"A decent port of a sure to be fun game."
4 stars"

Treyarch has always given more to the PC crowd than Infinity Ward. PC gamers can rest assured that Black Ops 2 will have dedicated servers, many customisable settings and DX11 features. Besides that, the game does actually look like a lot of fun. Treyarch is even innovating within the singleplayer campaign with things like multiple endings and sandbox-esque missions. Zombies mode is also having its largest ever presence in a Call of Duty game. With the mode now running from the multiplayer executable, Treyarch has gained the ability to implement multiple zombies game-modes, up to 8 players and double the zombies in the same game, and a more structured storyline.

All in all, Black Ops 2 looks like a huge improvement over all Call of Duty games before it, and that's without even mentioning the inevitably addictive and fun multiplayer modes. There is still room for improvement, however – the graphics are still average if not below it, and the requirements are a bit high for what it looks like. Hopefully the game won't be released as poorly optimised as Black Ops 1 was.

"Terrible Service Treyarch"
1 stars"

As I am sure many are well aware, Treyarch have missled the PC gaming community.

They have announced on the Black ops 2 website that there will indeed be “Dedicated Servers”. However, there will also be a Matchmaking system in place, much like Modern Warfare 2 and 3.

The idea is that instead of someone hosting the game, the games are hosted on data centers around the world. This of course doesnt affect gameplay (That we are used to in Black ops 1). Instead this means we can not admin our servers and kick/ban hackers and griefers in real time. We have to report them and Treyarchs admins will then proceed to ban them from every data center they own.

All in all this is not good news for the PC community who would much rather admin thier own servers. Bad form Treyarch…bad form.

"Operating System"

I would love to buy this fantastic game, however I'm still considering about the operating system. Now, I have installed MW3 in my computer, and it runs really smooth, however, when I tried to install black ops 1, the graphic card seems couldn't handle it (mine was Intel HD 3000). I guess Treyarch require a better performance computer for this, so can anyone please tell me whether my GPU can play this game-
