"Call of Duty Black Ops II is arguably one of the best Call of Duty games of all time, and it's nice to see it appearing in the best-seller charts again despite being over ten years old."

Call of Duty Black Ops II has the best (and longest) campaigns in the franchise’s history, with a total of 8 separate endings, and I feel it is unmissable for fans of the franchise and FPS narratives in general.
In July 2022, Call of Duty Black Ops II was the 7th most purchased game for Xbox One and Xbox Series X in the United Kingdom; while the reason for this revival is currently unknown, it is nice to see so many people playing the classic game for the first time.
In July 2023, Black Ops II saw another massive revival due to Activision fixing matchmaking for all classic Call of Duty titles in preparation for Xbox acquiring Activision-Blizzard in Q3 2023.

I enjoyed playing through the Call of Duty: Black Ops II campaign and the zombie mode is one of the high points in the franchise; however, at this time, I cannot recommend anyone purchase Call of Duty: Black Ops II, as while it is now fairly active on Xbox consoles, it is scheduled to be added to Xbox & PC game Pass in 2024, making it widely available to a whole new generation of gamers at no extra cost.
That being said, if you prefer to buy your games outright, the Xbox version is the only one I can recommend due to the poor state of the PlayStation 3 and PC communities.
We found Call of Duty Black Ops II to be a great game, meaning it delivers a memorable experience with only minor imperfections that don't detract from the overall enjoyment of the game.
"Battlefield V, despite being over three years old, has a larger player base than many AAA titles released in 2022, something which is made all the more remarkable when you remember its controversial launch and less-than-stellar critical reception."
"As fascism rears its ugly head the world over, Starship Troopers, one of the most iconic satires of fascism, enjoys yet another excellent title."
"Spacelords is weirdly sexual to the point of being distracting, and I feel this aesthetic is largely responsible for its low player count and lack of wider community acceptance."
