Black Ops 2 (SPOILERS)

Don't trust the AI to do shit.

That's what I figured, but switching between different units eventually got to be too hectic, especially in FOB Spectre. And everything but the CLAW seems to die in about one second.

Don't play strikeforce missions on vetern is the suggestion. Too much of a headache and the AI just isn't up to the task.

I'm not touching SF until I am good enough to finish the campaign in veteran level.

Strike Force is pretty easy if you're smart about it. Although you can barely trust the AI to follow you.

I'm not smart so there is that.

Just finished mission 8.

I mean, yeah, COD had a proud tradition of, you know, but damn.

I haven't seen many FPS games that actually made me interested in the story, but damn. Black Ops's story is pretty good. And I mean both games.

Black Ops had a pretty decent story for a shooter.

Black Ops 2, on the other hand, doesn't. It has an awesome story.

Is Mission 8 Suffer With Me?

By the way, Golden Ending first try bitches.

That would be mission 7.

Also, I'm using guides.

I only got the Golden Ending, because of accidentally shooting Mason in a non-lethal way in spite of not meaning to. I was just having horrible aim. :V

I'm willing to bet you had a strategy guide spread across your thighs, so to speak.

Nope. I had nothing but the tropes page and some let's plays that got the bad endings to go on.

Same here. Yep, I be a filthy cheating bastard.

I sure do. I am not a risk-taker.

Hey, I got the Golden Ending on my first playthrough and didn't know anything about it before. 8D

Now onto the final mission. I guess?

Judgement Day is the final mission.

Finished it.

I don't know why, but it doesn't feel that climactic. It feels a bit rushed too. I don't really feel the sense of closure.

All around it was an awesome game. Still, it could have been better.

Yeah, the last two missions weren't that good. Cordis Die really felt like it was from an earlier draft of the script, while Judgement Day felt incomplete.

But here's hoping for an even better Black Ops 3.

The plot kinda fell apart somewhere around "Suffer With Me". Maybe slightly before. It then became a mess of betrayals, lies and basically trying to pull off the later seasons of Twenty Four rather than continuing the relatively good story it had.

I think that "a mess of betrayals and lies" is a bit of an exaggeration. Noriega was true to life; and Salazar's betrayal was somewhat, subtly, foreshadowed. As for Hudson benig a mole, it is fairly clear that he wasn't and was desperately trying to keep Menendez from killing David; plus, he urged Woods to take a headshot, which was not a requirement, and doing so at least saves Alex from seeing his son and best friends' torture and murder.

Actually, Hudson emphasised the "head" in headshot. It's a subtle clue.

Random thought.

As far as traitors go, Salazar was pretty tame, in my opinion. Not nearly as bad as Shepherd, although it probably isn't a very fair comparison.
