![The Mind-Bending Story of Black Ops 3 [2025 - 2070]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/yNbA4OCWuDk/mqdefault.jpg)
Black Ops 3 had to be my final video of 2022, this is the most passion, love and care, Ive poured into a video in my 8 years on UA-cam. Thanks for an awesome year, and this just a taste of what to expect in 2023. Lets do this
You and so many of the other zombies personalities really went off with this game and it shows that Black Ops 3 is still the raining champ of zombies for content, it might not be the most nostalgic (BO2) but it still continues to bring the best moments the most fun🙏
great stuff ch0p, hope the LA trip went well and MAYBE some boogie boys content 👀
A perfect video to end the year, great creator with a great video on a great game? bro clutching up to end 2022.
Black Ops Cold War is releasing worldwide tonight. But before we can jump into the Easter egg hunt tomorrow, I owe you all an explanation addressing a story that's circulating surrounding me. A
few weeks ago I uploaded a UA-cam video explaining the black ops storyline, when researching for this video I came across a smaller youtuber called suggestive gaming, who created a very similar storyline idea and I thought it was brilliant, he explained the games really well and I really enjoyed his video style. The relevance of this is I used his script and very similar visuals in my video when explaining call of duty world at war, Black Ops 1, and Black Ops 3. These explanations were copied word for word from his video and whilst I did credit him in the description, this is nowhere near enough to justify the blanton plagiarism since I was not given permission to use his script or to use his visual style. There is no excuse for this behavior and I'm deeply regretting ever considering what I did, with the platform that I have I should be setting an example for smaller creators to follow and this is not the example to set whatsoever. I've already apologized to him privately and publicly on Twitter but I know it is not enough without addressing it on the platform that the issue first began from, my apology did not explain what I did nor address what I'm going to do to rectify it. I want to say to suggestive gaming and to everyone watching who feels let down by my actions, I'm truly sorry. Knowing I've disappointed so many of you brings me a great deal of regret. Furthermore I want to extend this apology to anyone who feels I've over stepped the mark and used their content in a plagiaristic manner or without permission over the years, this has truly served as a moment for reconsideration, over the last 24 hours I've been reflecting on what has happened and I really want to try rectifying my wrong doings and going forward on improving so that this never happens again. I offered to give suggestive gaming all the ad revenue that the video made, but he declined. As a starting point to try and apologize for everyone that's been affected, I'm going to donate the entire videos ad revenue which is roughly around 400 dollars to a charity called special affect. Furthermore I'm donating a further 600 dollars to special affect. On behalf of all the content creators in the past who I've upset by posting videos that could be considered plagiarizing their ideas. Going forward I promise to do better I've severely let you all and myself down and I do not blame you if you do not want to support my content anymore. I've been as open and honest about the situation as possible to you all and opening up about it on UA-cam rather then explaining it on social media, and I can only hope that you can accept my apology in time. If you do want to go and check suggestive gaming's original video, I've got it linked in this videos description. Everyone makes mistakes, and we are all human at the end of the day. Thank you for watching.
I love this game to death, and im glad to see you share the same thoughts. As ive watched your videos i feel like you really do think almost the same way i do about these games. Thanks for giving this one the love it deserves
It was my first Cod. I was 25 and just got off of heroin. I needed something to keep busy with so I bought a PS4 and this game. I was *terrible* at first. Like going 4 in 40 bad. I grinded that game for four years and by the end I was able to get nuclear medals. It’s so special to me and it will never be replaced in my heart.
congrats on your recovery bro
@@lawliet3432 thanks man. Still going strong 💪🏻
Idk where I’d be without BO3, as funny as that is to say.
Congratulations on getting clean bro. Zombies in this game helped me when I lost my mother. Shit kept me straight
@@Bakunawa661 seriously bo3 zombies of all things? Strange but hey if it helped you that's all that matters :)
@@Funnylittleman you realise bo3 is just a game right? The choice to recovery was all you.. So congrats on your recovery :)
BO3’s multiplayer menu theme is very underrated. It captures the futuristic vibe while simultaneously being both chill and energetic. It’s a really unique feel and I don’t think any of the follow games have recreated it.
The menu's in general of the games around that time before and just a little after BO3 were still solid. It was a game like BO4 and onward where it started to completely drop off. Cold War was probably the last good menu we had but that was only because of the music. I despise the endless walking they did it was so not cool.
But you are correct!
The track is called “Ignition” and it’s a perfectly chill song I can play on Spotify while doing something else.
@@OrionInSpace I actually quite liked bo4s menu, I thought it was simple and brought a new aesthetic, I mean it made sense it was not futuristic yet since the story takes place before bo3.
@@Positive11929 I actually agree with you, that was one of the best parts of the game. That menu and its music and imagery was solid. The rest of the game is questionable but I agree.

I'm glad I was able to experience games like BO3 in their prime. It truly was a once in a lifetime experience and I'd play this game for the first time all over again.
it also feels like youtube was in its best time, so many iconic channels at their peak
It was a truly magical time
Not aure why everyone loves these "older" shitty cods now, it was ass, still is ass, it had a decemt zombies but its what ruined zombies as a whole, the campaign was an absolute snooze fest and i can usually finish the campaigns since they are short, the myltiplayer felt weird but after advanced warfare it felt unccesary, advanced warfare was actually good, it had a decent campaign and the exo suits worked well for their first time and it felt unique not to mention the maps that would change dynamically and take you to a new zone with cool tsunamis and shit, black ops 3 was just anither future game with old cod style with weird shit
Same bro. My opinion the last great cod
@n0lat bo3 had complete perfection jetpack movement instead of dashes forward backwards so on. The campaign was dogshit so true. But the zombies is legit one of the best in the franchise, with b01 being the closest thing to it, maybe even better. Idk how u can just be a hypocrite and say us people like the old shitty cod games when one of your favorites is advanced warfare. Cmon, now that just doesn't make sense.
BO3 is still probably the most time I have ever spent playing Call of Duty and I started playing when Black Ops was released. Man, just a beautiful time to be alive. I was 13 going on 14, 8th grade going into the 9th grade. Countless hours on multiplayer with the jumping suits, sweating with the vmp, countless hours playing Shadows of Evil, Der Eisendrache, the throwback maps, just everything.
This was a time where there was never a shortage of content and the community was completely invested into the game unlike today.
yeah the time you could put into this game was endless. Probably have 10x the time there of all other cods combined. Bought a few but mostly was a waste of money considering the time I put in.
My last call of duty game. Just hit master prestige a week ago. Even though the game is slowly dying I’m still here. I’ll never leave. This game was the end of an era
my last cod game as well. None of the newer games really excited me like bo3 did. Wish I could get that feeling again lol. Not sure how to describe it but Infinite Warfare felt like a major vibe shift in the wrong direction and turned me off from cod.
@@Hunter-uz9jw lol
Infinite Warfare is an improved Black Ops 3 in every single department
@Jet the Judge there was barely anything fun about infinite warfare imo. It truly was one of the cod installments in the series. Mw2 2022 is putting cod back on the map
@@r011ing_thunder6 MW2 isn't very good, especially compared to Infinite Warfare. It's not even close when comparing the quality of their content, not to mention the superior connection system and hit detection present in Infinite Warfare that modern games fail to surpass.
Slowly? I can't find a free for all match at all.
BO3 is one of my favorite games ever, so much fun I had on this game and so much memories made. There was so much to do, if it was grinding camo’s, grinding prestiges, grinding challenges, or grinding the many challenges or whatever, it was such a fun game and a much simpler time in life.
BO3 was great. I remember spending $3,000 for supply drops and still not getting the guns I wanted. Good memories.

@@rayon3793 and this is why I would never gamble on a game ahaha
@@rayon3793 Literally.
Gorod Krovi was a weird map for me personally. I'm a huge history nerd, so I got really excited when I heard the 3rd DLC map would be set during the pivotal Battle of Stalingrad in WWII. Plus, my family comes from Belarus and Russia. My great-grandfather was a sergeant in the Red Army and actually fought in Stalingrad.
And then I load up the map for the first time and see robots fighting dragons.
lmfaoo this comment took a turn
play cod world at war that game that game has the stalingrad battle between the russians and germans
old but gold💯
bo3 zombies focuses on its own story instead with weird time travel stuff and chthulu looking creatures
this is why i prefer bo2 none of that weird shit
You telling me that robots didn’t fight dragons in ww2?
I hope your grandfather suffered the fate he deserved, if he volunteered in the R(apist)ed army
This was my first CoD that i bought directly at launch, and boy...was i lucky to have experienced this game in all its glory, at a point in my live where i had nothing else to worry about and all the time it needed to enjoy this game
truely grateful for that
Literally same and it’s the most fun game I’ve ever had
Bo3 was such a memorable game. The zombies was excellent, did jet packs right, and had such great features that built a great community
It had the best supply drops too.
@@rayon3793no it didn’t lol mwr, ww2 and post overhaul bo4 were way better
Advanced warfare did jet packs 10x better
@@rayon3793bo4 without a doubt.
@@johanngoethe8428 For me Advanced Warfare’s jet packs where a little too powerful. There was people jumping all lover the map and it took time to master. Unlike Bo3 where everything felt a little more ground. Just me though
I never got a ps3 until like 2012, so I was never able to experience a "You had to be there" cod like MW2 or BO1, but I honestly believe BO3 deserves to be deemed a "You you had to be there" cod, and I'm so glad to have experienced it
That's the best way to explain this game. BO3 in it's prime was so much damn fun
Same. I didn't like the multiplayer but the zombies was my first experience in the games prime. The hype I had for that game was ridiculous
I was there for those cods and I prefer BO3. Best cod
I prefer Black Ops 2 but Black Ops 3 is by far the best cod ever made since 2013. Not even close.
@@scvboy1cold war is the only one that comes somewhat close
As far as the story is concerned, I think the big thing is that the real issue the entire time was DNI. "Corvus" isnt actually an AI boogeyman at all, but the oversight that the technology was meant to achieve personified. The player dying on the table happened because during the DNI integration process that was supposed to attach to your brain, it attached your brain to Taylors DNI. The enitre campaign is the player living through a loose recollection of Taylors memories, but disjointed and messed up because its being played back through your brain like actual memories. Taylors entire team was never met by the player, besides Hendricks and Taylor himself, they have fill-ins instead. Even Kane, whos name was only mentioned. Missions are played out of order, you experince frequent hallucinations. The final mission that you play in the game is the way it is, because your brain is experiencing a complete and utter breakdown of all of its faculties, right before you hit that final moment of sudden clarity, much like dementia patients get shortly before death. The DNI purge at the end of the game is real, because its Taylor and the doctors fnally realizing whats happening, and as a last ditch effort to save you and Taylor, Taylors DNI is purged. Its difficult to gather if the DNI purge causes you to realize whats happened, or completely become Taylor. Either way, once that purge hits 100%, the game ends, and you die.
Story is ass I’m not reading this
Holy shit this story is complicated. So you basically never left the operating table... But if the first mission is the final one then what is hendrick doing there since Taylor killed him
@@zaer-ezart Thats a bit tricky. The game doesnt do a very good job of explaining this, but what seems to be going on is the rooftop mission in the Campaign where "Taylor" dies to "Hendricks" is the very last mission of Taylors memories chronologically, as thats when the final member of the real Taylors team was killed by the real Hendricks. Both Hendricks and Taylor are the only survivors of the original team, which is why theyre both alive during the first mission, the mission you as the player actually meet them. Everything that happens after that chronologically deviates from Taylors memories. While its never made really clear, there are two prevailing theories. One is that there never was an attack on Zurich afterwards, which means that the death of Hendricks and Kane likely doesnt happen at all, and everything that happens in the Zurich Mission is completely simulated before the DNI purge that erases you at the end of the game. Two, is that Zurich does happen directly after the first mission, and that while youve been going through the memories of Taylors missions, youve been puppeting his body around from inside his DNI. This would mean Hendricks and Kanes deaths do happen, and that you esentially kill yourself with the DNI purge, returning Taylors body to his control at the end of the game.
I see the BO3 story as the superposition of two timelines. The first is the Manhunt of Dylan Stone and the rogue team PHI, and the other is the DNI infection. While the DNI infection plot it’s related to both timelines, the missions on this timeline were the first two and the last one. All the plot of the Manhunt of Dylan Stone it's quite literal what you see while playing those missions but the motives were different. They didn’t go rogue because a DNI infection, it’s because they saw the illegal experiments of Coalescence Corporation that they wanted to let the people know the truth. They were called to Black Station because the CIA wanted to kill them in order to keep their secrets buried but Stone and the others discovered the plan and kill their executioners. Now, Hendricks and Taylor were on a mission to stop them. Hendricks is irritated as the plot develops not because the infection. It’s because he wasn’t feeling right about killing their former friends, so he was stressed as fuck (I think Hendricks is more human when you see it like this). While playing the missions Demon Within and the mission of the refinery, Hall and Kane refer to you as Taylor, foreshadowing the ending. This doesn’t seem that clear because the player answers on both occasions that he will stop Taylor. One year later, starts the DNI infection plot. As you know, you got killed in the second mission after your injuries on the first mission. The agony of the players created Corvus and infected you and the new Taylor team while they were in your DNI. Corvus will create a simulation to get the answers about the reasons of the Coalescence Projects. During the simulation, the consciousness of the player merged with Taylor and the player believe Hall, Diaz and the others were the bad guys. Every time the story changes the location to Singapur, Cairo and Zurich, the player gets disoriented. That it’s seen when Hendricks says to us: Are you still with us? or the first time you enter the safehouse when the player says: Where are we again? After, killing all of Taylor’s team (because yes, Hall, Diaz and Maretti actually die because they were considered hostile by the player), Hendricks wants to get revenge on Coalescence because it was their fault that they were tasked to kill Stone and the others and now, another time, caused a DNI infection that made Taylor become crazy (controlled by the player to kill Diaz and the others). This is the final mission where you have to stop Hendricks. This mission wasn’t a simulation. You are playing as Taylor but the player's consciousness takes control over his DNI. That it’s seen in the very first cutscene makes you seem like you are disoriented. That’s why Kane said to you if you are still with her. Coming from the simulation, the player thinks he has to kill Hendricks because of the infection, but as I said, it was not because of that. If you think of it, it's kinda similar to the Reznov hallucination that Mason had. Once you killed Hendricks, Corvus will put you in another simulation to prevent you from killing for real because he needed you in order to get answers. The whole simulation it’s about clearing the infection. At the end you erase your consciousness from Taylor’s DNI and that's why he says Taylor at the end, because as I said, you were playing as him during the whole mission except from the simulation where Taylor was a bug caused by the merging of two consciousness in one DNI. I didn’t see anyone explaining the story like this but I think that this is what makes more sense. I didn’t comment on all the details due to the length of this.
To conclude. Try replaying it, while reading the data vault (which explains you more connections with the BO2 universe) where you can read about the factions, the explanation of the NRC - Cairo war motives and much more to get the full context of the setting. Try to do research on the intro logs. Then, once players understand the story as it meant to be played, make a good appreciation of the campaign before saying it’s trash because it was bad written when it was designed to do research by a whole community (that is even related to the fact that they made this campaign coop in order to make all players put the pieces together) For those who wanted them to continue Mason’s family, BO3 actually did it. If you enter in “Project Prometheus” and then in “Candidates” in the data vault, you will find the name of the four players. One of them is C.Mason. The individual letter it’s because you can customize your gender so it would make any sense to give a real name at all. How do I know it? Well, it’s because of the individual letter of the name, because there are four, and because it says two of them died and the other two were not considered to join the project because of their injuries (first mission). Also I don’t think Treyarch just put a Mason character for nothing. If they didn’t give you an actual name it’s because they focussed on questioning the future of humanity. It wasn’t about a soldier or war, it was about life supremacy over all the technology (fuck the last mission is called life). Of course, the coop had to do with this concept of not giving names. Also if you put the first letter of each protocols of the intro log (which can be seen without doing nothing) and put them in the order of the events, you get “We are Taylor” the same way you get “Reznov is dead” by doing the same thing in the BO1 campaign. As I see it, the story was very good, but Treyarch forgot they are making a Call of Duty and the players would not do what they were trying. So yes, it’s underrated and overhated as fuck. Even playing it without understanding the full context, at least you understand what is happening in every mission. The problem was that the last one requires you to put things in place but still that point the campaign is very understandable, at least for me anyways. The characters were kinda human. Stone team questioned their past actions once they discovered a project that caused the death of hundreds of thousand and try to reveal the truth, Hendricks questioning his mission because they were his friends, and the romance between Kane and Taylor it’s not the typical US vs Soviets (or russian) that COD usually does. Also if you think about, Taylor is a tragical character. He losts his two teams (Stone one, and Diaz one), his best friend Hendricks and the love of his life Kane. In what other COD campaign you feel like this?
It's crazy how smooth the gameplay was/is considering it added an entirely new movement mechanic. I still play it every now and again and other than the graphics (which aren't terrible) it honestly feels like a new game as far as performance goes. BUTTERY SMOOTH!
I'm impressed you find the gameplay smooth. It's incredibly clunky, and the engine really has shown its age. The advanced movement feels like an afterthought in how it performs, and I can't play the game anymore with how bad it feels to play. The gunplay is fine, outside of the firing audio. Moving in the game just feels like wading through water
@@fatefulwaffle sounds like a skill issue
Titanfall did it first. That is the better game.
BO3 shits on titanfall and BO3 was just part of an annual game release@@AHess007

BO3 was my first call of duty when I first got my PS4 in 2015. Played tf outta that game, got to level 1,000 & got all gold armor as well as dark matter. Miss this game in its prime 😢
Black Ops III Zombies is a special one for me as it kick started my Twitch channel and met a ton of wonderful people who I still talk to to this day. It really changed the way I stream. When doing the Easter Eggs, teaching and soloing them, it really brought quite an audience. I miss those days.
Black Ops 3 was the last true COD game I played that involved playing with my friends and other people... I will miss those days for sure. Do you still stream?
@@OrionInSpace I'm currently not streaming. I'm revamping the channel so I'll be returning in a couple of weeks. I was streaming BOIII on PC but there were a lot of security issues with the game so unfortunately I had to stop playing it. I love BOIII Zombies but shame people can mess around on PC. I'll be on MW2 and Nintendo related games for sure :)
@@Jinukov ya I've heard BO3 on PC is a pain in the ass and needs fixing. But hey that's dope. I was going to ask if you wanted to collaborate, I may not stream but I do have my UA-cam.
@@OrionInSpace Yeah man, I had to literally get a new router cuz there are programs on BO3 that actually find your location and IP Address. I'd get so frustrated during my streams because they'd interrupt Easter Egg attempts and all that and tell. As for collaborating, what do you mean? Do what exactly?
@@Jinukov ya no I heard about all of that. So unfortunate cause now Chopper and Lex and all of them can't play anymore. So depressing. In terms of collaborating I meant in the sense of we'd make content together through your stream and my channel by playing together. That make more sense?
This game was perfection to me, peak CoD. I hit level 1000 in MP, 100 percented all challenges, did the zombies super EE and hit a good amount of round 100’s. This game was probably the best CoD experience I ever had, and I haven’t bought any CoD’s after this aside from MW 2019. It’s a shame this franchise is going down the drain
The thing with nightmares is that it was just something extra to play.
I get a lot of companies throw things in just to make the game seem more full, but the thing is, Nightmares is never in any promotional materials or box arts. It’s just a surprise for people who buy it to have extra to play
Been waiting for this one. To call bo3 special would be an understatement. Back when when just playing the game was fun regardless of if there was any new content. There won't ever be another cod like this one
This game had the one thing that all modern COD games (the last 4 specifically) don't have. Community and social activities. Like you said it was a fun game to play regardless if no new content was out yet. That's because a game like this gave the community the tools to do things on our own. The paintjob, emblem editor, theater mode, PC mods for zombies overall, free run mode as a fun aspect to the movement of the game, etc etc etc. This gave players something to work for when not playing the game or needing to release stress off a rough day of playing.
At this same time, this game still followed the same formulas of old that made COD games fun even if something like the movement was completely changed. The perk system wasn't changed, spectator view, weapon balancing was good, maps were fun as hell.
What more can I say?
That’s why bo3 is good tho custom zombie maps what regardless.
@@OrionInSpace also call of the dead remake is so much better in bo3 zombies :)
Bo3 is the best no matter :)
The best part is bo3 zombies kept the perk system:)
BO3 is the best slot machine I ever played. Truly a masterpiece.
😂😂😂
it’s so overrated it’s crazy, i got my first supply drop weapon at prestige master level 70 or 80. No kidding, the rng in those loot boxes were such a scam
It's still a great cod game.
@@aidan46294 it also takes your money lol
@X3 ur reply was so dumb that there's no point trying to tell you why u sound stupid by making that comment
0:00 “call of duty: black ops 3 is one of the most special video games ever created” I did a double take and replayed the first couple seconds of this video like ten times. I am genuinely in awe of how someone can play this game and hold that opinion.
If he stated it as an opinion it would be ok i guess but he doesn't
Because it's factual information
I got into COD rather late into it's popularity, so I had never invested tons of time into games like mw2 or bo2, though I did play them. Bo3 was the time I was really getting into COD, which is why this game will always hold a special place in my heart. You truly just had to be there and experience everything this game brought to the table and did for the COD community. Yes, the campaign was a mess in my opinion, but the multiplayer and zombies were genuine masterpieces. Playing this game was truly a once in a lifetime experience which I don't think will ever be topped by any games in the future.
Just installed it again 2 days ago after 5 years and the nostalgia is so strong it hurts
I truly feel bad for anyone who didn't experience this game in it's prime
You’re gonna run into a lot of invisible hackers, unfortunately
@@aidan46294 haven't encountered hackers yet (~10-15 matches)
Hope it stays that way🤞🏼
I redownload it every now and then just to do the origins and Zet subou easter eggs
All CoD games are garbage - just factory churned products that more focus and attention by the board room execs rather than the devs. Just another generic multiplayer military shooter that removed the single player component.
Trendy modern gamers will eat up and trendy piece of shit that gets tossed at them and call it amazing.
@@dani_i8942 and what games do you play may I ask?
This was the only BO game that I played the Realism mode in the campaign with a friend, playing tactically and moving slowly. Truly was an amazing experience.
I recently beat it in realistic and God damn it's hard
Like halo legendary hard
@sethisevilone02 i started it on realistic and was confused why I was dying so fast then realized it LITERALLY only takes one bullet to kill me 😂
100% my favorite CoD game. I remember grinding the nuketown 24/7 playlist with my friend Kumar trying to get dark matter(we never did). We cheesed so hard we figured out a way to get in the same game on opposite teams and boosted for headshots. Taking power naps at 2am when we had to wakeup for school at 6. Showing eachother the somhs we listened to while playing. I still remember how hilarious it was when Kumar would rage, hed just scream “TREYARCH” in our skype calls with our whole friend group.
I am so glad I'm not the one who thought this game was more than it was originally, this was the first game I spent my time the most out of any Call of Duty and enjoy every last bit of it till the last dlc. Truly a game that can't be topped on hype and content alone personally.
I still remember the first teaser trailer we got for this game called “Ember” had such a cool and interesting concept that I wished the campaign explored more of instead of the confusing bloated mess we ended up getting.
To speak on that teaser too, that's the kind of marketing I wish COD would put more money into. Something that will make you intrigued and interested. Yes you are right the campaign even after this trailer was one of the 3 worst ever in the franchise but the trailer itself was what was good.
Nowadays with trailers we get a damn useless "Squad Up" trailer with people and celebrities just yelling the phrases and nothing more.
@@OrionInSpace not that there’s anything wrong with the MW squad characters like Captain Price and Ghost. They’re all great but I still prefer when CoD takes a more deeper and psychological approach to their campaigns. That’s why BO1’s campaign is still my favorite of the entire CoD franchise.
@@XxHUNT3RN4T0RxX I mean ya Treyarch is known for doing that, Infinity Ward is more known for the gritty, real and just more military esk type stuff
@@XxHUNT3RN4T0RxX You remember the old MW2 trailers where people would talk about the game as if it was people having sex? Lmao. I think there were multiple people used for it but I remember some old man saying it the most
@@OrionInSpacegotta say I'm sad that you see it that way. I don't know why but I've played bo2s campaign bo3 MW2 mw3 and all of the latest 4. I have to say bo3 behind MW2 and bo2 is my favourite campaign from the pure story. I just got so deep in it and it was catching me so damn hard. I don't know why but me as a 19 years old loved bo3 for it's campaign first and mp second (when zombies chronicles released zombies 1 mp3 campaign 3)
The best part about the Giant is that it perfectly immolates the vibe and aesthetic of Blundell’s style of zombies. It’s the exact same map Zelinksi directed back in WaW, but everything from the sound effects, music, background and characters differentiate the two. Even the egg song “Beauty of Annihilation” is remixed into a more electronic and choir variation compared to the Metal version.
Black Ops 3 is the only Call of Duty game that I wish that they had delayed by, like, a year or 2 so that they could actually finish and round out every single gameplay feature.
Some things you missed in the story is that Taylor tried to save you, by hookin his DNI with yours that’s why we get the train go boom sequence and then after that the simulation vanishes. Because we died and now we’re living through Taylor’s memories with the DNI trying to comfort us in our death
Fire thumbnail.
Lex i love youuuuuu😍😍😍😍
It’s honestly amazing how generous this cod was with the sheer amount of fucking content. The art was also spectacular
I understood nothing of the campaign for almost a whole ass decade, multiple times playing it. You explained it and made me understand it in just under a half hour and I lowkey have a new appreciation for it.
The scorestreaks in BO3 was top notch. My favorite main combo was UAV, Wraith and RAPs. Saving the wraith til I got the RAPs then calling both in for pure carnage.
I would always call them in throughout the game in order to maximize kill efficiency
When BO3 launched the scorestreaks actually sucked and required multiple patches and updates. Same can be said about the weapons where Treyarch was always doing multiple changes to weapons.
Bo2 better scorestreaks
BO1 streaks >
I have the fondest memories from Black Ops 3. Grinding for dark matter, hero skins, zombies was amazing, and multiplayer was addictingly fun. All the maps were great, the movement was so fluid (if that makes sense), specialists was so unique at the time, and all the weapons were useful. My homies and I were in 8th grade going into freshman year, we started a cod clan and made youtube videos. We’re all graduated highschool and 21 now and we still talk about those days.
One of my fondest memories from Black Ops 3 was meeting a bunch strangers on multiplayer who happened to be from the country as i was. We then had the idea to play a few matches and soon our Xbox chat was full of people. At the end we had 16-ish players and so we decided to go mess around in a private match. We then spent next few hours playing Mike Myers and various other modes and just having a blast. Really miss the days of Black Ops 3, truly a game for the ages.
Everything you said about B03 in the beginning is how I feel about B02 haha. Such a nostalgic ride. Personally I liked B04 more than B03 because I enjoy more boots-on-the-ground combat and the specialist system changes, but I definitely have plenty of memories in B03 that I will never forget.
Same, for me BO3 is only nostalgic for its Goated Zombies
I just discovered your channel yesterday & you put this out! Black Ops 3 was the first COD where I played more than just the campaign, so I do have some nostalgia for this game (even if I put more time into stuff like Infinite Warfare & Modern Warfare (2019)).
The campaign for BO3 had a lot of highs imo. The forest mission had a lot of great imagery and the zombies portion was incredible! The zombies mode was absolutely goated as we all know, and I will say I’m surprised you didn’t give a shout out to customs being part of the game which helped boost the community around the game. Amazing video per usual ❤️
I remember this game differently than a lot of people it seems. I first started COD in 2004 and played every one of them since. This game was bashed by a lot of people when it came out, especially for continuing the wall runs. I cannot speak for zombies since I quit playing since BO2. However, I remember when BO4 was announced live in front of an audience that roared in cheers when they announced no wall runs. I am aware AW came out before and maybe people were tired of it, but it seemed a lot of people wanted COD to return to it's roots. I also think this game was a first COD for a lot of people and maybe that had something to do with it. Anyways, people are entitled to like whatever game they want and I am glad for anyone who does. I will praise them for trying something different and this game is definitely unique.
AW didn't have wall running. It did have advanced movement. Opinion before BO3's release was split on another futuristic advanced movement game. Everyone who played BO3 no longer had issue because it was, and still is, the most balanced COD multiplayer to date. It had the most DLC sales of any game for 2015, 16 and 17 as well. You can't do that without being overwhelmingly dedicated and large playerbase. I've been playing COD since 05 or 06, COD2, and playing video games and shooters a hell of a lot longer than that. BO3 earned it's reputation and fandom on the merits of gameplay alone. To this day it's still the best, most balanced and fair COD in tons of aspects. No game in the series has had less camping, due in part because of the maps and the advanced movement, snipers didn't have aim assist, the most balanced perks, the best perk system (Pick 10), balanced weapon attachments, variety in meta, balanced variety of guns, no one hit kill melee, and no SBMM BS to ruin the games. If it wasn't for a couple specialist abilities it's damn near perfect gameplay at what it does.
People were excited for AW at first because it broke up the monotony of BOTG. They should have never made 3 advanced movement games in a row. That's what actually killed it; they traded one monotonous design for another. AW should have swapped with Ghosts and WW2 should have been after BO3, and IW should have been doing whatever Treyarch was not going to do after BO3, because BO4 sounded like it was originally going to have jetpacks as well. Now we're stuck playing Modern Camper for now til eternity and now the only thing people play is the not-a-battle-royale mode.
This is the first video to explain the bo3 campaign and have me understand it. It also had different details, this is really interesting(the replaying the game and seeing things you gave one glance more realized)
Thanks Ch0p for leaving us with this video as the last of the year
I was 10 when bo3 came out. Despite this, I got the game for my 11th birthday and played the hell out of it with all my friends. I remember being wicked good at zombies because I had been playing since bo1. I still have bo3 on my ps5 today and I haven’t deleted the game since I got it. Zombies is still my favorite video game mode ever. I’m 17 now and will be 18 soon. Bo3 will always hold such a special place in my heart.
Same
@@shonthacreator6146 Christ 10? I was 22.
Hey G, I’m also 17 and this was my first call of duty
why this one out of 22 games in a franchise is really special LOL
Yo this is actually one of my favorite videos ever, great job Chopper. Fr the best COD ever too, had some amazing memories on this game.
Me and my brother were 9 when cod waw released and we were pretty big fans of zombies and video games in general so that easily became one of our favorite games. We played every zombies mode including mw3’s survival mode, and ghosts’ extinction. When we were about freshmen we visited our dad for holiday break, there our dad gave us an xbox one with a copy of bo3. I was instantly hooked mainly on zombies, but even the multiplayer was the first one i got really into by that point me, my bro, and our friends were fairly knowledgeable of the lore and even listened to the soundtrack sometimes. Things are certainly better as a kid but i have many good memories about that game, it was fun while it lasted. Shoutout to my twin bro for helping grind for dark matter
I remember being pumped out of my mind when I heard this game was coming out. I don't ever remember being that excited for a COD game. I was really excited for last year's MW2 as well, but the feelings weren't the same, and probably never will be again.
So much love for this game, it put me in another world for sure.. met so many people through game chat and the sniping community ill never forget what this game opened up for me outta nowhere
This was one of my first CODS and hands down I still get nostalgic for it. It may not have been one of the greats but at least it went fully in on that whole futuristic vibe. Many fond memories of me and my friend just dueling on Aquarium and Infection (we liked the crazy map plus the underwater ambushes we could pull off).
I appreciate both you and this channel
Loving this series and can’t wait to see what you do next year. Much love and great work as always ❤
i didn’t mind de, except for the bows. I actually loved zetsubou, there were issues like challenges but i love the wonder weapon and setting
Lots of people hate the easter egg but I loved it. Big fan of the long quest-style maps like origins and zns
The crazy thing about bo3 is the campaign was it’s weak point, but even after playing it, it wasn’t actually that bad tbf, I quite enjoyed it
I still kinda wished that it tied back to the story of bo1-2 more
I was going thru chemo after my Dr found a baseball sized tumor in my colon and had my colon removed when I first played this.
This and titanfall helped me get thru so much. Thank you!!🙏
Yo I needed an hour and 26 minutes and you delivered exactly that, thank you my brother 🙌🏽✊🏽❤
Man, I never played zombies bo3 until I bought the bo3 deluxe pack last year. In that year, I've put nearly 300 hours into zombies alone, and its just sad that I never got to play it with other people while it was popular, because those 300 hours were all pretty much solo
There are many people who still love zombies. Find them.
But yeah back then it was truly awesome, there were always friends online who were playing it. You could just write into PlayStation communities (Why is this gone?!?! 😭) and have a squad for easter eggs few minutes later.
I remember hitting prestige master and getting all the hero gear for all the specialists I love this game just as much as black ops 2 , I’ll never forget this game❤️
Man they put so much thought and love into the campaign /offline content. Tons of accessible lore and content.
Let’s go! Love these long retrospectives keep them goong
Black ops 3 was definitely the game where I was at my peak.. that personal decorator achievement (still gives me PTSD idk how I didn't break a controller) dominating MP games going 50+ kills easily while going for dark matter. And hitting round 255 for the first time
Watched you call of duty 4 vid and am now watching this, great breakdowns. I just subbed bro
I master prestiged 3x, fresh start 2x, dark matter 2x, gold on all operators, master prestige zombies, & done every Easter egg.
My favorite game of all time w some of the best memories too.
Great video, I just bought the $20 digital version & redownloaded just cuz it’s such a great game.
Not just the game but the community is what made it so special. No hate, no toxicity, just a bunch of people coming together for something they loved.
lol not sure what game you played but I was always being yelled at by toxic players
@@angryoldcanadian3905 the only people that got yelled at were the ones that were down 4 times per round or didn’t go with the map strat. Now if you’re talking multiplayer then your in the wrong thread.
@@CrackSparrowGaming yeah was about to say zombies is what really made the community so strong.
Your content is great thanks for making it
i’ll always hold bo3 close to my heart. i was 13 when it came out and when i got it i had purchased my ps4 as well. i didn’t have ps+ for the first few weeks of owning a ps4 so really all i could do was play the bo3 campaign. i kid you not i played the entire campaign on realistic…..twice. and the whole thing felt like a weird dream looking back because i tried understanding the story but had no time to care since the difficulty i was playing on was so damn confusing. however once we get to multiplayer it was simply my favorite ever. reached lvl 1000, have dark matter, all hero armor and on top of all of this i 100% completed all multiplayer calling cards. truly a masterpiece
tbh, my favourite cod looking back on it.
I had moved away from hometown when I was a young teenager but kept in contact with my old friends by playing this game with them. the first cod that I took seriously, the first cod that got me into competitive and the only cod I've been a prestige master on. I loved both the multiplayer (especially ranked and zombies. Was incredible coming home from high school and hopping online and playing with my friends for hours and hours. Connected me with my old friends from home constantly but also meant that my new friends were also playing with my old friends and so we all got to know each other through playing all the time.
The friend I spent the most time with online was my childhood friend and we'd play a lot of competitive together. Sadly last year he took his life and it really had an impact on me, not touching my console for months and not buying cod. We truly did have some great memories on this game and I will forever be grateful for it.
This game will always have a place in my heart deffo one of my top 3 favorite game of all time
Yeah
This video couldnt have dropped at a better time. My favorite series on youtube. Keep up the great work Chopper!
Brilliant video mate. bO3 is my favourite game of all time. Legendary. Multiplayer was incredible, and zombies. wow. magical. Thank you Jason Blundell
I remember playing the campaign for this game and immediately shutting my console off and never touching the campaign again when I heard the dialogue, "train go boom"
perhaps I should give it another go
Thanks for all the amazing content this year Chop! ❤️
I agree 100% I think blops 3 is probably the best cod with blops 2 right behind it. I always think blops 3 is underrated because it was a jetpack game. But all round it had the complete package.
Black ops 3 was my first cod game that I really took seriously. I am a huge zombies fan so it's obviously my fav cod game but man the multiplayer was so addicting. I remember hopping on at like 2 AM with the boys trying to hit locus trickshots and grinding camos. I have nothing but love for this game and it will forever be one of my all time favs :) ♥️
I am loving your reviews, especially of the 2013-2016 games, these take me right back to those days (my high school years) and make me long for those times gaming with my friends and drinking Game Fuel Mountain Dew. The advanced movement era wasn't well-loved at the time but there's something about going back with rose-tinted glasses...
I'm new here, but if you haven't already, I'd love to see you do a video on the awful 360 version of this game!
Best multiplayer ever. Best maps, best guns, was just the best.
Dingo, Drakon & Brecci. All packed.
Worst story though
I still enjoy this game today playing with friends . I recently installed it a month and a half ago, and I have been playing it a lot recently. Specifically the Zombies. But also some multiplayer too
I really loved the trailer for B03 especially the music Rolling Stones paint it black, I remember always going to the dlcs in B02 just to hear it.
"Shadows can be enjoyed as a casual map" No. No it cannot.
You forgot to mention Zombies Mod Tools. It brought about custom community maps that brought the community even closer. It continued to make Black Ops 3 Zombies relevant several years after launch!
Wow absolutely amazing video don’t know how I haven’t found you until now. Subbed!
Black ops 3 was the first cod i ever got into multiplayer with my friends and ill never forget the farm map us doing sniper only rounds putting our stixk sensitivity to max and trying to headshot each other
Great times
You forgot to talk about the soundtracks in the game and the ambience. The definition of perfection
The last good cod to have a solid multiplayer, campaign and zombies oh how we’ve fallen😢
Best Cod multiplayer ever.
Loved almost everything. Never spent extra money on the game but I liked the lootbag system. Gave you something to look for and none of the hidden guns were OP.
Loved the Specialists too. Winners circle was awesome.
Was in middle school when this game came out, finally convinced my parents to let me get a cod game, got bo3 and fell in love, started playing zombies and multiplayer with some guy in my debate class, through playing together he became my best friend and brother, so this game has such a huge impact on me
Bro you have done an incredible job with your analysis videos and I've learned so much I didn't know about the COD games thank you for making them. Great job
This was my very favorite call of duty, I loved the movement, the gun play, the operators weren't super op like bo4. What a stellar game. Does it still have much of a player base? I'd love to hop on
@@The_Hater_AKA_Truth_Teller what a bummer, hate when a small group of people ruin things
@@MrSuperflydude yeah i play on pc and ps4 and yes zm and mp have players
im crying rn bo3 made my childhood and this game was so magical for me, and im know ill never have this experience again, seeing how my life changed since i was 15/16 remenbering how i loved this game hits different
Some of the best memories I have are playing this game. Still hop on mp and zombies once a week just for the nostalgia
The campaign is probably the most insane thing I’ve seen in a first person shooter
Really well crafted video dude 10/10 loving this style, gets me hooked start to end
That part you said about the black ops one campaign just coming together was how I felt after I watched inception. It just makes sense.
I wasn’t even that young when I started getting into bo3 but it hits me so hard in the nostalgia feels. I’m emotionally connected to shadows of evil
In the minority, but BO3 was profoundly average to me. It didn't add anything particularly new, campaign was ehh, multiplayer was average, and zombies was the only saving grace because of Chronicles. Overall 6/10 for a Black Ops game.
Nah, alot of people also have that opinion.
I literally just started sweating bo3 again the last week
Sadly it’s unplayable with invisible cheaters
@@AidenHoultAllenyeah cheating on a 7 year old game is crazy
@@iiiiiiiiiilililli black ops 2 is like 13 years old and modders rule that
Black ops 3 was the last time I went for a midnight launch event to get my copy. Man I gonna miss those days when we really get hyped for the games .
I do say, the soundtrack is the best in the series.
I actually never played Black Ops III. From Advanced Warfare up until Modern Warfare 2019 I got turned off of CoD because of the futuristic settings with jetpacks and walljumps. So it's neat to see that Black Ops III was actually good for its time
I don't get why people would dislike the futuristic setting, wallruns and jetpacks unless they're like 50yo and can't process it. It fits so well for a game like cod.
Especially at that time back then there were good games like Battlefield that were more traditional.
Modern era, Sci fi era, History era they are all great it's nice to switch things up every once in a while
BO3 to this day is still a great and fun COD. It's just a shame you can't play without experiencing some hackers in game now. It was underrated for a couple years after release. So it's nice to see people finally giving it the respect it deserves. The campaign wasn't great bit multiplayer and Zombies carried.
Black ops3 zombies were so fun honestly. The Easter egg cutscenes were a fun challenge to experience with friends
I played this on release with my buddy. Didn’t have my own console so I would go to his house and play it as my parents thought it would be too violent. I was bad but it was one of my favorite gaming experiences ever. I thought the melee weapons were so cool in multiplayer and remember my friend getting the d13 sector and messing around with that.
Lets make this game great again. All streamers and influencers should start promoting it so it gains a larger playerbase again.
hackers killed it, no amount of publicity can fix its latent problems.
