Call of Duty: Black Ops III - Zombies Pass

What can I say... timeless classic and must have for every Doom/Wolfenstein3D fan. <3

Campaign:
+ Awesome music and good graphics
+ Co-op is fun as hell
+ Challenging new "Realistic mode" which is incredibly fun to play with 4 players in co-op
+ Nightmares as an additional mode after beating the main storyline
+ the story is good but...

- ... its only 'good' and sometimes hard to understand without CoDwiki or something... and its not only my opinion as Black Ops 1 was very good and Black Ops 2 was a gawd damn masterpiece with probably one of the best villains* not only in CoD series but in gaming in general but... Black Ops 3 is just... good and thats all... nothing special
- A huge step back comparing to Black Ops 2 (one ending, no moral choices, no extra missions etc.)
- Only 11 missions (which is about 6-7hrs of gameplay and maybe 10-11hrs on realistic mode)
- None of the characters are interesting
- Character customization is a joke

6/10... and 8/10 if You want to play with friends

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Multiplayer:
+ Almost great balance
+ Well designed maps (with a little exception for Breach... wtf is this map???)
+ Specialists are awesome
+ Swimming, thrust jumps and wall running equals smooth and fast paced action
+ Paintjobs, gunsmith, black market, character/weapon customization, tons of skins, challenges and stuff

+/- Some maps are not designed for a new movement system, but its not a problem when map looks awesome

- Some "special abilities" are not as good as the others or they are too good (I'm looking at You Reaper)
- Small amount of weapons (7x AR, 6x SMG, 4x LMG/Shotguns/Sniper rifles, 3 pistols, 2 launchers and a knife)... thats 31 in total comparing to 42 in Black Ops and 49 in MW3

9/10

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zombies:
+ 'Shadows of evil' is climatic as hell
+ Easter eggs
+ Interesting characters (especially in 'SoE')
+ Quotable dialogues
+ Gooblegums
+ Dead Ops Arcade 2 is way better than the first one
+ You can unlock extra weapon camos by playing zombies (same with campaign, but campaign skins are ugly as f*ck)
+ New Pack-a-Punch mechanics that gives You extra perks for Your weapon when You are upgrading it many times
+ Thank God we dont have 'thrust jumps' and wall runs in Zombies (well... we can wallrun on one spot in SoE but... its only one damn spot so its acceptable I think)

- Ummm... where the hell is Grief Mode?
- Only one map (three if we count 'the Giant' as expansion and 'Dead Ops Arcade' as mini-game)

8/10 (well I would give 9 out of 10 but... its only one map and the rest will be in dlc so... we just need to wait)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

tl;dr? :P

In overall I rate this game 8+/10 with its great multiplayer, awesome zombies mode and cooperative campaign. The only one true downside is the 'Single Player' mode which is not satisfying as it should be with its mediocre plot and lack of things that Black Ops 2 gave to us 3 years ago.

P.S. I didn't mention 'Free run' mode which is basically a time trail on 4 special maps. Its fun to check once in a while. Nothing special but its not bad.

* I'm not a fanboy of Black Ops 2 but seriously... Menendez is a well crafted character with an interesting backstory... the problem is that most of the CoD players are rushing campaign (or didnt even touch it) just to beat it as fast as they can and they are not interested in characters. Menendez was ranked #1 on GameInformer's list of top 10 villain's of 2012.

Never gets old...

9+/10

Its garbage comparing to UT2k4...

+ hmmm... nice graphics?
+ and uh... VCtF and Greed game types are fun.

- Less weapons (btw. BioRifle looks like sh1t)
- Less maps (only a few classic stages)
- Less game types (where the ♥♥♥♥ is Domination, Assault and Last Man Standing?)
- Less mutators (and 90% of them are not configurable... why?)
- Weird vehicles (new Scorpion is useless)
- No Skaarjs? (WHY?)

6/10 (you'd better try UT2k4)

+ No

- Yes

1/10

+ Everything... except...

- ... low variety of weapons and skins for them.
- Hmmm...? Bullpup Shotgun is weak.

10/10

+ Nice campaign w/ co-op
+ Multiplayer is sooo much different comparing to other Call of Duty games since 2007 (CoD4)
+ Awesome (custom) zombies + death cards
+ Mods!
+ More mods!
+ You can even 360 trickshot all the characters from "Five Nights at Freddy's" with Your Intervention ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
+ ... and ofc. nice audio/video

- Pretty small amount of weapon variations but... it's WWII so it's forgivable...
- Some missions are boring but... show me a game without boring missions ;p

8+/10 (SP/MP)

9+/10 (ZM)

+ Awesome graphics and audio (this game has been developed in 2003)
+ Tons of maps, modes, weapons, vehicles, mutators and more...
+ Probably best AI in gaming history...
+ Onslaught <3

- Third person view is bugged, but You can download unofficial fix for it ;)
- Lack of Domination game mode (there is a new variation of it called "Double Domination", but it's not as great as normal Domination)

9+/10
