The general sentiment towards Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 is that it offers a superior zombies experience and enjoys strong support from the modding community, which keeps it relevant and replayable long after release. However, issues with hackers, technical problems, and a steep price point tarnish the overall experience. While the game shines in its zombies mode, the campaign and multiplayer receive recurring criticism for failing to meet expectations, both in terms of gameplay and narrative depth.

  • Mixed Points

  • While the core game elements, like zombies, are highly rated, many players see other aspects, such as the campaign and multiplayer, as lacking.
  • The reliance on mods is seen both as a strength, due to the variety and longevity it provides, and a sign of the game's need for community patches to address security and stability issues.
