If Steam automatically overwrites your manual English files with the original regional language, open Steam, go to the game properties, and disable automatic updates for Black Ops 2. Alternatively, launch the game directly via the .exe file inside the root folder rather than through the Steam client interface.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 is a first-person shooter game developed by Treyarch and published by Activision. Released in 2012, the game is the ninth installment in the Call of Duty series and a sequel to Black Ops. The game has been a massive success, with millions of players worldwide. However, some players may encounter language barriers while playing the game on their PC. That's where the Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 PC English Language Pack comes in.
Steam Overwriting FilesIf Steam automatically downloads an update that reverts your game back to the original foreign language, right-click the game in Steam, go to Properties > Updates, and turn off automatic updates. A Safety Reminder
: Playing through the legendary campaign, intense Multiplayer matches, or Zombies mode with missing context severely damages the experience. What Does the English Language Pack Include?
If your game files already include English assets but the game boots up in another language, you can force English by editing the initialization files.
Disclaimer: Modifying game files goes against Steam’s Terms of Service for some titles, but Activision has historically not banned users for language pack modifications in Black Ops 2, as it does not affect anti-cheat (TAC 3) functionality. However, proceed at your own risk.
Step 5: Replace Sound and Localization FilesThe root folder of your game contains large asset files that dictate audio and text.
