As far as game play, if you don't like it, you don't like it. But regarding the technical side of the software, I feel like this game was programed better than the last call of duty. Without getting to technical, it runs on slower computers (asus g75 with an nvidia 660m playable at lower resolutions) and runs maxed out at 40fps or 120 fps on high settings on an asus g20 i7 with nvidia gtx 960.
The picture below is my tripple screen setup playing singlenplayer.

This game looks beautiful and runs great on PC! The new zombies map is a ton of fun to play, as well as adding some great new features and ramping up the difficulty. If you're a fan of Treyarch Zombies, don't think twice about picking this game up! As for the other modes, the Campaign was a letdown compared to BO1 and 2 but it wasn't bad, and Multiplayer is fun but doesn't add anything new really other than the specialist system, which can be very OP in cases. However I have over 90 hours in Zombies currently and the game is worth it for that alone!

The campaign so far isn't nearly as good as the previous and quite forgettable. Multiplayer is what you expect from the CoD franchise so no surprises there. I do like the maps, they are definitely fun and keep my coming back for more. Now you can walk on the walls and shoot at the same time which makes it more interesting. Same jumps like advanced warfare.

As I have all the C.O.D. games, I was inclined to get this one after seeing the trailers and info on it. While it works great and gives you enough to play with, the inherent difficulty it require is something of a nuisance to work with. Certain level require almost genius gameplay to travers through them, even at lower difficulties. Trying to figure out what you have to do to get past some of the sequences is tiring and not really fun at all.
I've played about one-third through and haven't had an urge to get back into it for these reasons. I thought Wolfenstein was really awful and terribly bad, but this game, while offering better graphics and shooting action is the close to the same for me but on a different plane. I wish I could get cheater codes to use to make the game more fun and at least see what to expect and not have to wrack my brains trying to figure out what it is they want you to do (for the sake of fun?!)
A lot of the older C.O.D's IMO have better interaction and great AI and are a lot of fun as an alternative to these futuristic mind benders!

The game itself is well made, very detailed, and immersive. However a 6 DVD install without a download option is a bit excessive. Also, if you plan to play with a controller instead of keyboard and mouse, its worth the extra money to get an official xbox controller, as the logitech versions do not work well due to the dpad/stick layout not being customizable within the game.

Run of the mill COD game. Great story mode game. Multi-player still suffers from poor team balance and lag tuning, but it is still a great way to waste a few hour blowing off steam

COD BO is a very good game, that keeps you on your toes. Let your guard down and you will be toast (very well done toast), Only complaint is that the campaign (single player) is too short. But that can be said of most of the FPS games these days. I don't play on line, so I guess that's my problem (and my internet speed or lack thereof). Well worth the money though, if you are looking for a fast-paced game that is lots of fun.

Black Ops 3 finally brings back to the table something much desired since Ghosts. It may as well be considered a typical rehash of the series but what it does is it perfects what the based games has delivered successfully in past iterations. Sure I'd love to play a completely revamped game that delivers Call of Duty in a new way never before seen like it did with Modern Warfare 1 but at least now I got a pick up and play game I can enjoy for the time being.

The call of Duty Black Ops franchise has been good quality since day one. However, it really is just more of the same. I would like to see them make a game that has about 100 hours of campaign. Like other games of this nature you keep repeating the same map over and over. It is fun, but for gamers of my nature the fun is relatively short lived.

Best COD Yet...

But doesn't everyone say that for every COD game that comes out? Don't be fooled. I think they got it right this time. Graphics are top notch, I got this for PC and the matchmaking system is greatly improved over the Advanced Warfare matchmaking system. I am almost instantly connected to a game, every time. I did have a few issues installing, but I think that was primarily due to Steam (I didn't use the disc to install) who has DVD Drives nowadays anyways? I got the physical copy to go on the shelf with my other COD boxes.
Grab this game, you will not be disappointed.

Pretty much offers a similar experience to other Call of Duty games. The rich get richer in this game and can be frustrating if you are on the poor end. If you intend on playing Nuke town that comes with it, good luck because I haven't even seen it in multiplayer. All in all it is fun, frantic and addicting.

If you liked call of duty black ops 2 then you will like this game. New weapons and so on but it plays a lot like black ops 2. If you are awesome in black ops 2 then you should like this game. If you stink at black ops 2 then it will be no different here.

A good remake of the 60's TV show. There was some split screen work that made it interesting. Lots of action (not as much as a Bond film) but overall a nice job. fairly good story and good acting.

This is a great game if you are a call of duty fan but if you are new to the franchise it can seem confusing and difficult to fully grasp the mechanics. It does have the same feel as advance warfare but with specialist classes that make any fight seem overpowered and cheap, yet nothing beats rushing in and getting a triple. If you're into that and patient with the learning curve then you will enjoy this game. Don't be surprised of any cheap kills and maneuvers that make no sense. You have been warned!

Let's face it, this is no artistic expression or masterpiece, what it is is a fun exhilarating game with many extra modes to play with your online friends.
