Not only are the graphics enhanced, but Advanced Warfare technology makes it possible to hold a pistol and riot shield simultaneously.

"Black Ops II" came under scrutiny when it was released because it also includes a character resembling former U.S. Gen. David Petraeus, who had just left his role as CIA director after revelations of his extramarital affair.

Still my second favorite part of the hilarious insanity that is Blops2's campaign.

As someone who never made it past the first two stages of MW3/BLOPS 1, is out really any good?


Also, why would anybody give a gently caress about what Gameinformer had to say? They're nothing but a glorified shopping catalogue for GameStop.

You fight Soviet tanks on horseback.

One of the levels has you play as a rage-crazy axe murderer.

There is a slow-mo dubstep gunfight in a nightclub on Libertopia

They got Oliver North to shill for a game where the principle villain is a Nicaraguan who's family was killed by the Contras.

If you prefer the more serious and sober campaign style of Modern Warfare 1, you won't like Blops 2 but if you want to see what its like when a developer straight-up stops taking their game seriously, play Black Ops 2.

No one ever mentions the first mission where you charge side by side with Jonas Savimbi. There's a pretty clear message in these setpieces.

I dunno, BLOPS 2's campaign seemed tame and reserved when compared to Price surviving a helicopter crash, falling through glass, and lighting up a cigar after hanging the villain.

THE LIAR
I don't consider anything in Black Ops 2's campaign as offensive as Ghosts and the fact that you literally patrolled a giant concrete wall that was there to stop the browns from getting in and destroying America.

Also the fact that America thought it was cool to put a giant loving railgun in space and when the Federation hijacks it, OH MY GOD WHAT A HORRIBLE HORRIBLE LOSS OF LIFE, but then when South America builds their giant gently caress off space gun and we hijack it and wipe tons of them out, gently caress yeah space America :911:

Black Ops 2 was fun in its insanity instead of retarded, is what I'm getting at.

God, I hate Ghosts.

Still a distant second to the gold standard for offensive, badly designed campaigns. (25:05)

Having two tiered perks isn't that big a deal, since you'll get the pro version eventually.

The only thing that matters is just what level of bullshit the stealth perks will be ( gently caress you MW3 Assassin Pro! :argh: ).

Haven't they hinted at some kind of active camo? Maybe the pro tier for whatever stealth perk they have will have you just be literally invisible.
