Call of Duty: Black Ops II is a first-person shooter developed by Treyarch and published by Activision. It was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, and the Xbox 360 on November 13, 2012, and for the Wii U on November 18 in North America and November 30 elsewhere. Square Enix published more than Activision with the Japanese version.

Why It Rocks

1. There are different endings, and each choice you make will determine what ending you get. The events of the player's ending is also determinant on the fates of Menendez, Lynch and Alex Mason, and whether the Strike Force missions were completed.
   • If David executes Menendez, Cordis Die supporters launch a massive worldwide revolution, resulting in global anarchy that results in the US President being assassinated, the disbanding of NATO and the eventual outbreak of a Third Cold War. This is the canonical ending and sets the background for Call of Duty: Black Ops III.
   • If David captures Menendez and Lynch survives, she will prevent Menendez's cyberattack and he will remain imprisoned, going berserk after seeing Lynch being interviewed on Jimmy Kimmel Live. This is the best possible ending of the game.
   • If David captures Menendez and Lynch was killed or not rescued, Menendez's cyberattack will succeed and he will break out of prison. After confronting and murdering Woods, Menendez commits suicide at his sister's grave by committing immolation.
   • If Mason survives being shot by Woods (must be shot anywhere but the head), he will reunite with him and David. Otherwise, David retires from the military after visiting his father's grave.
   • If all the Strike Force missions were completed, China and the United States enter into an alliance, ending the Second Cold War.
2. The graphics look amazing by 2012 standards.
3. The story is one of the best, if not the best, in the Call of Duty series. It also follows the events that happen in the past (1986), tying them to the current story (2025).
4. Awesome multiplayer modes. Even in 2019, the game is still very active, especially the PlayStation 3 version, which usually has 20K+ players online and in some occasions, over 100K!
5. Weapon balancing was done pretty well at launch, though some patches did nerf weapons that were too oppressive (like the Select Fire FAL OSW).
6. The acting is superb.
7. Follows up on the original Black Ops, something Black Ops III didn't do very well.
8. Amazing Zombies mode.
9. The Mob of The Dead DLC is insanely good.
10. The setting is kind of futuristic (set in 2025), but not in a distant future dystopia way. Something that the later games would go on to do.
11. Awesome theme song, including its orchestral mix composed by Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor.
12. In fact, there's a non-canon post-credits scene unlocked by completing the game, depicting Menendez and Woods performing at a concert with Synyster Gates and M. Shadows of Avenged Sevenfold.
13. Raul Menendez is an awesome and intimidating villain that unlike other COD villains has a backstory and reasoning for wanting to attack America other than being just a run of the mill bad guy.

Bad Qualities

1. Treyarch sinned of recycling content, some of the reloading animations for the weapons are taken from the Infinity Ward games, while in former games they used original animations.
2. Plot Hole: In one of the endings, Alex Mason can survive being shot by Frank, but it's never revealed as to where Alex had been for 30 years and how no one knew he was alive.
3. It's digital versions are still full price!
4. The Zombies game mode can no longer be played offline, even if playing solo. Players can only be able to play it while connected to the internet.
5. Overpowered weapons which crushed the balance in multiplayer, though it's not as bad as it was in Modern Warfare 2 and 3.
6. Hackers are rampant, especially on Xbox 360 and PS3 thanks to modded consoles.
7. The sniping/trickshotting community made some of the game modes quite unfriendly to players that didn't care about their playstyle.
8. League Play is shutdown, and attempting to select it in the main menu will always crash the game. This also makes it impossible for completionists to obtain all achievements/trophies since Big Leagues requires playing it. Not only that, but Big Leagues is the only achievement/trophy (excluding the platinum trophy for the game) that is unobtainable in the entire Call of Duty franchise. Even World at War which is four years older than Black Ops II has its online trophies obtainable as of November 2020.
