[quote name='juubei1i']He's only 9. I held out as long as I could but he's the only one in the neighborhood that doesn't own it and I'm tired of hearing about it. He's at a friend's house right now and I'm sure he's playing it. Anyway for all of these kids it is their first FPS. Last night he was explaining to me how zombies works even though I've had BLOPS since it came out. Common sense for adults and older teens is new and exciting to kids when they can see top down maps for 1st time, color images, etc.. But I appreciate the opinion and personally agree if I was buying it for myself.[/QUOTE]
The Black Ops 2 guide isn't bad. Patches will make the multiplayer stuff irrelevant, but if you like guides and are interested in having something physical to read it's fine. Especially for a kid.
