I absolutely love black ops 3's multiplayer. Unlike the past few CoDs that have come out which felt gimmicky and crammed with unnecessary features, Black Ops 3's multiplayer feels more simplistic and reminiscent of the older CoDs yet still manages to keep newer features like the jetpack from AW. To my surprise, it took less than a second to find a game in Australia at 5 am with a ping of 40ms; it seems as if there's already a large amount of players which is great considering it took forever to find a game in ghosts (understandably). I can easily see myself playing this like I did black ops 1.

Zombies... Zombies i'm not too sure about, I didn't play much of it and I did play it solo, but it was really complicated. I didn't understand what was going on or where I was (probably due to it being the first time I ever played it). I dislike the way zombies has become more fantasy than reality; they've allowed you to go into beast mode which allows you to turn into a giant slug, they've also added new perks and consumables which come in the form or gum balls or new perk-a-cola machines such as 'widowers wine'. I haven't made my mind up on it but based on the map alone, it's definitely not as bad as Black Ops 2's zombie mode and I honestly think it will be fun once I learn the map and how things work especially if it's with a couple of mates.

As for the campaign, much like Black Ops 2 and AW, its set in the future and though it is fun to play, the storyline was dull.I was hoping for it to pick up where black ops 2 left off as 2 did with black ops 1. There was a reference to Raul Menendez and the nova 6 gas which was interesting and unexpected. I found that completing the campaign on the veteran difficulty seemed easier that previous call of duty games, probably because they've added another difficulty, 'realistic' which I've yet to try out. They've also introduced zombies into the campaign in the form of a new game mode called 'nightmares' which was unlocked after completing the campaign and is probably my favourite part of black ops 3. It's basically the campaign retold to include zombies with a new and separate storyline.

After the release of Black Ops 2, Ghosts and Advanced Warfare I was really hesitant to buy Black Ops 3 but I'm glad I did. Overall I've really enjoyed black ops 3, it's good to finally play a decent CoD game again. Would definitely recommend.
