My Favourite CoD: Black Ops II for Wii U

"Advanced Warfare's hype got me to buy in on day one for PC because I was looking for something more dynamic than Ghosts, but... I didn't really feel like going back there. This led me down the path of CoD self discovery over the next couple of days leading me to an interesting conclusion: in spite of its shortcomings my favourite CoD since MW2 is Black Ops II for Wii U."

I agree, me and my cousin had lots of fun, I love how we can be in the same room and have our own screen, he could look at the tv and I look at the game pad and we would kick butt until we were not on teams no more then I wud just kick his butt

There's a part of me that wants to re-purchase it on Wii U simply because it was better balanced and more fun than Ghosts, but I still hate that the devs didn't treat that port as good as all the other versions so I'm having a hard time rationalizing the purchase.
Justifications based on user numbers be damned: it's shameful that they didn't have the decency to include the extra content that every other version of it got.
It was doomed to failure by that more than anything else.

Does anyone even play Black Ops II on Wii U anymore? I seem to remember hearing, at one point, that it had higher user numbers on Wii U than Ghosts does...

I'd say it's worth it even without the DLC maps considering it's only around $20 these days. (Although I agree Treyarch's treatment of it was a travesty.) I just checked and there are 928 people online playing it right now. In the middle of the night there are still usually around 400 so it's never hard to find a team deathmatch game.

I just played. It's Friday night around 10EST. It's more like 1700 people playing this game.

From what I played on Wii U, here's the list of shooters I recommend.

Mass Effect 3
Splinter Cell (the latest one on the Wii U)
Black Ops 2
Zombi U
And I heard the Deus X Wii U edition was a good port.

[wonderfulmonkeyman]

I own every game you listed except Splinter Cell and BO2.
I'm saddened that all we got was the tail end of the Mass Effect series rather than the trilogy, but I can recommend Deus Ex as one of the few really good ports the system has.
I still go back to it now and again when I want a game that has a good balance between stealth and action, and supports the player's choice of which of the two approaches to take in nearly any mission.

I still enjoy 007 Legends.. Some challenging levels..lol

[marloc_x]

Still a lot of Tranzit here..🔫

[Maybay]

I heard Legends wasn't so great, but a few people do enjoy it. It's cheap so I might pick it up, though the Wii U has BC, and I can just play the amazing Goldeneye title on the Wii.

[masso9112]

Yeah quiet a high number of people still play, I played it a couple days ago exoecting to find no people to play online, and I was surprised to see enough people to play match after match without pause

The Wii U CoD community loves BLOPS II, and for good reason.

[JacketsNest101]

There's usually about 1000 players on at any given time. They are fiercely competitive and very nice. The great thing about CoD on Wii U is that everyone is so nice, yeah you're still gonna run into jerks, but for the most part everybody is pretty chill. Also, with it being a small community, you run into a lot of the same players all the time and it becomes much more competitive in the end. The Hardcore TDM mode gets especially competitive due to the small amount of people that want to actually attempt hardcore.

[Munnkyman]

I've been thinking of picking it up as well. I can't believe people are still playing it I'll def get it

[zalanis]

I also recomend DeusEx on wiiu. Still my favourite game on the system

[Jay70sgamer]

I co sign also Deus Ex was a great game on wii u also Splinter Cell Blacklist on wifi u is good also

[Locknuts]

After MW2 on the 360, BO2 on Wii U is my favourite COD.

[ShaunCameron]

I actually enjoyed Ghosts on the Wii U though I agree that Black Ops II was the better game overall. I bought it for the 360.

[jholden3249]

I love Black Ops 2 on Wii U. The gamepad is perfect for playing with a friend and each getting a separate screen. Wiimote option is also very much appreciated.

[Darkfist]

so anyone excited for CoD: Black Ops III?

[MrMiyamoto]

I just wish it was coming to the Wii U :/ I'll probably get it for PS4 eventually though.

[ShaunCameron]

Judging by the sales of BO2 and G on the Wii U, I can't really blame Activision for not making any more COD games for it.

[wonderfulmonkeyman]

If it's close enough to BOII in balance and I get my other laptop fixed anytime soon, I might get it.
I'll get it sooner if they make a PS3 or Wii U version, though.

[Munnkyman]

It's ok it's black ops 3 isn't coming out on wii u, we still have Devils third :(

[quantae06]

It's not okay! But at least you can still say that Black Ops 2 isn't on other current gen consoles other then the Wii U. It's still messed up that BLOPS 3 isn't on the Wii U though. ;(

[Munnkyman]

Hehe I was being sarcastic
