a .lot of flaws
so when i first played this game i was like cool, new guns, new story all seems good. so when i finished the campain i decided to try multiplayer where i was kind of irritated by the fact that it wasnt very good. first the knifing is terrible, i once watched this dude try to knife someone while ddefusing a bomb and it was like he was knifing a wall ! nothing happened ! and you can be shooting someone before they even see you and all of a sudden they kill you automatically, i dont know if that was lag or what but it was some bull and i never played mp again. but the zombies is pretty cool, although i wish there was still the classic mode like on kino der toten from black ops 1. buy this if u like a cool story mode and zombies ignore the multiplayer.

Patheic, worst cod yet!
This the worst cod yet, even worse then mw3! Im not a big fan of call of duty but I did like the orignal black ops so I thought that i'd give it a try... sadly it made mw3 *the worst cod before this one* look like the best game in the world. The maps are terrilbe and the 2025 setting does not work well. They even ruined zombies turning them into a laughing joke *my favorite thing about black ops 1 is zombies* This game might hold your attention for a short while but you will probaly find yourself trading this in for the 15$'s that gamestop gives you. I highly recomend if you like call of duty to keep playing mw1, black ops 1 or even.... mw3 and leave this game alone. Battlefield 3 and battlefield bad company 2 are much better games as well. Don't make the mistake do not buy this!

black ops 2 is a joke
bo2 is just a dumb game. Bo2 is just a repetitive game of blacks ops 1. There just a few slight changes in the game. The story is also boring. I played it 2 times to see if I would have any excitement but nothing happen it just is bad. I honest wouldn't waste a dollar on this game. You want to play a good game play battlefield 3, killzone 3 or any of the killzone.

bad online play
online game play has gone bad. They added this thing to their severs called lag compensation! You know get killed by players with bad internet connection thanks to Activison. Point blank shots with no hit markers, random player appearances, super human running speeds, being killed after you have ran behind a wall, one hit kills from the enemy with a non one hit kill gun. Think I am lying to you look that stuff up.

This game is complete garbage.
This game sucks so much its un explainable. The multiplayer is at an all time low. With shotguns, snipers, and pistols ruining the game with quickscoping, what seems to be unlimited range shotguns, and 2 shot kill pistols its imposible to just jump on and play for a couple games with out raging yourself into insanity! Also the constant lag just puts this game over the edge into the worst game i've ever played. The horrible new maps degrade the already terrible game. Zombies and the campain are decent. But the multiplayer just makes me want to snap the disk in half. I woundn't wish this game on my worst enemy. If you want a good COD, go buy MW2 for 8 bucks.

worse cod, if u like bo1,or mw series dont get
I've been playing cod every other day for years. I was sucked in from mw2, but i played and owned world at war,mw3,black ops 1 and this one. And all i have to say is the product's quality has been going down hill. The story in this one is the worse one to date, the characters are not memorable at all. Only thing i like was you do make some choices that do effect the ending, but u wont care much about these ppl so it really doesn't matter. Now lets talk about multi player, that's what everyone is here for. Zombies is fun, I'm not a huge fan of zombies but if u like that game type, its here and still great. But this cods multi player is the weakest out of all the cods, don't get me wrong i played it for months , i got a good k.d. but its not fun to play, so i don't sound biased let me tell you why before you run out and waste your money. 1.score based matchmaking,okay this is the first cod to have it, it means that you play with people who have the same skill level /or are harder than you. Sounds good on paper, but its horrible, not to mention ppl bypass . So that means if ur a good player eventually there will be no new people in ur games, only ppl ur skill level or way harder! So u never get those insane scores or fun time anymore. U just play with ppl who r just as good, which means theyll get frustrated,want score streaks,so theyll camp .sigh. 2. No more killstreaks.now its score streaks! Okay at first this sounded fun, u didnt have to only get kills, but when u do the math ,all the streaks in this game take more kills to get. In mw2 u get a pred missle with 5 kills, easy. In this i takes more bcs kills r only 100 points.plus ull be trying to add up points in ur head while playing online so ull just die...3) internet connection preference. Okay in this cod u can set ur internet to all,normal,best for ur connection type, but the problem is everyone sets theres to best so ppl with Kmart connection end up in ur games and lag uout of it.4) the online . Its bad. After all the patches the guns statics make no sense, its laggy, u will have bullets fly around corners and kill u,u need to play with lag compensation,ppl use the cheapest tactics to win, lmgs,target finders(a scope that tells u where ur enemy is by marking them with a bright red square) , the recoil on the guns is so bad i just got sick of it. Then the icon maker is a problem, all these kids just have explict icons. 5) deathstreaks are GONE! U rember in modern warfares when u started to do poorly they would give u a deathstreak to try to bring u back into the game? Well tryarch threw it out. 6) every dlc is overpriced, and map dlc just gives u laggier games. Okay think about it its cool to have more maps but not alot of ppl buy dlc, so u will only be in matches with ppl who bought the same map packs as u..... if u need this game just buy the pre own, try it for a couple days so if u like it u can keep it, but if u dont u can return it up to 7 days and get ur cash back. I sold it to game stop a couple months ago. And bought the $10 mw2 and i havent looked back.

Best Call of Duty Game!
To me this is the best call of Duty game ever. The Campaign mode is improved and best of all the multiplayer is better. The only thing I dont like as well in this one is the zombies. Black ops 1 zombie maps were way better. But if you love to play Campaign and multiplayer then this is for you.

Same formula, but that formula is now failing.
Black Ops 2. The good ol' Call of Duty gameplay that everyone knows and loves. Or is it? I will be dividing my review into three sections - be wary of the length, as this will be a long one. Campaign The campaign is arguably the biggest improvement in this year's (last year's) installment of Call of Duty. In the campaign you can now impact the story through 6 or 7 big decisions throughout the campaign. These decisions influence the ending you get, and there is multiple endings so there is replay value there. The addition of strike force missions, where you can control ALL ground forces (troops, vehicles, etc.) is a welcome one. All in all, the campaign is probably one of the better ones of the series. Is it the best? Eh, hard to say. Multiplayer Multiplayer is what nearly every Call of Duty player lines up at the midnight launch for. Unfortunately, though, throughout the past couple of years multiplayer has been taking a constant decline in its quality. Multiplayer this time around is plagued with constant lagging, unbalanced weapons and killstreaks, and poorly designed maps. The overall experience of the multiplayer, though trying to be original and interesting, proves to leave a sour taste in the player's mouth. Zombies Zombies has seen quite an upgrade this time around with the integrating of the multiplayer tools in to this already-famous game type. There is a now a zombie theater mode, similar to the ones included in the past few CoDs multiplayer modes. The new perks and game modes are fun to play, such as Grief. In Grief, there are two teams of 2-4 players each, and they are competing against eachother while killing the same zombies. This provides a hectic challenge, which is something that breathes new air into the tried & true formula for Zombies. Overall, I'd have to say Zombies is the greatest game mode here. The sheer amount of content offered, through upgradeable weapons, zombies theater, new perks, new game modes, and new maps, is what makes it stand out from its campaign and multiplayer brethren. Unfortunately, Zombies by itself does not constitute a full-fledged game, and combine that with the overall disappointment and lack of overall upgrades throughout multiplayer, Black Ops 2 just isn't all there. 7/10

This game was great.
This was no ordinary Call of Duty game you might expect. Unlike the other games in the series, this game had so much more. There were multiple endings, so if you wanted variety, this is the CoD game for you. The zombies mode was great, and the DLC is just making it better. The multiplayer is also amazing.

Call of Duty has finally lost it in Multiplayer
Hello ya'll! Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I started with COD 4. I was there with the revolutionary technology, the ol' radar, airstrike, helicopter killstreaks, and the beginning of a great game. COD 5 came around and things got a little more interesting. New perks, guns, gameplay, and zombies. Modern Warfare 2 changed it all. Killstreak setup, customization, etc. Needless to say, I loved that game. It was so revolutionary. Yes there were grenade launchers, one man army, and quick scoping, but it was all in good fun. It was new! COD moved away from that breakthrough in Black Ops 1 and some people complained, but they took a step in the right direction. "Nerfing" snipers, adding a lot more fairness to guns, and gave players the ability to unlock guns they felt suited their play style. MW3 stepped away from that with some random and rather pointless upgrades...wait were there any from MW2...no. Black Ops 2 is the final hope, to try and resurrect the respect COD lost with MW3. Sorry to say, it fails. You'll find yourself with a new interesting pick 10 system (which, in itself, is quite interesting); however, everything else about the game destroys it. Killstreaks aren't the same. Guns are unbalanced. SMG's have huge magazines, huge fire rates, and too long of range. Assault rifles have left as dominant weapons. You'll find yourself always in a lobby with a shotgun opponent who seems to shoot you from yards away (see Model 1887 pre-nerf patch in MW2). Also, snipers return to the dump. Quick scoping, lack of much sway, and ridiculous fire rates describe them. Lastly, the maps are MW3 on steroids: tight corners, always something to hide behind, too many rooms (forget anything like wasteland or literally any map from COD5 (by far, the best maps of any call of duty series). Never have I actually just said "I'm done" with a COD game until now. I just can't take it. Also, target finders...if you, for some reason, convince yourself to buy this game (as I did) you'll be screaming in agony at target finders...
