Hello Community! Today I want to discuss [i]Call of Duty: Black Ops 3[/i] with people who've [b]actually played the game[/b]. Most of my post strive to be objective, but this one will be subjective, expressing my complete thoughts on the game.
First off, I'm a CoD [u]noob[/u]. This was my first CoD and I'm partly through my first prestige and genuinely enjoying myself, sporting around a 1.7 KD (don't know if that's good or bad). And I understand that my noobiness has something to do with me liking the game as much as I do.
[b][u]What I like about the game[/u][/b]
-[i]The Balance[/i].
Some might disagree, but I find the balance in the game to be top notch for a FPS. There's no weapon that is marginally better than all the others and with my background in Destiny, that's a welcomed sight.
-[i]Customization[/i]
I always like personalizing my character. And although I view BO3's customization as bare bones, it's better than nothing.
-[i]The fast paced gameplay[/i]
Speaks for itself, I love the fast paced gameplay and I find the movement system complements the fast TTK in that it makes for some pretty exciting engagements.
-[i]The Killcam[/i]
Again, this is my first CoD, but I believe all games should incorporate a Killcam so the player can see their mistake leading to their death instead of looking at the player who killed them for the next 5 seconds.
[b][u]What I dislike about the game[/u][/b]
-[i]The maps/spawn combo[/i]
I understand that in order to get that fast paced feel, the maps have to complement it. But I don't like how you spawn in and can literally die 3 seconds later. When I spawn in, I assume that I'm safe for a grace period, but when the maps are so small, someone can run into you seconds after spawning.
-[i]Hit detection[/i]
The hit detection in this game is absolutely awful. This is especially evident when one sees the Killcam; often, players will get hit markers for shots that don't seem to connect.
-[i]They copied Destiny and Titanfall[/i]
Please refer to the previous line.
[b][u]What I absolutely hate about the game[/u][/b]
-[i]Specialist[/i]
I want to be clear in that I hate the "supers" the specialist have, not the specialist themselves. I hated them in Destiny and I hate them here. I once was told that everytime I die, it's my own fault. However, I can't help it if I get fist of havoc'd...whoops... I mean gravity spiked. There's no gunskill in pressing two buttons and getting that kill.
-[i]Scorestreaks[/i]
Let me be clear again, I hate Scorestreaks that net you direct kills (i.e. Wraith, Talon, Cerberus, Guardian, Hailstorm, motherships etc not the non-lethal Scorestreaks like the UAV.) for the same reason I hate Specialist and Supers. There's no skill in pressing a button and letting the CPU get you a kill. My main thing in [i]Gunskill[/i], I want the reason I died is because you beat me in the engagement, not because you got enough kills to get [i]more[/i] free kills.
[u]Conclusion[/u]
As I said, this is my first CoD and I like it, but I recognize its flaws. I'm very curious to know how others feel about the game, especially the veterans who've been playing for a number of years.

Better than Ghosts and AW but not as good as MW2 or Blops 2. (IMHO)
