✓ Nearly identical: shooter, first-person shooting and combat tactical.

≠ Missing: dark, oppressive atmosphere.

The Makarov campaign's conclusion, plus a full multiplayer suite of remastered classic maps and an open-world extraction Zombies mode. The multiplayer is the part that is genuinely well regarded.

Where it drifts furthest from Call of Duty®: Black Ops III: combat.
