Call Of Duty: Black Ops 2

You do know people have different opinions regarding games or sources of entertainment?

Yea, but some people just bash on Black ops 2 without giving it a try or they do it just for shits 'n' giggles.

Yes, but some of them are just tired of the franchise and feel that the developers are recycling the game just for the large financial gain.

Well as that 1337snipz guy said. Activision are money hungry that they are milking Call of Duty dry just like Guitar Hero.

EDIT* But I think Black Ops was a successful game.

I might cave in and get this tomorrow(or later today, since it's a little past midnight here). This'll be the first CoD I've played since MW2.

IMHO, don't. Black Ops II is a sequel, to be fully appreciated you should play the first Black Ops, THEN this.

You should also mention that the first Black Ops itself, is a sequel to World at War. The Treyarch games all have one continuous storyline.

Also, I decided to skip this to save up for Far Cry 3 when it comes out.

Shoot, I forgot to mention that. Sorry. :V

Well Activistion finally released the sales of Black Ops 2 and it looks like they apparently did better than Halo 4. Yet again Halo 4 fans are butthurt over sales of another game......
But it's not that surprising since Black Ops 2 is multi platform available for Playstation 3, Xbox 360, Wii U, and PC. So sales are obviously going to be greater.

As a long time Call of Duty Fan I had my ups and downs in the series however every COD game that was made by Treyarch I really enjoyed it so I wasnt surprised when they did recieve good reviews I love BO 2 so much because almost all the problems I had with past COD's have been solved if not improved.

This guy gets it. I find it funny how all of these people on youtube are hating on Black Ops 2 when they haven't even played the game. They hate it because they don't like the cod series. Treyarch put so much work in this game and added all of these new features and took time to really make the game last and all these people do is complain because infinity ward makes shit games. Don't judge a book by its title, im sick of hearing people complain about a game they haven't even played yet.

Also here some fun easter eggs.

Everything about the game was amazing. After discovering this last night, it's definitely game of the year material to me.

Thank you sir and lol after I beated the Story for Black Ops 2 I fell asleep during the credits and woke to Avenged Sevenfold that was a funny and awesome skit ^_^

Not much of a fan of the series.
So I could care less

Loving the Combat Knife, it's too much of a benefit for anyone. The satisfaction of just getting continuous kills with it feels fresh. Pretty nifty how it even get skins.

Then why did you post here idiot?

Just Red Boxed the game. Who the fuck wrote the story? I mean, disccovering a new element does NOT magically lead to super technology. The gameplay feels alright, but this game is sorely testing my suspension of disbelief. Mason firing off a Stinger whilst on horseback is one of the examples. I couldn't help but keep thinking, "How the hell hasn't this horse kicked my ass off by now?"

Favorite part so far. Using the active camoflouge that leaves your gun completely visible, making it look like it's just floating around. It makes sense when you think about it, sure. But the whole concept just suddenly felt stupid. I was honestly reminded of that Megadoomer episode of Invader Zim.

I beat the story a few days ago and I like all of different elements they put into the story. riding around on horseback shooting stinger missiles isn't realistic, but at least it was fun and a different experience than
move forward --> kill enemies --> move forward
They do what they can to make sure the story doesn't get stale and I found it a fun experience.

I'll give Treyarch some credit for trying something new with the Strikeforce missions. My problem with them is that they're shit. The AI is retarded and damn near forces you do to everything yourself, which is a goddam nightmare on veteran. Honesly, if I wanted to play a strategy game, I'd go back to XCOM. At least that game was actually fun when it was kicking my ass. And since the Strikeforce missions actually have an effect on the story, it kinda feels like I have to force my way through that shit.

Ultimately, you don't have to actually do the Strikeforce missions if you don't want to.

Granted, I had only a few problems with the AI, (most of which had no idea where the fuck to go, or realize that they don't have to go the freaking long way), but they do what most anyone expects them to do when you don't control them personally.

Only real gripe I have about the Strikeforce missions is that all of them seem to have steep varying levels of difficutly. Some of them are actually quite easy to do, while the others, like the first SF Mission, seem to be ridiculously hard.

Storywise, I'm glad they actually decided to mix things up for once. Granted, yeah, some things are beyond belief, (though it's a GAME, what did you expect?), but still good overall, and replay actually has value now.

On Multiplayer, holy crap...just as insane as it was on Black Ops, but taken to a different level. So far, the only weapons I'm using are the MTAR, MP7, and R870 MCS. Now, the R870 MCS, in both campaign and multiplayer, has a fairly long effective killing range for a shotgun, probably the longest in its class, but if you add the Long Barrel attatchment to it, you can pretty much dispatch poor saps at mid-range. Only gripe about it, which isn't surprising, is that it's pump action, but that's not really a problem once you drop the guy.

IMHO, Black Ops II didn't disappoint at all. Could've tweaked a few things, like maybe making the horse stop when firing a Stinger missle, or maybe being told to dismount before doing so, but I don't see that as big of a problem compared to the lag compensation on MP. My gripe about playing online is that, to me, you're being forced to play at someone elses pace instead of your own, but lately, that doesn't seem to be the case.
