Yes, the wall-running is cool, as are Specialists and the addition of underwater gunplay, but the problem is that BO3's multiplayer suite, while undeniably enjoyable, just doesn't feel as innovative or exciting as AW's. If certainly not as boring and ordinary as Ghosts' forgettable online showing, it's just a collection of decent but non-classic maps (Nuketown aside), competent gunplay and not a lot more. That desire to keep playing just isn't there in the same measure: it feels too ordinary, and though most will inevitably reach that Prestige Mode marker, there's a good chance that, like in many previous games, you'll never play it again once you reset to level 1. With your annual "duty" out of the way and the likes of Fallout 4 and Star Wars Battlefront on the way, it might be tough to convince yourself to return to it over the next few months. What do you make of Black Ops 3 so far? Shout it out in the comments!
