Overall
And now its come down to the big question to which, if youve been keeping a tally, the answer should be pretty obvious by now; which game is better overall? Which title should you be wasting countless hours on over Christmas while necking turkey and downing Jack Daniels? While both games are fantastic in their own rights, arriving at this decision was not particularly difficult, nor was it that unexpected. Black Ops 2 is a thrilling reinvention of everything that has come before, but Halo 4s experience both online and off is so much more robust and refined, an elevation of the series to a near-masterpiece level, improving almost all aspects considerably. Black Ops 2 makes similar efforts to shake things up, and does this exceptionally, but its Halos massively cinematic quality and epic scope that clinches it. The discerning gamer would probably buy both games anyway, but if you have to get one, it should unquestionably be Halo 4. WINNER: Halo 4 What do you think is the better game of the two?
