Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 campaign choices guide

Mission 10: Cordis Die     

Mission 11: Judgment Day

The final choice of the game comes down to whether or not you want to kill or capture Menendez. If you decide to kill Menendez, then the ending will always feature his YouTube video calling for Cordis Die and cities getting trashed as rioters rise up to heed the call. If you choose to let him live however, there are a few things that can happen.

If Chloe was kept alive through the entire game, you will see her on the Jimmy Kimmel Show from Menendez’s prison cell and he will freak out upon seeing her. If Chloe isn’t kept alive, the Celerium worm will spread through the US computers and Menendez will be able to escape his cell. When he does, he goes to visit Woods, and after a short scene between the two, Raul will stab Woods in the throat, killing him. Raul will then go to the gravesite of his sister and set himself on fire.
