Call of Duty: Black Ops III



Rating: 8.5/10 (Likely to change with more announcements from Treyarch)

In the latest installment on Call of Duty, we go back to the Black Ops timeline for a futuristic setting. Unlike the last installment of Call of Duty, there aren't any Exo Suits (Something that's good and bad.) It seems to build on the Black Ops II campaign with newer gadgets such as robotic limbs that turn into machine guns and can hack computers, and four-legged tank walkers. The trailer showed Exo suit-like movements such as increased jump and speed. Also new weapons such as  a rolling ball with razors that can chop up enemies (Treyarch took a page from Half Life 2 and the Rollermine) Combat droids, and robotic insect drones that explode and can kill people. The game also hinted at the other Black Ops in its tease by playing audio clips from the games and then hinted at the infamous "Black Ops Zombies" at the end of the trailer. While some players are cocerned with the weapons being too over-powered or the newer gadgets taking away from the authentic Call of Duty experience. As of right now, this looks like it's going to be a great game for all CoD players.
