duty calls you back in time and into the
future welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’re taking a look at everything
you should know about call of duty black
ops 2 as with the previous installments
the developers for each call of duty
game switch between infinity war and
treyarch with treyarch heading up
development for this year’s iteration
black ops 2 takes place in both the past
and the future sections taking place in
the past follow alex mason who players
will remember from the first game and
are set in central america afghanistan
and angola during the 1970s and 80s
these chapters explain the rise of the
game’s primary antagonist
narco-terrorist raul menendez the second
major part of the game will take place
in 20-25 these portions will focus on
menendez’s attempts to bring the united
states into a full-blown war with china
after a cyber attack on the Chinese
stock market sets off the second cold
war these future sections of the game
will have players take control of Alex
Mason’s son David and will feature
locations such as Los Angeles Singapore
and Yemen with a major portion of the
game being set in the future much of the
focus of the game will be on unmanned
warfare unmanned drones and robots
feature prominently as a major part of
the plot will hinge upon America’s drone
network being hijacked by terrorists
some weapons
these got hours of course players will
get to try out lots of cool new
futuristic death toys as well like arm
mounted explosive launchers and sniper
rifles that can see and of course shoot
through walls while the previous games
in the call of duty franchise have been
criticized for their stringent linearity
black ops 2 hopes to break this mold
with a more open-ended campaign and the
new Strikeforce mission system player
choice will now have a significant
impact on the plot of the game and the
outcome of the story for example when
certain objectives are failed the
mission will continue as is and the
ramifications thereof will have dramatic
effects on what happens later in the
game strike force Missions expand upon
this even further during these portions
players command vast amounts of military
assets from a commander’s perspective
much like in a real-time strategy game
but will still have the option to jump
in and join the fight from a soldier’s
perspective these sections will feature
permanent player death as dying does not
result in a chance to try again but
instead affects the outcome of the story
as a whole as in previous installments
multiplayer is still a major focus and
has seen a significant change as well a
creative class system has been
overhauled to be a lot less restrictive
as every item is now assigned a certain
number of points instead of being
designated into a specific class players
can choose any combination of items they
wish as long as their total number of
item points doesn’t exceed 10 allowing
for a near infinite combination of
weapons and equipment the addictive and
controversial killstreak system has been
replaced with scorestreaks so players
who focus on completing objectives and
helping their team will be equally
rewarded alongside those who focus
solely on body count along with major
tweaks to the prestige system
integration with Call of Duty Elite from
launch and added features for eSports
broadcasting treyarch is looking to
completely squash community fears that
black ops 2’s multiplayer will be just
more of the same
fans of tray arcs ultra-popular zombie
mode are in for a special treat as well
this time around the mode has been given
its own campaign zombie mode now runs on
the game’s multiplayer engine instead of
a modified version of the single-player
engine like the previous installments
most notably this allows for 8 player
co-op instead of just four and
incorporates theater mode so players can
rewatch and edit footage of their games
with all three sections of the game
seeing major shifts in structure players
can expect a fresh take on the familiar
goodness they come to love with the
series call of duty black ops 2 will be
available for ps3 wii u xbox 360 and
windows pc for more great video game
