In this single‑speaker commentary, the creator records their first 1–1.5 matches of Call of Duty: Black Ops 3, offering a rapid, informal review. They note that the thrust‑jump mechanic feels very different from the exo‑jumps of Advanced Warfare and that fall damage now exists, changing movement strategy. The graphics are praised as a significant step up from previous titles, with Treyarch’s visual work highlighted. Weapon handling observations include the use of a suppressor (which they feel does not noticeably reduce damage), noticeable recoil when taking fire, and the absence of aim‑assist, which they find initially frustrating but indicative of higher skill demand. The Specialist system, despite community chatter about being overpowered, is described as balanced and not OP in their limited experience. Overall, the narrator finds the game fun, the guns balanced, and the graphics impressive, but emphasizes that their conclusions are based on only a few matches and may evolve with more playtime.

What is going on guys? This is my first Black Ops 3 game. I got like in a game before, but it was like pretty much halfway over. And so yeah, here we go, first game on Black Ops 3. One thing I need to say is the jump thing, the thrust jump, is nothing like the exo jumps in Advanced Warfare. It's not annoying. And yeah, I thought I should go and get that out of the way. But I have no idea where we're going. That's a tent in a corner. That's pretty cool. I'm guessing that's referring to camping and corner and Yeah, we're gonna just throw a nade and see what happens. And I died from behind. I don't know what— yeah. Alright, we got that kill. I have a suppressor on this gun in case you're wondering. I like it. I like the suppressor. I don't feel like it took away that much damage from the gun. The graphics on this game are so good. Like, the graphics are actually insane compared to Advanced Warfare. Treyarch really outdid themselves with the graphics on this one. And look at that flank. Oh, okay, I should have killed him. Uh, my gun's red, what does that mean? Uh, I don't know what that meant. Maybe recon or something, someone targeted me, I don't know. Oh, get killed. All right, Specialist streak. I've used this once. Now everyone was complaining that Specialist is OP. I don't think it's OP. Uh, okay, I don't even know how to use this gun to be honest. I have no idea what I'm doing. Alright, that's not going like planned. Oh, fuck, over here. Alright, another thing about this game is you actually take fall damage. In Advanced Warfare, there's no such thing as fall damage. In this game, there is. Thought I'd let you guys know about that. Okay, it actually does make a difference because like you can rack up some serious fall damage. So that's just something to keep an eye out for, something I'm not really used to like I said. Oh, give me that kill. Oh, 2-piece! Wow, I thought I was actually gonna die. And then a Hellstorm killed me. That was super OP. All right, my gun's red again. Not quite sure what that means. Wow. Okay, so first thing I need to say is there's like, when you're getting shot at, your gun moves randomly, you know, like, um, react— uh, I don't know what it's called. Just, uh, yeah, the recoil or whatever when you're getting shot at, it's really annoying. And also there's no aim assist, so like you actually have to aim yourself. It doesn't snap onto the targets for you. That's also pretty annoying. I'm, you know, really used to aim assist, and yeah, that's not in this game. Give me that. But obviously with no aim assist, that's, you know, more skill. You actually have to aim yourself. The game's not aiming for you. I'm just not used to it. That's actually gonna take a while to get used to. Oh, get out, Blade! Oh, give me that! Oh, got a UAV! We're on a kill streak, boys! And the game ended. So, uh, just, you know, brief overview. The graphics are good. It seems fun. I can't really determine that yet. Guns seem pretty balanced. Obviously this has only been like 1.5 games I've played. And Specialist, not OP. I don't even think I died to Specialist this game. That's, you know, my brief review over it after one game. Uh, take it as you want to. Uh, I think the game's fun and Specialist is not OP like many people have been saying. Oh, what if Specialist's OP? It's not. So that's that.
