Fortunately for Black Ops III, the tweaks to the multiplayer formula are well implemented. While the core elements of shooting remain familiar, you now choose a specific character with unique abilities known as a specialist.

Seeing the almost shot-by-shot recreations is a nostalgic kick, and the twists and turns of those sequences while still integrating isolated old moments (like Reese grabbing the Nikes) are well done. Even as the opening sprawls into completely new territory it’s still intense and stands as the best action scene in a film filled with them.
