"Call of Duty" die-hard fans have been complaining about the whole concept of "Call of Duty: Black Ops III's" Hardcore Mode, not because of its quality, but the type of game modes it has.

According to Attack of the Fan Boy, apparently, the choices of game modes for the Hardcore player have been very limited compared to its previous versions. The obvious removal of the Hardcore Domination and Hardcore Kill Confirmed somewhat irked fans despite Treyarch adding some additional features like the Free for All and Capture the Flag. If anything else, fans think that the developer could have just combined them to provide the ultimate gaming experience.

Fans took to Twitter their disappointment, even launching a petition to call the attention of multiplayer designer David Vonderhaar to bring back the said features. Enticing as it may seem, there are also issues about combining the Specialist and the Hardcore mode. This might be one of the reasons the two staple features to players were clearly omitted. Treyarch has not given any official statement regarding the matter. Hopefully, when they do, it may bring some good news to avid fans.

The Guardian finds the latest installment of the "Call of Duty" series as something that has everything to see but very little to offer. The "Call of Duty: Black Ops III" offers a distinct selection of nine characters, which can only be acquired during the game. Players must conquer matches that correspond to the character they want to unlock. Interesting as it may seem, it basically offers the same type of challenge for those who have played the past "Call of Duty" installments.

The Guardian's review apparently expected much from such talented team of developers. They anticipated a mixture of slick visuals and an abundance of content from the much-anticipated game.

According to the news outlet, the tactical depth of the game should have been given more thought, especially for players who have mastered their way around the series.

On a lighter note, "Black Ops III" played its part on the "Call of Duty" series, and the manner by which it was strategically connected to its previous series has been perfectly redone. However, that's it, as there seems to be a lack on challenges and tactical analysis. Also, the Guardian notes that more death-defying stunts and game modes should be integrated to be considered a done and deal game.
