* FollowTheLeader: In the vein of ''{{VideoGame/Destiny}}'', multiplayer characters have specialist abilities that are virtually identical to Destiny's Super attacks and abilities. While elements of ''VideoGame/{{Titanfall}}'' found their way into ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyAdvancedWarfare'' - namely jump-jets and MiniMecha - ''Black Ops III'' contains more ''Titanfall''-esque elements such as wall-running and the integration of singleplayer elements into multiplayer, and vice versa.
** On a more meta note, the success of the Destiny beta '''''finally''''' allowed a Call of Duty multiplayer beta for the first time since World at War.
** Also inclusion of CharacterCustomization in the campaign - specifically the ability to play the entire campaign as a fully voiced and modeled female protagonist - has drawn comparisons to role-playing games that allow more in-depth personalizations. In fact, the campaign director deliberately compared the inclusion of an optionally-female protagonist to Commander Shepard from ''VideoGame/MassEffect'', who can be played as both genders.

Moving to proper title.

* ActorAllusion:
** Once again, [[Series/FarScape Ben Browder]] has [[spoiler: a malevolent AI contained within a neural implant controlling his actions and overriding his senses with trippy digital fantasies]].
** Creator/KateeSackhoff [[Series/BionicWoman once again]] plays a cybernetic-enhanced soldier [[spoiler:who's gone rogue thanks to her implants; interestingly, the virus infecting her is named Corvus, which was the surname of her last corrupted cybernetic character.]] Additionally, both Sackhoff's cybernetic characters are named Sarah.
* CelebrityVoiceActor:
** The campaign stars Creator/ChristopherMeloni, who voices the campaign's antagonist John Taylor, and Creator/KateeSackhoff who plays ActionGirl Sarah Hall. There's also a blink and you'll miss it cameo from Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch.
** The zombie mode stars Creator/HeatherGraham, Creator/NealMcDonough, Creator/RonPerlman, Creator/RobertPicardo, and Creator/JeffGoldblum.
* TheDanza: Rachel Kane is played by Rachel Kimsey.
* ShoutOut:
** One of the first allied soldiers that appears in [[spoiler:the World War 2 sequence]] is named [[VideoGame/MedalOfHonor Patterson]]. It may simply be a coincidence, except the setting strongly suggests otherwise and the character has the same name on every playthrough, even though minor NPC soldiers usually have randomly generated names.
** Some of the most [[MindScrew Mind-Screwy]] parts of the games [[spoiler: notably Sarah Hall's DyingDream and the final mission, which involve things like swimming through rivers of blood, fighting monsters while surrounded by fire, and being haunted by a ghostly apparition]] are ''very'' reminiscent of ''VideoGame/FirstEncounterAssaultRecon.'' It also bears heavy resemblance to many of the inner-mind sequences and abstract imagery seen in ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'', [[spoiler: complete with similar themes of transcendence and rebirth.]]
** Several of the accolades that can be earned throughout the Campaign: [[WebVideo/EpicRapBattlesOfHistory Epic R.A.P.S. Battle]], [[Music/FiveFingerDeathPunch Way of the Fist]], and [[Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay I now know why you cry]], to name a few.

* YouLookFamiliar: Creator/RobertPicardo, who previously voiced Robert Mc[==]Namara in the original ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyBlackOps'' and Erik Brieghner in ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyBlackOpsII'', returns to play Sebastian Krueger in the campaign and the Shadow Man in Zombies.
