Call of Duty Black Ops 2: 10 Reasons It'll Be The Best CoD Yet

5. CODcasting

This proves that Treyarch are sticking with the times and acknowledging how, in this world of saturated social media, we want to literally be able to broadcast whatever it is that we're doing. In Black Ops 2, players will be able to stream their entire live's playtime of the game to a designated YouTube channel, such that they can just give out a URL, and have their buddies watch what they're doing. Though it has something of a niche, novel appeal, it's a great way to show the game off to those who are perhaps on the edge about buying it or are curious about how the multiplayer experience has changed. Also, players will be able to comment over their play, and a CODcaster can cycle through the map at will, picking other players to focus on and stream the footage to everyone else. Also, for the sake of e-Sports, which Treyarch are also taking seriously, it means that those wanting to watch a CoD tournament can all log onto the same, hopefully stable channel and chat away in the comments section. It is about bringing a more communal feel to the series which it is often missing, and this just might help bring that about.
