I can agree with this sentiment. Although Ghost is the last decent Cod to me, it won't match up to the ones before it, in terms of raw epicness in story telling, soundtrack, multiplayer and much more. As well in terms of the nostalgic feelings and memories we had to the ones before it as well.
Not just for cod, but for gaming as a whole. By the time ghosts came out, studios were getting lazy, and micro-transactions began to take hold of most games. By 2014, almost all was lost with only few games standing as beacons of hope. Now, we have to buy a red dot sight reticle for $5.

Activision ruins remasters with transactions. If there is a remaster, it won’t be as fun as it was in 2012. The community’s mostly gone, and they’re the ones who made the game enjoyable. No one mics up anymore, kids are too much of snowflakes to talk, too much of little bitches. It’s all gone
I don't think there would be any remaster as the game (cod bo2) still looks good. There was literally so much overhype for mw2 remastered and guess what? It was trash and a shame in the name of a remaster!. Cant get that shit again. But the developer is different behind bo2 so .....who knows? But chances are still low as there has been few rumors here and there that black ops series is getting a reboot!
I’d say we are getting really close to another major war. And if too many of those conflicts happen at the same time, they spiral into a world war. World war 3 might be NATO/South-Korea/Japan/Ukraine versus Russia/India and their proxies. World wars usually happen if things reach a boiling point, which seems likely to me
@Something_Unique_512 Russia is winning in Ukraine as of now,they didn't have experience but now their soldiers are battle hardened and have the experience in fighting nato equipped,trained soldiers along with international mercenaries particularly nato veterans
This song is one of the best in the Call of Duty franchise. The slow, quiet parts are representative of the ongoing struggle and suffering David, Woods, Alex Mason, and Raul go through. And the loud, dramatic parts are like the release of their inner anger and suffering. Beautiful song.

I refuse to believe 2025 is closer than 2012. Makes me miss the old days:/ (Edit)Damn 1 month left until 2025 and I find it surreal that this game came out when I was 6. As I am now heading off to college. I hope the kid I played with my last game on 360 is doing well.
hard to believe 7, 8 years ago we we're hyped for black ops 2 and suddenly all this time went by, here we are today admiring and missing the fun times we had when black ops 2 was in its prime... F
I swear I’m gonna make a time machine and go back in time These 8 years passed by so quickly I remember I was in elementary school thinking I wasn’t gonna make it to High School but here I am in High School. This is actually a little emotional writing this.
You dont appreciate something to it’s max, until you lose it. edit: well boys, we got black ops Cold War. Hopefully treyarch doesn’t fuck it up, and we can all experience what we did with bo2. Here’s one for the memories, gentlemen.
Trent Reznor on composing this piece: "What I learned in listening to the full story and the amount of effort that has gone into the back story and the characters and the full preparation (is) there is a lot of reservation and angst and sense of loss and regret and anger bubbling under the surface. So it didn't make sense to have a gung ho, patriotic feeling theme song. It has to feel weighty. There is a lot of remorse and apprehension here."
He was right to compose it the way he did. Trent Reznor didn't phone a single note in, he tapped into the emotions the story presented and created one of the most beautiful pieces to open Call of Duty in the franchise's history. He's always been a legend, from Quake and The Downward Spiral to Black Ops II, to nowadays with the Ghosts albums and Bad Witch.
Good times. Great times. We're all older, so much older. But this was perfect. This game gave more than it's share of fun times for all of us here. And while Call of Duty now is far and away from it's glory days, this is a testament that they happened and that legacy will live on. And as your life changes, you get new interests, finish school, get out there, get married - I hope you come back to this and reminisce fondly of what Black Ops 2 offered back in the day.

Man… my squad stopped playing by the time school started back in fall 2015. I still play MW19 & some zombies with my closest friend here & there tho. ☺️
@Clueless_ 2468 yh cause that music reminds you of when menendez kills Mason (he survives if u shot him the leg but when I did it for the first time I shot him in the head😭😭😭😭😭)and Hudson one of the saddest moments in cod history
It's so great that there are plenty of people playing COD BO 2 6 years later. I thought It would be dead by the end of 2015, but It still proves it's the best COD to date by maintaining a stable Multiplayer with many players!
It's June of 2013. Black Ops 2 is in it's prime. You just got out of school for the summer and plan to play it non-stop for the next three months. Life is simple. Life is good. Someone take me back.
Unfortunately I missed out on quit a lot because of homework and real life shit but man I look back and think damn how did I not realize how great of a game this was
Its 2013 You don't go to school, you have no friends, you boot up your slim ps3 and play campaign, because you don't have internet, but you are too scared to make decisions in the game so you let your brother play those parts.
I remember those days best days of my life I wish that I can just go back in time now because it doesn’t feel the same now with all these new call of duty’s that don’t give you the same experience that BO2 gave you.
RIP Kamar de los Reyes, (the actor of menedez) and thank you for voicing one of if not the best cod villain of all time, and making all of our childhoods.

I know when I was replaying the black ops 2 campaign I realised that the year isnt so far from ours, thats really weird from how I used to think of it when I was smaller
"My father...gave up everything he had. He abandoned me, so he could defend his country from people like you. I hated him for that. But now, here I am...with you." "So we are the same, David. Shaped by those we have lost."
I guess Raul menendez was right, we’re getting older this game is a memory that we will never relive and we will always remember, anyone who played this game when they were young, you will suffer with me...
You know what else? Get was right about almost everything. How, the quest and hunger of power and control, humanity's opulence is what drives them to commit attrocities, and write them off. He may be crazy, but sadly, He's not wrong....especially in this day in age.
I was one when this game came out and played it first about 6 months ago an absolute masterpiece, I wish treyarch was as good in bo3 and 4 Cold War was pretty good tho.
@Throwable Salt memorable eras of CoD are: (2007-2010, old school era) (2010-2013, prime era) (2014-2016, advanced movement era) (2017-now, current era)
I game that I would come home to In like 7th grade and grind. About 30 days on and many memories. Wow I miss those days. Back when cod, soundtracks, and campaigns existed. I truly miss those days. If only I started uploading cod videos then.
@plumbussmith are you saying the developers are part of the plan? That's weird, but believable. Simpsons is just a cartoon yet it still predicts so many things perfectly.
It’s hard to believe, this was all just a video game. All this anger, frustration, sadness, and fun I had. All consumed in one disc. All the connections I ever felt to all the characters. Every emotion I ever felt playing this masterpiece is revealed by this song.
I like Tomato’s still wouldn’t be the same as in 2012 though, it’s a shame really how we never appreciated those times enough and they’re gone, now we’re almost living in 2025
Berk Ökten not to be smart or anything but, Treyarch makes the Zombies graphics and development, Activision makes the overall game, so yes I’m right in what I’m saying
Black ops 2 was just the best call of duty ever. The music was perfect, the gameplay was perfect, the campaign was absolutely amazing, and zombies was beautiful.
No. I disagree with your opinion and substitute my own. BO1 had a much better Zombies experience and so did WaW and even BO3 now. I honestly hated the majority of BO2 Zombies maps. The Campaign can't really be compared to BO1 as they are the same storylines. Except BO3. That Campaign is terrible. But overall, MW2 is the best in my opinion. General favourite CoD. Was my first one too, along with WaW.
yeah I agree with u mw2 was pretty good idk I just liked bo2 a lot bo1 was pretty cool the zombies was really fun its just I have a lot of fun times with my friends playing bo2 zombies
@RS63 I was like 7 when world at war came out and you can bet your ass that WaW menu theme gave me the spooks. I could't play the game when I was alone because it was just that scary. The russian theme from WaW is the best though
This is really really cool I like the song because I used to play it and I heard it from Black ops 2 it was really cool song it was a really sad song a little bit but it was a really rocking roll song
It's really hard to believe that 2025 is just a few months away, and seeing some things in the game that we once thought were pure science fiction become real or being developed and used in combat is just bizarre.
I remember staying up til fucking 2 in the morning playing the hell outta this game with my online buddies. When you get bored of pub stomping we all played Buried or some other fun zombies map. Bo2 forever man
@@silentwraith3464 idk man 2018 was legit an amazing year for gaming db fighterz, yakuza 6 spiderman ps4 rdr2 god of war 4 forza horizon 4 lego dc supervillains hitman 2 etc
right? honestly what gave me more chills was when we had to run towards the stadium, you just see everyone running not trying to fight each other with the kill streaks overhead.. best thing ever.
@Caterpillar Cookie no cod is still good. The only bad cod games are iw and ww2 and even then you can still have a good time playing them. Just because they aren't as good as black ops 1 and 2 or mw 1, 2, and 3 doesn't mean they're bad cod games.
It's sad to think that one day no one will remember this work, but looking at it from the other side I can say with complete confidence that I'm proud to have been one of the many who had the privilege of appreciating this masterpiece, pure art, an incredible demonstration of human capacity. I hope Kamar gets his well-deserved rest.
It’s 2012, you just woke up on Saturday morning, have a bowl of cereal, loaded up black ops 2 while listening to this song. Load up a match of S&D, talking to everyone in the lobby, no care in the world of how great this game is. This game has to be the best call of duty of all time, the last call of duty that actually made me enjoy it to it’s full capacity. It brings me a sad nostalgia to think this has to be the last good call of duty title in their whole era. No call of duty game will ever be this great ever again. It’s all just about money now, no passion in its game, no true drive in making a great title anymore. To think before it was all about how to bring a community together, but now it’s all about how to make the most money out of the game. Such sad times it is in the call of duty universe now
Yeah... those were the days... but those are gone now. And they ain't returning back... y'know, it's sad to know that this game will pretty much disappear in the later years...
Me: *Shoots menendez with a cloth bag over his head in the head* Me 20 seconds later: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK
@Shane McCarthy yea but now, is so hard to find those games, now the internet advertises what it wants to advertise, if they see a game that is not made by a popular company, that game might be forgotten because no one heard of that game, so if you want to find good games, you will pass more time searching those games then the time you actually take finishing those games, so basically, we just gotta hope this industries change to make good games and not to make money, cuz they already have enough money to be happy, and by making better games they will get more money, but it looks like they just want to publish as many games as they can in the shortest time possible, and if that doesnt change now, the game industrie will be flooded with bullshit.
I was a freshman in HS when this came out. I remember being angry I wasn’t able to buy the game on release day. Now here I am at 22 with a wife and a baby on the way. My best friend who I played with a lot of BO2 with has his own wife and 2 kids. Im happy where I am rightnow, but I miss those golden days of coming home from school and not doing any homework just so i can play with the bois. Its really been 8 years since this came out. We had no problems in life, no bills, literally nothing to worry about. And now many of us have kids now and a career. And sadly many of those we played with or against are probably no longer with us as well. If I was ever on your team or on the opposite team while playing against any one of you, all I want to say is thank you! To all the tryhards, the trickshoters, the noobs, the trash talkers thank you as well. We may not have known it but we were making memories that we will never forget.
I believe they had someone who had a military background and wrote a bit of the story for them in the campaign. He just theorized what our future would look like with the advancement of tech for both worlds
Diamond weaponry? Sexy emblems? Absurd names? Kap-40, laser and hardcore? Gold knives? Axes flying across maps? Kickass continuation of BO1 story? Insane weaponry? Fun ass zombie maps? Yep Its BOII
3:18 *walking* *walking gets a little rough* "The fuck is going on" *song gets intense and woods starts to run* "No, No No" *music gets a little more intense* "MASON!!!!!"
Woods realizing he shot Mason is the first thing that will always come to my mind when I hear that bit. The music, in a way, is your (and Woods') stress level skyrocketing

I can agree with this sentiment. Although Ghost is the last decent Cod to me, it won't match up to the ones before it, in terms of raw epicness in story telling, soundtrack, multiplayer and much more. As well in terms of the nostalgic feelings and memories we had to the ones before it as well.

But chances are still low as there has been few rumors here and there that black ops series is getting a reboot!
MW2 was good, it didn't need a remastered version, neither does this, we cannot ruin one of the last golden games
It's crazy how every year this game becomes more and more real
I’d say we are getting really close to another major war. And if too many of those conflicts happen at the same time, they spiral into a world war.
World war 3 might be NATO/South-Korea/Japan/Ukraine versus Russia/India and their proxies.
World wars usually happen if things reach a boiling point, which seems likely to me

It's so great that there are plenty of people playing COD BO 2 6 years later. I thought It would be dead by the end of 2015, but It still proves it's the best COD to date by maintaining a stable Multiplayer with many players!

It’s hard to believe, this was all just a video game. All this anger, frustration, sadness, and fun I had. All consumed in one disc. All the connections I ever felt to all the characters.
Every emotion I ever felt playing this masterpiece is revealed by this song.

Bo1 >
competes with modern warfares
Black ops 2 was just the best call of duty ever. The music was perfect, the gameplay was perfect, the campaign was absolutely amazing, and zombies was beautiful.
No. I disagree with your opinion and substitute my own. BO1 had a much better Zombies experience and so did WaW and even BO3 now. I honestly hated the majority of BO2 Zombies maps. The Campaign can't really be compared to BO1 as they are the same storylines. Except BO3. That Campaign is terrible. But overall, MW2 is the best in my opinion. General favourite CoD. Was my first one too, along with WaW.
yeah I agree with u mw2 was pretty good idk I just liked bo2 a lot bo1 was pretty cool the zombies was really fun its just I have a lot of fun times with my friends playing bo2 zombies
+Thomas The Dank Engine I prefer MW3 over any Modern Warfare game. I'm also looking forward to seeing what Infinity Ward does this year.
yeah me too after what happened with ghosts, idk what they are gonna do next
mob of the dead and orgins were amazing not sure about buried but buried wasnt that bad
This is literally the best COD theme music ever in my opinion
This is by far the best. Wanna know why? Cause every other game didn't have Trent Rezner and Jack Hall doing all the music.
Yes you and me both its eerie or something sounds... familiar. I spent alot of time in bo2
@@misternasty2216 But mw2 had fucking Hans Zimmer making the theme atleast
@RS63 I was like 7 when world at war came out and you can bet your ass that WaW menu theme gave me the spooks. I could't play the game when I was alone because it was just that scary. The russian theme from WaW is the best though
RS63 ok boomer :)
When you realize BO2 was just a prediction to what’s gonna happen in real life:
Mw3 also
Noriega: Go to hell!
Mason: Hell... We've already been...
You will be in a couple hours mason....
Woods: Put your ass in the chair!!!!

I hope Kamar gets his well-deserved rest.
It’s 2012, you just woke up on Saturday morning, have a bowl of cereal, loaded up black ops 2 while listening to this song. Load up a match of S&D, talking to everyone in the lobby, no care in the world of how great this game is.
This game has to be the best call of duty of all time, the last call of duty that actually made me enjoy it to it’s full capacity. It brings me a sad nostalgia to think this has to be the last good call of duty title in their whole era. No call of duty game will ever be this great ever again. It’s all just about money now, no passion in its game, no true drive in making a great title anymore. To think before it was all about how to bring a community together, but now it’s all about how to make the most money out of the game. Such sad times it is in the call of duty universe now

The game industry has changed so much these past years...
Sadly
In a very negative way
@Shane McCarthy yea but now, is so hard to find those games, now the internet advertises what it wants to advertise, if they see a game that is not made by a popular company, that game might be forgotten because no one heard of that game, so if you want to find good games, you will pass more time searching those games then the time you actually take finishing those games, so basically, we just gotta hope this industries change to make good games and not to make money, cuz they already have enough money to be happy, and by making better games they will get more money, but it looks like they just want to publish as many games as they can in the shortest time possible, and if that doesnt change now, the game industrie will be flooded with bullshit.

I was a freshman in HS when this came out. I remember being angry I wasn’t able to buy the game on release day. Now here I am at 22 with a wife and a baby on the way. My best friend who I played with a lot of BO2 with has his own wife and 2 kids. Im happy where I am rightnow, but I miss those golden days of coming home from school and not doing any homework just so i can play with the bois. Its really been 8 years since this came out. We had no problems in life, no bills, literally nothing to worry about. And now many of us have kids now and a career. And sadly many of those we played with or against are probably no longer with us as well.
If I was ever on your team or on the opposite team while playing against any one of you, all I want to say is thank you! To all the tryhards, the trickshoters, the noobs, the trash talkers thank you as well. We may not have known it but we were making memories that we will never forget.
I bought BO1 and WaW a month ago and BO2 yesterday, sadly BO2 keeps making my console crash.
Thank you too.
