From Concept to Classic: The Untold Evolution of Black Ops 2

[@sovietslime9016]

seeing the chronicle maps in the bo2 is so weird and cool at the same time they look so good

[@AmyCherryLMAO]

honestly i wouldnt have minded if bo2's multiplayer was largely just a 2025 version of bo1

[@LateNightHalo]

It’s crazy how fast the cod developers always worked. It’s like you blink and they’re already building maps and campaign missions

[@PounderMcNasty]

It is crazy! But also impressive how short of a dev cycle they had and it was STILL one of the most impactful Call of Duty's of all time. Wait til you see Modern Warfare 2007s Pre-Alpha....

Im glad the algorithm showed me this, great work man! I hope you get to be a partner channel

[@lo-fi-luna]

just found your channel and you definetly deserve way more subscribers! amazing video i would love a follow up with the 360 developer kit i hope you can get monetized in the future im rooting for you :) also i feel like black ops 2 should be remastered this year for 2025 its a perfect opportunity since that game was set in this year

[@Mirrorism]

I watched this before scrolling down to see you're a small channel, great work dude! Was a good watch!

[@ImKudah]

I recently learned that mw3 survival was made by treyarch, could be why there’s so much mw2/3 assets

[@leonarddrawsisback4718]

Dude I watch your halo reach vid and now im in love with your content .

[@PounderMcNasty]

Super happy to hear this! It seems that folks really enjoy these videos. More to come soon!

[@leonarddrawsisback4718]

@ dude nice and keep it up

[@razorstargazer]

Why is this channel so underrated, youtube give this man some subs, this is good content

[@Fraustega]

I would definitely love to see more proto builds. I've never actually seen prototypes of BO2 till now after how many years.

[@guitargatekeeper]

This was an amazing video, you deserve more subs

[@Milkoberrevoets]

Nice vid man! Keep it up!

[@Nightmare10311]

heres another reason why old cod is still better than new cod you said they ripped the files from their last game "JUST FOR TESTING" as current cod rips files from their last game as a finalized product. fucking crazy how we went from that to this.

[@xboxed720]

These kinds of videos feel uncanny to me. They give off the "Super Mario 64 personalized copies" vibes.

[@laffjon]

Yessss I love this content bo2 was the complete package

[@Shingodzilla138Xbox]

i kinda wish they would have just reused sounds from older games than be stuck with the ones we wound up getting in bo2 (the reused audio for all guns)

[@jezze715]

12:35 That's not shi no numa, Thats Shangri La

[@PounderMcNasty]

Whoops! Thanks for that callout 😅

[@Majima669]

​@PounderMcNasty not a true cod player if you mistaken a zombie map with one of the most iconic one

[@C4DeadCharge]

@@Majima669 Neither Shi No Numa or Shangri La are the most iconic zombie maps.

[@skarano]

idk why they felt the need to get rid of seeing your guy in 3d and rotating him and stuff in create a class

[@StationaryGamingReal]

There is something clean about that BO1 styled menu, that new front during the Alpha sells it for me. Looking at COD now, so much clutter.

[@NocoNeco]

YOU'rE TELLING ME FIVE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE IN ZOMBIE CHRONICLES??? WHY DIDN'T THEY KEEP IT. (great video btw)

[@bongtingstill]

Im glad they waited till BO3 to release chronicles.

[@strategical_defensive_maneuver]

And...with BO2 Remaster (or the 2nd Wave or sth) will coming out this year, I really think that they are ready.

[@nicholasdelaney1407]

Well, I didn't know it was made in two days 😂, but I do know we are in the same year as Black Ops 2 🧡

[@Fishinbasser]

I love your videos, do you plan on covering Halo 3 ODST?

[@PounderMcNasty]

If I can get my hands on builds of it I would love to!

[@kutsumiru]

def do a vid with a devkit!

[@shadowman2852]

I need tranzit alpha gameplay!

[@kadenanderson4437]

do old fortnite save the world builds, its interesting

[@Cogglesz]

I would loveeee to know how you even managed to come across these, Resolution looks too good for a 360 kit, Are you emulating? surely not lol. Is this a mod for the PC version where they somehow got the old builds working? Honestly this video blew my mind over just these little details. That's so cool man. I'd love to mess around in this myself which is why i ask haha. I'd love to see the detail native on my own screen. This is such a cool cool video to pop up on the recommendations once again! It blows my mind how people can get a hold of these through so many wacky techniques. What surprises me most actually is the fact it still runs the same way it probably did back in the day. I've got prototypes of games from a studio I work for where even old 2016 builds of old projects just can't load up anymore with all the changes the engine has went over, it just wasn't stable enough even back then to get properly preserved for future titles that have throwbacks to this original 2016 concept we had. It just wasn't viable for the tech and knowledge we had at the time. Unless you work at Treyarch then don't mind me but this was so cool, once i've checked out the video i'll be checking to see what else you might've cooked up :) All the best to you McNasty! You deserve a lil sub for getting my brain thinking first thing!

[@gotopiz]

Based on the stuttering during gameplay, he is emulating using Xenia

[@sbrader97]

​@gotopiz Yeah u can see at the end the crash screen is from xenia and some of the bugs it had was because of xenia the zombies build works better on real hardware currently

[@sbrader97]

The mp builds leaked years ago and the zombies alpha build is a recent leak they can be found on Internet archive and they was played using xenia emulator he doesn't work for treyarch someone else leaked these builds they come from old dev kits that had the builds left on the hard drive is usually how these old builds are found and leaked

[@kamikazeneo4838]

@@gotopiz He also says in the video it's running on an emulator

[@cryv3n]

can I play these rn?

[@DoomderX]

ZC nacht is defo copy and paste from bo1 remaster. B03 ended upping the graphics to fit the new gen of consoles

[@bruhmoment6532]

Can you cover MW3 next pls🙏🙏🙏

[@PounderMcNasty]

It's on my list!

[@brandonepp8681]

Call of duty black ops 2 original release date 13 year ago since 2012 then vs now new generation future technology 2025

[@markhovscrch4050]

Xbox360 is sh*t weak processor.

[@mike_pogo]

Compared to PS3, yep

[@markhovscrch4050]

@@mike_pogo If activision uses PS3 as development console, the game even push further to its limits on sacrificing the temperature via overheating somehow in near future fans of the PS3 can mod it via custom cooler, fans and copper coin method. Here check No More Heroes: Heroes paradise the Remastered but not Directed by original director with many content, filler on the graphics but sacrifiece FPS to 30fps due to PS3 achitecture is very hard to understand.

[@GeometryEX-hp9zs]

The irony is that the aiming animation was removed from the game now. At that time, at least in Battlefield 3, the aiming animation could be fully calibrated, and that was how the gun was actually aimed. Now, it's just replaced with a picture. It's a complete downgrade. This animation is not difficult in general, either they lack the talent to do it, or they don't want to do it.

[@PrabhablyAGoodYouTuber]

aiming animation? I'm a bit confused because I do see an animation present when you aim the gun - could you kindly explain what you are talking about please?
