Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 (PS2)

'NOTE: This is not a real port. But just pretend if it was.'

Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 is a first-person shooter game developed by Treyarch and published by Activision for the Xbox One, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 4 and Microsoft Windows. The Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions were developed by Beenox and Mercenary Technologies. It’s the twelfth game in the Call of Duty franchise and a sequel to Call of Duty: Black Ops 2. Not only it was the last Call of Duty game to be released on the PlayStation 2, but was also the last game to ever be released on the PlayStation 2. And this will only focus on the PlayStation 2 version.

Good Qualities

 * 1) Great graphics for a late PlayStation 2 game.
 * 2) You can customize the protagonist's appearance, just like the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC versions.
 * 3) Like the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC versions, there are also Cyber Cores in the campaign, which are a set of cybernetically-implanted offensive abilities. There are three skill trees worth of Cyber Cores available to the player. Each type has a total of six abilities, along with one passive melee ability.
 * 4) *Control: This tree is useful for missions that have heavy robot opposition, such as the beginning of Life or the latter half of Hypocenter. It has limited use against human enemies, but can still be effective.
 * 5) *Chaos: This tree includes a variety of abilities to cause havoc among groups of enemies, especially on humans.
 * 6) *Martial: A melee-focused tree that involves getting up close and personal with enemies to do serious damage. It also comes with a few diversion abilities to make sure the player survives.
 * 7) *There is also some exclusive content for this version, like the DLC that was later added to the other platforms, and the multiplayer maps of Crash Bandicoot, PaRappa The Rapper, Jak and Daxter, and God of War.
 * 8) The multiplayer mode adds new weapons and new modes (except the online mode).
 * 9) After you complete a certain mission, you can unlock new skins to free mode (unlike the other versions), like Crash from Crash Bandicoot, Daxter from Jak and Daxter, and Kratos from God of War.
 * 10) There is also a free mode in this version, where you can customize and play any mission you want

Bad Qualities

 * 1) For unknown reasons, this version lacks online mode.
 * 2) *Thankfully there's still a multiplayer mode, but it's offline.
 * 3) Although this was a good port, this version was released 2 years after the PlayStation 2 was discontinued.
 * 4) Just like the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions, the maximum frame rate is reduced to 30 FPS in Zombies mode and varies between 30 and 60 FPS in multiplayer, a downgrade from previous Call of Duty games starting from Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare where the frame-rate is locked at 60 FPS.
