- Let me tell you why Raul Menendez from Black Ops 2 is the best villain in Call of Duty. He elevated the Black Ops 2 campaign to its legendary status - the story, the mood, the multiple endings - he made them all pop. Strap in for this Black Ops 2 retrospective.

HE WAS THE TRULY BROKEN VILLAN
The best part of saving mason is it isn’t just there because we know it’s mason. It’s possible woods is skeptical from Hudson’s communication, the CIA file, and dragoviches interrogation.
Honestly, if Menendez actually started his youtube channel irl. He would end up on SO many commentary channels with titles like "The disturbing truth about Xx_CordisDie_xX69".
You know SunnyV2 would be hopping on that immediately

I think Menendez would like to fool them. To be one step ahead.
Handsome Jack clears, I’m sorry

Dude, I'm kinda speechless on how good this video was from a channel your size. I played the BO2 campaign as a kid and to me it was just shooting people with a story in the background but being older now and watching this with your in depth analysis gave me a larger appreciation for this game. The campaign mostly stuck with me this whole time due to the scale and gameplay but I always preferred the MW campaigns since they felt more like real war to me. Treyarch's first two entries in the BO series are nothing to sleep on though
Thanks man! Yeah when the games came out we were just too young to appreciate some of the finer details, and it's been a blast looking back.
No it's not and the BO campaign are not bad
This is a pleasant reccomendation
how does this video barely got views omg it's so good
Huh, this video is getting recommended to people 2 years later? Love the algorithm sometimes. Glad you liked it!
Great video man, the quality is really very high for a channel of your size. You analyzed one of the games that I played and loved most in my childhood very well. I hope you can make your way! keep it up
Another great video from the goat for real. I've only played the campaign once at release and I remember being so lost in the plot. It's funny to see that he had 2 billion followers, more than the entire population of China, yet he never made a Twitch channel. Absolute waste of his time, he could've gotten so many Twitch prime memberships. Sadge.
My man coulda been the Ludwig of his time
He is already pretty rich through smuggling weapons so it wouldnt matter 🤷♂️
Raul Menendez is one of the greatest villains of all time in any media!
Fantastic video man
Man does the algorithm cook some times
A neat little detail that you didn't mention is that during the mission where you're in Afghanistan, if you manage to not kill kravchenko, he'll tell you Menendez: "Even has friends within the C.I.A." implying he started to deal within the governments ranks Subtly long before the events of BO2. Which also ends up correlating with the twist where you have the choice of shooting Mason or sparing his life; I also believe he's mentioned only once in BO3, but it doesn't provide much information other that he's dead. And that because of the attacks during the finale of BO2, the world created a new defense systems.
That's also cool because it's basically a reward for sparing Kravchenko in the form of a hint - the quote will echo when you're about to shoot Mason, basically warning you "Don't listen to Hudson, Menendez has compromised him." It's a neat full circle moment where Mason can potentially save his own life by saving someone else's (and resisting the temptation of revenge).
@Kazmord Precisely why Menendez character is so threatening and frightening. He has the charm and resources as you said to make stuff happen, a shame they haven't touched his story again or created a character with the same caliber.
There's also the CIA intel you can gather in the drug lab during the mission where you search Menendez's compound.
most call of duties have a sense of victory at the end except for black ops 2 and on a special note Ghost (where you actually didn't win)
I prefer Markov but menendez is still a great villain.
Let's goooooo

you removed the entire political background behind the whole thing and made it completely personal. Yes that is a big part of it but remember the factory owner who first scarred Josifina was American and the dictator they suffered under was US-backed, then a US-backed Noriega captured him. The countries he rallies are all ones affected by American imperialism.
That's fair. If I ever went back to COD videos I would acknowledge the political aspect more, as I'm more aware of/comfortable with these topics now than I was 2 years ago. COD's politics aren't super deep but I appreciate Treyarch for giving so much dimension to a character who is a villain because of US imperialism. BO2 is a story about revenge first and foremost but the political dimension is something I would look at if I ever redid this video. Thanks for the comment.
I know this is random, but you think they should bring back Joseph Bowman?
Like... from the dead?
do rorke next plz
Bro ghosts pales in comparison to BO2
He's ass, barely has any screen time and extremely generic
@@ChukedIIIL take… ghosts story was good. Multiplayer not so much..
@@TheeWolfiee1 replay Ghosts, you will realize how incoherent and botched and pointless the story is
This video is amazing. I love the America sucks joke on YT. Cordis Die with 2.1 billion subscribers, probably made a video titled how I converted mr beast to a cult.
How did you get your FOV so high?
Gameplay isn't mine. Peep the description for sources
No he ain’t
