Fair warning **DO NOT** go on multiplayer without plutonium. vanilla bo2 has been taken over by hackers and they can mess up your pc. if you want to play bo2 multi or zombies get plutonium t6. otherwise, you have an exceedingly high chance of getting a virus on your pc. The game is still peak with plutonium tho. hope a remake or smth comes out soon, I miss bo2. Other than the rampant hackers on vanilla servers, the game still holds up and it is fun as BALLS. I haven't played search and destroy in years, and trying it again today has resulted in nothing but flagrant happiness. love you, black ops 2. i will never forget

This game is still amazing. Although the game is a massive security risk. Hackers have breached the servers and can execute code on your computer. If you're just playing the campaign boot the game whilst Steam is in offline mode. If you want to play Multiplayer and Zombies without cheaters, your best bet is to use the Plutonium client. Play this classic safely now!

Overpriced DLC and base game, overall still kicks ass like it did back then. I'd only recommend it whenever (and if) it goes on sale.

Absolutely goated campaign, phenomenal multiplayer, and best Zombies mode ever created. This is what Call of Duty was meant to be. Honestly the best Call of Duty ever, it was ahead of its time. All the hours I spent on this game on my Xbox 360 were some of the best gaming moments of my life. Playing this with friends after school was amazing. No Call of Duty could be better than this was.
