This game is going to be 10 years old soon and yet I've never noticed this. When Menendez said "To those you serve, your live means nothing.", he wasn't lying. Mason doesn't even bother checking on Farid's body. Or the fact that Menendez says "I'm one step ahead of them" as he's literally one step ahead of you, giving you a hint he knows you betrayed them. Plus the many little hints scattered about, wish newer cods were this detail oriented.
Because when you choose to spare Harper Section spots Menendez getting away which he is the main target and the priority of the mission. Therefore there was no time to ask for Farids body. In the case that you shoot Harper Section hasnt spot Menendez yet.
Harper is even trying to convince you to kill him. He knew that the only way to maintain the masquerade was to he being killed, or the loyalty of Farid will be destroyed.
Black Ops I and Black Ops II deserved a remaster or a reappearance on the current generation of consoles... I hope I can be able to play these two legendary games on PS5.

the gun he picked in this level is M27 which is essentially an alternate version of ACR. In addition a grip is equiped in the gun so of course the gun is ridiculously stable.
if you kill harper then on the uss obama farid will sacrifice himself for karma and she will live (good ending) otherwise no farid nobody blocks karma and she dies
I pretty much always kill Harper. Yeah it’s sad he dies but if you try to kill Menendez then you lose not only Farid but also Chloe as well. And then Menendez Celerium virus runs rampant and cripples the military computer network.

Yes and I respect that line I always do those choices for the best ending of this game

If you listen to what Harper says. Harper is ordering Farid to kill him. Harper was willing to make the sacrifice so that Farid could keep his cover.

"To those you serve, your life means nothing"
Chills from that

I'm more of a modern warfare fan than I am black ops, but God I loved how you could choose your whole weapons set up before missions.
Black ops definitely wins
Kind of wish they kept that feature for the COD games afterwards
I always hated that you have to kill Harper to save the world.
Sometimes sacrifices are made, but he knew the risk. The least we could do is make sure it wasn't in vain.
"The greatest sacrifices require the strongest wills"
Harper is even trying to convince you to kill him. He knew that the only way to maintain the masquerade was to he being killed, or the loyalty of Farid will be destroyed.
I hate killing him because without him the missions are 10x more boring

I don't care what the game says, Farid had an ample amount of time to shoot and kill menendez before he blocked his shot.
Jackson Holt ik he could’ve just turned the gun, he didn’t have to do this dramatic ass move where he reaches over harper’s shoulder
Menendez isn't someone to underestimate fully. If he survived twice, even if he's old....Farid should've shot fast instead of taking aim to the head.
Yeah but killing Menendez causes more problems
He might have been in shock when Menendez caught his hand and in his shirt surprise, Menendez quickly made a move
6:15 I don't think its a smart idea to start talking to Harper, when Menendez, De Falco and their lackeys are still in earshot.
That's probably why Menendez knew that Farid was the double agent, he didn't even try to whisper.
What i think is that the earpeice he is using can send dialouge through what the user is thinking rater than saying
No way Menendez would've reacted that fast
he knew farid was the traitor so he was prepared i think

Damn guns have no recoil in this game
the gun he picked in this level is M27 which is essentially an alternate version of ACR. In addition a grip is equiped in the gun so of course the gun is ridiculously stable.
Paul ice he probably meant that it performs similarly to the ACR (has literally no recoil), not that it is similar in design
