The zombies is also fantastic, and one of the most fun in the series. The campaign is horrible tho. Train go boom am I right?… Expand

   Call of Duty Black Ops III
   Probably the most complete game in the series

   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… Expand

   Most reviews here aren't judging this game on its merits or flaws, but rather because of the series it's in.
   
   Which is unfortunate, becauseMost reviews here aren't judging this game on its merits or flaws, but rather because of the series it's in.
   
   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.… Expand

   Call of duty: Black Ops 3 is yet another installment upon the almost endless COD series. This is a completely unbiased review as i like COD,Call of duty: Black Ops 3 is yet another installment upon the almost endless COD series. This is a completely unbiased review as i like COD, and battlefield just the same, so lets begin. First things first; the campaign is the WORST COD campaign of all time. The Plot is stupid, concluded, melodramatic, hard to follow, and just down right boring. The "characters" are so poorly written, and don't effect the plot whatsoever. Your "buddy Boy" Hendricks is the worst sidekick in FPS history. Overall, The Campaign is the worst part of the entire game. Don't play it. Zombies are back, but is much more sophisticated than Black Ops 2. with a improved leveling, stat, and gun system. However we have more uninteresting characters, 1 map, and boring online game play. Multiplayer is the only reason i gave this review a 4. Much better than AW's awful Multiplayer, but much worse than black ops 2's. Again We have an OP gun in every class, Like the VMP, KN44, 205 Brecci, P-06, and Dingo. The specialist system is a small breath of fresh air, but like the guns, its crystal clear some abilities and weapons are better than others. The Supply Drop system is back, and is a little better than AW's. We have Supply drop only weapons with a little bit better drop rates, but still its frustrating and an annoyance However all the small silver linings make a unpolished and difficult multiplayer experience. Overall a lack luster COD, and another disappointment from treyarch.… Expand

   I cannot believe it. I cannot **** believe it. They actually made new weapons, and put them, guess where, in supply drops. The drop rates forI cannot believe it. I cannot **** believe it. They actually made new weapons, and put them, guess where, in supply drops. The drop rates for these weapons are .8 percent. That's ridiculous. They say its not gambling, because you can earn keys to get the drops in game, and drops usually give you a camo, but the keys take forever to get and the camos are **** 99 percent of the time. No, Im not some angry 12 year old writing this in the heat of the moment after I threw 200 dollars at the supply drops and got **** I have several of the weapons, but the fact is that many, many people have thrown away their money at Treyarchs gambling loophole. Acitvision needs to know that this **** isn't going to be tolerated by the community.… Expand
