I always was of the opinion that Black Ops 2 was slightly overrated, I never really had the childhood defining experience with this game like the majority of its fans have. But upon replay this game is fantastic and I can happily say that my mind has been changed. The campaign is one of the best in the series and it has 100% rose up in my personal ranking. I love the mix between the past and future setting, Menendez is the second best COD villain behind Makarov. My favourite part is finding all the hidden details to try and get the better endings, it makes me wish that the developers put this much effort into the campaigns these days. One small thing that i found was that the side characters in this game are a lot less prominent than in previous games. Characters like Harper and Salazar have a fraction of the character and screen time of guys like Price, Woods or even the Reboot trilogy Ghost, It makes me think that they knew that these characters where one off's and wouldn't be reused at all.

Campaign set pieces and missions are amazing and this truly holds up as one of the best campaigns.
