Call of Duty: Black Ops 2

[MSH-Hitman]

Surprised no one is talking about this here. I rented it and put a little time into the game. No XBL, so I can't do multiplayer, but I did play a round of zombies by myself and did some singleplayer. Zombies is pretty much the same, though the new ideas the on the move survival with the bus is kinda cool, but didn't really do too much. Singleplayer is the same also and even the side "Strike Missions" that I thought were going to be a part of the actual story campaign, or just optional side mission stuff. Sure the strike missions will go away if you don't do them after a few story missions, but it just feels like all they did was tack on a objective version of the MW3 survival mode to the singleplayer to kinda artificially inflate the singleplayer length.

Overall, not bad, more of the same, glad I rented it lol

MY THOUGHTS!!!!

The campaign was pretty good I think. It's cool that you can change the outcome by making some choices. There's not as many choices as they'd like you to think but there's a good amount. I played through it on veteran in one sitting, and I'd have to say it's the easiest CoD on veteran out of them all. I didn't get stuck anywhere at all for any extended period of time. Took maybe 8-9 hours to beat it. And about the strike missions on veteran....hard as fuck. I couldn't do it. I guess they would be possible to do on veteran but they are just stupid hard. I don't like the concept of them anyways.

Haven't played zombies but I've seen videos and honestly I'm a little disappointed in it. Was expecting more out of it but it just looks the same. Probably won't be playing it much.

Multiplayer seems pretty solid, haven't played much but it's pretty fun. I like the new create a class system. So far the maps seem pretty meh, nothing spectacular, but the game feels good overall. It's definitely better than MW3 that's for sure, not much can be worse than that shit.

I didn't like the "tactical view" for the strike missions. It feels really sloppy and not very intuitive, even after I did the tutorial. With the one I did, since you only need two parts to survive, I put everything on one point and then spent the time limit being a soldier and defending the other one. Was much easier, though man, sometimes the soldiers do not want to move. I figure it was something they added in abit late and didn't get time to fine tune, cause it's just not done super well.

This game is horrible online, and it truly pains me to say that after how much I 1) loved the first Black Ops and 2) hated MW3.

I constantly feel like I'm playing 1.5 seconds behind everyone else. I've never experienced such horrible Wanted bullets until this game, and my bullets do absolutely nothing. I've captured clips and slowed them down just to see if I'm missing - I'm not. The game's just broken, at least on my connection.

I can tell it'd be a great online shooter if it WORKED.

I know K/D doesn't mean everything, blah blah. However, I had like a 2.6 in Black Ops 1, and I have lower than a 1.4 in this game. You don't get that bad overnight. :/

Good thing zombies and the campaign are fun.

I don't have the "lag compensation" (that's what everyone's calling the issue you have sorasgoof) problem that a lot of people are reporting, but that's probably because my Xbox is plugged straight into the wall and I'm hosting the game 9/10 because of how good the internet is at the University of Alabama lol.

Even when I am not host though, I've never noticed it. I know the exact issue though, as described by many:

You shoot, the bullets HIT the enemy multiple times (and register hit markers), and suddenly you die without even taking prior damage. The KillCam shows that your killer only took one bullet, but freely pumped about 3-4 into you.


I'm sure Treyarch will work it out if it's this widespread of an issue though. Black Ops 2 is addicting as hell, I haven't felt so addicted to a CoD game since CoD4.

This is the first CoD in which I haven't beaten the campaign within the first week of release on veteran since CoD 3. Got stuck on the first Strike Force mission and just gave up for the moment. I'll probably beat it over winter break...

Zombies is Zombies still. Haven't played more than a few rounds of TranZit with my friends, but is was pretty cool.

But multiplayer... I really enjoy it so far. Treyarch did a good job with the guns. Very balanced - much more so than BlOps 1 - and each weapon seems to have both pros and cons. Also, the "pick 10" system they added is really fun to play around with for create-a-class.

I do wish the public game matchmaking was a bit more lax with the whole true-skill stuff (isn't that what League Play is for?), but I've adapted to the challenge for the most part. You just need to be a bit more patient and stealthy is all... And if you run into a bad lobby, just back out.

I am not as good at this game as I was at previous CoDs, my k/d is just sitting at around 1.00 all the time. I don't know why, but there isn't anywhere you can go to see how many times you died, only your amount of kills.
Here's a video that shows a rather bizarre death. I believe I would have survived that gunfight if it had not happened
