Call of Duty: Black Ops III - Standard Edition - Xbox One

Can't go wrong with this game as a gift. It lasts a while and kids will go back to play it all the time. Suitable for older children.

It was fun while I played the game until other versions came out, sadly like all games they will eventually retire.

So guys! I love this COD! The campaign was VERY INTERESTING. The beginning was normal, futuristic but normal. But twards the end of the of it it became very abstract. Floating islands of land, Wolves, Voices. GREAT STORYLINE for the most part. Cool thing about this game is Once you finish the Campaign, there is a second campaign called 'Nighmares' which is the storyline of how Zombies started. This one im dissapointed with because they did not use new maps for it, or even new scenes. They literally took the same storyline scenes and missions but voiced over them changing the story a little from the fist campaign. I MEAN The EXACT SAME MAPS AND STORY SCENES. If an enemy had come running around the corner in the first campaign then the zombie would do the same on that level. So it was kinda like redoing what I already did but instead of being shot at, I was mobbed. Cool music! I havnt finished the second campaign thow. things could get better! Online play is pretty cool. There is multiplayer, instead of designing your character, you choose from 9 characters that have their own cool talent and weapon. You can only use the talent or the weapon. And you have to level up with kills before you can use it for a short period of time.(when you start, you can only choose from the first 4 characters.) For instance You can choose Battery, a hot chick with a War Machine(grenade launcher on steroids) for weapon, and her talent is a a bullet proof vest called kinetic armor. You can be this character but can only choose her weapon or talent. You can choose from a couple guns to start out with no attachments and the more you sue the gun the more you unlock, like other guns, attachments and cool perks. There is also something called Arena, I dont understand how it works, I think that before ther game starts you get to ban weapons and certain things from the game? then you play but cant use those things. Its called Arena. And then there is Zombies. It is the hardest Zombies I've played yet. HUGE HUGE map, i still have not seen all of it. I havnt lived long enough to. There are secret rooms, There are stairs that you can make appear. There are many levels, from a canal, to the streets, to buildings. There is a train. There is a porthole to a weird room with witches. There is a tentacle monster with 3 heads. Giant flying acid spitting bugs. There is just so much! its awesome! There are a couple of other features. Like being able to race on a map that trains you to use the thrust jump, assisted slide, running on walls and other things seamlessly. All in all, They did awesome. I only wish that i could customize my character more. Like her hair color or what not. But otherwise I fight my man for the controller!

I've never seen so many trolls than I have on Call of Duty review pages. If you try to compare BO3 to Advanced Warfare, you should put the pipe down. There are many differences. BO3 > AW: 1. The multiplayer gameplay is much smoother 2. They removed the arguably overdone and overused exo suit and replaced it with the mechanics and movements of a player found in Titanfall (the great part about Titanfall) 3. The multiplayer has completely shifted towards player combat instead of first person to get the big scorestreaks like in AW (which required the player to camp). This makes it fun and more skill-based 4. The "Winners Circle" is a little corny at the end of a multiplayer match but provides the opportunity for some creativity because you can customize the taunts and look of your character. ---- The only thing I see that they kept the same was the multiplayer lobby menu where you vote for the next map. Other than that, it looks and feels like a different game. It's well polished and extremely fun. Others on this thread don't seem to think that but I'd classify them as high trolls. You don't give a game 1 star because your having troubles installing or think it's the same game when it's not.

I wanted to take the time and explain all of the content on the game so buyers can make an informed purchase. As many know since there are 3 different makers of the game the gameplay and content can change drastically between them. This game is made by Treyarc. If you do not follow them they are the original creators of zombies and often regarded as the best of the three. Now for the review. Campaign: The campaign allows for 4 different difficulties ranging from beginner to holy sh**. The game allows for multiplayer campaign which is a huge plus and a lacking feature from the years previous which I really enjoy. The graphics are what you would expect from such a large franchise so I won't go into detail there. In the game you are outfitted with a chip in your brain which allows you to interpret various things very quickly and also give you advantages such as hacking robots and or causing them to self destruct. The overall gameplay is not the best seen in the years of call of duty but it is well made. Smooth frame rates provide a really good experience overall. The game doesn't allow you to skip cut scenes and many are pretty long. I particularly like following the story however this could get old for some. One the campaign is complete it opens a new mode which is a zombie story mode. I personally am really excited about this however due to the long story mode and attempting it on realistic I have not made it that far yet. I will update my review when I reach that area of the game. EDIT: The cut scenes are in fact skip-able and when playing a mission on realistic it is best to play with friends. Even when with friends a single mission will take on the order of 1-2 hours depending on the mission. The zombie story mode is a lot of fun and depending on the difficulty you select can be very very challenging. At the beginning of a level there will be a mystery box. It's actually very well done in how they incorporate random things that have become a staple in the zombie mode. I was anxious to reach the zombie story mode, but was a bit reserved in thinking it might not be laid out very well. It is in fact is even more fun than the main story line in my opinion. I wont include any spoilers for those who haven't played either story line, but the game play is amazing. Multiplayer: The multiplayer is standard call of duty but has the addition of a super power and wall running. I particularly don't care for the wall running or double jump and all that fancy stuff but if it must be added to the game then it is much better than the Exo suit from last years call of duty. The map designs are really nice for multiplayer and the overall game play feels very balanced depending on play style. EDIT: I have actually come to enjoy the wall running mechanics unlike previously stated. It takes some getting use to but once you jump on a wall to begin wall running go ahead and aim down the sights and its a good method the sneak over to a player and get the kill before he realizes where you are. The "super" powers that you can select from are a very nice touch. While some are way more useful than others I personally prefer the annihilator. Its a one shot one kill pistol and if you are an accurate shot then this is a must try. It is very effective and impossible to defend if you are accurate. Miss a shot however and the very slow reload will most likely render you dead. Zombies: Disclaimer...I love zombies. The first and only map of black ops 3 is amazing. It's a huge map with many things to explore. In place of dogs however there are these bat like creatures that come every 5 rounds or so. Also as you increase in rounds a octopus like boss arrives and will chase you. He really isn't a big deal...easy to kill but more and more of these boss like creatures will begin to spawn each round. There are a few new additions such as gum balls and a new perk. I won't explain every detail but if you are a fan of zombies then you will enjoy the new map. Make sure to google how to find the perks as there are busted bottles that will explain the best direction to travel towards to get the desired perk. In order to turn on power etc you will need to become the "beast" which is ok I guess. It's new and different but not sure how I feel about it yet. I will say this though it's much better than the bus map that black ops 2 came with. Good luck Easter egg hunting!!!! I will add that if you are playing with a group of 4 I have found a very good strategy that will allow you to reach the higher rounds and each have their own circle. Once you open pack a punch room one player stays in there while another is just outside pack a punch while remaining in the rift. As long as you have opened all the rifts the other 2 players can simultaneously run the boxing ring circle. This will allow one to face forward and clear the path while the other is opening fire to clear the zombies chasing you. Ok so that's a quick rundown of the changes and what to expect. Please do not downvote cause you are a fanboy or hate the game and do not agree with what I said. I am attempting to inform buyers of the changes and what to expect. Although some is my opinion of course I tried to give an honest review with no bias. Update 12/9/15: So I have had a lot of time playing the game now and have unlocked everything that you can. Basically for the price of the game you are getting 2 full length story modes (Normal and zombie), the standard call of duty multiplayer with the addition of powers and wall running, and a massive zombie map that offers a ton of replayablility. Honestly Treyarc killed it with this game. although its not perfect since there are still glitches such as the game randomly freezing causing you to start a 2 hour mission over as well as a few other annoyances I highly highly recommend this game to those that are on the fence. IMO this is the best multiplayer experience to come from the Call of Duty franchise in a long time.

The Call of Duty Franchise has really let me down in the past 2 years. This game is absolutely refreshing and had so much thought put into its creation. I have owned it for nearly 2 months and still play nearly every day. The best part about Black Ops III is, in my opinion the multiplayer. It is highly enjoyable and there are so many achievements/camos to earn that it keeps you busy and always trying to achieve another goal. There are very few glitches and the servers for me are very stable (NA East Coast). IF you get tired of multiplayer or if it's not your cup of tea then you can enjoy the other modes offered. -Zombies (You try to survive as many rounds possible by killing all of the zombies) Single Player OR Multiplayer -Freerun (Uses the new mechanics of jumping, sliding, and running on walls to try and complete an obstacle course) -This mode is very fun and can get quite competitive among friends. It also gives you a feel for the new mechanics introduced in Black Ops III. -Campaign (Basically a single player story-mode) -Nightmares (A story mode for zombies) I haven't played much of this mode, but what little I did play I enjoyed thoroughly! Pros: -Great Multiplayer -Multiple Modes to choose from -Graphics look amazing! (I'm on an Xbox One, Graphics on PS4 and PC are even better) -Vast amount of multiplayer Achievements to unlock -Newly introduced movement system is VERY fluid (unlike previous COD title Advanced Warfare) Cons: -Doesn't have completely dedicated servers -Honestly can't think of any more negatives about this title.. If you are a fan of Call of Duty or of shooters in general I would highly recommend this game!

I've always been a COD fan since the games first came out. They've definitely evolved over the years. This game has amazing graphics and smooth motion in the gameplay. I like the campaign and I especially like that you can create and customize your own character in the campaign. The multiplayer is pretty good, it's just many of the guns have low damage or low range and adding attachments doesn't help that greatly in some cases. As for the zombie mode, I absolutely love it! I've always loved the Treyarch zombies, and on this game they are awesome. I love the new maps and the new things that you can do in zombie mode. Anyone who is a fan of Treyarch's zombies will love the zombie mode on this game. Over all, this game is pretty cool and would definitely. I just hope that Activision and Treyarch can make another COD game that goes back to modern time or even much further back in time which would be awesome. It's just all these futuristic games aren't always holding interest anymore, but they're still fun.

Wall running, robots ripping arms, augmentation, robots!?, zombies, and shooting underwater. These are some of the great things within black ops 3. The only problem with this game is that it doesn't connect with the other two black ops games. I assume they'll make a sequel so I guess I don't mind that. I think this game was great but i still stand by my opinion that they should stop making future games and instead look to the past. We still haven't really had a game about the civil war or revolutionary war yet. I also think that they should stop releasing them every year so they can increase in quality story-wise. Enough about my ranting. Overall just an incredible game.

Great price great quality! Returned the one I got in store do to lag and not being able to save my progress for some reason and got this one from Amazon for half the price it was in store. very happy and a great couch coop game!

Treyarch has done a great job on black ops 3. The graphics are just amazing. Though I got it after an year after release it still is a great game, just like black ops 2 which is still played today. Zombies mode is over the top, multi player is very satisfactory and so is campaign. The bonus nightmares mode and dead ops arcade 2 mode are just too good to be true. The Shadows Of Evil map has a lot of fun eastereggs which are complex, but very rewarding. The Gobblegum system is one of the best upgrades to the zombies game mode.

Todo perfecto y el mejor precio. Aunque la portada que aparece aqui parece de eeuu, la que entrega es la versión de españa.

A classic shooter better than a lot of more modern shooters IMO.

The best COD game in a while. The wall running is limited and you really don't need if you don't want. There is boost jump which I actually don't mind, it does come in handy. The only thing I don't like is the character you must pick for multiplayer, it's not terrible just not needed.
