CALL OF DUTY BLACK OPS II REVIEW FULL

Ideally, players try to earn points instead of just kills. We still haven’t put enough time into the zombie modes to really give you a true review, so we’ll write another review later dedicated to these modes. Zombie mode can be a little bit confusing for newer players.Â The goal is to survive, and you really have to take things slow compared to the rest of the game.Â In multiplayer you sprint around spraying a SMG, and in single-player you can go nuts as long as you reach a checkpoint.Â In Zombies, you die. Strike Force Missions, a new addition to Call of Duty, are quasi-strategy form of gameplay.Â The player has an Overwatch mode (top down) to keep track of the squad, but can also choose to take control of a specific unit (first person).Â The objectives can be confusing, and even terribly difficult on Veteran mode.Â If you want a good ending, though, you kinda have to do them, but you won’t be forced into completing them to finish the campaign.Â The campaign itself wasn’t nearly as hard as past CoD’s on the hardest difficulty, but flashy and fun.

Read more after the break for our full Black Ops 2 Review. The campaign features the usual highly scripted, event filled, story driven gameplay.Â You’ll be riding horses while shooting rockets, gliding around with a flying squirrel suit, piloting a jet plane, EMP grenading invisible bad guys, and performing all of the expected awesome, and oft wacky, Call of Duty events.Â We never felt like the game made us do the same crazy thing twice. Using the future tech was easily the best part of the campaign, but we both feel like the devs were a bit optimistic with where we’ll be at in 13 years - seeing through walls, cloaking, and all that stuff. The overall futuristic setting of 2025 is definitely cool. Maybe it’s just us, but the single-player story is hard to follow.Â Right from the beginning you are thrown into a storyline based off the original Black Ops.Â Knowing characters from the original helps a lot, but we still felt lost as the cut-scenes randomly flashed from past to present and back again. Too bad my scope can scan for it! Notice I can also see through walls? Single-Player: A Flare for the Dramatic The AI loves to wear stealth camo. We have always enjoyed the series, despite burning out on the familiar formula from time to time.Â Black ops was the lastÂ Call of Duty we played.Â We skipped MW3, giving us just enough time to start feeling the itch to jump back into the frag-box. It’s been a while since we last played a Call of Duty game.
