Retro Replay Review

Gameplay

Benjamins begins and ends at the customization screen. You equip the cash-themed weapon skin, select one of its reticles if you use an ACOG, EOTECH, or Red Dot sight, and take that style into multiplayer. It does not ask you to learn anything new or change how you build a loadout.

That makes the first impression unusually simple: either the money theme makes you smile, or it does not. The skin and calling card give a regular multiplayer session a little extra personality, but the practical draw is the reticle set, and even that is gated behind three specific sight types.

The restriction is where frustration can set in. A player committed to other optics cannot get much use from the reticles, so this is a poor fit if you want broad customization across every weapon setup. Buy it for a favored compatible sight and the visual theme, not because you expect fresh multiplayer substance.

Graphics

The pack centers on a cash-themed weapon finish, with matching reticles and a themed calling card to carry the idea across your profile. It is a focused look rather than a broad visual overhaul, and the motif works best when you want your weapon and player card to feel deliberately coordinated.

Story

There is no narrative arc to follow here. Benjamins is multiplayer personalization, so its “story” is limited to the money theme running through the weapon skin, reticles, and calling card.

That narrow focus is not a flaw by itself; cosmetic DLC does not need a plot. Still, anyone hoping for a new campaign angle, character material, or a meaningful expansion of Black Ops II’s fiction will find nothing to latch onto.

The theme at least stays consistent. Every included item points in the same direction, which gives the pack more character than a random assortment of unrelated cosmetics would have had.

Overall Experience

Benjamins is easy to judge: it is a modest, themed cosmetic bundle for a very particular taste. The payoff is seeing a loadout and calling card carry the same money-minded style, not unlocking new reasons to play.

Its best audience is the Black Ops II multiplayer regular who already uses Red Dot, EOTECH, or ACOG sights and wants a cash-themed finish to match. Everyone else should be more selective, since the reticles are the most individualized part of the bundle and they will not follow you to every optic.

If you are comparing themes, the related Graffiti MP Personalization Pack is worth considering alongside it. Benjamins earns a recommendation only when its specific theme fits the way you already like to personalize multiplayer.
