I know what you're thinking: Humans would look pretty weird if we didn't have a nose.

Anways, hey everyone, recently noticed its been almost exactly a month since I've blogged :lol: Been busier than usual, my work schedule increased a little, and I've been playing multiplayer in BO2 to death. Speaking of which, here's my short review of the game.

Superb. An obvious step up from MW3 in terms of graphics, story and single/multi player. The single player places you in the shoes of a variety of characters from Alex Mason in the 1980's and his son David Mason in 2025. Raul Menendez, the main 'antagonist' of the game is my new favorite villain. He's not the "I do evil things because I'm evil" type of villain, he's a person who grew up witnessing greed and the evils of other countries, there's another thing but I won't spoil it :P For the first time in the CoD series, you can have multiple endings, the choices you make in the game WILL have a bearing on how the game ends and the scenes and dialogue you get, just don't kill Menendez in the end (Trust me....don't kill him just.....don't) Multiple endings is hardly innovative, but for an annual series, its a step in the right direction. Another nice touch is the ability to choose your loadout before each mission: Your main gun, sidearm, grenades and even perks are customizable. The challenges in each mission also keeps you coming back for more. As good as the story is, the ONLY thing about it I hate is the Strike Force missions. The AI just seems sluggish when you command them, leading to some irritating moments, but I can appreciate Treyarch trying to add variety to a series that gets a new game every year.

As for the multiplayer, I'm having much more fun (And much less frustration) with it then I did with MW3. Occasional lag aside (Maybe because of my net connection), it feels like how a multiplayer should feel like: Balanced, not pitting hapless newbs against prestige level players which is a problem I had with MW3, ended up cursing the game everytime that happened, but I've since sold it off so BO2 is now my new favorite CoD game. Overall score for Black Ops 2: 9.5 (Would be 10 if not for the Strike Force missions and occasional lag and matches cutting out)

Ok, so not so short but hey, it ain't as long as GS' review is it? :P Moving on, my family got Directv, one thing I noticed about it is how much less stress I feel with it compared to Time Warner Cable, which is odd considering I've never been to big on satellite tv *Shrugs*

And finally, the Mass Designers Lounge is holding a tournament which starts tomorrow. Last year I got eliminated in the first round, but this time I'm not a noob...here's hoping thats enough to get me to round 2 :lol:

And with that, the blog ends, I'll have try to have a more detailed one next time. See ya round the boards!!
