Set in a dystopian 2065, where enhanced "supersoldiers" wage a covert war that also involves robotic combatants, Treyarch's third Black Ops release is a direct sequel to 2012's Call of Duty: Black Ops II, which, like last year's most recent CoD release Advanced Warfare (from a different developer), scored in the low 80s—definitely not bad, but far from the franchise's peaks last decade. Is it possible for a franchise that refuses to take a year off to innovate after so many releases? Early buzz suggests the answer to that question is "no," though Black Ops III is not without its new features. Infinite sprinting, wall running, player specialization (in multiplayer), and an attempt to craft a much deeper story in the campaign are just some of the new (to the franchise) features available. Co-op mode allows up to four players online (or two players locally via splitscreen), while one of two zombie modes stars Jeff Goldblum, Heather Graham, Neal McDonough, Ron Perlman, and Robert Picardo. Elsewhere in the game, you'll also encounter NFL star Marshawn Lynch, who presumably shows up only so he won't get fined.
