Whenever you feel sad or unhappy, remember that there are people who spend every single day of their lives going on BO2 and hacking the game, ruining the experience for the few hundreds of people who still get on the game.
@Blaze Gaming map vote, red dots on mini map, reload cancel, lobby leaderboards, GOOD MAPS, etc but add perk charge up times, doors, sbmm, second chance, verticality, etc yeah definitely didnt miss a beat👍
if they do remaster it, I hope they don't try to change it or mess with anything besides the next-gen graphics. Just re-release the game as is. Its literally perfect
Bro I use to watch you play bo2 like 10 years ago 🤯 hard to believe I’m a grown adult and can never go back to these good ol days, thanks for the nostalgia trip 🥹
No slide cancelling. No broken metas. No aggressive microtransactions. No grind mindsets. A fun pace to play the game at, not too fast not too slow. This is how CoD should be
as someone who played bo2 for 6 years, im surprised at how many people still played it all the time, snd was poopin, but theres been a massive hacker problem since 2014ish. it got to the point where i only played bo2 off my mobile hotspot because they liked hitting me offline so much, and i just had to restart it and could be gaming again in like 30 seconds, so naturally i would re join the hackers repeatedly until they called a truce, good times.
I will be flashbang by this game's nostalgia for my entire life bro this was the only call of duty where I had actual fun without getting screwed by matchmaking. 🙏🙏🙏
really glad to be back, hate to be one of those viewers but i stopped watching for awhile after BO3 but you’re one of my local channels and I absolutely love your content and am here to stay.
BO2 is a goat and the end of the Golden era of CoD being respectable. I enjoy some of the later games (like IW's campaign, WW2, BO4, MW, and CW) but nothing's slapped as hard since
This was my first online game when I was 10. I was awful but I loved this game. I had horrible internet and was always at 300+ ping. But the game was and is incredible and will forever hold a place in my heart. I pray for a remaster all the time. My assumption would be in 2025 they remaster it bc it took place in 2025 if it isn't sooner.
I remember that I used to try so hard to find hackers back in the day and never could and only found one in like 1/300 lobbies. My little kid brain really wanted diamond camos then now it’s every game
the biggest mystery about this video is the dude in 7:45 still with chloe after those years, just recently and made the emblem on a 10 year old game or not together anymore but doesnt bother changing
Nice video, hopefully next time you do another BO2, or any other the other games, you also try out Plutonium and these other services to showcase the modern, more safe alternatives
Back in the days where me and the boys would play with an old ps3 on a small screen split into 4 while using crap controllers. We would play gun game and who ever wins the other 3 would give him money. Such great times dude.
This game, alongside all the 360 cod games, was put on sale like 1 or 2 weeks ago on xbox, so that probably explains why they were some low levels and more people than usual.
i have an OG gamertag on xbox and every now and again my black ops 2 stats and loadouts and stuff change around. Not nearly as often as Merk, but every few years.
*10,000 LIKES* for more OG COD stuff!
Which throwback COD should I play next?
im sad skipper removed my classes from your account i made some really good classes for you and fixed your stats
Black ops 1!
Thank you for saving bo3 man . although we have to deal with people who are using 6 perks and 6 attachments. But it's a big improvement
you have to try some bo4 pc , ive reinstalled that game and im having some really good time on it
WaW
I feel bad for anyone that didn't get to play Bo2 during its peak, such great times for Troling,Trickshotting,Pubstomping, and zombies all in 1 game
I think about it so much
Don't forget Custom Games.
@Psycrow Same. I wish I could do that with all the older golden era CODs.
I don’t it’s they loss
Oh the fun, good times good times
I don't care if I am blinded by nostalgia, I want to go back
You aren't it was a great game
Don't we all?
@@yaboiflats6986 he is
@@VioletVerityOphelia no
It's objectively the best cod game. That's not being blind.
Nothing will replace the love I had and have for this game… middle school me never had so much fun
RIP BO2 😥
We will remember you
Hell naw bro, Black Ops 2 on PC is one of the most played games (PLUTONIUM) and it has a serius anticheat
F
Bro mw2 2022 is more dead than black ops 2
@@gonzo-py The steam version is also fun. Only the console memories will never be brought back unfortunately.

I only use a mod menu to stop other hackers, it takes ages to get lobbies but they're always great lobbies :D
@@hellsfxllenangel2093 god's worker
@@hellsfxllenangel2093 bro thats what i used to do lol
This is hands down the best game from the physical gameplay to the soundtrack😩
Cold war and bo2 soundtrack along with other r soooo good
I'd be so down for a bo2 revival day..
Ive just played bo 2 and said the same thing
Man I lost my copy when a wildfire swept through my town like 5 years ago. Still miss it. If I revival day happens ig I’ll have to rebuy it lol
@@majura3743 digital store may have it cheap. Keep your eye out for sales!
They better make bo2 remastered in 2025, that would be very fitting haha
I still got my ps3 not my original one but I got my ps3 and I got bo2 permanently in there cuz time to time I’ll hop back on to hit some trick shots
Getting on old cods you just see how much the newer games are missing😭😭
@Blaze Gaming map vote, red dots on mini map, reload cancel, lobby leaderboards, GOOD MAPS, etc
but add perk charge up times, doors, sbmm, second chance, verticality, etc
yeah definitely didnt miss a beat👍
@Blaze Gaming I haven't played recent cods, do recent cods have theatre mode? That was sick back in the day
I miss Black Ops 2 man, really hope they remaster it or something
if they do remaster it, I hope they don't try to change it or mess with anything besides the next-gen graphics. Just re-release the game as is. Its literally perfect
The fact that the cheaters tried to add and invite you is sad. People have no shame.
Bro I use to watch you play bo2 like 10 years ago 🤯 hard to believe I’m a grown adult and can never go back to these good ol days, thanks for the nostalgia trip 🥹
This was peak CoD this was home and MW3 these two games got me through middle and high school.
No slide cancelling. No broken metas. No aggressive microtransactions. No grind mindsets. A fun pace to play the game at, not too fast not too slow. This is how CoD should be
Yea honestly tho i was 6/7 at the time and i had so much fun on my uncles ps3 with my cousin and him playing custom games or multiplayer
the best cod to ever exist we need a remaster no matter how people play the game just remaster this game
can’t wait for the next bo2 24 years later
2025 they have to remaster it
as someone who played bo2 for 6 years, im surprised at how many people still played it all the time, snd was poopin, but theres been a massive hacker problem since 2014ish. it got to the point where i only played bo2 off my mobile hotspot because they liked hitting me offline so much, and i just had to restart it and could be gaming again in like 30 seconds, so naturally i would re join the hackers repeatedly until they called a truce, good times.
Even the lobby screen music was top tier.
This game came out when I was in 8th grade and now I'm a college graduate wondering if anyone I played with still remembers me :,)
they do brother
I REAAAALLY want this to be remaster for CoD 2023, who cares about MWIII let's remaster this GOAT
I hope when they do we stay in the same lobbies and have no sbmm
That transition at 2:51 was so clean
Playing blackops at its peak was an experience. Would have been a better experience if I was good back then but one nonetheless.
I will be flashbang by this game's nostalgia for my entire life bro this was the only call of duty where I had actual fun without getting screwed by matchmaking. 🙏🙏🙏
Merk: shoots an AFK player
Also Merk: "There we go"
BO2 was peak CoD.
bro I genuinely can’t believe my all time favourite xbox/playstation is now 11.
i remember spending hours making emblems. what i’d do to go back
The theater mods still work, multiplayer is sad however zombies can be very fun and private match trickshotting is also a good alternative
really glad to be back, hate to be one of those viewers but i stopped watching for awhile after BO3 but you’re one of my local channels and I absolutely love your content and am here to stay.

I would play a bo2 remaster so much its crazy

Time for a cod ghosts revival day!!!!
This and world at war were my favorite cods ever easily
Waw poo
People commenting 2 mins after video drops, but the videos 13mins long. Lmfao! Keep up the good work Erik!
It’s crazy how there’s 600 more players on bo2 than ghosts on ps4 in 2023.
I remember that I used to try so hard to find hackers back in the day and never could and only found one in like 1/300 lobbies. My little kid brain really wanted diamond camos then now it’s every game
I just saw a post on insta on how this game is currently selling more than MW2
When merk upload an og cod video everything is gùuuuuuuud
M3rk I always associated you with having the best outro song ever 'Rush - Moleman' for the sake of nostalgia please bring it back!
I remember playing when i was way too young for COD, hopped back on recently and findin decent lobbys every now and then
the biggest mystery about this video is the dude in 7:45 still with chloe after those years, just recently and made the emblem on a 10 year old game or not together anymore but doesnt bother changing
That bus horn at 10:59 really made me snap my head up at the bus stop to see if it was coming…
omg this brings back so much memories, i wish these days would come back but sadly they never will
The ps3 lobby’s got almost no hackers
I loves these old games “… years later” videos
Been playing this game for the very first time over the past week, having the time of my life.
I am so happy the first gun back was the M8...I swear man, hitting perfect shots with that gun NEVER gets old. 10/10 my favorite COD gun.
Can't believe it's been 11 years
Screw bo3 revival day. We need bo2 revival day on og consoles
…. Just rebought the game after years and this is the first video that pops up on TH-cam. All is right in the world
As younger kid I played BO2 when it came out, I was 12 at the time and it's hard to believe that all those years passed but still a great game.
Thanks you Merk for showing me the Plutonium ways. ❤
so sad to see the state of BO2 in 2023. I really hope we get a remaster one day
it’s really sad of how a game that used to have a large community and now is a place for modders. i miss bo2 so much and is still my favorite cod.
At a closer range ballistic knives shoot more upwards. Discovered this shooting the dart board in buried zombies.
I havent watched you in so long but its cool to see you playing black ops 2 again
3:04 in all the time I’ve played BO2 I’ve never seen this. There’s no way their paying attention to this now
1 Year later. He's still at 4.1 Million Subscribers
bo2 pc still has a dedicated playerbase, theres a few hackers but we all just join a new lobby when we encounter them
Don't they have a MWX4 version of BO2? I know it has a different name, but isn't it essentially the same thing?
@@TheHulk1850 yeah but I like having my original stats. There's enough people where I've prestiged a couple times since I picked it back up in 2022
I remember buying this game on launch day back in high school. It makes me feel old 😢. Good memories
Nice video, hopefully next time you do another BO2, or any other the other games, you also try out Plutonium and these other services to showcase the modern, more safe alternatives
“Craaaazzzzyyyyyy trickshot “ flashbacks to the good old days
i havent watched you in years but yk i had to watch this for the oldtime sake
Still forgot how intense gun game was in bo1 and 2
Woah toast is a gamertag you get when you watch a theatre clip. I just freeze their consoles when I see them.
I remember aiming on 360 being fairly good
BO 2 and OG MW3 best cod ever !!!
Back in the days where me and the boys would play with an old ps3 on a small screen split into 4 while using crap controllers. We would play gun game and who ever wins the other 3 would give him money. Such great times dude.
I almost cried when I heard the Evo pop off .
I remember playing Grief mode on zombies, where 8 players could compete in teams of 4. Good times..
I can’t believe this is 11 years old holy shit I love the soundtracks on here
Erik with another W!!!!!
Keep going bruv
Weird how older games are still alive WITH active servers supported by Activision
It’s crazy there’s all these hackers and 11 years old and they still think it’s worth 60 dollars
A simpler, happier time
ill never forget BO2 i went on a 500ish win streak in gun game until a hacker ended it by freezing my game when i looked at him :(
Man has time passes. 11 YEARS damnn.. ❤
Still play this till this day
been watching m3rk since this game was launched
much love brother
Surprisingly BO2 on steam doesn’t have a lot of modded lobbies. Everyone is still pretty chill and it feels like 2013 all over again
This game, alongside all the 360 cod games, was put on sale like 1 or 2 weeks ago on xbox, so that probably explains why they were some low levels and more people than usual.
11:05
✨This guy a master✨lol
Don't play old cods on console unless you're playing on LAN.
The game was on a discount for 15 dollars a few days ago
4:05 merk trying to hit that trickshot with like 4 sensivity 💀
If I knew Treyarch wouldn't mess it up, I'd be begging for a remake of BO2, but I'm almost certain that they would ruin it somehow.
8:45 Someone calling you 🤣🤣
I feel your anger about hackers and stuff but I had so much fun watching this video, thank you!!
We need Bo2 remastered
A j tag 360 wow I’m getting old, haven’t heard of those in at leased 7 years
11 years later. Now it's a ghost town
Bo2 was such an amazing game, I can’t believe they won’t remaster it
I feel old, thank you.
The DSR sound effect 💦
i have an OG gamertag on xbox and every now and again my black ops 2 stats and loadouts and stuff change around. Not nearly as often as Merk, but every few years.
What a journey
Remington shotgun from BO2 still gives me nightmares
i actually manifested this video lmaoo i said “ he gone make a bo2 video soon”
🔥🔥🔥
