Console Corner: Call Of Duty Black Ops 3 review
Well Black Ops 3 is the first black ops of the series that I’ve played in truth so I don’t have a lot to compare it to.

The first major plus is super slick movement. The new wall running ability and the returning boost jumps, which were in Advanced Warfare but now feel somewhat more realistic or at least less ridiculous.
The graphics are very sharp and the multiplayer maps are well thought out.

I personally would recommend taking this on first because as long as you don’t opt for the easy skill level you will get a good learning curve taking you into your multiplayer matches., which can be disheartening if a newbie.
As well as campaign there is a mode called freerun which puts you in a virtual reality style environment where you have you manoeuvre your way around a course in the best time possible. This is carried out on multiple maps.

With some truly awesome weapons to unlock and customisation items to gain from all modes your hardest choice when loading up Black Ops 3 will be which mode to play, which is a vast improvement on previous CODs which were all about the multiplayer.
Customisation is another huge plus with a plethora of gun paint jobs, emblems and your own sets of variants for each weapon.

Treyarch have totally put the player at the heart of CODBO3 and I can only see this becoming an even bigger success than its predecessor was on the competitive gaming scene.
The only complaint I have is... I’m not going to get enough time to play it as much as I want to.
