This game is so fun, fast paced, and filled with lots of things to do. The weapons and maps in MP are so fun. And the campaign is really cool too. The zombies mode is also really fun to play with other people.

Black ops two has to be my favorite call of duty zombies game ever. The newer ones are more modern and that’s fine but the simplicity of black ops two campaign, multiplayer, and zombies is unbeatable. Nostalgia to the max and well worth replaying.

Call of Duty Black Ops 2 offers more of the great action and presentation that only the Call of Duty games offer. It's movie quality in terms of story, visuals, and audio. If you like these types of games, it doesn't get any better. The multiplayer experience is very entertaining and it will extend the life of the game for a very long time.

Black ops 2 is a good game the Multi player still works, not that much of lag but there’s a lot of hackers, I haven’t played the campaign I’m waiting for bo1 and I played World at war, so I don’t have a opinion on it but what I have Heard that it is good. The zombies mod is good the map that comes with it is not the best but green wood is fun and I find my self playing it over and over again and the DLC is ok but I fell it’s has to much

We enjoyed Call of Duty: Black Ops so much we had to get Black Ops II. My grandsons are experts at these games, I merely a novice but with this Black Ops II I'm showing improvement. If you like the usual soldiers in Call of Duty, you have to have this version. The weapons, graphics, and missions are superior to all others before. The mission just keep getting more and more intense. Get over to best Buy for Black Ops II then be sure to check for Call of Duty Black Ops Ghost.

I Love It! I am not a "gamer", but I love to play on line. I like the maps, weapons and graphics. This version is more colorful than prior versions. I think I move up in rank and gain weapons, attachments and perks faster. I only play on line and have not played the storyline or zombie sections of the game. I am an old guy but just love to play. I think I need the replacer though. Does anyone have his number?

Overall the game is solid. If your into the single player mode you'll love it. Multiplayer is also good. Server lags more than Modern Warfare though. The maps are awesome, but there's so much to them that there are a lot of "campers" hiding in all the balconies and corners. Beware. The audio in this game is amazing. Graphics are sweet too.

If you liked the first one than you are going to like this one. The story line jumps like the first one did, so expect that. The futuristic weapons in the main campaign are fun. The RTS element to the game adds something for those who were a fan of RTS. The RTS allows you to jump into one of the things you are controlling and give a multiplayer feel as you play it.

I have been buying COD since Modern Warfare (#4). I do not like the futuristic feel to this game. This game is difficult to play. Kill times are very fast and the maps are too small. There is a lot of head-camping style gameplay from players online, people are either cheap like that or the maps encourage it. I preferred the original Black Ops, MW2, and MW3. The zombies game is just ok. Prefer der riese and kino der toten.
The most positive aspect to the game is the campaign. It feels like you're in a movie and the fly suits are awesome.

If you liked the other games in this series, you'll like this one.
Campaign - Fun gameplay that keeps you interested and motivated to fight alongside your colleagues. What's also great is the multiple perspectives you get as you play through the campaign, making the story more 3-Dimensional.
Multiplayer - With tons of customization in weapons, you can really take your gameplay style to the next level. I'm a run and gun kind of guy, so I take lots of armor, stunners, and fast weapons to kill before being killed. There are plenty of different maps, types of games, and even levels of difficulty.
Downside - I played Zombies for a while and I just can't get into. This coming from a guy who's played his fair share of Dead Island and Left 4 Dead 1 and 2. It needs a storyline, and frankly the one they have is really weak. But hey, what do you expect from an add-on to an already robust game

Multiplayer with split screen, system link, and bots with various difficulty levels makes for one of the best experiences for lan parties and Xbox live. The campaign is top notch as well. This is a second copy I purchased for Lan parties.

The Online play is fun and the new weapons and perks system is really nice. Allows for a good balance in play. The campaign was fun but a little short. My biggest complaint in the game was in the online Hardcore there is no Domination, which is my personal preference for online game types. Otherwise great game.

Very well written story line. The multiplayer is the same as usual but I believe this is the best call of duty so far because its based in the future which gave the developers a more creative chance to incorporate some of their ideas into the game which makes the gadgets better and the guns better

The campaign has a good story. It bounces back in fourth in time between the 60's and the near future. Good variety of weapons and settings. This game really shines in the online experience.

An absolute classic CoD game. Zombies are awesome and you can still cue into multiplayer lobbies. Really fun to switch it up with this one during quarantine.
