    Alright so as an overall experience this game is amazing.
    The campaign is very well developed and non-linear. Lot of effort put into it and the campaign really has no flaws in my opinion.
    The multiplayer is pretty good. The few things I didn't like about the multiplayer is the inconsistent hit detection, too many headglitching spots, lack of an infinite sprint perk, quickscoping and the    Alright so as an overall experience this game is amazing.

The killstreak and the pointstreak system are much more fun than the scorestreak system as scorestreak kills only give 25 score towards the next killstreak....
    And regarding the zombies mode I didn't really like it compared to all the other treyarch games.    … Expand

    La nota esta enfocada en el multi de este juego(no toco la historia de los CODs xD). El mejor multijugar de todos los CODs que jugue, equilibrado, buenos graficos, buenos mapas y rachas altamente destructivas. Lo unico malo es el tema de los servidores, los cambios de hosts me rompen los testiculos.

    This sequel to the favorite classic, Call of Duty: Black Ops, is by far the best installment in the Call of Duty franchise before the advanced movement came around.

Black Ops 2 has a really well put together campaign that introduces a whole new perspective on how the campaign should be set up. The addition of customizable classes and cool mission set-ups like the mission on Drone (Map). With this solid gameplay of the campaign, there are also two modes prior to the campaign: the good-old Multiplayer and the revive of Zombies. Multiplayer is very interesting, keeping most of its assets from the original Black Ops. The weapons reuse the same firing sounds and reload sounds, and 95% of the guns are overpowered as can be. There is new attachments such as iron sights for the sniper (Ballista), Hybrid Scope, Target Finder Sight, etc. With a new multiplayer comes new maps. The feeling of the maps are mixed, some are really liked by the community (Hijacked, Nuketown 2025, Carrier), and some are hated among the community (Yemen, Aftermath, Cargo). The video and screenshot sharing is still alive, and playercards are way more sophisticated. Prestige system is still pretty much the same. Now-a-days, modding infects the video sharing service and Search & Destroy matches. The Zombies mode had good gameplay, but not really good maps (if you never purchased any maps). Tranzit is a good idea that wasn't produced very well. The fog, the Denizens, the lava, the constant fear of the Avogadro. It all is more worrying than it is fun. I still believe that Zombies was great. Town was solid, with the three Pack-A-Punch system and the revival of old Black Ops guns. Tombstone and new perk jingles. All of it was immensely spectacular game with simple flaws that others take way too seriously. This game was a huge motivation to make even greater games from Treyarch, leading up to Black Ops 3 and 4. I hope one of these days that this game or the original Black Ops gets remastered, because these games are works of art.… Expand

    Very enjoyable action packed sequel with a really good campaign that gives you the possibility to make choices and alter the story, the best zombies mode in the series, great guns and expanded maps.

    This COD has by far my favorite zombie maps. The multiplayer was fun and has some iconic maps like hijacked . The campaign is a continuation of the first black ops which i loved and it doesn't fail to deliver a great experience with multiple endings

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I've played the campaign now and i thought it was pretty generic except for the disco at the end, played a little bit of zombies and thought it was okay but the multiplayer… Mods mods and more mods. When the online servers were still on, there were way too many modders and the end. So that ruined it a bit.… Expand

    Great sequel to black ops! I understand that not everyone must like those futuristic moments in CoD... But here those moments were really good. It was nice to finally see some changes in mechanics. In terms of story game is superb! Mix of old and future warfare. Giving players some choices is also very nice. And the Avenged Sevenfold gig at the end was mind-blowing! Really awesome game.

My only little gripe with this game is the same feeling gameplay that is really outdated and just felt the same as black ops which was good for its time but which hasn't really aged well. In conclusion if you are hesitant to play this game, as Shia Labeouf says, "JUST DO IT!," cause i assure you that you wont regret it. Enjoy gaming gang!… Expand

    The campaign was honestly the best in the series. The non linear levels were a good change of pace, and the changeable story was great too. The multiplayer was my second favorite in the series and is still fun. The only issue is the zombies map Tranzit, but the dlc was some of the best maps in zombies, so it partially made up for it.

    This is not to say it's a bad game, it's just not different enough from previous Call of Duty titles. The story isn't memorable, the maps and weapons aren't any different to what we've previously experienced, the gameplay is near identical to previous games, and when it's not identical it falls flat and fails to impress.

    It's fun, and an indication that Treyarch is willing to explore ideas that Infinity Ward has thus far ignored. [Issue#93, p.74]

    If the original Black Ops was Treyarch's coming-out party, then Black Ops 2 is the studio's affirmation that their COD expertise was no flash in the pan. If you're one of the 16 people who hasn't played this gem yet, go buy it now. Conversely, if you're among those who bought the game but hasn't ventured into the single-player campaign (yes, it happens), there's a great narrative and divergent gameplay awaiting your experimentation, so check it out.
