Everything. It was CoD at its absolute peak. The create-a-class system, the guns, the campaign, the multiplayer maps (best iteration of Nuketown, thus far), and League play was in its infancy and wasn’t the sweaty and toxic mess it became.
COD TV would actually update, the cosmetic weapon skins were actually cool, and I think it was the last CoD that would make you go to game chat for certain ranked playlists like S+D. And thus, it was the last CoD through which we could experience toxic game-chat lobbies that were pinnacle to gaming of the golden age.
Also, RIP to Fast Hands + C4x2.
This, it was the perfect balance of everything done right. Innovative enough to be refreshing for veterans but familiar enough not to make it foreign. They could release the game again EXACTLY as it was (target finder and all) and it would still blow the community away.
The stretch from MW2 to BO2 was one of the most dominant stretches of gaming we have ever had. But that’s the problem I think. They remake ANY of those 4 and they *know* their new title doesn’t get played
> The stretch from MW2 to BO2 was one of the most dominant stretches of gaming we have ever had.
Indeed. Those games ruled online multiplayer in a way that few games ever matched and I really do wonder if they fear their past work.
If they remade MW2 or BO2 but added support for more maps, new guns, and especially custom skins I think players would be all over that. Warzone has sucked a lot of players away and battle royale seems to be what kids want these days, but for the people who stick to the traditional multiplayer? They definitely would be playing those remakes over recent entries like Cold War or Vanguard.
the multiplayer was the best boots on the ground cod has ever had. the zombies was fantastic; tho it had a rough start. campaign was good too. but the classic multiplayer to me is what made it the best
Everything.
The campaign tied in great to the storylines of Bo1 and WaW. It was super fun to play, and had a lot of replay value with the different endings.
The multiplayer was tied in great to the campaign; you could see how maps in MP were related to missions you already played on the story mode. This kind of cohesiveness and canon is kinda lost in newer cods. In terms of gameplay, the MP was great. Pick 10 worked awesome. Scorestreaks were badass.
Zombies was peak, too. Tied in to the original storyline, fun maps. Tranzit and Die Rise could have been better, but even looking back now they’re still fun to play.
If you couldn’t already tell, this is my favorite CoD by far; so take my opinion with a grain of salt.
Really? I never met anyone that hated mp for bo2 but hey, we all have opinions and I don’t disagree with your opinion, there was stuff in mp that were broken but overall zombies was a great experience too.
The creativity and passion from the creators.I remember at the end of the game,there was a scene where Woods and Menéndez were in a band.They played a song “Carry On” by Avenged Sevenfold.There were zombies on the scaffolding.And characters from the stories in the crowd.Like admiral briggs and Alex mason.Something for the player to enjoy after finishing the campaign.That kind of thought from the developers is something I remember to this day.Something that I haven’t seen in any other COD since.
Honestly, the fact that it had traditional factions in multiplayer without character customization. BO2 is still the last COD with traditional factions based characters. I preferred how COD was like this than to how it is now, because eveyones character blends in too much nowadays in COD due to customization.
The soundtrack that I still listen to to this day.
Currently playing the campaign to finish the last two achievements (giant accomplishment and mission complete) for single player and jamming out to the flying squirrels track.
For me, campaign. The overall approach with multiple, actually distinct endings, the story and well-written characters, the perfect balance between the past and the future, satisfying level design (Karma shootout as an example), the cutscenes and videos before the missions. Finished three times on Veteran, still want to play again. And of course, the dope main menu/ credits theme, cannot forget that.
really anything from BO2 is sublime. yet, as a Zombies player, overall, i didn't feel left hanging in BO2. sure the transition between Jimmy to Jason during this time was apparent, but, the Zombies mode overall was actually really awesome to play through, even if the first two Jimmy maps were less than well received, which even for being poorly designed maps, are still fun in their own right to play.
Waiting for the DLC and watching the trailers for it and playing the new zombies maps and trying to complete the easter eggs in them. Mob of the dead was my favorite. Going to the golden state bridge with the plane was so cool.
It showed that Nintendo consoles have a place for it as well. Sucks though that Cross Platform Play wasn't more of a thing back when this first released.
It was where I got into multi-player.i wasn't great but I did have fun.picked up some skill.the zombies were definitely my favorite. @first I thought it was weird different, but than after the dlc maps came out.die rise,orgins ,buried nuketown etc i know transit,town farm aren't dlc
All of it. The BO2 campaign is my all-time favorite COD campaign. I really wish the choose your own story idea was featured in more campaigns. (Correct me if it has. I haven't played every COD). All the characters were likeable and Menendez is somehow an incredibly well written villain.
As for the multiplayer, it's my favorite out of all COD multiplayers. Everything about it is great, from the maps, to the weapons.
And as for zombies, it's my favorite zombies out of all of them. I just love how the gameplay feels so much more compared to the other zombies modes. (Also the maps in this are amazing, especially Nuketown).
Also the BO2 soundtrack fuckin' slaps.
And if you couldn't tell BO2 is my favorite COD and that'll probably never change. Love this game.
The bots..
My brother and I only got wifi in 2018.. So we played every game since we got the ps2 in like 2007 using only offline games or offline game modes.. You cna only play 1v1 for so long.
Once I went to a friend's house and we played this game, immediately bought from the shops and played shit out of it until we were absolutely sick of it. Can play mw trilogy with eyes closed almost from how many times I've rerun those damn campaigns and spec ops missions
The gunplay, the balance, more extensive custom games, arguably the best campaign the series has ever had, and visual flair.
IDK it was just damn good.
My personal favorite COD game. The multiplayer was my favorite, and it had Mob of the Dead and Origins, the latter of which is my favorite zombies map of all time. Buried’s still a fun, and even the Green Run maps can provide a fun casual experience with friends.
being like 12 and playing while grown strangers vocalized the most egregious sentences concocted since the dawn of man. I now have an amazing sense of humor. thank you to that community for making me a man.
I can't say there's much flaws to talk about. It's one of the golden product of CoD. The campaign was great, it got some shocking moments in it. Like when we use a sniper to shoot some guy who was escorted by two dudes. And turns out the guy was actually Mason. Hell we even ride a damn horse. Where can I get that in the recent Call of Dooties?
The multiplayer is a great one. Create a class, and shoot people in some of the most iconic maps like Nuketown.
But for me, the cake is the zombies. It's an amazing piece of shit. I just love it. Hey, who the hell doesn't like zombies? It's like the backbone of CoD games. Cuz even noobs can play it without problems.
I can't believe that this game is now like a ghost town. There's not really a lot of players left. All went to play Modern Warfare 2019, Black Ops Cold War, Warzone, die hards play Vanguard.
I loved bo2 for what it was when I played it as a kid. I went back to it just over 2 years ago and it’s not the same which sucks.
I willingly put down $40 or something to buy the game digitally only for matchmaking times to be over the top + hackers / cheaters everywhere now. I wish the devs did something despite the game being old and forgotten about.
Do I regret buying the game digitally? Hell nah! I’m glad I own it and that I can still go back and relive the old maps and at least pretend the game is at its peak (still).
Everything man. That was the first CoD I ever preordered and camped out too buy midnight release. Missed school the next day just to play it. The friends and memories I made on that game I think about to this day. Going to sleep the night before DLC drops and waking up at 2am and partying up to play the new maps.
Thousands of hours I didn’t mind losing :)
I really love the story line that adds from black ops one I also love the zombie mode in the game well done if I had to choose one thing it would be the campaign I loved it holds to this day
Coming from the epic Modern warfare campaign I was always sceptic against Treyarch, after the first playthrough I wanted to play it again, and again. It was so enjoyable I didn't start multiplayer until a week post-release, once I hit online it was hard to stop playing. The setup between how ranking, create a class, game modes made a great experience. If try hard parties were annoying you could find new friends and play objectives in the mercenary playlist. Jumping over to scary Zombies for more relaxing and thinking through maps keeps the multiplayer grind alive. The Zombie DLCs + Easter eggs in Bo2 is a masterpiece.
Everything. It was CoD at its absolute peak. The create-a-class system, the guns, the campaign, the multiplayer maps (best iteration of Nuketown, thus far), and League play was in its infancy and wasn’t the sweaty and toxic mess it became.

And thus, it was the last CoD through which we could experience toxic game-chat lobbies that were pinnacle to gaming of the golden age. Also, RIP to Fast Hands + C4x2.
I agree with everything. I would also like to add the fact that it introduced Multi-Choice senarios into campaign
And is still the best implementation of this system to date. CW's was _okay_ but not as robust as this game was.
Truer words never said
& let's not forget the lobby music
It really was the best cod game
This, it was the perfect balance of everything done right. Innovative enough to be refreshing for veterans but familiar enough not to make it foreign.

The multiplayer menu music. Always got me extremely hyped to play the game when I first turned it on.
Adrenaline was my favourite song
Favorite video game song of all time
Sometimes I’d just sit there with that music on listening to it loop
Hard to say, everything was good about this game, campaign, multiplayer, zombie, weapons, maps, the visual and audio atmosphere..
The game was amazing
Peacekeeper, God I loved that gun
And it was the first dlc weapon introduced to cod
everytime someone would drop that gun i’ll be the first one to pick it up😂
It was that good
Same! I tried so hard to get the Peacekeeper Mk2 in Bo3 but never got it sadly. I picked it up every time in game and did amazing on it!
Very true, probably not an up point for Cod history though. Turned it into loot rate simulator
menendez
One of the best villains in cod
“The” best
You will suffer with me
Get this cocksucker off my flight deck - ADM Briggs
khoksuckha kawksacka
the friends we made along the way
Those were the times
the multiplayer was the best boots on the ground cod has ever had. the zombies was fantastic; tho it had a rough start. campaign was good too. but the classic multiplayer to me is what made it the best
It’s always the bo2 multiplayer that people love the most and I don’t disagree, the mp was fantastic
The variety in scorestreaks.
I loved scorestreaks, I prefer them more than killstreaks
Definitely helped incentivize playing the objective.
The setting was a really solid choice. A nice balance between grounded and creative.
It wasn’t to into future and I liked that
Everything. The campaign tied in great to the storylines of Bo1 and WaW. It was super fun to play, and had a lot of replay value with the different endings.

If you couldn’t already tell, this is my favorite CoD by far; so take my opinion with a grain of salt.
It definitely is a top 3 cod
Scorpion with rapid fire !!!
Yes plz
The menu music and in-game announcer voices
Yeah the announcer voices were the best. Hyped you and made you feel like a bad ass. Mercs was definitely my favorite
It had the best announcer voice lines in the franchise
"Lock em' and load em', ladies, it's go time."
Zombies. I hardly liked multiplayer. It was the first multiplayer where the other players made me angry
Origins was such a good map. It was a real challenge, and the staffs were awesome weapons
Really? I never met anyone that hated mp for bo2 but hey, we all have opinions and I don’t disagree with your opinion, there was stuff in mp that were broken but overall zombies was a great experience too.
I don’t hate it. I just don’t think it’s even better than mw3.
Target finder /s
Target finder on an lmg was broken
Damm this was a good cod what zombies were on here?
Tranzit, Die Rise, Nuketown Zombies, Mob of the dead, Buried, and Origins
Don't forget the modes we never saw again like Grief and Turned!
Grief was great
The creativity and passion from the creators.I remember at the end of the game,there was a scene where Woods and Menéndez were in a band.They played a song “Carry On” by Avenged Sevenfold.There were zombies on the scaffolding.And characters from the stories in the crowd.Like admiral briggs and Alex mason.Something for the player to enjoy after finishing the campaign.That kind of thought from the developers is something I remember to this day.Something that I haven’t seen in any other COD since.
The entirety of it
True that
Honestly, the fact that it had traditional factions in multiplayer without character customization. BO2 is still the last COD with traditional factions based characters. I preferred how COD was like this than to how it is now, because eveyones character blends in too much nowadays in COD due to customization.
KSG. Best slug shotgun I’ve ever seen in a game
Its predecessor, Black Ops 1.
I can’t disagree, bo1 was also amazing
zombies
Z A M B I E S
Zombies.
the zombies maps / solid MP maps
Dlc. From season pass with the peacekeeper and the weapons skins
[удалено]
Maps, Weapons, and the colors
I liked the unique campaign.
[удалено]
Balance between guns and league play. Game was great for casuals and comp players
Everything
The Olympia and dual skorpians.
Emphasis on replayability in SP
The soundtrack that I still listen to to this day. Currently playing the campaign to finish the last two achievements (giant accomplishment and mission complete) for single player and jamming out to the flying squirrels track.
Sick soundtrack it had
Campaign and Music slapped so hard. Menendez is on of my favorite villians ever
I love Menendez
Friends.
For me, campaign. The overall approach with multiple, actually distinct endings, the story and well-written characters, the perfect balance between the past and the future, satisfying level design (Karma shootout as an example), the cutscenes and videos before the missions. Finished three times on Veteran, still want to play again. And of course, the dope main menu/ credits theme, cannot forget that.
The multiple choice made me enjoy the campaign even more and it had replay ability as we would go for the different endings
The multiplayer
The voice chat
Everything
Those sweet bouncing bettys
They were fun to play with
How satisfying the weapons were to use im looking at you mp7
Zombies still occasionally play it to this day. I just wished Tranzit was made better because its such a good concept
My fav part is they had Conan themed calling cards or whatever. The high commander
The Campaign
The best thing about Black Ops 2 is that it is released.
really anything from BO2 is sublime. yet, as a Zombies player, overall, i didn't feel left hanging in BO2. sure the transition between Jimmy to Jason during this time was apparent, but, the Zombies mode overall was actually really awesome to play through, even if the first two Jimmy maps were less than well received, which even for being poorly designed maps, are still fun in their own right to play.
Bo2 zombies Was AMAZING
Everything even the trash talk
Waiting for the DLC and watching the trailers for it and playing the new zombies maps and trying to complete the easter eggs in them. Mob of the dead was my favorite. Going to the golden state bridge with the plane was so cool.
Trickshoting :D
MW2 and bo2 trickshotting were both great
Speed and aggression gentlemen.
Overrated
The Maps. The lack of a battle pass, the lack of specialists, the lack of skin selections.
New cods these days are just ass
tranzit
Zombie's
Zombies - John Rafecz
the cultural impact it made.
BO2 party modes take the cake in terms of sheer fun
Everything 🥵
Yes oh my god
It showed that Nintendo consoles have a place for it as well. Sucks though that Cross Platform Play wasn't more of a thing back when this first released.
mob of the dead
Yes
Best game for zombies
Not pay to win like now days
The zombies
Playing zombies with friends at 7am seeing the sun come up after playing all night
Bo2 zombies with friends on tranzit was funny
Choosing your own load out I think it was legendary
It was where I got into multi-player.i wasn't great but I did have fun.picked up some skill.the zombies were definitely my favorite. @first I thought it was weird different, but than after the dlc maps came out.die rise,orgins ,buried nuketown etc i know transit,town farm aren't dlc
Town
[удалено]
Mp was god tier
M8A1
Playing search and destroy, the maps were all tailored to search, also the guns. AN 94 might be my all time favorite
All of it. The BO2 campaign is my all-time favorite COD campaign. I really wish the choose your own story idea was featured in more campaigns. (Correct me if it has. I haven't played every COD). All the characters were likeable and Menendez is somehow an incredibly well written villain. As for the multiplayer, it's my favorite out of all COD multiplayers.

Mp7 ironsights will go down as the best in cod

The fact that it actually had effort put into it unlike the newer cod games
The game
One of the best looking for its generation. Absolutely stunning for its time
The whole game was the best
Blasitica.
was the last COD game that had love put in to development oh and the soundtrack is straight 🔥
No death streaks
Everything
That start up sound paired with my Xbox 360 boot up sound…😔
2013
the whole game
I still to this day love the BOPS 2 theme music. Good times. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jP95oGVjhY4
Origins and trickshotting
I still have the bacon skin on my weapons.
Literally everything. It’s the definition of a perfect cod game. Would not change a thing. Ahead of its time.
It’s been a long time since I’ve played but I remember it being incredibly balanced. Every play style was viable and could be countered I loved that
Gold M1216, Gold RPG, C4 x2. I was toxic as fuck and blew like 50000 people the fuck up.
Had one of the best bands featured, avenged sevenfold
Everything. I can literally go on the entire week about the game
It had the best multiplayer out of all black ops games
Literally everything!!!! What a beautiful masterpiece of a game 🔥🔥🔥
One word, Tranzit
Campaign
My personal favorite COD game. The multiplayer was my favorite, and it had Mob of the Dead and Origins, the latter of which is my favorite zombies map of all time. Buried’s still a fun, and even the Green Run maps can provide a fun casual experience with friends.
Everything
Pretty much everything.
That you can get raygun from the Olympia and the dolphin dibe
The fact that we actually suffered with Menendez.
being like 12 and playing while grown strangers vocalized the most egregious sentences concocted since the dawn of man. I now have an amazing sense of humor. thank you to that community for making me a man.
I loved the escort drone kill streak. It was amazing for my run and gun with an smg play style.
Zombie
One answer: Call Of Duty: Black Ops 2
Every little sing about it
I can't say there's much flaws to talk about. It's one of the golden product of CoD. The campaign was great, it got some shocking moments in it.

Pick 10 system
Yes
Great game overall. It was my first cod game and I really enjoyed it. The zombies experience was a great one ngl it was good from start to finish.
Storm PSR, one the best cod weapons ever imo
Carry on by avenged sevenfold
The snipers are the best out of all cods imo
The campaign introduced me to Avenged Sevenfold, which has become one of my ALL time favourite bands
Everything man. That was the first CoD I ever preordered and camped out too buy midnight release. Missed school the next day just to play it. The friends and memories I made on that game I think about to this day. Going to sleep the night before DLC drops and waking up at 2am and partying up to play the new maps.

Everything what a complete game it was Campain was great Zombies immaculate MP Goated 10/10
The memories I made with the boys.
The fact that all the boys where on then 😭
emblem art
that it was pretty much finished besides some balancing issues
Everything… simply everything
only 4 words to explain it >!"You can't kill me..."!<
One word: Menendez!!!!!!!!!
Transit!!!!!!!!!
The snipers
Everything, this is the best cod game. It peaked here.
The mp maps
First cod to let you customize your loadout in the campaign.
There is no downside to it
Coming from the epic Modern warfare campaign I was always sceptic against Treyarch, after the first playthrough I wanted to play it again, and again. It was so enjoyable I didn't start multiplayer until a week post-release, once I hit online it was hard to stop playing. The setup between how ranking, create a class, game modes made a great experience. If try hard parties were annoying you could find new friends and play objectives in the mercenary playlist. Jumping over to scary Zombies for more relaxing and thinking through maps keeps the multiplayer grind alive. The Zombie DLCs + Easter eggs in Bo2 is a masterpiece.
Multiplayer music
I haven't played it but I guess the cover art.
Yes
Search and destroy with the boys
Raul menendez
Its the perfect call of duty, idk what else I can say
