Xbox 360 Achievements

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 has 70 Achievements worth a total of 1500G.
The estimated difficulty level for all of the Achievements in CoD: Black Ops 2 taken together runs at around six out of ten, ten being the hardest, and one being the easiest.

In this case a mixture of online and multi-player Achievements accounts for the higher than average difficulty estimate due in part to the fact that considering the age of the game and the likelihood that most players encountered in casual, pick-up play, are both very likely to already have unlocked these Achievements and thus, less likely to be interested in making the effort of exchanging them.

The Achievements in Black Ops 2 break down as follows:

Base Game
Regular Offline Achievements: 45 (Totaling 900G out of the 1000G in the Base Game)
Multi-Player Online Achievements: 5 (100G out of the 1000G in the Base Game)

Estimated Time Requirements
Campaign = 20 Hours
Zombie Modes = 10 Hours
Multi-Player = 20 Hours
Total Estimated Game Time: 50 Hours

Notes: The time estimates presented here are based upon an average approach that includes an active interest in and participation of story and plot elements including (but not limited to) reading all of the supporting material and documents, examining the various items, collecting the collection items, and experiencing the conversations in full. We acknowledge that by ignoring or avoiding some or all of these, time estimates may be considerably shorter.

Notes for Achievement Collectors
Unlocking all of the Achievements available in Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 will require a minimum of two (2) complete playthroughs (and may require a third partial playthrough depending upon what, if anything, was missed), though it should be noted that due to the load structure and replayablity there are NO missable Achievements in the game.

There are no cheats as such in the game, so no actions taken by the player can disrupt or turn off the Achievements System, however the difficulty mode selected by the player has a direct impact on their ability to unlock specific Achievements, such as Black Ops II Master, Futurist, and Old Fashioned.

There are two (2) DLC Expansion Packs included in the Achievements for this title, with each of the respective Achievements marked and noted in the list.

MSP = Microsoft Points - an artificial online and digital currency that is used by the Xbox LIVE Marketplace for the purchase of DLC and Avatar Items as well as Xbox LIVE Arcade games. Note that while MSP is used for purchase of DLC and Arcade Games, full titles available via the LIVE Marketplace are usually priced in the currency of the region or country in which the gamer resides.

A recent announcement by Microsoft and the Xbox LIVE Team at the 2013 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) revealed that MSP will be phased out of the LIVE System with the launch of the upcoming next generation console, the Xbox ONE, with all content on the LIVE Marketplace being priced in the currency of the region or country from which the gamer resides. This is generally considered to be good news.
