There were however equivalents in greatness to the Intervention or the UMP45. In arguably COD’s ‘best’ multiplayer game, there were no equivalents in terribleness to the F2000 or WA2000 every weapon (yes, even the Chicom CQB) was at least usable. In terms of gameplay, both the variety of weapons used and the power of Black Ops II’s top-tier guns were amazing – which sounds contradictory, yet somehow Treyarch pulled it off. Getting to round 50 and 60 on Buried and Mob of the Dead are respectively among my favourite gaming moments ever.Īnd last but not least, who could forget Black Ops II’s iconic multiplayer? The menu music alone is enough to make me (and I assume many of you) excited quite literally ‘ Adrenaline rushed’ as the composers intended. Being frequently contested as the best Call of Duty zombies map of all time, the atmospheric feel, combined with the crisp and creative gameplay, stemming from weapons such as the Acid Gat and the Hell’s Redeemer, was hardly ever repeated. Furthermore, Mob of the Dead was a brilliant addition to the already loaded lineup of Black Ops II zombies maps. Many iconic memories with friends were made on countless nights spent in the ‘Jug room’ of Buried or on the bus of Tranzit. No other Call of Duty game comes close to having as many fun maps to play on Instead of the developers deterministically and predictably spoon-feeding the player to the end, the third best-selling Call of Duty ever lets you choose the fate of Alex Mason and his son. Take the campaign for example – Black Ops II is still one of only two games in the franchise to offer a non-linear campaign. Having been voted ‘ the best COD game of the decade’ last year, I think many fans would agree.įrom the extravagant single-player mode which had players completing its story with several possible endings to the countless innovations made in the zombies mode, or the textbook Call of Duty multiplayer experience, the joy I had playing what many term ‘the last good COD’ was immeasurable. Of course, quite often people exaggerate the greatness of their childhood games, but Black Ops II is for sure not an example of exaggeration – it was the Call of Duty. Yet one game towers above them all: Call of Duty: Black Ops II. Vivid childhood memories were made on that machine ranging from completing Saints Row IV’s campaign to the backdrop of The Touch by Stan Bush, the epic song that played when Optimus Prime fought Megatron in The Transformers: The Movie, to playing Kinect Sports table tennis with my grandparents. The dusty old Xbox 360 which was the backbone of fun for my younger self currently sits hibernated in the corner of my games room.
