Check it out for yourself below.
Update: Details about the game have started to emerge including the story and game modes. Black Ops 2 will take place during a fictional Cold War over rare earth elements in 2025. You play as the son first game’s protagonist, David Mason, though your father will make appearances in flashbacks.
Game director on Black Ops 2 Dave Anthony tells Polygon that player choice will impact the story for the first time in series history. Key decisions as well as player performance will both play a role in affecting the game’s outcome.
For those who complain of Call of Duty‘s linearity, the new Strike Force missions will be a welcome sight. These non-linear, sandbox campaign missions allow players to shift between all available soliders and robots on the battlefield with the goal of killing the enemy A.I. team and completing objectives.
Finally, the much-loved Zombie mode will make a return in Black Ops 2 with a new world and maps. Spec Ops and Survival will not be returning from Modern Warfare 3.
