This is to give those of you still debating on getting this game for the 360 some perspective on my thoughts for the game so far. Why 360 you ask? Because I just moved into a new apartment and my money is tight. Also I still have my receipt and can return the game if I decide I don't want it. So let's get started.

First thing I tried is zombies because that's my tradition with Treyarc CoD's. Right off the bat I noticed is that the textures are terrible. Normally graphics aren't a concern at all for me but this is just lazy (note I play in HDMI as well.) Although the map itself is pretty fun and interesting I still sometimes feel distracted by the lack of design effort.

The second thing that I noticed was all the menus are really clunky and leaderboards are missing. I wanted to see my global rank for zombies - not there. Menu's for Multiplayer are half-assed as well. Speaking of multiplayer, it's got it's moments where it's fun however it just plays very strange for me. It has nothing to do with the graphics but the movement itself. You can tell when you move that this game is a mediocre port even without knowing beforehand. I couldn't even find one game of TDM, but I did find a game of Hardpoint first try. Now I will just be listing things i've noticed while playing.

I did not spot any modders or hackers, but that's just me personally. I did have to download an update right away so that might have delt with that problem (for now.)

Sometimes it will put you in multiplayer games by yourself, if you like wins that's great for you. Me personally, I like a challenge so it wasn't fun.

Please note that finding games will probably improve as more people start buying it so don't be discouraged.

Lastly it should already be known that yes, Treyarc made Black Ops 3 but for the 360 version another company (Beenox) ported it so that's why it's not as smooth or might not have the exact same feel as it would on a next-gen console.

If you want to give it a shot be my guest, however i'd look into upgrading very soon. Remember black Friday is right around the corner so you can get some good deals on your next-gen console of choice. Thanks for reading.

No problem, the game is fun if you're more of a casual player just looking to play after school or work. If you're a serious gamer i'd upgrade as soon as you can.

Well, I am a casual gamer. I'll play it most of the weekend and when I get home from school. Thanks.
