Black Ops 3 has a whole lot to offer. It's just that most of it is god awful.

Longest campaign with coop included! Sounds good but then you play it and its a pretentious confusing story that has good ideas but it feels like you need 3 wiki pages, one stupid long youtube video and 3 reddit posts open at the same time simply to understand what happens. It's not that its a deep and complex story but rather that the story telling is absolutely terrible and things just kinda happen without explanation, apparently there's like 2 different timelines going on at the same time in this game and I just tapped out and stopped trying to understand it a while ago.

The multiplayer expands on AW's mp and it is fun at times but the map design is once again too restrictive and boring for this type of advanced movement. The gunplay feels pretty generic and mediocre, a step down from AW's gunplay imo. Also loot boxes once again can be found in the game and all the DLC weapons are placed in them for some reason, why pay like 10$ for DLC weapons when you could pay 100$ for loot boxes for a chance to get them and not even get close to getting one!

There's like 3 zombie modes for some fucking reason. There's the normal 'zombies' mode which has ONE singular map with the rest being payed dlc, yeah go fuck yourself Activision. There's like a version of the campaign but with zombies and why the fuck would anyone want that? And there's that dead ops arcade thing from BO1 that's back and just as fine as before.

Besides that there's also a crappy freerun mode that feels slapped together and cheap.

Best thing that I can say is that I appreciate the fact this game has workshop support for steam ig. Still, terrible game imo.
