Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 - The State of Call of Duty

In short, Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 is worth buying. It offers some great battle sections and a good level of quality which many games lack but at the same time it could have been so much more. Today we take a look at what isn't great in Black Ops 2...

Call of Duty: Black Ops II: The future-shooter is now

When you think about the Call of Duty franchise, you think about the explosion-filled campaigns, the intense firefights and the increasingly popular competitive multiplayer. You may also think it's a franchise that is beginning to show its age and is...

Well-executed story, strong use of player agency, multiplayer is as fun as ever

Flawed A.I. and tactics in strike force missions, Zombies mode is a bit dull

Call of Duty: Black Ops II Review

A sinister villain, some tough choices, and a new kind of multiplayer arena invigorate the reliably intense action in Call of Duty: Black Ops II.

Great campaign scripting ; Story choices are often tough and encourage replay ; League play offers a new stage for the familiar multiplayer combat

Zombies mode is stagnant ; New codcasting tool is hamstrung ; Technical limitations hamper live streaming feature

These are two extreme examples, but tweaking your loadouts with the gear you've chosen to unlock still confers a sense of getting more powerful and better equipped for combat. These are still the fast and deadly battlefields that have drawn millions of...

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 Review

We weigh in on the multiplayer, Zombies, and give a final score.

Fun near-future weapons and gadgets; more open levels and options; team- and objective-play rewarded in multiplayer

Campaign spends too much time in the past; not a real leap forward for the franchise; balance issues in multiplayer

Hit the next page for our impressions on the multiplayer and Zombies modes.

Call of Duty: Black Ops II Review

If you're reading reviews for Call of Duty: Black Ops II, you've either bought the game already and are looking to see if you agree with reviewers, or you're on the fence about it. If you love it, you're not bothering to look up reviews, and if you...

Treyarch aimed to widen the scope of Call of Duty with this sequel, and they did, but I don't feel like it turned out to be the vast success they hoped it to be. Everything's still limited by the technology, and while the new timeline offers plenty of...

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 review: War on three fronts

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 succeeds in many ways, living up to promises of a branching campaign, expanded Zombies mode, and a new spin on multiplayer customization. The ideas coming out of developer Treyarch are exactly what the annual franchise needs,...
