What can I say, after the abysmal Ghosts and Advanced Warfare I was worried if the franchise would keep going down the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and I prayed that Treyarch would be able to save this mess from killing itself from the inside. I loved World at War, I loved Black Ops 1 and 2, so naturally I thought why not give it a try. To my relief they had saved it.

Most people will say "It's just like any other CoD" and that's what I was thinking going into it but I hadn't played CoD properly since Bo2 and I found there were so many different things.

Campain
This is the weakest point of the game, the campain is rubbish. What made the black ops sequel so good was the way it tied in the story of World at War and Bo1 and it was actually really interesting. In this you play as generic soldier no. 04482 and you get cyborg arms and legs and do missions which take far too long and are extremely boring. Not once did I smile or care about what was going on.

They added a new seperate campain called "Nightmares" which sounded good but it turned out to be long and boring. The missions are extremely long and the zombies kill you instantly when they hit you. Not fun at all.


Zombies
Shadows of Evil, the new zombie map, is fun for a bit. It adds so many new things and changes the zombie formula completlely making it much harder to get up to higher rounds, some say it's too hard. The story for Shadows of Evil is interesting and I would like to see how they are going to develop it and blend it into the Origins story.

If you payed another £35 for the Season Pass you would get access to "The Giant" or the more well known name "Der Riese". I only play this map because I know it so well and it's more entertaining that Shadows of Evil. The map looks the same apart from you have the Bo3 weapons and perks. I enjoy it alot because of how much I loved "Der Riese", If you don't buy the Season Pass your locked to Shadows of Evil which can get quite annoying after a while.

Multiplayer
This is why people buy CoD, the mindless multiplayer where you run around and shoot anything that moves. You would be right to say you just run around like any of CoD but you can also slide, climb and swim around the place shooting people. The new wall running mechanics make the maps so much more dynamic allowing you to navigate them it unique ways. The weapons are all fun, some more OP than others (*cough* drakon *cough*) but it's overall really fun. All the new mechanics allow for a much faster pace and your really making use of your slides to quickly navigate the map.

Conclusion
I love this game, The zombies and multiplayer are really fun and I can't wait to see what future DLC will be released for it.
