Praise
Call of Duty Black Ops 3 was a very great game that introduced a lot of new futuristic aspects into the black ops series. In this game you have a mini jetpack where you can jump and launch higher in the air for a certain period of time. The movement of this game felt very fluent and very futuristic too, where you could easily slide and jump in the air with your mini jetpack I talked about already. You also could wall run as well and jump off of those walls to shoot and kill your enemy. You also had the look of the game where it looked more futuristic than the traditional black ops games. This game mode zombies had one of the best maps in all of the call of duty games ever called Der Eisendrache. This map was so good because you were able to get very overpowered different types of bow and arrows which would help with the easter egg and kill the zombies faster in the higher rounds.

Overview
Call of Duty Black Ops 3 is the 3rd game made of the call of black ops series. This game has three different modes: campaign, multiplayer and zombies. They have a campaign mode where you can play the story of the game by yourself or even invite your friends to play with you as well. They also have a multiplayer mode which consists of a lot of different modes that you can play some of which are team core or hardcore. Core is when you play a gamemode and it takes multiple bullets to eliminate someone and you have a mini map to help guide you. In hardcore it only takes one to two shots to kill you and you do not get a minimap unless a UAV is used by someone on your team or yourself. In these modes there are the actual playlist of plethora game modes which include team deathmatch, search and destroy, kill confirmed, domination, hardpoint, capture the flag, etc… The other mode that is in this game is called zombies which consists of a lot of different maps that you can play where you will kill zombies and do easter eggs.
Issues
The main issue that consisted in Call of Duty Black Ops 3 is the campaign mode. This mode was very dull and boring to play. The story was very bland and did not have any excitement towards it. It was very sad to see where you had to complete this boring campaign to unlock the Nightmares mode in the game which was a new and better storyline in the game which had zombies in it. Lastly, the second biggest issue is the lag that occurred a lot in the online multiplayer mode. This lag caused the game to crash a lot and gave many error codes.

Strategy
The narrative designers can make better improvements to the story by just making it more enjoyable and entertaining. Maybe they should get younger audiences’ opinions on what their next story should be about so it would be more entertaining to the majority of the audience. Another strategy is to make it so we are not forced to play the campaign to unlock one of the best, most entertaining modes in the game. I understand they want us to play the game and do not want to give everything to us but that is a game mode and I feel like we should already have that unlocked from the beginning. Lastly, simply just improve the servers. Improving the servers would cause players to have less lag and error codes given to them.

Encouragement
Call of Duty Black Ops 3 is a very good game and I actually had a great time playing this game. It was very different from the other traditional black ops games so it took time to get used to but it was still a fun time. There are things that need to be improved in the game such as the servers and the campaign. These things have shown to be improved in the latest black ops games. I hope that they continue to perfect these issues and give us the best product they can.
