I literally despise black ops 2 for xbox 360 hopefully the wii u one is a little better.

The Wii remote Zombie gameplay looks very good.

I played a litle bit of this tonight and here are my impressions.

The good:
- Looks amazing. Both on my 1080p TV and on the Gamepad
- Plays like COD as you'd expect. Holding the Gamepad itself feels immediately natural in my hands.
- Loads quickly (NSBMU took like 20 seconds to load, but this loaded right away from the menu screen)

The not sure yet:
- This isn't a bad thing, but you will need to train your fingers to go down to reload, swap weapons etc... It's just a matter of memorizing how far you need to move your thumb to each button like you did years ago with a 360 or PS3 controller.

The bad:
- This might be something adjustable, but I tried and couldn't figure it out. The Wii U analog sticks are not immediately super sensitive right when you move them. You have to move them a touch more to get it to inch over to whatever direction you want to point your gun. Not noticeable at all when your just firing, but I did notice it when I was zoomed in. After 10 minutes, my brain was already trained to react and adjust to it, but you'll notice it at first if you're sensitive to these types of things.

Question:
- Any extra use for the Gamepad other than to just show a mirror image of the game for playing off the TV? From what I could tell, there's not.

I didn't check out multi-player so I can't comment there.

you can have all your loadouts and perks on the game pad so you can switch on the play instead of pausing the game to go to the menue to switch.

What about the gyroscopic aiming with the gamepad? Wouldn't the control issuses be resolved with the pro controller or Wii remote? I also would like to know how the visuals look. Are they any better or are they the same or worse?

No idea about the control question, sorry. As far as the visuals, are they better or worse than what? Are they better or worse on my screen compared to the gamepad screen? Or are they better or worse than 360/PS3? If it's the latter, I don't have the other versions to compare it to, but others have said it looks a good bit better than the 360 version. I'd say wait a couple days and I'm sure comparison videos will star popping up.

Sorry I should have elaborated better. I meant is it visually on par with the competition, or does it look better or worse. I see you already answered that question, so don't worry about it. I also would like to know if turning the gamepad off makes any visual difference on an HDTV. I'd imagine that having the gamepad on reduces the clarity on the TV. One more question is there any Wii U accomplishments for this game?
