    This Game comes with 3 seperate shortcuts to start, Campaign aka Singleplayer, Multiplayer and Zombies, which is why I will focus on my review on each parts seperatly.

    Singleplayer/Campaign:
    The Singleplayer is a unique and upgraded experience which is adding to the Story of Black Ops 1. With amazing graphics gorgeous gameplay and lovely music.
    This Time there is something new to the CoD Campaign which I never seen before. In some parts of the game, the game gives you the choice. Which means everybody will experience something different but it makes it also replayable to see what you missed out and what would off happened if you would off choosed something else, a little bit like the Tell Tale Games.
    Another new thing which was new introduced into the Call of Duty Campaign Series was that before each Mission Starts you can choose your own class almost like you do it in Multiplayer, which makes the game more fun and leaves you more choices.

    Multiplayer:
    The Multiplayer is one of the best games that got released and is so far one of the last call of dutys that is still playable. The Settings have a native FOV Slider that goes up to 90 and also have Borderless Fullscreen Mode which is for me personally important with 2 screens. There is also a ping filter where you can decide to what kind of people you would like to connect for example would you rather play with 300 ping or with 30? Its up to you. Also this game is one of the only games that has dedicated servers.
    There are 5 standard classes already unlocked and with each prestige you can get another one (up to 10 classes). With each Prestige comes also a permanent unlock tocken, which means if you prestige and your favourite weapon is for example going to be unlocked at level 50, you can permanently unlock it right away. Everytime you prestige your guns stay the same level, keep their cammos and attachments unlike Moderen Warfare 3 where you lose everything. Which makes it easier to get gold cammos or diamond cammos.
    You can get diamond Cammo which is another first for the Call of Duty Series, if you want to get diamond guns you have to go through all the challenges for one class for example the smgs, once you got all gold, the diamond cammo will be unlocked. Those Challenges are alot of fun to do. So if you ever get bored of just brainlessly killing people or you like games where you can work towards something than you should try this out.

    Zombies:
    The Zombie Mode comes by default with 1 Map the Bus Depot you can buy more maps by purchasing the DLC or the Season Pass. The Zombie Mode itself is fair and has good graphics, sometimes it can be a bit glitchy but 99,9% of the time you won't find anything wrong with it. The Graphics are amazing and there is as well as in Number 1 always a hidden Song. You can complete the Bus Depot Map on your own or together with a friend (I recommend 2 people). The Story is really facinating and I hope it is going to continue in Number 3.
    But you do not have to play the Story on Zombies, you also can play turned, where you fight as a zombie against your friends and Survival where you are just in one spot and can see how many rounds you will make it until the zombies finally got you.

    Due to the fact that this is one of the only games that have dedicated servers and Developers that still banning people it is playable and can be still alot of fun. Another important thing I forgot to say is, that it is very well optimized and I had no problems running it whatsoever on max graphics. It also supports 120fps screens. Personally this is my favourite Call of Duty so far.    … Expand

    Versão de pc é boa, o multiplayer apesar de ter problemas com xiters tem como se divertir, o mesmo tambem com zombies.

    Not as good as the previous Black Ops. Still, a pretty good campaign with a decent multiplayer.

    Действие второго эпизода Black Ops, посвященного секретным операциям вооруженного до зубов спецназа, развернется в 2025 году. Развитие технологий не сказалось на здравом смысле, а слоган «мир во всем мире» так и остался недостижимой мечтой. Ведущие страны погрязли в новой холодной войне, и отыскать выход из сложившегося тупика способны лишь элитные бойцы особого подразделения.

    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.

    Игра отлична. Хорошие если не идеальное продолжение Black Ops. Хороший геймплей. Игра не долгая и не короткая. Сюжет хороший. Персонажи запоминаются. 4 концовки.

    Black Ops 1-3 are about on the same level of interest and game-play for me. More or less tolerable plot, albeit with frequent silly moments. More or less good shooter.

    The campaign's plot is somewhat entertaining. Cool feature have been added like customize your loadout before each mission. Multiple path choices and therefore multiple endings

    In my opinion, the campaign mode looked like deeper than the previous game. But in general, it has nearly the same gameplay as the first Black Ops game. Therefore, I didn't like much... 7hrs on record.

    처음으로 선택이라는 요소를 채용한 스토리라인. 처음치고는 매우 훌륭해서 놀랐다. 근현대물도 처음이였다는걸 생각하면 여러 도전에도 불구하고 훌륭하게 뽑혔던 수작.

    This game might as well go without a zombies mode since it's easily the worst out of all of them. I have played the campaign and it's a great continuation of Black Ops I's campaign. I haven't played the multiplayer but I assume it's also great.

    I liked it. Although not quite a proper MILLITARY shooter, this ones takes a more personal route and i liked it especially after the same formula that had been applied over and over again in the MW series. Missions are set both in 2025 and the cold war and imo the missions set during the cold war are much better.

    The game was horrible, its only liked bcs of the nostalgia, and it got really lucky, bcs ghosts and aw came out, it those games never came out, the game would be seen as garbage. Truly the most overrated game ever.

    The PC version is really dead, at least 200+ players on.

    Multiplayer is good, but it's barely played..
    I'm still mixed about the Campaign, but on PC it LOOKS way better.
    Zombies is also barely played...

    Отличная 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

    I dont know why people hate this game (even tho most of the reviews are people complaining about price and how theyre son is addicted) its fun. The campaing is absolutely mind blowing. The branching narrative is amazing. So many powerfull moments. Black ops 2's villain is the best in the series no doubt.

    Multiplayer is once again the best in the series with amazing mechanics and sooooo many options when it comes too guns.

    Now the worst part about this game is the zombies. The DLC zombies is great but the non DLC is absolute **** Tranzit is hoooorriiibbllleee nd sucks ass it has nothing to do with the zombies story and is a little fun but who am i kidding. All and all great game but with a missed opportunity when it comes to zombies    … Expand

    The game is below average. Nice gameplay. The game is neither long nor short. The plot is somewhat weird.

    Black Ops II brings evolution to the series unfortunately, the evolution that is incomplete. Only one part of the game deserves a top ranking – multiplayer. [Christmas 2012]

    Call of Duty Black Ops II is saved by its multiplayer, as the campaign has surprisingly too many bad sections. Maybe now it's time to move on? [Dec 2012]
