Jun 4, 2016Absolutely stunning! the campaign is immersive and truly involving. The storytelling is brilliant, full of twist and very well written. The scenarios are innumerable and beautifully realized. The futuristics weapons are very fun to use! Huge effort by Trey-arch, all my praise to these phenomenal developers

Nov 15, 2012This game is awesome. The only people crying are autistic kids who play terraria. Graphics 10/10. Story 10/10. Gameplay. 10/10. I spent 180 dollars on this game. I have a feeling its mostly poor kids crying also. Haha get a job losers. Anyone who gives this game below a 10/10 is a troll.

Jan 6, 2013Odd, despite all of these negative reviews I must say that I really enjoyed the game and I played the first one as well. Good and interesting story. Great special effects and graphics. I've played a lot of shooter games, some good and some bad. This one is worth playing AND it has replay value. Oh well, I guess that I'm just easy to please, I suppose.

Nov 14, 2012The is the best of the Call of duty Games in the franchise. Brilliant story line the best multiplayer around. Zombies is also another nice edition offering some of the best maps so far as well as the new transit mode. Overall this is an epic game that deserves praise for changing the series more than the any other call of duty games apart from Call of duty 4.

Nov 14, 2012One of the Best Call of Duty games ever released. it might be the end of the black ops series in CoD. but never less i am a fan of Halo CoD and Battlefield and i think this game beat the rest of those series
Go Call of Duty -
Jul 5, 2013Call of Duty Black Ops 2 reinvents combat in 2025 and defies the graphics of today's games, no matter on any counsel PC to Xbox from PS3 to Wii U Call of Duty Black Ops 2 makes a great game.

Jul 22, 2013Yes you should not spend 60 bucks on the campaign alone but the multiplayer gives hours of playtime with a significantly improved system that lets you continually move up in the world rankings.

Jun 15, 2014This game is almost perfect shooter. After years it looks and being played better than Battlefield 4, Titanfall and Ghosts. Fast paced, candy like, beautiful. Gameplay makes you obsessed. Impressive range of multiplayer maps. Interesting percs, wonderfl gadgets, really awesome weapons and personalization, large friendly community. I think Black Ops II is best multiplayer shooter ever.

VERDICT
One of the best COD games of all time! Definitely one of my most favorite games ever. -
Jan 8, 2015This game I rate 10. I mean, It's better at Console, but this game is actually amazing considering the age of it. You should get black ops 2 because the graphics, campaign, everything except the community is good. Now I say this because some players in this game might swear or call you names, But other than that it's amazing!
-
Nov 7, 2015I believe this game is great it has fun zombies and intense multiplayer. The only problem for pc is the lag its not the computers it is the game, but i believe in a few months it will be fixed this is why I am giving a 8/10.

Nov 1, 2018Игра отлична. Хорошие если не идеальное продолжение Black Ops. Хороший геймплей. Игра не долгая и не короткая. Сюжет хороший. Персонажи запоминаются. 4 концовки.
-
Jan 12, 2021Possibly the best cod game best maps best zombie mode nuke town is the best map and they have a nuketown zombies.
-
Apr 25, 2021The game deserves 10, because the game itself is cool with its plot, a large arsenal of weapons, cool locations and others. Everyone complains about the graphics, but for me it's strange to judge the game by the graphics and not by the plot, etc.

Jan 1, 2013treyarh brought the series to a new level. such work with the plot in shooters could only dream of, thanks to the nonlinearity you feel the main character. despite the old engine treyarh led process genre to new heights

Nov 13, 2012Its call of duty. You either love it or hate it. most people who are giving low scores right now probably dont even own the game this call of duty brings what we all love with some new improvements!
-
Nov 13, 2012Single player is not worth mentioning, but multiplayer is where the game truly shines. It's worth every dollar if you like shooting other players in a fast-paced game of death.

Nov 26, 2014Much, much better than its predecessor Black Ops. I love that it is variable and goes from 1960 to 2025. Another thing that I love is that the story has several endings.
-
Oct 3, 2014It's not a terrible game. In terms of graphics it's pretty darn good. I wouldn't say this is the worst call of duty ever released, though it may not be the best.
-
Aug 31, 2015i dont know why the pc version of this game is getting negtive feedback. this game is great. the graphics the mulitplayer and the campaign. the zombies too. this is hands down the best call of duty ever made.

Aug 31, 2016Great Call Of Duty game! The gameplay and the story are great! The online multiplayer and zombies are perfect too and I love the ending which is great!
-
Jun 28, 2020S-
Story is shaped with your choices and this makes the game perfect for me.
Gameplay is perfect as always multiplayer maps are not as good as original black ops but they're still really good.
Zombie mod is improved and the best in series.
Singleplayer maps encourageous players to explore. -
Mar 5, 2019very good game i thought that they can't do a good game and better than the first one but they did it
-
Jul 16, 2020A great game with a great storyline and an amazing gameplay,The best game in the Black ops series without a doubt
-
Jun 9, 2021Отличная часть серии с охеренным сюжетом с выборами и несколькими концовками,мультиплеер стал гораздо динамичнее по сравнению с предыдущими частями и зомби режим прокачали
Black Ops 2 самая лучшая часть всей серии -

Feb 5, 2023Это одна из игр моего детства. И, несмотря на возраст и недостатки, о которых я сейчас узнаю от других, она не кажется мне плохой
-
Jul 4, 2023Referente a la campaña me gusta bastante, con lo de zombies también y el multijugador es inmortal, este juego es bastante bueno auqneu no me gsuta como toma la tecnologia tan avanzado, hace que me sienta un poco incomodo usando artefactos tan sofisticados.

Nov 13, 2012For all those haters out there, there just afraid of change. So there are no dedicated servers? Big whoop. So the unlock system is different? It makes it more fair than a noob getting on and right away getting the best guns in the game. So the graphics are bad? Why should it matter? If its a good game I couldn't care if it had Atari graphics I would still play it.

Nov 18, 2012Game is good don't expect any fireworks or fantastic graphics it is another call of duty a little better then other the multiplayer is awesome single is realy good a thats it .
-
Nov 19, 2012Well, this is my first Call of Duty game since CoD 4 and I have to say BO2 is really good FPS (not realistic, but it's fun), however I think they should finally change game engine etc. Maybe they're afraid of massive failure?
-
Nov 20, 2012This game is perfect its nonlinearity is already a miracle for this series.Appeared a lot of many things/ TREYARCH I am glad that brings a new try to do something as opposed to Atctivision.Music is very beutifull.Oh graphics too old but she is saved by design of Future.Story - 9. Sense with numbers somewhere go out.Reznov ..... so real or not.

Sep 4, 2014The graphics of Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 falls short, the singleplayer campaign is a bit short and the co-op mode isn't diversified but the multiplayer is very innovative, fun and balanced. I see Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 as one of the best in the CoD series.

Sep 10, 2015It's that time of the year again folks. Treyarch proved themselves with Black Ops 1...proving they can make a better game than Infinity Ward can. Black Ops 2 is a great game. just not AS good as Black Ops 1. Unfortunately, they decided to abandon community run dedicated servers, which means no freedom, admins, etc. They also insist on making people use matchmaking with console style lobbies.
-
Oct 26, 2018Why all these negative scores? I wonder, I really liked this game I can't figure out why people hated it so much. I liked the background story and the game was fine as a first person shooter. but maybe I liked it because I don't play shooter at all and this was my very first (and very last :D) attempt on the genre and COD series.
-
Jan 19, 2016I don't care about graphics. But they were bad. I did like the gameplay, though weaponry was sadly quite unbalanced. The multi-player is sort-of okay. Sort of.
-
Jul 6, 2018Buena jugabilidad, historia aceptable, gráficos decentes y un online muy divertido, es el único COD que me hizo viciar.
-
Jul 30, 2017I think that this is truly a unique game and I would recommend that if you are a fan of this type of genre then I think you should give this game a try.
-
Jul 22, 2018Not as good as the previous Black Ops. Still, a pretty good campaign with a decent multiplayer.
