    Love it, remember those days you'd play all day long and than late into the night. That is this COD again .BO3 is good online play. The story is pretty good and has a good amount of time to play.

    I love the game. It's just a huge upgrade from advance warfare but I still love ghosts though. The sniper is really hard to use compared to cod ghosts

    I would like to first start off by saying that this Call of Duty is easily the most content filled experience to date. The game comprises of a Campaign, Zombies, and Multiplayer mode that easily offers several hundred hours of game play. Obviously if you considering purchasing Black Ops III then you are a fan of first person shooters, that being said the shooting in this game is on point as usual. The only thing that is especially disappointing in this day and age is the fact that the Multiplayer still doesn't have dedicated servers. Ill break this review up into 3 separate parts representing my opinion of each mode. First of the Campaign is a lot of fun. There are a ton of great Easter eggs to find and explore in the game. The campaign is quite long if you consider all the extra things there is to do. I have yet to finish it but I am over half way through and have barely touched the surface of all you can do in it. I would say if your not a big fan of the Multiplayer mode that the campaign has enough content alone to justify the price of the game. In terms of Graphics and sound the game is quite impressive and definitely helps immerse you into the experience. Zombies is definitely one of my favorite parts of Treyarchs Call of Duty games. It's challenging and a ton of fun to play with friends. Just in the Shadows of Evil arch there is so many secrets and different things you can do each time. Definitely requires some good team work to be successful in Zombies. Casting choice is excellent for the 4 characters and adds humor as well great story the zombies experience. Multiplayer, either you love it or you don't. I feel this year is the most refined it has been in a while. They have been working hard to balance the weapons. SMG's were a little overkill in the beginning but they have since made it to where it's more balanced now. I have enjoyed almost every map that has released initially in the game and honestly Combine is the only map I don't care for sometimes and most of the time it's really not that bad. Weapons overall have a good feel to them and specialist classes are actually really cool and add a very different dynamic that can even the playing field for the less experienced PvP individuals. Considering all the different elements that they have changed in PvP I feel it's quite impressive how well everything feels balanced. Even considering the Specialist abilities, if you have a natural talent with first person shooters you will end up supreme in PvP. Overall I feel this is one of the best renditions of the Call of Duty franchise to date. I haven't enjoyed a Call of Duty game like this since the original Black Ops.

    The best call of duty campaign I have ever played and the best narrative of any game in 2015 (including withcer 3 and MGS). multiplayer is much better than last year's disappointing Advanced Warfare and Ghosts' ghost-like matches. Zombies has only gotten weirder and more elaborate but features a "new" ranking up system for zombies with prestiging like it is in multiplayer. Though zombies does have a few flaws with the way the zombies hit you, they hit you far too fast. you run out of ammo? Have to reload? You may as well give up because one zombie can come literally SPRINTING in and K.O you in a second and you're downed.Very little flaws (except for the ones in zombies, as there are more flaws i didn't mention which are likely to be patched in the future)

    This is by far one of the most in depth stories I've seen out of a call of duty series. This might be my favorite campaign out of every COD! The online play is smooth and seamless. The sound,the graphics are all just amazing. They've truly out done themselves. The campaign is also online co-op. So you can have a buddy jump in and out with you as you continue to play the campaign. If you're new to the franchise,this is a great game to hop in and try

    This game takes everything you loved about the core of black ops 2 and throws a futuristic spin on it. Most will automatically compare this game to last year's Advanced Warfare, but that couldn't be further from the truth. Advanced Warfare was a camp fest that had everyone trying to get on top of buildings. Black Ops 3 fixes this by making the stages run and gun friendly and restricting the ability to get on roofs. The boost ability in this game is more for slides, climbing, and wall running. The familiar weapon attachment system is back from Black Ops 2, but slightly tweaked to give you more control on how many attachments you want. It is possible to remove all perks and all utilized slots for creating a completely decked out gun with a max of five attachments and a sight. The guns in this game are abnormally good. There are quite a few quality SMGs, LMGs, Assault Rifles. Basically, something for everyone depending on how big the map is. One new addition to this game is the ability to choose a specific character for multiplayer use. Each character has a metered special ability that can be used in game. When the special ability is utilized, one character can infrared outlines of enimies through walls, another character can rewind time, and others get a weapon upgrade. This aspect makes the game feel new, but keeps the overall core mechanics familiar. The game is super solid and fun to play. The campaign, multiplayer, and zombie modes will provide more than enough bang for your buck. Just buy it already.

    Best CoD put out in years and worth the money. The online play is back after the miserable versions of Ghosts and Advanced Warfare where I didn't even bother to prestige. I plan to prestige multiple times and get the season pass for this version. Money wise it's like getting 3 games for the price of one, the campaign, multiplayer and zombie mode seem like 3 different games, love it. Stay frosty.

    I cant wait to see what they are doing with the Zombies part of the game. I didn't like Sledgehammer's version of Zombies with the Exo's. It just didn't stick to the heart and soul of Call of Duty Zombies. I didn't even buy it that's how bad it looked. The Zombies portion of the game is important. I almost enjoy it more than the game itself. The last Treyarch Zombies, Origins was a masterpiece, that DLC was amazing. Countless hours of fun playing that. They need to get those same developers together and create another. Ill buy it for sure.

    They did a nice job with this game bringing back some of the things that made old multiplayer great. Really like new game modes like safeguard. Zombies is complicated but still fun to play, bringing back Der Riese in the form of the giant is pretty great for a fun simple zombie experience. Campaign was fantastic with a great story line. Great game.

    Black ops was my fav of the previous two installments but, Black Ops 3 now takes the cake. Long time fan of Call of Duty games. The story is great in this game, tons of action, cyber abilities are a new twist (weapons & movement are familiar but, the abilities bring a slightly new approach to gameplay). Very fun, recommend.

    This is the best Call of Duty ever made. I have played EVERY one and this has gone back to the way zombies was when it was fun, great campaign, love the campaign co-op. I love the Nightmare mode too. For years I have said I wish they would make a COD but with Zombies and now they have and Multiplayer is THE BEST!

    I don't play the multiplayer much so I can't really review that, but the rest is great. The campaign is still challenging, although the realistic mode is well named, and not for me. I do wish that you could play 4 players on the zombies on one Xbox, but aside from that, its all good.

    Black Ops 3 is a very good one if you are getting back into the game. The multiplayer is very fun and addictive as usual. Zombies is very fun aswel. I love what they have done with the campaign. You are able to find people to play through it with.

    There is so much content in black ops 3 it's crazy to think some other game makers charge the same for what they put out. Between zombies, multiplayet, and the campaign there's something everyone will love. And don't forget split screen co-op!

    Black ops 3 definitely will not give you an empty feeling...campaign, zombies, and multiplayer give you plenty of things to do...still has the call of duty feel like most previous entries but treyarch still makes this entry unique...worth a shot in my opinion
