Needless to say, Nathanial Rumphol-Janc had played a lot of this game already before purchasing it for the Wii U, so he sort of knew he would enjoy it if for other than the fact he didn’t need to borrow the game anymore. Sure, part of him felt guilty playing the game because it’s supposed to be “generic and unimaginative”. It’s definitely no Borderlands 2, and Nathanial would hesitate to say it’s better than other IP’s out there. But man, after all these years Nathanial not only understand why Call of Duty is so appealing, he now has a definitive view into why Nintendo is so high and mighty about the Wii U being as good if not better than whats available for hardcore games. To put it bluntly, of the console versions of Black Ops II… the Wii U is simply the best of the bunch. Period, end of story.
GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 leap up due to summer sales
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.
Many players on social media are now reporting unannounced matchmaking fixes have been put in place by Activision ranging from Call of Duty 3 to Modern Warfare 2 to Black Ops 2, on Xbox 360. Players are reporting that player counts are updating, lobbies forming, and matchmaking times have been reduced. Neither Activision nor Microsoft have commented on the matter when reached out to at this time. This is currently impacting both 360 and BC versions of the games. PS3 is not affected at this time.

Multiple users coming forward saying the games are finally working again after years of server issues. Note that not all issues such as player counts are totally fixed at this time however matchmaking is fully working again. With legacy Call of Duty games releasing on Game Pass within the next 2 years, it does make sense for these servers to eventually be corrected. Good to see the preservation of these legendary games. Hopefully PS3 receives the same treatment for these legacy titles!

Imagine that.
Conspiracy theory: MS have been planning on purchasing ABK for a long time. They let Sony outbid them for having console-exclusive CoD stuff/being first for certain dlc so the PlayStation player base would increase.
Years later, MS buy ABK, with plans to make CoD either exclusive/platform exclusive features etc with the release of a new console (Xbox Series X2?) So the established CoD player base migrates over to their platform, taking a huge percentage off Sony?
Wild theory
Game Rant Writes "Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 has been available for 10 years, and in that time, no other entry has topped its weapon balance and variety."
Although Black Ops 2 is one of the more loved entries in the series, there seemed to be an overall lack of recoil when I played back in the day, which made the guns feel toy-like. The overall art style didnt really sit well with me at the time either. A bit too cartoony. I think zombies could have been cool, but on the PS3, playing splitscreen made the frame rate drop to unplayable levels.
While I agree with this article, I still feel it's a flame-bait fanboy war waiting to happen...
The only thing I was disappointed about was Treyarch didn't include the Stereoscopic 3D mode in the Wii U version. Why they left it out and made the rest of the game identical is beyond me. I played Black Ops 1 on my 360 in 3D mode and loved it. Even AC3 on the Wii U has the Stereoscopic 3D mode available to use, so it's not like the system isn't capable of doing 3D. Ubisoft clearly got it to work no problem. Just lazy on the part of Treyarch I guess.
Other than that, a great version of the game and definitely worth purchasing for any Wii U owners.
The ability to play on the gamepad, wiimote and the pro controller makes it the best version IMO opinion, but the major drawback is the community isn't their yet which is why I will stick to the Xbox version.
what ever
ps3 version 4 me
I still think that the ps3/360 version are better. I'll give you 3 reasons, 1 they have a better online crowd, 2 they both have 3d support, they both have a trophie/achievements to make us feel rewarded for playing single player. I also could mention the faster load times when the match is about to start, So that would be 4 reasons.
