So...Seems like after 738 hours of playing I decided to write a review.
Campaign: This is the most dissapointing thing in this game.I have no idea how they could make such a boring campaign after the masterpiece they created in Black Ops 2.There is no relation to the previous games,all you do is just shooting robots and some people(some of them are just a simulation :D).To be honest,it was a real problem for me to even start playing,as I don't enjoy it at all.
My rating: 3/10
Multiplayer: Can't say I'm as excited as I was when Blops 2 came out,but this game was waay more interesting to play after the Call of Duty fails (Ghosts,Advanced Warfare).I personally liked the multiplayer,the whole specialist system,the camos and,especially,the melee weapons(It really is fun to play w/ them when you get them).Supply drops..Not really a problem for me,even though I don't buy CoD Points,I got quite some interesting stuff(MX Garand,Wrench,Slash n Burn,Skull Splitter and the Butterfly knife).I don't really like most of the maps,but this is just my personal preference.
My rating: 8/10
Zombies: This is probably the reason I bought this game+ the Season Pass.So,first of all,I like the fact that it's boots on the ground,no jumping up and down like it was in Exo zombies (which was awful).I really liked the new system,the weapon kits allow you to use your multiplayer/campaign camouflages and use them in game.Also,you can rank up your weapons and use the attachments you want,you can rank up normally in zombies and become a prestige master (and i really liked that,that makes you want to play more and more).The whole Gobblegum system was pretty nice,sure,if you don't spend a lot of money,you won't use perkaholics every single game,but,for a regular zombies player,the gums are a real nice addition to the gamemode.
About the maps..
Shadows of evil was a great map(it reminds me of a mix of Biochock and Mob of the Dead),spent a lot of hours playing it and I would say that really enjoyed it.
The Giant A nice remake to play with your friends.I like it more than the original.
Der Eisendrache is the map I dislike.It is similar with Origins but it doesn't feel as good as Origins is.There's something about it that makes me avoid it.
Zetsubou No Shima is my favourite one.I spent most of my time playing,going for high rounds,easter egg stuff etc.Very great one
Gorod Krovi is not a map I would play regurarly.This map barely reminds something related to the USSR.all you see is a bunch of Silver Crosses,no Hammers & sickles or Soviet flags.More like you play in another German city.There's not much room to run around,the design of the map is bad and even the PPSH can't make me play the map more often.
Revelations The whole idea of uniting maps from previous titles was something I wanted for quite a lot of time and it brings a great feeling of nostalgia,but I think this is not the end we all wanted.The map is fairly easy (all wonder weapons are available from the box,there're a lot of interesting things in it but it's not something that will make you play this map over and over again.

I completed all of the easter eggs and I really enjoyed doing them,the storyline is just amazing,but the end was a little bit..unexpectable.

My rating: 9/10

Dead Ops arcade was interesting to play,Free run is a fun way to spend....some minutes,Nightmares is so so.

Game rating: 8/10

2021 update:
After 1800+ of playing, I can say that the game is still my favourite game, as everything that made it great is still in the game. The biggest downside is the fact that the game is infested with cheaters and people with hacked levels, which makes me, a legit Prestige Master extremely frustrated. It is impossible to play multiplayer normally, and there is only one playlist that people play- Team deathmatch. Zombies is preferable to play with your friends because it has been ruined by cheaters as well. Sad to see what happened to this once magestic game.

About the bugs ZNS had-I know that.I've seen them,but I'm glad they patched them(almost all of them).But that's not fair to rate the map in a bad way if they patched the glitches.Anyway,some of the steps really are complicated.No doubt on that,that's why I never play zns w/ randoms.

Yeah,you shall try mods,there a lot of interesting maps that will be released (Motd remastered,for example).Even now,there quite a few maps that are interesting to play.

Are mods any good? I'm interested in picking up a PC copy, but I'm skeptical to say the least.

ZNS was buggy as hell at launch. I did the easter egg, and got the hell out of there and never looked back. Plus the gameplay was tedious and if one person wasn't an experienced zombies player you couldn't even upgrade the wonder weapon. DE was a nice change of pace from SOE (which I love mind you) that was simple and didn't require a lot of effort to play a quick 30 minute game, and while it didn't really innovate per se the gamplay was as classic as it gets and had elements of fan favorite maps with probably the best easter egg of all time. Gorod Krovi while cramped, was so much fun and always kept you on your toes. The EE was a bitch but that's what was so satisfying about it once you finally finished it, and the wonder weapon is probably my favorite of all time besides the Thunder Gun. GK wasn't very thematically accurate or engaging but the gameplay was so similar to MOTD and was so simple it made me a fan of the series again.

Still don't understand the hate of ZNS and the love of DE.As much as I loved Origins(I played it for about 70+(or even more) I dislike DE very very much.SNS had the old scary feeling (the best part is when you play the game at midnight and you are using the elevator to get to the abandoned quarters where takeo is).Gorod Krovi just does not feel like Soviet Union,it's too tight,nowhere to run,so so for me

Good review, but Gorod Krovi and Der Eisendrache were great. DE wasn't as good as Origins, but it was still fun, and GK was pretty damn awesome and got me back into the game after the massively dissapointing and boring waste ZNS was. Worst map since TranZit by far, even though it's your opinion, it's still an awful map that the majority of the community hates.
