Without spoiling much, the plot starts off as your stereotypical military romp but evolves into something a lot more meaningful that manages to hold your attention as it progresses. It rarely misses a beat and gets even crazier towards the end. In terms of pacing, Treyarch has done a great job. The best part? You never feel that its dragging its heels. Just when you think a mission would end, you'll realise there's an adrenaline filled third act to go. The campaign is also loaded to the brim with epic set-pieces and action sequences that live up to the series' reputation. That's a bit of a cliche, but to our surprise, it was every bit as engaging as the main campaign. It remixes the 11 sprawling missions we just played through, into a zombie apocalypse story. On finishing it, we were greeted by a secondary campaign known as Nightmares. The story missions are bigger than what we've come to expect from a Call of Duty game, and our playthrough lasted 15 hours. (Also see: Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 - Everything You Need to Know )
#CALL OF DUTY: BLACK OPS 3 SERIES#
Most games in the series limited the campaign to a quick five to six hour romp, meant to be a tutorial for the multiplayer, but Black Ops 3 has a much more engaging campaign for you. Be it grandiose statements from game makers at events like E3 or posts on Steam, it appears to be the buzzword of choice at the moment, on par with "micro-transactions", "free-to-play", and "open-world" as one of the more overused words in gaming today.īut what does this have to do with Call of Duty: Black Ops 3? Well, the game's developers at Treyarch have actually listened to what the fans were saying and there's no greater testament to that than Black Ops 3's campaign.
