Saying that a Call of Duty title is a contender for Shooter of the Year is almost clichéd but the truth is that Treyarch have taken a series that even staunch fans can’t fully deny was beginning to feel stale and rolled the dice – and not just with the multiplayer mode. Where Modern Warfare’s campaigns have become increasingly throwaway from game to game, Black Ops 2′s shapeable narrative changes the game and is hopefully portentous of the franchise’s future. This year has seen some great shooters in Halo 4, Borderlands 2, Spec Ops: The Line and Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, and to say that Black Ops 2 surpasses them all would simply be untrue – but only just. Despite its quality, Treyarch’s campaign falls slightly short of Halo 4′s sandbox brilliance, and can’t match Spec Ops: The Line’s harrowing narrative. The multiplayer, on the other hand, remains peerless. Huge, deep, streamlined and varied, it raises the bar yet further for online shooters – especially with the new focus on eSports and CoD-casting. 343 Industries may run a very close second this year, but Call of Duty is still the boss on the battlefield.Read full review
After rigorously playing Black Ops II on the Xbox 360 back in my college days when it first came out, I attempted to replicate that feeling purchasing it again for my PS3 not too long ago. Little did I know that, now mayyyy not be the best time to go for this game because of two main things: 1. Black ops 3 is out, but black ops 2 is honestly the faster paced and origin behind the better Call of Duty games 2. HUGE REASON: PS3 servers of the game are hacked big time right now. Currently there is this slow moving hack that affects a good bunch of lobbies... This just crushes the legacy behind the Black Ops series, considering how Black Ops 2 to many including myself was the most ideal Call of Duty. If you want the game and definitely like Call of Duty, go for it. Just not on Ps3.....

I just bought a PS3 again, and love the Call of Duty series. The annoying thing about these games is you always have to install updates before you play the first time. This can take a while. If you have played Call of Duty, this game will be familiar.

I ordered it the price was reasonable even though I could have got a cheaper a GameStop I don't have time because of the way I work to go to the store that's why I order on eBay. So I bought a game that does not work and I don't know how to return it. The box was chewed up like an animal got a hold of it. But I'm not trying to play the box I would have really preferred the game to work or at least read in my PlayStation. It was my son's Christmas present it was one thing that he wanted Yes it was cheap I spent more money on other stuff but this was the one thing that he specified that he wanted so basically he has nothing for Christmas that he wants.

At first I was all like "AH! I am dead again!" and then I was like "PEW! PEW Gotcha! Aaand I'm dead again." and now I'm all "DIE YOU 12 YEAR OLD B@#$%^&* WITH BETTER REFLEXES THAN ME!" It's pretty fun...
