(Mainly based off zombies because I play it 99% of the time) good solid game and multiplayer is good, in zombies you have shadows of evil where when the easter egg is done rictofen from origins takes the summoning key and kills the version of him from world at war to black ops 2 before origins, in the giant which is a remake of der reis from world at war, then rictofen and his friends dempsey, takeo and nikolai go to dlc #1 (just saving words by saying dlc and whatever number it is) kill old dempsey, after that dlc #2 where old takeo kills himself after finding out the Japanese empires emperor sent him to there, then dlc#3 where you kill old nikolai, after that the ending of bo3 dlc#4 where you kill the shadow man then dr monty sends you to origins again then starts a cycle that gets broken in bo4, then they did dlc#5 zombie chronicles that re made maps like nacht der toten, verruckt, shino numa, shang ri la and origins.

Black Ops 1-3 are about on the same level of interest and game-play for me. More or less tolerable plot, albeit with frequent silly moments.Black Ops 1-3 are about on the same level of interest and game-play for me.

Campaign was a typical COD campaign and was quite good. What I liked was that you could play the campaign with 3 other people. Multiplayer is fast paced and very fun. I don't see a lot of hackers so that's good. But some of the weapons are too overpowered. Especially the ones you get from crates. I'm ok with the futuristic setting but I know some people don't like it. Zombie mode is great fun and puzzling. Overall it's a great game with a lot of fun content. It's totally worth the price.

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.
