    The PS3 and Xbox 360 versions can't measure up to their newer counterparts, but they've still got it where it counts.

    Still fun, but the absence of the campaign and the trimming on its graphics makes of this conversion a worse game than the original ones.

    Call of Duty Black Ops III
    Probably the most complete game in the series
    We all play call of duty games for different reasons, and all of those reasons are present in black ops 3, theres zombies mode for the gamer girls and teenage boys with 14 different maps to get your wave mode on, theres multiplayer with its jetpacks and sliding and wall climbing with all of the classic modes, pretty decent maps, but theres a destiny like addition with these moves you can pull of tht recharge as you play through the match, and there are multiple different moves for you to choose from to change strategies fo different match types.. I don’t really have much to say about the multiplayer because its not really what I play for, its fun, its addictive. But im here for the campaign which is where this special move is pulled from…
    And I was pleasantly surprised with what we get here with black ops 3..
    This isn’t my favorite campaign in the series, but I feel this campaign is by far the coolest.. it doesn’t even feel like a call of duty campaign, this could’ve easily been a standalone ip as it tells the story of man vs machine, and this campaign is a hefty 10 hours long give or take depending on the difficulty, I played half of the campaign on easy and half of it on hard..
    And this campaign does so many cool things..
    at the beginning of the store a robot just rips you apart so you spend the rest of the game as an augmented human, but of course the agments and the dni is being messed with, controlling the minds of your comrads, you spend the game trying to get to the bottom of this…
    With these augments youre able to do crazy things, each mission you cn choose if you want moves for control, chaos, or combat.. I played mostly with chaos as I felt there was an equal balance of attacks I could use against humans as well as robots, also It allows you to unleash these fireflied that eat the humans in your wy and you get to sing the fireflies song while they do that..
    but there are multiple ways you can playthrough this campaign thanks to these controls, such as hackig everything and taking control watch dogs style if youd like…
    the first half of the campaign I felt to be pretty soulless though..
    I felt like I was really just going through the motions.. but as the story goes on things just get weirder and weirder an I would have to stop myself to remind myself that this is indeed a call of duty game..
    and a war vs robots.. they play with illusions and memories here, its nice to see that the team was let of the leash and allowed to be free, and they crated something truly unique..
    Though this campaign does suffer pacing problems and annoyances if you are playing on higher difficulties..
    Checkpoints can be infuriating at times and theres this giant wall of garbage in the final chapter that I just couldn’t take anymore on hard because of its infinite spawning drones and robots.. this mission felt completely unbalanced for the difficulty, its jus just not fun or fair to have infinite drones that can kill you in 1 or 2 his while youre trying to weaken a larger enemy yards away to get in one rocket shot at a time with no progress being saved while you do this.. on top of that friendly fire is on and your team mates will run in front of you instantly failing the mission..
    I just didn’t have the patience AFTER CHIPPING away at this mission for what was at least an hour…
    though this was the only section of the game that I found to be unfair and unbalanced..
    I didn’t necessarily have fun with this campaign, but I ultimately appreciate it for trying new things
    showing players that call of duty is its buttery smooth shooting more than its military focus don’t get me wrong, this is still a military based campaign.. but its so far in the background that you hardly notice, I wouldn’t mind if call of duty contined to let one of its teams play around with its campaigns like it did here and actually step away from military a but, I dubt that would happen, but with this game I see the possibility..
    I give Call of Duty Black Ops 3
    a 7.5/10

No campaign is one thing, but then to have a multiplayer that can't stay connected is another. I can expect to spend 20 or 25 minutes each time I want to play, just trying to get connected and stay connected - and my region's Comcast service is one of the fastest in the nation. Once I do finally get on, I get booted during games almost routinely. Other fun features of playing this game online are, freezing up during games, freezing my entire box and having games begin only to find myself in an empty lobby seconds later. Activision has a serious problem with their servers or something (I'm not techy) and it seems this could have been avoided if they'd put a bit more development into the game prior to release. I wish I'd read reviews before purchasing.... I did get it on Christmas day for 40% but I still feel ripped off. Spend your money elsewhere. Expand

    No single player campaign. The same old multiplayer modes. A terrible disappointment of a release.

There's so many bugs that the game is unplayable. Over half of the games never reach a conclusion because of glitches. I don't think this game is worth a single dollar and I find it to be a waste of my life each time I play. The experience is so awful that not only am I done with COD, but with Activision and Treyarch as well. Expand
