Call of Duty: Black Ops II features a variety of multiplayer game types, each offering a unique experience. These modes can be broadly categorized into Core Gametypes and Party Games.

Core Gametypes

• Team Deathmatch: The classic Call of Duty mode where two teams compete to reach a score limit first.
• Multi-Team: Similar to Team Deathmatch but with three teams vying for the score limit.
• Free-For-All: Every player for themselves, with the first to reach the score limit winning.
• Kill Confirmed: Kills only count after collecting dog tags from fallen enemies. The first team to reach the score limit wins.
• Domination: Teams capture and hold three flags placed on the map to earn points. The first team to reach the score limit wins.
• Demolition: Teams alternate between attacking and defending two targets. Attackers plant and defend a bomb, while defenders try to stop them.
• Search & Destroy: Similar to Demolition, but with no respawns.
• Hardpoint: A king-of-the-hill style mode where players capture and hold rotating zones to earn points.
• Headquarters: Teams capture and defend a target to earn points. While holding the HQ, respawns are disabled for the team, giving attackers an advantage.
• Capture The Flag: Two teams attempt to steal the enemy's flag and return it to their base. The first team to achieve the required number of captures wins.

Party Games

• Gun Game: Players cycle through a series of weapons with each kill. The first player to achieve a kill with every weapon wins.
• One In The Chamber: Players start with a pistol, one bullet, and a knife. Killing an enemy grants an extra bullet. The player with the most points wins.
• Sharpshooter: Weapons change every 45 seconds. Players earn perks for consecutive kills. The highest score wins.
• Sticks And Stones: Players use a crossbow, ballistic knife, and combat axe. A combat axe resets an enemy's score to zero. The player with the highest score wins.
