Your thoughts on the single-player for Black Ops 2?

[Blacksite]

Considering it's a sequel to Black Ops, which some could argue has been better in its single-player campaign than the Modern Warfare titles, how does the sequel fair? Which ending were you most satisfied with?

[Everyday]

the ending was cheesy and i

chose to kill the guy.. what happens if you dont?

and that avenged sevenfold music video at the end.... what were they thinking

He'll escape custody, track down Woods to his retirement home and kill him.

When you don't, there's two possibilities I guess. Depends if Karma still lived to analyse the virus - in my game, DeFalco killed her with a knife! I was pissed as hell because I did every Strike Force mission and tried to get as much information as possible... well, I didn't catch DeFalco and so he lived and Karma's fate was set in stone. And there was one Strike Mission - I couldn't play it because the game didn't stop between the missions and so it was lost! Also had some impact on the ending I think. But to say it in short: Menendez either stays in prison or he escapes, kills a guard (was that David Mason?!?) and then slits Frank Woods' throat (oh yeah, in my game, Alex Mason didn't live anymore cause I shot him in the head ), then he goes to his sister's grave, digs her coffin out, opens it, sits ontop of her decaying body, and lights himself on fire with gasoline. That's it.

I also thought that the Avenged Sevenfold video was just stupid and insulting... I effin love metal/rock, but I don't like Avenged Sevenfold. It was ridiculous to see Woods play the drums, but just for a few seconds. Besides that, it was stupid and unnessecary. I'd rather have it removed from the game but who am I to bitch around about such a small detail.


All in all, the SP campaign of COD Black Ops 2 was nice, but Black Ops 1... I somehow liked it more because the mind-control thing was the central theme of the game. I thought they'd expand and build on this theme, but no... There is some mind control going on (Mason, hello! funny that the Black Ops series' protagonists' name is Mason - Alex and David Mason) with David as well but it wasn't as good as in Black Ops 1. But to be honest, the bad guy and the conflict involving him was well done, and I liked the cutscenes and cinematic moments with Menendez. They were well done. Menendez was always focused, even when he was freaking out and screaming or wounding/killing people and with his subtle smile, he was both sympathic/likeable and creepy at the same time.

Menendez isn't really a "bad" guy, you know. He's a tortured soul. He just snapped and totally lost it. He's crazy, that's all. It surprised me that they made him like this, because the rest of the game is full of generic propaganda.

Overall, I'd say Black Ops 2 is one of the best CODs. COD4, Black Ops and Black Ops 2 had the best SP campaigns. I loved the club level... that was nice. Everybody likes it because it's so well presented. In COD4, the Chernobyl sniper mission was the most memorable, and in Black Ops 1, it was... well not the levels, but the theme of mind-control and that interrogation room where Mason was held, drugged and well... interrogated (/tortured).

I like the campaign but i like modern warfare campaign a lot better

I told myself I would not buy any more cod games, but the positive reviews of the SP changed my mind. WHAT A MISTAKE. I got about 2 hours into it and shut it off. The graphics are awful. Controls like all COD games are shit. The player has no weight to him at all. It plays like your arms are gun weigh less than a feather. I am baffled on how this game is so damn popular, when games like KZ3 and Starhawk are overlooked so much. Granted starhawk is not a fps, but it's still a great game that sold like shit. All these companies are doing is creating new maps and using a really dated engine. Same shit year after year and people still buy it like it's prints money from your console. You can play every single cod game since cod4 side by side and they all look and play the same. It would be like Rovio releasing Angry birds again with different different color grass and sky and selling like crazy. It makes no sense to me. The good news is because I bought the game at kmart, they gave me $15 to use towards another game (Hitman Absolution). I am selling this POS on Craigslist for $45. No more COD for me until they use a new engine.

Haven't finished but those strike missions are terrible. I'm enjoying the campaign so far.

[Kuro]

I have yet to play it. Just jumbed into MP/Zombies.

[YoungMullah88]

[coolguy]

I picked up black ops 2 today my ten year old nephew came over and he asked did u get it yet i said no.
so he said lets go to the store and buy it so we did. the campain is really good it puts u in the action fast.
so far iam likeing the campain. online is awesome

[SchaffinOSX]

I'm only a few missions in, but the campaign is pretty great so far. Definitely an underrated portion of Call of Duty titles.

I really enjoyed the campaign missions, but hated that the strike force missions helped the campaign go better, but those fucking sucked. I hated em. Only did one of them. My second play through, I did every strike force mission.

I did like how the ending can be done differently. I played through twice to get the golden ending.

The golden ending has Karma still alive to stop Raul's cyber attack, harper is dead, and Raul is kept alive to rot in prison. And I did all the strike force missions to make sure China was an ally. So they assisted me in the later missions.

[F34R]

It was decent. Obviously, could have been a lot better, but it's decent to say the least.

Pretty much sums it up.

One of my favorite things was...Custom Loadout!! And the guns you pick can be found in ammo drops throughout the mission.

Nothing beats the ability to sit in a hot tub with a friend, while in game.

Good times of just chillin and killin, back to back bad-asses.

[IcEmAn95]

All i got to say, AMAZING!

[Kuro]

I've played through 3 missions so far and I'm liking it pretty fun.

[SupraGaz]

Just completed it today and rewound the missions to make afew alternate decisions. I was really impressed, thoroughly enjoyed it and rather than just the ending being different from decisions made, it has an effect throughout the rest of the game which adds abit more variety.

With the strike force missions, I struggled to complete them using the top down view ordering teams here and there so ended up just controller a soldier and clearing the objectives myself with the occasional use of holding L2 if I needed some back up with a squad. I found this way much easier to complete them.

Was gutted Reznov wasn't in it other than a token gesture appearance, he was my fave character from the first Black Ops and would have liked him to have been involved abit more, especially with how often they referred to the whole soviet brain wash of Maison etc.

Overall though I was chuffed with it, would have liked a bit more stealth when infiltrating afew locations and would have liked to have used the cloak device that some enemies had.

Could sit through another playthrough quite easily as I always pick up on something I may have missed during the first or second sitting

[Kuro]

Almost done I gotta say this campaign was amazing love every moment of it!

[A7MAD]

I completed the SP twice and did things differently each time, got the two different endings although there are some things you can do which also result in either having some of the characters around...

The biggest WTF moment was when Alex Mason rocks up in his old age and claims Woods was a shit shot I wish they answered where he was!

I intend to complete the original Black Ops on Veteran, something I did not do the first time plus I have fragmented memory regarding the first Sp story.

I've played through twice, and it is a bitch doing all the strike force missions.

He was the guy hudson told you to execute in one of the earlier missions. You shoot him somewhere else besides the leg, and so he lived.
