They can take control of any member of their team at any point, as well as direct the movements and positions of the rest of their allies from an Overwatch position. In Strike Force Missions, players are dropped into an open-plan, multiplayer style map, given a series of objectives to accomplish – ie defend or take certain points – and then a squad of men and AI allies. There's also a set of 'Strike Force' Missions that have an impact on the ending the player gets in the game. At certain segments players are also called on to make decisions that have plot-diverging consequences. Without giving too much away, Black Ops 2 oscillates between sticking to historical accuracy and contemporary plausibility and dumping the player into increasingly high-octane set pieces.
Players control both Mason in the future, who sports a lot of hi-tech weaponry and gadgets, and his dad, er… Mason, whose weapons are slightly less advanced, but put to no less affective service. While this is happening, one of their number, Mason, visits his dad's old war buddy, Woods, at a retirement home to get the full back story of their target. The first is set in the not-too-distant future in 2025 and it involves a group of soldiers tracking down a terrorist who is trying to take command of the West's AI defence network.
The Campaign Mode is split between two time lines. It all adds up to a pretty bold and compelling package. Finally, it's augmented and deepened the game's co-op – Treyarch's signature Zombies mode. Second, it's stripped out and completely rebuilt the game's multiplayer, offering players unparalleled customisation options, of both the cosmetic and gameplay altering variety. First, it's expanded the single player campaign by splintering its narrative and adding a series of side missions that affect its final outcome. Perhaps aware of all this, Treyarch has made a couple of notable tweaks and innovations to the formula that shot the first Black Ops to prominence. They also have to impress an FPS audience, which in the last four years has become increasingly saturated by as many quality Triple A titles as it has worthy COD knock offs, with recent rivals taking the form of Halo 4, Dishonored, Resident Evil 6, Borderlands 2 and Medal of Honor: Warfighter. It's also the first game pumped out by Treyarch since the first Black Ops game, which to date is the biggest selling entry in the COD series.īlack Ops 2, and by extension Treyarch, have a tough act to follow. Call Of Duty: Black Ops 2 is the sixth COD title to land with the seismic impact of a neutron bomb since COD 4: Modern Warfare turned Activision's FPS franchise into a global mega-seller.
