All known Black Ops 2 strats. (NG+ also included)

This is a list of all BO2 strats known so far. All Loadouts listed
are NG+. In New Game, you can only use what you have unlocked
so far in the new save. Any chances in a NG loadout will be
posted.


Pyrrhic Victory
Loadout: Death Machine, Storm PSR, Fast Hands/Longer Sprint/Hardness.
Sticky Grenades (NG)
-Using the Storm PSR makes it possible to snipe the mortar crew
through the rock at the beginning of the level by charging the shot
-In NG, you throw sticky grenades from far away, aiming high
at a specific part in order to hit the mortar crew. Because
they're sticky, the grenades won't roll away from the crew


Celerium
Loadout: Chicom CQB, Death Machine, Longer Sprint/Hardness/FMJ.
-After the flying section, it is possible to rush through all
the fighting until you reach the destructible gates at the
entrance of the facility. By killing the 3-4 enemies guarding it,
every other enemy you pass is despawned, and it's only a matter
of staying at the gate and waiting for your buddies to arrive.
The gate can also be destroyed by any explosive, including
your wrist grenades.

-The same despawn method can be done once inside the facility.
Once inside and ambushed, run through everyone until you find
the elevator, though in order to get the elevator going, the
enemies near it need to be killed before you get too close
or the elevator won't come up. Once the elevator comes up,
killing everyone in it through the glass will despawn the enemies
present on your floor, allowing for instant access to the elevator
controls.

-After the firefight at the end, when the guy gets killed in front
of you, no enemies need to be killed, just keep running until you
are near Briggs, this will turn the game into an autoscroller
and despawn all the enemies you passed. Getting in position
at the cutscene trigger next to Briggs will get it going earlier.


Old Wounds
Loadout: FIM-92 Stinger, Death Machine, Longer Sprint/Hardness/FMJ
-After the assault begins and you go outside the base, there is
a small building on the right with a stinger on the roof. In
order to get the stinger, park your horse right next to the
building that has the stinger on it, then get off it.
After that, behind the horse there should be a small tent
with a red cloth on it. Jump on the tent, then jump on the
horse afterwards. The horse will give you enough height to
jump on the roof with the Stinger, saving you valuable time.

-(NG+) Because you already have the Stinger in your loadout,
you don't have to run for it when clearing the first place with
the two BTRs. The Death Machine also deals massive damage to the
BTRs, blowing them up in less than 2 seconds, much faster than
shooting a rocket into them. This massive damage also applies
to the helo's that you have to shoot down.

-While interrogating Kravchenko, clicking the left mouse button
at the "resisting" QTE will just get Mason to shoot Kravchenko
instantly, saving a few seconds compared to waiting for the QTE
to end.


Time and Fate
Loadout: KAP-40, Death Machine, Hardness/FMJ/Longer Sprint
-When playing as Menendez, there is a part before reaching
the barn where 6 men are about to shoot a few citizens.
4 of them are lined up. Skip the shovel and Menendez will
use the shotgun. Line yourself up with the 4 other dudes
and hip-fire once, if you're lucky, you should be able
to get them all 4 killed in one shot. Menendez will
grab his machete, so killing the other 2 near you
will let you get to the barn without killing anyone
else on the way, you will know it works if the yellow
objective marker appears on the screen after the 2 guys
are dead.

-There is a point where a truck smashes into the gate
where Menendez's house is. If you're quick enough,
getting to the back of the truck and pressing F
will get you into the gunner seat, the truck
will drive automaticly for a bit, which is way faster
than your standard sprint.

-When playing as Alex, there will be a small cutscene
where Woods sees Menendez and rages. Instead of sticking
around, keep running until you hit the courtyard. Kill
everyone in the courtyard quickly using the Death Machine
before the cutscene/dialogue between Woods and Hudson
ends, and every other enemy will despawn and you'll
only have to wait for Woods and Hudson to move up
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vY4PHgiQ4gU (8:32)

-Once inside the lab, run through EVERYONE inside,
use the Death Machine to clear a path to the door
that Woods will kick down. Once you're in the small
room where the door is, all the other enemies
will despawn and Woods will rush to the door.


Fallen Angel
Loadout: KAP-40, Death Machine, FMJ/Hardness/Longer Sprint
-Once the level starts and you gain control, you can
immediately run to the part with the QTE where you
have to push, without killing anyone. This isn't a hard
task, though bullshit can always get you killed.

-(NG+) Once you're in the first stealth section, run past
Harper's hiding spot and be almost under the Hind. If done
right, you are able to shoot your Death Machine and destroy
the Hind and the stealth section will no longer need stealth,
and you can push past Harper easily. Do NOT let Harper
overtake you though, if he's out of the water before you
are, he will spawn way back once you do reach him.


Karma
Loadout: Chicom CQB, Death Machine, FMJ/Hardness/Longer Sprint
-(PC) Having 300 FPS or more in this level will make the
slow-mo Club Solar shootout with the pistol speed up, this is
because the game is badly optimized and FPS-dependent.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_gcDuFA8GU (9:39)

-(NG+) Once DeFalco's location is revealed, you can snipe
him from the ground floor using the Death Machine.

-(NG) Grabbing a sniper rifle from the armory is all
you need to snipe DeFalco from the ground floor.


Suffer With Me
Loadout: KAP-40, default M16, FMJ/Longer Sprint/Hardness
-Once the invasion starts, get past the first trucks
and wait a bit before heading forwards. Once you hear
McKnight on the radio, rush to the base of the stairs.
For some reason, this will teleport Mason next to you
and he'll kick down the barrier to the stairs much
faster.

-If you killed Kravchenko and didn't grab the CIA
folder before this mission, the cutscene with
Noriega being captured will end faster.

-During the hospital section, it's better to
strafejump to the injured nurse than to walk all the
way to her.

-Killing Mason here is much faster than letting him live.


Achilles' Veil
Loadout: KAP-40, Longer Sprint/Hardness/FMJ
-This level consists of just strafejumping and sprinting
to your objectives, very simple.

-Harper dying is the fastest course of action, the cutscene
is much faster and the switch to David takes less. Harper's
death also speeds up several other levels after this.

-As Section, running into the middle saves more time
than taking the left of the right sides. The only problem
is the turret, which will auto-destruct once close, though.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2Z2rpRv7r0 (5:47)


Odysseus
Loadout: KAP-40, B23R, Longer Sprint/Hardness/FMJ
-This level also consists of just running and strafejmuping
to objectives, not much need to kill enemies.

-(PC) If you have over 300 FPS or more, the slow-mo
Odysseus shootout cutscene will be much faster than usual,
because the game is FPS-Dependent.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjWxI6hU-D8 (7:55)

-Killing Briggs is much faster than shooting him in the leg,
it makes the cutscene with Section showing up shorter.


Cordis Die
Loadout: KAP-40, Death Machine, Longer Sprint/Hardness/FMJ
-(NG+) After the truck crash, the Death Machine is used
to destroy the 3 CLAWs, a much faster alternative than
the RPG that the game gives you


Judgement Day
Loadout: KAP-40, Death Machine, Longer Sprint/Hardness/FMJ
-In order to gain access to the main building,
the Death Machine is used to kill the two CLAWs
defending it.

-Further inside the building, incapacitate the two
ASDs using an EMP grenade and rush into the main room.
5 Quads will burst through the upper windows, use
the Death Machine to kill them all quickly. This will
also open the doors to the computer room cutscene much
faster.

-No enemies need to be killed whatsoever unless they are
about to kill you. Rushing to the final cutscene where
you confront Menendez will play regardless.
