The Doc explained why Black Ops 2 is his favorite CoD game.
“I feel like that was the purest Call of Duty,” Dr Disrespect said. “the DLC, map design, and the way the weapons felt were fun.”
The true difference maker for him was the introduction of League Play. The competitive game mode featured six different divisions, and players moved up and down based on performances. The game mode used the same settings, modes, and 4v4 teams as the pro scene.
“They added that whole league system, and they just nailed the pacing of the game right.”
Treyarch developed Black Ops 2, and their last major entry was Black Ops Cold War. The studio’s next mainline game will be CoD 2024.
