Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 Reviewed

It's 6pm the day of the Call of Duty launch - that must mean our review can now go live! I played the absolute hell out of Call of Duty Black Ops 2 to bring this review to the world, and as always it's the greatest review about this game anywhere.

What if I told you Black Ops 2 has multiple endings? What if it has a loadout system in singleplayer - some of which let you access previously blocked parts of an enormous map? What if the multiplayer pushes the concept of the solo-camper even further from relevance? What if, from right now, everything you thought you knew about Black Ops 2 was wrong?

Yeah, this isn't your older brother's Call of Duty baby - Black Ops 2 is a different beast altogether. Still, as far as Treyarch take the game, I worry they don't take it far enough... but to find out why you'll have to read the review!

Glad atleast they are trying new things. Still a no go for me thou. Don't think I'll be buying a call of duty game until we get the next Xbox, It's far to long in the tooth.

Rare Earth elements are an order of the periodic table Joaby, not just rare elements.

"GameArena travelled to California courtesy of Activision to review Call of Duty Black Ops 2. "

hahahaha, it reads to be better than I thought it would be, but it's still a console port that isn't worth the price they charge.

had the opportunity to play it earlier today, While they have some fun stuff to do in terms of how to do missions (eg the mission with the wingsuits, there's some VTOLs parked under covers and you can hack them with the perk and use the cannon to clear the area, and hacking a security bot (for some reason the base in that looked like Human Revolution, but the bots looked like the little ones in the original Deus Ex) They still have the quicktime problem of black ops, "press s to swim" isn't fun Treyarch :\
