The server was populated because the community decided to fill the servers on BO2 and it just so happened to be the day you decided to record lol. From people who got on before this date, they were saying the servers normally have about 500-1000 people playing daily.
You were playing bo2 on revival day that's why there was 3000 players but on just a normal day there's around 1.5k to 2k players so the game is still pretty active
Doesn't surprise me that this game is still alive, honestly. MW2 is a decisive game, you either love it or hate it. BO2 was praised to be the best Call of Duty game to ever be made. Not by me, MW3 is still my personal favorite, but my friends and I played this game probably for a good 5 years.
BO2 was literally the last ever cod to cater to every single community. Casuals, Pubs, Snipers, Trickshotters.. god the good ol times.. Waiting for sm2! Also thanks for the uploads merk! :)
Black ops II must have taken up a lot of my time when I finally had Xbox live, like it’s insane, it’s my favourite cod and was probably the only one I was excited to get the DLC for as opposed to feeling I needed to get it
Hold up, if BO2 dropped November 2012, shouldn’t this video be made later this year in November? As usual, great video. Glad to see people still playing this game.
Only real issue with bo2 is all the mods 😂, and then you have the times to plus because sometimes it’s 1000-3000 players. Bo2 really does deserve a remaster especially because that many people still play and the game is still fun with its multiplayer and it’s a simple game unlike anything we have now really. Most of the time I hop on I just stick to zombies as mp can be well tedious lol. Good video and comedy as always.
I straight up had no clue that the little yellow lights on the globe were real people online. I didnt put that into consideration, but just thinking of that as a feature from a decade old game is insane
The best CoD ever in my opinion hands down. Sniping was at its prime as well as trickshotting. I remember getting this game Christmas morning in 2012 and it was the best feeling ever to come home every day after school and play this game with the homies and just play all day, everyday during the summer break. Ahhh the nostalgia.
My brother and I would play hardcore just to get team mates kicked. We’d find teammates using things like claymores or whatever the planted explosives were and we’d kill ourselves by sitting in front of it and shooting it. Only took 3 and the person would get kicked from the match.
Yoooooooo im actually in the video im [LVME] MatchedBag65942 im so happy thank you merk so much im glad i got to meet you but well you know didnt meet you ive been a long time fan been here since your oooold videos im so glad i finally got in a game with you
We don’t care what cod you play it’s the content you bring along with it :), also who doesn’t wanna see these old cods more? When they were the latest thing out they were hella crazy experiences I wish they still made me feel that way now
man I was 12 when I played this game sadly I wasn’t able to play it in it’s prime but I won’t forget the memories I had. hopefully they remaster this game. I would love it.
Black Ops 2 is definetily one of the best, if not the best COD of all time. It's my personal favorite and many people would agree how amazing it is. I'm 100% positive that if they just remastered this game in place of making a new COD, it would be played for years upon years. They could even add new skins and cosmetics if they wanted to make money like they do now.
Tbh I know people would argue that MW/MW2 are the best CoD games, but to me this one is the pinnacle of FPS games. We got the pick 10 system, custom emblems, first ever DLC gun (Peacekeeper), arguably a smoother sniping mechanic compared to MW. This game has it all for me and I'm sad they don't make CoD like this anymore.
I genuinely enjoy all these throw back cods tho I don't own any but I enjoy merky so much. Thank you for making these tough years go by faster merk 😥 ❤
*LIKE* this video for more BO2/OG COD stuff!
Genuinely shocked that I didn’t find ONE insane hacked lobby this time lmao
You just so happen to play BO2 on revival day.
Can't wait for more!!!
Could we get some mw3
You couldn't have made a BO2 video at a better time, yesterday was BO2 Revival Day
Please open lobby
Met a guy who used his ability to cheat to only kick people who were cheating in a match of SnD on standoff last night and it was beautiful.
Lol I used to do that when I played bo2 back in the days .. “you wanna cheat? “ .. I’ll headshot them across the map and they get mad at me 😂
You two are proof that hacks are still good if used to enhance the game or keep cheaters in check.
Yo that's best way to use cheats
bruh i remember in stand off someone got doxxed for hacking lol

he probably knows bro lmao
@@videogamez3238 if he knows, why is he acting all surprised there’s people playing?… 🤔
@@louiegraydon5535 exactly someone probably told him to hop on Bo2 or sum like that
on PS3 it's more like 1.5k. Im using a new account so I don't have any DLC, so that might be part of the issue though
@@akpil5230 true, I think he was playing on Xbox though
You just happened to play on bo2 revival day, everyone was hopping on bo2
He knew exactly what he was doing 😂
@@spanky1943 still 1k or 2k people are playing BO2 everyday if u play at the right time for me its at 1AM
was just about to comment this
@@spanky1943 he didnt tho
I mean bo2 is pretty populated in general doesn’t take more than 30 secs to find full lobby
We need to keep the servers on Xbox 360 alive to June 2025 when BO2 canonically takes place and have one massive celebration.
I'm OLDDDD

I'm down.
Legit
It’s weird that I’m 2 years we will be in 2025 I hope they remaster it for 2025

Mw3 needs some shine
He played this on bo2 revival day. The game is not usually this active I believe.
Nah bo2 wasn’t the best
mw3 my second favorite after bo1
Nah Mw2 was objectively better
it really hurts me to see this game overrun by modders. this was my favorite game in elementary school and one of my favorite games of all time.
Let’s just drop vanguard and populate Bo2 again. Have a set start date and from then on, we play Bo2 instead of vanguard. #reviveBo2
That's what I've done. Started playing older codd cause vanguard is hopeless

I still remember the day I got bo2. My brother and I raked my great grandmas yard and made $30. We went to Walmart and my mom covered the rest of it.
I'd like to point out, BO2, a 10 year old game, is a full $60 on Steam :)
It's on sale right now
Plutonium check that out on pc
" you guys are watching me play this more than the new cod games " yea because this one is 10000 times better
BO2 was the best cod of its time and it still is.

Most overall best COD game IMO

yes
Eh i actually really don’t like this game I have 100 hours on almost every cod mp execpt bo2

Bro the editing in this video is hilarious
I remember when this came out, my parents gave me the care package edition with the drone. Shit was epic. Still have it.
I literally bought this game on steam 3 days ago to play with my friends. Now Merk makes a video, what a coincidence.
2:31
That globe of all the people who are playing BO2 literally hasn't changed since the game got released.
Bo2 is my all time favorite cod. If they remaster it, I want them to change absolutely nothing about anything , besides the graphics
you gotta start talking to the people in the games, its what made the older call of duty's so good
Will never be the same 😕
I wish they would remaster this game but like keep everything the same lol
Yes, just make the graphics beautiful. Also would be nice to have weapon kits in zombies so i can put that beautiful diamon camo on guns in zombies
@The tricky tick No it’s not lol.
Man your videos and the way you talk and edit videos are so nostalgic its great I misses this
All in favor of bo2 remastered say "aye"
The older games are what I played when i was younger so its more fun to watch. Lost interest after MW but the old stuff never let me down
oh my goodness that image brought back so much nostalgia lol 0:46
I miss this game :(
bo2 rtemastered would be the best all time selling cod
Yoooooooo im actually in the video im [LVME] MatchedBag65942 im so happy thank you merk so much im glad i got to meet you but well you know didnt meet you ive been a long time fan been here since your oooold videos im so glad i finally got in a game with you
3:14 hearing that almost made me shed a tear 😭
you make me excited and bring me back to when i was 16 on black ops 1 came out
I think I played with best in class on revival day. He did the mom voice and gamed and chilled with us for a few s and d matches
I am shocked, you put in to perspective how much time has truly passed.

Seeing this game 10 years on still so popular brought a tear to my eye. Best cod of all time, no debate.
na
Nahh
Man I miss bo2 days man , I use to play bo1 & 2 on ps3 . Goood ol days , I’ll do anything to just game for a day with the old squad
3:16 that edit was perfect
this is one of my favorite videos from you in a while
Such a great game, I can see this one being remastered purely due to the fact it still has a decent player base for its age. They can smell money…
Maybe it'll be remastered in 2025.
6:41 “Hey what’s up guys we’re about to hit a no scope quad on Raid just… chilling outtttt. Watch out here it comes”
Love the videos keep up the great work
I miss this game so much.
Thx to you i get still the old vibes, keep up with your work Merk
Haven't seen your videos in years, brought back nastalgia
Dude the trickshotter "last last last" thing fucking killed me. I remember constantly hearing that in mw2.
M3RK "Not gonna be a normal game of SnD"

Probably played this on the 28th which is when BO2 was announced to be "revived" meaning players would be announced to play bo2 on that day
11:41 Bro, I forgot how funny the Militia soldiers sound when they die. This was my favorite 😂
One of the best CoD‘s
3:23 M3rk's classes are G E K O L O N I S E E R D
Thank god, I was hoping people would starting posting BO2 again. Love this game, hope it blows up again.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Lmao I just so happened to be looking at BO2 benchmarks and found this. I missed this man.
Quad feed with every weapon🥺

The two things that surprise me the most about this.
1. this many people still on the XBOX 360
2. the fact that it isnt hacked lobbies
You shoulda hopped on that mic bro 🤣
It was BO2 Revival Day on Friday last week. It was a blast
Please keep playing this Game it’s way better content than any other new COD:)
for 10 years ago the graphics are amazing still but... we need a remaster tho it will bring joy to the cod lovers hearts 🥰
3:30 🤣🤣🥲
Love your old cod videos Merk. Keep it up!
Savage vibes is incredible
that quad heashot at the end was so nice
high key got sad whenever you said “that’s gonna do it for this video” bo2 was such an amazing game all around.
I can’t believe it’s been 10 years
Love u merk ❤️❤️❤️❤️
He hit he hit 6:40
Omg the nostalgia 😭😭😭
It was BO2 day yesterday as well so thats why it was so lively
That thumbnail is beautiful…
The nostalgia when watching this man .....
I genuinely enjoy all these throw back cods tho I don't own any but I enjoy merky so much. Thank you for making these tough years go by faster merk 😥 ❤
The Vonderhaar edits get me every time😂
It’s crazy that we’re 3 years from the events of this campaign
the quad at the end had so much potential
It's alive cuz its revive day 😂✨
Brought me back man thank you👊😂
I miss 2012 😔
My man picked the perfect day he just so happened to play on revival day
i would play this now if it wasnt $40 on steam
it was bo2 revival day yesterday, that's why there was so many people when you played
The fact that bo2 is 10 years old makes me feel like an old man
At 6:51 when merk said "eXteNdEd cLiP" sounded like Gunzo from CoD mobile
Thats brings me memories of me and my brother playing on split screen... good times
HOLY HELL YOURE STILL AROUND LETS GOOOOO
Great vid. Miss BO2:(
I love the “x years later”. Great way to get through my surgery recovery
This is the best merk vid I've seen in a long time
