The Call of Duty community revisits Black Ops 2 multiplayer with mixed emotions, praising its zombies and campaign modes but criticizing the multiplayer experience. Players highlight that a small set of weapons like the DSR, Ballista, MSMC, MP7, AN94, and MTAR dominated matches, creating an unbalanced playing field. This weapon imbalance, combined with a toxic and highly competitive player base, led many to view multiplayer as more of a chore than a fun escape. These reflections underscore ongoing concerns about balance and player behavior in the franchise's multiplayer modes.
- Dominance of a few overpowered weapons disrupted gameplay balance.
- Toxic and competitive player behavior negatively affected the experience.
