Turns out, after you shoot him, you run up to him and pull the mask off, you see that it's mason. If you shot him in the leg, mason will appear in the epilogue cutscenes, if you shoot him in the head, then no, he will not appear.

Yeah it doesnt make sense that mason just decided to became deadbeat dad and dip out on his friends and son. And the graveyard scene when mason dies is just perfect ending to black ops series basically.
The best ending, but with Alex Mason's death is the perfect ending for me. You can feel that sad emotion in the end after all that you've done in the game and also, a real main protagonist death is more ironic and better for the story on every video game or movie than a back to life edition.
@@malgdrummeragreed. woods wants menedez dead every opporunity he gets, even risking his men to get it. why would he suddenly have a change of heart and only wound "menedez" when the chance to kill him is handed to him?
The ending I first got was alternate ending but what happened was Harper-dead defalco-died at colossus farid-dead Salazar-alive karma-alive menendez-dead mason-dead
The first ending I got was Harper alive, Karma dead, DeFalco dead, Farid dead, Salazar dead, Menendez dead, Mason dead and Woods alive. But after a while I noticed you had to do the strike force missions in order to get Harper dead, Karma alive, DeFalco dead, Salazar alive, Menendez alive, Mason alive and Woods alive to get the ending I wanted.
There's only one ending for me. The true ending. Karma Lives, Mason lives, and Menendez lives. He wanted to be Martyred. I denied him the satisfaction. To get the best ending though, you have to let DeFalco live and take Karma. Rescue Karma in the special ops. Kill Harper as Farid. Farid will protect Karma during Salzar's betrayal. Let Admiral live, and complete ALL special ops. Things will work out and the world will be saved. Just make sure you don't kill Menedez, no matter HOW badly you want it.
@@chrissant6277 This is mostly a 100% good ending, where everything works out and you've secured a bright future. Menendez is ruined, Karma lives, China and America join forces, the aircraft carrier is secured thanks to both the Admiral and China's drones, saving Karma in the process again. Oh and if you want all the camos, this is how you do it.
Treyarch said in their official timeline video that Menendez is killed. In BO3 the world is fucking torn apart, so Karma probably dies too (not 100% sure, but this can be a cause). If you gather all the intels in BO2 Woods won't trust Hudson and so you'll save A. Mason. So the only things that are 100% canon are Menendez death and Mason is alive, Karma's death is most likely canon. Btw you can kill DeFalco in the mission, you will save Karma and everything's good, the side mission you get by not killing DeFalco has no other uses. The rest is correct
You know, I will always remember that just by pure accident I said to myself: "What if i only could save mason" and just shot his legs by pure accident didn't even notice the special dialogue and when I finish the game boom Mason is alive and I get and achievement. I was in complete disbelief BO2 is really the best game of all
@@TinTin12121 Black Ops doesn't care about any chaos. We had the biggest chaos, and won. We will win again, because you can not find any other soldiers like ours: Section, Alex, Frank. Chaos will not win. Our target was Menendez......
It is canon after menendez’s first escape attempt was ruined by Karma years later he tries to escape in a soldiers uniform and his plan is seen through by soldiers who kill him on sight
@matthewwellington2637 yeah, but honestly the way the OG characters are written makes them seem so off. I liked Cold War's campaign a lot but I really don't consider it canon
I would've loved it if Black Ops 3 was either set in the near future after the events of BO2, or if you played as David's son and the game actually referenced the storylines and characters of the previous games, instead of the fucking mess we got that totally ignored BO1 and 2.
I mean they could get a SO MUCH better game and history if they did the Good ending canon Because "I will see you a year from now" could be that menendez escapes or someone free him and a new evil gets in place
To be honest, Most player would definitely kileld Menendez despite that what he wants. Me though i got the neutral ending, Harper survives, Cloe survives, Mason survives, Woods didn't, Menendez fcking kills himself.
You can’t save Karma if you also save Harper. Karma only survives the battle on the ship if Farid is there to protect her from dying. You have to save Farid and Briggs, as well as completing all Strikeforce missions, in order for Karma to live through the end of the game.
@@yashshukla7985haha me too, but i didnt feel terrible , Menendez is a great villain anyway, seeing how evil win against good convincingly , since the movie se7en
As much as I hate it and hate Mendez killing woods I also love it at the same time just the interaction between woods and him. However since woods dies its not the cannon ending otherwise that ending is painful and beautiful
The "Bad ending" is for me, the canon ending. Most people like the "happy" ending it seems but for me, the "Bad" end is the most fitting with the dark themes of the Black Ops universe. All the characters were bastards, they all did bad things, and they all end up killing each other. Plus Menendez is such an awesome villian, I love the idea of him basically getting his revenge and peacing out. A wonderfully dark way of closing out the Waw/BlOps storyline.
@@monkeboy121 Black Ops 3 from what I remember doesn’t even follow the same storyline so it doesn’t really make a difference. They may as well all be canon because the story is over regardless. The Mendendez kills everyone ending is still my favorite though.
I like how Menendez still showed Woods some level of respect for him despite their mutual hatred for each other. He was a villain for sure, but he still had a moral standard for himself. Best cod villain hands down
i still to this day dont know why there hasnt been a black ops with its campaign focused on mason again since he was still alive after 30 years, he obviously had to of had a crazy ass story since he never made contact once in those 30 years, WE NEED TO SEE IT please Treyarch give us another black ops with mason like bo1
Guys so next years CoD is going to be set in the gulf war and the year after that we’re getting a sequel to BO2 that is taking place 5 years after the events of 2025 (You killing Mennedez is the canon ending.). So we may get a David Mason origin story in the Gulf War campaign and the next chapter to David and Harpers story.
I could just imagine how awesome a remaster would look, especially if in realistic they took off the slow timing to shoot enemies in slow motion and instead you have to do it fast and with skill. That'll be awesome. They just need to add alot more enemies and blood and gore graphics. The story line was great. I honestly think a remaster will surpass battlefield at this point and I'm a die hard battlefield fan
This is my favorite call of duty storyline one of the best games I ever played back when I was younger now its my birthday today and im watching this video
I got the "bad ending" when I played for the first time and I'm not sure if I would call that the "worst" ending, it's the worst when it comes to outcome, but it seems like what would actually happen.
the best part of everything for me is that David and Alex are just having a father/son moment after 30 years and woods its like "nah fuck it, give me some smokes", truly a legendary campaing
Honestly canon ending should be the one video shows but mason dies, why did mason became deadbeat dad and just randomly show up at ending and the graveyard scene is beautiful and sad.
@@prisonlessungabunga4329 and it could be a sign of David And Harper's friendship, because it can only be obtained if Harper lives and we kill Menendez
I think the bad ending has the more sense with the themes of the story, that of course if you kill Mason because then it goes from happy reunion to sad death with no connection between. I get weird
I think out of all the COD villians, Raul takes the cake. He gets the most screen time and his motive drives so hard home to heart. A close second is Makarov.
Basically with all the sh*t what's going on the U.S. society. There's no need for a game to show us on what's gonna happen next. Just staying tuned for local news!
@@socramzetroc1535 jesus, bring your fucking politics somewhere else, this is black ops 2 the VIDEOGAME, not the news channel. Im just pissed that some loser has to bring up politics EVERYWHERE they go. Its actually dumb how many people do this bs.
To those who say Harper dying shouldn't be a part of the "good" ending, while it sucks it had to happen, it HAD to happen. Farid HAS to live to save Kharma. It's also a poignant and meaningful way of showing the true sacrifice it takes to keep us safe and free. Good men like harper give everything, including their lives, to give us the lives we lead. Without that sacrifice we would all be in a real hell. Nothing good is free, Harpers sacrifice meant something in the end. That's the best way to honor men like him, men like Woods and Mason, make their sacrifices worth something. While the games are obviously fictional, the heroism displayed is a real thing that real men do. Whether it was MACV-SOG in Vietnam or Marines at Iwo-Jima or Rangers in Afghanistan/Iraq, real man gave their everything for us, even if they were lied to about it. We should remember that REAL sacrifice and do our best for those men who gave everything, even if they where forcibly misguided by politicians. And on that note, hold the politicians who send our heroes to die accountable, don't hate the soldier who fought in Iraq because he was there, hate the lying politician that FORCED him there.
I refuse to accept that. Had a hell of a time fighting side by side with that guy. I tried to shoot Menendez than shooting that absolute unit in the face.
Did you kill Briggs? If you did then he can’t reactivate the Obama’s defenses and the ship gets blown up along with Karma in it. If Salazar is alive then he dies on the ship as well You need Karma saved, Farid alive (which means Harper dead), Strike Force completed, and Briggs alive or the Obama is destroyed by SDC
Seeing the events that take place during the canon ending and comparing it this year's recent events.... it's really mind boggling. (I'm talking about the attack and riot at the capital building)
yea, I played early cod games and MW 1 and 2, but none of them were anywhere near as engaging as OP 1 and 2 I think silent protags thing played a major role in that, as the one you're playing as has no personality and therefore can't really be related to in any way well, in cod1 you can see Private Martin's thoughts in his diary on loading screens, but that's about it

the way woods said "this is your dad" in such a chill way was so funny lol.
the best part of everything for me is that David and Alex are just having a father/son moment after 30 years and woods its like "nah fuck it, give me some smokes", truly a legendary campaing
The alt ending was so sad
yes
Looking back at it,its a actually an emotional but good ending,much better than the bad ending(woods dead)
The best ending is the canon one?
No its not
No, then the BO3 wouldnt happened if Karma able to solved the worm.
All this time later and I had NO idea harper could survive. HOW!?
As Farid, when given the choice to kill harper or Menendez, you try to kill Menendez but he counters it and kills Farid but Harper lives
I remember getting the bad ending for my first time, I was just like RUN THAT SHIT BACK and completely restarted the entire campaign. Worth it tho.
the fact that this game accurately predicted life is insane
Where have you been for 30 years?
Mason: do you know how much they charge for child support?
8:50 mason be like
“Okay my brain just committed sucide”
So the real ending is basically Menendez plan succeeding? So he still wins and the canon ending is bad lol.
Crazy that you commented this 7 days ago and 1 day after your comment Kamar De Los Reyes (Raul Menendez voice actor) passed away. R.I.P 🕊
Right?
“Where are my F###ING SMOKES?” never gets old
Honestly canon ending should be the one video shows but mason dies, why did mason became deadbeat dad and just randomly show up at ending and the graveyard scene is beautiful and sad.
I got the cannon ending as my first ending
i fuckin love how the music gets really intense after Woods says "This is your dad."
*Menendez literally butchered Frank Woods*
Woods' corpse: ''I want to sleep, could really use your help since I'm f-ing dead''.
Menendez: ''Okay.''
These scenes (Both Blackops Games) we’re straight out of a movie, definitely would’ve been Oscar Award winning had they made them
best memories - Black Ops 2 / Black Ops / World At War was three most fantastic fps games in all history
I love how Karma just casually stops a global malware virus
“Ass” - Alex Mason’s first words after disappearing for 30 years
canon ending is - mason dies, menendez dies and karma lives
9:49 when menendez realise his whole plan failed
Canon ending: Mason, Menendez death, Karma alive (Harper Ending)
Section: “You talking to the dead sarge?”
Woods: “Nah, they talk to me”
Why do you call the first ending the "canon" one? It's up to the player...
It's the one that leads to BO3
@@Fesiug Yeah, but BO3 and 4 suck ass, and aren't canon. Wink wink.
he's true
@@Fesiug right*
@@iim4xii129 because it is cannon. It actually happens.
I was sad and worried about the little boys sister 1:42
It is like how menendez lost Josefina in the fire
@@prisonlessungabunga4329 and it could be a sign of David And Harper's friendship, because it can only be obtained if Harper lives and we kill Menendez
The good ending in games is always the canon ending. No matter how painful.
Unless it requires Harper dying.
except for metro 2033 where the bad ending is canon
@@donkey3413 Oh facts though I completely forgot
Coming back to this after all we know from bo6 and knowing that in the canon ending mason does in fact die is crazy
I think the bad ending has the more sense with the themes of the story, that of course if you kill Mason because then it goes from happy reunion to sad death with no connection between. I get weird
I love how David almost ignores his Dad sitting on the bed until Woods has to point him out
He notices him, as he asks how he’s doing. He just doesn’t realize it’s actually his Dad while Woods claim he’s just “Al.”
Any ending with woods and mason alive is the best
I think out of all the COD villians, Raul takes the cake. He gets the most screen time and his motive drives so hard home to heart. A close second is Makarov.
You forgot something in the Best ending,
*You forgot to save Harper*
Wrong.
You need to kill Harper for Farid can take the bullet for Karma, so the world would be saved by Karma
@@miker0tch_ yes
4:37 This is starting to look scarily accurate to modern day
Predictive programming ? Who knows maybe is just conspiracy.
I thought in the cannon, Menendez was killed in prison after David let him live
It is. This video is wrong
no that’s the good ending
Just beat the campaign again got the canon ending but holy so many years without knowing there’s this many endings
Actually the "best ending" is the cannon one
You sure
@@Nomad958
No. He pulled it out his ass
I say the Canon ending is the one you like the most
@@InnocentBiscuitBoy no. If karma lived or menendez lived, black ops3 wouldn't have happened.
@@B1g_B0sssss only if it didn't happen
what happens next game if you have the canon ending and all the other endings?? can someone tell me??
Basically with all the sh*t what's going on the U.S. society.
There's no need for a game to show us on what's gonna happen next.
Just staying tuned for local news!
@@socramzetroc1535 jesus, bring your fucking politics somewhere else, this is black ops 2 the VIDEOGAME, not the news channel. Im just pissed that some loser has to bring up politics EVERYWHERE they go. Its actually dumb how many people do this bs.
@@brandan5708 Like he aint wrong. You can now play CoD Advanced WW2 with women character that like painting
One of the best campaigns I’ve played in COD
4 more years until we get the old youtube layout back 🙌
Any ending where my buddy Harper lives,
It goes.
Yessir, fuck America's stability
I love Woods' childlike glee in "this is your dad!"
The thing that I’ve noticed after all these years is that Woods was a Recon Marine
Mason just saying “ass” is funny to me
To those who say Harper dying shouldn't be a part of the "good" ending, while it sucks it had to happen, it HAD to happen. Farid HAS to live to save Kharma. It's also a poignant and meaningful way of showing the true sacrifice it takes to keep us safe and free. Good men like harper give everything, including their lives, to give us the lives we lead. Without that sacrifice we would all be in a real hell. Nothing good is free, Harpers sacrifice meant something in the end. That's the best way to honor men like him, men like Woods and Mason, make their sacrifices worth something. While the games are obviously fictional, the heroism displayed is a real thing that real men do. Whether it was MACV-SOG in Vietnam or Marines at Iwo-Jima or Rangers in Afghanistan/Iraq, real man gave their everything for us, even if they were lied to about it. We should remember that REAL sacrifice and do our best for those men who gave everything, even if they where forcibly misguided by politicians. And on that note, hold the politicians who send our heroes to die accountable, don't hate the soldier who fought in Iraq because he was there, hate the lying politician that FORCED him there.
I refuse to accept that. Had a hell of a time fighting side by side with that guy. I tried to shoot Menendez than shooting that absolute unit in the face.
Real canon ending: Avenged Sevenfold plays Carry On with Woods as the drummer and Menendez as the 2nd guitarist.
Why tf is the actual world turning into the bo2 universe wtf
I’m legit putting the pieces together rn as well
I swear to god in 2 years if i saw a news saying a bunch of US drones being hacked my knees will be blown and i’ll sit on a wheelchair
In Loving Memory Of
Kamar de los Reyes
AKA Raul Menendaz
(11/8/1967-12/24/2023)
A7X ending is the only real ending!
Amazing content and I love you
I tried getting the best ending and karma,mason, and Raul all live but it gave me the bad ending for some reason
Did you do the side missions?
@@Capt-mv2kw yeah
It might be a bug in your game
Did you kill Briggs? If you did then he can’t reactivate the Obama’s defenses and the ship gets blown up along with Karma in it. If Salazar is alive then he dies on the ship as well
You need Karma saved, Farid alive (which means Harper dead), Strike Force completed, and Briggs alive or the Obama is destroyed by SDC
Menendez is probably one of the best villains of the entire saga. Hell, the best COD villain overall
Seeing the events that take place during the canon ending and comparing it this year's recent events.... it's really mind boggling.
(I'm talking about the attack and riot at the capital building)
yea it really crazy
You mean the leisure walk at the caption building. The riots was the blm people
my guy 😂it looks a lot more reminiscent of summer 2020 objectively
@@N0VEMBYR I'm gonna be honest with you, I don't even remember writing this comment.
Need to revise this mate, no longer the canon ending
I don't care what anyone says Black Ops 1 & 2 have the best characters and stories out of any Call of Duty.
yea, I played early cod games and MW 1 and 2, but none of them were anywhere near as engaging as OP 1 and 2
I think silent protags thing played a major role in that, as the one you're playing as has no personality and therefore can't really be related to in any way
well, in cod1 you can see Private Martin's thoughts in his diary on loading screens, but that's about it
As far as I’m concerned, this is where the “Black Ops” timeline ends
It would be so cool that in 2025 the year where BO2 happened they release a remastered or remake of this game
2024 is bo1 remaster
