Black Ops III or Infinite Warfare for single player?

[Caidezes]

Had my eye on both games for a while now. I've no desire to partake in any of the multiplayer stuff aside from private bot matches (if possible). With that in mind, which game would offer the most content/replayability?

black ops 3 by far

Well for mp and zombies go with bo3 but for campaign choose iw but if you're getting iw you should get the pack with mwr cause that campaign is lit. Also mwr comes out by itself on July 20 for pc so you can get mwr by itself

Infinite Warfare is definitely the better game in terms of single player campaign as well as private (bot mode) matches due to their vastly superior AI. The campaign in Inifite Warfare is one of the best in the series regardless of the hate the overall package gets. The campaign in Black Ops III is very copy paste and the bots in a private match will literally kill themselves by jumping off the map no matter what difficulty you set them to be.

Now in terms if multiplayer content, Black Ops III is by far and out much higher quality, has dedicated servers and has a populated community which Infinite Warfare simply doesn't have. Black Ops III still recieves developer support on pc to this day and they'll likely continue to do so in the future if past Treyarch releases predict the future.

Just keep in mind that although I'm recommending Infinite Warfare for the campaign and bot quality, don't say I didn't warn you that the Infinite Warfare community is dead if you started getting into the multiplayer and wanted to get involved with public matches, because it's already a ghost town, let alone some time down the line. Even Ghosts didn't die so quickly, so be warned.

Anyways, just my opinion, but I hope this helps.

I mean if you consider zombies as singleplayer then go bo3 but infinite warfare has a decent campaign better than bo3's but well its pretty expensive for just campaign

Black Ops 3. It has Coop support and the overall better story (once you figure out the real, hidden one and not the fake one that's told to you straight up) and has a second campaign on top (using the same maps in different order with some changed enemies and a new story), also offering Coop Support.

And of course there is Free Run, a pure solo mode to train the movement system.

Anything that can be done solo (or with bots) counts as single player content in this case, yes. Thanks for the opinions, guys. Always a bit hard to gauge these things since the series is focused on multiplayer.

According to your achievements you've only played 1-2 missions tops so how would that be enough to compare the two games?

I haven't played IW but I completed BO3's campaign twice and if you're looking for replayability then BO3 has it. The missions take considerably longer than in the older games, the levels are much bigger so you don't have to squeeze through the exact same corridors every time, there is 4-player coop and custom classes as well as the new cybercore abilities which are pretty fun to use.

Realistic difficulty was also fun to do in BO3. IW has something similar but apparently it's easier and you don't even get an achievement or anything for beating it so there is virtually no incentive to play it.

I've played more than enough of both games to determine which campaign was of a higher quality and you don't need to complete a game, nor unlock all achievements to come to that judgement. Regardless my opinion is just that, an opinion which everyone is entitled to. Yet my opinion is of a hands on experience of both games and your opinion of Infinite Warfare is based on second hand knowledge. That's not to say that you're not entitled to your opinion, but there's obviously an underlying bias considering you've already predetermined that certain elements are superior in Black Ops III without even playing Infinite Warfare.

After playing only 1-2 missions you have absolutely no understanding of the story and how would you know it's a "copy and paste" campaign if you haven't even seen 80% of it? That makes no sense.

I made that very clear in my post which is why I didn't compare the two games.

Also a heads up bo3 lets you play zombies completely offline wereas infinite warfare requires you to be logged in and online

For single player content alone. Infinite Warfare by a long stretch. The campaign is simply better, and the zombie map you get with bo3 whilst better then IW map isn't that much better (the later dlc ones are trhough). Likewise as others have said, IW bots are leagues ahead of what is in blops 3 (which is a waste of time playing botmatches in).
