Search & Destroy in Black Ops 2 is one-life rounds — information, sound, and first-gunfight wins matter more than raw streak farming. These Pick 10 classes favor silence, trades, and bomb-site control.
Dead Silence and Ghost keep rotates and plants quieter.
Smoke and flash win plants and retakes without spraying the whole map.
Long Barrel MSMC or a controlled AR covers common SnD sightlines.

One Life Lease
Best Search and Destroy class for Black Ops 2: stay off the UAV, win the first gunfight, and plant or retake without advertising every footstep. Built for SnD / S&D lobbies where one death ends the round.
Most SnD lobbies favor a silenced or high-damage close-range primary with Ghost and Dead Silence. Start with the One Life Lease MSMC setup, then swap to stealth or anchor variants based on map and site.
Should I run Dead Silence on every SnD class?
It is one of the strongest SnD perks because footsteps give away rotates. If you drop it, have a clear reason — usually for extra utility or a second perk greed spend.
MSMC or assault rifle for SnD?
MSMC wins most close bomb-site fights. An AR or sniper anchor class is better when you hold longer lanes or play first-pick angles.
