It's the future now, and Raul Menendez, a terrorist at heart, is pitting the powers of the world against each other. What follows is a storyline that weaves itself between the '80s and present day , tying together Raul's past with many characters of the previous Call of Duty stories.
I will go into this in much more detail when I do a proper review of the game, but for now I'm impressed. Like all previous titles, this is where most of the players will spend their time. Also like each previous title, there have been some changes to the game mechanics, mostly dealing with weapons upgrades and perks. Weapons must be unlocked using unlock tokens, and then used in game to unlock attachments. I leveled up far enough the first night to see how it works, but I have not yet formed an opinion.
I'm optimistic at this point. If you have a strong stomach or opt out of the violence setting and you're a fan of the other COD titles, then yes, I think you'll like it. If you're also a fan of sci-fi movies, or future-tech books, then definitely you'll like it.
After an hour of playing it I can attest that this game is going to be as epic as previous Call of Duty games and it's worth labouring the point, that Call of Duty games are the most popular media of any type in the world.
What it hopefully will do is stress to parents of young gamers that the video game Classification System is still well-and-truly broken and that this is one of the most intense and impactful adult games ever made. As such I expect to being playing online with 10 years olds whose parents have no idea about such matters and who still think that games are for kids. I also expect for those kids to be the victim of enormous online abuse from other players.
I have no gripes about my year-old playing Halo - single player or online. There's no hate-filled community and idiots are in the minority. I might say that, but I know it's rubbish because he'll see it and play it round at his mates' houses just as he always does.
The following screenshots show just how realistic Black Ops II is. However, there are also a few from the opening scenes literally that some may see as spoilers. Games like Call of Duty have striven to be interactive movies for many years now.
Players use pistols, sniper rifles, machine guns, explosives, and melee attacks to kill enemy soldiers; the frenetic conflicts are highlighted by realistic gunfire, screams of pain, and large splashes of blood from injured characters. Blood stains are also depicted around corpses and in the surrounding environment. Some weapons result in decapitated bodies or dismembered limbs, and various attacks are accompanied by slow-motion effects.
Another year brings forth yet another Call of Duty, however this year brings substantial improvements to both the single-player and multiplayer components.
The campaign is easily the best in the series that features huge set-pieces right out the gate and never lets up until its thrilling end. A first in the series you can now choose your load-outs before each mission and the campaign features multiple endings with significant changes in the story depending on your actions and your ability to complete mission objectives. Thankfully, these missions are optional and only one mission has to be successfully completed in order to achieve the best ending.
Zombies makes a return and introduces a brand new Trazit mode that is basically a campaign for Zombies. When creating your class you now have 10 slots to fully customize your load-out. Guns take one slot, perks take one slot, grenades, and attachments take one slot as well.
For example if you want to create a class that only has one gun with 6 perks or a class that has no perks and no grenades but allows for your primary and secondary weapon to have 3 attachments apiece, you can now do that!
