There's no dynamic framebuffer set-up here (not even as a selectable option) and running at a fixed native resolution allows us to achieve a consistent level of image quality throughout. Of course, one area where PC gains a guaranteed advantage over console is in terms of resolution. Returning to Black Ops 3 for this full Face-Off, a number of matters remained outstanding - could Treyarch match or indeed improve upon the accomplished performance in the multiplayer modes we tested in the beta phase? And on top of that, given the performance issues we encountered in the console campaign, could we power past those limitations with the PC version? Advanced Warfare was highly optimised for PC, and we were very curious to see if Black Ops 3 could follow suit. Our initial impressions of the campaign showed highly variable levels of performance, while the use of dynamic resolution scaling meant that image quality doesn't always impress - particularly on Xbox One, where sub-900p imagery is commonplace.

Based on the lavish effects work present in the new game, Treyarch is clearly keen to push the graphical spectacle on consoles further than ever before and this has clear repercussions on the core experience. Single-player and co-operative campaign modes - online and split-screen - are joined by classic PvP multiplayer and the return of the popular Zombies mode. Black Ops 3 is perhaps the biggest Call of Duty game yet.
