Call of Duty: Black Ops II
There’s no need to introduce Call of Duty to anybody. The shooter series is known to virtually everyone, and so is probably Black Ops, a sub-series to CoD. Call of Duty: Black Ops II is the ninth instalment in the most popular series of shooters. It was created by Treyarch, a highly experienced studio responsible for Call of Duty 3, Call of Duty: World at War and the original Black Ops. In Black Ops II, we will have to fight our way through year 2025.
In the futuristic world a new cold war ensues, this time with the United States and China being the main opposing forces. Their rivalry is based on the need to get rare ores needed in order to produce electric devices and alternative sources of energy. In this game, as it is a true continuation, the main character is a descendant of Alex Mason. We will witness many flashbacks from the eighties and meet returning characters like Frank Woods. David Mason’s, the above mentioned descendant’s, main enemy is Nicaraguan Raul Menendez. Why would you set your game in the future if not to lay your hand on all the new gadgets and novelties? In Call of Duty: Black Ops II we can use all the crazy new technologies that won’t be used during next decades, if they ever will.
New types of rifles, grenades and various addition bring additional fun to the game. Except for walking through the battlefield, we’ll also be able to fly over it in choppers and fighters. Controlling them is much easier, more free and more fun than in the previous instalments. Strike Force Operations, a brand new game mode lets us play Call of Duty as if it was a real time strategy. Our losses and victories affect the international situation which will change the final outcome of the game. One of the most important parts of Call of Duty has always been multiplayer. Here, in Black Ops II, it hasn’t changed a lot, but many improvements and adjustments are clearly visible. There is a new system of character development, there are many new weapons and new, interesting maps like destroyed Los Angeles or an abandoned village. The multiplayer mode is highly connected to social sites like Facebook.
