Black Ops 2, 11 Years Later...

[@M3RKMUS1C]

*10,000 LIKES* for more OG COD stuff! Which throwback COD should I play next?

[@qxd]

im sad skipper removed my classes from your account i made some really good classes for you and fixed your stats

[@icy_sxion3249]

Black ops 1!

[@ch2raf589]

Thank you for saving bo3 man . although we have to deal with people who are using 6 perks and 6 attachments. But it's a big improvement

[@zBad_]

you have to try some bo4 pc , ive reinstalled that game and im having some really good time on it

I feel bad for anyone that didn't get to play Bo2 during its peak, such great times for Troling,Trickshotting,Pubstomping, and zombies all in 1 game

[@mpathetic8044]

I think about it so much

[@Pegarexucorn]

Don't forget Custom Games.

@@gonzo-py The steam version is also fun. Only the console memories will never be brought back unfortunately.

[@netcat22]

Whenever you feel sad or unhappy, remember that there are people who spend every single day of their lives going on BO2 and hacking the game, ruining the experience for the few hundreds of people who still get on the game.

[@hellsfxllenangel2093]

I only use a mod menu to stop other hackers, it takes ages to get lobbies but they're always great lobbies :D

They better make bo2 remastered in 2025, that would be very fitting haha

[@mrtufooo309]

I still got my ps3 not my original one but I got my ps3 and I got bo2 permanently in there cuz time to time I’ll hop back on to hit some trick shots

[@cookie572]

I miss Black Ops 2 man, really hope they remaster it or something

[@God-du2ir]

if they do remaster it, I hope they don't try to change it or mess with anything besides the next-gen graphics. Just re-release the game as is. Its literally perfect

[@bigbossrob]

Getting on old cods you just see how much the newer games are missing😭😭

[@bigbossrob]

@Blaze Gaming map vote, red dots on mini map, reload cancel, lobby leaderboards, GOOD MAPS, etc but add perk charge up times, doors, sbmm, second chance, verticality, etc yeah definitely didnt miss a beat👍

[@PrabhablyAGoodYouTuber]

@Blaze Gaming I haven't played recent cods, do recent cods have theatre mode? That was sick back in the day

[@ducky_7122]

The fact that the cheaters tried to add and invite you is sad. People have no shame.

[@technicallycanadian249]

Bro I use to watch you play bo2 like 10 years ago 🤯 hard to believe I’m a grown adult and can never go back to these good ol days, thanks for the nostalgia trip 🥹

[@FiregemGaming]

This was peak CoD this was home and MW3 these two games got me through middle and high school.

[@Umjii1]

the best cod to ever exist we need a remaster no matter how people play the game just remaster this game

[@BellWifi]

Even the lobby screen music was top tier.

[@itsmikedev]

That transition at 2:51 was so clean

[@cheesetheoriginalmres7727]

as someone who played bo2 for 6 years, im surprised at how many people still played it all the time, snd was poopin, but theres been a massive hacker problem since 2014ish. it got to the point where i only played bo2 off my mobile hotspot because they liked hitting me offline so much, and i just had to restart it and could be gaming again in like 30 seconds, so naturally i would re join the hackers repeatedly until they called a truce, good times.

[@sfish6]

This game came out when I was in 8th grade and now I'm a college graduate wondering if anyone I played with still remembers me :,)

[@weswagnon9063]

they do brother

[@akkumaaa]

can’t wait for the next bo2 24 years later

[@Texansfan59]

2025 they have to remaster it

[@khiobi1687]

No slide cancelling. No broken metas. No aggressive microtransactions. No grind mindsets. A fun pace to play the game at, not too fast not too slow. This is how CoD should be

[@themilgamerhd1322]

Yea honestly tho i was 6/7 at the time and i had so much fun on my uncles ps3 with my cousin and him playing custom games or multiplayer

[@SwitchbladesVideos]

I REAAAALLY want this to be remaster for CoD 2023, who cares about MWIII let's remaster this GOAT

[@imoqtz3332]

I hope when they do we stay in the same lobbies and have no sbmm

[@genfox1g913]

Playing blackops at its peak was an experience. Would have been a better experience if I was good back then but one nonetheless.

[@Itz_Puxe]

I will be flashbang by this game's nostalgia for my entire life bro this was the only call of duty where I had actual fun without getting screwed by matchmaking. 🙏🙏🙏

[@mas._.k_]

really glad to be back, hate to be one of those viewers but i stopped watching for awhile after BO3 but you’re one of my local channels and I absolutely love your content and am here to stay.

[@floppa9415]

BO2 was peak CoD.

[@AS256]

bro I genuinely can’t believe my all time favourite xbox/playstation is now 11.

[@5hane9ro]

BO2 is a goat and the end of the Golden era of CoD being respectable. I enjoy some of the later games (like IW's campaign, WW2, BO4, MW, and CW) but nothing's slapped as hard since

[@dubsss-_-6028]

This was my first online game when I was 10. I was awful but I loved this game. I had horrible internet and was always at 300+ ping. But the game was and is incredible and will forever hold a place in my heart. I pray for a remaster all the time. My assumption would be in 2025 they remaster it bc it took place in 2025 if it isn't sooner.

[@kushwizrd4246]

i remember spending hours making emblems. what i’d do to go back

[@Reeeed1]

When merk upload an og cod video everything is gùuuuuuuud

I am so happy the first gun back was the M8...I swear man, hitting perfect shots with that gun NEVER gets old. 10/10 my favorite COD gun.

Nice video, hopefully next time you do another BO2, or any other the other games, you also try out Plutonium and these other services to showcase the modern, more safe alternatives

[@enderwigin7976]

Back in the days where me and the boys would play with an old ps3 on a small screen split into 4 while using crap controllers. We would play gun game and who ever wins the other 3 would give him money. Such great times dude.

[@asju4]

This game, alongside all the 360 cod games, was put on sale like 1 or 2 weeks ago on xbox, so that probably explains why they were some low levels and more people than usual.

[@zedpwner]

bo2 pc still has a dedicated playerbase, theres a few hackers but we all just join a new lobby when we encounter them

[@TheHulk1850]

Don't they have a MWX4 version of BO2? I know it has a different name, but isn't it essentially the same thing?

[@zedpwner]

@@TheHulk1850 yeah but I like having my original stats. There's enough people where I've prestiged a couple times since I picked it back up in 2022
