Black Ops 2 is actually kind of fun

"Today I bring to you something I stumbled across during my usual adventures on Xbox Live. Something so awesome that at first, I didn’t realise what it was until it had happened a few times, and what’s more, I found it in a game I normally try my absolute best to avoid; Call of Duty Black Ops 2." by Martin Toney

I don't like cod online either but that doesn't mean I have to whine about it in every cod article.

Too many people jump on bandwagons.

Whatever is popular to say, people on their blogsites will say it.

In all reality, this is probably the BEST COD game yet in terms of content and quality of play, along with maps.

It's not perfect and we are all honestly ready for the Next Gen shooters and what they have to offer, but that doesn't detract from Black Ops 2 being an awesome game.

MariaHelFutura4165d ago

Alot of people do entirely enjoy playing COD..... I'm just not one of them. But those who do, do your thing.

charted4165d ago

COD has it own fun factor compared to other fps games mainly BF3. To me the main fun factor for COD games are when you have mates over you can just play 4 player split screen and vs each other. BF3 does not allow that. But what BF3 cater is a massive online maps to play. Thats BF3's fun factor. Each game has it own fun factor.

Most people who hate either of these games are headless chocks who just despise one or the other by following the crowd. If you dont have friends coming over (or none at all), then that is a different issue.

TheFirstClassic4165d ago

Yeah the thing cod has over bf is the local multiplayer for sure. I hated the online for mw3, but that survival mode is really fun with splitscreen. They have different reasons to like them.

ahronith4164d ago

I have not been enjoying the last few CoDs, but i will admit Black Ops 2 is probably the most fun with CoD ive had since World at War.

anti COD fanboys are the most annoying fanboys in video games. i don't even own the game but jesus get a life

MikeMyers4165d ago (Edited 4165d ago )

Well since this topic is talking about how some actually enjoy playing Black Ops II ( or any Call of Duty games for that matter), it is our duty to level the playing field and whine about how all the games are the same and rush out to MetaCritic and give the game a 0 (or if we are feeling extremely generous that day a 1) without even playing it and troll every article on N4G about the series even in topics that don't mention the franchise. Am I cool or what?

Statix4164d ago (Edited 4164d ago )

I'm not a COD anti-fanboy at all. I enjoyed COD4 and Black Ops 1 a lot. Of course, the series recently went down the shitter in terms of online gameplay, ever since they added horrible lag compensation to MW3 and Black Ops 2, rendering the game unplayable and rage-inducing at times.

It is also my personal opinion that Battlefield 3 is a far superior game. I don't by any means hate COD on an automatic basis, however. If they can ever patch out the crappy lag of Black Ops 2, I can actually see it being quite a polished, fun, and competitive online shooter. As it stands, I sold it after 2 days because the lag compensation issues killed all enjoyment for me. I don't enjoy going negative k/d in every game, sorry.

roadkillers4165d ago

Its kind of fun... I'm a big fan of One in the Chamber.

Dovahkiin4165d ago

I agree, there is no denying that it is fun. One in the chamber is great, as is gun game.

Xbox $70 billion bet paid out

fr0sty252d ago

Guess that's what happens when there's no good new games to play...

4Sh0w252d ago (Edited 252d ago )

Well regardless of exclusives, or whatever else there is to play on Xbox or ps, CoD has has still been the top selling game on ps platform since forever also.....so no surprise that the most popular game franchise on any console could easily have a revival due to servers coming back online...this is just credit to xbox backwards compatibility & thats good thing for Xbox gamers.

wiz7191252d ago

@Frosty orrrr maybe it’s a breath of fresh air to be able to go back to the peak of the series .. and it’s beem great lol

mkis007252d ago

It's going to take 10 years for xbox to generate that much profit...

Rhythmattic252d ago

Why worry when they have OS, Server and Background Data in their hands...
Gaming is just the small piece, at the top left in a few K piece jigsaw.

EasilyTheBest252d ago

If you buy a house with cash for 1 million dollars you still own the house. Microsoft don't need to make the money back.

Rhythmattic250d ago

But its not money back, its about how it goes missing.

jznrpg252d ago

Shooters is what Xbox people play most of the time and that’s about it by the numbers and sales of games.

shinoff2183253d ago

Atkeast older gamers nostalgia is good. Jeez.

Jin_Sakai253d ago

Mostly because the new CoD games are garbage. The old games were much better.

Rutaprkl252d ago

Agree 100%. Cod 4, WaW, Black ops 1 & 2, those were the days.

Rhythmattic252d ago

For MP, Unreal tournament , QIII Arena (loved the UT mod) FTW!

RaidenBlack252d ago

Unreal Tournament and Quake III were simply amazing ... CoD's and CoD-likes' rise killed the arena shooter popularity ...
Unreal Tournament 2004 is my favorite in the series.
Didn't enjoy Unreal Tournament III, Quake Champions that much.
Too bad Epic cancelled Unreal Tournament 2014 becoz of Fortnite

Rhythmattic251d ago (Edited 251d ago )

I got hooked on the QIII Urban Terror mod (and my work colleagues I introduced them to)... LAN Sessions at the closing of the doors at work, into the night , sinking beers and eating pizza..... Good times.

thesoftware730252d ago

Wow, good games never get old I guess.

CoD will always be a beast of a franchise, and how awesome is it that you can just boot it up or pop it into your Xbox and play, MS BC is really a neat feature.

CrimsonWing69252d ago

Shows you that backwards compatibility is a worthwhile feature.

1Victor252d ago

@crimson:” Shows you that backwards compatibility is a worthwhile feature.”
I agree it’s worthy at the start of the generation when there’s few new generation games but halfway through the generation it’s not a feature.
Now it’s good that this game is finding a renewed life for its fan but it shows a mayor flaw in new games release when a close decade old game is toppling the charts

CrimsonWing69252d ago

I don't know if I understand what you mean. It's a feature regardless of the time into the generation.

Let's take Armored Core 6 for example. Let's say I'm interested in checking out the previous Armored Core games, sure would be nice if I could play them on my current-gen console.

We're about 3 years into current-gen and old games are hitting in the top 5 for sales charts in the month.

I do get where you're coming from with older games possibly being better than the newer games, but the feature stays the feature. I can only speak for myself, but when there's a lull in game releases or nothing great is out, I like to go back to old titles. It's just nice to not have to have a bunch of consoles out to do so.

I think moving forward it'll be less and less of an issue as like with the PS5 you can access most all of the PS4 games, but I like going back to PS1 and PS2. Would be awesome to kind of make backwards compatibility a prioritized feature moving forward. Hell, Sony was the first to implement it.
