@@malgdrummeragreed. woods wants menedez dead every opporunity he gets, even risking his men to get it. why would he suddenly have a change of heart and only wound "menedez" when the chance to kill him is handed to him?
The ending I first got was alternate ending but what happened was Harper-dead defalco-died at colossus farid-dead Salazar-alive karma-alive menendez-dead mason-dead
The first ending I got was Harper alive, Karma dead, DeFalco dead, Farid dead, Salazar dead, Menendez dead, Mason dead and Woods alive. But after a while I noticed you had to do the strike force missions in order to get Harper dead, Karma alive, DeFalco dead, Salazar alive, Menendez alive, Mason alive and Woods alive to get the ending I wanted.
Yeah it doesnt make sense that mason just decided to became deadbeat dad and dip out on his friends and son. And the graveyard scene when mason dies is just perfect ending to black ops series basically.
There's only one ending for me. The true ending. Karma Lives, Mason lives, and Menendez lives. He wanted to be Martyred. I denied him the satisfaction. To get the best ending though, you have to let DeFalco live and take Karma. Rescue Karma in the special ops. Kill Harper as Farid. Farid will protect Karma during Salzar's betrayal. Let Admiral live, and complete ALL special ops. Things will work out and the world will be saved. Just make sure you don't kill Menedez, no matter HOW badly you want it.
@@chrissant6277 This is mostly a 100% good ending, where everything works out and you've secured a bright future. Menendez is ruined, Karma lives, China and America join forces, the aircraft carrier is secured thanks to both the Admiral and China's drones, saving Karma in the process again. Oh and if you want all the camos, this is how you do it.
Treyarch said in their official timeline video that Menendez is killed. In BO3 the world is fucking torn apart, so Karma probably dies too (not 100% sure, but this can be a cause). If you gather all the intels in BO2 Woods won't trust Hudson and so you'll save A. Mason. So the only things that are 100% canon are Menendez death and Mason is alive, Karma's death is most likely canon. Btw you can kill DeFalco in the mission, you will save Karma and everything's good, the side mission you get by not killing DeFalco has no other uses. The rest is correct
I mean they could get a SO MUCH better game and history if they did the Good ending canon Because "I will see you a year from now" could be that menendez escapes or someone free him and a new evil gets in place
You know, I will always remember that just by pure accident I said to myself: "What if i only could save mason" and just shot his legs by pure accident didn't even notice the special dialogue and when I finish the game boom Mason is alive and I get and achievement. I was in complete disbelief BO2 is really the best game of all
@matthewwellington2637 yeah, but honestly the way the OG characters are written makes them seem so off. I liked Cold War's campaign a lot but I really don't consider it canon
I would've loved it if Black Ops 3 was either set in the near future after the events of BO2, or if you played as David's son and the game actually referenced the storylines and characters of the previous games, instead of the fucking mess we got that totally ignored BO1 and 2.
@@TinTin12121 Black Ops doesn't care about any chaos. We had the biggest chaos, and won. We will win again, because you can not find any other soldiers like ours: Section, Alex, Frank. Chaos will not win. Our target was Menendez......
It is canon after menendez’s first escape attempt was ruined by Karma years later he tries to escape in a soldiers uniform and his plan is seen through by soldiers who kill him on sight
You can’t save Karma if you also save Harper. Karma only survives the battle on the ship if Farid is there to protect her from dying. You have to save Farid and Briggs, as well as completing all Strikeforce missions, in order for Karma to live through the end of the game.
I got the "bad ending" when I played for the first time and I'm not sure if I would call that the "worst" ending, it's the worst when it comes to outcome, but it seems like what would actually happen.
i still to this day dont know why there hasnt been a black ops with its campaign focused on mason again since he was still alive after 30 years, he obviously had to of had a crazy ass story since he never made contact once in those 30 years, WE NEED TO SEE IT please Treyarch give us another black ops with mason like bo1
Guys so next years CoD is going to be set in the gulf war and the year after that we’re getting a sequel to BO2 that is taking place 5 years after the events of 2025 (You killing Mennedez is the canon ending.). So we may get a David Mason origin story in the Gulf War campaign and the next chapter to David and Harpers story.
To be honest, Most player would definitely kileld Menendez despite that what he wants. Me though i got the neutral ending, Harper survives, Cloe survives, Mason survives, Woods didn't, Menendez fcking kills himself.
I could just imagine how awesome a remaster would look, especially if in realistic they took off the slow timing to shoot enemies in slow motion and instead you have to do it fast and with skill. That'll be awesome. They just need to add alot more enemies and blood and gore graphics. The story line was great. I honestly think a remaster will surpass battlefield at this point and I'm a die hard battlefield fan
As much as I hate it and hate Mendez killing woods I also love it at the same time just the interaction between woods and him. However since woods dies its not the cannon ending otherwise that ending is painful and beautiful
The "Bad ending" is for me, the canon ending. Most people like the "happy" ending it seems but for me, the "Bad" end is the most fitting with the dark themes of the Black Ops universe. All the characters were bastards, they all did bad things, and they all end up killing each other. Plus Menendez is such an awesome villian, I love the idea of him basically getting his revenge and peacing out. A wonderfully dark way of closing out the Waw/BlOps storyline.
@@monkeboy121 Black Ops 3 from what I remember doesn’t even follow the same storyline so it doesn’t really make a difference. They may as well all be canon because the story is over regardless. The Mendendez kills everyone ending is still my favorite though.
I like how Menendez still showed Woods some level of respect for him despite their mutual hatred for each other. He was a villain for sure, but he still had a moral standard for himself. Best cod villain hands down
Honestly canon ending should be the one video shows but mason dies, why did mason became deadbeat dad and just randomly show up at ending and the graveyard scene is beautiful and sad.
the best part of everything for me is that David and Alex are just having a father/son moment after 30 years and woods its like "nah fuck it, give me some smokes", truly a legendary campaing
I think the bad ending has the more sense with the themes of the story, that of course if you kill Mason because then it goes from happy reunion to sad death with no connection between. I get weird

Basically with all the sh*t what's going on the U.S. society. There's no need for a game to show us on what's gonna happen next. Just staying tuned for local news!
@@socramzetroc1535 jesus, bring your fucking politics somewhere else, this is black ops 2 the VIDEOGAME, not the news channel. Im just pissed that some loser has to bring up politics EVERYWHERE they go. Its actually dumb how many people do this bs.
To those who say Harper dying shouldn't be a part of the "good" ending, while it sucks it had to happen, it HAD to happen. Farid HAS to live to save Kharma. It's also a poignant and meaningful way of showing the true sacrifice it takes to keep us safe and free. Good men like harper give everything, including their lives, to give us the lives we lead. Without that sacrifice we would all be in a real hell. Nothing good is free, Harpers sacrifice meant something in the end. That's the best way to honor men like him, men like Woods and Mason, make their sacrifices worth something. While the games are obviously fictional, the heroism displayed is a real thing that real men do. Whether it was MACV-SOG in Vietnam or Marines at Iwo-Jima or Rangers in Afghanistan/Iraq, real man gave their everything for us, even if they were lied to about it. We should remember that REAL sacrifice and do our best for those men who gave everything, even if they where forcibly misguided by politicians. And on that note, hold the politicians who send our heroes to die accountable, don't hate the soldier who fought in Iraq because he was there, hate the lying politician that FORCED him there.
I refuse to accept that. Had a hell of a time fighting side by side with that guy. I tried to shoot Menendez than shooting that absolute unit in the face.
My first play through from what i can remember ( actually got all the endings ) Mason:Dead (shot by woods) Harper:alive Salazar:dead(killed by harper) Cloe/karma:dead(shot by Salazar) Ferid:dead(killed by menendez) Brigs:alive Woods:alive Menendez:dead(shot by david) De falco:dead
Seeing the events that take place during the canon ending and comparing it this year's recent events.... it's really mind boggling. (I'm talking about the attack and riot at the capital building)
yea, I played early cod games and MW 1 and 2, but none of them were anywhere near as engaging as OP 1 and 2 I think silent protags thing played a major role in that, as the one you're playing as has no personality and therefore can't really be related to in any way well, in cod1 you can see Private Martin's thoughts in his diary on loading screens, but that's about it
Did you kill Briggs? If you did then he can’t reactivate the Obama’s defenses and the ship gets blown up along with Karma in it. If Salazar is alive then he dies on the ship as well You need Karma saved, Farid alive (which means Harper dead), Strike Force completed, and Briggs alive or the Obama is destroyed by SDC
@@remorseyt_ I think Harper is most likely canonically alive because if the ending with Menendez being killed is canon then there is no point in Karma surviving.
Wood's is the type to get personal with killing enemies so he either shot him in the chest or in the legs to later come and kill him personally only to find Mason.
Actually the game hints that Woods is suspicious about the whole thing. For this, you have to fully resist as Alex Mason to kill this dude Woods was interrogating earlier in one of the flashbacks, which results in the dude saying something among the lines that they have people in the cia . Apparently if you achieve this, when you're about to take the shot on “Menéndez” you will hear that line again, on Woods head. So it could be canon that he might have been hesitant about the shot.

As Farid, when given the choice to kill harper or Menendez, you try to kill Menendez but he counters it and kills Farid but Harper lives
So the real ending is basically Menendez plan succeeding? So he still wins and the canon ending is bad lol.
Crazy that you commented this 7 days ago and 1 day after your comment Kamar De Los Reyes (Raul Menendez voice actor) passed away. R.I.P 🕊
Right?
Honestly canon ending should be the one video shows but mason dies, why did mason became deadbeat dad and just randomly show up at ending and the graveyard scene is beautiful and sad.
They just came out and said that the canon ending is that Mason died in 1989 and Menendez dies in 2025
the best part of everything for me is that David and Alex are just having a father/son moment after 30 years and woods its like "nah fuck it, give me some smokes", truly a legendary campaing
Canon ending: Mason, Menendez death, Karma alive (Harper Ending)
These scenes (Both Blackops Games) we’re straight out of a movie, definitely would’ve been Oscar Award winning had they made them
I think the bad ending has the more sense with the themes of the story, that of course if you kill Mason because then it goes from happy reunion to sad death with no connection between. I get weird
This is my favorite call of duty storyline one of the best games I ever played back when I was younger now its my birthday today and im watching this video
Canon ending was BEST
Yes, but it was confirmed by treyarch that Menendez dies, so chaos ensues
@@tesla_vfx Menedez dies in all endings, he died in prison when captured
@Halo a year after menendez tries to escape but gets killed by a soldier
@@G5justin but chaos doesn't ensue in that ending, at least not deliberately. So It’s a strong hint that the first ending is the canon one
The alt ending was so sad
yes
Looking back at it,its a actually an emotional but good ending,much better than the bad ending(woods dead)
Where have you been for 30 years?
Mason: do you know how much they charge for child support?
Coming back to this after all we know from bo6 and knowing that in the canon ending mason does in fact die is crazy
the way woods said "this is your dad" in such a chill way was so funny lol.
Any ending where my buddy Harper lives,
It goes.
Yessir, fuck America's stability
I got the cannon ending as my first ending
The good ending in games is always the canon ending. No matter how painful.
Unless it requires Harper dying.
except for metro 2033 where the bad ending is canon
@@donkey3413 Oh facts though I completely forgot
Actually the "best ending" is the cannon one
You sure
@@Nomad958
No. He pulled it out his ass
I say the Canon ending is the one you like the most
@@InnocentBiscuitBoy no. If karma lived or menendez lived, black ops3 wouldn't have happened.
@@B1g_B0sssss only if it didn't happen
i fuckin love how the music gets really intense after Woods says "This is your dad."
The thing that I’ve noticed after all these years is that Woods was a Recon Marine
I was sad and worried about the little boys sister 1:42
It is like how menendez lost Josefina in the fire
@@prisonlessungabunga4329 and it could be a sign of David And Harper's friendship, because it can only be obtained if Harper lives and we kill Menendez
I thought in the cannon, Menendez was killed in prison after David let him live
It is. This video is wrong
no that’s the good ending
“Where are my F###ING SMOKES?” never gets old
Mason doesnt live in the canon ending :(
best memories - Black Ops 2 / Black Ops / World At War was three most fantastic fps games in all history
Why tf is the actual world turning into the bo2 universe wtf
I’m legit putting the pieces together rn as well
I swear to god in 2 years if i saw a news saying a bunch of US drones being hacked my knees will be blown and i’ll sit on a wheelchair
In Loving Memory Of
Kamar de los Reyes
AKA Raul Menendaz
(11/8/1967-12/24/2023)
Why do you call the first ending the "canon" one? It's up to the player...
It's the one that leads to BO3
@@Fesiug Yeah, but BO3 and 4 suck ass, and aren't canon. Wink wink.
he's true
@@Fesiug right*
@@iim4xii129 because it is cannon. It actually happens.
Just beat the campaign again got the canon ending but holy so many years without knowing there’s this many endings
I love how Karma just casually stops a global malware virus
what happens next game if you have the canon ending and all the other endings?? can someone tell me??
Basically with all the sh*t what's going on the U.S. society.
There's no need for a game to show us on what's gonna happen next.
Just staying tuned for local news!
@@socramzetroc1535 jesus, bring your fucking politics somewhere else, this is black ops 2 the VIDEOGAME, not the news channel. Im just pissed that some loser has to bring up politics EVERYWHERE they go. Its actually dumb how many people do this bs.
@@brandan5708 Like he aint wrong. You can now play CoD Advanced WW2 with women character that like painting
8:50 mason be like
“Okay my brain just committed sucide”
4:37 This is starting to look scarily accurate to modern day
Predictive programming ? Who knows maybe is just conspiracy.
Any ending with woods and mason alive is the best
To those who say Harper dying shouldn't be a part of the "good" ending, while it sucks it had to happen, it HAD to happen. Farid HAS to live to save Kharma. It's also a poignant and meaningful way of showing the true sacrifice it takes to keep us safe and free. Good men like harper give everything, including their lives, to give us the lives we lead. Without that sacrifice we would all be in a real hell. Nothing good is free, Harpers sacrifice meant something in the end. That's the best way to honor men like him, men like Woods and Mason, make their sacrifices worth something. While the games are obviously fictional, the heroism displayed is a real thing that real men do. Whether it was MACV-SOG in Vietnam or Marines at Iwo-Jima or Rangers in Afghanistan/Iraq, real man gave their everything for us, even if they were lied to about it. We should remember that REAL sacrifice and do our best for those men who gave everything, even if they where forcibly misguided by politicians. And on that note, hold the politicians who send our heroes to die accountable, don't hate the soldier who fought in Iraq because he was there, hate the lying politician that FORCED him there.
I refuse to accept that. Had a hell of a time fighting side by side with that guy. I tried to shoot Menendez than shooting that absolute unit in the face.
One of the best campaigns I’ve played in COD
My first play through from what i can remember ( actually got all the endings )
Mason:Dead (shot by woods)
Harper:alive
Salazar:dead(killed by harper)
Cloe/karma:dead(shot by Salazar)
Ferid:dead(killed by menendez)
Brigs:alive
Woods:alive
Menendez:dead(shot by david)
De falco:dead
A7X ending is the only real ending!
Real canon ending: Avenged Sevenfold plays Carry On with Woods as the drummer and Menendez as the 2nd guitarist.
“Ass” - Alex Mason’s first words after disappearing for 30 years
I got the canon ending, i honestly couldnt be bothered to do the dumb strike missions, but yea
I dont think theyre that bad but they probably shouldve been scrapped
The last one is near impossible
You forgot something in the Best ending,
*You forgot to save Harper*
Wrong.
You need to kill Harper for Farid can take the bullet for Karma, so the world would be saved by Karma
@@miker0tch_ yes
Section: “You talking to the dead sarge?”
Woods: “Nah, they talk to me”
We thought it was the cannon ending 😅
It was just hopefull thinking 😔
4 more years until we get the old youtube layout back 🙌
Seeing the events that take place during the canon ending and comparing it this year's recent events.... it's really mind boggling.
(I'm talking about the attack and riot at the capital building)
yea it really crazy
You mean the leisure walk at the caption building. The riots was the blm people
my guy 😂it looks a lot more reminiscent of summer 2020 objectively
@@N0VEMBYR I'm gonna be honest with you, I don't even remember writing this comment.
It never made sense why woods would shoot his leg. He thought it was menedez, for all intends a headshot would be a given.
It would be so cool that in 2025 the year where BO2 happened they release a remastered or remake of this game
2024 is bo1 remaster
Menendez is probably one of the best villains of the entire saga. Hell, the best COD villain overall
I love how David almost ignores his Dad sitting on the bed until Woods has to point him out
He notices him, as he asks how he’s doing. He just doesn’t realize it’s actually his Dad while Woods claim he’s just “Al.”
I don't care what anyone says Black Ops 1 & 2 have the best characters and stories out of any Call of Duty.
yea, I played early cod games and MW 1 and 2, but none of them were anywhere near as engaging as OP 1 and 2
I think silent protags thing played a major role in that, as the one you're playing as has no personality and therefore can't really be related to in any way
well, in cod1 you can see Private Martin's thoughts in his diary on loading screens, but that's about it
Rest in Peace Kamar de Los Reyes,VA for Raul Menendez.
I tried getting the best ending and karma,mason, and Raul all live but it gave me the bad ending for some reason
Did you do the side missions?
@@Capt-mv2kw yeah
It might be a bug in your game
Did you kill Briggs? If you did then he can’t reactivate the Obama’s defenses and the ship gets blown up along with Karma in it. If Salazar is alive then he dies on the ship as well
You need Karma saved, Farid alive (which means Harper dead), Strike Force completed, and Briggs alive or the Obama is destroyed by SDC
Now while World War 3 does break out in the canon ending, it's also a world where the RUclips UI never changed. So it can't be all bad.
Treyarch confirmed the canon ending. Mason dies. Menendez dies. RIP Mason 🫡
Interesting, what about Harper and Karma
@@EldarioS_01 Probably won't know until the rumored Black Ops 7 that takes place during 2030 comes out next year
@@remorseyt_ I think Harper is most likely canonically alive because if the ending with Menendez being killed is canon then there is no point in Karma surviving.
Out of all my campaign playthroughs, I've always only gotten the Alternate ending.
Idk how mason living is canon considering to get it you have to shoot mason in the leg which pods wouldn’t have done, believing it was menandez
Wood's is the type to get personal with killing enemies so he either shot him in the chest or in the legs to later come and kill him personally only to find Mason.
Actually the game hints that Woods is suspicious about the whole thing. For this, you have to fully resist as Alex Mason to kill this dude Woods was interrogating earlier in one of the flashbacks, which results in the dude saying something among the lines that they have people in the cia . Apparently if you achieve this, when you're about to take the shot on “Menéndez” you will hear that line again, on Woods head. So it could be canon that he might have been hesitant about the shot.
the fact that this game accurately predicted life is insane
