments and opening a new series of these for the next instalment. In the graphics section there are no complaints because in itself it is nothing new, but neither disappoints. The gameplay is pretty good, because unlike Advanced Warfare, the Jetpack does not feel out of place, because it does not interrupt the versatility of the game, this added to the weapons and the constant patches that were received throughout the life of the game, as well as the additions that were made in that time. Well the DLC was not bad either, delivering more multiplayer maps, zombies and new objects from time to time. In conclusion, this is one of the best CoDs, competing only with MW2 and its predecessor BO2.
