There are also a great deal of small changes made to the game that, when put together, make the Black Ops 2 multiplayer experience stand apart from past Call of Duty titles. Exactly how all these changes will affect gameplay is yet to be seen and if they’re good or bad is up to the individual player. Black Ops 2 has already been released and can be played on Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and PC. Happy gaming.
