Black Ops 2 Ship Shape and Good Karma
Call of Duty finally gets multiplayer achievements in Black Ops II
But beating the game on Veteran only gives you 15 gamerscore.
Join gaming leaders, alongside GamesBeat and Facebook Gaming, for their 2nd Annual GamesBeat & Facebook Gaming Summit | GamesBeat: Into the Metaverse 2 this upcoming January 25-27, 2022. Learn more about the event.
Infinity Ward had always strayed away from multiplayer achievements in Call of Duty 2 and the Modern Warfare trilogy. The studio had several reasons why it did, but you can argue that they simply didn't need it — the insanely successful multiplayer lived and thrived on its own, without the gamerscore incentives that so many other lesser games feel the need to dangle. Current Call of Duty developer Treyarch has finally bucked that trend in its upcoming Call of Duty: Black Ops II with a handful of achievements focused on winning in certain playlists, leveling up, and prestiging.
Curiously, the achievement for beating the game on Hardened or Veteran difficulty is a paltry 15 gamerscore, a far cry from previous versions, where dominating Call of Duty's hardest challenge netted players up to 150 or 200 points in some cases. Two other Veteran difficulty achievements net an additional 100 points, but this still pales in comparison to what past games have provided.
You can see all 50 achievements below. Be warned that some of the descriptions contain campaign spoilers (I've clearly noted this all the way at the bottom of the list):
