Black Ops 2 Veteran... without reloading

Returning to the quest to have a playthrough of every CoD, we take on the beloved Black Ops 2 - on Veteran of course. Naturally, that isn't nearly tough enough, so why don't we see if it's possible to beat the game without reloading? It turned out to be a good time for BO1, and it's always more fun to add a challenge to a repeat playthrough, even if this bordering on blind with how embarrassingly little I could remember about the plot.

Edited full game commentary playthrough.

I hope you realize how enjoyable watching these over multiple days while eating meals is. I appreciate ya work G

I had no right to laugh that hard at the little explosion when David falls out of the tree. Probably played this campaign 10 to 20 times. I would think when it came out. Back on the old farm when I didn't have good enough internet for multiplayer The loadouts in the campaign were absolutely legendary.

[Hamboni]

Been a rough couple of days and I'm so happy you posted. It will keep my mind off of things for a bit.

friendly reminder that Savimbis children sued Activision for the depiction of him in the death to the MPLA level

Definitely missed the original Woods voice actor. Shame he's not coming back for black ops 6. Genuinely makes such a huge difference to me when the voice actor changes on a character part way through. Nothing against the new guy, but to me it's never really the same character at all.

[ViperPilot]

Sour if you're up for it. A specialist play through of Infinite Warfare would be neat. Since it has a built-in crit system, its challenge would be built in, and it's always on veteran. Personally, I've done it once, and it was neat.

[coolbeans]

these videos last me so many meals, keep up the good work man 💪

[snowfloofcathug]

Put hundreds of hours in this game, easily my favourite (at least of older CoDs), and I must’ve played through the campaign on several occasions, yet I barely remember anything of it beyond disliking the bonus missions

[godlovinpaperclip]

"i wasnt in that chair" as Hudson to reference Graves not dying in the new game was hilarious

[MarinaInChains]

it's incredible seeing these videos because I grew up playing these games but didn't really speak english, just completely got by on vibes, and actually understanding the story now is crazy, these are so insane lmao

[ipastsavagei]

I chose all the wrong choices as a kid because i was too stupid to see the clearly obvious plot points

[ragingmisconseption]

I hope you know how much we all appreciate the insane amount of hard work you put into these videos, from the subtitles, to the cutscene progress bar. Great content to eat to, sleep to or just relax after work. Keep it up man <3

[unclebob]

Black ops 2 veteran whilst also going for the perfect ending is so frustratingly hard

[Sur]

Uh, scuffed video, missed the usual Sunday after noticing the most embarrassing mindless frame 1 reload of all time at the last minute, but I couldn't not say something about it. Not my proudest moment, I tried :(

[diedforsomemilk]

It's always great to spend a night chowing down on a video like this, and on one of my favourite campaigns as well.

[Spoiler warning for any commenters roaming around]

Just to let you know, I noticed your bit of confusion at the reaction part seeing your ending cutscene in a part labelled as "Karma dies", despite living in your playthrough.

During the USS Obama debrief it does say that all characters aboard the ship were killed when it went down, including Karma, Admiral Briggs and Salazar, so she did actually die in your playthrough but due to not completing the strike force missions, an inefficient drone counter attack was sent and resulted in the USS Obama sinking. Hope this serves as a bit of clarification if you didn't already know! Loved the vid btw <3

Even though I think I’ve played every single campaign you’ve shown, THIS is the one that got me feeling the most nostalgic. Crazy to think this game is almost 12 years old, I still remember it like it was yesterday.

[AmaryllisSpiral]

The strikeforce missions wouldn't be so bad on veteran if your teammates weren't sharing one braincell.

P.S. Happy belated June 17th birthday S0ur 🥳

[domenicodaserra]

I just found this channel a few days ago and I'm already hooked! Looking forward to watching this over many dinners along with your other videos!

[annadelsiena]

IIRC if you do all the strike missions, you end up killing Zhao who's like a rogue Chinese general. And then the Chinese government sends in jets and drones to help defend the Obamna as a thank you

I guess since Karma is technically still on the obamna, she died when it got destroyed in your ending
